A good crowd gathered in the West Stands of Lane Stadium on Saturday afternoon to watch Virginia Tech's first scrimmage of the season. Overall, it was a typical scrimmage. Play was ugly and ragged at times, there were a few too many penalties, and special teams needs to sharpen up a bit. But overall, it was a good starting point for Tech, and there were enough encouraging things on display to make you really wish September 1 would hurry up and get here.
The most active player of the day was without a doubt Jason Worilds. The r-freshman defensive end, formerly known as Jason Adjepong, would have scored quite a few points for his owner in a Fantasy football league. By my count, he blocked a punt, had two sacks (maybe three), forced a fumble on one of the sacks, recovered the fumble, and ran it back for a touchdown. He also drew at least two holding calls from offensive tackles.
