AUBURN- After spending two hours on the practice field
Monday afternoon,
Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville stressed the need for improved
consistency and better
preparation from the Tigers.
"We started to do a little more team work today, and some of the
younger guys' heads
were spinning a little bit," Tuberville said. "We need to do a little
more in the film room. But
that's what practice is for. Overall, it was a good practice."
After working out in full gear during the morning session, the
Tigers spent the afternoon
session in shorts. The Tigers spent the last half hour of the afternoon
practice working on short to
long range field goals.
"We didn't look very good today. The kickers looked liked
everybody else, inconsistent.
But, we'll find somebody who can put the ball across the goalpost,"
Tuberville said.
The Tigers will continue with practice on the intramural field
this week, with all practices
open to the public.
Fan Day will be held Saturday, Aug. 19, from 1 to 3 p.m. in
Beard-Eaves Memorial
Coliseum.

Leard received a
degree in Mass Communications, and will begin graduate school in the
fall. Leard will pursue a
Master's degree in Higher Education Administration and a minor in
Sports Management.

morning practice session.
