Rutgers Football: Scrimmage Results and Thoughts

Today was the first of two scrimmages during training camp for the football team. It took place at High Point Solutions Stadium at noon and here are the statistics, courtesy of Keith Sargeant from NJ Advance Media:

(NOTE: The scrimmage was controlled and not free flowing like a game with many situational plays, hence the modest running yards due to the defense having a good idea of what plays were coming.)
