From Looney:

2:18 PM – This is a somewhat of a dress rehearsal for the coaching staff as well with the first preseason game just one week away. The headsets are out and Haley’s staff is putting the press box to full use to mock a gameday atmosphere

2:25 PM – I love this atmosphere…just like a D-III playoff game. The school flags are flying and the stands are packed. It looks like we’ll see the first-team defense take on the second-team defense to get things started today.

2:30 PM – The first-team offense opened things up with RB Larry Johnson coverting a third-and-short situation near mid-field, but it was the defense who got on the board first when QB Matt Cassel mishandled a snap and DE Wallace Gilberry took the loose football 50-yards to the house. Gilberry celebrated his score with a classic spike.

2:35 PM – The day’s first two series go to the defense as the red shirts hold tight to force a missed field goal. Cassel did show some athleticism in the series by avoiding a heavy pass rush and scrambling seven yards to set up the field goal try.

Can Succop kick from way out?

2:44 PM – The second group featured the first-team defense taking on the second-team offense. LB Derrick Johnson appeared to have forced the second turnover of the day when he laid a huge hit on WR Amani Toomer across the middle. A defensive penalty, however, kept the drive alive for the offense. LB Tamba Hali eventually thwarted the drive with a sack of QB Brodie Croyle to set-up K Ryan Succop with his second FG opportunity of the day. This time Succop drove the kick home from 58 YARDS OUT!
