In a pre-game press conference, Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said that he loves to see the alumni come out for spring football and he really likes what he has seen so far.
“Just coming off the field, wrapping up a large segment of scrimmage work today with our players. Good to see a lot of familiar faces out there, guys that had a chance to play with or play for a lot of former coaches. There’s a lot of energy and it’s good for our guys to see that. The alumni have always been a huge part of why guys come here and they showed up strong. Looking forward to seeing them on Friday at the spring game as well,” said Cristobal.
He added, “Overall, very excited for the progress from our entire football team and we still have three days of practice … we’re getting a little bit more consistent but not consistent enough. I would say the way that they’re approaching their dailies … understanding that finishing a play and finishing collectively on a play is just as important as the technique that goes into starting the play … we’re thrown a lot at them schematically and they’ve taken and done a good job, that’s been really good. Some of the older players have really stepped up.”
The University of Miami spring football game kicks off on Friday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time on ACCNX.
