PRACTICE #3: Energy and Focus Remains Good for Day 3

TULSA, Okla. –– Another early morning practice took place Friday for the Tulsa football team, as the Golden Hurricane worked in helmets and shorts for 140 minutes at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
"I was pleased with the competition of the day. We got a little more heat and humidity today and I think the guys felt that some, but I thought our energy and focus remained good," said Head Coach Philip Montgomery. "As you start getting tired and the heat starts wearing on you your mind starts wandering, but I thought our guys did a really good job of staying locked in throughout practice."
As Tulsa nears to the first day of pads, the intensity level seemed to pick up for Friday's workout.
"They're starting to feel that we're getting close to putting on the pads and the intensity is starting to rise. Plus, they've been in meetings and don't want to make the same mistakes, so I think that leads to being more physical and more competitive. I thought we had a competitive one today," added Montgomery.
For the first day of pads, Montgomery hopes to see the same consistency and to remain healthy.
"I want to see the consistency carry over and to be in position to make plays. Then we need to take care of each other," said Montgomery. "You turn on ESPN right now and every day they talk about injuries in fall camps across the country. We want to take care of each other and get great work."
"As we put the pads on, there are times that guys forget about the scheme part of it and all they want to do is go hit. You've got to play within the system on both sides of the football and then the physical aspect is going to come by getting yourself in the right position."
Tulsa will have an off-day Saturday before returning to the practice field Sunday morning on the first padded day.
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.
