After BYU football coach Kalani Sitake put his team through a 102-play scrimmage Saturday morning at LaVell Edwards Stadium, he ******* ounced the offense a slight winner, and neither quarterback Bear Bachmeier nor linebacker Cade Uluave disagreed.
The 11-on-11 scrimmage, which Sitake likes to refer to as "sparring," was a mixture of "live" plays, in which ball carriers are taken to the ground and "thud" plays, where contact is supposed to stop after the initial hit. Usually, defenses are ahead of offenses this early in camp, but that was not the case in the first scrimmage, apparently.
The scrimmage was closed to the media, and Sitake spoke to reporters via Zoom after the proceedings, along with Bachmeier and offensive lineman Bruce Mitchell from the offensive side and Uluave from the defensive side.
"I thought (both sides) had some moments," Sitake said. "I probably give a slight edge to the offense today, because I thought the offense had more big plays than I would like to have seen from the defense.
"A lot of big plays came because of guys that made them happen," Sitake continued. "I know all the questions will be about the receivers. I thought the receivers had a really good day today."
