LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The University of West Alabama football team held a 90-play scrimmage on Saturday morning, just 13 days away from the season opener on Thursday, Aug. 27 at Belhaven. Head Coach Bobby Wallace commented on his teams play during the Saturday morning session.

“I’m pleased with the way we handled things today. I think we came out of it pretty healthy. We missed some turnovers on the defensive side of the ball, but we didn’t commit any turnovers on the offensive side. This team has a chance to do some special things if we just don’t beat ourselves. I learned that we are in better condition today than we thought we were earlier in the week.”

Wallace said it’s too early to comment on players until after he looks at the film, but did say, “That Deon Williams looked sharp in the scrimmage and he also saw nice things out of Gary Johnston.” He was also pleased with the way that Marques Coleman played on defense after being out for so long.

West Alabama’s season opener against the Blazers is set for 7:00 p.m. at H. T. Newell Field in Jackson, Miss. The game can be heard on FOX Sports, WSLY 104.9-FM and at athletics.uwa.edu.
