Midweek Review: 2021 Gophers Spring Game

The important thing to remember is that spring games are far less important than we sometimes like to act like it is. There's just not much to go off of when a set of guys from one team faces another from the same team in one game with often janky rules and sometimes several significant players unavailable. There are plenty of spring game all-stars who don't amount to much, just as there are guys who don't perform in spring games who turn into major contributors. With this much noise, that's how it goes.

That doesn't mean Saturday's 24-17 Maroon victory over Gold can't inform any part of how we understand the 2021 Gophers. Consider many of the following thoughts related to the spring game and partly supported by points of evidence it provided, but generally not observations on the game specifically.

Note: All stats I cite from Saturday's game are unofficial.
