The season’s first scrimmage was held Wednesday; Tom O’Brien was unmoved.

The highlights:

  • Lots of penalties
  • Toney Baker did not participate, despite being “100%”. Brown and Eugene didn’t do much, Underwood had the most carries: 12 for 57 yards.
  • The O-line mostly sucked.
  • Czajkowski was 4-4. All four kicks were from at least 32 yards out; his long was 44.
  • Glennon took the most snaps and was 9-13 with 101 yards and one interception.

No word yet on who was on the field when. That is, I don’t if these numbers were against the first or second team.

More news from Blogopotamia:

  • Speedy defensive back Dean Haynes of Georgia’s Northwest Whitfield has verbally committed. He’s listed as a 2-star by Rivals and a 3-star by Scout. Via Ken Tysiac:

    “He’s just got a good knack for the football,” said Northwest Whitfield defensive backs coach Steve Summers. “He’s got great feet, a really good understanding of the game and what people are trying to do.”

  • Brian Williams may be making the move to strong safety.
  • A.J. Davis picked up an interception in a scrimmage against the Browns third-string defense.
  • Brian Clark is doing his best to win a spot with his hometown Bucs.
  • Jerricho Cotchery may catch a few more touchdowns this season.
