What we can learn from 38 seconds of Texas scrimmage highlights
Did y’all know that Cam Coleman has ball skills?
The Texas Longhorns released a 38-second video of their preseason scrimmage on Monday, offering a glimpse into the early stages of the season. The highlights include a contested catch by wide receiver Cam Coleman, who was tackled by nickel back Wardell Mack, and running back Derrek Cooper being stopped by defensive tackle Josiah Sharma.
Tight end Michael Masunas, the projected starter, played with third-team players, including third-team wide receiver Jermaine Bishop and linebacker Kosi Okpala, who showed improvement in running downhill and finishing plays. The scrimmage also featured wide receiver Sterling Berkhalter making a run for it and red-zone interception by safety Jonah Williams.
The video showed the effectiveness of perimeter blocking by Masunas and the burst of Raleek Brown through the hole, while the ability of cornerback Bo Mascoe to beat blocks was of concern. The scrimmage analysis revealed that the defense needs to improve in coverage, as Ryan Wingo's coverage bust was notable. Overall, the scrimmage provided a glimpse into the growing talent of the Longhorns' defense and offense, with potential starters like Masunas, Okpala, and Brown making an impact.
