Plenty of New Faces at Grambling

This time last year, there were a lot of question marks surrounding the Grambling State football team entering the season as the Tigers learned a new offensive system under then first-year offensive coordinator James Spady. Those questions were immediately erased as the Tigers had a successful season on the gridiron as several players set career highs on the field en route to an appearance in the 2007 SWAC Championship Game. As the 2008 season approaches, Spady and his offensive staff once again face a new set of questions as Grambling enters the season looking to replace several key playmakers that departed after the 2007 campaign.

Beginning his second season at the helm of the Tiger offense, Spady cited familiarity with his players as one of the biggest assets entering the season. “I have a different feel for our team this year as last year I didn’t know what a lot of the players were capable of,” he said. “I have a real good feel of what we have returning and that makes it easier to work in the new players we brought in.”
