FALL CAMP REPORT 4: First Scrimmage In The Books

NORMAL, Ill. – It was a near perfect August morning at Hancock Stadium on Saturday, as the Illinois State football team held its first intrasquad scrimmage of Fall Camp '24. The Redbirds worked for over two hours and ran just short of 140 snaps on the turf at Hancock Stadium, and the scrimmage featured several key sessions including coming off the goal line, driving the field, red zone, two-minute work and special teams periods.

Scoring Summary:
• The first score of the day came via a two-yard touchdown run by freshman running back Matt Lawson, which capped off a 6-play, 66-yard scoring drive that was highlighted by a 43-yard run by Lawson.
