TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Offensive line coach Edwin Pata came into preseason camp with FAMU looking for five good men.
After two weeks, he thinks his need is met with a solid pool of backups.
“The good thing about this is now we are able to build depth and that’s positive,” Pata said.
“They’re getting reps and we can keep the same chemistry so in case we have to play a young guy we can have confidence in playing him.”
Pata is trying to establish an offensive line that he hopes will be more effective than it was last season, when quarterback Damien Fleming and his backup Tyler Bass were sacked 31 times.
While there were enough reasons to go around over the lack of offensive production last year when FAMU finished 4-7, the line took some pretty good hits.
