  • SHANAHAN: “Kyle Juszczyk Had a Hand Contusion. X-Rays Looked Okay. They Just Told Me They Got It. Raheem Mostert Had a Thigh Contusion on the Last Day of Practice
    Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers Saturday, August 24, 2019 Preseason Game 3 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan SHANAHAN: “Kyle Juszczyk had a hand contusion. X-rays looked okay. They just told me they got it. Raheem Mostert had a thigh contusion on the last day of practice. That is why he did not dress today.” Q: Did you feel good about the first team offense? SHANAHAN: “It was definitely better than the week before and that would have been hard not to do, but it was cool that they got to stay out there longer to get in a little bit of a rhythm. We started off a little rough, but completed a good third down which allowed us to stay on the field some. I thought they had a good first half.” Q: Did you think Jimmy Garoppolo looked more comfortable? SHANAHAN: “Yeah, it is not a big surprise when a guy is out for a long time, especially coming off of an ACL. That is just how football goes sometimes, especially in the preseason. Last week was not nearly as bad as it looked, but it definitely did look that bad live and today everyone was on the same page a little bit better. We moved the chains a couple of times and you just get into a rhythm and you start forgetting about things and playing football.” Q: Do you think Jimmy settled down? SHANAHAN: “I thought so. It looked like it. He definitely missed a couple early, which guys do. That is not always coming off of an injury.

  • 2018 LION FOOTBALL Media Guide the TRANSITION NORTH ALABAMA TRANSITIONS to FCS
    2018 LION FOOTBALL Media Guide THE TRANSITION NORTH ALABAMA TRANSITIONS TO FCS VOTE TO MOVE TO DIVISION I (FCS) CAME IN 2016 • The University of North Alabama Board of Trustees voted on December 6, 2016, to accept an invitation from the ASUN Conference and begin the transition of UNA to an NCAA Division I institution in the Fall of 2018. Thirteen of North Alabama's athletic teams will compete in the ASUN. The UNA football program will compete in the Big South Conference, which formed a football alliance with the ASUN. THE TRANSITION BEGINS AS AN FCS INDEPENDENT • Beginning with the 2018 season, the Lions will be competing as a member of the Division I Football Champi- onship Subdivision (FCS) as an independent. LIONS JOIN THE BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE IN 2019 • North Alabama will be an FCS independent in 2018 before joining the Big South Conference as a member in 2019. The Lions will not be eligible to compete for the Big South football title until the 2022 season. LION FOOTBALL DATES BACK TO 1912 • The University of North Alabama fielded football teams from 1912 to 1928 but the sport was dropped follow- ing the 1928 season. FOOTBALL RETURNED TO FLORENCE IN 1949 For the next 21 years there were several efforts made to return football to the Florence campus by writing let- ters to the administration and gathering names on petitions. Those efforts finally proved successful on March 30, 1949, when President Dr. E.B. Norton held a student assembly to announce that football would return to campus that September.
