AUSTIN, Texas — The hardest part is not licking his fingers.
For Texas Longhorns senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger, none of the precautions taken to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus are as difficult as stopping the habit of licking his fingers between each play on the practice field.
“I think that everything in our lives has had to change a little bit, especially for me as much as I lick my fingers,” Ehlinger told the media in a Zoom call on Tuesday. “I’m trying to cut that out — it’s really tough for me, because it is a habit, but I think that there’s a lot of different things, little things like that, that I’m conscious of now that I wasn’t in December.
