A sloppy Spring Game full of turnovers provided some good things but also reminded us that there is a ways to go for the program Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

-It was a Spring Game remembered more for the 8 turnovers (6 fumbles, 2 INTs) than any big play, on a cold, windy day at Memorial Stadium -Jeff Sims looked solid at QB, going 9/13 passing and a nice rushing TD also in the red zone. The play of the other QBs was…not great -Definitely saw some potential in young players defensively like Princewill Umanmielen and Maverick Noonan, among others….what else from Saturday stood out? -The running backs all did well, but Anthony Grant was the best of the bunch. However, Gabe Ervin got the starting nod -Nebraska might have the fullback position figured out! -The offensive line looked the same as it has been for the past few years -The kicking game started out good, but then slightly declined Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING
