Fresno State had its first scrimmage of fall camp Tuesday and didn’t waste any time getting freshman running backs Ronnie Rivers and Jordan Mims involved. Both made plays running and catching the ball and continue to climb in a crowded position group.

In a live practice period before the scrimmage, Rivers reeled in a 34-yard pass from Chason Virgil. Mims in the scrimmage had a 50-yard touchdown catch and run, eluding a tackle by cornerback Jaron Bryant to get into the end zone.

Mims also had a 22-yard touchdown run.

“They’re doing really well,” coach Jeff Tedford said.
