Again, the coaches stressed yesterday that they expect to answer several questions today as they get their first live look at the squad after a week of training camp under their belts.

Expect a big day from Seth Doege after a solid week of practice. Also, several freshmen look to make a statement including Ronnie Daniels and Blake Dees.

Keep it locked here for updates throughout the scrimmage.

UPDATE:
Seth Doege is taking snaps in pre-game drills with the first-team offense. He has looked good during practice, receiving daily praise from both his coaches and teammates. However, Doege has repeatedly reminded the media that the quarterback job is still open between himself and Jacob Karam.

Today, against a live defense, Doege will get his chance to separate himself, while Karam will have the opportunity to make a statement.

We have been told that between 120-150 snaps are planned today between three groups.

Kickoff is now under ten minutes away here at Jones AT&T Stadium.
