Running back Chris Taylor enters his last preseason camp as a Hoosier. In 2004, Taylor played in all 11 games and finished the season with 329 yards on 82 carries. In the backfield for the past two years, Taylor has averaged 4.0 yards per carry.
Taylor is keeping an online journal on IUHOOSIERS.com of preseason camp. Below is his first entry after Monday morning's practice:
Overall, today's practice was a good one. There was a lot of intensity out there. We started out with stretching. It's important to get a good stretch in, especially on days like today. Then the offense met and went over screens that we will use in the goal line drill later in the day.
We moved on to the team versus the offense drill, and there was a lot of intensity in that drill too. Both sides were battling out there. The defense did really well today, and the offense needs to get a little better. We weren't executing like we should have been and making the plays.
I love coming out here with all this enthusiasm and intensity. The offense scored on the first play and the defense turned around and stopped us on the next.
I think the coaches were happy with today, but as a competitor, you always feel like you can do better. We are going to come back out here this afternoon and have an even better practice. We can't settle for anything less.
