Louisville, Ky - The University of Louisville held its final scrimmage of the summer and officially ended camp on Saturday night with its best performance of camp.
Head coach Steve Kragthorpe ran 61 plays with the 1s vs. 1s and 2s vs. 2. It was an extremely competitive scrimmage with each side making big plays.
"I thought the tempo was very good," Kragthorpe said. "We did some good things on the offensive side of the ball and on defense. I feel good as a head coach walking out of there because I thought we had balance. The offense made plays, but the defense stepped up and made some plays on third down, too. So overall, I thought it was excellent."
Senior wide receiver Harry Douglas was out there for the first time in a scrimmage situation and made a huge difference to the success of the offense. Douglas made two long receptions and also scored a touchdown. He and Brohm missed on a couple of long throws that Douglas usually makes. However, the senior stayed afterwards to catch passes after everyone left the field.
The duo of Mario Urrutia and Douglas gave the defense fits. Each had about 80 or more yards of receiving. Juniors Brock Bolen and Sergio Spencer were the leading rushers, while Brohm looked accurate, completing 12-of-15 passes.
Senior wide receiver Patrick Carter made a pair of acrobatic receptions, which was definitely good to see, while Trent Guy and JaJuan Spillman also made a few plays.
Defensively, Adrian Grady stood out and the second-team unit recorded four sacks on Hunter Cantwell.
