The first scrimmage is officially in the books for Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program. The media was not permitted to watch any portion of the scrimmage at the Student Athlete Building, nor were they allowed to ask questions about the scrimmage after practice. However, BYU did release a few minutes of highlights via social media.
