BIRMINGHAM, Alabama —The Samford football team practiced for about two hours in shells Tuesday afternoon at Seibert Stadium.
The Bulldogs are continuing to prepare for Saturday's home game with Florida A&M. Samford head coach Chris Hatcher said he thought his team put in a good day of work for the Rattlers.
"I thought we had a good day," Hatcher said. "We had to alter our plan a little bit because we expected some bad weather to come in towards the end of practice, but it never showed up, thankfully and we were able to get the full day in. We lost a little focus at the end, but overall it was a pretty good Tuesday."
Samford enters Saturday's game with a record of 1-0 after earning a 45-16 win over Central Arkansas last Thursday. Florida A&M is currently 0-1 after falling at South Florida by a score of 51-3 last Saturday.
In the win for Samford, several newcomers earned playing time, including freshman wide receiver Kelvin McKnight, who caught six passes for 157 yard and a touchdown. Hatcher praised the work of several of the newcomers who saw action during the contest.
"I thought the bright lights didn't get to them," Hatcher said of the newcomers. "They made plays when they were asked to make plays. I thought they had good pep about themselves and I expect them to do nothing but get better."
Samford will practice again Wednesday afternoon. The workout is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. at Seibert Stadium.
Samford hosts Florida A&M Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. at Seibert Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3. Fans can also listen to the game locally on WVSU-FM 91.1, or worldwide on the internet at www.samford.edu/wvsu.
