WACO, Texas -- The Baylor football team, under the direction of second-year coach Guy Morriss, will report to fall camp as a team on Sunday, Aug. 8, and hold its first practice on Monday, Aug. 9, in preparation for its Sept. 4 season-opener at UAB.
"I think everyone is excited to get on the field and get started," said Morriss, whose team returns 16 starters from a year ago. "The players have worked very hard over the summer and I feel good about the progress they've made in the weight room. They are really starting to buy into what we are trying to accomplish with this program."
The Bears are scheduled to practice daily from 4-6 p.m. Aug. 9-13 before holding the first of four two-a-day practices on Aug. 14, working out from 9:15-11:15 a.m. before returning for a 4-6 p.m. session to close out their first week of camp. This marks the second consecutive year that teams are not allowed to conduct two-a-day practices until after the first five days of fall camp, and after that period, two-a-days may not be conducted on consecutive days. As a result of the two-year-old NCAA rule regarding preseason practice, Baylor will have just four days of double sessions during fall camp.
The week two camp schedule features 10 total practice sessions, including three days (Aug. 16, 18 and 20) of doubles, and will be capped off by Baylor's Meet the Bears Fan Appreciation Day at Floyd Casey Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 21.
All practices are scheduled to be held on the Floyd Casey Stadium practice fields.
