Hasn't high school football started in some places already? I thought I saw a picture of a game in Utah of all places.
In any event, teams are practicing in locales where all sports were not preemptively cancelled for the fall.

ND just completely outclassed us last year...having said that, I have no idea what the effect will be of having a new offensive coordinator (badly needed), new QB (badly needed) and new OL coach (ditto)...sure can't hurt. Will it be enough to
make us competitive? I haven't the foggiest...also wondering about the effect of having a new Wr coach last year...he was highly touted, but our passing game (and I use the term loosely) was so disjointed that I just couldn't tell if he had much of an impact...
For sure, I like (probably more than Cut does) starting the season with a real, solid opponent, vs. NCCU or other cupcakes...we ought to be up for the game, no excuses, let's see what we've got.
Yeah, should we beat ND, we're probably in for a solid season, but it was men vs. boys last year, not sure we can close that gap...
Lots of unknowns for sure. It seems the WR position went through a talent dip for a few years. Aaron Young was never healthy, Scott Bracey was practically invisible for four years, no one could create separation...
Perhaps this current group represents a talent spike, perhaps I’m guilty of wishful thinking.
As far as whether or not games are played goes, time will tell. Three weeks until kickoff in South Bend.

This one is from a couple days ago. Jim Sumner on Cornerbacks Coach Chris Hampton:

This comment by Josh Blackwell stands out:
And this:Coach Hampton . . . . brings a lot more technical coaching. He’s very hands on with us. I like the guy a lot. He’s very smart, very tangible. He’s instilling what a cornerback can be, both in the ACC and at the next level.
Hampton confirmed that Mark Gilbert is practicing at a high level, as if he had never been injured.
