It’s that time of year again when the Bulldogs shed the fat accumulated over Spring Break and sharpen their skills for the 2017 season. Team 145 is officially here!
As others have noted, Sean McGowan has taken the reins as Defensive Coordinator, while Steve Vashel will be coaching the OLB’s. We applaud this decision as McGowan’s contributions to the Harvard win cannot go unnoticed. We still have not seen a response from the administration in regards to the understaffed and mistake-prone sports medicine department. Let’s pray that we avoid significant knee and shoulder injuries this spring as Team 145 is talented, but not as deep as one would hope at several positions.
The Senior Dinner will be held April 12th at the Yale Club in NYC and don’t forget about the Reno Road Show from May 2nd to the 18th in a city near you.
The keys to a successful spring:
Develop the younger offensive linemen to fill the holes left by Cannon, Friedline and Iverson
Improve timing between QB’s and WR’s
Work on QB fundamentals: footwork, reads, staying in the pocket as long as possible
Create more penetration along defensive front
Promote unity within the defensive backfield
Implement the TE’s more effectively in the offense

I ATTENDED PRACTICE THIS MORNING. RENO WAS COACHING THE DBS. HE WAS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC PRAISING THEIR PLAY. DBS WERE WERE STICKING VERY CLOSELY TO RECEIVERS. QBS WERE MOSTLY ON TARGET WITH THEIR PASSES. TOSAN WAS PLAYING SAFETY. BO HINES PLAYED AT WR. EISELEN AND STROTHER WERE PLAYING LG AND LT RESPECTIVELY.
What’s the practice schedule?
When’s the spring game?
CHECK ” YALE FOOTBALL ON TWITTER” FOR PRACTICE SCHEDULE AND SPRING GAME.
I see one graphic that lists practice dates – but not times.
And no specific mention of which of those dates, if any, represents the spring game.
Any place to find more specifics than the list of dates that they provided?
March 31, April 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24, 26, 27.
Thank you, Ray. Wish there were more reports like yours. Any sign of Bezney, any info on whether Tyler will play this fall?
BEZNEY WAS PLAYING AT RIGHT TACKLE DURING ONE SERIES. THE SPRING GAME IS SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY APRIL 22nd. THE PRACTICES ARE SCHEDULED TO START BETWEEN 6: AM AND 6: 30 A.M. MORE INFO CAN BE GARNERED BY CALLING THE YALE FOOTBALL OFFICE AT 203-432-1490.
Tip of the cap to you, Ray! Much thanks.
I believe Bezny is playing right guard and Jack Lee is playing right tackle
WHERE IS MY POST THAT I SUBMITTED YESTERDAY RE YALE FOOTBALL ?
Yale has not beaten Harvard at the Bowl since 1999. It’s time to end that embarrassment.
Please find Ray’s post. They’re always informative.
