TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- The final scrimmage of spring football practice — highlighted by some hard hitting and interceptions that were returned for touchdowns by the defense — was over Thursday afternoon for Florida A&M.
Then, after running through a few obligatory football matters, coach Joe Taylor spent the rest of his time chiding his players about their responsibilities over the next three months. Taylor put as much emphasis on summer school attendance as he did on conditioning and watching film.
He repeatedly reminded them of the importance of class attendance. He wanted to make sure that he doesn't lose key players to academic ineligibility, as was the case for seven players last season.
"You lose that many and I don't know if you ever recover," Taylor said. "That can't happen so I really charge them to be somebody that your teammates can depend on; go to summer school and attend classes. If we can get that part done, then we've got a chance to be really competitive."
