San Diego State put on full pads for the first time on Saturday morning for the
third practice of the spring season. Several hundred fans took advantage of the
first open practice of the season to catch a glimpse of the 2009 Aztecs (the
next three Saturday practices are also scheduled to be open to the public).
GoAztecs.com caught up with Coach Brady Hoke and several Aztec student-athletes
following the third practice in four days.
Head Coach Brady Hoke On The First Day In Pads
"With the pads on, we got a little more of an indication of what we're like as a
team and we've got a ways to go. We have to be a lot more crisp and take care of
the ball better. Defensively, we have to play a lot better up front, but that's
what spring ball is all about. I think we'll play faster when we are a little
more settled with offense and defense and what we're doing."

Head Coach Brady Hoke Quotes
"It's good
to get back on the field," Hoke said. "We've done a lot of winter conditioning
and those type of (preparations) trying to get ourselves stronger and build some
endurance and competitiveness. We have a long, long way to go, but I thought the
kids did a nice job and gave good effort.
"(Spring practice) is really the second phase of the development of our team.
Our kids have to know the expectations that we're going to have on a daily
basis. You're teaching - you're always a coach every day - and you're trying to
get guys to understand accountability to each other and playing as a team."
