BYU's offense took a slight edge in Saturday's 102-play scrimmage at LaVell Edwards Stadium, with both coordinators saying it delivered its best day of camp.
Bear Bachmeier drove that showing with sharp reads and ball placement, while the offense controlled the line of scrimmage, ran effectively and hit through the air against a defense Kelly Poppinga said looked overconfident.
Aaron Roderick said the live tackling period also clarified the backfield: LJ Martin and Sione Moa lead the group, while Preston Rex, Devaughn Eka and Journee Tonga strengthened their cases for playing time.
BYU's receiving corps gave Bachmeier multiple big targets, with 6-foot-6 Kyler Kasper, 6-5 Jojo Phillips and 6-4 Reggie Frischknecht among the standouts Roderick praised after the scrimmage.
At quarterback, Roderick said fifth-year senior Treyson Bourguet would definitely be the backup if the season started today, even as freshman Enoch Watson continues to impress in practice.
