It was obvious from the offensive output, with only one touchdown -- a deft, pinballing run from Brendan Johnson, a 5-7 sophomore from Atlanta -- in 68 snaps.

It was also a warning to his defense that the next scrimmage "will be a different story. ... We've got to get focused for the second time around," he said.
