Spring game story

April 25, 2008

The offense dominates the first half of the spring game by scoring two touchdowns.

The 2008 Idaho State spring game was played Friday night at Holt Arena. The annual game played between the offense and the defense was dominated in the first half by the Bengal offense.

After a fairly ineffective first series led by quarterback Russel Hill the first scoring drive was led by backup quarterback Kyle Blum from the offense’s own 20 yard line. The highlights of the drive were a 45-yard pass down to the 5-yard line from Blum to freshman receiver Kelvin Krosch. The reception setup a shovel pass for a score to Kenyon Blue two plays later.

Third string quarterback Evan Mozzochi led the next series and the defense had their best series of the first half. The defense never let the offense get anything going and when they offense got any momentum it was quickly shut down with a big play. The only highlight for the offense was a diving catch made by Angelo Magee.

Russel Hill led the offense for the second scoring drive of the half. After a few running plays that gained very little Ken Cornist broke a run for 32 yards down inside the 20. On the next play Hill hit Jaron Taylor on a slant route that he bobbled and eventually controlled for a touchdown reception.

After the first half of play it was obvious to see that the offense was further ahead of the defense this spring. With the play of the quarterbacks and recivers the only part of the offense that needs to improve is the offensive line. A big part of the Bengal offense is the running game and if the offensive line doesn’t do there job the running game doesn’t work and neither does the offense.
