It was all offense early in Idaho State’s spring practice last Friday night at Holt Arena. Following a failed drive by quarterback Russel Hill, backup QB Kyle Blum marched his offense down the field from their own 20-yard line. The Moorpark High School graduate Blum connected with freshman wide-out Kelvin Krosch for a 45-yard reception that set the Bengal offense up at the 5-yard line. Two plays later, Blum would shovel an awkward 5-yard touchdown pass to running back Kenyon Blue.
Following the successful drive, third-string quarterback Evan Mozzochi took his turn under center. The drive was dominated by a strong Bengal defense, disallowing any momentum to commence. The only highlight was Angelo Magee’s diving catch. Russel Hill would lead the next scoring drive of the half, after running back Ken Cornist ran for a 32-yard pickup to take the offense inside the 20-yard line. The following play featured Hill hitting Jaron Taylor on a slant route that was momentarily bobbled, but then secured for a touchdown catch.
After witnessing the first half, it was apparent to me that ISU will heavily depend on the running game next season. If the defense gives up a lot of points, it would be wise of the offense to control the pace of the game through a steady running game. My only concern there would be the offensive line and their ability to give the runners room to run.

That's what was so unique about the scrimmage, the offense. Usually its the defense that dominates.
