What stood out from Wisconsin football's seventh spring practice
Checking in from Wisconsin's football facilities after a fully-padded day
MADISON, Wis. — The cracking of the pads sounded a little louder at the University of Wisconsin football team’s seventh spring practice.
Wisconsin went fully-padded Saturday, first starting inside Camp Randall Stadium before finishing on the field just north of it. One particular period early on saw a few groups of offensive players spaced out on the east sideline of the stadium with a ball in front of each of them. Reaching and grabbing the ball from about knee-high off an a set of Agile 2 pads, they fought to get upfield against an assigned defender.
Teammates surrounded them and reacted to the collisions. This portion of practice ended when a pair of freshmen, safety Kah’ni Watts and quarterback Ryan Hopkins went against one another, with players celebrating around the first-year defensive back after a nice stick.
There’s plenty to chat about from Saturday’s practice, so here are several thoughts.
