Whipping it up
Redshirt freshman Mychal Salahuddin said sitting behind four running backs last season — Davis, Sibley and now-departed 1,000-yard rushers Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall — taught him some lessons.
Salahuddin also had to sit out the Sun Bowl with a knee injury, and coaches started camp by being cautious with him.
“It’s not eating me,” Salahuddin said. “I’m just trying to get mental reps, so when I do get my opportunity, I can make the best of it.
“Being humble is something I’d like to do well at.”
He said he likes the different plays first-year offensive coordinator Mark Whipple is drawing up and the atmosphere he has created.
“He’s got something cooking every day. I tell him, ‘Whip it up, coach.’ “
Whipple’s experience in the NFL is rubbing on his players, Salahuddin said.
“We have to be on the professional mindset. Details have to be straight,” he said. “We have to carry ourselves like professionals.”
I hope nobody at Heinz thinks it's a good idea to play Devo when the O is on the field......
