2008 Texas vs. Nation - Day 2 Texas Practice Report
by Sigmund Bloom, Cecil Lammey, Marc Faletti & Josh Buchanan

There were crazy wind gusts in the Sun Bowl today that made the passing game very difficult, and also made watching practice a challenge. It's tough to judge QBs and WRs in this weather.

QB

Bret Meyer, Iowa State

Showed better athleticism running the football when the play broke down. Wind affected a lot of his passes, but he also showed good touch. He is a football player, but probably not enough accuracy to stay at QB in the NFL.

Daniel Polk, Midwestern State

Got more WR work, seems to have the quicks and deep speed to get a shot in the NFL as an UFA.

Caleb Hanie, Colorado State

Defense was all over his bootleg today.

Adam Tafralis, San Jose State

Still showing athleticism moving around well in the pocket, and threw well on the run, but wind also affected his accuracy.

RB

Xavier Omon, NW Missouri State

Looked good between the tackles once again, showed decent hands - but the defense wrapped him up a little better and he was not breaking as many tackles. Good lower body strength.

Alley Broussard, Missouri Southern

Good power, good hands on a swing pass out of the backfield, however, defense blew him up in the backfield a couple times - although its partially due to missed blocks. Runs too high at times, but finds the hole and hits it hard. Would be nice to see him block some with his size - could be a FB/RB tweener.
