This past weekend the Lumberjacks hit the road again for the sixth time in their first nine games as they traveled to Pocatello, Idaho to take on the Bengals of Idaho State. The trip was dubbed “Operation Ocho” by the staff and players as the team sought their eighth win of the season, and eighth win in a row. The game got off to a similar start as the one the previous weekend against Northern Colorado as the Lumberjacks scored first on a safety as junior defensive tackle Tim Wilkinson registered a sack in the end zone, and a non offensive touchdown as senior end Jarret Bilbrey blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. After the early scoring by the defense and special teams, the offense got on track and amassed over 600 yards of total offense while scoring the final 31 consecutive points of the game. A complete recap of the game can be found here.

On Thursday, the Lumberjacks were back on the field for another practice, and their final tune-up before their second scrimmage tomorrow night inside the Skydome. While the Lumberjacks do have another double-day practice tomorrow, the morning session is simply a mock-game walk through for players to adjust to the new pre-game warm-up countdown. Then, the pads are popping during scrimmage number two inside the Skydome. In the video below Senior Offensive Lineman Trey Gilleo, Head Coach Jerome Souers, and Junior Defensive Lineman Tim Wilkinson preview the scrimmage. Enjoy!

While rain may have forced the Lumberjacks to practice inside today, it did little to dampen the competitive nature of the team as they donned shoulder pads for the first time of the 2012 campaign. With the addition of shoulder pads practice was, as expected, even more physical. That physicality was especially evident during the team periods of today’s practice which focused on specific situations, and more specifically, 3rd down situations. The two team sessions occurring both in the middle and at the end of practice were dominated by the defense and featured some big plays. On the defensive side, both safeties Taylor Patton and Mike Dosen intercepted passes while newcomer Quentin Kantaris registered a sack. However, the defensive performer of the day was Tim Wilkinson who had a number of impact plays from his defensive tackle position. On the offensive side of the ball, Cal transfer running back Covaughn Deboskie broke off a long run thanks to some key blocks and sophomore tight end R. J. Rickert made a nice concentrated catch in traffic.
The Jacks are back on the practice field Monday afternoon at 2:00 PM.
