Secret scrimmages

Maybe the logic is so coaches can try different offensive and defensive schemes without anyone else in their
conference being able to see and scout them?
btw- many pick Texas Tech in the Top 10 - these guys pick them #6, CBSSports has them #7, AP at #8.

INSU had a secret scrimmage against Miami OH (2nd in MAC preseason) last weekend. Won 4 out 5 twelve minute periods. Walk on's and Freshman lost the last period.

Interesting. I am surprised Indiana State did so well. They have been picked in the lower half of the MVC in just about every preseason preview, and the Blue Ribbon Yearbook picked them dead last (11th).
On the other hand, Miami was a pretty good team last year (25-9, 14-4 and 2nd in the MAC). They made it to the title game in the MAC Tournament, losing a close game, 76-74, to #1 seed Akron. They have had a lot of turnover, but they still appear to have some decent talent, and they added a couple guys with Bradley connections, Almar Atlason. Leshawn Stowers, and Brant Byers, a redshirt soph that Bradley offered..
 
I put zero stock in these "secret scrimmage" results. I think in most cases the coaches primary objective is evaluation and lineup experimentation over the end result.
