(Editor’s note: State held an open practice for students on Saturday, and Blane was kind enough to write about it for BTP. Below are Blane’s thoughts from the experience. This is some quality insight from behind the closed doors of training camp. Thanks, Blane!)
The NC State football team held their open practice for students on Saturday, and it was definitely an upgrade from last year. It took place in Carter-Finley instead of the practice fields, they gave out free Bojangles instead of donuts, and basically ran the practice as a game day. The team came out and warmed up for about 45 minutes like they would for a game then ran out of the tunnel and scrimmaged at about 75% speed with a running clock (including a halftime).
