The Fort Hays State Tigers open their season Thursday night at home against Emporia State and one player who will be especially glad to be on the field is Marshall Musil. The former La Crosse standout is finishing up his career with the Tigers after four years at Oklahoma.

Musil injured his knee following the Sooners second game last season and missed the rest of the year. He says he’s just happy to be back on the football field.
