Rain to stop by noonish. The front is to hit around 2:30-3:00, that will bring some wind and rain while it passes through. Moving about 60mph, so these conditions should only last for a bout 20-30 minutes. Sun by tailgate time!!! Should be a great crowd.

Attendance quoted at 500?

It was too cold for me.  I suffer only during the fall when the games count.  Anyway, spring games are pointless for the fans.  What did this result tell us?  Has the defense improved dramatically?  Or is the revamped offensive line ineffective?  We will not know the answers to those questions until we line up against Michigan State.

I saw some positive things at the game. First of all they really underestimated the crowd at 500. I would say we have more. I was expecting them to say 2,500 ....going with their usual "adjusting". We did not have much more than 1k, but far more than 500.

- Watts was the POG, just a good effort by a senior.

Other standouts were: Peterman, Boatwright, Wargo, Teven Williams. 

 Hall and Hogan are pleasant surprises.


Cejudo has a very unconventional form, but he is a very good kicker. I will be excited to see summer get here to watch him kick-off.

We have issues in the back-field. We will need Frosh Zach Miller to step in right away. I was hoping that Pace would keep the power, but Miller seems to be able to muster as much power in fewer steps. Watts carries well as a pure RB as well. However, this should not be happening. Someone should be stepping up and running all over people in spring, and it is not there.

On D ...Cox and Johnson played well. Caffey is going to be a stud. Both Rivers player very well. Nwadiogbu, Meyers, and Jameel Smith are definite contributors.

The defense has improved greatly. Excited to see how they fare this season
