Three takeaways from this week’s spring football practice

Head coach Tom Herman said the culture at UH is about being physical and mentally tough, while competing on each and every snap.

“Stuff that the NCAA makes us do those first couple practices in shorts is good to get guys running around, but this is real football and it’s good to see the pads popping,” Herman said. “We livetackled quite a bit. It was good to see some new faces out there too especially on defense running around hitting people.”

Herman said his main focus for this week’s practice was effort and ball security.

“The fanatical effort with which we practice rep after rep, period after period, minute after minute,” Herman said.
