School football fans finally get to regain a sense of normalcy tonight... but there will undoubtedly be a few changes.

I spoke with osage football coach ?

"* torian wol*- about what this season will look like.

He says no matter how many punches are thrown at the kids... they keep prevailing.xxx i know it probably frustrates them sometimes like every little thing that we say we've got to change this and that at practice or whatever or in the weightroom and things ?

"* they adapt to it and say hey i want to play a football season, hey, i want to get a lift in so i'm going to do these things so i can do that as the boys of fall return to the gridiron tonight... much will be the same including touchdowns... and hard hits.

But osage head coach torian wolf says there will be some changes.

There's probably going to be lots of people at these games so it's strongly recommended that everybody has masks on and i think that people follow that because it's going to be almost near impossible to social distance and it's going to be for a long period of time.

Fans won't be the only ones masking up... players will too.

We got these for the players... these gater masks so whenever we can't social distance when we're in huddles, halftime and things like that we'll be using our gater masks.

The safety precautions aren't limited to p?

"*e.

A timeo will be taken approximately every eight minutes for sanitation.

Todd tharp has come out and said it's not exactly eight minutes so if we're on a drive and we're on the 10 yard line and we're looking to score, we don't want to kill the momentum and take a timeout right then and there and sit for two minutes and let the other team decide how they're going to stop us on the 10 yard line right?

So it will be up to the referee's discretion.

Keeping athletes safe is a priority.

We'll have a table with all the players water bottles and gatorade bottles or whatever they're bringing to the game to hydrate themselves with their names on it and then we'll have a sanitization
