GAINESVILLE — Florida held its second scrimmage of the spring on Friday, giving both the offense and the defense another in-game situation to showcase what they’ve done so far in the spring.

And both sides of the ball had their moments. junior college transfer running back Mark Thompson had a 60-70 run on Friday, according to tight ends coach Greg Nord, while wide receiver Ahmad Fulwood had a catch that caught the eye of Nord.

“We had a few explosive plays that we’ve been looking for out of the offense,” Nord said. “(Ahmad) Fulwood had a nice catch-and-run in a situation. We had Mark (Thompson) get out and get the big run in some of the situational stuff that we did.”

Thompson has generated a lot of buzz during the spring, and from what Nord said, he’s been able to showcase his skills.

However, the offense wasn’t the only side that had big plays. Safety Marcus Maye had an interception, while fellow safety Duke Dawson had a touchdown that was overturned because of a penalty.

Thompson will probably end up with the most carries this season if he stays mostly injury free.

I can't wait to get a look at Thompson during live action. I know the talent level is different and will be interesting how he performs.

I wish they'd say who threw the INTs.

The quarterback.

LDR lol

He is getting 70% of the snaps, so odds are that's true. As long as it stays 70/25/5, we know what the plan is.

If they switch to 50/50, we know the QB Whisperer is concerned.

BTW, am I the only one who hesitates to open offseason threads with "Explosive" in the title?

Yeah, absolutely.

Im sure they miss Chimp's nonstop repitition of " Line Up then Run into Each Other as Quickly as Possible."

True but I wonder who gets the 5%?

I don't put much stock into hearing about an explosive scrimmage...Wasn't long ago Adam Lane gave us a explosive bowl game and we haven't seen sh!t from him since.....

Is usually just some trash clipboard holder. They try to redshirt "The Future" QBs and get them plenty of reps on the scout team, like Grier, Grossman, and Driskel (before the injuries).

I'm not optomistic. But then again I usually look at a glass half full and declare it empty.

Good to see you '46! I hope you'll be around more, at least during the season!

Hi Euro. Are you still in Europe or are you now Amerigator;.

Most likely Del Rio. A little bad seed holdover for brain dead Jack :-).

LDR has yet to play well in a scrimmage from what I understand. He keeps that up Appleby will overtake him. Especially since he has played well in the scrimmages.
