You can watch a replay on ESPN3. It's worth a look.
It's hard to judge a spring game, but the team looked crisp and hungry. No one was " going through the motions". When 1st string defense and offense met, it could have gone either way. I think that's what you want.
Quarterback:
Bo is the clear starter, but people who crowned Kincade as the automatic back-up definitely jumped the gun. Ryan is the most natural looking QB we have. He never gets hurried in the pocket. Kincade looks good, too, but this is a tight race. Does also has a bright future at QB. Liggins needs to accept a position change, IMO.
Running Back -
We stacked. SEC fricked. Mathers has hit another gear. He broke one off for 96 yards yesterday. The only reason it didn't go for a TD was that Kailo ran him down at the 3 yard line. He fast. Walton didn't play due to a hammy. Dodson looks good and so do Wilkins and Brazley. Wish Dodson would take a RS, though.
WR -
We're thin, but talented. Obvious standouts are Quon and Quincy, but Collins Moore and Cody Core really looked good yesterday. Vince was out with some sort of injury.
OLine -
Same as WR, talented but thin. They looked much better than I had anticipated, though. If they can stay healthy we will be damn good here. Ben Still looks to be our guy at Center, which I'm ok with because we need Conyers at tackle.
Tight End -
Engram is back and looks as good as ever. Channing Ward looks good and I think this is a great move for him. He needs polishing in the passing game, but he has picked up blocking very well.
DLine -
Veterans are all great. As for newcomers, Haynes looks really good. Huge upside there.
Linebackers -
DT is going to be a good replacement for Marry. Very solid . Russell is fast, but lost. He'll get better. Strong made a few good plays, but he was against the 3s.
Corners -
I can't believe it, but this is the position I'm most excited about. Quez and Hilton look great and both some fun plays. Jones hung with Quon on a couple plays. Kailo has a good upside for his speed alone. We're in a great position here.
Safety -
Stacked. Cody is Cody. Trae looks improved. Alford is solid. Hampton looked very impressive for a true freshmen. He got I position for a nice INT that he dropped. Conner had a very nice PBU over Quincy at one point.
All in all, I don't want to get my hopes high based on a spring game, but knowing that we have more help coming to the OLine this summer (Cooper, Morris, Taylor) has me cautiously optimistic.

The only listing I'm seeing on espn3 is last year's game.

I'm sorry, but if you have been following OM for longer than two years, you would know that we are actually pretty deep at WR for our standards. We typically have 1, maybe 2 serviceable guys. We have more than our fair share now, and have Pack available if we choose not to RS. Other than that, I think you pretty much nailed it. If Eli had this WR corp, I don't even...
