Takeaways from the spring game

[Aclone]

Due to the transfer portal, good idea for Campbell and all coaches to declare all positions are still open.

I’m not sure how well that works across the board. Like one room where there are a bunch of experienced seniors—who will also have a sixth year available—and the position coach just raves about a bunch of sophomores and freshmen. So juniors might be looking over their shoulders, regardless of whether starting spots are etched in stone.

Did any of the O Linemen get pulled for being offsides and do up/downs? Kills us when it's 3rd and short and they jump.

I don't recall a single illegal procedure penalty on an O lineman.

Our fans give our o-line a lot of crap about those false starts but some many of those are caused by way too much pre snap window dressing. That's something I'm really hoping the new regime cleans up/slims down.

Punter was holding the kicks. I prefer a 5th string QB personally.

Me too but seems it’s almost always punter.

I feel like It hasn’t been the punter since the Nebraska 2 pt conversion fail.

I guess I meant overall in college ,nfl, etc. btw the fail against NE was top 5 isu heartbreakers for me.

Truthfully, as much as i hate to admit they did something correctly, the format of the NE spring game was impressive. 2 20 minute halves, full contact, full speed. Even saw the QB take a couple shots. I have always thought that Campbells teams have started most seasons slow(ULM, UNI) and cant help but wonder if a different format of spring game helps knock off some of those cobwebs that have built up over the winter. Disclaimer-I was not at the spring game, so if this is the format we used, feel free to tell me im an idiot

They had very physical spring practices. I was told probably the most physical since Campbell has been here. So even though the spring game wasn't a full speed normal spring game, it still accomplished what the team needed.

You are an idiot, there does that make you happy?

I am certain a spring game doesn’t have any bearing on how well you start. For instance, Nebraska did a spring game last year and lost its opening game to a Northwestern team that won exactly 1 game last year.

Spring games are for the fans. That is it.

We took another SEP QB as a walk-on. Isn't that our pipeline for kick holders?

Who?

Their current QB is a ‘24 scholarship commit.
