After Some Offensive Success, Defense Controls Most of Scrimmage

After the offense had some success early on, the defense buckled down and contained their opposition the rest of the way during Friday night's offense vs. defense scrimmage.

“Ones and twos offensively did real good stuff,” said Mario Cristobal about his first and second-team offense. “I think threes naturally you're going to have the defense be a little bit ahead. But I think ones and twos exchanged blows pretty well.”

Paul McCall started at quarterback and completed three of his five attempts for 15 yards. Wayne Younger then took over and went four for five for 50 yards, 29 of them coming on a completion over the middle to Elliot Dix. After that it was all defense.

Cody Pellicer picked up a couple of sacks, and Dezeriah Johnson added a sack of his own on a blindside corner blitz, Kambriel Willis finished with a sack and a half and Armond Willis had half a sack.

The defense kept controlling the pace of play up until the very last play when defensive lineman Joey Harris tipped a Chris Schirripa pass and linebacker Aaron Davis picked off the pass. Davis also forced a fumble earlier in the scrimmage.

For the offense, Kendall Berry and Trenard Turner each scored a touchdown on the ground. Both scores came when the offense started inside the defenses 20-yard line.
