MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — There was one constant theme while talking to Middle Tennessee's players, coaches and support staff this spring: They were blessed to be back on the gridiron.
It's been well-documented — especially for the last month — how much college football teams suffered from not having spring and summer practice last year. That's why it was so important to be able to slow things down for a few weeks this spring.
"I'm glad that we were able to slow things down and teach this spring, and the guys have had great attitudes and have come to work every day," head coach Rick Stockstill said.
