Team News - 2015 Second Scrimmage Report

On a perfect evening for football, the Golden Rams held their second and final scrimmage of the 2015 season before approximately 200 fans. Overall and as expected, play was much improved from last week. Here are some general observations:
  • Just like last week, Pat Moriarty started the game with the first team offense, but Alec Werner played with the first unit as well. It's not clear if West Chester will merely have a well-prepared backup or if they're planning a two-headed quarterback.
  • Regardless of which QB was throwing, Tyler Karpinski was catching. The Temple transfer showed a knack for getting open, reliable hands and the speed to gain yards after the catch.
  • Left guard Vince Lostracco left the scrimmage with an apparent injury to his right knee and did not return.
  • Cornerback Blaise Schieler sat out and redshirt freshman Corey Kelley took his place.
  • Defensive end Byron Cooper did not play in last week's scrimmage, but looked very quick around the edge. His aggressiveness did draw at least one offside penalty however.
  • Mark Dukes ripped off another long touchdown run.
  • True freshman Quinten Cheyney stayed in pass coverage deep down the field and made a nice interception.
  • Redshirt freshman Mike Class showed he can get positive yards both running and receiving.
