Here are some numbers to go with your spring scrimmage.
The stats are approximate, so basically useless except for maybe a baseline measure of what may or may not have happened.
Rushing
Advertisement
Damon Bullock -- 14 carries for 121 yards, including an 84-yard TD
De'Andre Johnson -- 15 carries for 116 yards, including a 58-yard TD (he broke an arm tackle and ran in free space and kept running, we'll give him a scrimmage TD)
James Vandenberg 3 for 6
Jake Rudock 2 for 9
Cody Sokol 1 for 4
Notes -- As you can see, Bullock and Johnson were the only running backs to touch the ball. No sign of walk-on Andre Dawson. The only other running back in Kinnick Saturday was Cedar Falls senior Barkley Hill. He'll be here in August. Johnson fumbled after a hit by DB Gavin Smith and DE Melvin Spears. Bullock was stopped when the first team faced a fourth-and-1. FB Brad Rogers didn't participate because of injury. He was in uniform but had a red jersey.
Passing
James Vandenberg -- 12 of 30 for 106 with one interception that was called back because of a pass interference and an intentional grounding
Jake Rudock -- 6 of 11 for 40 yards with an INT
Cody Sokol -- 6 of 11 for 39 yards and an INT
Notes -- You can tell Rudock has been highly coached. Form is good. Holds the ball high. Sokol double clutches a little, but decent arm. Vandenberg is doing a lot of thinking because he's really the one filter between new offensive coordinator Greg Davis and the team. Missed WR Don Shumpert long for what would've been a TD. Also overthrew TE C.J. Fiedorowicz in red zone drills. Vandenberg threw one of the day's best passes to Shumpert in drill work. CB B.J. Lowery had perfect coverage on Shumpert, but Vandenberg threw to Shumpert's back shoulder, just beyond Lowery's hand.
Receiving
WR Don Shumpert 4 receptions for 59 yards
TE Jake Duzey 3 for 13
TE Henry Krieger-Coble 3 for 13
WR Blake Haluska 2 for 18
WR Kevonte Martin-Manley 2 for 15
TE C.J. Fiedorowicz 2 for 12
RB Damon Bullock 2 for 7
WR Steve Staggs 1 for 17
RB De'Andre Johnson 1 for 13
TE Zach Derby 1 for 7
WR Jacob Hillyer 1 for 6
FB Jonathan Gimm 1 for 6
WR Jordan Cotton 1 for -1
Notes -- Shumpert fumbled on a short catch. CB B.J. Lowery caused a fumble and SS Tommy Donatell recovered. After the scrimmage, wide receiver coach Erik Campbell had Shumpert, a junior, take a ball and do five push-ups every 5 yards all the way down the field. WRs made several fingertip catches near the sideline with KMM probably scooping up the catch of the day. There were a handful of drops, more in the 7-on-7. Senior WR Keenan Davis suited up and went through some 7-on-7 after being ruled out earlier in the week with a minor injury. He didn't play in the situational portion or the scrimmage.
INTs
Cornerback Greg Castillo picked off QB Cody Sokol. Castillo saw time in nickel situations as the outside cornerback and was with the second team.
Walk-on corner Brian Kroll picked off QB Jake Rudock in red zone.
Lowery picked off Vandenberg, but the play was called back when safety Nico Law was hit with a pass interference.
Field goals
27 yards, left hash
Mike Meyer -- good
Trent Mossbrucker -- wide right
Marshall Koehn -- good
32 yards, left hash
Mike Meyer -- good
Trent Mossbrucker -- good
Marshall Koehn -- good
28 yards, right hash
Mike Meyer -- good
Trent Mossbrucker -- good
Marshall Koehn -- good
37 yards, left hash
Mike Meyer -- good
Trent Mossbrucker -- good
Marshall Koehn -- good
33 yards, left hash (scrimmage)
Mike Meyer -- good
Notes -- Meyer and Koehn have strong legs. Not much separates them. There were no kickoffs Saturday, so we don't know how the 35-yard line kick rule will factor. Any of these three could be effective. This was just 1/12th of their spring, so it's difficult to draw any solid conclusions.
Punts
John Wienke -- 39
Jonny Mullings -- 46, 41
Notes -- Wienke is the first-team punter. Mullings' form remains fairly slow.
Sacks
CB Micah Hyde had two, both off blitzes
LB Christian Kirksey had a sack off a blitz (Iowa sent both linebackers once)
CB Jordan Lomax also had a sack (he's a sneaky good player, Iowa is set at corner)
Forced fumbles
CB Gavin Smith and DE Melvin Spears forced RB De'Andre Johnson's fumble. SS Nico Law recovered.
CB B.J. Lowery forced WR Don Shumpert's fumble. SS Tommy Donatell recovered.
Penalties
Illegal procedure -- Left side of the first-team O-line.
Pass interference -- On SS Nico Law, wiping out a B.J. Lowery interception.
Intentional grounding -- QB James Vandenberg didn't get out of the pocket when dumping a pass out of bounds in the face of a blitz.
