SAVANNAH, Georgia -- Savannah State University head football coach Earnest Wilson III was back in his element.That was obvious as Wilson split his time between observing and shouting out instructions and words of encouragement Saturday morning as he put the Tigers through their first preseason practice on the field adjacent to Tiger Arena.
The Tigers, who open their season on Sept. 5 at Colorado State, got in a three-hour workout starting at 7 a.m.
“We got to pick this thing up, we got to execute, we got to finish,” Wilson shouted to the 94 players in uniform from his midfield spot. “When we say ‘Get to the line,’ you got to go through the line.”
It was the first time Wilson had been able to conduct a practice since last November during the last week of the regular season. Savannah State was prohibited by the NCAA from having spring practice due to Academic Progress Rate issues.
