First Two-a-Day Workout in the Books - The first of Texas Tech's three-scheduled two-a-days is history as the Red Raiders practiced at 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday. The team also will run through multi-practice days Wednesday and Friday at the same times. Sounding Off - "It has been a lot hard work," freshman wide receiver Danny Amendola said following Monday's second workout. "I am just trying to learn the system. I'm trying to learn all the plays and I have been getting a lot of help from the older guys. I appreciate all the help I get. The workouts are pretty much what I expected." "The defense has been a lot more intense this year," senior corner Jamaal Jackson said Monday. "The offense picked it up a lot today and we went at it blow for blow. It's going to be a good year."
