TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M head coach Alex Wood is implementing a run-first offense for 2015, meaning the Rattlers’ ground game will have to improve dramatically to thrive in the new scheme.
The Rattlers were second-to-last in the MEAC — and 112th in FCS football — in running the ball last season, and the team scored just five touchdowns on the ground. Only the Robert Morris Colonials (1-10) had fewer rushing touchdowns (4).
No FAMU running back scored a rushing touchdown last season.
Gerald Hearns, who led the team in rushing last season with 475 yards, said FAMU has a formidable stable of running backs. Hearns, a sophomore, stood out during FAMU’s first fall scrimmage on Saturday, especially when he took a screen 63 yards for a touchdown.
