Anyone find it strange that scrimmage was first full tackle session

[texascpa]

of the season?

HCSS was quoted in one of the post-scrimmage articles as saying something to the effect that the scrimmage was the first time this summer that players tackled and at times it showed.

Now, there is a school of thought that full tackling should be very limited during practices and only unleashed during games. However, we have seen evidence with recent SU squads of poor tackling technique. Are we setting ourselves up for the same? Or it more appropriate to hold off on the hitting to minimize injuries?

We have three weeks until the first game. there will be tackling during this week's Fort Drum scrimmage, but I wonder how often HCSS is going to allow work on full tackling the rest of the way.

They need a certain amount of practices before they can have full contact. I'm assuming Saturday was that day.

Good point. Anyone know when that is?

17.10.2.3 Five-Day Acclimatization Period. [FBS/FCS]
In football, preseason practice shall begin with a five-day acclimatization period for both first-time participants (e.g., freshmen and transfers) and continuing student-athletes. All student-athletes, including walk-ons who arrive to preseason practice after the first day of practice, are required to undergo a five-day acclimatization period. The five-day acclimatization period shall be conducted as follows:

(a) In bowl subdivision football, institutions may not conduct administrative activities (e.g., team pictures,
etc.) other than those permitted prior to or on the academic orientation day (e.g., compliance-related
activities, medical examinations, individual photographs) prior to the first permissible date of practice. In
championship subdivision football, institutions may not conduct administrative activities (e.g., team pictures,
individual photographs) other than compliance-related activities and medical examinations prior
to the first permissible date of practice. Conditioning, speed, strength or agility tests may not occur on
any day prior to the start of the five-day acclimatization period.

(b) During the five-day period, participants shall not engage in more than one on-field practice per day, not
to exceed three hours in length.
(1) Exception—During the five-day acclimatization period, an institution has the option of conducting
one on-field practice per day, not to exceed three hours in length, or one on-field testing session
(speed, conditioning or agility tests) per day, not to exceed one hour in length and one on-field
practice, not to exceed two hours in length. In addition, an institution may conduct one one-hour
walk-through session per day of the acclimatization period, provided protective equipment (e.g.,
helmets, shoulder pads) is not worn, equipment related to football (e.g., footballs, blocking sleds) is
not used and conditioning activities do not occur. Student-athletes must be provided with at least
three continuous hours of recovery time between any sessions (testing, practice or walk-through) occurring
that day. During this time, student-athletes may not attend any meetings or engage in other
athletically related activities (e.g., weight lifting); however, time spent receiving medical treatment
and eating meals may be included as part of the recovery time. If an institution conducts only a walkthrough
on a particular day during the acclimatization period, that day does not count toward the
required five days of acclimatization, but the walk-through counts toward the limit of 29 on-field
practices for the preseason practice period.
(c) First-time participants and continuing students shall not be required to practice separately.
(d) During the first two days of the acclimatization period, helmets shall be the only piece of protective equipment student-athletes may wear. During the third and fourth days of the acclimatization period, helmets and shoulder pads shall be the only pieces of protective equipment student-athletes may wear. During the final day of the five-day period and on any days thereafter, student-athletes may practice in full pads.

17.10.2.4 Preseason Activities After Five-Day Acclimatization Period. [FBS/FCS]
The remaining preseason practice period shall be conducted as follows:
(a) After the five-day period, institutions may practice in full pads. However, an institution may not conduct
multiple on-field practice sessions (e.g., two-a-days or three-a-days) on consecutive days;
(b) Student-athletes shall not engage in more than three hours of on-field practice activities on those days
during which one practice is permitted;
(c) Student-athletes shall not engage in more than five hours of on-field practice activities on those days during which more than one practice is permitted; and
(d) Student-athletes must be provided with at least three continuous hours of recovery time between any two
sessions (e.g., practices, walk-throughs). During this time, student-athletes may not engage in physical
athletically related activities (e.g., weight lifting). Time spent in team meetings, film review, receiving
medical treatment and eating meals may be included as part of the recovery time.
17.10.2.4.1 Exception—“Walk-Throughs.” [FBS/FCS]
During the preseason practice period onlyan d after the five-day acclimatization period, a walk-through is not considered to be an on-field activity for purposes of the limits on the number of practice sessions per day or the limits on the number of hours of on-field practice activities, provided protective equipment (e.g., helmets, shoulder pads) is not worn, equipment related to football (e.g., footballs, blocking sleds) is not used and conditioning activities do not occur. If a walk-through is conducted on a day in which no other on-field activities occur, the walk-through must be included in the limit of 29 on-field practices for the preseason practice period.
