First Day of Practice for 2010 Weber State Football Goes Well Add Comment    Aug 06, 2010

Practice #1 - Friday, August 6th

 Coach Ron McBride and his staff welcomed 90 players (the NCAA Division I FCS allowable number) to the first day of practice.   The team was divided up into two groups with the first group going from 8:50-10:10 and the second group going from 10:30 to 11:50. 

    Fridays practice session was held on the field in Stewart Stadium due to the 2010 World Archery Cup championships. The preliminary rounds on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are being held on the football practice field and the womens soccer field. ...  Saturdays practice sessions will also be held in Stewart Stadium. 

    Temperatures in the mid 80s, combined with high humidity, sent players, coaches and media members searching for water on numerous occasions. 

     I liked what I saw today, said McBride. Strength wise we are in tremendous shape. Running wise I was a little disappointed, but a lot of new players have come from sea level and it always takes them a week to adjust. 

     McBride gave praise to his quarterbacks who looked sharp in the helmet-only drills and liked what he saw in his offensive line. On the defensive side he was impressed how quickly some of the young defensive lineman were staying focused and learning.
