The game was uninspiring, even boring. Nobody thought the QB situation would be settled this spring, and that means hey, everybody was right!
Consider that we have a coach or scheme or whatever who took an all-league caliber QB and turned him into a benchwarmer and then sometime threat, and truly, the sky is the limit!
The spring game, to be fair, is rarely an indicator of what is to come. Let's certainly hope so this year.

Let's all remember that this is the "Spring Game" and the defense knows every play by now that the QB is calling at the line of scrimmage. Yes, kids still need to execute, but knowing you can get a pash rush instead of looking for the ball is a tremendous advantage.

I don't want to take anything away from the defense, they played well. My point is, I for one didn't see that kind of pressure on the opposing QB at all last year, accept maybe the G-Town game.

Our "O" line needs work, but again missing 2 of the top guys didn't help.

When was the last "Spring Game" that the defense didn't dominate?

I would have to put Bokoski winning the QB battle so far. He seems to have a good head about him and I understand he played the last series with a seperated shoulder so I guess thats the toughness LFN spoke about. I would have to put the lefty a close second. I wasn't impressed with Clark's ability to read the defense and he didn't show any real arm strength. The long pass was a real duck.

I would almost be more concerned with the RB situation. If McGowen goes down again the #2 guy although looks like he has the ability, is very green. (fumbles, dropped passes etc.) Neither QB is going to be succsesfull without a quality running game.

To sum it all up... the offense is very "bland" ecspecially the passing game! the routes are basic, and lack creativity ( Fordham has a nice short passing attack dumping off some short passes and using picks etc. to get recievers freed up)Coehn useed a nice blend of running and passing on the first series resulting in a pretty pass by Bokoski for a TD. After the first series it looked like a backyard pick up game!

The defensive secondary to me was the biggest improvement I saw from last season. The coverage was good throughout the day.

Our L-Backers are outstanding and are the strength of this team.

If our "O" line comes together, McGowen stays healthy, we find a "big play" maker at reciever, and our "D" line gets pressure up front, we will be 2 games above 500.

Was at the scrimmage. I thought the QB with the most to offer was Cisneros. I think given a summer of working on his footwork he will come into camp with a great shot at the #1 or #2 QB. The defense will be the backbone of the team if they don't have to come up with a big play after the O goes 3 and out all day.

Two picks, 1 for a 80 yars TD, broken plays. What did you see?

luhwk94,

I was at the game and agree with your statement. It was tough out there for the OL with talented starters Tiefenthal and Rackley hurt. Rackley (in the end is going to be one of the best ever at LU) was a 50% and only played the beginning part of the scrimmage.

It seemed they did nothing but dropback pass. Probably trying to evaluate young QB's. McGowan only carried 3 times. Walker only 6. Doesn't make sense.

Oh, Boy!

I chose to do something else yesterday, but the pubic reports about Brown/White lead me to believe the program is still in some sort of "funk."

I was hoping to read of a matured, efficient QB, a bigger and controlling O-line.

Also not feeling positive about players leaving the program.

There's time, I guess.

Dear Neighbor:

I neither read nor saw any "pubic" reports, but from the sounds of what you folks saw, I'm not sure I was better off reading the public ones, either.

Good news is no one has his hopes up ... like in years past.

Hope my post wasn't too trite -- didn't mean for it to be offensive; we all make typos.

See you in the fall.

Thanks for your take Mr. Cisneros
