Game Thread Spring Game, Sat 04/15/17 @ 12:30 ET (BTN)

I got a ton of crap for even suggesting we put Burrow in for a series during the Michigan and Clemson games.

I get it - you don't put in a cold QB halfway through a game. And it's different playing against 2nd stringers in a Spring game. And no one's been a bigger JT fan than I have.

That said, when things are clearly not clicking (i.e. at the end of last year), I still think 1 or 2 series with Burrow could have helped spark something (anything) on offense.

Burrow wasn't ready. Plain and simple. scUM's and Clemson's DL would've eaten him alive

A little concerned having seen the state line for JT 8 of 12 for 70 yards... having not seen the game how'd he look? It would indicate again he's not hitting many people in that 10+ yard range
Showcased what he's solid at (short and intermediate routes) and played decently doing so. Seems like they are still working on his confidence with the deep ball, and I'm fine with that. Nothing spectacular, but nothing to be overly concerned about.. Yet. Hopefully Kevin Wilson is out for blood in Game 1, and puts to rest any question we have about Barrett's deep ball ability.
