FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina - Fayetteville State has taken the field for its first football practice on a cool, overcast morning, and coach Kenny Phillips is already in midseason form.
Wearing sunglasses and a bucket hat with the front bill flipped up, Phillips stands with a laminated schedule dangling from the lanyard that's around his neck. A whistle is in his mouth, but it doesn't stay there for very long.
Not surprisingly, FSU's defensive players are learning how to properly force fumbles, and it's a work in progress. "Don't fall on it," Phillips says. "Scoop and score."
Another group arrives at his station, and the results are similar. A defender falls on a bouncing ball, and Phillips stops the drill.
"That's not how it works in Broncoland," he yells. "Out in the open field, please don't fall on that football."
