Spring Game 2012

Led by MVPs Tony Pierson and Michael Reynolds, the Kansas "Blue" team won Saturday's Spring Game 45-0 over the "White" team. The "Blue" team was essentially comprised of the first string players; the "White" team: the second and third string players. Actually, Michael Reynolds suited up for what came to be known as the "Light Blue" team (mostly defensive linemen), but for conversation's sake, he led a stifling "Blue" team defense. Here's hoping that he translates that to the "real" team this fall.

Dawning of a New Era

Just months into his contract, it is clear to even the most casual observer that El Capitan Weis is running a tight ship on the Mount Oread (giving Skipper Leach a run for his money at Washington State). As scrupulous as they come, Chuck has Saturday's Spring Game planned out to the very minute... he has also cut the cord on several knaves.Today we will cover that and much, much more (albeit, this should be a relatively happy post all the same!). Although it may be a little scatter-shot, today's overarching themes: change, newfangled discipline, a new era of KU Football.

A Method to His Madness

You may notice that the offensive version of the "Pre-Spring Depth Chart" is a little--well--unconventional. Yes, it meets the requirements mandated by NCAA rules, with at least 7 men on the line of scrimmage, and yes, it features a quarterback, halfback, two tackles, two guards, and a center, like most successful offenses, but where the offense loses its familiarity is with the wide-outs, fullbacks, and tight ends. Fear not, because Mr. Weis knows a thing or two about running an offense. Today, I will touch on the unique packages that Weis will incorporate on the offensive side of the ball, and what Dave Campo and the defense plan to do this fall, all the while counting down the days until kickoff.
