AUSTIN -- Tom Herman's second spring camp at Texas will conclude this weekend with the 15th and final workout, also known as the spring game/scrimmage.

Herman and his staff are marketing this game as "Under the Lights" with live bands scheduled to play beginning Saturday afternoon at DKR Memorial Stadium. The game is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m.

However, stormy weather may alter the schedule with storms expected in the Austin area on Saturday.

Herman said, "everything is currently on the table, from moving the scrimmage inside of the bubble to moving [the game] to Sunday to moving it up on Saturday to playing it as scheduled."

The Longhorns will be divided into two teams, orange and white, and there will be a traditional football scoring system. Some programs elect to reward defenses points for sacks and interceptions for their spring games.

This is the list of Longhorns not expected to play due to injuries: Patrick Hudson (OL), Kyle Porter (RB), Tristian Houston (RB), Cameron Townsend (RB), Gary Johnson (LB), Ed Freeman (LB), and Davante Davis (DB). There may be a few more Longhorns added to this list by the end of the week.

Defensive back P.J. Locke is questionable, but may play if he's medically cleared.
