Rattlers conclude spring drills with Orange & Green game

The FAMU football team will concluded its spring football drills today with the Orange and Green football game at 5 p.m. in Bragg Memorial Stadium. The game will have some of the usual flare — band and cheerleaders and all.


For the football team the game will be much more than an exhibition to see how far it has come since spring practice started 14-days ago. Every man will be under coach Joe Taylor's radar.

With only a few exceptions, Taylor said, every other player will be rated from ground zero.

"We are looking for top contributors," Taylor said. "We are trying to get to a point no matter where we were last year."

The green team will be made up, more or less, of potential starters. The orange team will consist of second team players. The third string will get playing time with the orange team.

They'll play 12-minute quarters, with a 10-minute half. Kickoffs will be live only to start the game and the second half.

I'm not sure what I say Saturday. The Green team (1st string) looked ok but the Orange team looked very suspect. Special Teams did not look good!

It's early folks. I was there Saturday and saw enough to know that we're going to have a very good football team.
