Do you generally get the sense of what this team will look like this year after that scrimmage? Can’t imagine they hold much back

General little bit yes and no, but a large part is nothing is learned. You get a good idea of weaknesses and strengths, but need to be taken with a grain of salt because the opponent is a still a team that has been 12-20 over last 3 years.

They're live to the ground except for QB which creates a lot of extra yards on scrambles or time in pocket. They still tag off, but it's unrealistic in time and turnovers. This showed up last two years on Adrian's fumbles. In practice and scrimmages he willy nilly carries the football. Also when he's really pressured in the pocket bad reads or throws.

There is no special teams. All series start on a yard line.

Pretty much all plays are scripted. No in game adjustments. Which is obviously a weakness.

What you can see is position group weaknesses. This was pretty evident last year at WR and OL. Both were abused.

You see the "creative" and cute play calling inside the redzone.

Saw Cam's bad snaps. I didn't really even pay attention to them at the time. And they were just glossed over at time.

They do pump up crowd noise inside the stadium (regulated and simulated real times crowds would get into it), which on field level is pretty deafening and does get to you after a while. For me it mentally took a few series to tune it out and focus. You could see younger guys had issues communicating.

2018 season when I was used to seeing HCMRs scrimmages and used that as my comparison. I'll never forget thinking to myself "this might be a pretty good team this year". A veteran white hat walks in behind me and says "that's not a good team now, they need a lot of work or they'll win 2 games in conference."

Thanks for this.

On top of that, it’s likely pretty hard to gauge some things when you’re playing against your own guys in the sense that 1) You know the guy across from you extremely well and 2) You can’t really get a gauge of whether something happened because player X is just that good or because player Y is just that bad.

Id think most teams across the country script every play in practice. I don’t think that speaks to in game adjustments at all. That’s more so on a coaches ability to see the field and what to call to take advantage of that. If those types of plays aren’t in the script. Then I get it what you’re saying.

Yeah the scripted play sheet is good from an in season perspective or controlled scrimmages where down and distance are predetermined. But, these are game like situations. I've seen 3rd and short where it's an obvious 1st down play call. Or 3rd and long and a short yardage play is called from script in order.
