Football podcast: Previewing the Spring Game

Who’s going to shine in Stanford’s 2015 Spring Game? Who’s going to burst onto the stage and make a big name for himself? Just how good will Stanford’s offense be this season behind a fifth-year Kevin Hogan, Devon Cajuste, an experienced offensive line and a terrifying quartet of tight ends? And finally, will the defensive line be able to weather the continued injuries?

Daily football writers and KZSU broadcasters Michael Peterson, Vihan Lakshman and Do-Hyoung Park answered those questions — and more — on the special pre-Spring Game edition of the Stanford Football Insider Show.

    Aww hope springs eternal.. then to enhance the recipe, add some good reasoning… pop it in the spring game and voila`.. mmm delicious..
    However, too much expectation given the potential lack of some key ingredients could disappoint those who feel entitled to supreme flavors n favors each and every year..
    Not only the short supply of DL and the rawness at DB, should cause major concern, and it’s not automatic that the thinness at meaty power back has been resolved…
    Let’s let the dish cook awhile.. lets see how Aziz “Eattu” Shittu heals n tastes ? Can Scarlett contribute some color to new schemes right away? Is recruit DT Wesley Annan pressure-cooker-college-game ready right outta HS ? Is Cameron Scarlett the next Gaffney ? Is Marx the man of the oven ? I’m also concerned how we replace the matriculation of not one, but two hands-on chefs, Tarply and Richards, masters of the bar-b-que.. who steps into.. and up in their place ?
    Remember, we must travel to Evanston, Ill. for the first real meal, then sample the distasteful Trojan man in just the 3rd week of the seasoning in the fry pans of El Lay..
    Such savory questions require answers steeped and steamed through the spring and the fall.. tho my mouth already waters..

    Couldn’t tell whether it was Vihan or Do who began by comparing a Hogan-based offense to a Andrew Luck offense–in potential. That’s not as hyperbolic as some fans might think. The Kevin Hogan who ate UCLA’s lunch, play after play, last Nov. 28, strongly resembled Andrew throughout that game. During that game, the TV analyst noted how Hogan wasn’t staring down his target but looking-off the Bruins secondary and linebackers. Kevin had more help from his friends, the TWU, in the last three games. We’ve seen how much hindrance Andrew Luck has endured in the Colts’ inadequate o-line support. Hogan wasn’t the consistent culprit throughout last season. Team penalties, inadequate line performance, and multiple dropped on-target passes were more often the difference makers than any of Hogan’s shortfalls. Why those other issues occurred was a more puzzling question than why such an experienced QB wasn’t a Heisman candidate…especially after the situation of Hogan’s father came out.
