All week long the big news has been the QB position, but the team itself has a lot of work to do across the board.
The QB's did come out firing:

One QB's accomplished brother is clearly psyched:
Taking my son down to Miami to see spring game and @KOlsen19 start next great era at Miami.
— Greg Olsen (@gregolsen82) April 10, 2014
But Olsen is guaranteed a starting spot just yet, injured Ryan Williams could even return sooner than most expected:
Oh. RT @JDotLeezy: Well then RT @CollegeGameDay: Canes QB Ryan Williams eyes a Sept. 20th return vs Nebraska: http://t.co/0ikR3Xq7IV

And not all of the passes were sharp today, apparently:
Olsen/Crow throwing picks (and, apparently, lots of them) in practice today? Just further shows the fact they're not up to speed YET.

And this.........
Artie Burns picks off Olsen. Just a bad pass. #UM

But still some good......
#Canes QB Kevin Olsen connected with Rashawn Scott on a 45-yard TD pass. Beautiful touch on it

In non QB news, a surprisingly low # of defensive players wore black jerseys today, usually reserved for top performers:
On the last day of camp as "Back in Black" plays, only 3 defensive players in black: Earl Moore, Dallas Crawford & Thurston Armbrister.

That's the big news from practice, more updates when they are available. Do not forget the big news for tonight as 3 'Canes will be inducted into the Miami Hall of Fame tonight.
