Murray State kicked off Spring Practice with an early morning workout on the turf inside Stewart Stadium. The Racers conducted their first of 15 practices in helmets. The team will conduct its second practice in just helmets before putting on the pads for the first time on Friday.
“Overall, I was pleased,” said head coach Matt Griffin. “I thought the defense was really good to the ball. Offensively, we were not bad for the first day. We spent a lot of time in the kicking game, which is a must in the spring and is something we have more of each year.”
The Racers hit the ground running as they worked on special teams and individuals. The experienced group knows that there are starting spots to be won at every position on the field.
“Our kids are excited. It's a good group to be around and we just have to continue to get better,” said Griffin. “It's a journey, not a destination reached in a day and our guys have to understand that.”
The Racers will return to the practice field at 5:30 a.m. Thursday.
