MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Saturday marked the first scrimmage of the 2021 Blue Raider fall camp, and the early results from Floyd Stadium saw high marks for the defense.
The defense forced four turnovers during the scrimmage: an interception by Reed Blankenship and fumble recoveries by Blankenship, Raquon Hartley and Tra Fluellen. Seven Blue Raiders combined for eight pass breakups, and the front seven recorded at least six sacks, with defensive coordinator Scott Shafer saying that his count has the team with eight or nine.
"I thought the defense dominated today, " head coach Rick Stockstill said after the scrimmage.
