NORMAL, Alabama –- One thing every football coach will tell you is if you win in the trenches then you can win the game.
That's what Alabama A&M football offensive coordinator Phil Dorn says as well.
The Bulldogs currently have 15 offensive linemen on their roster. Alan Cruz, Devin Dobbins, James Driver, Winston Hunt and Austin Simmons all started in 2013 on an offensive line that rushed for 1,840 yards and gave up only 21 sacks.
Joining them going into the 2014 season is Akeem Samuels, Courtney Brown, who played fullback last season, Baron Hobbs, Jr. Austin Boyle, Jordan Shelton, Anthony Jones, and Malcolm Johnson. The newcomers are Adrian Saterfield, Nhan Mai, and Chaz Wilson.
The Bulldog O-line has loss a combined weight of 300 pounds over the conditioning period as coach Dorn quotes, "We want to be able to play fast from the first play until the last."
A&M has completed four practices and will return for practice number five on Wednesday, April 9, at 7 p.m. at Louis Crews stadium.
