The first 2009 preseason scrimmage for the Monmouth University football team is complete, and we learned some things today after the 100-play team activity.
First off, we learned this team is mentally tough, because it was stifling hot outside today, even with the breeze from the ocean. Second, QB Kyle Frazier looked very sharp in operating the first team offense. He can make every throw in the book, and looked good setting up screens, throwing the deep ball and putting touch on passes when he had to. Third, the defensive line played very well, and should anchor that side of the ball.
The highlights of the day were Frazier hitting receiver Darvin Henderson on a third and long, and then hitting tight end Mike Roeder on a beautiful touch pass down the right sideline.
Back-up QB Craig Peterson made some very nice throws, one to rookie WR Mike Plautz and the other to WR Keith McPherson, who made a terrific one-handed grab for a touchdown. The other scoring plays were:
1) a 28-yard TD run from David Sinisi, who went up the middle and bounced outside to find the end zone.
2) The McPherson grab from Peterson.
3) Freshman RB Justin Pandorf scored on a bruising run, bowling over defenders on the way to the end zone.
4) Frazier connected with Rodney Salomon on a seam route up the right hash.
5) K Jake DelVento drilled a 46-yard field goal.
The team will scrimmage again in one week. What are your thoughts from today's scrimmage? How do you rate the QB's performances? How did the defense look?
