I'm anxious to see the new defensive - specifically how McClain & Gray are used.  I think this staff may find some creative ways to create havoc by scheming ways to use them closer to the line of scrimmage.

With limited time to implement and the general purpose of today's event, we may see a pretty vanilla approach today but I still expect to see evidence that our guys are going to be better positioned to make impact plays.

This is all said with hesitation for it is just Spring ball...Oline decent at pass block. Horrible in run blocking but that's to be expected right now due to new splits and scheme. Morris cowboys the ball too much. Kelvin Smith needs 10 targets a game in the fall. Guy has soft hands, great routes, good size and surprisingly fast for his size. Dillman is underutilized. D looks much improved, especially secondary. Good front 7 movement, etc. It's everything we have been hearing out of practice. 

All in all, wasn't overly impressed with anything except K. Smith. Goree and Smiley looked good. Ezzard catching RB screens out of the backfield looked good.

I know it's a scrimmage and he's usually not playing the ones but shanbour makes such fast decisions.  Always wonder why he never got a shot last year when everyone else spit the bit.

Any concerns about the medium out routs with Morris? Timing was terrible in my humble opinion. Ruthford might b something which would be a big pluse. Smith in the slot could be exciting, a lot quicker than I realized. D looks quick to me! GMG

Thought the exact same thing. Just watched the game, skipping around a lot. Offense should be drastically improved IMO.

Well this is boring. If you couldn't make it dont worry you missed nothing.

Didn't mind watching it online though. Seemed like a typical spring game to me. They are never too intense.

Those are, like you said, timing routes. Nothing of concern given it's spring ball with a new QB throwing to new WR's. Some to the close sideline looked decent. Everything overall looked very boring, but it is spring.

The revisionist excuse is turf toe that kept him from physically competing. 

You decide whether you believe it or not.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.
