ELON, N.C. -- As preseason camp winds down, the Elon football team hit the field at Rhodes Stadium for a scrimmage during the annual Fan Appreciation event on Wednesday night. Elon will have one final scrimmage from Hunt and Tucker Fields on Saturday at 3 p.m.

After working on PAT and field goals to open the night, Elon’s first defensive unit forced the Phoenix’s second offense into a three-and-out.

Elon’s first-team offense then hit the field and covered 75 yards on five plays for a touchdown. The drive began with Scott Riddle finding Aaron Mellette for a nine-yard gain. On the next play, Riddle and Mellette connected again, this time for seven yards. After two more completions, Riddle found a streaking Mellette for a 48-yard strike and score. Mellette accounted for 64 of the 75 receiving yards on the drive.

On its second possession, Riddle again propelled Elon’s first offense to a touchdown. After an incompletion, Brandon Newsome picked up gains of 14 and 11 yards on the ground before Riddle hit Sean Jeffcoat for 18 yards. Newsome picked up another 17 yards on two carries to take the Phoenix offense to the defense’s 31-yard line. Three plays later, Lance Camp hauled in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Riddle.

Riddle led his offensive unit to a third touchdown score on its third drive. He completed all five passes on the drive, completing the possession with an 11-yard screen pass for a score to A.J. Harris. Taylor Berry made two grabs on the drive, snaring Riddle throws for gains of seven and 12 yards.

The first-team offense’s fourth drive began with Riddle and Mellette hooking up for a 38-yard gain to the defense’s 17-yard line. The defense held, forcing an Adam Shreiner 32-yard field goal.

On the four possessions, Riddle threw for 214 yards and three scores. Riddle would later rush for another TD during a goal line session.
