| 0:00.0 | Texas may not have aired their spring game slash practice, but don't worry. We scoured the internet. We have highlights. We have analysis. Talk to some people that are there watching it. So you came to the right place if you're trying to find info on what happened today with Texas in their spring game scrimmage, however you want to call it. We're going to have the highlights playing the whole time so you can check it out. David Cohn, former Michigan quarterback. We're going to talk Michigan. They kick off here soon on their spring game. Blaine Crane from a Western State Colorado wide receiver. Blaine, I want to start with you because, again, we've been monitoring this thing. We wanted to bring the Texas fans, some analysis at least from today. And I think the main two headlines that I have taken out of this is one, |
| 0:39.5 | KJ Lacey is a legitimate problem as a backup quarterback. And J. Bishop Jr. at wide receiver |
| 0:47.9 | had a heck of a day to day. Diabelle, a little bit beat up. This wasn't about Archmanning. This wasn't about Cam Coleman. This is about showing and showcasing the depth you have around them. And I thought at least on the offensive side, we'll get to the defensive side. It looked like Texas may have found some answers. Yeah, sure. I know we're going to get to the defensive side. But Biles, too, I thought, looked pretty good today today especially on the pressures that he had but like people |
| 1:11.2 | need to realize you're only as good as your backup quarterback right and I think Texas might be if not have the |
| 1:17.2 | best backup quarterback in the country and KJ Lacey and this isn't a surprise to me don't call me a nerd |
| 1:22.8 | whatever you want but if you ever played NCAA 26 when arts for the draft, KJ was one of the best that |
| 1:29.4 | you would see the entire year. So I wouldn't be surprised to see KJ, maybe in some packages this |
| 1:34.9 | year. I know Arch can run and do all these things, but the depth of what they have at the |
| 1:38.9 | quarterback position, if you're Steve Sarkeesian, you're feeling fantastic, fantastic just to have that piece. If anything were to happen to arts, which obviously you don't want to, but having a guy like KJ who can just step right in and you not lose a beat. I mean, if you're Sart, you have to feel astonishing. I just go back and look at national championship teams. It starts where not only quarterback with the staff. I mean, you have Steve Sarkesian, you have Stoops, you have Will Muzchamp. I'm telling you, Texas this year is going to be a fun watch. Well, and Cohn, you know, again, I think from a play calling standpoint, when you have a backup quarterback that you trust in, I think you can be a little bit more aggressive in the |
| 2:17.7 | quarterback run game in certain situations as opposed to just trying not to get a guy hurt |
| 2:22.0 | because you don't have anything behind them. But when I watch KJ today and you're seeing these |
| 2:26.0 | highlights, what I like is yes, he's different than Arch in the way he can kind of keep plays |
| 2:30.7 | alive. He's a little bit of a different flavor of ice cream. But I also liked watching |
| 2:35.0 | his footwork in the pocket, stepping up, moving around, being able to throw the seed there in the |
| 2:41.4 | middle and putting the ball in spots that as a quarterback, you just can't go out there and out |
| 2:45.3 | athlete everybody at this level. Well, one of my favorite parts about spring practice is getting to |
| 2:49.7 | see a lot of the two deep and three, three deep guys, especially at the quarterback position. Quite frankly, it was one of my favorite parts about spring practice because it meant I got to take some meaningful reps when I was in Ann Arbor. But on the Texas side specifically, and I was, I spent most of my time watching the Buckeyes. I thought the exact same thing about Tavia and St. Clair. I know we're going to get to a Buckeyes recap, too. |
| 3:26.5 | It throws a great deep ball. So I love everything you guys are saying about the backup quarterback situation at Texas. But look, we've had to, we've had to see those guys get called into meaningful action the last couple years. I mean, even when Quinn yours was the quarterback and Arch had to come in, even when Malik Murphy was there before Malik Murphy transferred out. |
| 3:41.7 | So it's very realistic. You know, I know Texas fans don't want to hear it. But, yeah, I mean, I think Blaine makes a good point. You're only as good as your backup quarterback. And really, you're two and three deep guys across the roster because this is a collision sport and guys are going to go down. and that's why you spend the type of money in Austin that they spend so that you can have reliable guys |
| 3:46.2 | in backup key positions. What were some of you guys other biggest takeaways so far from the |
| 3:51.3 | clips that we've seen go around? Well, you know, there obviously isn't going to be as many |
| 3:55.8 | defensive clips as there are offensive clips. |
