Quarterback Colby Freeman was 6-of-12 for 84 yards including a 20-yard touchdown pass to Richard Whitaker.
Quarterback Vance Smith was 6-of-15 for 66 yards including a 30-yard toss to set up a field goal by Terence Kitchens.
Running back Richard Whitaker rushed 16 times for 85 yards.
Players missing the scrimmage were: wide receiver Bethel Johnson (ankle); offensive lineman Taylor Whitley (ankle); offensive lineman Michael Mahan (shoulder); offensive lineman Alan Reuber (broken leg); linebacker Jared Morris (neck); tight end J.P. LeCompte (ankle); defensive lineman Ty Warren (stomach virus); and running back Oschlor Flemming (shoulder).
