Texas Football: 5 takeaways post-initial spring scrimmage

An exciting showdown for both sides of the ball for Texas football clashed over the weekend for the spring’s first full scrimmage.

The Texas football program got off and running for its full pad scrimmages in spring camp on March 30. It was one of the more fun sets of highlights to watch from Texas football in the midst of spring camp for the past few off-seasons. Knowing that head Texas football coach Tom Herman has this program building in the right direction makes spring practices and highlights like this more relaxing and entertaining to follow.

However, there are some key notes to go over from this first spring scrimmage after the second full week of drills. Full practice spring practice started off a little more than 10 days ago for the Texas football program, and brought a mix of results since. The rash of injuries was a negative to the full pads spring drills, but it is a necessary part of camp.

Some of the players that were actually out on the field for Texas football on the Forty Acres on March 30 put on a show, as the offense topped the defense in this spring scrimmage. There were also a handful of other big names in the college football world on campus on Saturday. Former Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback under Herman Cardale Jones was present on March 30.

If nothing else, the spring scrimmage provided insight as to what the rising contributors for this program are up to at the moment. How the progression is coming along for those players is one of the key parts of spring camp in the first place.

Here’s a look at the five definitive takeaways from the first spring camp scrimmage this off-season for the Texas Longhorns football program from the weekend.
