I wasn't able to tell through the tears.............Clob, it looked to me like the defense was showing Shane a lot more looks than Sam.
Did you see it that way or am I just seeing things that aren't there?

A few thoughts after the spring game:
-What a breath of fresh air to have a full QB room. Remember, last season was played with just two scholarship QB's one being a true soph. and the other a true freshman. The two new frosh. QB's both show a lot of promise. Rising might have the best arm on campus right now. TOS insiders say he has the talent to be a better version of Sam. Thompson is definitely a true running threat and may be able to develop into a true dual threat QB. This is easily the best QB room in terms of experience, talent, and depth since at least 2012 with Ash/McCoy/Brewer/Overstreet, and maybe even since 2009.
-I'ts hard to draw any conclusions on the OL and run game in any spring game but especially with that format. !st team offense split into two teams with only 8 scholarship OL having to play every snap for BOTH teams. In addition, you are missing Anderson, Hudson, and Grandy. I'll even add in J. Angilau because I think he may be physically ready to make the two-deep.
-The first five at WR are solid: CJ, LJ, Duvy, Heard, Burt. Add in athletic young depth: Pouncey, Curtis, Eagles, Woodard, Moore and I think you've got a good unit.
-Kobe Boyce can play
-Having Beck and Leitao at TE will be a nice upgrade to last season's OL
-Last year there were two areas so weak in depth that any injuries could derail the season: OL and QB. Of course, by the third game they were both in full on disaster mode: I think both units are in much better position to survive the injury bug, if it hits. However, the one unit on the team that I don't think is would be the LB unit. Herman/Orlando need to add talent and bodies to that group ASAP. Thank goodness Ayodele didn't flip to OU, AND enrolled early.
-Overall, I think the D has a chance to be plenty good enough despite the losses of Poona, Malik, Hill, and Elliot. On O, just by default these units should see marginal improvements at some level relative to last season: QB, OL, RB, TE. The only other unit, the WR's, have enough talent and depth to be fine and maybe a strength. Despite that, I still think there is just a fairly low ceiling for this offense right now. As of now there just isn't anyone special at QB or RB and that's behind an OL that is not at an elite level at this point.
It's going to be tough........... it kills me that we haven't been able to develop our big boy talent.watched it live and then watched it again today, we are in deep sh!t on offense. we cant block anyone.
it cant be player talent can it? i mean we have had 1 good tackle in how long has it been? its got to be coaching right?It's going to be tough........... it kills me that we haven't been able to develop our big boy talent.
Calm down guys. Our front seven is nasty, and will make a lot of lines look bad this year. Yeah we will be led by our D again. So what. Our offense will be at least slightly improved. If it was slightly better last year, we win 10 games.
Cuero, love you bro but I'll tell you this--- our secondary will be nails-- our front seven has LOTS to prove.Calm down guys.

Mark my words.
It will be a grind. And yes, the rice tackle will help us.It's going to be a grind but expecting anything other than a grind will only lead to disappointment. I expect the tackle from Rice will be a big lift.
Back away from the ledges.....its a "spring" game.
Has anyone watched tape on the OT from Rice? I have heard he is a first round talent and also that he is an average Power 5 type tackle. I have no clue. Is he a stud or a solid guy who might start and be decent? I would assume somewhere in between, but wonder if anyone actually knows what he is.It will be a grind. And yes, the rice tackle will help us.
Draft grade was out of the non-P5 conferences he was the 5th or 6th highest graded tackle. May have been a late round guy, but most likely went undrafted but landed at a spot as a free agent. With a good year in a P5 conference odds are he'll be draftable and a higher round guy depending on how good he is this year, combine, etc...Has anyone watched tape on the OT from Rice?

He was an honorable mention all conference guy the last couple years, but those are often pretty political and OL is the hardest to judge in my book for the casual fan.
