Yeah, I thought the same thing. It's not even 50% if people in that hole have elbow room.

Capacity in AA means sitting or standing diagonally. As seen here (and most home games for the past decade), the filled seats have gaps of 20-50%, but then that's never stopped Michigan from blatantly lying about attendance before.

A few post-S-Game comments
The D ... gonna be good, has to be good ... all units should be good, and deep ... they get a grade of at least a B, maybe B+
-- DLs ... A-
-- DEs ... Marshall was my most impressive newcomer of the game ... when the others come back it'll be a good unit ... grade: inc
-- LBs ... Bolden looked good ... overall grade: B-
-- both units of DBs ... depth and talent ... newcomer Brandon Watson showed up at CB and semi-newcomer Delano 'Marcus-Ray' Hill showed up at S. grade: B+

The O ... either C to C-, or maybe simply "incomplete"
-- divvying the OL up with the draft hurt the Offenses probably, especially the run game ... we couldn't see what the staring OL unit could do, so grade: inc.
-- RBs ... certainly have to build more healthy depth than just Smith ... grade: inc
-- WRs ... they only have two receivers, Darboh and Butt ... hopefully Canteen will be there ... grade: C (and that's a little generous)
-- QBs ... Shane had the better day, throws a better ball ... but Malzone does better with the short-intermediate throws IMO (except the ball gets there a little late at times due to his windup) ... grade: C+
(Shane: 11-24 t TD, 1 int ... ... Malzone 15-27, 0 TDs, 2 ints)

OVERALL

I didn't expect much good O-play .. hoped I'd see Cole some but Canteen beat him out and both were on the Maize team (Cole was out there some, but no receptions)
D is very good -- but the O wasn't tough competition so it's hard to tell

OVER-Overall
This is the installation of a new team ... so didn't expect spring to be more than a halfway-there demonstration, not a finished product whatsoever.
I expect the Fall 'spring game' -- namely @Utah -- to be a whole different story ... good O, great D.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

It's fun that the "We don't have any wideouts so let's refer to our TE as one" tradition is alive and well.
bmiller11 - the QBs
Malzone's arm - more slow than weak, IMO ... that hitch wasn't there at The Opening last summer

that said, Malzone is more efficient in the 12-yards-and-in pass game, which is more of the pass game. (think: Pats in the Super Bowl for ex)
Shane guns it in there too hard, too late on these shorter throws - it's like his big-arm has him waiting too long on them, not throwing with good timing.

Remember, Alex was 15-27for the game ... Shane 11-24 ... tho we remember Shane having the better day (me too) because of his deep balls

Malzone's arm is much weaker than I imagined.

Meanwhile, you know the offense was horrendous when the biggest producer of sunshine (and blue) chose to write this

Instant game reaction & observations...
Top players --

Maurice Hurst while it's clear that offensive is still a work in progress, this guy was a menace all day long. showed power quickness and speed. Gotta play him

willie Henry - best blend of power and technique up front

Joe Bolden - Great anticipation... was a force. Question is was that a product of familiarity or a sign of his readiness to take the next stp

Ryan Glasgow - anchor in the middle

honorable mention -- Brandon Watson, Jourdan Lewis, Lawrence Marshall, Chris Wormley

And on the other end of the spectrum --

WRs -- way too many srops. QBs had their struggles, but excerbated by drops

QB's - Malzone started out crisp, but sharpness dipped some as the game went on. Morris struggled mightly early, got a better as the game went on. Not much difference between the two,

OL - Not much push inside for the O-line. They did much better on outside runs.

Hard to tell how good this defense is because the current state of the offense,
