With classes starting on Monday, the Texas Longhorns ended preseason camp on Saturday with the month’s second scrimmage that featured more than 150 plays, a critical practice as the staff works to determine the two-deep depth chart for the season opener against the Rice Owls later this week.
In a media availability on Monday, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian noted that the Longhorns emerged from Saturday’s scrimmage without any injuries — after nearly three weeks of practice, sophomore running back Savion Red’s sprained shoulder is the only significant injury sustained by Texas.
“As far as the scrimmage directly goes, I thought defensively they had a good scrimmage and I think it started with their energy that they brought, really good positive energy for one another in it, and it showed — a lot of defense is about effort, it’s about attitude,” Sarkisian said.
