WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Another beautiful afternoon greeted the Boilermakers Monday as the team held its ninth practice of 2012 Spring Ball.

Spirits were high for the Old Gold and Black as they continued to work on implementing special teams plays, blocking schemes and defensive strategies in preparation for the 2012 season.

Just five more practices remain until the Gold & Black Spring game on April 14 in Ross-Ade Stadium.  After practice, Boilermaker All-Access caught up with two of the stars of spring ball, running back Akeem Shavers and defensive end Ryan Russell, as well as Coach Danny Hope.
