Weather wet, OK for FAMU workout

Defense shines early for Rattlers

Joe Taylor stepped back, applauding at midfield as a buzzer sounded to signal the end of the first day of practice in pads.

"It was a double- whammy on them —- first day in pads and they had to deal with the elements," Taylor said. "It was a bonus for us. We got better as a result of that."

"They created some turnovers, and they made some tackles. Overall, for the first day in pads I think we're making progress." The unit seemed to have a one-track mind — find the ball — all afternoon.
