Camp Rantoul mailbag (part 2)

In the two minute drill on Friday morning, I watched only Juice's eyes. The bad news was, he probably threw the ball to the first guy he looked at 65% of the time. The good news is, he completed nearly every one of those passes. It gave me confidence that when he did check down to his 2nd and 3rd options, it was because he didn't want to force the ball to a covered option #1. I don't think we'll call many plays where Juice intentionally looks off the safety center and right and then tosses left - that's probably a little above his pay grade - but I have more confidence in Juice checking off his first receiver to throw to #2 than I did last year.
