A spring scrimmage is hardly cause for pomp and circumstance, but Lawrence A. Wien Stadium was rife with celebration. Alumni and supporters of the football program crowded the stands, arranged shoulder to shoulder within the confines of the centerfield seating, all angling for the best view. Wide receivers ran jump ball drills, redshirted quarterbacks practiced deep-throws, and stunted punts fell to kick returner after kick returner. All expected, all less than consequential.
