Did anyone see the scrimmage?

How's they look? Highlights? Are we running a new offenive scheme this year under Coach U?

I did get to see the scrimmage, although it was shortened by rain. Since I am not yet familiar with personnel, I can only offer some general observations. The offense was varied and included some options (Coach U loves the option), some play action passes and some misdirection running plays. They had their moments as they hit one deep ball and broke a few runs. Each QB had his moments (good and bad) and I'm guessing that the final decision will be a close one. There were the expected mistakes and blown assignments, but with two more weeks to get ready, I am encouraged.

The defense also made some plays and only allowed a couple of sustained drives. The hitting and pursuit by the 'D' was encouraging. The kicker hit both field goal attempts--one from about 45 yards.

I wish I knew the personnel, but there were no rosters available and this is my first look at these young men.

Thanks for the report, LBP - any news is better than no news (in this case, anyway).
