Football Resumes Spring Drills After Hiatus
STARKVILLE, Miss. - Head football coach Dan Mullen welcomed his Mississippi
State football team back to the practice fields here on Thursday for the first
time in two weeks, and the Bulldogs picked up right where they left off prior to
spring break.
"It definitely wasn't like the first day," Mullen said. "We're much further
along, but this is the first time we've ever had this long of a break, so we'll
see on Saturday (the team's first scrimmage) how it effected us."
The break did take a little steam out of the Bulldogs crispness
however.
"We were sloppy at times," Mullen said. "There's a little bit of rust after
the break, but we'll get that out today and tomorrow."
The Bulldogs return to the practice fields on Friday afternoon before the
first spring scrimmage on Saturday at noon. All practices are open to the
public.
