Last Saturday we took are show on the road and had a scrimmage at Jefferson Davis High School. Needless to say it was a day that our defense would like to forget. On the flip side of that, the offense showed that they have improved this spring. The Eagles ground game had 12 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown (no fumbles). The Faulkner air attack went 21-31 for 272 yards and 2 touchdowns. The offense could have added another touchdown late, but got bogged down inside the 20 and went for it on 4th and long. The defense did stand tall on several plays with two interceptions and two sacks.
All in all, the team is looking very good this spring. As we prepare for our third season of competition at Faulkner University, our older guys are now stepping up and taking a leadership role. There are several former red shirts making a name for themselves and are moving quickly into key roles. Things are setting up nicely for the annual Blue and White game scheduled for this Saturday at Cramton Bowl at 10 am. Come out and see how far your Faulkner Eagles have come. We'll see you out there.
GO EAGLES!
