Prior to the North Team practice, much of the buzz surrounded the quarterback trio of North Carolina State’s Mike Glennon, Ryan Nassib of Syracuse, and Miami Ohio’s Zac Dysert.  Unfortunately, none of the three really impressed.  Glennon, who measured in at nearly 6’7 inches tall earlier in the day, had the strongest arm of the three and was the most consistent.  But all three struggled at times, throwing the ball behind receivers, sailing throws high, and getting intercepted.  Dysert threw two bad picks along the sideline that both could have been returned for a touchdown.  Nassib was intercepted by Boise State cornerback Jamar Taylor on a deep pass intended for Marshall wide receiver Aaron Dobson, and followed that up by throwing a complete pass that forced Oregon State’s Markus Wheaton to reach back for the ball.  Toward the end of practice the three took turns rolling left and throwing to the back of the end zone while on the move.  All three made some nice throws during the drill, but Dysert – who looked good while throwing on the run during his college career – punctuated a rough afternoon by tripping over his own feet and falling to the turf.  Now that the nerves are out of the way, the quarterbacks will look to have a better day tomorrow.
