With a major focus on individual skills, first-year head coach Eric Dooley took his team through the first fall practice, with the season opener Saturday August 25 at Rice at 6 p.m.

"It's going to always be tough out here because of the expectations," Dooley said. "We have high expectations, and that's the way it should be. I'm pretty sure some guys did some great things and we'll get a chance to take a look at it once we watch the video."

There was marked level of increased intensity from the first spring under Dooley to today's practice session.

"I thought the intensity was turned up a lot," Dooley said. "I thought the guys tried to fly around but we kind of surprised them with some things we did at the beginning of practice. A lot of the veteran guys took it and challenged themselves. I know what I'm expecting will always be tough, but just looking at the overall picture, there are some pleasing sights and some positions we have to work on."

The Panthers will practice Saturday at 9 a.m. and Sunday at 4:30 p.m.
