Grambling Tigers Break Camp and Get Ready for Game Week

GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- The Grambling State University Tiger football team moves into game week mode as they get ready for the Alabama A&M Bulldogs Saturday night at Robinson stadium. The Tigers have stepped it up a notch and you can tell in the way practice is going. "The past few practices have been pretty good", said Head Coach Doug Williams. "We had more of a mental practice on Saturday as we went over a lot of situational things. We want the players to know that things can come up during the course of the game and we want them to be ready."

The intensity of practice has been increased by not only the coaches, but also the players. "They (the players) know what's at stake", said Coach Williams. "We want the players focus this week to be on school and Alabama A&M. If they can keep that focus and give 110 percent in

the classroom and on the field, we feel like we have a chance.

As the Tigers came into camp there was a different look and attitude. The coaches encouraged to let the things of the past motivate them and dedicate themselves to getting into good shape. "A lot of the work went on this summer in preparation for fall camp, "said Junior starting quarterback D.J. Williams. "We had a lot of guys that came in this summer and pushed themselves to be the best and prepare for the season."
