Football Completes Final March Thursday

Florida Atlantic University football team completed their final Thursday March workout under cloudy skies, bits of rain and wind that tested each of the quarterback's arms.
Â
While it is the final Thursday in March, it also was the final Thursday practice that did not have a pre-scrimmage mentality to it.
Â
"The new defense is way more dynamic. I feel like … we are buying in quickly. Everyone is on the same page and we are communicating. There is no bickering, fussing or fighting. Everyone's main goal is to win and be a solid defense."
Â
"We have a lot of players on defense that play well with instincts. Once you read your keys and you know what keys you have to play with, it is easy to execute. We are a versatile defense and we will have it all in, whether it be man or zone."
