I am I Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 The O was what we thought they were: Fast Veteran Good Etcetera How about those that were there/watched it on TV: Did we have size on DL (VV, Moss, MacM)? Did we look faster? Any depth? LB look good/ready/physical? Secondary in places they needed to be? According to per LJS and OWH the O owned the day, but were there any flashes of edge speed, hard contact, stout play upfront? I'm not looking for all Americans because it was a spring game but were there solid play/improvements from last year? Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 That can't be assessed until week 1. What you look for in spring game is raw talent. From what i saw, we are definitely more athletic on D than last year Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hard to tell. In my opinion, the defense seemed to be taking better angles, but the offense didn't even seem to be trying that hard and still lit it up. If the offense had run an end-around or two, we'd probably all be having Wisconsin nightmares right now. Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Agreed. It's hard to get a read on things with the way they split things apart IMO. I much prefer the Osborne & Solich days in how they did things. The only thing I garnered out of it was that Moore is a playmaker. Tommie has a good arm. Westerkamp & Reilly have good hands. The WR group is pretty good. I didn't get any impressions from the D as far as playmakers. Maybe watching the replay will change that. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Offense: QB Martinez looked solid, RK3 and Armstrong showed they are capable as well. Armstrong looks like he can be a 3 yr starter. Rb: cross does look a little bit lighter on his feet. Will still do the most damage running downhill in pistol and I formations. Frazier will play this year IMHO Wr: best and deepest position on team Moore and Westercamp look the part TE: they were better than I thought they would be and appear to have solid hands OL: gotta hold judgement until UCLA DL: gotta hold judgement until UCLA too LB: athletically they look the part, Bo needs to get them mentally ready if we want to get over the 4 loss hump DB: we were running the basics out there so offensive advantages make it a little unfair. Again will have to hold off total judgment when it isn't 1 vs 1 and is mixed like this. Was surprised by Cooper and H. Jackson at the safety spots. Kick/Punt Bondi definitely has a strong leg. Wind obviously aided this so it can't really pass judgement yet. Punting was solid but again gotta wait until the wind dies down 1 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I cant really take anything away from the game. They all appeared to be going through the motions. Quote Link to comment
HuskerThor Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Trevor Roach was in on a hell of a lot of plays. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I cant really take anything away from the game. They all appeared to be going through the motions. Exactly.... For those wanting to draw conclusions from a Spring game, remember this.... Carnes is now a long way down the depth chart.... at WR! Quote Link to comment
Husker from Kansas Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Offense: QB Martinez looked solid, RK3 and Armstrong showed they are capable as well. Armstrong looks like he can be a 3 yr starter. My only complaint on T-Mart was it looked like he threw off his back foot alot which caused him to throw a couple balls high. The one that sticks out is the one early on when it would have went for a td easy but instead the TE had to jump and make a very difficult catch. But Im sure that will come out in film and he will work on it all summer Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 In watching it a 2nd time, I think Mo did a nice job at CB. Quote Link to comment

C N Red Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Mo and Zaire looked good and the TE's did much better than I expected. Quote Link to comment

Curry/Moss showed a little promise. Ankrah was solid. BUt McMullen, Randle, VV didn't play and they will be key guys in the fall. Quote Link to comment
