Pat Fitzgerald press conference notes: False positive test, camp starting and new schedule

Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald addressed the media following the publication of the new 2020 Big Ten schedule and the news of Northwestern’s first positive COVID-19 test.

Opening Statement: “We had an awesome practice here this morning. We look forward to camp here today. We had our first helmets practice in a modified way. The guys are really excited and fired up for the start of it. It seems like it’s been a long road to get to this point. We had everybody that we expected to be at practice at practice today. We did make a decision to pause workouts early in the week, but we found out everybody came back negative.
