One punter did much better than the other.....and I didn't see Luke Warren on the Roster last year....but he had 2 catches...."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

We are deeper than deep at RB. I thought Law and Brookins looked good.
Oordt looked pretty good at tight end. Had a couple catches in the first half, one of them going for about 40 yards. Might have been blown coverage.
I thought Grace looked better than Eyeman, with the exception or a horrible pass that was intercepted right before half. It's really tough to tell much in scrimages. I'm guessing that battle will continue to the fall. Both looked improved over what I saw of them last year.
Most of last years regulars didn't play for the first half, not sure about the 2nd(Sanders, Cory Lewis, Chris Parsons, Mark Huygens).Selling a lot of old UNI stuff here: http://www.panthernation.com/showthread.php?t=65762Comment

I'll kind of expand on what Rob said.
Lewis and Darian Williams didn't play at RB (as did Eric Sanders). The first drive (maybe 2nd) for the purple team, Brookins and Eyman had a fluid drive capped off by a Brookins TD run. After that, Purple used Josh Fristley (FB) as the RB, while White used Derrick Law pretty much the whole time. Fristley had some solid hard nosed runs, but it seemed to me that it put Eyman at a disadvantage b/c of the lack of an 'around the corner' type threat...they seemed more vanilla on offense, compared to Grace's team. Marcel Jones also got some snaps in the 2nd half with the Purple team, but didn't have much to work with as it was pretty much all 3rd/4th stringers, and I know he has been hobbled by an injury. So, IMO, Eyman and Grace both played better than Jones, but I don't know if that was a fair assessment of Jones. Eyman had some fantastic breakaway speed when things broke down, but I thought Grace's long ball was a little more accurate. Regardless, I feel better about the backup spot, rather than WHO is the backup. There is still 4 months for the backup QB's to continue to fight it out for #2. That's about the same length of time that it took from the end of last season to the beginning of spring ball...so there's still lots of time.
Whitney Lewis was moved to WR, and looked better I thought. Slimmer, but still a big WR. Turner is another WR that showed some things...as did Tyler Reagan at KR/WR. Wesley Williams had a nice Kick Return, and was in on some tackles...I really liked watching him play at KR/DB. At TE, Gilson had one catch for the TD (if memory serves me correctly), but I also think he had a catch for a TD in last year's spring game too. IMO, I still think Oordt and Peterson are probably the better receiving TE's, while Howard is a better blocker. My guess is whoever can become the better blocker b/t Oordt, Peterson, and Gilson will become 1 of the 2 TE's in the 2 TE set, with Howard being the solid choice with his blocking ability. I'm not saying Howard will be a starting TE, just that in the 2 TE sets, Farley seemed to like that blocking TE out there, and Howard seems to be that guy.
I thought both O-lines looked good, but I thought Wes Lane was getting some great pressure at times. It's hard to tell (from my eyes), who stands out on defense, so I'll leave the defensive player reviews to someone else. Heck, my offensive reviews may not exactly be spot on either!

F.B. Recruits
There were several signed(L.O.T.) recruits on the sidelines. In this group was De'veon Harris from Toledo and NiACC. He'll be in fall camp. Several of the other JC recruits will join him in the Fall. This from a former walk-on.Comment

I wasn't there but the stats and articles would lead me to believe that Pat Grace played very well. He was 2nd string last year and I would assume solid 2nd string for 2007.Comment

Question for a newbie to srping ball, why didn't sanders play, or is the spring game more for a chance to give kids to prove themselves?Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP

I'd like to say that I had fun and it's always good to see PTTB, JC and alleycat. Can't wait until the fall!"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Sanders, Parsons, D.Williams, C.Lewis, and Johnny Gray (he only caught punt returns that were never returned) didn't play as far as I can remember. The reason was probably two fold: keep them from injuries and build depth by playing others.
NE4UNI:
I would agree that Pat played great yesterday. Found some very nice openings. He definitely showed the greater arm strength. Something that I noticed though (and maybe I'm off base), but he seemed to run a much more open offense, while DP's squad seemed more limited. Did anyone else feel this way?The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

I thought Whitney Lewis looked better at WR than at RB. However, I was wondering about the idea of putting him in at TE. He probably has the size to make the move, but do you all think that would even be a possibility? Like I said, IMO, he looked better at WR than RB, but the possibility of him at TE is interesting.Originally posted by Panthers to the Bone View PostComment

agree
You are right. O-Line looked good. I thought Grace did a nice job. Bad decision on the throw in the endzone, but I liked that he tried to make a play. DP looked good on the first dive, then his personel changed and the purple team was not as strong. Jones was hurt much of spring ball and I was dissapointed that I only saw him with the 3 and 4s. He did show that he has a canon. Of the 5 passes, 2 of them were big time throws. Better receivers would have made a differrence. It will be interesting to see what 4 months bring.Originally posted by Panthers to the Bone View PostI'll kind of expand on what Rob said.

With all 3 being Sophs......the competition between them will only make them all better.....not to mention Verduzco and watching Sanders......Originally posted by catfan99 View Post"We're not an ordinary school," said Fort.

How many people showed up? I'm guessing a bit less than the 92,000 they had at Alabama's spring game?
