Football Hits the Practice Field

BEAUMONT, Texas – It has been a long time coming, but the Lamar University football team stepped on field Friday for their first official preseason workout. The 2020-21 academic year will go down as a unique one for the LU football program. Due to the ongoing precautions with the COVID-19 virus, the Southland Conference pushed the start of the football season from the fall semester to the spring. That decision flip-flopped the normal progression of football within the league – the Cardinals held their "spring camp" during the fall semester, with preseason camp officially now under way.
