STILLWATER -- The Oklahoma State football team held its 11th practice of spring ball Wednesday at the Sherman E. Smith Training Facility. After practice, offensive line coach Greg Adkins shared his thoughts:
On Wednesday's practice:
"I think overall it was a good day. I think we got a little bit better. We had a couple situations that we've been emphasizing, obviously, with red zone and two minute, and I saw some progress there in those two areas offensively. Nine on seven; our inside run period, was a little down today, which disappointed me, because we've been doing pretty well there."
On if the offensive line has progressed where he wants them to be:
"No, not yet. I think they're still getting used to me and the way I coach and the way we approach things. Obviously, getting used to playing beside certain guys and that sort of thing. I think we still have a ways to go there, but I like the progress we've made."
On the depth chart on the offensive line:
"I think it's still wide open. I think there's a couple guys, probably, that at the end of the day we kind of know that they're going to be there. I'd like to look at some different combinations, but our overall depth hasn't allowed me to do that. We've only been working really with 10 guys in the spring. You look at guys maybe that's playing guard out at tackle for a period or something of that nature, or a center playing guard or a guard playing center, so just the lack of personnel overall has not allowed me to mix and match some of the things that I'd like to at least take a look at."
On what he wants the line to accomplish for the rest of the spring:
"I think just continue on the path that we're on, because I have seen progress in small increments. As long as they're still gaining the toughness of learning how to work on a daily basis, that's all I can ask for."
