Fall Camp Report 7: The End Is Near

NORMAL, Ill. – The Redbirds took the field for the final time in full pads Thursday morning at Hancock Stadium, before Saturday's annual Red-White scrimmage officially caps off 2019 fall training camp workouts and the focus shifts to gameplanning for the season opener at Northern Illinois.

Practice Highlights:

  • After individual drills, a live kickoff return period was the special teams focus of the day as Christian Uphoff and Kacper Rutkiewicz took the first rotation with Uphoff picking up a 30-yard return … however the highlight of the session was a 95-yard touchdown return by Charles Woods as he evaded defenders and came across the field for the score.
