Coach Ron Zook's fifth Fighting Illini football team conducted its annual mid-camp scrimmage Saturday evening at Rantoul Township High School's Bill Walsh Field in front of an estimated crowd of 2,000 fans.
Daniel Dufrene's 80-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage was one of several big plays for the offense. Supo Sanni was one of the top tacklers for the defense. No official stats were kept, but several highlights were noted during the scrimmage on the Illinois Football Twitter page.
