Nothing about this offseason has been normal.
But Wednesday marked the beginning of what is at least a familiar feeling for head coach Luke Fickell and the University of Cincinnati Bearcats football team.
The Bearcats again opened fall camp at the Higher Ground Conference and Retreat Center in West Harrison, Indiana.
Fickell, who is entering his fourth season as head coach, said Thursday the priority for his club is doing whatever it needs to do to stay healthy and be ready to play Austin Peay in the season-opener on Sept. 3 at Nippert Stadium.
