COLLEGE FOOTBALL:
Fall Camp is underway.
In Corvallis, the Beavers aren’t totally starting from scratch despite turnover in the entire coaching staff.
Returning Running Back Cornell Hatcher Jr says he was convinced to stay after meeting with coach JaMarcus Shephard, “He brings a whole other level of intensity that I haven’t had before and I just felt like it was something I couldn’t miss out on.”
In Eugene, Ducks offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer says quarterback Dante Moore is more comfortable taking command of the team, “I think his biggest growth and development has been in his leadership role and the way that he pushes guys outside. And not just does it with his words; does it with his actions.”
Practice for week 2 of fall camp continues today.
