Football: Penguins Complete Seventh Practice,
Scrimmage Next
Youngstown -- The Youngstown State football team
neared the halfway point of the
Spring practice session completing
their seventh practice out of 15 on
a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon at
Stamabugh Stadium.
YSU will hold its first jersey scrimmage of the Spring on
Friday at 3:30 p.m. The defense will
be the Red Squad while the offense
will be the White Team.
On Wednesday, Head Coach Jon Heacock said the biggest thing
the Penguins were trying to work on
is playing consistent football.
"It was another good day," Heacock said. "The kids worked
hard and competed. We have a lot of
work to do. We are not playing well
all the time, but we are playing
hard and with enthusiasm and emotion
and that is the start with this
team."
Friday marks the eighth practice and first scrimmage of the
spring. Heacock said he wants to see
how some players perform in new
positions during the scrimmage.
Sophomore Mike Andrews has moved
from the secondary to the BAN
linebacker position and Steve Durbin
is back on defense at nose tackle
after playing on offense a year ago.
"We will do some things after the jersey scrimmage and sort
some things out," Heacock said. "We
wanted to give everybody a chance to
play on Friday in a position that
they have learned. We want to give
them the opportunity to see if they
can play and see if we are making
the right decisions." |
