The Official Spring Game Thread

Smothers actually had a nice deep pass in to the wind that maybe should have been caught. Is it just me or does his throwing motion look WAY better this spring. Was he playing with a bum shoulder against Iowa?

It’s just the spring game, but Grant appears to have the vision, patience and jump cut / make defender miss ability that we have not had since Abdullah. Hopefully he’s the real deal. Just feels like since Abdullah left, all of our RBs just run straightforward with minimal ability to create their own yards
Vision. Most underrated trait of a running back.
 
Benhart, Bando, Hixson, Nouilli, Banks left to right…guessing that’s our first team o line right now knowing Corcoran and Prochaska are coming back
 
My spring game before halftime overreaction = OL better have something else ready for season…

punter has a live leg needs to be consistent.

FG = 2021 all over again?

It looks like our special teams still haven’t figured out how to make field goals consistently.
 
QB's look bad. Smother's looks the best i think and he's been inconsistent on throws. If QB doesn't improve, the rest of this wont matter. Everything offense doesn't look good.
 
So Thompson only played for 2 series?
I think it was more than that but I think the real battle is for who will be the backup. The GOOD NEWS is that I think both Purdy and Smothers look like guys who could win games for us IF need be. I'm impressed by Purdy and Smothers looks like a more natural passer now than he did last fall.

Would have been nice to see more of Thompson. Maybe we could find out what we have if you put your best distributor of the ball on the field.
 
i’m waiting to hear he was injured.…lol

I haven't seen anything to fault Purdy on at all. I think he's looked very good. Smothers has missed a couple of guys but it's hard to know if that was his fault or if the WR ran the wrong route.
When you throw way behind a WR running a skinny flag, it is obviously the QB.
