DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Bryan J. Harvey has a short recap of Saturday's scrimmage. Nolan Alexander has interviews with Kevin Thompson and  Head Coach Terry Sims. Jasmine Alston has social media under control throughout Chaos. Coverage-wise, you Bethune-Cookman fans should be good.
 
Not much I can add, except to remind you to purchase your season tickets if you haven't done so already. But do you really want a tell-tale stat? Something that's going to give you an advantage in your trash talk sessions and your pre-season analysis?
 
Step right up.
 
The number of Wildcats who cramped up Saturday morning: One.
 
Do you get that kind of intel from Paul Finebaum and Phil Steele? I think not. You're welcome.

Yes, we'll leave how many picks the quarterbacks threw in practices [For the record: None], or how many reps so-and-so from the second team is getting with the first team to the other alleged experts. Stuff like what's in the fourth paragraph can and will make the difference since us Florida types are stupid enough to play baseball in freezing winter and football in the scorching latter days of summer. We open in Miami at 12:30 p.m., for crying out loud.
 
On any given August Saturday, there usually are eight to 10 players under the training tents recovering. Only one had problems this humid morning, and that was near the end of a two-hour practice session that was preceded by that ritual called Chaos we don't discus with outsiders.
 
Corliss Fingers, our Director of Strength and Conditioning, did a little dance when told her stat line from Saturday, celebrating it like offensive line coach Lawal McCray would a stat sheet that had no sacks allowed.
 
"And you know what – that one player only came to three workouts all of Summer A and Summer B," Fingers exhorted.
 
This could be taken as the obligatory "give due credit to someone behind the scenes" piece, but whatever Fingers has concocted is working and everyone – sans one – has bought in.
 
"I don't think you can put a price tag on it," Sims said of Fingers' contribution. "She does an amazing job mentally and physically with these guys that I have not seen in programs I've been involved with. Our players have a regiment they would not receive anywhere else. It's showing at the end of practice when our guys are still ready to go. It speaks volumes."
 
All summer, Fingers has led all Wildcats teams in volunteer workout programs. Last year's spring and summer were neither well-attended nor as productive as she'd like, and that "left a bad taste in our mouth."
 
So, with a theme that starts with two words that can't be repeated on a United Methodist Church school website, Fingers has pushed the team, including a series of early morning workouts that not only have long-range benefits for the student-athletes, are doing amazing numbers on social media.
 
"We're going to work; we're going to drive; we're going to grind…push hard and outwork our opponents," Fingers said. "We'll be prepared for the fourth quarter; we'll be prepared for overtime. This is the most intense summer program I've had in my 24-year career. We used the beach a lot more than ever because I wanted their feet to sink in the sand, and they'd have to drive out of it. It transferred out here to the field."
 
There's a hydration system on the practice field that rivals South Central Louisiana State – it took that long to drop a Waterboy reference. Sorry. But Fingers admits she gets "bored" at practice because she and Director of Sports Medicine Scott Armstrong haven't been needed as much this season (fingers crossed – no pun intended).
 
"Corliss' work has paid off," Armstrong said. "Everyone showed up. It's just like on the field. Someone has to come up with a plan and someone has to execute it."
