Oregon's linebacker Devon Jackson, recovering from injury, participated fully in the scrimmage and is expected to start this fall, showing leadership growth despite earlier limitations. Georgia Tech's scrimmage was criticized by coach Brent Key for poor mental toughness and many mistakes, emphasizing the team's need to improve in dealing with adversity. Vanderbilt's scrimmage featured strong defensive plays from Linus Zunk, who recorded multiple sacks and a fumble recovery, although the offense lacked starters and struggled to score.

These scrimmages highlight the ongoing development and challenges teams face as they prepare for the upcoming season.
