It's never one thing, which I think is something I'll probably be banging my head into the wall with no matter how things go. Mitch and the WRs have to develop timing. Just because you're playing with better receivers doesn't make your job exactly easier with timing. They're banged up on the interior so much a 2nd year guy is grabbing first team snaps(and doing fine, but he'd be the fourth or fifth option at that position.) The defense played well and won the scrimmage over the weekend, but even if Sam was in, you'd expect the defense to win the first scrimmage at every school.
Not going to say there hasn't been a step back with Griffis, because that'd be inaccurate, but it's never just one thing. Have heard today was a very good day for Mitch. Waiting to hear full stuff from the practice, but today for now sounds like one the offense won. Which would make it 2/2/1(one practice was just walkthroughs) in terms of who "won", aka not much dissimilar from 3/3/1 during the 7 practices with Hartman
