College football: Bison prepare for autumn

By Shawn Wood
For The Daily Item

Among the big plays of the day was a 50-yard screen pass that went for a touchdown from freshman quarterback Burke Batten to sophomore wide receiver Marlon Woods.

Sophomore wide receiver Shaun Pasternak, whom Landis considers to be as good as any of the receivers in the conference, had several nice catches, including a touchdown reception in the overtime period.

The receiving corps received praise from Landis for their work on Saturday afternoon, including Mifflinburg graduate Levi Finsterbush, who is coming along after making the switch from defense to wideout.

"Levi had a very nice catch coming across the middle and he's blocked very well all spring and he's really improved his physical approach to the game," Landis noted. "He struggled a little bit early in camp with being consistent in catching the ball, but over the last four or five practices, he's really come on and become a complete receive. He'll be a really good No. 3 guy for us next year with Cale Cadman and Pasternak back as starters."

"It's been a little tough tying to adjust to the college receiving level," Finsterbush said. "I feel a lot more comfortable with my hands and route running."

Defensively, Landis was pleased with the way the unit put pressure on the quarterback.

"I thought the defense started to play better when we got into the drive sequence of the scrimmage and they came up with a big turnover in the red zone."
