Gold team takes W in annual football spring game
Ferris State football closed out their spring training schedule with an intersquad contest with the annual Crimson and Gold spring game.
The Gold team, which wore white jerseys as opposed to red for the Crimson squad, sealed the 29-24 spring matchup on a late game interception by junior linebacker James Wimberly. The game used a modified scoring method where turnovers counted for three points and first downs scored one point, in addition to the normal scoring system.
Crimson made a strong effort in the later half as freshman running back DeShun Brown ran for four first downs in the third quarter.
In the end, Gold ultimately closed out the game on defense, taking the contest 29-24 at the final whistle.
