“The guys are excited about a Friday night under the lights in the Sun Bowl and having the chance to get a full scrimmage in,” head coach Dana Dimel said. “It will be good work for them and hopefully we get through it healthy and have a good night. I know the players are excited about it and it is going to be a fun setting. I think this will be a pretty competitive scrimmage for our fans to watch because we’ve developed a lot of depth.”
