Just kidding Hopefully one of our guys will step it up and take charge of the Special Teams!!Need to hang on the the FOOTBALL!!!!

Nice pressure by J-Rich and Gholston on TS. Those kinds of plays by Troy (fumble up 13 in the 4th) will drive JT nuts.

Well, the importance of special teams was highlighted.
But it was encouraging to see both RB's look solid.
133 more days before they play a game! :(

i only watched from the 2nd qt on. but this game for me was just 1 big step backwards for the qbs imo. not because they didn't light up the field. but because it didn't seem they have made any progress on their weak spots. smith still makes horrid decisions and zwick is still very inconsistant with his throws.
i loved the running. but im less confident about our chances at a nc run. good to see that ts expects me to be a dedicated fan...

Need Spring Game Tape
Anyone?
Weather was craappy from what I saw on the webcast. RB's looked good speed in Haw and Pittman. Power from Schnittker. Ginn never really got a chance to show himself. D looked solid with Hoobler standing out. QB's (don't want to go down this road) but to me TS looked the best. stats not all that great but except for the interception he looked ok good speed and good armstrength. Needs to make a few better decisions. Anxious to hear everyones thoughts.
oh yeah and forgot SPECIAL TEAMS!! need work. We are going to be kicking a lot of PAT's this year so we better get good at them now in practice!!! Hopefully someone will step it up a bit and be a leader!

I think the real shocker for me was the play of special teams. We didn't really get to see Huston, but we know the numbers from the kick scrimmage. Need LOTS of practice on the long snap.
Defence looked very good in places. Really liked Brandon Schnittker's running. The running game, him, Pittman, Haw, looked really good. Drop that question mark. It's solid.
The QB question remains for me. I know they played vanilla and I know it was crap weather, very cold, but none of these guys shot the lights out. Smith's second half was much more competent.
My friends, I am so sorry to have sucked up all your bandwidth but I cannot tell you, cannot describe, what this meant to me. Damn, that was just great to be able to watch the game. For a moment there, a couple of times, I was home. Nice to share that with you all.

RB's stood out as the best surprise. O-line did very well for themselves. Some young guys really came to play today, trying to make a name for themselves (Freeman, Hoobler, Sirjo). Not a whole lot of positives to take from this game, though. Doesn't look like the pieces to a championship team to me. Good thing it's only a poor-weather spring game.

Our RB's looked pretty good, but lets not forget most of their yards where against second teamers on D. This was a very sloppy game where nobody really stood out IMHO. Troy Smith looked good on some plays but then makes horrible choices on others. Zwick was over throwing his WRs, again.
It would be nice to have one of the QBs step, because from my limited viewing today none of the three really stood out.

more or less what i posted in the game thread. we are still a loooooooong way away from having a qb. from what i saw (and admittedly my connection sucked) i was greatly dissapointed. not because they weren't lighting up the field. i dind't expect that with the weather. but i was watching to see if either had grown out of their old bad habits. seems neither has made any progress. zwick is still disgustingly inconsistant and smith.... think before you act bud. smith is his own worst enemy. which is generally the case with athletic qb's. way to many poor decisions from smith. both guys games today were nothing more than a carbon copy of last year.
the running looked pretty good. i was really impressed by the line moving the pile a few times and opening some pretty good holes.
the d played really well.
st was spotty as expected. but i was reasonably happy with what i saw from them.

RBs and defense look pretty freakin good.
QBs - Smith looked the best.. a toss up between Zwick/Boeckman for 2nd.
I think the TEs will be pretty good this year as well.
Punting/snapping/kicking need a lot of work. I think this will be fine by the time the season starts.

Freeman stood out the most to me. Haw had a great second half.
Working with thrown together OLs and WRs it is tough to judge a QB. Can't think of many instances where any QB has stood out in a spring game.
I thought the Scarlet OL looked very good. Lots of nice hits by the D. Sorry to see Ginn didn't get more touches - but shouldn't have been surprised. Would loved to have seen Dukes and Lyons get some more accurate passes thrown their way.
Nice to see Maupin in a uni.
