Observations, takeaways from FAMU’s 2015 spring game

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Top plays of the game

The flea-flicker: A trick play helped invigorate Florida A&M’s offense after two drives fizzled out. Royal handed the ball off to Terrance Nelson, who then pitched it back to the quarterback for a 70-yard pass to Montavious Williams. It was the first score of the day for the offense.

Yards after the catch: Tra’Von Holmes — the nephew of FAMU legend and former coach Earl Holmes — caught a quick wide receiver screen from third-string quarterback Davonte Austin and ran an additional 40 yards to set up the Rattlers’ second touchdown.

By accident: Royal’s second touchdown pass of the day was a 28-yard pass to redshirt junior Jairuckeis Jones. The pass was tipped (nearly intercepted) but Jones adjusted his route and snagged the ball out of the air, sealing the scrimmage win for the offense.
