Tennessee’s LeGarrette Blount and Arizona’s Max Hall both put forth outstanding efforts in the Titan’s 24-10 preseason victory on Monday Night Football. Blount was a high-flying battering ram who bullied his way to 42 rushing yards on 9 carries. The running back put his athletic wares on display by showcasing a violent running style that saw him change directions and hurdle his opponents. The 240-pound rookie was especially impressive on a fourth-quarter run in which he was patient to the hole and waited for his blockers to clear a path on a designed sweep. Going forward, the athletic marvel should work on running a little lower and the keeping aerial maneuvers to a minimum if he hopes to have a long career in the pros. Blount may end up serving as a late-game closer in games where Tennessee jumps out to a big lead. Similarly, Hall looked sharp

College Football Insiders “Pac-10 players to watch for 2010” series continues on the offensive side of the ball with UCLA receiver Nelson Rosario.
UCLA is, and has been in dire need of a playmaker on offense. You can blame the offensive line, the quarterbacks, the overall talent level, a lack of coaching, or whatever you want. But the fact remains: the Bruins have not had a player on the first or second All Conference team at any skill position since 2005 and the days of Maurice Jones-Drew. At 6’5”, with good speed and the jumping ability good enough to finish third in the long jump and tenth in the high jump at the Pac-10 Track and Field Championships, Nelson Rosario has the chance to give the Bruins a very effective deep

Any coach will tell you that getting a large number of reps in practice is important. They will also tell you that repetitions in practice and the experience gained from snaps in real games are not the same things. Even though he didn’t get the full-time quarterback job until the fourth game of last season,
