This is the 4th and final installment in the Spring Practice Podcast series from the final practice on April 26th.

I attended Spring Practice on Wednesday April 16th. I just now got around to editing together my On The Road Home Podcast, but it was recorded on the car ride home. I’ve also got audio from post-practice interviews with Tedford and Shane Vereen is who was out of the redshirt for the first time on Wednesday.

As for errors in the podcast, I was mostly error free this time. There were a couple moments when I said 4-3 for the defensive formation when I meant 3-4 (but not the other way around). It didn’t affect the overall commentary’s accuracy however.

Here is a list of the audio quote topics:

1. Tedford on practice intensity
2. Tedford on Vereen being back
3. Tedford on Vereen’s improvements
4. Tedford on DeBoskie coming early
5. Tedford on protection breakdowns
6. Tedford on challenge of losing seniors
7. Tedford on secondary play
8. Vereen on injury
9. Vereen on hardest part of coming back
10. Vereen on things to learn
11. Vereen on strongest part of game
12. Vereen on changes from last year
13. Vereen on depth chart
14. Vereen on frustration of injury
15. Vereen on going all out

I attended Spring Practice on 4/9. (As a reminder to all, Spring Practice is closed to the public (except for the open practice on Saturday 4/12) and is only available to invited media/guests.) Here is my “On The Road Home” podcast for that event.

I made one notable error in the podcast: Boskovich is a offensive lineman, the starting left guard specifically, not a defensive end. That’s the penalty for doing these podcasts from memory in the car as opposed to from prepared text/notes at home.

Note that the podcast includes interview audio from Tedford and redshirt Freshman QB Brock Mansion. Here is a list of their quote topics:

1. Tedford on Improvements on Defense
2. Tedford on Longshore’s Injury
3. Tedford on injuries (Mohommad, Vareen, Follett, DJ Holt)
4. Tedford on TE Tad Smith
5. Tedford on Brock Manson
6. Mansion on taking snaps
