The Bulldogs wrapped up their ninth (9th) overall fall practice, after completing their first scrimmage this past Saturday.
"We had a chance to look at some film and evaluate the new players after Saturday's scrimmage," said head coach Buddy Pough. "I saw some signs of improvement but I also notice some things we need to improve on quickly. The one thing that gives me hope that we are going to be a pretty good football team is the enthusiasm of the players we have out here."
Pough stated, "I like what I see from special teams, especially our kicking game. We should be a lot better this season in previous years. We have two new kickers that will help us tremendous along with Preseason All-MEAC punter Cliff Benjamin, Jr."
The Bulldogs return to the field on Tuesday (Aug.14th) afternoon at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday (Aug. 15th ) at 9:30 a.m., Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. and Friday (Aug. 17th ) in a 9:30 a.m. morning session, all in full gear before their second preseason scrimmage on Saturday (Aug. 18th ) at 10:30 a.m.
