Tigers football hits the practice field for day two of training camp

HOUSTON- Training camp day number two is now in the books for the Texas Southern Tigers football team.

The team took the field today wearing helmets, jerseys, and shorts as they prepare for two-a-day practices and full pads in the upcoming days.

"I think the guys are moving around and competing extremely well," said TSU head coach Darrell Asberry. "Our coaches are getting guys in the positions they need to be in order to make plays. As you can imagine the heat adds another element to our practices but so far the team as a whole has displayed really positive attitudes which is a key ingredient to any successful team."

The upcoming Houston area forecast has temperatures expected to reach triple digits in the upcoming days so competing in the heat is something that the Texas Southern Tigers football will continue to adjust and battle through over the next few weeks of camp.

With new coordinators on both sides of the football TSU benefitted greatly from spring practice sessions this past offseason. A key factor in what Asberry believes will be a special season.

"Having spring ball again was huge for our football team," said Asberry. "It allowed our coaching staff and football team the opportunity to come into camp with the mindset of what we need to work on and the positives we're doing that we can continue to enhance."

Texas Southern will hit the practice field again tomorrow for day three of training camp. The Tigers will practice in full pads for the first time on Monday, August 10^th and will host their first session of two-a-day practices that following day on Tuesday, August 11^th.
