A lot of questions were answered at the Oregon Ducks spring game on Saturday afternoon.
For instance, we finally got to see backup QB Ty Thompson play an entire game, and answered the question of what he would look like once given multiple series to settle in and get comfortable in the rhythm of the game. We also got an answer to the question about Jamal Hill and his transition from safety to linebacker.
Whether it was fireworks from WR Tez Johnson, physical running from Dante Dowdell, inspiring play from Cole Martin, or expected steadiness from Bo Nix, there were a ton of things that took place on Saturday, and several offseason questions that got answered.
Going forward, though, a few questions remain for Dan Lanning and this Oregon team as they enter the second stretch of the offseason and prepare for the fall.
“Do we really truly have the depth to play as many players as we’d like to play?” Lanning asked on Saturday after the game. “We’re gonna go back and you know, continue to evaluate that. How do things sort out really on the offensive line for us? I think we have to take a hard look at that and figure out where we’re the best there and there’s just a lot of pieces, right? A lot of pieces of the puzzle.”
While there are several things that we learned in the scrimmage, we won’t truly know all of the answers until the season starts in September. Once you get the Ducks on a field with a team not wearing green and yellow, then you’ll be able to see how dynamic and physical they can really be. The depth will become clear once the roster isn’t split into two teams, and the offensive line can show what it’s capable of when playing as an entire unit.
We answered several questions on Saturday, but many, many more remain for Lanning and Co.
