NORMAL, Ill. – For the first time this fall, the Redbird football team heard head Coach Brock Spack utter the crucial phrase "We Are Live!" signifying the team's first full-contact drill of training camp, as full pads went on for the first time Tuesday morning at Hancock Stadium. Tuesday's workout focused on work in the Red Zone and featured three specific situations during the team period at the end of the practice.
Practice Highlights:
• Practice began with the special teams circuit and position drills, before the passing under pressure drill … the defense made the first play of the session as Cam Wilson broke up the first pass attempt of the drill … Jake Rubley rebounded with two-straight completions before giving way to Tommy Rittenhouse at quarterback, who started three-for-three before being sacked by Jalan Gaines.
