The Official Report

Here is a portion of the official report from the SID office on the scrimmage that took place on Saturday. I did not go and do not know anyone that went, so if anyone went I would love your comments on it.

OXFORD, Miss. - In front of a sizable crowd at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the Ole Miss football team held its first scrimmage of the fall preseason on Saturday, which was also the Rebels' first practice in full pads.
With the first, second and third-team offenses and defenses squaring off against each other in a variety of yardage situations, the Rebel rushing and passing attacks held the upper-hand for much of the afternoon session.
Junior tailback Hiram White led the ground game with 104 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 11 carries, while junior transfer Bruce Hall carried 16 times for 102 yards and four TDs and freshman Cordera Eason had 14 carries for 68 yards and a score.
The passing game was led by first-team junior transfer quarterback Brent Schaeffer, who completed 11-of-20 passes for 145 yards and three touchdowns on the afternoon.
