Albany State interim football coach Dan Land liked what he saw from Rams

ALBANY, Georgia — Albany State football fans got a taste of what they’re going to see this fall from interim head coach Dan Land and the Rams football team Thursday night as they held their annual Blue & Gold Scrimmage game at the Coliseum.

#It was the Gold Crush offense that was able to come back in the second half and defeat the Dirty Blue defense 34-31.

#The Rams are in the process of filling a void left by former quarterback Frank Rivers, who was able to lead the team to the SIAC championship game during his team his two seasons. They have three prospects to replace him, two of which played in the scrimmage — former Monroe standout Charles Stafford and Caleb Edmond, who backed Rivers up last season.

#In his first pass during the seven-on-seven warmup, Stafford completed a bomb for about 15 yards. In the second quarter, Edmond got tangled up with a few defensive linemen, appeared to be going down but at the last second completed a shovel pass and turned what would’ve been a sack into a 20-plus yard gain. Edmond also completed a beautiful 39-yard touchdown pass in the third and finished with no interceptions. Stafford had two in the contest.
