The Golden Rams' second spring scrimmage was certainly more crisp than the first. A lot of progress was achieved in just one week. With incumbent running back Rondell White already a well-known entity, red-shirt freshman Brandon Monk and transfers Chris Smallwood and James Rosseau got a bulk of the carries. All had success which is likely due to an offensive line that is getting used to working together. This stable of capable ball carriers will challenge the coaching staff in how to use all of them effectively in what should be an improved running game in 2012.
The defense gave the quarterbacks very little room to find receivers. It's not clear whether this was from the linebackers and defensive backs being more experienced from last season, the new defensive alignment, or the fact that they are quite familiar with the offense that West Chester runs, but there were several interceptions and many more passes that could have been picked off.
The spring game is scheduled for Thursday, April 19 at 6:00 pm in Farrell Stadium. As Coach Zwaan mentioned in his spring letter, Barnaby’s will donate a percentage of their night’s receipts to the WCU football program, so stop by for pre- and post-game refreshments.
