Prairie View Football Back At Work For Second Spring Practice

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas -- The Prairie View A&M University football team held its second spring practice Tuesday night at Panther Stadium.

"The effort of the guys is there," said first-year head coach Eric Dooley. "They are zoning in to what we are trying to accomplish. They are really flying around the field. We are thin at some positions, but the guys are working. They definitely want to learn, and they want to do what's best for the team."

With back-to-back practices, Dooley and his staff noticed the improvement from day one to day two in not only the grasp of the system, but also the effort and expectation of practice.

"They are definitely becoming accustomed to what we're looking for," Dooley said. "They've been working in that aspect in the weight room, in winter conditioning, and now here on the practice field. Now they see the tempo that we want and the high expectations. Our guys want to be good, and that works hand-in-hand."

The Panthers will end the first week of spring practice with sessions Thursday at 5:01 a.m. and Friday at 3:05 p.m.
