Key BYU Football players sat out during their first scrimmage of the fall camp at Lavell Edwards Stadium.  Harvey Unga, Dennis Pitta, David Nixon, and Jan Jorgensen did not participate during the scrimmage opening the door for young players to impress the coaches.  Max Hall played well completing 11/15 passes for 157 yards and a touchdown.  His main target was tight end Andrew George.  If the scrimmage was any indication of what is to come, the BYU Tight Ends will get a lot of looks.  O’neill Chambers had a few grabs including a 45-yard grab down the sidelines.  With BYU’s running game and offensive line, I could see the Cougars having a lot of big yard plays using play-action.  Chambers doesn’t look like a freshman and if he can keep his attitude in check, he will get plenty of chances to impress fans this year.  The Defense looked strong and help the offense on several drives.

Justin Sorensen got a few chances at some long kicks.  He missed from 57 yards, and was good from 38 and 48.  It will be interesting to see if Coach Mendenhall changes his 4-down territory strategy this upcoming season with Sorensen’s long kick capabilities.

This concludes week 1 of Fall Camp.  We will be back next week for more updates from BYU Footballs Fall Camp.
