2010 Blue and Orange Game Joe Southwick edition

Quick Fan Favorite Joe Southwick seem to get the quality snaps towards the end of the scrimmage. Was it designed by the coaches to see the development or was it the "way the proverbial cookie crumbled"? Not sure but I will say the future is bright down the road. I still believe that the battle for #2 is competitive between Southwick and #7 Mike Coughlin. Do not count out the seasoned Coughlin. Yes, he has not been in the thick of the battle for quite the long time, but he is the one I go to if someone was to spell #11 Kellen Moore. Would love to see Coughlin with the #1 skilled weapons and offensive line as well as the whole playbook vs what has been common for Mike over the last few years- scrimmaging with the #2's and #3's on and off. However, that being said, here is the best of Southwick, who I wish nothing but the best!

Kyle Wilson shows up...to a smattering of applause
The black shirt qb's

I believe the man in the middle is a recruit...

......pictured here again with the qb's prior to the scrimmage

Saw all of the qb's shake his head...I figured him to be a qb recruit #96 Root's hair is in midseason form

#80 Efaw's blocking stance is not in mid season form

This chop block might be fruitful

#7 Coughlin levitates ( at least 8 inches, right) and slings the rock

2 reasons why qb's wear black shirts for protection during spring ball...1) #41 Marshall

....2) #52 Acrey closing in fast

#7 Coughlin deals to #29 Tyler Jackson early on

Hard to imagine, #1 Titus Young being this wide open...and appears that the ball will sail over his outstretched fingers....

..once the completion is made, then he has to deal with #52 Acrey and #17 Venable

...destruction

I do not like where this chop block is headed...

Another failed chop block

#11 Moore eyes #20 Burroughs

#21 Carlo Audagnotti sizes up rushing db #19 Borgman...and makes an efficent chop block
