Texas Tech kicked off its preseason practices Friday morning with a nearly two-hour workout at the football practice facility. It was the first of 21 practices for the Red Raiders during their week of preparation for their Sept. 3 opener against Murray State.
“We had an exciting first day,” the head coach Joey McGuire he said. “We had good energy and got a lot of reps, which is a big part of our process. We have to bring that same energy throughout camp, but I can tell our guys are fired up for today and it shows.”
The Red Raiders will spend the first two practices wearing only helmets as part of an NCAA-mandated conditioning period. McGuire will switch to shells (soft pads) on Sunday before heading to Texas Tech’s first full-pad workout next Wednesday.
McGuire will lead the Red Raiders in each of the next two preseason games, the first coming under the lights of Jones AT&T Stadium on August 13th. Those two moves, McGuire said Thursday during his report day press conference, are what set him apart. He looks at the depth chart to prepare the final depth chart.
