Murray State Football Spring Report: Practice #5

Murray State's fifth spring football practice was shorter than the first four, but the intensity was just as high. MSU President Dr. Randy J. Dunn paid a visit to the Racers' practice field today and watched as the school's football team worked under sunny skies with a temperature near 80 degrees.

MSU began its hour and a half session with kick off return work. The Murray State coaching staff continues to stress excellence in all phases of the game.

Offensive station work focused on ball security and foot work. The defensive line spent a portion of practice working on technique against a double team block.

Both sides of the ball made big plays during the pass skeleton drill. The offense executed a 70-yard touchdown pass and the defense came up with an interception return for a score.

Head coach Matt Griffin's team had a short 11-on-11 scrimmage focused primarily on running plays.

The practice ended with point-after touchdown work.

The Racers' sixth spring practice will be on Wednesday at 3:45 p.m., on the MSU practice field next to Stewart Stadium.

Murray State will open its 2007 season on Aug. 30 when the team travels to Louisville, Ky., to face the University of Louisville at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 6:30 p.m. CT.
