Stillman College hoping bigger leads to better after spring football game

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama  -- Stillman College is bigger and it's visibly evident.

You can see it along the offensive and defensive lines, in the physical stature of its running backs and the height of its wide receivers.

It's something coach Teddy Keaton is hoping will make them better in the fall, following an ultra-competitive spring game, which the White team won 14-0 against the Blue team, at Stillman Stadium Saturday afternoon.

Keaton and his coaching crew mixed up the squads as evenly as possible in order to get a longer look at players vying to make the fall roster and for the most part he was pleased with the results.

"The majority of the white team on offense was the starting 'O'. The majority of the blue team on defense was the starting defense," Keaton said. "The white defense was the second-string defense and the blue offense was the second-string defense. We're just trying to find that depth. I think our (No.) 1s were solid."
