jell

Purdue hasn’t been that serious of a threat through the air, but this should be a good chance for the secondary to jell together before other, more accomplished passers pop up on the schedule.

“The starting five right now is set. They’ve jelled very well in practice and I feel good about that.”

So far, the transfers have really jelled since arriving in the winter, according to coach Deshaun Foster.

On the field, however, the reunion hasn’t exactly jelled with the Quakes, who open their regular season Feb. 22 against Real Salt Lake, going winless against MLS competition in the preseason.

“The more pieces you add to a team, the harder it is. The fact that you can do a complete squad transformation and get everyone to jell, it’s very rare.”
