TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The Indiana State football team held the first of 14 spring practices Tuesday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. The Sycamores return nearly every starter from the offensive side of the ball and six starters from a much-improved defensive unit.
Third year head coach Curt Mallory was named the Missouri Valley Football Conference Coach of the Year at the conclusion of last season. Mallory and his staff completed the biggest turnaround in college football, leading the Sycamores to a 7-4 record, a third-place finish in the MVFC and a No. 22 national ranking.
