canadian goose jacket When Lafayette opened its football summer camp on Friday, Zach Zweizig (left) was out there working as the No. 3 quarterback in a four man rotation. canadian goose jacket
canada goose black friday sale That the 6 5 former Wilson West Lawn star was there at all is canada goose factory sale somewhat of a surprise to many including, perhaps, Zweizig, who took over the starting job in the seventh game of his sophomore season and started seven straight games before a concussion against Penn last fall put him on the sidelines. canada goose black friday sale
When Zweizig was hurt at Penn, Andrew Dzurik took over the QB spot. But at halftime of Lafayette’s game canada goose uk shop against Harvard, when Dzurik continued to have problems, Leopards head coach Frank Tavani and defensive coordinator Mickey Fein elected to Canada Goose Jackets go to freshman Drew Reed.
Canada Goose Outlet Reed lit a fire under the Lafayette offense, and that canada goose coats fire became a blaze and destroyed four of five Patriot League teams down canada goose coats on sale the stretch to help the Leopards win their first league title Canada Goose sale since 2006 and advance to the FCS postseason tournament. The Leopards didn’t win at New Hampshire, and late in uk canada goose outlet the game, Blake Searfoss, another freshman, replaced Reed at quarterback and took Lafayette to its only touchdown in a 34 6 loss.

Dzurik decided to leave Lafayette at the end of the first semester, leaving Tavani with just two for sure quarterbacks. Tavani recruited Josh Davis from San Juan Capistrano, Calif., then, for insurance, he brought in Thomas Martin of Kansas City, Mo., a kicker quarterback.
Canada Goose Jackets Martin was back with kickers Ryan Gralish and Ryan Forrester on Friday. Canada Goose Jackets
Zweizig Canada Goose Online said that after he decided he would not play football in his final year at Lafayette, he began having second thoughts.
Canada Goose Parka “I thought, three more months and my career is over, and if I decide not to play, I have the rest of my life to regret not playing. For this three months, I can suck it up, be out here with my teammates, enjoy myself and I can’t be mad at myself for canada goose store not playing.” Canada Goose Parka
That’s fine with Tavani and Fein, who don’t have to think long to know the dilemma that faced them just last season. Having a player of Zweizig’s experience at the ready could be a real comfort for the coaches and the team.
canada goose Zweizig, who told me, “I don’t care if I’m second team, third team or fourth team,” is convinced he can contribute in whatever role he’s asked to play. canada goose
buy canada goose jacket “I’m on the field and canadian goose jacket I will try to be the best leader I can be and help the young guys,” he said. “It would be nice to get into a game, but if not, I’m happy just being out here and being with my teammates.” buy canada goose jacket
Canada Goose sale When I talked to Tavani earlier in the week, he said he would probably have all four quarterbacks on his travel roster. Three of them would dress for the game, while the fourth would be on to chart plays and other things. That way all four would be up to speed on what’s going on. Canada Goose sale
canada goose clearance sale Zweizig threw well on Friday, and it’s possible that, given his experience, he could regain the No. 2 spot behind Reed, but Tavani and Fein are putting no pressure on him. canada goose clearance sale
That’s fine with canada goose clearance sale Zweizig, who said he was “really stressed” by being the starter as a sophomore. He lost 25 pounds during that season, when he had added stress when his father, with canada goose uk outlet whom he was extremely close, died just prior to the Lafayette Lehigh game.
He did not work out with the team this summer, because it has been his regular practice to work on a neighbor’s farm in Berks County. He said he threw a football “only two or three times” but did run, and he passed the physical test on Thursday.

“God forbid something happens to Drew or Blake, but if I have to step in, I will uk canada goose and I’ll do the best I can.”

canada goose deals Tavani told me early in the week that he expected to buy canada goose jacket have 86 players at the opening day of camp. Well, that didn’t work out. Freshman linebacker Michael Root suffered a hamstring injury that might cause him to be sidelined for most, if not all of the preseason practices. Conn were both in blue jerseys, meaning their practice was restricted because of hamstring tweaks. Running back Deuce Gruden and wide receiver Matt Mrazek were also slowed, but did compete all morning. This was my cheap canada goose uk first look at Canada Goose Outlet the incoming freshmen, https://www.canadagooseparks.com and let me tell you, there seems to be a talent level that is going to make for some very interesting battles for those back up spots on both sides of the ball. One guy who caught my eye was defensive lineman Beau Bosch. He’s listed at 6 5, 215, but he LOOKS much bigger. I’m told this group of recruits was impressive in testing. Soon, we’ll get a look at them at full speed. I talked a moment with tight end Quinn Smith, a freshman who was not able canada goose black friday sale to be on campus for the workouts last month. “My Canada Goose online head is spinning a little right now,” he admitted. He has a bit of a learning curve that I’m sure he will make up. He’s 6 5, 230, and he’s at a position where that can be a big asset for him. canada goose outlet He’s two inches taller than any of the returning tight end candidates. It was a helmets only day, but when the offensive and defensive lines got together, it was anything but tame. cheap Canada Goose But none of canada goose uk black friday the wrestling matches escalated into anything serious. Saturday, and shoulder pads are added on Sunday. I think everyone will be happy when some live work can be added to the activities, but as Tavani said earlier, the plan is to not overdo the scrimmage work. The Leopards’ only day of scrimmaging with officials is Aug. 20. canada goose deals
canada goose coats on sale As I sat in Frank Tavani’s office the other day in the Bourger Varsity Football House, I looked out in wonderment at the Fisher Field playing surface Canada Goose Parka and the two long lines of sprinklers that were watering it. canada goose coats on sale
Fisher Field is FieldTurf. Artificial grass. So, what’s with the water?
“They’re getting ready for us,” Tavani said when I said I was befuddled Canada Goose Coats On Sale by the watering operation.
buy canada goose jacket cheap He then proceeded to tell me that on the really hot summer days, when the field temperature can get up to 120 degrees or so, the practice for the last three years has been to water the field for three hours prior to the afternoon practice. buy canada goose jacket cheap
“The field will take 22 inches of water,” Tavani said. “When you water it for about three hours, you can put down about six inches of water. That water can lower the temperature of the field by about 30 degrees. When the temperature is 120 and you skid on the surface, it’ll take the skin right off. Watering it takes it down to about 90 degrees; what a tremendous difference.”
Canada Goose online Tavani said that the first year the FieldTurf was used, Lafayette plant operations didn’t know about the water hint. He said when the coaches and players got on the hot surface, the glue on the bottom of their shoes actually melted. Canada Goose online
“Nobody wanted to believe me at first,” he said. “Now, in Florida, when they put the FieldTurf down, they put watering systems right into it. Here, we have the hoses along the wall, and when we canada goose clearance take the temperature of the field and decide it needs water, it buy canada goose jacket cheap takes about 15 minutes for two guys to set it up.
