NORMAL, Alabama -- The Alabama A&M football team put on their full pads for the first time in the James Spady era and showed the 80+ in attendance what the 2014 edition of Bulldog football would look like.
Two drills that always get the players, coaches and the lucky fans in attendance excited were the Oklahoma drill and inside run.
The Oklahoma drill pitted a defensive player against an offensive player with a running back behind the blocker trying score. The object of the drill is for the defensive player to get off the block and tackle the runningback before he scores. The coaches called out the one-on-one matches based on position and size.
The inside run drill pitted the offensive line versus the defensive line with a runningback trying to get between the tackles.
Both drills allowed major contact between the players who had been conditioning since December 2013.
The practice was held at J.O. Johnson high school as part of Bulldog football giving back to the community tour.
A&M will return to Louis Crews for their next three practices Monday, April 7, Wednesday, April 9, and Friday, April 11 all beginning at 7 p.m.
