"EXPLOSIVE BURST: Gallaspy, Dayes and Samuels all averaged at least 9.2 yards per carry for Red. Throw in senior Shadrach Thornton and incoming freshman backs Johnny Frasier and Nyheim Hines, and the backfield has plenty of big-play potential.
BRISSETT'S DAY: Jacoby Brissett wasn't particularly sharp in the passing game. He completed 13 of 32 passes for 164 yards with one touchdown.
THE NO. 2 JOB: Saturday provided the first glimpse at redshirt freshman Jalan McClendon in the No. 2 QB role.
The strong-armed McClendon threw for 144 yards, most of that coming with White. "He's got really, really good command of the guys in (the huddle), but he's got to move faster," Doeren said. "There's plenty of plays where we're barely getting the ball off, and he's got to understand the play clock and the dynamics of that."
DEFENSE: The Red team featured the team's projected starters, though several of the eight returning defensive starters were out with injuries. White finished with just 129 total yards. Touted freshman Darian Roseboro, a January enrollee, got off to a good start with five tackles and a tackle for loss. "There's a lot of hype coming in from what they had done last year," Roseboro said, "and we're just trying to help."
LINE PLAY: Replacing two offensive line starters will be a key going forward. The defenses were credited with nine sacks Saturday. "There were some good lanes but I was disappointed in some of the protection issues I saw," Doeren said. "The defense blitzed a lot and we didn't handle it well in the first half. I thought in the second half, they did a better job."
Running attack did well
