Well ever want to already Sparage that Texas longhorns finish twelve and one last season good not for fourth in the AP poll and this past weekend they held their annual spring game and Austin. And get a feel for the horns were joined by Eric Hampton burnt orange beat dot com. By the scout dot com network in Jerry Heisman oracle court and exactly put up Heisman type numbers against his own deep down to -- Eleven of 24 for 95 yards. It was a case of the deep threats being out of the offense or. If they record Justin wanted to show up is the --

Yeah I think the companies and a few things first off -- about 4530 mile an hour win on Sunday Wednesday. And it kind of a crawl in swirling winds -- The best. They conditions pro football and it'll -- you know unless of course one thought he graduated. -- Jordan Shipley sent out this burying he getting LP. So he was working with basically a lot of new receivers. They kept an injury that tied him position that our you know. He wasn't there -- some time -- that he was on the same page with -- call and James Kirk and ball to the -- will be key issue they were talking after plays. They a couple report draw mixed in there as well he was -- there -- two minute drill in the past. But -- he wouldn't you saw some good ball double bald win took out of bounds on -- all. Yet it got Paul or Ralph the -- would've been a touchdown. The age of battery by receivers and you looking -- ball pretty well now he's cook it broke Thomas who has won an award to make the best defensive back -- take -- Made a great read picked it -- for turner about forty yards for a touchdown. The Eaton got him on a couple plays that you don't -- the ball pretty well windy day and I still being. He's gaining timing down with some receivers there --

I know the team's got a three way battle going at running back between -- Whitaker and Cody Johnson hit any of those guys stand -- maybe move a step closer becoming the number one guy.

You know I interestingly enough broad each also looked kind of the guy they that that the coaches were talking about you get everybody else was. The leader in the clubhouse so to speak. He pulled hamstring missed whispering game wasn't able to go he missed the last week we can ask for practices. And hardly Whitaker who thought they get the best were turning back. He was -- law and on in the spring he played. On Sunday in -- scrimmage just or eleven yard touchdown run eat the quickest he had the most burst of the back all the you know Roger would -- longest -- you know a consistent guy. He -- score a touchdown you know actors worked out of the Islanders general more than they have in the past the work no matter that aspect of it. And you know it's pretty easy -- operate those backs -- I bat died down -- back since high school so I think it's worse the who's gonna start next year I think it's up in the year I think Jody Johnson had really come on. You know bought the problem is that injury problems throughout as -- technical I think he -- a clerk at number one right now.

On the other side of the ball Texas defensive coordinator will must champ has been preaching takeaways. To a squad after the -- had just six interceptions last season. And as you mentioned I guess the.

They it and you know I think one of the key moves. It in the -- At what -- what you actually want they want the guys in the secondary. To make more plays on the ball Venus plays and interceptions. Eric Williams is a freshman who play the nickel back last year. Moved to the corner opposite Shockey brown had a great spring he played some nickel Sunday he -- and yet the best ball still on the team. I think that's going to make them immediately better in coverage. Finishing play -- brown the best cover guy they have Earle Palmer that the interception. -- for the -- he position he played some nickel. In the and you got a -- Christians gotten played sparingly as a freshman he had a -- moment need to -- as he jumped into the mix. And a third quarter Curtis Brown as a talented kid that's what it's just kind of way of life -- and so he's he's so he really -- Lives up there bill yeah but I think the secondary going to be vastly improved next year the -- will be -- at the the same pass rush they got here a year ago lose an rock -- you know well Roy Miller that bureau. I mean they got -- they got to replenish and replaced on the defense a lot but also tell the guys. They're -- some of those guys going to step up and help the secondary out there ought to cover all.

We'll get a -- the scrimmage and practices in general what letter grade would you give coach Mack Brown's team right now.

I think it always thought this -- I mean everything was really Vanilla. You know I I think but there areas that reject is realistic I would I would invite people us you know on the way. One looking -- you know we're a -- sort. And you also know what -- the -- opposition got that the step up defensive tackle they have to step up I think on the uptight imposition match began helping one. And then find a mix of guys to. You know I think on the offensive side the often don't -- I think they need to get a little more push it's more I think its corporate attitude internal thing. I think they Gilmore pushed -- more aggressive downhill in the running game -- those areas. -- can work on an improved edited next year I you know it exactly right that a top three in the country and I think that is built to just Jamaica -- rather than national championship.

Well with Colt McCoy coming back and all they have high hopes in Austin Jerry thanks so much for being with us. Lamar spring football knows for your -- blog on the scout dot common for all the latest college football videos. Log out of foxsports.com. I'm ready Sparage thanks look at.
