Offense

Running backs Salahadin Allah and Cornell Hatcher highlighted the group today, the latter with the lone touchdown of the scrimmage. The touchdown came from a simple zone trap scheme from about five yards out where Hatcher spun off one defender, diving into the endzone for six.

Max Walker and AJ Winsor initially struggled to punt the ball down the field in the elements and wind today, but as the conditions cleared, they found much more consistent success in their punts.

Caleb Ojeda was the only kicker who participated in practice today. He missed both field goal attempts of the day but converted on an extra point attempt.
