Perhaps the biggest surprise Tuesday was that quarterback Taysom Hill, making a comeback from his third major, season-ending injury, a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot, did more than anybody expected he would after new offensive coordinator Ty Detmer said last month that the fifth-year senior would do next to nothing.
"I'm nowhere close to 100 [percent]," Hill told reporters after the workout, saying he still can't run anywhere near full speed on the foot.
Still, he was out there with last year's 13-game starter, sophomore Tanner Mangum, and the two others involved in what Detmer has said will be an "open competition" to be the starter next fall, Beau Hoge and Koy Detmer Jr.
