Green Wave head coach Curtis Johnson talked about Saturday's scrimmage. "It was pretty good.
The offensive line played outstanding. They did a good job blocking. There were not that many
penalties. There were not that many mess ups and I didn't see that many mentals," Johnson said.
Coach Johnson added that the running backs ran hard and the quarterbacks were sharp.
Johnson went on to say the defensive line played hard, the linebackers ran around and the
secondary played pretty good, we had a couple picks."
