Bucs open spring football drills today

Charleston Southern head football coach Jay Mills seems optimistic about his 2008 Buccaneers being one of the better teams in school history as his squad begins spring football drills today.
The Buccaneers managed only four wins last season after posting 16 wins in the previous two seasons. It was only two seasons ago when CSU won a school-record nine games. Mills sees the same type of potential in his 2008 squad. Potential being the operative word.
"Potential is a good, positive word," said Mills. "We have some good football players returning, some quality additions and what I believe will be excellent leadership. As much as we like the word potential, it's really all about productivity. That's a more important word, and that's where the intangibles lie. We basically have five and a half months to turn potential into productivity."
This spring practice will be all about change, especially on the defensive side of the ball. CSU will have four new defensive coaches, including a new coordinator as former Clemson assistant Thielen Smith takes over this spring.
