Kenny Tate's pre-game routine

In eighth grade, Kenny Tate hadn't eaten enough before leaving for a game. His mom fixed him a couple jelly sandwiches as a pre-game meal.

Next Thursday, before taking the field at Virginia Tech, the Maryland safety will have two jelly sandwiches.

It seems he played well in that middle-school game years ago, and he never wanted to break the routine.

Says Tate: "I usually will make them at the hotel. The jelly is like a little burst of sweet energy."

Jeff, I hope I didnt miss it, but has the decision been made to keep Tate at Safety or move him back to WR next season? What does he want to do? Is he happy being moved to Safety?

Better than Steve Suter and D'Qwell Jackson's pregame vomiting routine.
