NEW ORLEANS - Tulane's football team began the third and final week of Fall Camp on Monday with a pair of practices to prepare for the upcoming season that gets underway Sept. 3 against Southeastern Louisiana in the Louisiana Superdome.
The day began with a 24-period practice at the Saints Practice Facility in full pads.
"It went well in the Saints facility this working. We actually ended early because the tempo was so good," Tulane head coach Bob Toledo said. "We went through our script and finish one period ahead of time. There has been pretty good focus, pretty good attention to detail and pretty effort. Now we are starting to get a couple players back and hopefully in another week, week and a half, we will be ready to go."
The Green Wave spent the afternoon practice outside at the Westfeldt Facility for 18 periods of work in shells and began to turn some attention to the SLU Lions.
"We have started a little bit on (Southeastern Louisiana)," Toledo said. "I don't like to do a whole bunch this early because you can kind of get stale, but you have to do enough to wet their appetite. We will do a little bit every day. We don't have to put the whole game-plan in because we have two weeks."
Tulane formally kicks off the 2011 season on Saturday, Sept. 3, when the Green Wave play host to Southeastern Louisiana at 2:30 p.m. in the Louisiana Superdome. Season and individual-game ticket sales are currently for sale through the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the James W. Wilson, Jr., Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.
