Practice 12 Photos | Training Camp Central
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Due heavy rains overnight, Friday's practice was moved from the grass Campus Rec. Field to the turf inside Memorial Stadium, making it the first of two straight practices inside the historic home of Illinois Football. Practice No. 12 of Training Camp went for two hours and 15 minutes and the Illini looked fresh following a day off on Thursday. Several big plays highlighted Friday's action, including two highlight reel passes from AJ Bush to Ricky Smalling and a pick-six by linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips.
