I watched about 10 minutes of it and mine is Tulu will be used.
What's your #1 takeaway from the spring game?
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Keeping in mind that Spring games don't tell you much at all, here were my other takeaways:
2. Rogers is the starter, and the haters can shut up. Wright will definitely get some snaps, but Rogers is the man.
2b. We sort of saw bizarro Rogers Saturday. Mobility, some zip on his passes, and an average completion percentage. But he botched some handoffs, and ran backwards for a big sack on the final play, so it really was him.
3. The offense may be creative and fun to watch this year. Or maybe not. I get excited about the offense almost every Spring.
4. I understand with limited practices and concerns about potential injuries, coaches don't want a full contact game to end the Spring. But please give us something entertaining and competitive. I really couldn't understand what was going on game wise, or even how they decided which "team" scored. It was boring.

The one played before the Big *** Baseball Game. ***** 16,423, Arkansas and LSU can kiss our ***.
Rogers has a way to go if he even wants a shot at the next level. Defensive backfield is aggressive, most of the DL starters did not play so no comment on them. Offense was a mixed bag. But ir is spring so hopefully the final product in the fall will be entertaining.
By next level, you mean coaching?
I feel better about my own yard after seeing the grass at Davis Wade.
Not much. It’s a spring game. Barbay appears to know where his bread will be buttered on offense.
I only saw it on a few replays I watched on Twitter but I'd imagine this time of year what you were seeing was the result of verticutting, deep tine aerification or topdressing (or all 3) which were all done intentionally and for good reason
Man, expectations are going to screw Colorado over I think. Sold out spring game. When those losses come early in the season.... Not good
I’m gonna be honest. It’s been years since I’ve looked at our turf at any point throughout the year and thought to myself… man, that’s a great looking field.
I agree but this was especially bad, even for a Spring Game.
OM still sucks and we took 2 of 3 from those *** hats in dramatic fashion!
We have players and we have coaches continuing to evaluate them in order to develop a game plan that can hopefully produce 7-9 wins next season.
I also like the new RB from Hinds CC - Pittman.
Defense looks good. I like the offensive scheme still more to implement and clean up. Will looked much better than expected. I feel much better about him, he make two great throws, one 50 yards in the air. Lots of players out though, can't make too many assumptions.
The DL was in the offenses backfield the whole game. If we are this porous against our line what will happen against SEC tier 1 teams???
I didn't watch it since they won't show much. We still have fall practice to go through and there's no telling what else might change between now and opening day... and after opening day.
You expect the D to be far ahead at this point. If basically thier 3rd year under Arnett. Offense will get better and better, in 2024 under Parsons, I expect to be very good - or at least very exciting.
I hate to break it to you, but if Will Rogers wants to be our QB in 2024, he will be.
True dat! Will doesn't have to be Michael Vick, but he does have to be willing to run every now and then to put pressure on the d and take pressure off his oline.
The 1 thing: Will is faster than I am. I didn’t know that until I watched the spring game.
Not as much on his shoulders. I liked using the receivers in run game and tight end packers. I think we need to bulk up at running back. Might find a younger guy as starter. Wright passing didn't impress hard to tell on running in spring. I thought the walk on looked decent to be honest
What did the fan attendance look like? I'm thinking with the new staff and all, that may have sprung some interest and helped baseball attendance. Or I may be wrong on that.
This wasn't even against our line. Hardly any of our starting DL played. We were so short handed they ran a 2/4/5 defense. But it eill come together. We have 2 OL coaches which is a huge plus I am told. Our receivers have trouble running routes but that will be corrected by Coach Bump no doubt. Rogers does have an arm and can run without fumbling apparently.
I did like the 55 yard pass by Will.
I believe nothing that insinuates Will's overcome his ability to hang on to the ball in real competition at this juncture. I've never seen so many fumbles by a football player due to complete weakness. I'll need an A$$ Report outta strength coach's mouth before I'll even begin to think otherwise.
I hear you can make some big bucks in coaching and you don't have to take a hit. **
For some reason, I had a good feeling about Pittman when he signed with us. Just a first impression, but he looks like a tough RB, IMO.
It’s a great gig. And I don’t mean that as a knock on Will. He’s going to be setup for a nice entry point to a career in coaching.
