Post from a guy on the Rant who knows an official who worked our scrimmage
MSU Yesterday (Posted on 8/10/14 at 5:31 pm)
This is from a colleague of mine that is 1. an Alabama fan, and 2. a high school official that was part of the crew that officiated yesterday's first scrimmage.
First, the stadium looks like a completely different place. If someone had been there 10 years ago and didn't know there was improvements, they would not believe they were in Starkville. Its first class. You no longer have a high school joke of a stadium.
Second, Dak Prescott is legit. Might be the best QB in the SEC this year. He finally has some receivers. #4 is all-SEC material.
Finally, Its always hard to judge teams in scrimmages, but the defense is FAST. Like NFL fast. They look like Alabama on defense. Not as deep, but really impressive in person.
Y'all are going to have a good year. Glad our game is in Tuscaloosa.
It's honestly not that big of a deal...

They are calling an intersquad scrimmage a week into practice. No gameplanning has taken place yet and I much imagine the team is working on fundamentals and basics at this point. Plus, I've officiated on several levels and any official worth their salt is not going to pay enough attention to give anyone anything of substance... he's a high school official working a scrimmage.
