Ohio Football Begins Spring Practice

The Ohio University football team opened its 2000 spring practice February 17 on the practice fields across from Peden Stadium. The Bobcats have 15 practice sessions scheduled over the next three and a half weeks, culminating in a spring scrimmage on Saturday, March 11.

"Our players are excited to be out practicing," said Head Coach Jim Grobe. "They were a little apprehensive at first about the early start and the cool weather, but they are having fun right now. It's just good to get back into the swing of things again."

Coach Grobe also explained how important spring practice is, especially to the red-shirt freshmen. "We have 20 players who red-shirted last year and this lets us a good look at them. They were on the scout team last year so they didn't get to learn our schemes and our system. We can really work on teaching them our offense and defense and getting them into the mix."

Coach Grobe enters his sixth season at the Bobcat helm, ranking fifth on Ohio's all-time coaching victories chart. He guided the 1999 squad to its fourth-straight winning MAC season. It marks the first time in over 30 years that Ohio recorded winning MAC seasons in four consecutive years.

Ohio opens the 2000 season at Iowa State on Thursday, August 31.
