SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Wofford College football team returned to the field on Tuesday night to open spring practice. It was the first of fourteen scheduled practices for the Terriers.
 
On the first day the Terriers worked out in helmets on the lower practice fields for two hours. The practice focused primarily on the fundamentals. Team schemes were implemented on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
 
"It was good to be back out here," said Josh Conklin, who enters his fifth season as head coach.  "It was a good start and the guys had great energy. We have a long way to go as we put in a new offense and a new defensive system. We are reinstalling everything and it is a complete reboot from top to bottom. For some of our guys that have been here for two years, this is the first real winter cycle of training that they have had. It has made a big difference with some of our young guys to give them time to get bigger, stronger and gain confidence."
 
Overall team looks to return sixteen starters – six on offense, eight on defense and two specialists – from last season. On the injury front, approximately 15 players were held out or limited in practice.
 
The Terriers will return to the field on Thursday and Saturday to complete the first week of practice.
