NORMAL, Ill. – Following an off day on Wednesday for the team's annual Media/Photo Day, the Redbird football team returned to the field on Thursday and not only were temperatures increased, but so was the intensity. With full pads on, the team battled through a gritty, tough two-hour workout at Hancock Stadium as fall training camp reached the halfway point.
Practice Highlights:
• After the individual position drills took pace, the passing under pressure and blitz drills followed, as the pressure ramped up resulting in tense competition all over the field. During the PUP drill, Tommy Rittenhouse started off strong with three-straight completions to Wenkers Wright and Daniel Sobkowicz.
