SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego State football squad held its only major scrimmage of fall camp Saturday morning with a crowd of 2,000 on hand for Family Day activities at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
The scrimmage opened with first units on the offensive and defensive sides facing each other. The offense moved down the field in seven plays before missing a 42-yard field-goal attempt. That series was the only of the day for preseason all-Mountain West Conference running back Larry Ned. He finished his modest day with 27 yards on five carries and observed the rest of the scrimmage from the sidelines.
"The biggest disappointment was the emotion and energy that we did not have on offense," said head coach Ted Tollner at the conclusion of the approximately 95-play session. "We can rationalize it by saying we played a lot of people and combinations, and it was hot, but you can't make excuses with the schedule we are playing."
"We've had a real good camp," Tollner said. "It has been an excellent camp until our first test today. This is like a preseason game for us. The only real positive of the day was that no one got hurt."
Easily the offensive highlight of the day was provided by senior running back James Truvillion. Despite nursing a sore hamstring for most of the fall, he broke free for a 60-yard touchdown run on his second play in the backfield.
As is typical for August, the defense dominated the scrimmage. The defense, expected by many to be the best in the Mountain West Conference, had a total of 12 quarterback sacks, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries.
Leading the way for the black shirts was linebacker Jay Kos, who was credited with 11 tackles, including seven solo. Redshirt freshman linebacker Kirk Morrison was credited an interception and a sack. Another redshirt frosh, lineman Marcus Levi, led the team with three sacks.San Diego State Football
