Preseason Football Report
Texas Southern Tigers complete final scrimmage

8/23/01

Houston-TX-The TSU football team ran 20 plays during its last scrimmage in preparation for its game against Prairie View, Saturday, September 1. The Tiger's defense dominated the first half of the scrimmage, allowing one touchdown.

"I was pleased with the effort," Defensive Coordinator Coach Jake Cabell said. "Since the spring and even in camp, the defensive first team hasn't given up more than seven points".

The Tiger's offense got revenge during the second half, scoring two touchdowns and three field goals.

"The offense is looking good," Passing Game Coordinator Coach Jarrett Harper said. "We are a little banged up from camp, but we will be more than ready to go for the first game."

Head Coach Bill Thomas was satisfied with the team's overall performance in the scrimmage.

"We have a few minor changes that we have to deal with," said Thomas. "I think the players are doing a fine job."

The team returns to regular two-a-day practices Thursday, 9-11 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.
