Odds and ends

At quarterbac­k, Jackson

Tyner ran the first-team offense, Sam Glaesmann operated the second-team unit, and

Shawn Stankavage and Evan Marshman largely split thirdteam duties. Tyner looked solid, steadily moving the offense up the field for a Giovanni

Gentosi score on the opening drive. Glaesmann’s performanc­e left something to be desired, partially because he was flushed out of the pocket so often —something that could be a consequenc­e of the relative depth on the offensive and defensive lines. He was ‘”sacked” at least three times. …

Based on Monday’s scrimmage and the practices that preceded it, the starting offensive line could be solidifyin­g. From left to right, Uzoma Osuji, Jack Greene, Shea Baker, Joseph Dill and Sam Pierce may constitute the starting front. Players such as Florida-transfer Andrew Mike, Cole Elms and Corbin Smith saw action with the second team. …

While special-teams coordinato­r Pete Lembo continues to weigh his options at placekicke­r, punter may be a position where the Owls are spoiled for choice. Preseason All CUSA selection Jack Fox spent a portion of Monday’s practice casually bombing 50-yard punts downfield. The Woodlands product Chris Barnes also looked impressive, regularly launching the ball from the 10-yard line past midfield during drills.
