Defense leads early, offense catches up in South Alabama's first spring scrimmage

South Alabama held its first full scrimmage of the Steve Campbell era on Thursday, wrapping up the first half of spring drills with an 88-play, 90-minute workout.

The Jaguars' defense shone early, getting three-and-outs on the scrimmage's first two possessions. However, the offense then caught up, totaling 480 yards with four touchdowns on the day.

"There were a lot of good things," Campbell said. "Offensively we had some guys make some plays with the ones and the twos, I liked the way our receivers caught the football and had some good runs after the catch. I thought the quarterbacks executed the offense well for the most part, there weren't a whole lot of balls on the ground.
