The Pittsburg State University football team will open its 2008 spring drills next Monday, March 10. The Gorillas will have a total of 15 practice days, including a pair of scrimmages during their spring campaign.
Pitt State will practice four times the week of March 10, before taking a week off as spring break hits the PSU campus.
The Gorillas will practice 11 more times during the weeks of March 24, March 31and April 7. Pitt State will host its annual Lawnchair Scrimmage on April 5 at 10 a.m. and the Gorillas will conclude spring drills with the Spring Game on April 12 at 11 a.m.
Both scrimmages will take place at "The Pitt," Brandenburg Field/Carnie Smith Stadium.
PSU head coach Chuck Broyles will welcome about 105 players into the spring camp. The Gorillas anticipate returning 13 starters (six offense, seven defense) from last year's squad, which posted an 8-3 overall record.
"This always is an exciting time of the year to get back on the field," said Broyles. "The spring season plays a key role in the development of our football team. With some new faces on our coaching staff, spring drills certainly are important to meshing everyone together.
Our coaching staff will be evaluating new players as well as underclassmen who are fighting for frontline spots on either side of the ball."
Broyles has posted a 182-39-2 (.821) record in 18 seasons as head coach. He will return with offensive coordinator Tim Beck and defensive coordinator Dave Wiemers, along with Lance Cullen, who will oversee defensive secondary, John Pierce, in charge of running backs, Carl Roth, heading up inside linebackers, and Steve Wells, who is in charge of the offensive line.
