Coach Luke Fickell discusses UC football's first scrimmage of training camp Fletcher Page, fpage@enquirer..com
The Cincinnati football team returned to campus from Higher Ground Saturday for a scrimmage at Nippert Stadium.
While the session would be better described as full-contact, managed periods of evaluation, the first-string offense went against the second-team defense and vice versa for plenty of work. Younger players and those gunning for spots in the two-deep received as many reps as possible, too.
"Just want to put them in situations where they have to react, where they have to be able to handle some adversity and emotion, especially when they're really tired," UC head coach Luke Fickell said.
