2005 Cowboy Football Practice Report #5
Monday, August 8

Oklahoma State continued preseason football workouts with a three hour session in full pads for the first time on the grass practice fields.

There was a lot more contact, and head coach Mike Gundy was impressed by some of the plays the Cowboys made on the defensive side of the ball.

“It was another nice day outside and the guys worked hard,” Gundy said. “I was excited about Grant Jones making some plays on defense. It seems like our defensive line is holding up in the pass rush at the end of the day. It shows that our big guys are in shape and that is good.”

Tomorrow is the first two-a-day practice on the Cowboys preseason schedule. The team will wear full pads in the morning practice at 10:00 a.m., and they will go in shorts and shoulder pads in the evening session beginning at 4:45 p.m. on the grass practice fields.

All workouts are open to the public until August 17.
