Southern quarterback Lampley took most of the snaps in first scrimmage

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The three-way quarterback competition remains open at Southern University, but sophomore John Lampley took most of the snaps with first unit during scrimmage action Saturday morning at A.W. Mumford Stadium.

The practice session featured referees and situational down-and-distance settings for the team to work on. Many plays ended without an official spot, but Lampley completed more passes than either of his counterparts during the morning workout that lasted roughly 2 ½ hours.

For the day, Lampley completed 15 of 21 passes with no interceptions, one touchdown, and was near 200 yards of production. Sophomore Glendon McDaniel was 5 of 18 with an interception, good for about 50 yards. He also rushed four times for 32 yards.

Sophomore Ladarius Skelton, who transferred from Fullerton Community College, was 6 of 14 passes, and was close to 100 yards.

“(Lampley) did a good job. I really thought the offense overall did a good job,” Southern coach Dawson Odums said. “I thought all three quarterbacks made good decisions… It was good to see those guys playing with a lot of confidence.”
