Here it is, followed by the White team running me over. Enjoy.

Spring scrimmage No. 2 stats

Alabama media relations just released the stats from the second closed scrimmage of the spring. Since outside eyes are not welcome, it’s hard to read too much into the numbers because we’re not exactly sure how they were accumulated. According to the release, the numbers came from 11-on-11, situational drills, red area, goal line and 2-minute situations.

A few observations:
  • The running backs had bigger numbers this week compared to the first scrimmage including a notable bump to Mark Ingram’s stats.
  • Brandon Gibson, a receiver buried on last season’s depth chart who was spending time at safety this spring, caught the most passes with 10. As previously mentioned, it’s hard to read much if anything into this.
  • True freshman kicker Cade Foster made four field goals and no misses were listed. But, we’re not sure if that means he didn’t miss a kick or it just wasn’t listed.
