Alcorn State, MS—With the first two fall practices out of the way, Coach Spears says he is looking at tempo, while the team looks fundamentally sound and in great shape.

While the temperature has been hitting the high nineties and heat warnings being issued, the Braves are consuming 1 ½ gallons of water prior to taking the field for practice while being monitored by position coaches. 

Here are a few observations from Coach Spears:

***Sophomore quarterback, Brandon Bridge is ahead of where he was previously. I am pleased with where is at the moment. He is learning the finer points of quarterback mechanism.

***Senior offensive lineman, Isaac Williams has stepped up and is showing great leadership ability for the offensive line. 

***Jamison Knox and Brandon Morris are also showing outstanding leadership on the defensive sidr of the ball.

 

The team has practiced with helmets only for the past two days and will transition to helmets and shoulder pads on tomorrow. Practice will begin at 9 am and is open to the public.
