What do you want to see from the spring game?
Obviously number one on anyone's list is no injuries but I like that Harbaugh has gone live with everyone as there is no two hand touch in the fall. After that, I'm going to go with
1. quarterbacks connecting with receivers. As long as JOK and Speight don't look like Sheridan and Threet, I'll be pleased since I think we can be very good even with a game managing qb.
2. Wide receiver depth. Will Drake Harris finally emerge? Will Ahmir Mitchell play well for a freshman?
3. Will Tyrone Wheatley JR live up to his spring hype?
4. Jabrill Peppers at LB. I'm guessing this gets shelved until the season so nobody gets ae on it.
5. Offensive line getting push. We have a great DL even though we're without Glasgow and Gary so as long as we're not getting stoned on every run and get some good runs I'll be encouraged.
6. A reasonably full stadium. With colder weather, M14 construction, being on a weekday etc. I think that it will be very sparsely populated. We probably won't get 60K again this year but hopefully we don't have a completely empty stadium for recruits.
Any others?

no injuries.
aside from staying healthy, id really love to see several of the 2nd OL group play well - kugler, dawson, bushell-beatty, ulizio, runyan, etc, dont really care who, they just need to find another 2-3 guys capable of playing. i think bredeson will play this fall regardless but itd be nice to see real growth from that 2nd OL.
also really hoping dymonte thomas picks up where he left off last year and continues to progress into solid playmaker
Yes, it would be great to see some signs of life from the younger developmental lineman like JBB, Ulizio and Runyan. Very little depth beyond the top 6 OL this year and it gets downright scary in 2017.

Let's see Harbaugh and Brown try to out-yell each other. And NO injuries!!!

Oh and like everyone else, no injuries.

Boobs... ?
or were you thinking of a different kind?
A wise man once told me... "The thing about boobs is once you've seen one, you kind of want to see them all."

No injuries and don't care about anything else. I get to see a Michigan football game!!!
even though it's just the spring game, it would be nice having someone (either O'Korn or Speight) have a really impressive day. Sorry but I can't see any possible way that Morris is in this mix ... he's already had 2 years of trying and he's never been able to show good decision making.
Solid QB play will make this team competitive with anyone they play !
Go Blue!
NO INJURIES. That is all.
If the offense looks real good, MGoFolks will panic about the defense. If the offense sucks, apologists will break out the tired refrain about "the defense is always ahead of the offense early in the year." No matter what happens, we are all certain to over analyze and worry. Such is the life of a fanatical fanbase. Everyone will be like...
WR, TE and RB making plays.

Ty Issac and Kareem Walker on a few good runs, some playmaking from Dudes on D, and no injuries, of course.
I would like more than one offensive touchdown.
No injuries is a prerequisite.
After that, I don't think we'll see stellar play from the OL because it won't be the cohesive 1's and 2's together. But if they can at least manage a decent game, I'll be happy with it overall. I'd really like to see a balanced game, with both offense and defense showing some playmaking ability. The D making it hard for the O to sustain drives, but the O doing it sometimes, anyway.
With limited packages on both sides, and (no doubt) some cautionary words about hitting, I'll settle for a good, balanced game that isn't an easy win for either team.

No wind and no rain. Also completed passes. Kate Upton would also be nice.

2) I'd like to see the QBs on point with the receivers. Chesson and Darboh were making gong strides, especially Chesson, towards the end of the season. Part of continuing that momentum is having the QB be on the same page as they are.
2) Would love to see the OL and RB play pick up where it left off. I don't expect them to have a ton of success against the DL, but ideally I'd like to see a give and take battle between both lines. The OL guys have been starting and playing together for a while now. Hopefully it all starts coming together this Fall.
3) LB play. How good do Peppers and Bush look, specifically? I know there will be growing pains at this position, but we've got two darn good athletes at that position now so I'm hoping they look comfortable tomorrow.
4) No injuries. Again, please, dear 8 lb 6 oz baby Jesus, no injuries.
