From media release...
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team was back on the practice field Monday, and the first practice time on the new turf at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
"It was fun for the guys to be on the turf. I thought the turf really held up well. It managed well. They'll brush it again today and pack it down. The rain will probably be good to help settle the infill in the turf," said Tulsa Head Coach Philip Montgomery.
"I thought we had good competition today. There was some good give and take. We had some good plays offensively, we also had some good plays defensively. At this stage in fall camp that's kind of what you're looking for – you don't want one side to be dominating the other – and right now you want that competition, it means your team is growing in the way you want it to grow," said Montgomery. "I think we have to be more consistent. Now with our level of play, we have too many ups and downs. We have to more consistent across the board on both sides."
Tulsa is off on Tuesday for the annual downtown luncheon and team photo day. The Hurricane will be back on the practice field Wednesday morning.
