Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Blue / White Spring game
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Likely going to transfer, reported that over a week ago on the premium side of things.
Yes, I know. Thus my surprise that he was listed in the program.
Going to assume that is he's not officially gone yet so they're going to keep him on the roster until he is. I'm sure James will be asked about KLS's availability following today.
Lambert-Smith is not present during warm-ups by the way.
When it comes to the returners, notably both Quinton Martin and Julian Fleming are among the group.

Kaytron Allen will be a no-go today. No surprise after missing the last few practices. Have not heard anything that would suggest that his ailment is anything to be concerned about long term.
For the White team I spotted a starting offensive line of....
J'Ven Williams - Ilaivavega Ioane - Nick Dawkins - Cooper Cousins - Nolan Rucci.
J'Ven Williams - Ilaivavega Ioane - Nick Dawkins - Cooper Cousins - Nolan Rucci.
KJ Winsston will be a no-go today as well. Winston has been banged up the last few weeks, appeared to be some sort of hand or lower arm injury based off some Instagram story posts during the Easter break.
Partly cloudy with winds gusts upwards of 30-35 mph. Winds are staying a rather constant 15-20 mph.
After a poor attempt at fielidng the kickoff. James Franklin was not happy with RB London Montgomery and his effort.
Sounds about like the weather in Columbus - OSU's Spring game - earlier today. Very windy in both places
My biggest takeaway so far is that the running back room is going to be just fine going forward. Wide receiver room is still very much a major concern for the program as well.
Will have to rewatch this one at home to get a second look but right now, it certaintly hasn't been great.

Allar to Saunders looked like it was the combination that they were trying to get going early, but couldn’t quite click. Beau has the second team oh line in, but he’s still not much of a thrower.
Drew is throwing the ball with a nice touch today. His wide receivers are not helping him, however.
AJ Harris, the transfer from the University of Georgia looks, really, really good going up against the first team.
Well that's two drops by the wide receivers. Exact same score as last year. I will say this though, Harris is straight up lock down city
He looks fantastic. Homerun portal get for sure.
Wallace, Saunders and Clifford looked decent. Allar looked pretty good. The young backs all looked capable. If Drew gets hurt we are in trouble.
I really wanted to see some Allar to Fleming, and with basically none of the receivers catching the ball except Harrison Wallace and Liam Clifford’s token once-per-game catch, I have no idea why they can’t just throw him in there with the first team.
50 degrees and 40 mph winds,. Glad I stayed in FL. Could be smallest crowd in years. 8 bet that many locals are hunke4ed down watching ESPN
Looks like a big gap between 15 and 9. But we have to remember 9 is with the second team. Grunk looks good as do the young RBs.
King Mack back "returning" the second half kickoff. The sophomore ceratintly looks a bit bigger this spring.
They need to let Beau play with the first group and throw every down to see if he can do it. We know he can run, can he stand in and throw?
Agree with you here... Allar is clearly steps ahead of Pribula, Drew I would say has had a really nice day, throwing the ball with a good touch, just not getting much help. Pribula just hasn't developed as a passer as they've hoped for. His decision making is still okay at best and his accuracy needs plenty of work as well. I thought Grunk has looked good all things considered, getting the ball out quickly has a nice zip and touch on his passes as well.
Abdul Carter is also just far above the guys he is playing against.
Quinton Martin is looking like he’s on another tier as well.
Cooper Cousins hurt. And it doesn’t look like the kind of just “banged up” kind of hurt. Arm hanging dead at his side.
