WJHL-TV: ETSU holds final scrimmage before season opener Sept. 4 vs. Vanderbilt

Post by BrentVU »

ETSU is coached by our old friend Randy Sanders (longtime OC at UT under Philip Fulmer), and features one of the best running backs in FCS in Quay Holmes. We saw Holmes in 2019 and limited him pretty well in a 38-0 home win. This year's likely starter, Tyler Riddell, also played in that 2019 game in a backup role.

As the September 4th matchup at Vanderbilt continues to excite the Bucs, the scrimmage still provided some much needed tuneups.

“Linebackers, quarterbacks, everyone has to get used to playing with bodies around their feet and until you get used to that it’s hard to play the game well,” ETSU head football coach Randy Sanders said. “Nights like this when you’re actually playing football, you’re blocking full speed, tackling full speed, doing everything that you do it helps you get prepared.”
