For those of you keeping score, yes, the Bakersfield College football team did lose a scrimmage against College Of The Sequoias 23-13 on Aug. 27, but coach Jeff Chudy wasn’t worried.
“A scrimmage is like a pretest. It’s not going to count in the gradebook, and it’s not going to go against your final grade,” Chudy said.
Chudy felt that his team played well at times during the scrimmage but added that his team made some mistakes. “We made some mental breakdowns. We shot ourselves in the foot, so to speak.” Chudy said that the offensive line will be the biggest strength for his team this season. “I think the offensive line is going to be a real strong point of our football team.”
According to Chudy the defense has a chance to perform the same as they did last season.
“I think defensively if we can pull ourselves together and play a team concept, we definitely have a chance to equal to what we were last year.”
Despite the fact that the Renegades were unable to practice their kicking game during the scrimmage, their kicking game should be solid this year, he added.
