New FAMU football coaches bring ‘intensity’ to fall camp



TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M’s football practices have been more intense under an almost entirely new coaching staff, and quarterback Carson Royal said the demands of the coaches are helping the team improve after a disappointing 2014 campaign.

The Rattlers reported to fall camp on Monday and have been fitting in practices between torrential downpours. The team will have practice in full pads on Monday, but FAMU has been working on plays since walkthroughs began on Tuesday.

“All the coaches have been great in the past,” Royal said.

“I’ve had a lot of different viewpoints, but (offensive coordinator) Coach (Marty) Spieler and (head coach) Coach (Alex) Wood come with a lot of intensity and a lot of flavor with the offense. I really enjoy the offense and they’ve explained it really well. They make sure you understand every responsibility you have.”
