Yes, it was a little ragged and disjointed, and we've got some work to do, but good lawd it's the SPRING GAME! It's always that way. There are always concerns, and the bad usually turns out not as bad as it looked when fall rolls around, and the good not quite as good. I remember Will Proctor looking like Trevor Lawrence one spring, then getting benched halfway thru next season. There are plenty of similar examples. Spring games, especially now, under the current format, are little more than a glitzed-up practice with some rules to make it fun for players and fans alike. Don't read too much into it. I can't help but be excited by the talent I saw all over the field again today, and I'm not just talking about the cheerleaders. We continue to be WRU; if we can stay healthy, we will once again have one of the very best WR crews in the country. We will have another future 1st round QB throwing to them, but depth is a MAJOR, SERIOUS concern there. We have the deepest, most diversley talented stable of running backs I can remember in the nearly 60 years I've been following Clemson football. I think we are approaching the "Power Rangers" level on DL again and have multiple future NFL starters there. Impressed with TE play as well. The raw talent is there at DB to be outstanding, just gotta build discipline there. Looks like we are finally building quality depth at LB. Kicking game with Spiers (hasn't he been here since Tommy West?) and Potter is strong. I left OL for last, because it continues to be a concern, and I don't know that I learned anything, one way or the other, today about that group. I do know that we have recruited very well there, but I know that an O-line must be developed, so we'll have to see, but I'm not giving up. If we stay healthy at QB, I feel confident we can win the ACC and be in the playoff again. If our OL develops, it could be an epic season. All-in-all, it felt dang good to see Clemson football today, and I can't wait to see that place packed this fall.
