ESPN's Ted Miller Interviews Jeff Tedford

Tedford looks absolutely thrilled to take questions from Ted Miller.

But seriously, it's a fairly standard interview, and Tedford seems to have his Spring Practice rhetoric down pat at this point. There weren't any "no question about it"s, but Tedford reiterated some of the major points that he's shared with the media the past several weeks.



A quick summary:

- It's "night and day" when looking at Maynard's command and comfortability with the offense, and even Bridgford seems much more confident and capable this year. The coaching staff appear to be comfortable with either of the two QBs at the helm, though there seems to be little doubt with anyone that Maynard is the starting QB.


- The biggest defensive playmakers so far of the younger players seem to be Jason Gibson and Nick Forbes at the inside linebacker positions, Avery Sebastian in the secondary, and Moose Jalil and Deandre Coleman at the defensive line.

- Tedford anticipates needing at least three freshmen wide receivers to step up in the fall due to a lack of depth there. I'd put money down on Bryce Treggs and Darius Powe being at least two of them.

- The coaching staff seem to think they're got a nice four-deep at the RB. They know what Isi Sofele and CJ Anderson can do, but Brendon Bigelow finally seems healthy and Daniel Lasco has been nearly everyone's pick in being "the one to look out for."
