The football team took the field for their fifth fall football practice on Tuesday morning where players wore full pads for the first time this pre-season. They participated in conditioning and light-contact drills.

The defense has performed well this fall, and this practice was no different. In 11-on-11 drills, no running back was safe on rushing plays, and turnovers were consistently generated through intense pressure up the middle.
