The only thing that matters less than secret scrimmage results...

Is preseason predictions You do not run even a third of your sets. You are looking for cohesion between different lineups, not trying to take advantage of mismatches. You dont watch any film to prep. There are designated periods where both staffs have agreed to play players that are outside of the rotation to see if they can get a look against outside competition. There is nothing less important to a season than the score in a scrimmage. Buzz lost his scrimmage today by 20+...I highly doubt hes losing sleep over it. It just doesnt matter. It is a tool to help self-evaluate and nothing more

Think they try to win a little more intentionally against Duquesne

They might treat it a little more like a real game...
