Colorado spring game thoughts: -OL/DL should be better this year -I like what I saw from LG Brown and DT Barnes gives the Buffs some size -True frosh LT Seaton already 300-plus pounds -WR Wester probably biggest standout, also liked CB Hodge -Hunter playing some NB

It’s a throwback-sized crowd for the spring game. With poor weather, it looks like a pre-Prime crowd at this point #cubuffs https://t.co/tdTH3uiStQ
Nebraska spring game thoughts: -Raiola looks the part (Haarberg also played well) -Biggest surprise was the WR's who could be a team strength -Lloyd and Barney = fast -Sloppy with penalties, TO's, missed FG's -7 straight losing seasons but win total is 7.5...let the hype begin.
Lots of Dante Dowdell in this second half. Oregon transfer running back rips off a 49-yard touchdown and has flashed as a receiver today too. White goes for the conversion and Raiola hits Bullock. White team 22-21, 5:55 3Q.

Dylan Raiola steps out to lead another series here in the third quarter for the White team. A heavy dose of Dante Dowdell on this drive.
Heinrich Haarberg will QB the Red team to open the second half.
Dylan Raiola's 15 first-half completions went to 13 different receivers.
#CUBuffs spring game roster https://t.co/N0FXuLyXbU
Heinrich Haarberg with consecutive completions to tight ends Nate Boerkircher (for 61 yards) and Thomas Fidone (for 5). The junior QB then finds Fidone two plays later out of a messy pocket for a TD strike of 25 yards over the middle.
Dylan Raiola ➡️ Jaylen Lloyd. Get used to that combo. https://t.co/7CO66ZiC4O
Checking in from a wet Folsom Field for the Colorado spring game #cubuffs https://t.co/U8dCOFh9n3
Dante Dowdell powers in for the 1-yard TD. The White team answers with a touchdown after the Raiola fireworks. Most of that came courtesy of Barney's kickoff return. But an uneasy feeling here after the Demitrius Bell injury on that short drive.

More Raiola here on the fourth drive for the Red squad. It starts at the 22, and Raiola finds Isaiah Neyor on the first play for 14.
Dylan Raiola zipped a 33-yard pass to Alex Bullock on third-and-9. It was a thing of beauty through traffic.
White squad is going hurry up on this series for Raiola, who finds Dae'vonn Hall for a nice gain. The freshman QB has hit his first five passes.
Turnover on downs after Haarberg misses Jahmal Banks on third and 6 after a false start. Raiola is out to QB the White team.
Daniel Kaelin looks for his high school teammate, Dae'vonn Hall on third-and-5. It's incomplete. Haarberg will now run the No. 1 offense for the Red team after the Raiola TD drive.
What a first drive for Dylan Raiola and the Red Team. Wish there wouldn't have been PI on that rainbow. Raiola went 4-of-4 on that drive.
Scoring drive for the Reds: 8 plays, 76 yards, 3:43. Dylan Raiola was 4 for 4 for 40 yards (to four different receivers) and the touchdown.
Dylan Raiola looks good!!
Add Jaylen Lloyd to the mix with the top offense. He catches a 7-yard pass from Raiola to get the Red team near the red zone after a DPI call on a deep throw to Neyor. Raiola is 3 for 3 on this possession.
Dylan Raiola gets the nod as the first quarterback to play for the Red team. Big cheers from those in attendance as he trots out onto the field. (Heinrich Haarberg was the first QB to play for the White team.)

Dylan Raiola is out to play QB on the second series for with what appears to be the No. 1 offense.
First offensive play is a short pass from Haarberg to RB Dante Dowdell, the Oregon transfer, for a gain of 5 yards. Mix of reserves in on that series, which ends in a three-and-out for the white team.
All quarterbacks huddled on the east sideline at kickoff. It's unclear who's playing for which team here in Lincoln. But Heinrich Haarberg, the most experienced, is out to run the first series.
Good luck to @CUBuffsFootball today on their spring game! 🏈 #GoBuffs https://t.co/aPqtKzjp7P
