Getting Ready for Spring Battles!

Allegedly part of it was because Mack was dinged up. But idk. Seems odd that only impacted the redzone portion.

Just seems like a massive discrepancy in touches.

I mean on one hand it’s an A-day scrimmage skewed to a point by situational ball instead of a true scrimmage game.

But if you blanked out the names and asked me who in the last 15 years had those two A-day stat lines and I’d say the Top line was Bryce, Tua, or Mac and the bottom line was McElroy or Coker.

I did not watch but read through the drives posted by AL.com and the running game seemed less than impressive. Hopefully they haven’t had enough time to gel and this is better by the first game.

There were some good runs also. I would definitely say it was a mixed bag in the running game. With all the new guys that is kind of a given. There is definitely some talent

A friend of mine who went said overall things looked real vanilla

I realized something today, this is the first A-day game in probably 20 years I completely forgot was scheduled. Now, I’ve recently changed jobs and been super busy with my kids, but that wouldn’t have mattered in the past.

Good to see plays on both sides of the LOS.

From this 6-minute clip, it looks like:
1. Russell beat Mack today, even acknowledging Mack was dinged.
2. The OL is improved, though not yet a finished product. And the bar was set absurdly low last year.
3. Regarding prospects for a championship at any level, we’re not going to know anything until October 10 in Athens. Win or lose, we’ll know something on the morning of Sunday, October 11 — more from the quality of the performance than the W or L.
4. #3 isn’t a criticism. We’ll be a work in progress with lots of youngsters, but lots of talent.
5. It’s on us to develop the talent before 10/11/26.

I kind of wonder if Carroll moves back to RT in fall. The transfer guy struggled from what I saw today. Maybe when Sanders is healthy and can take the guard spot.

There are more people on the Non Sports board than the football board.

Just goes to show….sadly.
