Mock Scrimmage Stats and Thoughts

Maryland football had their first real competitive practice of the spring, with an hour long "mock" scrimmage to finish off the week of spring practice. You can find the full stats after the jump, but first, some thoughts:

Just looking at the stats, it's clear Da'Rel Scott had a great day. He had 56 yards on just four carries; that's 14 yards a carry. Quite a day for him. Gary Douglas and Davin Meggett both struggled, unfortunately.

The passing game seemed to do well. Robinson was 3-5 for 37, which isn't great, but not terrible. Turner worked mostly on screen plays, going 6-7 for just 12 yards. tough to get a read on his performance. The receivers seemed left out a bit in the cold; Matt Furstenburg led the way with 2 receptions for 41 yards. I expect him to get a good amount of playing time next year at TE. No other receiver made an impact.

The defense will probably be iffy on a regular basis, but they could be playmaking; Jamari McCullough had a 50 yard interception and Terrell Skinner forced a fumble. Kenny Tate had a promising 10 yard sack; he really could end up as the perfect blitzing safety. Quinten McCree also blocked a punt. It's Seamo/Fridge/Brown Ball!

As for special teams, they seemed mostly unremarkable. Mike Barbour missed his only field goal, but it was a 50-yarder. It's difficult to complain about missing a 50 yard FG in spring practice. Baltz had three punts (two, plus the blocked one), averaging 57 yards a punt, though the heavy winds helped a lot. Regardless, I'd be very surprised if he's not first team All-ACC next year. Anthony Wiseman took two punts, which was surprising. I assumed Tony Logan would get most of the reps, but Wiseman did surprisingly well, averaging 25 yards a return. It'd be a huge boost if he turns out to be a consistent punt returner next year.

Stats are after the jump, via Maryland's official athletic site.

Any news on a QB?

Chrius Turner is the man and all but is MD going after any QBs? I could go for another Mcbrien type. He was the man! What ever happened to that offense?

But my personal idea, give Da’rel Scott the workload! Atleast 25 a game! If MD is going to make noise next year, he cannot fall off. But how does a guy that runs a 4.2 40 fall off? I’m glad i’m not chasin that kid out there in front of 55,000!

QBs

We have two freshmen coming in (CJ Brown and Danny O’Brien). Brown is a bit like McBrien, I believe. O’Brien is more of a pocket passer.

For Scott, I don’t think we can give a ton of carries. He’s the feature back, but if we give him too many carries, then he would fall off and tire out. I’d rather him share carries with Meggett and Green. We have three very good backs that give us three different styles – we need to use that to our advantage like we did with Leon Balltimore.

No way on Scott being the workhorse

1) he’s injury prone…

2) Meggett is a home run threat everytime he touches the ball imo, from what I saw last year the kid has great straight line speed and Green is sps to bee good…

3) Like you said…mixing it up never hurts

give him 15-20 carries a game and let the other guys split 10-15 carries a game and we’ll be special

Injury prone?

nah, the kid had one injury the entire year, it was just a nagging one. I think it was a dislocated shoulder or something but its not like every game he injured something else!

And splitin carries is cool, thats been proving more popular in football these days, just look at my Ravens (damn steelers) But Meggett is a good RB that takes what he can get and then more but Da’rel is the “homerun” guy of the bunch!

thats right,

i forgot about them.

But last season for Da’rel was a learning experience and he’s a track guy, “tiring out” dosent seem likely. Not to mention, last year, the last game was his best! Although against a team that has DB’s run 4.8 40s!

It's a moot argument b/c da rell is the man

I’m not going to argue against giving him sig carries…but we have the luxury of having a lot of good rb’s this year so don’t expect him to be the exclusive ball carrier

D Scott

I can see him being the top back in the ACC this year if our line holds up. He is a stud.
