My Cougar Saturday: Kelly Skipper, assistant coach

“The first thing we do is eat breakfast.

“I think the wake-up will be 9 – the only thing about this trip is, everything is adjusted because we stay in Eugene. So, I wake up, shower up, dress and have breakfast with the team. I meet after that, go over some of the game-plan stuff with the running backs, see if they have any questions. … After a walkthrough, we get on the buses and go. … We get to the stadium, I usually get dressed and hang out to myself and think – different things that might happen out there, what will happen on the sideline. … I’ll go out early and watch their kickers, see any little tips they might be giving off on how they’re approaching the ball, see how far they’re kicking it. I check the operation time from the snap to the holders, the punters, same thing. … I’m looking if they’re real slow, to see if we might get a block. … (After the game) I like to at least soak it in a little bit. On the way, on the bus I start thinking about the next game. But I like to put that one to bed.”
