BOCA RATON, Fla. - Florida Atlantic University football held its final scheduled non-pad practice on Thursday morning. The session was up-tempo, productive and evenly matched between the offense and defense.
Practice Notes
- The day ended with an unscripted first-and-goal at the five, followed by scripted special teams work
- Redshirt junior wide receiver Kamrin Solomon had a fingertip catch for a big gain during individual drills and added another nice catch during 7-on-7
- A portion of the team drills focused on the run game, however senior receiver Nate Terry took advantage of that time to record a nice catch
- During the second team session, the defensive line was credited with a sack and on the following play, redshirt sophomore receiver James Brunson had a nice catch for a big gain
- Redshirt freshman Jordan Helm had the day's first interception. The Jacksonville native returned it for a score and celebration
- Orlando native AJ Turman broke through the line for a 10-yard gain up the middle and the following play he added a three-yard reception to his day's work
- The final two big plays were credited to the defense which recorded another sack before sophomore linebacker Rashad Smith came away with an interception
Head Coach Lane Kiffin
Opening
"I thought the guys had a lot of really good energy. Obviously, we have a lot to clean up, too many turnovers, work on snaps, I thought the guys competed well. There was some competitive stuff within the team and the guys responded well."
On the goal line work
"I just try to do things that they don't know is coming. The coaches don't either. They have to adjust. The coordinators have to make calls that aren't on the scripts, aren't on the plans. It usually creates a competitive situation where the guys kinda get into it. It is what a game is like."
