A Fan’s Notes: Black vs Gold

Related Topics: Luther Burden

The spring game is a chance for a football program to showcase itself as a whole; one would be rash to take away too much from individual performances in a controlled, intra-squad scrimmage six months before actual competition starts.

Occasionally you glimpse proof of a prior belief. For instance, both Caleb Downs at Alabama last season, and Luther Burden in spring 2022, showed that they could play immediately as true freshmen. You would not extrapolate too much regarding statistical projection, but sometimes it is nice to see that guys you believed could play at this level obviously could.
