Gray's return excites FAMU Rattlers

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Quinn Gray has been toughing it out since his return from sick leave to resume his role as offensive coordinator with the FAMU football team.

He doesn’t move around the field much, and when he does he gingerly takes each step.
But there is no shortage of enthusiasm to get the Rattlers offense back on track. There is too much that he still has to roll out in the pro-style offense that he introduced this season, he said.

“I think we have to get our kids back on the same page, knowing what they need to do with certain concepts and plays,” Gray said. “Now we have a sense of clarity as it relates to what we are trying to do. There is a sense of normalcy.”

When Gray fell ill while the Rattlers were preparing for their second game on Sept. 7 against Tennessee State, receivers coach Ernie Mills took the lead as Gray’s substitute. It was obvious there were some diversions from what the Rattlers showed offensively in their first game, but Gray credits Mills for what he did to keep things simple until his return.
