Spring Day 14 Wrap-Ups

Stephen Tsai profiles Malcolm Lane, and highlights his TD catch in practice yesterday.

Lane, aligned on the right side, was given a "choice route," in which he had the option of running a post pattern or a fade route along the right sideline. The Mauka team was in a two-deep zone, with cornerback Tank Hopkins in tight coverage and safety Mana Silva assigned to Lane's half of the field.

"On that type of play — a cover-2 — I have to set the corner, then fade up the sideline," Lane said.

It was a coverage Lane, who is averaging 17.0 yards per catch in his UH career, has seen often. The wideout's decision is influenced by the cornerback's move. If Hopkins leans one way, Lane goes the other.

Hopkins shaded to Lane's right, and Lane broke to the left. As Hopkins tried to follow, Lane cut back to the right. Rausch delivered a spiral between Hopkins and the on-charging Silva.

"It was a tight spot to throw it," Rausch said. "Malcolm made it happen. Malcolm has the most experience (among the wideouts), and it definitely paid off on that."

Tsai also has notes about the backup QBs and tomorrow's Junior Day.
