NASHVILLE, Tenn. -
The first scrimmage of fall camp on a beautiful Saturday morning marked the end of the first week of practice for Tennessee State. After a good day of practice on Friday, the offense struggled a bit at time on Saturday.
"I was a little disappointed in our offensive production," head coach Rod Reed said. "Not so much overall, but we threw three interceptions today. That's not good by any standard. We've got to protect the football and we've got to keep the football off the ground."
On the flip side, Reed said that he was pleased with the production from the defense.
"We got after it a bit on defense today. We had two or three sacks, three picks. Anytime you get that kind of output from your defense, that's a good day for you," he said.
Even though the weather conditions were perfect, that's not necessarily great for getting the players in shape for the upcoming season.
"Mother Nature has been pretty good to us," said Reed. "That's why you see us conditioning a lot more after practice. Normally on a two-a-day you wouldn't condition, but the elements were so great today, we had to get some conditioning in after practice. I feel real comfortable where we are shape wise. Our guys did a good job this summer running."
