CLINTON, S.C. ? Presbyterian College finished the first of its two-a-day practice schedule with the first of three preseason scrimmages on Saturday. The Blue Hose ran approximately 125 plays on a hot, windless afternoon at Bailey Memorial Stadium.
Junior quarterback Tim Webb (Lugoff, S.C.) led the Blue Hose offensive attack in the scrimmage, throwing for three touchdowns.
Webb opened the scrimmage by hitting senior wide receiver Chetyuane Reeder (Clinton, S.C.) on a swing pass for a 64-yard touchdown on the third play of the first series.
In the very next series, Webb again threw for a touchdown, hitting sophomore wide receiver Jeremy Cole (Columbia, S.C.) for a nine-yard touchdown in the left corner of the end zone on an out pattern.
Webb found senior wide receiver Brandon Clark (Duluth, Ga.) for his final touchdown of the first scrimmage.
Redshirt-freshman quarterback Brandon Miley (Wilmington, N.C.) found freshman wide receiver Sean Adegbola (Loganville, Ga.) for a 20-yard touchdown.
Junior running back S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) scored the only rushing touchdown on the day when he rumbled in from 10 yards out.
On the opposite side of the ball, sophomore defensive end Daniel Diamond (Mount Pleasant, S.C.) had two sacks on Saturday. He was one of three Blue Hose who had a sack, along with defensive lineman Darnell Epps (Sumter, S.C.) and linebacker Josh Tavernier (Anderson, S.C.).
Freshman cornerback Justin Bethel (Columbia, S.C.) led the Blue Hose in the secondary with two pass breakups.

PC's game with Wofford renews an old rivalry. The Blue Hose and Terriers have played 80 times in their history, but not since the 1996 season. PC holds a slight 40-37-3 all-time series advantage over the SoCon school.
