Practice #8: Tulsa Finishes Practice on a Strong Note
8/12/2022 4:28:00 PM | Football
TULSA, Okla. –– Tulsa was back on the practice field Friday morning and will close out the week with a morning workout Saturday.
"Practice was good. It was a little hotter today," said Tulsa's Philip Montgomery. "Again, you can tell that we're eight practices in and they're feeling it on their bodies. I thought we finished practice on a good note, both sides, but a really good give-and-take. You're always going to have that in fall camp, but I was pleased with the effort and how the guys are working."
Finishing strong can translate from preseason camp practice to the late stages of a game as Montgomery alluded to.
"It's so important to finishing each day. It's about my mindset and how I approach practice every day, the energy and the level of intensity that I bring in my execution. The physical part of practice is going to be the physical part of it, but as a player I can control my mind and I control what I have to do to continue taking a step today to get better," added Montgomery.
Following Friday's practice session, former TU defensive lineman Derrick Alexander spoke to the team. Alexander came to Tulsa from Booker T. Washington High School and played for the Golden Hurricane from 2011-15.
"It's huge to have guys like Derrick come back and speak to the guys – that's what we've tried to build our program about," said Montgomery. "They come here, they have a great experience and they work extremely hard. If they get their shot at the league they do that, and if they don't, they apply some of the things that they learned when they we're here – continue to work hard, be a great husband and father, business owner and a man in the community. That's what we're striving to do each and every day, and Derrick Alexander is a perfect example of all of those characteristics."
Season ticket packages for the six-game home schedule range from $75 to $330 and can be purchased online at TulsaHurricane.com/tickets or by calling 918.631.4688.
