Commentary: Offense showcases improvements in Red & White Game
The Cougars used increased play action and run-pass option plays that require quick thinking and even quicker feet to get through holes in the defense. | Peter Scamardo/The CougarThe spring Red & White Game was a competition between the offense and the defense, and you can put a ‘W’ in the books for the offense.
A strong performance by junior quarterback D’Eriq King and his receivers led the offense to score 48 points against the defense.
The game was split into four 10-minute quarters, with no stopping of the clocks during quarters. The offense tried to score as many points as possible, and at halftime, the score they accrued was given to the defense to simulate a come-from-behind situation.
