REPLAY: Texas wraps spring football with Orange-White game
Posted April 15th, 2017
The Texas football spring game, or the Orange-White Game, is here! Tom Herman leads the Longhorns in front of Texas football fans for the first time as head coach as spring football comes to an end.
Follow the action here!
3:27 p.m.: And that’s a wrap!
Defense stuffs Toneil Carter, and the Orange (defense) escapes with a 52-51 win over the White (offense). We'll see you on Sept. 2. #HookEm

3:26 p.m.:
Looks like it is time for 4th-and-goal drills with 5 of Texas' 6 scholarship RBs (and D'Onta Foreman) not in uniform. #HookEm

Cannon goes off and the fans start heading toward the exit… but we're not done yet. Tom Herman with the pump fake. #HookEm pic.twitter.com/7T69NTLfy4

3:20 p.m.:
Not a bad day for the three early-enrollees from 2017 class. Carter looked promising, Ehlinger showed flashers & Rowland was 3-for-3.
— Mike Craven (@CravenMike) April 15, 2017
3:19 p.m.:
It's 82 degrees outside, but Tom Herman attempted to ice his kicker in a spring game. Joshua Rowland still hits from 31 out. #HookEm

2:33 p.m.:
Second half begins, and it's mostly third-teamers and walk-ons. Sporadic updates from here on out, should they be warranted.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
2:32 p.m.:
We are back at DKR. The pride of East View High, Josh Covey will open the second half at QB. #HookEm

In six series, Shane Buechele has produced two TDs, two FGs, two punts.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
2:08 p.m.:
Buechele caps a two-minute drill with a 29-yard TD pass to Johnson, who beat Cuffee. Didn't see any safety help over the top, either.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
Collin Johnson catches his second TD pass of the day. The man's got star quality.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
Good, quick feet from Collin Johnson on the swing route then a nice 29-yard TD catch. Really like this wideout.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 15, 2017
Shane Buechele runs and then tosses to Reggie Hemphill-Mapps to end the Texas D's 3-and-out streak at 5. We're in the 2-minute drill #HookEm
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) April 15, 2017
2:03 p.m.:
5 straight now (3 Ehlinger, 2 Buechele). https://t.co/iv4yUbTjMF
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) April 15, 2017
2:00 p.m.:
Have to say, I'd like to see Jerrod Heard catching punts this fall.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
1:58 p.m.: Texas has a new football coach, someone should tell the merchandise vendors.

Jerrod Heard takes a turn at returning punts.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
Ehlinger just goes three-and-out against Texas' No. 1 defense. No TD drives yet from the freshman in six possessions.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
Scoreboard says its a 24-24 game at DKR. My notepad says it's 43-18, White. I am so bad at math and non-traditional scoring systems. #HookEm pic.twitter.com/WH612E0QaY

1:50 p.m.:
DL Charles Omenihu with a good read on a Toneil Carter run. -2 loss. #HookEm

1:49 p.m.:
Sam Ehlinger's yet to produce a TD or a FG in his five possessions against the No. 1s.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
1:47 p.m.:
Armanti Foreman just let a ball roll past him to the two-yard line. Two really bad decisions in punt return. Has to be smarter. #hookem
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 15, 2017
1:46 p.m.:
Very unofficially Sam Ehlinger is 4 for 14 but going against No. 1 defense.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
1:44 p.m.:
I'd say this is Ehlinger's best throw by far, a back-shoulder connection to Dorian Leonard. https://t.co/MQOyu6yyFG
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
1:42 p.m.:
Excellent step-up in the pocket from Sam Ehlinger and a nice throw to Dorian Leonard on the sideline. #hookem
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 15, 2017

Sam can't escape the Lake Travis/Westlake rivalry. https://t.co/LpJ87LfIzy
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) April 15, 2017
1:37 p.m.:
Joshua Rowland is 2-2 on FGs after a 27-yard kicker. FWIW, Jak Holbrook is deep snapping and Michael Dickson is holding. #HookEm
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) April 15, 2017
Yet another Longhorn FG. Offense is rolling. Buechele actually looks great. So do the WRs.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
1:35 p.m.:
Buechele with a pin-point rocket to Lil'Jordan Humphrey.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
1:34 p.m.:
Toneil Carter alllllmost broke off a 58-yard run. Tripped up after 16 with nobody to beat, though. #HookEm
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) April 15, 2017
1:33 p.m.:
Another terrific throw and catch with this Buechele-Hemphill combo. This one for 17 yards.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
1:30 p.m.:
Malik Jefferson just blew up Sam Ehlinger. Time to rename it the "46" Defense.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 15, 2017
LB Malik Jefferson nudges QB Shane Buechele to the turf.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
Malik, meet Sam. #HookEm

1:26 p.m.:
Good pass rush from the 1-defense. Ehlinger got "sacked" there. #hookem
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 15, 2017
Sam Ehlinger is sacked twice on his second drive.
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) April 15, 2017
1:26 p.m.:
Oh, and for your die-hards, the Longhorns are back to their old-school (matte finish?) helmet decals. Gone are the flashy metallic ones.

New addition Joshua Rowland kicks a 36-yard FG on Shane Buechele's second drive, which began at the 4. #HookEm
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) April 15, 2017
And yes, Texas can kick field goals. Joshua Rowland coaxes a 36-yarder through the uprights.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
New K Josh Rowland hits a 36-yard field goal. I mean, it did go through the uprights. Wasn't exactly a rocket, though.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
1:21 p.m.: More on Johnson’s TD catch.
Collin Johnson brings it down. #Hookem pic.twitter.com/bZqsvxg8HO

1:16 p.m.:
Punter Michael Dickson, the Ray Guy finalist last year, booms one that Armanti Foreman catches inside the 5. No blockers on the field.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
Great punt by Dickson. Not so great decision by Armanti Foreman to catch it inside the five-yard line. #hookem
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 15, 2017
1:15 p.m.:
By my count, White (offense) holds a 13-2 lead over Orange (defense) after two drives. #HookEm
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) April 15, 2017
Longhorns go 3-and-out on Sam Ehlinger's first drive. Good news for Longhorn fans is Michal Dickson returned with a 54-yard punt. #HookEm

1:14 p.m.:
Buechele to Collin Johnson. Touchdown. #Hookem pic.twitter.com/Teffavc9uW

1:13 p.m.:
Shane Buechele wasting no time silencing the debate at QB. Kid throws a pretty ball. Sam in now.
— Mike Craven (@CravenMike) April 15, 2017
Shane Buechele looked nice on that drive with 3-for-3 passing, including a TD to Collin Johnson.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 15, 2017
1:12 p.m.:
Buechele rolls right and finds Reggie Hemphill-Mapps. #Hookem pic.twitter.com/nZ4SZ75ZjG
— Hookem Football (@hornsfootball) April 15, 2017
And we're off and running. Buechele with a 14-yard TD throw to Collin Johnson. The 35-yard bomb to Hemphill-Mapps got things rolling.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 15, 2017
Buechele looking sharp from the outset, connects with Collin Johnson on a fade for a TD over Eric Cuffee.

1:10 p.m.:
Toneil Carter catches swing pass out of the backfield, looked very natural.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 15, 2017
First play of the Herman spring era is a trick play. Devin Duvernay throws WAY over Heard's head.
