Qbs Impressive In First Idaho Scrimmage

The University of Idaho football team capped off its first week of spring practice with the first of four spring scrimmages.

Sophomore quarterback Brian Brennan completed 10 of 18 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns and led the Vandals on a pair of scoring drives. Redshirt freshman quarterback Robert Scott was 4 of 8 for 31 yards. Brennan worked predominately with the first-team offense against the second-team defense while Scott led the secondteam offense against the first-team defense.

“I think the fact that we have two guys with such ability really makes us a strong football team,” said coach Chris Tormey. “I think you could see what Robert can do today - scrambling with the football, running the play-action plays and the sprint-outs, running the option and those kind of things. Brian is a guy that can stand in the pocket and deliver the ball. We have two guys that give us two different dimensions and Eric (Hisaw) is right there in the fall. So far we’re pleased with the progress. There weren’t any interceptions, so that was real positive.”

Hisaw is recuperating from knee surgery.

Brennan led the No. 1 offense on a four-play, 70-yard drive that was keyed by a 54-yard pass to Dwight McKinzie. McKinzie capped the drive with a 17-yard scoring catch. He then led the No. 1 offense on a six-play, 60-yard drive against the No. 1 defense with the big play coming on a 50-yard completion to David Griffin. McKinzie, Idaho’s lone returning starter at wide receiver, caught seven passes for 122 yards. The Vandals will scrimmage again at 10 a.m. on April 15 and 22 and conclude spring practice April 28 with the Silver and Gold Game at 7:00 p.m.
