Spring football camp is for teams to gauge where they stand months before the regular season begins.
On Friday, the Florida A&M Rattlers had their third intrasquad spring scrimmage at practice 12 of 15.
However, it wasn’t the plays made on the field that left a lasting impression on FAMU head football coach James Colzie III in his immediate review of the scrimmage.
“I thought we made some plays early, but I wasn’t very happy with our presentation today,” Colzie said after the scrimmage. “I told the team we will be a very good football team. But how we presented ourselves is not something I would want to see at any time.”
Colzie referenced post-snap penalties, scuffles, and excessive celebrating for his discontent.
FAMU had referees officiating the game, who called 15-yard penalties against the Rattlers as they would in a real game.
“We’re going to get used to scoring touchdowns and making big plays on defense. And sometimes fights are going to happen,” Colzie said.
“I don’t want to take away from our energy. But I want us to be a well-represented football team, and there were a couple of things today that I don’t think we would be happy with.”
Here are three takeaways from FAMU’s third scrimmage and 12th practice of spring football camp.
