Taylor upbeat after FAMU scrimmage

Coach Joe Taylor didn't see too many things that he didn't like during FAMU's final football scrimmage Monday afternoon. The defense dominated again, this time making five interceptions and taking one back for a touchdown. But in spite of that, the offense showed improvements from a week ago. "I saw some good things," Taylor said, following the scrimmage that was postponed three days by Tropical Strom Fay. "We scored (and) had some good hits on defense. We definitely needed this."

The Rattlers hadn't practice since Friday because of poor weather conditions caused by the storm. The inactivity was obvious in the first series of play with quarterback Eddie Battle running the offense, as was the case for back-up Curtis Pulley. But both of them settled down and managed to each throw a touchdown. After they got going, Taylor was able to get a better look at the offense against a simulation of the defense that they would see against Alabama State in Saturday's opener.
