WR Mike Crabtree, a unanimous consensus All-American, doesn't show any signs of having a sophomore slump after his breakout season as a redshirt freshman. Crabtree has looked good thus far, and fittingly, caught the first touchdown pass of the spring game.

RB Shannon Woods had a good spring, though the battle for the starting spot remains uncertain heading into fall camp. What may separate Woods from the other three, though, is his blocking. Leach depends on his running backs to block when defenses try to blitz Tech's pass-happy offense. Leach emphasizes blocking as much as running from his backfield.

SPRING MOVERS

WR Detron Lewis -- With the departure of senior Danny Amendola, Lewis could be a leading candidate to catch passes with teams expected to put plenty of emphasis on Mike Crabtree. Lewis led the team in the spring game with seven catches for 93 yards.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We have so much talent it's ridiculous, and then we have so much depth behind everybody who's starting. ... We play with a lot more confidence, and when you have a lot more confidence you can play a lot more excited." - Safety Daniel Charbonnet, talking about the talent and excitement of the defense.
