#BYU will be moving from morning practices to the afternoons in the fall.

There was a productive tempo in practice and a sense of urgency. Had not seen that the last two years. Very little downtime. #BYU

Beau Hoge, Zach Wilson, and Stacy Conner have the best arms in the QB room. Mistakes were made though by pretty much everyone. The QB debate will take some time. #BYU

Players that stood out to me from Day 1:
– Austin Lee
– Michael Shelton
– Tristen Hoge
– Tariq Buchanan

Couple of fights at practice 1. Including a bench-clearing brawl. Yes! BYU Football is back! #GoCougs

Also, Butch Pau'u is done trying to bulk up to a "traditional" MLB size, and spent all offseason working out with the DBs. Going back to the strengths he showed as a sophomore.

Kalani says he thinks he can eliminate a lot of the issues with injuries by going to afternoon practices
— Brandon Gurney (@BrandonCGurney) March 5, 2018
One word I won't use to describe the first day of practices is "relaxed," as reflected in Kalani's opening quote
— Brandon Gurney (@BrandonCGurney) March 5, 2018
“A lot of guys desperate to change things," was Kalani's first words when asked to give his observations of the first day
— Brandon Gurney (@BrandonCGurney) March 5, 2018
Wilstead with a nice seam pass to Bushman, who made a great grab; A little scuffle toward the end of practice, and Kalani chewing some guys out
— Brandon Gurney (@BrandonCGurney) March 5, 2018
Some quick hits from the open portion of practice. I'll give the notes in order that I took them: Austin Lee with an INT; Baylor Romney TD pass to Inoke Lotulelei; Wilstead TD pass to Tariq Buchanan; Tapusoa with an impressed pass knockdown in coverage…

I tried to not get excited for Spring Football… but BYU Football in any form makes me happy! #GoCougs pic.twitter.com/tmpYLt6K16

Watched some of the Spring practice today! We are looking sharp! Great atmosphere and feel around the program! I know it's early but I've got my blue goggles on for sure! I went and checked my eligibility again… I don't have any. The compliance guy hates me. I check every day..

So Beau Hope threw a couple great balls today….then went hard after a linebacker in the big fight of the morning. All while wearing his “I’m a pussy…don’t touch me, green QB jersey”. So clearly….my choice for starter.
