Obviously, Heupel is installing a brand new system on offense that everybody will want to get a glimpse of. His tempo-based spread is nothing if not fun to watch, and after the last two years, it will be a welcome change.
Making it more intriguing is a quarterback battle. Five guys are expected to compete for the job, but only three of them competed in the spring: Harrison Bailey, Brian Maurer and Hendon Hooker. What they do in this event could resonate in a big way.
A stable of new running backs, a go-to receiver, edge rushers and questions on the back end of the defense are all things to pay attention to as well. Simply put, it’s a fresh start for everybody, and it’s what makes this spring game so welcome.
