Ross Trail has been running No. 2 to Hayden Moore in the University of Cincinnati football quarterback competition, but Trail showed No. 1 stuff Saturday night in an intrasquad scrimmage.
Sophomore Trail threw four touchdown passes in the two-hour scrimmage at Nippert Stadium, while junior Moore did not throw a TD pass. Trail and Moore each also threw pick-six interceptions early, but both also found some rhythm as the offense gradually picked up the tempo.
No score was kept, and Nippert in fact does not have a scoreboard while installation of a new video board continues. The UC football staff did not provide statistics to the media, but observers recorded TD passes by Trail to redshirt freshman wide receiver Malick Mbodj (12 yards), junior wide receiver Kahlil Lewis (37 yards), sophomore running back Taylor Boose (38 yards) and redshirt freshman wide receiver Marcel Paul (32 yards).
