What’s old is new again.
The spread offense is making a return to Kelly/Short Stadium after an eight-year absence, a change which fans are largely receiving with welcome arms.
Fans got a chance to see the new-look offense for the first time at Saturday’s Spring Game in Mt. Pleasant and optimism abounds after a game that showed promise on both sides of the ball.
Gold began with possession and had a potential Tommy Lazzaro-led scoring drive squandered by a missed kick from 39 yards out.
Berkley Edwards, the transfer running back from Minnesota, opened up the scoring with a seven-yard scamper to put Maroon up 7-0 in the next possession, set up in part by a Poljan-to-Corey Willis 59-yard pass on the second play of the game for the Maroon side.
