There was a lot of excitment and energy for the opening week of spring football.
Rocky Long and Bob Toledo gave the Lobos high marks for effort but said the team definitely needs more work before coaches can give real grades.
I wrote a story for Saturday's paper about Robert Turner, who is dodging doctors' orders and participating in sping football despite off-season surgery to repair a shattered wrist. The Lobos need this guy to step up in a big way next season. By my count, he's the only four-year starter on the roster and one of only a handful of players who has been in the program five years and seen real playing time. Every bit of learning he can do from the sidelines and during light drills helps.
We also have a Saturday feature called Behind the Bleachers that had some Lobo football flavor this week. I thought quarterbacks Kole McKamey and Chris Nelson did a great job sharing five new things about Bob Toledo's offense.
My favorite quote was from Kole. "No more option, thank God."
