After starting preseason camp last Wednesday, the Texas Longhorns have completed what head coach Steve Sarkisian refers to as the first block — two practices in helmets and shorts and two practices in pads — as well as what Sarkisian deemed the “most difficult practice” of camp on Monday after a day off on Sunday.
“Really across the board a lot of guys have made substantial improvement and continue to make improvement from one practice to the next and so I commended the team on that,” Sarkisian said during a Monday availability.
Sarkisian and his staff are now devoting time to situational football, introducing red zone work on Monday after previously incorporating third downs.
