Starts up in about 5 minutes.
I expecting the offense to struggle today for a few reasons:
1. QBs won't be allowed to run. Our offense doesn't work without that. Hence why we can't score on Bama
2. Good OL are out.

Are the teams just divided up evenly, Like with a draft? Or is it more ones vs ones and twos vs twos vs twos?

Thompson looked pretty good in that dive. Our fg kicking looks about like you'd expect
ShotgunDawg

Well, kicking may be an issue.
That was just about the most pathetic kick these eyes have witnessed.
It is absolutely amazing how difficult it's been for Mullen to find a kicker.

Yep, Day can't get here fast enough. Just hope he is at least competent. Amazes me that we can't even have a kicker already on the team that can kick a 26 yard FG with no rush.
ShotgunDawg
04-08-2017, 03:10 PM

Need to see how his hands work better, but he's a more fluid athlete than Morrow. I saw that comparison, but on what I've seen so far, he's more talented

Peters with the pick. Fitz still got some work to do in the passing game.

Gotta be honest, I'm more happy seeing Peters get that INT than Fitz completing the pass. With these receivers, Fitz is in for a long day.

That pass is most likely to gray in a real game. Gray probably gets more separation than couch

Because he got put on the team with C34 and Cadaver at WR. Why would we throw it?

Every year I'm amazed at how different the Grove Bowl is vs the Maroon White game.
Their Spring games are always 45-42 & ours are always 10-7.
It must because of Mullen's scheme & lack of letting QBs run

For all the grief we give Hevesy in the recruiting game, if Gonzales doesn't step it up this year in recruiting (and Heath is a VERY good start) then he deserves to be put in the exact same category.
