10-Point Recap of Everyone Else’s Spring Game

Call me lazy, and you would be correct in doing so, but it’s time to speed these spring recaps up to where they reach the “we’re done with these” phase.  I’m slow and behind on everything, and no one wants to read about a worthless game played a month ago or whenever it was.  So, I’m throwing everyone on the plate and serving up some SEC spring game recap train wreck, with a side salad of your choosing (provided you get it yourself).

• The defense is ahead of the offense and was really flying around to ball, especially on Saturday (Note:  Does not and will never apply to Arkansas)
• The offensive line just needs more reps with one another to get comfortable (Note:  Does not apply to Ole Miss; they are firmly entrenched in the “need players capable of playing offensive line” category)
• Young and/or inexperienced quarterbacks made some good plays and bad plays, but, you know, they really came a long way this spring
• Keep an eye on that young safety/corner, he made plays all spring and could be a breakout star in the fall
• For how much information got thrown at the defense/offense, they picked everything up pretty well; there’s room to improve, but the coaches are fairly pleased (Note:  Except Bobby Petrino)
• The fan support on Saturday was tremendous; the players enjoyed getting a little taste of playing in front of a crowd after all the hard work they put in this spring (Note:  Does not apply to Kentucky and Vanderbilt)
• There was a scary moment in the third quarter when blood start shooting out of the eyes of one of the coaches; trainers were called, but were waved away and he continued coaching (Note:  Only applies to Will Muschamp)
• The kicking game was a little inconsistent, but there are some good things going on there (Note:  Does not apply to Tennessee, as several spectators were injured by shanked kicks and punts)
• Head coach summary of the game:  “We’re coming along quite nicely, quite felicitously in the areas where we find a need or want for standards to rise to level at which we, as coaches, feel comfortable as we move into the next period of the season where things will need to rise in intensity and passion with which all our gusto becomes a part of what we’re trying to accomplish.”  (Note:  Only applies to Les Miles)
