Using the wonderful tool, Cover It Live, I was able to provide live updates on the entire Red and White scrimmage. In case you couldn't get up to Flagstaff, missed the live updates, or if you just want to relive the scrimmage again, below is the entire game almost entirely play-by-play.

This game was exactly what everyone had hoped it would be: a competitive, exciting battle between a very good offense and an improving defense and for an entire hour, the first, second, and third teams went head-to-head playing a very rough version of two-hand touch. There is a lot more analysis to come (and a ton of pictures), so stay tuned for even more great stuff from what I heard one fan describe as a "10-plus" on a scale of 1 to 10. And he was absolutely right.
