GRAMBLING, La. (AP) DeVante Kincade was bouncing around a humid basketball gym in August, wiping sweat from his forehead while trying to sink 3-pointers. With a football.
Grambling’s senior quarterback was about to help lead a football practice on hardwood courts after torrential downpours the night before had left the Tigers’ practice fields unplayable. Receivers occasionally slipped and fell to the floor while running their routes because of condensation on the surface.
This scene would certainly be unlikely at most Southeastern Conference schools – many have indoor football practice facilities. And Kincade knows firsthand about the immaculate SEC digs after playing two seasons at Mississippi.
But the former Ole Miss backup QB and his teammates believe what they have at Grambling more than makes up for whatever they might be missing.
