Well if it makes anyone feel better Matty struggled a bit in the OM spring game, however their starter looked prime. Granted he got some reps last year.
On a different note I watched both of the TAMU and OM games and to their credit they actually looked like they were playing a "real game". The defenses did not hold back except limited blitzing and I'm sure the offenses did not scroll through the entire playbook....
At risk of starting a sh!t storm I have to ask why we didn't have a more intense scrimmage? To me the whole thing seemed like a late afternoon playground pick up BB game where the intensity is gone so guys let each other blow by for a dunk with the understanding of the other guy doing the same.....The whole "running clock" in the 2nd half.....letting QB's continue to play after obviously being tagged by a defender......counting the celebrity TD's.....You'd get the feeling we were just coming off a NC and had a set roster.....
The other schools were cracking pads and going at least 80-90%....Hell there were plays were our Dline never even got into a stance. Guys kicking FG's without a dline on the field? C'mon I can still knock one through from 40 yards off a tee......I understand the whole injury bit but we need to find players. I had more intense scrimmages in Jr. High than I saw out there.
