HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss football coach Will Hall began his fourth fall camp Wednesday with a morning two-hour, 20-minute workout at the Joe P. Park Practice Facility.
The Golden Eagles worked in the NCAA-mandated helmets and shorts for the first practice that was conducted under hot, sunny skies.
"It was a solid first day," said Hall. "We're practicing without pads, so I don't love that. We saw a lot of carryover from spring ball through the summer and were able to do a lot of offense and a lot on defense today.
The squad featured 115 players at the start of camp, including 75 from the state of Mississippi.
"One day down, we've got to continue to improve, and we've got a lot of things to work on," said Hall. "Like y'all have heard me say, I like our roster and we've got a bunch of good kids that are really talented, and a lot of people wanted them to play for them. We've just got to continue to get better as a group. I'm looking forward to watching this tape and looking forward to tomorrow."
The Golden Eagles return 34 letterwinners from a season ago, including three offensive starters, five defensive starters and four on special teams.
Southern Miss returns to the practice field Thursday morning for their second helmet and shorts workout to open fall drills.
