Football Scrimmage

SMITHFIELD, RI - The Bryant University football team held its first full scrimmage of the spring Saturday morning as the Bulldogs ran through several plays including a few extra-point plays with the special teams.  Head coach Marty Fine spent most of the controlled scrimmage working on various new plays with the offense.  Of the few holes to fill offensively will be at quarterback. 

Looking to replace last year's starter Jay Graber will be seniors Kurt Spear (Green, NY) and Nick Scardelli (Manalapan, NJ).  The pair spent time with the first and second team offensive units working on various run plays.   Spear was Graber's primary backup and played against UMass last October following an injury to Graber that forced the Bulldog signal caller to the sideline.

The Bulldogs will continue spring practice over the next two weeks leading up to the annual Black & Gold Spring Game on Sunday, April 19 at Bulldog Stadium (1 pm).
