With their matchup against Oklahoma University inching closer, the Missouri State football team held an intrasquad scrimmage on Friday, Aug. 21.
The scrimmage was impressive, to say the least. Both the offense and defense looked like they had improved from years past, and there seemed to be a different level of energy inside Plaster Stadium.
Formation Variation
Under former head coach Dave Steckel, the MSU offense lacked formation variety, almost always running plays from the shotgun. Rarely, if ever, did Steckle-led MSU teams use under center formations.
New head coach Bobby Petrino’s offense used both shotgun and under center formations, as well as a wide variety of personnel.
