What did we learn from the Spring Game?

1. This is a crazy good WR corps, and couple of these young guys will get onto the field.
2. The defense looks so much more organized and is aggressive. Few blown assignments. Calls in on time. Very clean for a team putting in a new system. Says a lot about Aranda.
3. Etling isn't bad, and has the speed to run the same plays as Harris.
4. McMillan is a distant 3rd at QB.
5. Harris has tightened some things up mechanically, but we really didn't see enough to know how much he's improved.
6. The first team O Line looked good despite some reserves playing due to injury.
I think the staff wanted to keep from showing much, and that's understandable. They let a ton of walk-ons play, which is fine. We'll have to wait and see if the offense is really as improved as we've heard, but I think we saw an upward trend on defense. That's enough to get me excited about next year.

pretty fun to watch and I am glad it was on tv...but I can't really say that I could tell much at all about the quality of the team from what I saw.

Absolutely nothing

Dee Anderson is the truth.
Defense will be elite.
Harris short passing game is way better than what it was last season.
Etling is #2
Mcmilly is still rough around the edges
Lil Fournette is good
Oline is good
Craig has put in a lot of work with the WRs
Xavier Lewis is good.
ETA:
Going into the summer there is no major things that must be address.
The passing game already looks improved if we can build off the improvement we saw today this could be the season we beat bama and make it to Atl.
The defense will cause a lot of havoc this year. We have seen a lot of qb sacks.
WR drops have seem to be fixed.

We suck and will lose 5

I think the D will be fine and the offense will be better

Next to impossible to glean much from a spring game. I only watched the first half and was very pleased with the defense overall. Fournette is still a monster, our WR group is pretty damn good. Beyond that, we'll just have to see

The turf is weak.
Ref- underwhelming big cat drill

The spread concepts worked better than I form toss dive. Who would have thought?

Godchaux has been moved to nose tackle, Lacoutoure to DE

Herron looked good.

Saivion Smith and Dee Anderson are the real deal.
Defense is going to be very good and very disruptive. A lot of defensive players benefit from Arandas scheme and looks like they enjoy playing in it.
Harris looks way more comfortable, confident, and improved. Etling looks like a solid backup for us, which is nice to have.
Jazz Ferguson has stepped his game up a lot.
Frank Herron looked good.
Chidi is still very raw.
Mouton looks a lot bigger and improved.
Also really like how Aranda uses Tre White, especially as the nickel back.

Yea I agree I accidentally forgot to mention Saivion. He was very effective.

Jazz Ferguson is the big body WR we were missing out out last season.

Lsu has two okay, decent QBs.
Posted on 4/16/16 at 5:33 pm to KG5989
Etling looked like a solid backup. Hope he gets the work in the fall to be able to step in when needed and make the plays.

I went out there today and enjoyed watching the guys we had never seen before as much as the guys we have.
This team is too talented for even Miles to frick up, I think.
Let's be patient.

That we have a boat load of talent - as usual. Enough to whup everyone on our schedule.
Beyond that, it's hard to find much substance from these.
