Aug 19th Saturday Scrimmage Notes

An interesting post-scrimmage press conference from Herman:

• The defense is ahead of the offense - they keep winning scrimmages
• On QB “We’re not dynamic but we’re good enough to win.”
• Several players are sleeping in Moncrief to maximize nap time
• Both freshman RBs will play, but they’re “lost in the weeds” - issues mainly around pass protection and ball security
• RT is a rotation between Nickelson and Okafor
• McCulloch and Hager are good pass rushers and he’s excited to turn them loose on 3rd down, but they aren’t playing as well against the run
• Eric Cuffee had a nice INT before getting an injury
• Expect less 1s vs 1s going forward with Maryland 14 days away
• Defensive physicality has impressed him vs. the Spring. Running and tackling has improved
