UT spring game

[Usedtocould]

Was considering going this year. I assume Roschon will get a decent bit of playing time?

 

[IndianFan]

Yes. He's getting 2nd or 3rd string snaps. Other than reading that he's the quickest QB on the roster, and 'looks like he belongs', I haven't heard much else.
With so few QBs on the roster, he and Thompson have to be ready to go this season. Ehlinger is just one big hit away from damaging his shoulder again.

a dream for me PNG and UT. My two favorite teams at each level.

Same here. Lifelong UT and PNG fan.


I was in the stands as a tike watching the 1970 National Champ Longhorns destroy Rice. I'll never forget that experience. That team featured local high school stars Steve Worster (Bridge City), Cotton Speyrer (TJ), Jim Bertelsen, Eddie Phillips....

We are witnessing the beginning of the end for the onside kick. At least at the NFL level.

The Broncos made a motion at the owners meeting to adopt the AAF rules of you can get the ball back one play from the 35 and gain 15 yards.

Orangebloods.com Insider Notes:


I didn’t ask much about Ehlinger but I did ask about the two back-ups. It’s a bit too early to read too much into their performance, but one person told me he thought they both held up well and looked solid. Thompson can run, but Roschon Johnson was described as the quickest of the QBs by far.

Looks like Johnson is #3 at the moment.

7. Herman on Casey Thompson and Roschon Johnson’s performance during Saturday’s scrimmage: “Casey probably had his best scrimmage. I thought he looked really good. Made some really, really nice throws. Had a couple of checks that were not great, but that’s to be expected. Again, he’s a redshirt freshman, and he’s being thrust into this backup quarterback position. I think he’s progressed for about as good as you can hope for. Would you love for him to have the moxie that Sam [Ehlinger] does at this point? Sure, but being realistic, he’s at, if not ahead, of schedule. Roschon, the game is really fast for him. He’s doing really good things. He made some nice throws today. He made a couple of good reads. Just really, really fast for him. But for a guy who’s had nine to 10 or 11 college practices under his belt, he’s doing just fine.”

Wish he’d’a gotten more playing time. But hey, he’s really technically a HS senior.
