Exciting Friday Night

Nothing exciting happened at the dome Friday night. It was missed advertised, as a football scrimmage. There was a offense, a defense, some guys running around in stripes, a football and guys dressed in dark shirts, coaches.

Not understanding what a Bengal scrimmage game is I was waiting for a kick off, a run back and tackle. Instead the offense came on the field with a quarterback,ran a few plays, didn't make a first down, brought out another quarterback and started all over again. But, the defense scored points for stopping the offense. Interesting they didn't even cross the goal line.

The public address announcer was certainly not helpful in explaining the action on the field or rules of engagement. He must have been surfing the web looking for a good movie to go to after the "game" was over.

In between the dropped passes and the runs, there were a few exciting plays, showing there is a potential for some exciting Bengal football come this fall.

Looking for the happening place in Pocatello on a Friday night will be less changeling now that the football scrimmage is over.

Grammar needs work but I loved your take on the scrimmage

I agree with you Jim I was hoping something that resembled a real game not just a glorified practice. Is was interesting to watch but it has to hard to evaluate the team when half the regulars don't even play.
