per Megan:
But that quiet time wasn’t idle time, as Fleck explained. The team returned to light acclimatization workouts last Wednesday, slowly ramping up the intensity. It started with conditioning in small groups outdoors with the facility still on lockdown, then adding in the weight room, then individual instruction, then a walkthrough, finally culminating in a full practice Sunday.
That bodes well for Saturday’s kickoff at Nebraska. That, and Fleck saying there have been no positive cases as of this past Thursday and only two positives in the past seven days — the time frame the Big Ten uses for its shutdown protocols.
“Our players and the guys that were out there did a great job practicing on Sunday and really look forward to playing again,” Fleck said. “It’s never our call whether we play or not but, again, as from this point as of right now, everything changes by the minute, but we plan on playing against Nebraska on Saturday. And we prepared accordingly.”
