I apologize for not having a more thorough report tonight, but here are some quick notes from the scrimmage:
- The team used this scrimmmage to practice what it's like to prepare for a real game - meaning they did they're real pregame routine, practiced getting on and off the field, etc.
- D.J. Boldin had the catch of the night (no surprise there) with a one handed leaping grab. Might even be the best catch of the preseason.
- Devon "Y'lou" Brown got hit incredibly hard and took a minute before getting up. Appeared to be fine, however.
- C.J. Washington ran well, but was hit hard several times and didn't return after the final hit.
- Brandon Pendergrass had a 10 yard touchdown run, and Josh Adams also ran well.
- Riley Skinner went through pregame warm-ups, but didn't actually participate in the scrimmage. Coach Grobe said afterwards that he tweaked a hammy in the weight room. Brett Hodges took all the first team snaps. This shouldn't be any cause for concern, it was precautionary and he should be fine.
- We talked yesterday about Dennis Godfry's move to the offensive line, but he didn't get a whole lot of snaps in the scrimmage. Only a handful in the last few posessions with true freshman/3rd string line. He just moved yesterday, so it makes some sense, but I'm guessing it's somewhat frustrating for him.
