PRATTVILLE, Ala. - Jay Jacobs says when he walked on to the Auburn football team as a 205-pound offensive lineman in February of 1981, Coach Pat Dye told the players, ‘We’re developing you physically, mentally and spiritually.’”
This was back in the day before the 20-hour rule, which limits student-athletes’ practice time.
“We had four-a-days,” Jacobs said Thursday morning at the Prattville YMCA. “We were killing so much grass we had to go the baseball field at night and practice on the outfield.”
The physical development Jacobs understood.
