Tomorrow @ Noon. Eastern Washington vs Northern Colorado at Nottingham Field. Quarterbacks Peter Costelli, Kia'i Keone and Jonah Chong all prepared to play. Running backs Darius Stewart, David Afari, Caden Meis, Jacquez Robertson, Vann Schield (healthy again) and Jordan Hornbeak ready to run in the rain and cold. The offensive line has gone through ups and downs this season. Great to see OT Aiden Moe at practice recently. He'll return next season as he's on the road to recovery. Levi Johnson has played extremely well at left tackle. LB Keenan Guthrie continues to fly around and play hard. DE Ezra Ekuban tends to make big tackles in cold and snowy conditions. He'll have another opportunity tomorrow.
UPDATE: Winter conditioning and spring football can sometimes be a grind so Carson Keach had a little fun last week following an interception. The sophomore from Ponderosa HS in Parker, CO executed his best cartwheel downfield after picking off a pass. Two more weeks of spring football remain for the UNC Bears.

UPDATE: Redshirt Jr. Rocco Traore enters his fourth season with the UNC Bears football program. However, this is his first month playing running back at the college level. He was a great running back in high school in the Seattle area but was more valuable as a defensive back in Greeley the past three years. He's seen a lot during his time with the Bears including teammates leaving like Carver Cheeks and Noah Mangham did last week. Rocco takes it all in stride.

Good Morning: Happy Easter! One of the spiritual leaders on the UNC Bears team is R-Jr. LB Jordan Davis (32) who always has a smile on his face and puts team first. He was a star at Cherokee Trail HS in Aurora and his dad played running back at Kansas with the Jayhawks in the late 90s. Davis is one of those guys you have to have in order to enjoy success in college football.
