Howdy yall, it's your always trustworthy and truthful (wink mom and dad) Collegian football writer Andrew Wible coming at you live from a rather empty Beaver Stadium press box observing practice and the ensuing scrimmage. We'll give you play-by-play details of the scrimmage when it begins, for now, there's a lot of position and 6-on-6 drills.

Well the first-team offense found the end zone on its first two possessions against the second-team defense. But if the offense could be compared to ice cream, it'd be rather vanilla. A lot of runs and the patented Derrick Williams flare for four or five yards helped march the offense down the field. Evan Royster capped the opening drive with a 15-yard catch and run out of the backfield for the score. During the drive, Royster ran up the middle with toughness and looked solid. The offensive line was opening holes, but looking at the second-team O-line, which left Pat Devlin out to dry on a number of occasions, the hogs in the trenches better not get injured or there will be trouble.

Daryll Clark appears to have the lead in the quarterback battle. He was never asked to do too much, but looked confident in the pocket and had a command of the offense. Pat Devlin showed flashes of brilliance with some impressive passes in tight spaces, but was inconsistent on the day and didn't handle pressure well.

On the injury front, Sean Lee is on crutches on the sidelines with a brace on his right leg. He injured his knee during practice yesterday and a timetable on his return has not been set.

Evan Royster looked solid during the scrimmage today breaking a few 15-yard runs. Nothing flashy, but just solid, we may have another Tony Hunt-type back here in Happy Valley.

The first-team defense applied a decent amount of pressure and caused some havoc in the backfield. Stephfon Green didn't break off any electrifying runs, but did show some signs of tough, up-the-middle running that could make him a complete back.

Well, the team's running conditioning drills, and I'm sure you don't want a run-by-run blog of the team's suicides, so we're heading out.
