Jackson State: Harold Jackson disappointed with offense production

“I was very disappointed with the offense,”Jackson said after the first unit offense was only able to find the end zone once in Saturday’s scrimmage. “Anytime we go out onto the field I want us to be competitive.

Florida A&M: Carson Royal plays well in first action

Royal threw five touchdown passes in FAMU’s scrimmage Saturday after getting off to a slow start.

“It started off kind of slow,” Royal told the Tallahassee Democrat. “I don’t think the guys we really in the mindset to come out here. It was our second practice of the day. We got rolling and we got things moving. We started working together more and everything fell into place.”

Savannah State: A lot of teaching to do after scrimmage

The Tigers have 69 underclassmen on the 2015 team, and head coach Earnest Wilson III understands every practice, including Saturday’s scrimmage, will be key to developing a young team.

“We’re moving forward and need a lot of repetitions for all of the young players that will be playing Division I football for the first time,” said Wilson. “We have over 40 freshmen, 29 sophomores and only seven seniors on the team this year. We have a lot of teaching to do,” Wilson added.

Morgan State: Defense ‘fast and aggressive’

Head coach Lee Hull has been impressed with new defensive coordinator Mike Fanoga throughout fall camp. The unit continued to play well during Saturday’s scrimmage.

“Coach [Fanoga] has them playing with more confidence,“Hull said. “We have a fast and aggressive defense and they will only get better.”

Norfolk State: Defense doesn’t miss a beat

The Spartans’ defense – which head coach Latrell Scott described as being slightly ahead of the offense to begin camp – held the Spartan offense off the board for the first half of the scrimmage. Highlights for the defense included an interception by senior cornerback D’Metrius Williams and a two-drive span that included sacks by linebackers Jay Anderson and Raynard Revels and another by nose guard Shawn Fauntleroy Jr.

“We had a lot of penalties early that slowed our offense down. We can’t put ourselves in 1st-and-20, 2nd-and-20 situations,” Scott said. “Our defense made some big plays early, too, but our offense bounced back nicely.”

South Carolina State: Too early to tell

“It was the first scrimmage and you can see some potential there but it’s still too early to tell at this point,” said head coach Buddy Pough.

“We have a lot of players that can do certain things, which will be important for us moving forward, “said Pough. “The fact that of the matter is we have to build some continuity and get all the right components in place to get things going.”
