Spring Game: What to watch for



It's here! Today is a little bit of faux-football nirvana to help hold us over for the next few months, enjoy it, soak it in and as always - overreact to performances.

What I'm looking for

- Young Pups- Oklahoma is blessed with an obscene number of Early Enrollees - 12 kids who should still be in high school right now. This is a gift - additional weeks of guided nutrition/strength training + full immersion in the playbook.  Specifically I've heard big things on Murray, Broiles and Calcaterra

- Linebackers - Extremely interested in seeing that young crew. I've said this group is the wild card of the defense linebacker play will be key to Oklahoma's season on defense in either a good or bad manner. JMT,Murray,DeBerry all need attention paid to them. Draper/Gumb likely need a Redshirt but they'll flash

- Running Backs - Expect big days from all three participating. Abdul has had a steady camp., Sutton has flashed brillance and Sermon is picking up the playback and improving daily.  We wont see Anderson today

- WR -  SPEED

- DB - Expect improvement


I'll have a recruiting post up shortly.
