UR seeks bounce-back win against Hampton

RICHMOND, Virginia --If jest is required to rouse the football team he captains, Austin Gund has no problem playing the fool. The University of Richmond senior center sings at 7 a.m. on Tuesdays.

The Spiders practiced on Tuesday morning before last week’s game at Virginia because of high heat that afternoon. Coach Danny Rocco liked the results, and determined Tuesday drills would start at 7 a.m. for the rest of the season.

“Sometimes those morning practices get to be a little dull. Everybody’s still kind of asleep,” said Gund, a captain for three years.
