SAVANNAH, Georgia -- As the clock struck midnight welcoming a new day in a damp Savannah summer, Earnest Wilson III and his Savannah State Tigers were working to create a new day, and era, in Savannah State football.
Wilson, in his first season as the head coach of the Tigers, began his first full practice at midnight on Thursday. The Tigers enter 2013 off of three straight 1-10 seasons.
Why did he do it?
“I just thought it would be a change of pace for the young men — something fun,” he said Thursday afternoon. “When we got going, we actually enjoyed it. Everyone was saying how fun it was. We wish we had more fans out there to watch it.”
Senior wide receiver Simon Heyward, who was the only Tiger selected to the 2013 MEAC All-Conference first team agreed.
