Spider Football Practice Report No. 7
UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond Spiders football team was on the field for practice on Monday morning at Robins Stadium.
Facing some of the hottest and most humid conditions of camp, the team practice for two hours, reviewing what the team learned last week in camp, while working on down and distance situations.
Early in practice, the team reviewed what the coaching staff focused on all last week – installation of the 1st and 2nd down offense and defense, as well as base fundamentals and techniques.
Midway through practice, the offense and defense came together for 11-on-11 drills, working through down and distance situations.
At the end of practice, the coaches started to install both the two-minute offense and defense basics, with more instruction coming later this week.
The Richmond Spiders football team will be back at Robins Stadium on Tuesday, with practice scheduled for 8:45 a.m.
Post-Practice Quotes
“It was a good learning experience out there today as we put in a lot of team. It was hot and we had to work through some things which showed us that we need to communicate. We got a lot of work done – we weren’t perfect but we’re moving on. We’ll watch the tape and get some things corrected.”
-- Defensive Coordinator Bob Trott
