Faulkner head football coach Jim Nichols used Thursday's practice to prepare his Eagles for next weekend's meeting with NCAA D-I Samford University.
"We have to fine-tune our special teams to get ready for Samford," Nichols said. "You can win games with special teams because of momentum and change of possession. Against Samofrd, we really don't want to mess it up on special teams."
Nichols also wants to make improvements over last year's performance on first down. "We have got to do better on first down this year over last year. We have to find a way to keep our offense on the field longer."
Nichols also noted that he was pleased with Thursday's performance by defensive tackle Ivan Freeman of Dothan, and defensive back Anthony Haywood of Montgomery.
The Eagles begin the season at Samford in Birmingham at 6 p.m. Sept. 6.
