Bulldogs Work Hard, Smart in Two Wednesday Practices

August 11, 2010

STARKVILLE – With on-field temperatures hovering around 108 degrees at practice time on Wednesday afternoon, Mississippi State head football coach Dan Mullen worked his squad inside the climate-controlled Palmeiro Center for the second practice of the day.

The Bulldogs began the day with a full-pad practice on South Farm.

Following a similar routine to Monday, State worked primarily on the running game in the morning session before focusing on the passing game in half pads in the afternoon.

“We got some good work done today,” Mullen said. “We’re starting to see some of our guys developing quite a bit, which is what you want to see this time of year.”

The defense continued to practice with a great deal of enthusiasm, but the offense proved to be steady in red zone drills during both practices.

The Bulldogs return to a once-daily practice schedule on Thursday as they continue working toward the season kickoff against Memphis on Sept. 4.
