Defensive backfield looks good. Blackstrain showing out, slot backs fast!
I just got back from the game. The campus was alive with frat house outdoor parties and bands, but hardly of the students went to the stadium to see the game. There were a lot of recruits at the game and they seemed to almost outnumber the fans. I am not sure why they closed the west stands and opened the east stands because for at least the first half of the game the sun was directly in the face of the fans in the east while west was in shade but closed off. The loud rap music finally wore me out by 7:30 and I left. It made me wonder how many teams play unbearably loud music for the entire spring game. Is that the norm? Of course, I am old so what do I know?
Last year after attending the Spring game I decided I didn't need to go back to another one for awhile. II didn't care for the OvD format instead of 2 teams playing each other, but I forgot about the loud music being played the whole time. Couldn't chat with my buddy about what we were seeing because the music was so distracting.The loud rap music finally wore me out by 7:30 and I left.

QB is a different ball of wax. with the portal in effect today going into any season declaring there’s a qb competition is a great way to lose some guys. sims is clearly better than gibson but bringing in someone to transfer to be competition with a two year starter is gonna be seen as disrespectIf we are a competition based program, why is the starting QB job not up for grabs?
Not enough healthy players? Yeah, ok Geoff.Supposedly the first half of the spring game will be drills. 2nd half will be scrimmage offense vs defense.
No kicking/punting. No score keeping.
Not enough healthy players for 2 separate teams so we get just offense vs defense.
Remains to be seen. There is a question mark about Sims ability to stay on the field. All things being equal I'd go with the new guy. Sims has had 2 years & the team is no betterQB is a different ball of wax. with the portal in effect today going into any season declaring there’s a qb competition is a great way to lose some guys. sims is clearly better than gibson but bringing in someone to transfer to be competition with a two year starter is gonna be seen as disrespect

... Well they were practicing on the opposite end of the field next to the tailgate section.Now I see why our OL has been bad they don't have to practice
Bc it’s no question who the starter is. It’s that simple
I agree with all of this.It appeared to me that Sims was playing against the 1st team defense and they shut him and the run down pretty well, the defense Gibson went against had huge holes in the secondary. That being said i was pretty happy with what i saw from Gibson considering some of the negative stuff certain posters had been writing about him. I think he’s an upgrade as our backup if we can give him some time to throw he can make plays with his arm imo.
I mentioned here a few weeks ago about the comment Chris Landry made about Gibson...that we would be pleasantly surprised with his throwing abilities.Gibson can sling it. Too bad Pyron is banged up - looking forward to seeing him too.
