MSU Football Hits Crucial Stretch

Mike Kramer sees one particular stretch of spring football practice each year that he finds the most important and telling.
For Kramer and the Bobcats, the time is now. "Practices four through six," Kramer said, "are the most important time of the spring for players that haven't played yet, redshirts and transfers. We lean heavy on insertion in the first three practices. In the next three, players really have to adapt to what they've learned, process a lot of information, think on their feet. Players that have trouble with that, I can usually predict, are going to struggle in the fall."
Kramer is pleased with the passion and intensity shown by his team in the first three practice sessions of the spring, particularly during Saturday's first contact practice. "I don't know how good this team will be, but I've seen what kind of heart it has. This team comes to work and play hard every day, and that's a good characteristic."
The Bobcats will practice Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this week before Saturday's scrimmage in Great Falls at 5 pm.
