Marshall Football: Practice report day 5

After four days of running around without pads Marshall University's football team finally had a chance to hit someone Friday afternoon. In there first full squad practice the Thundering Herd strapped on shoulder pads and got after each other.

According to Derek Redd of the Charleston Daily Mail multiple fights broke out during today's session. One scuffle between linebacker Raheem Waiters and running back Remi Watson lasted multiple rounds. 

Speaking of Waiters, the West Virginia native is tightening his grip on the starting strong side linebacker spot. Charleston Daily Mail reporter Doug Smock spoke with Waiters after practice and it appears the former high school wide receivers transition to defense is almost complete. 

Practicing as one unit for the first time Marshall's depth chart became more defined Friday. Over at GoHerd.com Woody Woodrum puts together his version of the first and second team at every position.

Tomorrow the Herd will compete in it's first inter-squad scrimmage this August. Admission is limited to season ticket holders, Big Green members, and Choose-A-Seat participants. Gates open at 10am.
