Two-a-days arrive for Golden Tigers
TUSKEGEE, Ala. (goldentigersports.com) — The Tuskegee University Golden Tigers are inching closer to the end of camp as classes begin Thursday morning in Tuskegee.
The Golden Tigers put in their first two-a-day practice, going early Thursday morning and followed that up with a hard fought 110-minute practice in the afternoon. In the morning practice, the team used the session to go through all phases of the kicking game, and walked through each stage.
In the afternoon, every period featured a competition between the offense and defense. The team came together for one-on-one competition midway through practice, with each side of the ball declaring victory on every play.
The team then went through passing game drills with the defensive backs and receivers, while the interior line worked on the running game and stopping the run. The Golden Tigers came together at the end of the practice for about 15 minutes worth of team drills before calling it a day.
The team will continue through camp tomorrow before classes, and opens the season on the road at Clark Atlanta September 3. Kick off time for the season opener is 7 pm (eastern) and the game will be carried on the American Sports Network.
