Notes and observations from today's practice...
We saw a couple different changes to the lineup: Chris Hawkins got the first reps at safety ahead of Marvell Tell (and alongside Leon McQuay). It was the opposite yesterday. Jonathan Lockett was again the nickel back.
Olajuwon Tucker got some work at outside linebacker, as did Jordan Iosefa, who's spent a lot of time in fall practice at middle linebacker. Iosefa and Quinton Powell worked with the first-team defense in a 7-on-7 vs. the scout team. McQuay had a pick-6 and a pass break-up in this period.
Highlights from 11-on-11:
Sam Darnold connects with Adoree' Jackson for a long TD.
Connor Murphy bats down a 2-point try.
Darnold hits JuJu on a 30-yard throw.
Darnold finds Steve Mitchell for a first down.
Darnod goes back to JuJu for a long gain.
Darnold, facing pressure from Iosefa, hits De'Quan Hampton outside.
Darnold hits Tyler Petite deep middle.
***
Stevie Tu'ikolovatu sacks Browne.
Browne hits Velus Jones for a first down.
Browne scrambles for a long gain.

It was anther day featuring a lot of individuals and scout team periods. AD Lynn Swann arrived about halfway through and met one-on-one with Helton for about five minutes. As you would imagine, he doesn't seem particularly happy these days. He did tell me he would be in Salt Lake City this weekend.
Coming later: They Said It with Adoree', LB Cam Smith and DC Clancy Pendergast and Video Interviews with Adoree' and NT Stevie Tu'ikolovatu.
