Long praises backups at SDSU football scrimmage

The 1,000 or so fans who went to Aztec Football Fan Fest on Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium might have been disappointed in the football part of the event.

The Black team beat the Red team 20-7 in a low-octane scrimmage that had a running clock in the second half.

Head coach Rocky Long called it an average performance, saying he thought the No. 1 and No. 2 defense looked good, but the offense was, well, “average.”

That being said, he was pleased with some of the backup players, such as redshirt-sophomore linebacker Tyler Morris. He made several plays at the scrimmage, including a tackle for loss on fourth down against freshman running back Juwan Washington.
