Why Blake Anderson thinks Southern Miss football has a long way to go after spring game

Southern Miss football coach Blake Anderson was clear that his team is far from its finished product at the spring game . Anderson, in his first year as head coach, and the Golden Eagles closed out spring practice with a display of drills and scrimmage plays for fans at M. M.

Roberts Stadium on April 18. “It’s been a good month of work, absolutely needed work,” Anderson said. “Still a long ways to go.

If you watched today you can see, but I’m pleased with how we’re progressing. We need all the time that we still have available to try to get ready for the season, but we’ve come a long way from January to now. ” Anderson pointed out that the main challenge this spring has been bringing together a team of completely new faces.

The Golden Eagles have 67 new players, and the only returning starter is offensive lineman Broderick Roman. Anderson pointed out that with so many new players, a starting job is up for grabs at almost every position. Three quarterbacks – Illinois transfer Ethan Hampton and returners John White and Landry Lyddy – took reps with the first team throughout the scrimmage.
