University of Richmond 7-on-7
On Saturday, we attended the Richmond Spiders 7-on-7 Shootout and Big Man camp. We took 30 players up to the camp and did well, especially our lineman.
On the day our 7-on-7 crew went 5 and 2, losing in overtime to Meadowbrook and in a shootout 4 to 3 with a stacked Colonial Forge squad. Overall, I was pleased. We approach 7-on-7 a little differently than some in that we do what we will do in the fall, we don’t take advantage of the 4 second count given to QB’s because for the most part that doesn’t happen in the fall. Also our defense will use the defenses we will use in the fall - those set up to both stop the run and pass.
Some will use prevent defense the whole day and be in defenses that they will never be in this fall. I want there to be carryover to the fall, so we do what we do. If our experience doesn’t make better in the fall than it’s not something that I want to do.
