WHO'S HOT
After earning a scholarship, sophomore tight end Austin Harrington showed he wasn't going to rest off his accomplishment. He caught two touchdowns in a goal-line scrimmage Wednesday morning. Harrington's work Monday also earned him a nomination for the black jersey, which goes to the top practice player on each side of the ball.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I'm not unhappy because I know what the problem was. We put the goal-line defense in this morning in a meeting. They had never taken a snap in it. We had some guys in positions they had never been in. We'll get them coached up."
-- Dennis Therrell, defensive coordinator, on a goal-line scrimmage that didn't go the defense's way.
