MIAMI (Aug. 20, 2016) – The FIU football team took part in its final practice of the 2016 fall camp on Saturday morning.
"Camp went really well," Head Coach
Ron Turner said. "Our guys came into camp in excellent condition. We didn't pick up where we left off in the spring, we picked up way ahead of where we were in the spring because of what they accomplished in the summer. (Director of Strength and Conditioning)
Chad Smith, (Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach)
Cory Houston and (Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach) TC (
Thomas Carroll) did a tremendous job getting our guys ready, but more importantly our guys did a great job pushing each other to get in excellent condition. You are going to have a good camp when you come into it in good condition. It shows their focus, maturity and leadership. Because of that, we had a good camp. We've laid down the foundation to go out and play as well as we are capable of playing."
After practice, this year's senior class got together as Saturday marked the group's final fall practice of their collegiate careers.
FIU returns to the field Monday morning at 9:05 a.m. (normal practice time), continuing to prepare for Indiana on Thursday, Sept. 1.
