Monday Practice Notes (p.m.)

Hakeem Nicks is essentially removing any drama surrounding whether he will play as a true freshman. He made a gorgeous grab Monday evening on a well-thrown ball from Cam Sexton in the red zone. The Nicks play came during a handful of periods that were very productive for the receivers. On the very next play, Joe Dailey hit Brandon Tate for a touchdown. Richard Quinn also hauled in a nice catch over the middle. Watching all the youngsters make plays apparently inspired Jesse Holley, who outjumped a defensive back for another touchdown catch.
