The Black Knights played under sunny skies and hot and humid conditions at West Point. The team shuttled out the first, second and third team offenses throughout the scrimmage and provided multiple water breaks due to the extreme heat.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The offense scored on its opening drive with an 75-yard scoring march.
- The drive included six-straight first downs and Darnell Woolfolk plunged in from one-yard out for the first touchdown of the day.
- The offense took advantage of a fumble on a kickoff as Cole Macek scored from 11 yards out for the second score of the scrimmage.
- Eddy Ruzga blocked the extra point, going up the middle and getting his finger tips on the ball to force it wide.
- Nick Schrage boomed a 65-yard punt that pinned the ball inside the 10 yard line. Schrage was a place kicker in 2015, but is the Black Knight's top punter.
- The defense got a stop to start the second quarter as Calen Holt blew up a reverse in the backfield.
- Tim Garner also had a long punt that was 50 yards and got inside the 10 yard line.
- Malik McGue scampered for 24 yards late in the second quarter for the longest run of the scrimmage.

- The offense was going in for a score when McGue mishandled the snap and Anthony Battaglia recovered for the defense.
