Spring Game

Last Saturday we gathered with 17,000 of our closest friends to watch the annual Blue-White spring scrimmage. However, we spent the whole time cheering for a guy in green. Beth's baby brother Kurt is a walk-on QB currently battling for the #2 spot.
The scrimmage was designed to give the second and third teams a chance to show off. I thought the coaches did a great job with the structure. With so many returning starters there's no point to see what we already know, and at the same time risk an injury. It was a lot of fun to see the young players in a game setting.
Kurt did awesome. You can read a wrap up of the game here. I'm the first to admit that we are biased but in our opinion he looked the sharpest and most comfortable under center. He was 7-10 for 70 yards and was the only QB to consistently sustain drives. In his post game interviews Coach Mendenhall said "a real bright spot this Spring has been the play of Kurt McEuen." He went on to say the Kurt has "at least" pulled even for the backup job and the battle will continue into Fall. As for the rest of the team I'll just say I think we can go ahead and chalk up a couple more undefeated Mountain West Conference titles.
*I'll post more pictures as I gather them from various sources (once again no camera). We bought Jack a hat to protect his little white head and he just loved it.
