Defense dominated scrimmage today...

Again. Good to hear about, considering UW replaced Fletch, Givens, Stover, and Unrein. Offense, from what I was told, just didn't get it clicking. And also, it seemed even more evident, that our D knows what to expect, and what is coming their direction. More details to follow later.

2nd bad scrimmage for the offense. I'm officially pushing the panic button.

Why? We're still 2 weeks away from our first game. We're playing our own defense who for the most part knows what's coming. We can panic if (knock on wood) Southern Utah's D shuts us down.

The practice stats weren't bad. It is good our defense is kicking the offenses' butt at this time during the year. However, I saw where ACS completed over 65% of his throws and some newcomer WR had some nice yardage. Plus, I think the whistle blew everytime a QB was touched. We all know from last year that ACS doesn't go down easy when only touched.

No need to panic at all.

Go Pokes!
 
I didn't make it to the scrimmage today unfortunately.

This article seems to cover much of the scrimmage:

Okay, so after seeing how they score for the "O" and "D", I'm finally understanding, that our "O" isn't that bad. The way you score in these scrimmages is meant to build the "O" up. Let's face it, the "D" scores on basically every play. The "O" get's points for td's, fg's, pat's, two point convers. 1 point for a play exceeding 20 yards and 1 point for a first down.
The points are stacked for the "D". "12!" points for an int or fumb rec for td, 5 points for int or fumb recovery, 3 points for forcing a punt, blocking a fg, stopping the "O" on 4th down on "O" side of field. 2 points for safety, QB sack (just touch the QB), stopping the "O" on opposing side of 50 on 4th down or stopping a s point convers. 1 point for forcing a missed fg (or if it's just missed by the kicker), tackle for loss, blocking pat, holding "O to a fg when possession in the red zone. "STACKED! Basically if your on defense and you breath you get a point. The "O" has to strive to catch up and to basically have a shoot out with the defense by creating amazing long gains or getting td's. Seeing that we scored 33 and 36 points in our scrimmages isn't really bringing a panic to me. Do I see room for improvement? Definitely. But, how we're playing now is looking WAY better than last year. Look for an improved "O".
