STATESBORO, Ga. - The unmistakable sound of popping pads permeated the air on the banks of Beautiful Eagle Creek Wednesday morning as the Eagles held their third practice session.
After an hour of teaching schemes, the players got there first taste of contact with every unit of offense and defense going head-to-head in angled tackling drills with the goal of keeping the ball carrier from gaining forward progress.
"It feels good being out there in pads again, so that everyone can get a chance to be physical", said GoDaddy Bowl Offensive MVP Wesley Fields.
