USA practice update


Recommended Posts

The South Alabama football team held their first practice of fall camp in earnest on Wednesday under the leadership of first-year Jaguar head coach Major Applewhite.

Applewhite was selected to assume the position after the departure of Kane Wommack. Applewhite, who served as offensive coordinator in all three seasons under coach Wommack, was a natural fit for the position.

Coach Applewhite had previous head coaching experience at Houston where he went 15-11 during his two seasons at the helm. Between Houston and USA, he served as an analyst on Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama. He also served in various coaching positions including offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Texas over the course of five seasons (2008-13) with Mack Brown. His first stint at Alabama was only one season as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2007.

Coach Applewhite and his staff worked hard in the offseason to recruit and fill positions on the roster that either graduated or transferred. His hiring helped to solidify a number of players who tested the waters in the transfer portal after the announcement of Wommack’s departure. But they also brought in a number of player via the portal as well.

Applewhite, who spoke after practice, said that he was pleased with the retention the players demonstrated from spring and summer workouts.

Most books still have the Jags as a 7.5 point favorite.  I think I saw a 6.5 at some random sportsbook, but the odds on this game have been very steady for awhile.  Some might even say the odds are being very kind to us.

And Texas State--coached by G.J. Kinne, the guy against whom everyone is measuring Eric Morris--is predicted to be 1st in that division.  That gives a little added meaning to our first game.
