Texas Longhorns Football: Three things to watch for in the spring game

Texas’ first Orange and White game under Steve Sarkisian is set to take place on Saturday. Here are three things to watch for during it.

Texas’ first Orange and White game under Steve Sarkisian is set to take place on April 24. The format will be slightly different than the way Tom Herman ran the spring game, whereas Sarkisian will put the best players up against each other.

Based on what he learned from his time in Tuscaloosa under Nick Saban, Sarkisian will split the roster into two teams. The first-team offense and second-team defense will be on one squad, while the second-team offense and first-team defense will be on another. This allows players who are considered to be on the same level of the depth chart to square off.

Plenty of storylines will be produced on Saturday. Many will want to see how Sarkisian’s offense performs, even if under restraint. Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense has been dominating in practice, will it continue in a live game action setting?

Here are three things to look for at Texas’ spring game on Saturday.
