I'm confused because Ezell Ruffin was out there, but there was no one sporting #82. The roster they handed out was from page 10 of the media guide and it was entitled, "2010 Season Preview." Ruffin is listed as #82. Deonte Williams was listed as #34, and there was a fine running back wearing #34 who got a lot of reps and looked good. #34 also caught some passes in drills. There is no one listed as #41 on offense, but there was a wide receiver wearing #41 who got plenty of reps. Maybe Ruffin cut his number in half so he could wear a running back number. I'm sure some sleuth will figure this out. Other running backs who looked good included Davon Brown, Walter Kazee, and #34 who was probably Deonte Williams. Don't know whether it qualifies me as a sleuth but it sure appears as though page 10 of the media guide needs to be updated: goaztecs.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/sdsu-m-footbl-mtt.html#34 appears to be now be worn by Ruffin, who will apparently play running back rather than receiver. #41 appears to now be worn by Marcus Russell, a transfer wide receiver from Fresno City College. The conclusion to be drawn is that as first speculated, Deonte Williams has NOT made it in. (Sorry, MD.) |

Thanks for the briefing and we'll miss you for a week. Have fun in Vegas. Can someone remind me what is happening with Muema? RS? I was following Muema on Facebook but he either stoped posting or closed his account or restricted who can look at his stuff. I think his injury was to his eye and that he said he would report. So he should be there. |

Of all the positions I was expecting a JC transfer, WR was way down the list. Is he a walk-on?

Muema was running sprints under someone's supervision but was not involved in any drills.

Also, two people have told me that walk-on quarterback Chris Forni from San Francisco City College has moved to wide receiver. My guess would be there are two reasons for those moves. One is Deonte Williams' reported inability to qualify and Ezell Ruffin's consequent move to running back has created an unanticipated vacancy at wideout. The other is that Preston King's reported heart condition has created a second such unexpected vacancy at wide receiver. |

For those who have been to practice... do the guys REALLY look stronger and tougher? I hope so. More strength and toughness last year would have resulted in a 6-6 record!

And it leaves us with 3 freshman back up QBs which worries me in who is going to seperate to be number two, will that change throughout the season --- how bad of shape have we been at backup QB for quite some time now. |

Bernards looked extremely unimpressive in that first practice. Completion % had to be well below 50% on uncontested routes. Many throws behind the receivers... |

Can we expect any of them to be even serviceable? It is laughable what we have had behind the 1st string the last, I don't know half dozen years. We might as well be working on a flex bone or something because we're done if we have to throw the ball with any of them. The great QB recruiter brought in exactly one QB in 3 years. |

Let's put in this way, we need to hang onto the QB that we have a verbal from right now. |

Can I make a request? Let's not contemplate any injuries at all--especially at quarterback. I don't believe in jinxes, but there is no one serviceable to backup Lindley.

Could have been worse, like 1 one 4 years. |

These are 3 redshirt Frosh QBs....not true freshmen. They have been with this staff as long as Ryan has. Let's not assume they can't contribute.........true Frosh QBs have been helping other teams around the country last year.......i.e. Wyoming.
He led the Cowchips all year, was the primary guy in defeating us and then led them to a bowl victory.
We need to start thinking that true Frosh and RSFrosh don't necessarily mean an empty uniform.

I'm guessing you're talking Craft, I think Mougey could have been a pretty good one if he didn't have KO ahead of him (he lit it up when he came in before getting hurt). But, likewise, Craft another QB, did a horrid job either bringing in or developing back-up QBs, 7 years of basically only having a first string qb is a problem. |
