Everything is headed in the right direction.
Players and coaches are on campus, workouts have begun and footballs are sailing through the air.
Whether any of that continues — by the time preseason camp is officially set to begin in early August or by September when the regular season, albeit a shortened one, is supposed to begin — is anybody’s guess.
For now, though, Mel Tucker and his staff are at least getting a few hours a week with their team, hours the first-year coach and his assistants missed out on when spring practice as wiped out because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
