The Bengals started their spring scrimmage the same way it ended- slowly. After a hop, skip and jump, the scrimmage opened to a molasses start with the offense creeping over Holt Arena’s turf Friday night, April 25.
Russell Hill, a sophomore recruited from Boise, Idaho, was one of the offensive stars of the evening throwing two of the five touchdowns during the game.
Kelvin Krosch mustered some action early in the game with a 46 yard run, ending at the 35 yardline. From there the game recovered the humdrum pace, as Krosch progressed the ball another five yards, and then to the five yardline. Isaiah Burel then worked the ball into the endzone for the first touchdown of the game.
Krosch became the other offensive star of the evening, after he gathered three passes for a total of 91 yards.
From there the game slowly tapered off until Kenyon Blue received a shovel pass and tried to powerhouse the ball into the end zone. The play failed.
Then, the game collapsed into an intermission of punting and kicking drills.
Afterwards, Edsel Logan led a respectable effort for the ball, ultimately coming up incomplete. Ken Cornist was next to get his hands on the ball and made a nice run, which was followed by Jaron Taylor landing the second touchdown of the game.
Overall, the play seemed rather slow and forgiving even for a scrimmage. While the offense outplayed the defense winning 45-39, it seems the Bengals are going to need to sharpen their offensive line and their defensive game before facing off with Boise State in September.
The Spring Game, however slow, was still a nice way to whet the appetite of football hungry Bengal fans.
