Notes and quotes from Week 1 of UNM spring football practice:
During Friday’s practice, the third of the spring session but the first in pads, the defense clearly got the better of the offense in 11-on-11 drills.
“Looks like you guys need some new plays,” one defender told his brethren on the offense.
Actually, the offense has plenty of new plays — which could be one reason the offense was struggling a bit while trying to absorb all the new information. Coach Bob Davie and offensive coordinator Bob DeBesse are seeking to expand the offense’s base option package, as well as the hurry-up spread scheme the Lobos used on occasion last fall.
