Daniel looked good as well. McLain made some plays too. Love Baity's physicality at that position.
Put Kobie Walker in the category of played well.
If Daniels, Ware and Walker can get pressure and let the LBer's not have to blitz just to try and get pressure that would be major for UK.
Tennessee fans were extremely excited about a special announcement during their spring game. The content of the announcement was kept a secret all week long. There were a lot of speculations, including Fulmer becoming a part of the program in some fashion and Peyton Manning possibly becoming the QBs coach. The announcement was that they will have permanent captains this season. A lot of disappointment in that announcement. Kind of makes me chuckle.
Walker still needs to get a little bigger. I think he will compete.
How did Laster play? Thought I would hear his name as an unstoppable force. Is that because defense was vanilla?
Laster made some tackles. Showed some closing speed.
Think Laster was up and down. Tried to do too much, didn't always stay on assignment
Leavitt will be fine. It's going to take some time for him to adjust. Patience.
Apparently not, because Gran said if he's able to run 85 plays a game, he's running 85 plays a game.
Also, I'm seeing a ton of complaining about Leavitt, but not nearly enough praise for Ware.
Agree would like to see him put on 15 to get to the 230 range. With that speed and added strength the kid would be big time.
I think it would ultimately doom Stoops's tenure here, following last season's collapse. Whatever the reason for it was, closing the season the way we did, after the fan base got so hyped, was devastating. Following that up with yet another disappointing season could cost him the fans' support entirely.
Given the way the schedule sets up, we could easily lose 3 of our last 4 (UGA, UT, UL). If we get to the Austin Peay game with 4 or 5 wins, then ending the year 1-3 in the month of November will definitely be a downer unless we lose those 3 very close. At that point we may limp into a bowl at 6-6. It won't cost Stoops his tenure to do that, but it will definitely have some folks grumbling. Anything more he is safe and sound. Anything less and he's sizzling like bacon.
A 6 win season or better is the key and how we get there is irrelevant. 2017 is setting up to be the best team we have had in a long time. We just need a bowl this year and some surprise upsets to carry us into 2017.
Stoops's tenure isn't doomed here. Remember Barney gave him a contract extension and raise just prior to the collapse of his second season.
Just finished watching the Spring Game on the DVR. Not a fan of the running clock, but hey they gotta get these spring games done in 2 hours or less so the SEC Network can move on to the next one.
Stoops says he has about 30 guys who are ready. Need 60.
Ware looked good, but Leavitt and our OTs in pass protect are not a strength. Leavitt got a taste and now knows he needs to get in SEC shape. He will be better in the fall. Ware came on late in spring. Hopefully today have him confidence to work hard this summer to be consistently what this team needs him to be.

Yea, who would want Mosier to improve? He should recognize he's nothing but a backup to a 5* whatever.
More importantly, in the Spring you don't have enough players to have sufficient depth to go any more plays. Smart not to go longer.
