Perched in the press box atop Ohio Stadium, Dispatch beat reporter Ken Gordon offers up some quick thoughts on the spring game:

What we learned

That Joe Bauserman is a real live quarterback and not just a novelty ex-pitcher. Terrelle Pryor might end up playing some this fall, but he will only be asked to master a special package of plays. In case something happens to Todd Boeckman, the Buckeyes will need a No.2 quarterback who can run the entire offense, and based on this day, Bauserman deserves the nod over Antonio Henton.

What we still don't know

Exactly what the offense will look like this fall. The formations and play calls were significantly different than what the team showed in the jersey scrimmage last weekend. Then, tailback Brandon Saine played a key role, with 15 carries or catches. Yesterday, he ran four times and had no catches. The hunch here is that yesterday was not a good indicator of things to come, but rather a day to look at guys who won't play much this fall.
