Aug. 6—GRAND FORKS — The UND football team wore full pads and brought in local officials on Thursday morning as the Fighting Hawks went through fall camp Day 8.
Here are five observations from practice.
Although the offense has had the better of the defense the last few days, UND's true freshmen defensive tackles — twins Mason Beaver and Isaac Beaver of Kearney, Mo. — have shown a knack for getting into the backfield.
Early during live hitting, Mason brought down UND hard-nosed running back Griffin Broderick. Later, Isaac had a five-play stretch in which he was in the backfield twice — the second time he flushed quarterback Jack Sulik for what might have been a quarterback sack.
UND has shown at fall camp it's planning to start Logyn Eckheart and Albany transfer Kylyn Macklin at tackle, but the Beaver twins are pushing the next mix along with Eastern Illinois transfer Kefa Pereira (6-1, 305) and Tyler Henry.
