Fall Camp Day Two Notebook

The Southern Illinois football team is two practices into the 2016 football season. The team opened up on Saturday with a split-squad practice (read about that HERE), and the whole team came together on Sunday morning for the first full-team practice of the fall. On both days, players wore only helmets and practice gear. They will practice in full pads later in the week.

After this morning's practice, the team spent the afternoon taking individual, position group and team photos. Be on the lookout for an official 2016 Saluki Football poster later in the week.
