Preseason scrimmage scores mean next to nothing. I predict Corbin, GRC and Elliott will all three be very good.

I can remember about 6 or 8 years ago going to a scrimmage in eastern Kentucky between one of the top teams in eastern Kentucky and the top rated team in the state. The score was reset to 0-0 after each quarter. Noone from the top team in the state knew or cared what the running score was. They treated the scrimmage as a scrimmage, playing all their players. When the 4th quarter was over the other team began to celebrate. The coaches, players, and fans were going nuts. When asked by the visiting coach what was going on they said "we just beat your team by 1 point. They even ran a story in their local newspaper that their local team had beaten the state's top team. The same two teams played again in a regular scheduled game in January. The states top team could have won by 40 if they had chose to. They won by about 30. They sure are fun to watch, but don't put too much stock in scrimmage scores.

Good post.

I agree that no one should put much stock into preseason scrimmages. Teams may not have all their players, they may not be running all the usual plays, and the coach may be specifically trying to work on one or two things. They may give some indicator as to how good a team will be, but should not be given as much weight as a regular season game.
