What we know from the video:
- Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Casey Cain was shown making several catches.
- Redshirt freshman safety BJ Allen forced a fumble by freshman running back CJ Baxter, who was a little bit loose with his ball security. Another play showed Baxter getting into the open field on a run.
- Freshman quarterback Arch Manning was playing with the second-team offense when he was stopped by senior linebacker David Gbenda while redshirt freshman quarterback Maalik Murphy was shown completing a pass to a walk-on wide receiver with the third team.
- Junior Jack end Barryn Sorrell has gained 16 pounds since arriving at Texas and now absolutely looks the part.
