With warm weather and a bright sun shining down on Joan C. Edwards Stadium, many Marshall football fans hoped that Wednesday marked the beginning of a bright future.

Marshall football began spring practice; the first practices under new head coach Doc Holliday.

With players in practice jerseys and shorts, it may be hard to take a good look into the future, but for Holliday it was just about getting started.

“You can’t tell a whole lot about them in shorts,” Holliday said. “But the one thing we were trying to accomplish today was trying to get the offense and defense installed and work on some phases of the kicking game.”

As Holliday was working on installing a new system, it seemed like he was also working on teaching the team a new tempo.

Players were told to sprint through every drill and every play ran during the practice and some players were going through extra conditioning drills.
