Attended the scrimmage at Goodman today. Several starters were on the sideline, though none appeared to have serious injuries that should keep them out for any great length. The scrimmage was actually broken down into various segments--live placekicking, punt and kickoff, coming out from the 25, goalline situations, etc.
Some very promising youngsters got some exposure. Freshman kicker Leo of Souderton, PA showed a very strong leg. Made several 42 yard fg's with plenty of room to spare. In fact, his extra pts were close to landing on the plaza on top of the horseshoe--the only kicker who I've ever seen put balls up there was Scott Christie when William & Mary visited back in the 1980's. I think he will be pushing Musiek quite hard.
Borda looked very comfortable. The interesting observation was who played at #2 QB--Sedale Threatt. Extremely athletic and a strong arm. The option becomes another weapon when he's in there. He was followed by Marshall and Probst.
Rath looked very healthy and ran hard at TB. The wideouts showed their explosive potential. Couple long bombs that just missed Walker and Porter, but they, as well as Kovacs and Zeblium showed good moves and 'verticality' after the catch. The O line did a credible job giving the QB's sufficient time.
On D, Morgan is back in the middle at tackle with was a welcome sight. The unit performed well, with some spirited hitting.
Maggs and Morelli split time at TE and punter Josh Mann had a number of boomers, including a 60 yarder on 'coming out of the endzone' sequence. The scrimmage showed good energy and I left with a very positive feeling about the upcoming season. Will be interesting to see how things progress next Saturday night.
