Cal Football Spring Practice Day 10
MEMORIAL STADIUM - The streak of perfect weather ended today with clear skies and chilly wind in today’s session at Memorial. Unlike yesterday’s spring-high three interceptions, there was only one INT on the day - a tough, acrobatic one-handed pick by INT machine cornerback Marcus Harris, who continued his spring run of stellar coverage and turnovers.
OLB coach/special teams coordinator Vic So’oto and OLB David Reese were on the media banner following practice to take questions on today’s action and spring ball so far.
"Just another jump," So'oto said of his outside linebacker unit. “This is the second spring ball that (David) Reese has had. "Third one that X (Xavier Carlton) has had. First one that Ryan (McCulloch) has had, so these guys are all taking the jumps that we're excited about when we recruited them here, and big expectations when we get into fall."
Here are some of the standout plays of the session:
11x11
- Matthews with a 12-yard end-around
- WR Trond Grizzell with difficult 15-yard grab from QB Fernando Mendoza
- TE Jeffrey Johnson with a 17-yard TD catch from QB Chandler Rogers

Final 11x11 Period

- A difficult 1-handed INT by on 30-yard Mendoza pass
- Rogers to Marshall for 15-yard sideline catch

Practice ended on another booming 56-yard field goal that cleared the crossbar by a good margin down the middle.
