I didn't see it on television but I am not local so maybe it is. I doubt it though. Turnout from the pictures I have seen looks good.

SPRING GAME

I am surprised at the lack of posting in regards to the Spring Game--crowd size, players, recruits etc.

Turnout...Ok. I've heard it was the largest turnout for a spring game in years at around 7000, but I don't know. I do know that if we still had the last coach turnout would have been much much less, like in none. Crowd was really spread out around the stadium. The fish fry line was never ending, but the beer lines weren't bad at all.

Game itself.....boring. Defense is much ahead of offense, but that is understandable and not unexpected at this time.

Recruits.....who knows?

I am really expecting our D to shine this year but we could be in for a lot of low scoring games. In years past our offense was way ahead of our D in spring games it seemed. I hope we can be well balanced by the start of season on both ends.

I suspect the offense will be fine. Boone wasn't allowed to run with the ball, but did catch 4 passes. The offensive line, receivers, and backs were not playing as 1 unit, but were spread between the two groups. Much easier for defenses to play that way then it is for offenses. Also keep in mind that the defense has been practicing against the offense all this time, so they probably know the plays almost as well as the offense does. Hard to fool them when they know what is coming.

Defense is always ahead of offense in the spring, particularly when the offense is learning a new system. As noted, Boone barely played, we had a couple guys out with injury and the rosters were split in two. Most importantly, the guy who will most likely be playing under center this fall is still over at Cincinnati State working on getting enough credit hours to fulfill the transfer.

I saw on Twitter that we are in on a Louisville Grad Transfer QB. Don't know anything about him though. His name sounded familiar so maybe he started before Jackson took over. Haven't looked him up though.

Is the over under 7.5? I will take 7 if it means the program is in good hands. This year has Tubs dirty hands all over it. Any step in the right direction that allows us to grow is success to me.

So much of the 2017 record seems QB based, which I know we will get settled long term.
