Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, the Bulldog football team had practices number two and three. Much of the same type of drills went on with more and more of the offense getting installed every practice. Find out how each position battle is shaping up

Ford, give us vol 3!!! This is addictive.
Vol. 3 may not come this week, the real world is holding me back from living in the Tech football fantasy world. Although, some recruiting news could come out this week.Originally Posted by DAIQUIRIDAWG

Good read. I'm enjoying these articles.

So many skill players that an entire article can be written without even mentioning Livas!
I enjoyed that story.... What time do they practice wednesday and where?
Practice times and locations (all will be at the Joe), can be found here - http://www.latechsports.com/sports/m...031210aaa.html
Wednesday will be at 4 and in full pads. The site says that it will be at the practice field, but I think I read somewhere that all practices are moved to the regular field. Either way, shouldn't be too hard to find.
There's not much you can say other than he's catching tennis balls and standing around in a non-contact jersey nursing that toe. The way he's walking around I'm not so sure he'll be ready by August.
I say redshirt him if possible to be sure he can be totally healthy. I know we've got a ton of players at his position now who are very good also, but you never know when we could have another season like this year, and it would be good to have him at full speed for the season after this one.
Well he just had the surgery I believe, so yea he does look banged up right now. But the rehab is only suppose to be a solid 2-3 months max. Im hearing he'll be 100% come August. With Molten and Paige here now, Livas role of getting the ball every play will be diminished, so we should be able to keep him much healthier this year.
I wouldn't be worried if we were running the same offense but he's missing out on alot of coaching during the spring. Also, factor in Richie Casey who looks every bit as good if not better. So, yeah, his chances of seeing the ball will be limited. I tend to lean more toward what Dirty wants to do and see if we can redshirt him.
I really hope we can use Livas almost exclusively in the return game--punt & kickoff returns. He has proven to be a game-changer as a returner & is one of the most feared returners in the nation. Perhaps we might spot him in our offense from time to time for a couple touches a game but, as LFR indicated, we are now suddenly LOADED with big-play receivers & there may not be many touches to go around after Paige, Molton, Casey, Fitte, & Harper get theirs.
I agree....... The only problem last year was that it put our defense on the field quicker when he would run one back (example: the Navy game) - not that I don't want the 7 points. However, I have a feeling with our new fast moving offense, the defense will be on the field a lot, anyway. :icon_wink:
You make a good point, Coach. I wonder how Livas is going to take the diminished role. Personally, I've always thought he was most effective in the return game anyway, and even hurt was much more productive than in the offense. I don't know how much of an ego he has (he's always seemed down to earth to me), but I hope he's able to accept that there are now at least 2 or 3 others that equal his talent and doesn't mind sharing the accolades or fans' attentions and cause his game to diminish. I really think he could still be THE difference maker on this team with his special teams play and any offensive touches he would get because there are so many others we have now that the other team needs to focus on as well.
