The Texas Tech football team has completed the first week of training camp, and will host its first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.
Kickoff is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and will be covered exclusively by TexasTech.com
Saturday's scrimmage will be the first of two during fall camp.
On Friday morning, the Red Raiders went through a light practice in shoulder pads and shorts to prepare for Saturday's scrimmage.
"We want to get a good look tomorrow," head coach Tommy Tuberville said.
Tuberville added that the Red Raiders will run through approximately 120 plays on Saturday, and the team will be divided into three separate groups.
The scrimmage will also feature an officiating crew.
"We want to do everything we can do to get an assessment of where we are at," Tuberville said.
The Red Raiders have completed seven full practices throughout training camp and will continue practices on Monday at the Football Training Facility.
