After a full-padded scrimmage on Friday, UTSA football returned to the practice field for a full-padded practice, the seventh practice of the spring season, on Monday morning at the UTSA Practice Fields.The Roadrunners had their first spring scrimmage on Friday morning and broke for the weekend before returning to the field as a team on Monday."Coming off a very rigorous practice on Friday, we bounced back today," head coachsaid. "We had a lot of very good things happen, as we talked about on Friday, and we came back today and really tried to improve ourselves. We went into different situational things in preparation for a big Saturday scrimmage that we'll have. We moved them to the two-minute drill today, which was very productive with the No. 1 offense. They went down the field and positioned themselves to kick it through the upright to win the game. Then our defense did an outstanding job and applied pressure up front, covered in the back end to preserve victory. A very, very productive practice as we continue to improve."Other UTSA spring practice dates include Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and April 10, 13, 17 and 19.The spring practice season will conclude with the ninth annual UTSA Football Fiesta Spring Game, which will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at Dub Farris Athletic Complex (8400 North Loop 1604 W).
