Head coach Jackie Sherrill gave the offical welcome Monday to more than 100 students beginning fall football practice at MSU. Sherrill and his assistants immediately began preparing the 85 scholarship-student athletes and 20 walk-ons for the Aug. 30 nationally televised opening game with the University of Oregon. The Oregon game is among six to be played at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field--including the nationally televised 100th gridiron contest with Mississippi on Thanksgiving Day.
