Buffs’ J.T. Shrout goes down with knee injury during otherwise promising scrimmage

On Saturday, the University of Colorado football team held its first scrimmage of preseason camp. This marks a valuable opportunity for head coach Karl Dorrell and his staff to evaluate the Buffs in padded, 11-on-11 action.

“It was good work,” Dorrell said. “Good chance to see everybody all the way down to our thirds… I saw some really good things.”

One of the main headlines throughout training camp has been the quarterback battle between freshman Brendon Lewis and sophomore J.T. Shrout. The battle took a discouraging turn early in the scrimmage as Shrout suffered a knee injury while cutting left on a QB run.
