FLORENCE -- The University of North Alabama football team reached the mid-point of its 2007 Spring Workouts Thursday with a scrimmage at Braly Stadium that was largely dominated by the defense.  The offense struggled to move the ball and the defense also forced numerous turnovers.

UNA head coach Mark Hudspeth, who has led the Lions to the NCAA playoffs in three of the last four seasons, said the most obvious thing after the scrimmage was that the Lions would have to improve their play at quarterback and receiver.

"It was a combination of our defense playing really well and our offense struggling," Hudspeth said. "Our quarterback play did not allow us to execute well offensively and led to us getting frustrated.  We have to improve our quarterback play."In all, UNA quarterbacks were intercepted six times Thursday by six different defenders.

Running back Tim Hicks scored on a 10-yard run and Dusty Goodwin passed to Joemal Campbell for another score.

UNA starting quarterback A.J. Milwee suffered a sprained shoulder in the scrimmage when he was hit, even though the Lion quarterbacks were not live. Hudspeth said Milwee will return to practice after Spring Break.

The Lions will not return to the practice field for 11 days due to Spring Break.
