NORMAL, Ill. – A remarkable run of great weather to start training camp once again met the Illinois State football team on Saturday morning, as the Redbirds put on shoulder pads for their first light contact of camp at Hancock Stadium. The Redbirds will have two more practices in shells (helmets and shoulder pads only), before their first fully-padded full contact practice on Tuesday.
Practice Highlights:
• As usual, practice began with an installation period for both the offense and defense, before the full team stretch period and a brief special teams circuit that focused on the punt coverage teams.
