Pirates amp up workouts

Tuesday was what East Carolina head football coach Ruffin McNeill calls a heavy day.

That meant everything was turned up a notch at the team’s training facility, and rightfully so, as Saturday’s season kickoff against Towson loomed a mere matter of days in the future. In keeping with the heavy theme, even after the actual practice ended linemen were barreling into sleds, skill players were fine tuning footsteps and quarterbacks were throwing. A lot.

“I thought we had great reps today and we were very competitive when we went ones on ones,” McNeill said after Tuesday’s workout.
