Bethune-Cookman University Athletics issued the following announcement on Aug. 17.
Saturday's second scrimmage gave Bethune-Cookman University Head Coach Terry Sims an opportunity to see how much improvement the Wildcats have made in preseason camp.
"Tons of improvement," Sims said. "The guys are getting comfortable offensively and defensively are starting to recognize formations. So, I think there was a world of improvement."
In 13 possessions, the Wildcat offense posted three touchdowns and two field goals while the defense forced three turnovers. Only two of the possessions went three-and-out, and the two first drives that produced Dylan Moghaddam field goals lasted 12 plays.
"We're doing the things we're supposed to be doing," Sims said. "The running backs are doing an outstanding job and picking up all the slack we lost from the wide receivers the last year. We're converting the plays we need to be making."
Shannon Patrick took the most snaps of the three quarterbacks Saturday, going 15 of 26 for 174 yards. Most of his completions went underneath until a late 49-yard touchdown to Marcus Riley.
"All our quarterbacks have different skill sets," Sims said. "Shannon has a great intermediate ball and does a great job being patient in the pocket and can run when he needs to. I think a little of his game showed today, and there's a lot more to come in the next couple of weeks."
LaDerrien Wilson and Aaron Thompson ran for touchdowns for the Wildcats, who opened their season September 4 at Texas-El Paso.
