Mean Green Football Holds Final Scrimmage On New Turf
8/27/2005 12:00:00 AM | Football
It was the team’s first chance to play on the state-of-the-art Sportexe Omnigrass surface, which was completed just in time for the final preseason scrimmage.
Linebacker Phillip Graves was just one of many Mean Green defenders to pull in an interception in the scrimmage. Fellow linebacker Derek Mendoza and TJ Raymond also looked impressive against the first team offense, each registering a sack.
2003 national rushing champion Patrick Cobbs was a hit on his return to special teams. The senior returned a kick off 82 yards for a touchdown without getting touched.
The Mean Green will have a full week of practice before next Saturday's game at Louisiana State.
