LAKE CHARLES – Fall camp continued on Tuesday for the McNeese Cowboys as the squad practiced for nearly 2 ½ hours in the morning as an entire unit for the first time in camp.
The Cowboys focused on third down situations – 3rd and medium, 3rd and long – as well as up-tempo drills that had position groups bouncing around from station to station.
It was the first time since fall camp opened last Friday that the entire 110 players took the field in the same session.
"The first day with the entire team together, there was a log of energy and enthusiasm, which is what you want," said second-year head coach Frank Wilson. "It's a day where players will start to separate themselves but it's still too early to see some separation. We'll have that conversation this evening as a staff now that we've had a complete practice together as an entire team. We put some guys in position to compete for positioning, whether it's a one to two or three, because again, those reps get limited. We'll watch this film and get input from position coach and coordinator and staff collectively and see how it shakes out."
It was a fast-paced practice with not much repeating or starting over but doing the things to help get the team better every day.
"We got better today as a football team," said Wilson. "We're focusing on things that we need to do to improve ourselves before we even turn out attention to an opponent."
