Florida A&M's Wood pleased with spring game, believes team has more work to do

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- First-year Florida A&M football coach Alex Wood said there's still plenty of tape to review.

But overall he was pleased with what his players showed Saturday during the annual Orange and Green game at Bragg Memorial Stadium.

The scrimmage had a different format from previous years. Florida A&M's entire offense was on the Orange team, and it played against the defense, which made up the Green team.

The defense had its own scoring system for the game (three points for turnovers and three-and-outs, nine points for turnovers returned for touchdowns), and the offense ran about 120 scripted plays from various parts of the field. FAMU's offense won the scrimmage 28-22 on a rainy afternoon in front of about 1,500 fans.

The crowd gave players and Wood a standing ovation once the game was over.
