Went to the URI scrimmage today. Paul-Etienne had hurt his left knee in a non-contact drill and was sat out with his knee wrapped in ice for precautionary measures. He will be ready for their first game. The 1st defensive unit was good against the run, but the URI offense had their way in the air. Not much of a pass rush. Steve Probst (Hofstra xfer) looked very good. Should Paul-Etienne go down, URI will be in good hands. Matt Damon will miss the first two games due to a fx in his foot. URI is expecting big things from Billy Morgan (Hofstra xfer) @ WR.
