Football: five takeaways from Saturday’s spring game

Florida Atlantic University conducted its annual spring on Saturday afternoon in Boca Raton, giving fans their first look at new head coach Lane Kiffin on the sideline.

Instead of the first team versus second team scrimmage that usually happens in a spring game, FAU set up a scoring strategy in which the defense was awarded points for holding the offense from scoring, as well as forcing three and outs and interceptions.

The defense defeated the offense 62-33, and the scoring system was not very popular among some of the offensive players.

“I did not really agree with the scoring system, but whatever,” senior wide receiver Kamrin Solomon said.
