Damaramu 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 Since Spring training is wrapping up in College Football I was wondering if anyone went to any spring practices or scrimmages? I of course went and visited OU football many times. Today they had the annual Red/White game and it was pretty good. The Red was first team offense and second team defense and the White was second team offense and first team defense. The Red won 24-3. The offense is still putting up numbers like it was last season and the O-Line seems to be holding up better. They seem to be able to finally run the ball. But from what I was noticing they couldn't run it very well. Which I suppose is an improvement over not being able to run at all. Then again Adrian Peterson who everyone claims will be the greatest player in the history of OU football isn't there yet. Couple of other things I noticed was that the D-Line is missing Tommie Harris. I mean they're still good and were making plays but that guy was a big help. He took double and triple teams from the opposing teams O-Line because he was so imposing and allowed the other lineman to make plays. Well without him there the D-Line has to step up more. Paul Thompson played first team offense as QB. And from what I saw he can probably step in and reproduce numbers close to what White did. The guy is really good. And he can run, something Jason White can't do. However White was there and is playing another season. So the word is that Thompson will red shirt this year so that he can start after White leaves. Where this leaves Rhett Bomar, the new "star" QB out of Texas, I don't know. So anyways that's my spring football scouting report. I know there's a lot of college guys on here. One of you has to have gone to a spring practice or scrimmage. Or at least heard something. Any questions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I cover the team for the local city paper, and I must admit, even tho it was just a series of scrimmages and practices, finished off by a 'game,' it was still a lot of fun to keep up with. College football is college football, and it kicks ass to follow. I can't wait for August. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
