Quarterback Joe Critchlow, offense and the rain rule the day at BYU’s final spring scrimmage

Provo • Jeff Grimes stayed dry Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium because he opted to call plays from the press box as rained poured down for the second straight year at BYU’s spring scrimmage.

Then the new offensive coordinator threw a bit of a wet blanket on the offense’s performance, which was considerably better than the defense’s outing in the simulated game that featured roughly 70 plays and a few intermittent field goal attempts in front of an announced crowd of 7,500.

“I thought it was OK,” Grimes said. “The thing I was most pleased with was we didn’t turn the ball over, which was a real positive and will always be one of our top goals.
