Shermi's makeover is still a "work in progress", but the shift from a QB-run-heavy offense to a RB-run-heavy offense looked pretty good in this year's Maroon and White scrimmage. Goodson got the rock eight times and ran for 58 yards in the first series. In last year's scrimmage, it took Goodson a quarter to get the ball eight times. Shermi thought that "Goodson played extremely well there in the first quarter and part of the second. He showed his talent and we didn't do everything we can do with him or we wanted to do with him. We can give him the ball in the backfield or the check down."Two things we would like to see, and didn't, were 1) some indication of who will be under center this season, and 2) a dominate defense. Neither McGee or Johnson did much to put themselves ahead of the other, and it turns out that you need good players to have a good defense; "the days of the Wrecking Crew might not return until 2009."
The result of the scrimmage was 14-3, but this year's game was different than previous years. "Texas A&M" played the "Aggies" in a traditional game for only two quarters, then Shermi put his team in different situations: 2 min drill, goal line, etc.
