St. Aug's looks over progress in intrasquad game

RALEIGH, North Carolina — Head Coach Michael Costa was pleased with the execution during the Saint Augustine’s University intrasquad football scrimmage at the George Williams Athletic Complex on campus Saturday, August 16, 2014.

“We still have things to install, but moving on we will continue to get better,” said Costa, a two-time CIAA Coach of the Year winner entering his 13th season as Falcons’ Head Coach.

The scrimmage, the first of three in the preseason, capped the Falcons’ first full week of training camp. Referees from the CIAA conference were on hand to call penalties and monitor play as needed. The Blue team was the defense and the White team was the offense. The ball was spotted on all parts of the field, including the red zone, during the situational scrimmage.

Quarterbacks A.J. Gilford (R-Soph./Savannah, GA) and Julius Murphy (R-Soph./Goldsboro, NC), showed great poise in the pocket. Gilford, last year’s starter as a freshman, connected with Claytin Lewis (Fr./Raleigh, NC) on a 97-yard scoring bomb and Murphy hooked up with Sam Felder (R-Fr./Orangeburg, SC) for two touchdown passes.
