What went on:
Jayden Daniels and Ethan Long each had impressive days for the most part. Daniels looked like he’d been an ASU a lot longer than a few weeks. He kept hitting wide receivers in stride, one particular went to receiver Frank Darby, who ran through a group of defenders for a potential long play. Daniels also continued to showcase his ability to throw on the run in general. In one-on-one drills Daniels also dropped a fantastic pass to wide receiver Geordon Porter on a deep ball.
Long showed a lot better timing and accuracy with certain comeback routes. For the most part he continued to show progress until the last session of seven-on-sevens. Long threw a pass behind tight end Jared Bubak, Bubak got a hand on it, but tipped it into the air and it fell into the arms of cornerback Timarcus Davis.
Cornerback Chase Lucas then started his big day after Davis’ pick. Lucas read a short pass from Long to running back Paul Lucas. Offensive coordinator Rob Likens was yelling at (we believe) wide receiver Tyerell Baldonado-Kaelopu to get more of a ‘pick’ on Lucas before he read the play. Lucas picked another ball off near the sideline, and safety Tyler Whiley said, “we got three over here.”
Defensive coordinator celebrated with Lucas. He also praised Ely Doyle for a play he read easily on a screen pass, Doyle continues to make the transition from defensive back to linebacker.
