Football: Spring game produces Offensive Win with five point margin
The spring game on 4/23/11 was especially exiting this year. With the new stadium being built and freshman joining the FAU family, enthusiastic fans were there to take it all in.

 

Damian Fortner and Travis Jones were at it again today with gains of 46 and 66 yards respectively. Find video on Fortner here (http://youtu.be/2K_c99BCHv0) and Jones here

Jones is especially difficult to tackle with his lithe body and quickness, much the way Marcus Allen was tough to bring down. Fortner possesses the Gold Standard   prototypical back build.

 

Tough to bring down with his bulky and sturdy presence on the field, Fortner will prove to be of great value for the team this coming season.

 

Fortner made an impact on the receiving end as well, going 2 for 38 in yards caught. Darian Williams excelled on the offensive side of the ball collecting 6 catches for 71 yards.

 

Fortner made an impact on the receiving end as well, going 2 for 38 yards on the catch. A host of other receivers for the spring game included Jabyes Cross, going 1 for 34 with a single touchdown thrown by Quarterback David Kooi.

 

Additionally Blake Bierman went 2 for 33, DeAndre Robinson, went 4 for 32 and DeAndre Richardson collected 3 for 31 on the catch.

 

The Offense won the ballgame 18-13, creating a margin of five points.
