Some folks say you can't get much take on a team by watching spring games, but I disagree. Sure they are exibitions and sometimes staged to show off a particular talent but you can read between the lines.
I focus on Big10 teams. Last spring Ohio State's secondary looked lost in the spring game. Myers said before the game that Barrett was hitting 90% of long throws, a big improvement! He never threw a long one in that spring game. Hmmm. In the regular season Oklahoma exposed that secondary, mainly linebackers, and Barrett was not improved.
Michigan's offense was sputtering in the spring game and the defense was outstanding. Same thing in the regular season.

Thanks for posting link to spring game schedules , Bud. I think a lot of information can be gained thru watching Spring football. With all of the coaching / Coordinator changes , QB changes , 111 underclassmen declaring for the NFL draft , and graduations, some teams will look a lot different than they did last season. Spring games give us a first glimpse of where teams are relative to last season. While I don't take them too seriously , It's a good chance to see where a team might over or underperform at key positions coming out of the gate in week 1.

I will be very interested in watching Florida , Fla. St. as well as as well as Texas A&M ( all on 4 / 14 ) to see how well players are responding to their new Head Coaches.

Wise - can you remind me of what your early early season rule of thumb is on teams with new coaches, new OC's and new QBs? You told me this several years ago. Will you not touch them in September? Thank you in advance.

LH , I have a rule where I will not wager on a team with a new HC , O and / or D Coord. , or QB in weeks 1 & 2 so I can get a little " history " on their capability.Also , teams typically do not play quality opponents early so you have to temper your assessment going forward from there with that in mind. The only exception to this is if the change results in a potentially measurable improvement in a team and value is created vs the line on the matchup.

LH , It's important to note that above and beyond normal losses due to graduation , this year there are also 111 underclassmen who have declared for the upcoming NFL draft. This means that a number of prominent teams are highly likely to start slow due to a high percentage of net offensive and / or defensive production lost.
Be careful of high priced faves in week 1.
