BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — The Samford football team practiced for a little over an hour in shorts and helmets Thursday afternoon at Seibert Stadium. The workout was the final practice of the week for Samford in preparation for Saturday's game at Florida A&M.Samford co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Brandon Herring said the Bulldog offense will face some different looks than they have in the past two games.
"We're facing a little different style of defense," Herring said. "We had to get all of their stuff in and make sure our guys know what we're looking at. I think we've had a good week of practice."
Saturday's game marks the first-ever meeting between Samford and Florida A&M in football. Both teams enter the game with a record of 1-1. Samford is coming off a 31-21 loss at Arkansas, while FAMU dropped a 27-7 decision to Tennessee State last week.
Herring talked about some areas he'd like to see improvement in from the offense.
"Finishing blocks is a big thing for us," Herring said. "I've been on my guys (offensive linemen) about that. The wide outs played a heck of a game last week as far as blocking goes. If you go back and watch the Arkansas film, they really blocked well. It was really fun to watch them in that game. But everybody as a whole needs to finish their blocks and protect the quarterback."
Samford will hold a final walk-through Friday morning at Seibert Stadium. The team will leave campus at 11:30 a.m. Friday morning for Tallahassee, Fla.
Samford's game against Florida A&M is scheduled for a 1 p.m. (CT) kickoff Saturday from Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla.
