Taylor likes effort by Florida A&M Rattlers in scrimmage

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - The officiating crew that worked Saturday’s scrimmage on FAMU’s practice field was just as busy along the sidelines as it was covering plays. That’s because the offense and defense each had a few big plays of their own.

With every one of those plays, players from both sides crossed the line to congratulate the playmakers.

Early on, running back Eddie Rocker caused most of the rah-rah along the line. Then, as the 66-play scrimmage winded down to end the second week of preseason practice, the defense came alive.

Coach Joe Taylor seemed pleased with the two-and-a-half-hour scrimmage.
