First-year Oviedo coach Greg Odierno said after Friday night’s 40-28 kickoff classic victory over Lake Brantley that if no one knew who DJ Scott was, they do now.
The junior running back had 116 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries, averaging nearly 11 yards per carry in just one half of action.
Saunders, a senior receiver, had four catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns, showing he’s out to prove he deserves more attention after somewhat waiting in the wings behind other players in the past. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound Saunders certainly made an impression Friday, averaging 30.
