CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The Fighting Illini football team held training camp practice No. 2 Saturday afternoon. The squad practiced for just over two hours in shorts and helmets on a hot morning at the Campus Recreation Fields east of Memorial Stadium at Florida Ave. and Goodwin Ave. in Urbana (MAP).

"I thought they looked great yesterday. There are some things there, that, as they work through training camp, I'm sure they'll continue to come together. I thought for a first day it was pretty exciting."
