Knights finishing up Spring practice
With the year coming to a close, the Knights football team will finish up their spring practice on Friday.
"They've really learned a bunch and we've had great improvement in the retention," Mullins said. "I couldn't ask for a better bunch of guys to work with."
After three weeks of practice in the Texas heat, Mullins said his team is coming along.
"I think our defensive line has really improved, our offensive line is really coming together and our three quarterbacks have been working hard," Mullins said. "From that standpoint, it's really all I can ask for."
The Knights will open their 2010 season in the 12th Annual Dave Campbell's Texas Football Classic in San Antonio on Aug. 28 against Georgetown.
Along with the offense and defense making improvements, Mullins said his team is looking more complete as the spring has gone on.
"We've worked hard on our kicking game this spring and that has really come along," Mullins said. "We feel like we are much farther ahead."
