HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Perfect spring weather helped Southern Miss kick off its fourth spring drills under coach Will Hall Tuesday morning at the Joe P. Park Practice Facility.
The Golden Eagles welcomed 29 newcomers to the practice fields as well as a new offensive and defensive coordinator in Chip Long and Clay Bignell, respectively.
Hall liked the way his team came out to practice for its initial workout as he used the word urgency to describe the team's mood as it started drills. The Golden Eagles began implementing new schemes on both sides of the ball.
"I was proud of how we competed today," said Hall. "There was a sense of urgency in every room that if you don't want to come out and compete, there is someone that will beat you out."
One group that enthuses Hall is the group of offensive linemen that features 15 Golden Eagles, including 12 returners in the mix for playing time this spring.
"I am excited about where we have a chance to go with our offensive line, with the depth and competition there and just the want to and grit," said Hall. "It is stronger and greater than what it's been."
The Golden Eagles return to the practice fields Thursday morning for the second of their 15 NCAA allowed practices during the spring.
