CHAMPAIGN — Good evening and welcome to the second preseason camp practice for the Illinois program for the 2025 season in the fifth campaign of Illini head coach Bret Bielema that is one of eight practices that will begin under the lights in Memorial Stadium.
Exactly like Friday night, tonight was simply a 30-minute viewing period after the team stretching pre-practice period but, as per usual, did not involve any full-team activities but highlighted the individual positional work early in this camp. In accordance with NCAA and Big Ten Conference rules, Friday’s practice and tonight’s practice was just in helmets, shorts and spider pads (basic cushioned pads that are used on non-contact days) so there’s obviously nothing to be gleamed from the line-of-scrimmage play.
