Rattlers' first spring scrimmage in the books

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M's first spring football scrimmage is in the books. And while new coach Willie Simmons gave the Rattlers a passing mark, a learning curve is expected.

Simmons, who is implementing new offensive and defensive systems, liked his team’s effort and energy.

FAMU’s defense set the tone early in Sunday's scrimmage, forcing a couple turnovers and three-and outs. The offense, behind quarterback Ryan Stanley and receiver Chad Hunter, settled in and finally found its rhythm.

FAMU coaches were active during the scrimmage, teaching, instructing and stressing fundamentals and mindset.

“For a first scrimmage, I thought both sides of the ball did some really good things,” Simmons said of the scrimmage that was delayed a day by inclement weather.
