Dave Matter: Monday Practice Report
Saturday's case of the drops led to Jared Perry, the Tigers' most experienced wide receiver, working mostly with the No. 2 offense. Perry still lined up No. 1 at the X-receiver position, but it was Jerrell Jackson who joined Danario Alexander and Wes Kemp with the No. 1 offense for the bulk of the snaps. Alexander appeared to move into Perry's X position while Jackson played the slot H position. Perry was not happy with the demotion, but even less happy with his recent play. "Mentally, I was a little defeated coming out to practice today because of the change," he told me. "But I just know I've got to work hard and make plays like I've been doing."

PowerMizzou: Monday Afternoon Practice Report

- Gabbert checks down on his receivers, and hits Kemp for a seven-yard gain.
- Gabbert hits Kemp on a slant over the middle.
- Gabbert hits Kemp on an intermediate dig route for a 12-yard gain. -

SS Hardy Ricks timed a short pass attempt perfectly, and nearly got an interception, but QB Blaine Gabbert came back with a short TD run of around 3 yards on a scramble. Sophomore TB Gilbert Moye also had a short TD plunge on the ground as practice came to a close…

Visalia Times-Delta (via Campus Corner): Sheldon Richardson using College of Sequoias as stepping stone to University of Missouri
The major adjustment for Richardson has been more weight lifting than running in high school he can bench press 355 pounds as opposed to 305 pounds when he graduated. And coaches are teaching more technique.
"There's just more technique, that's my main adjustment," Richardson said. "I just feel that I have a lot of defensive line, defensive end moves that I can use that will work in this conference. The o-lines have never seen moves like mine before." - PowerMizzou: Brian Coulter sacking the hype
