Carter fumbling in the first is not going to help him get playing time this season.

Drive stalls after the pass from Thompson falls incomplete on 4th and 9.

Walk-On RB Tim Yoder with the TD run. 24-13 White team still leads.

My five quick thoughts
1. The offensive line isn't much better than last year's version.
2. The defense looks salty. Roach and Hager definitely stood out tonight.
3. LJH is the best running back on the squad, with Yoder coming in second.
4. The two young QB's will be at the top of the depth chart next year.
5. LJH and Johnson will be the offense this next season.
After what I saw tonight I am downgrading my expectations for next season. 7 wins in the regular season.

First half was 12min quarters, 2nd half was 10min.
OL didn't get enough push on run plays for sure, hard to tell from 3rd row at stadium about pass pro.
i thought most punts were pretty good, looked like he had a 60yarder in there.
3 10+ yard runs from RBs all game that I can remember, 1 by Young and 1 by Carter, Carter just isn't impressive.
J McCollough with a few pressures and a coule sacks. Maybe he gets more time a B-Backer?
Collin and LJH both played well. Reece played decent from what I rememeber.
4th Q, Thompson with back to back dimes and then a 20yarder couple plays later.
Overall, first half, we just arnt crisp. Penalties will kill drives again. I just don't think we can recover from a penalty Bc yards seem too hard to come by at this point. OL needs to spend every waking second together. Maybe sleep next to each other in sleeping bags. RBs are opposite of dynamic. Duvernay with 1 very nice deep catch where he got hit and held on. No much else. LJH and CJ are studs. No huge drops on the day. Few close calls on tipped passes. Sam no Shane stood out, neither will take over the game. Neither was bad. Horrible fumbled exchange on RPO early btw Sam and Carter.
Zero sum game, many guys that will play snaps out and Anderson should take over at LT in a couple months.
Hope recruiting went great this weekend! Weather held up great.

A bit of an over reaction imho... If this team only has 7 wins, Herman's seat will be extremely hot and recruiting will probably fall apart. Not happening.
I saw positives and negatives, but overall feel better about this team than I did at this time last year.
You want the defense to look salty against your offense at this time of the year. It was a vanilla offense, showed off a couple long throws for the fans and recruits and nobody got hurt - mission accomplished.
Herman and staff will fine tune this thing and get their 10 wins. May not be pretty at times, but will get it done.

Agree, O-line was on field every minute. They were dog tired. I saw a lot of improvements. Our offense moved the ball on a D that see em every single practice. This game in no way should have lowered people standards.

Some very random thoughts.
Defense plays with a confident swagger. Not sure that they won't be every bit as good as last year. No need to elaborate anymore than that.
Offense has a ways to go to get the same confident swagger the defense has. Or any swagger at all for that matter. To me, neither Sam nor Shane look like they have the swagger you need at the QB position. At best, both look to be above average and that's only if all the other positions are clicking on offense. I just don't see "great" in either one of them.
WR's could be pretty good next year but I will have to see it to believe it. Looks like we will finally have contributions from the TE position.
Kind of hard to tell where the OL really stands based on the spring game but we really need both Calvin Anderson and Patrick Hudson to be "plus" players next year.
Hope that K. Ingram comes ready to play and that he is the real deal because I don't see any evidence that Young or Carter are really difference makers. Of course, that could also have something to do with the OL.

I'm with you.
Calvin Anderson should be the best OL next year and Kerstetter should be good. The best case scenario after that is that out of Hudson, Okafor, Grandy, and Cosmi, that 3 of them are good enough to start ahead of the trio of Shack, Vahe, and Rodriquez. Unless Hand has some magic up his sleeve, the fewer of that trio that starts the better.
