Are you happy with the QB situation?

Do you have serious issues or concerns at any of the skill positions?

Is the Oline lineup looking to move around a bunch this summer?

Are you looking for contributors anywhere from the portal?

How was the front seven looking?

Are you happy with the DB depth?

Are you changing the scheme much?

Any impact injuries?

Any new coaches you are concerned about?



Overall are you happy with the state of the team at the end of spring?

This is what an unbiased, neutral source had to say about Texas football

Carson Beck appears to be our clear QB#1, great stat line in the first half he played but beyond the stat line, he just looked good, comfortable, in command, and he throws ropes.

Due to injuries, we only had two scholarship running backs able to participate, so not much to report there.

Offensive scheme, can't comment on, it was 70% passes and we know damn well we aren't going to see Bobo/UGA be 70% pass.

One "breakout" guy is Mekhi Mews, a scout team walkon wide receiver only 5-8 and 170, balled out on kick returns and at receiver, great hands and lots of wiggle. Think Isaiah McKenzie.

Overall very happy with the direction LSU is headed. Obviously very pleased with the QB situation, we have a very good #1 and a #2 that has legit potential to be better.

I'd like to see a RB emerge, we were missing that last year.

Yes! Arkansas backup QBs are good! Won’t be much of a drop off if KJ goes down this year like he did last year. Hornsby couldn’t pass. Criswell looks good and Fortin and singleton are serviceable. Our Dline looks like they’ll have some ends that are going to give opposing QBs problems. Think they looked better after this spring than they did in past. Still curious about our secondary…

Georgia is going to quite possibly be better than last year. QB is a concern, but BVG and Beck are both superior physical talents to Stetson. Only the intangibles are in question. The secondary might be superior to 21 and 22. Only bad luck could keep the Dogs from a 3-peat in college football for the first time in about 85 years.

Beck and our TE's and WR's are gonna light it up. Defense will be the same as always...

More than happy, ecstatic is more like it.

You asked...

3peat on the way

As soon as I heard TJ was still taking snaps I tuned out.

Have no idea to any of those questions. Everybody is undefeated and everybody thinks they will stay that way. Will know when the season starts.

Doesn’t Tennessee have a hearing with the NCAA this week? How do you think that will turn out?

I quit with the Spring Game waste of time about ten years ago.

Spring Games mean absolutely nothing.

Oft times Spring Game MVPs are never heard-from again.

Many times, players in Spring Games are gone by July or August.

Sometimes, good players are unnecessarily injured in Spring Games.

Spring Games mean zilch.

... unless you're a fan, or a little kid, or a walkon perhaps, I guess. I dunno. I find no redeeming value in Spring Games.

Love the QB, skill positions. Still not thrilled with questions on OL & tackling. Work to do there IMO.

Are you happy with the QB situation? No. Not one start amongst them.

Do you have any issues or concerns at any of the skill positions?

Yes. Our best WR went to Texas. Ladd McConkey is just a runt that starts because we don't have anyone else. We had to get our portal WRs from Mizzou and MSU. So sad. RBs are pedestrian at best who were backups to Kenny McIntosh. KM probably going day three in the draft. Bowers will have to actually play TE instead of hybrid WR with Washington gone. It sucks.

Is the Oline looking to move around a bunch this summer?

Yes. Hard to figure out with this bunch. Couldn't put the game away vs. Kentucky when they had the chance. Did you see what Tennessee did to Kentucky?

Are you looking for contributors anywhere from the portal?

Yes, but no one, at least not the bigger names, wants to play for us.

How was the front seven looking?

Not much of a rush. Got torched by our first string, unathletic, statuesque QB.

Are you happy with the DB depth? Scary. Having to replace two All-conference/american type starters. It sucks.

Are you changing the scheme much? On offense, will go from greatest OC in college football history to a guy that was fired by a lame duck coach.

Any impact injuries? No if you are talking about season killer ones or ones that will keep someone out for the fall camp, but that just means they'll come later, when they hurt the most.

Any new coaches you are concerned about? Already mentioned the OC. Nightmare.

Overall are you happy with the state of the team at the end of spring?

There is some promise. Maybe we'll be ready to compete for the conference in a year or two.

Couldn’t tell jackshit because it was raining

Our RB room is really talented from what I saw, Battie is a real sleeper pick to win an award. Very explosive and has a lot of speed

Only negative from UGA G Day Game is we may only have 1 QB and a coaches son listed as a QB after the portal closes in a couple of weeks. Carson Beck looked like the clear cut starter while BVG did not look comfortable and did not look good. Stockton looked very good but Its Becks job to lose I would bet....meaning BVG and Stockton may both wind up in the portal. I hope not of course but there is not much holding them in Athens if they ain't starting.
