11-on-11 Rundown

Wilkins: Richard was handed the ball for the first three plays, as he sliced through defenders and gained about five yards on his first run. He then managed to break into the open field through the defense for about six yards, but was stopped by a whistle to begin the next play. Richard was finally stopped about a yard in front of the line of scrimmage on his last run. Ballage then took a screen pass and juked out a defender, as he saw nothing but the end zone in front of him but was halted by a whistle. Harvey received a short pass at about the line of scrimmage where he was immediately stopped by a defender.

Barnett: Smith carried the ball for three yards before he was stopped. Humphrey then caught a screen pass where he bolted for about six yards. Then, Barnett dropped back and launched about a 25-yard long ball to 5-foot-8 senior running back Jacom Brimhall who caught it and raced down the field untouched into the end zone. Barnett ran the ball for the next play to the right side of the field for about six yards before he was touched. On his last play, Barnett unloaded again, but this time to Humphrey. The pass was well defended by Paul Lucas and fell incomplete.
