Defense Dominates Multiple College Football Fall Camp Scrimmages

Several college football teams held their first scrimmages of the 2025 season, with defense generally outperforming offense across the board. At Camp Tontozona, the Sun Devils saw a defensive-heavy game with the offense only scoring late touchdowns after stalling in the red zone. BYU's head coach Kalani Sitake and defensive coordinator Jay Hill both noted the defense winning the day, though the offense showed potential despite some execution issues. Texas Longhorns' scrimmage also highlighted dominant defense, with the offense struggling to move the ball effectively. Clemson's Dabo Swinney praised the competitive nature of the scrimmage, mentioning strong defensive plays but also noting some offensive successes and the need for improved punting. Meanwhile, McNeese head coach Matt Viator expressed satisfaction with the defense's speed and effort but concern over offensive inconsistencies and discipline, with the quarterback competition still unresolved.
