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.
