Utica College head football coach Blaise Faggiano will also be hosting a pair of Technique ‘N’ the Trenches (T-N-T) Football Camps. These camps are strictly focused on the offensive and defensive linemen positions. New this year will be an overnight T-N-T camp hosted by Utica College in Utica, NY on July10th and 11th.

The staff, which includes former Buffalo Bill’s offensive line coach Jim “Moose” McNally, will emphasize the fundamentals of balance, leverage, and power as they relate to offensive and defensive line play. Drills will promote competition as well as improvement of basic line techniques. The techniques covered will include run and pass blocking, stance and start, pass rush, and ways to defeat various offensive blocking schemes.
