There are still more questions than answers

Spring games are usually fun to watch and provide a bit of relief that comes with the long wait during multiple months of the lengthy college football offseason. But the fact of the matter is that college football spring games usually still leave various fan bases with more questions than answers.

And that appeared to be the case coming out of the Orange-White Game this weekend.

I fully believe that it was good for underclassmen at the quarterback position (as well as other spots on the roster) get the spring game reps at DKR in front of the fans. But we didn’t get to see what these quarterbacks could do under the pressure of live-game situations while having actual pass rushers coming at them.

We also didn’t get to see how the interior offensive line would perform against legitimate Power Five competition since the teams were mixed between first, second, and third-teamers in the trenches on both sides of the ball in this spring game.

I still think we will learn more about this team during summer workouts and early in fall camp as Sark and the Longhorns continue to gear up for a promising 2023 campaign on the 40. Spring ball did teach us that this roster has more talent and depth than in the prior two years under Sark. And there were some position battles that progressed throughout camp.
