The Hokies held their first full scrimmage of August on Tuesday afternoon in Lane Stadium. As usual, the defense dominated. The offense couldn't get much accomplished against Bud Foster's defense. However, there were bright spots on the offensive side of the ball, mostly on the offensive line and in the backfield.
First of all, the overall MVP of the scrimmage was probably punter Brent Bowden. He had a terrific day. All of his punts had good height, and he got them off cleanly. He didn't have a single shank all day. He had a great 2007 season, so it's not a surprise, but he certainly deserves mention for his performance today.
