College Football: Observations from the 2010 Maroon/Gold scrimmage

• Texas State didn't feel like playing defense Saturday night, as the offense rolled up 367 yards and 15 touchdowns on 98 plays.
• Believe it or not, the Bobcats had quality quarterback play from Tim Hawkins, Bryan Hill and Eric Soza.
• Hawkins didn't dance around nearly as much in the pocket as usual and tried to beat the defense with his arm (completed 5-of-11 passes for 41 yards). Hill settled into his role as second-string signal caller and led the offense on four scoring drives. Soza didn't win himself the starting role as of this moment, but certainly helped his cause by completing 9-of-14 passes for 85 yards and four touchdowns.
• The quarterback's favorite target was Daren Dillard, who reeled in six catches for 42 yards and four touchdowns. Dillard caught three scoring strikes from Soza.
• Dexter Imade and Frank Reddic will be a solid 1-2 punch for Texas State in 2010. Imade rushed 12 times for 79 yards and two touchdowns while Reddic toted the ball 18 times for 69 yards.
• The Bobcats' linebackers (Brian Lilly, Bryan Iwuji and Joplo Bartu) combined for 28 tackles (10 solo). Each had a tackle for a loss.
• Texas State sophomore nose guard Ralston Dews continued his emergence as a viable option on the defensive line. Dews, who sprained his ankle during practice Thursday afternoon, had his hand in five tackles, including two stops on the goal line.
• QUOTABLE: "Today was the first day, I really feel, that these young men stepped up and possibly could become the kind of guys that could help us win some football games next fall." ~ Bobcats head coach Brad Wright on the quarterbacks.
