Balanced scrimmage for WVU Saturday with the season opener 2 weeks away

(Neal Brown Zoom Conference – Aug. 29)

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia’s offensive and defensive units both showed signs of progress at times, according to head coach Neal Brown, in Saturday’s scrimmage.

“There was a lot of give-and-take,” Brown said. “I thought the defense started off strong and forced some takeaways — a fumble and two interceptions I believe to start the scrimmage. The offense right around the middle rebounded and ran the ball better.”

On offense, Brown once again highlighted the play of junior running back Leddie Brown. Fellow running back A’Varius Sparrow, Fairmont Senior graduate and offensive lineman Zach Frazier also earned praise from the head coach.
