The good measure for Spring ball

Will be to compare Petersen's assessment last year to this year. Here is a link to Petersen's interview following the 2014 spring game preview:

I think Petersen's attitude and body language between then and now will be a good representation for how this spring went and where he feels the team is and where the team can go.

WIN! the Spring Game or GTFO!
1. Win?
2. Attendance?
You could tell Petersen wasn't happy with the team at the end of 2014's spring game and that was reflective of his voice and words. And we all remember how 2014 went:
Petersen's assessment on spring ball could be an early indicator whether we go 7-5 this year or 6-6.
Lindquist and Williams were both pathetic last year and it was pretty clear that neither or them were the answer at QB (apparently, neither was Cyler Miles). If I see our QBs even attempting intermediate routes and routes over the middle of the field I will consider that a positive sign in my book. Lindquist's only success last year was either throwing bombs or dumping it off behind the line of scrimmage. If we can hit some of quick 5-10 yard routes it will go a long way towards keeping defenses honest and spreading the field out. If either of our big-armed QBs can get a rhythm passing game going it will make things a lot easier for our untested O Line and shitty running backs.
I also hope that KJCS or Lindquist (or both) separate themselves from Browning. I want this "UW could start their first true freshman at QB" narrative to die. Browning needs to redshirt. Fuck that noise.
I think the playbook for the spring game portion of the spring preview will be pretty vanilla and pretty minimal. I think Petersen will want the QBs to focus on routes and reads that they're comfortable with rather than with what they've probably worked with during the closed-practice sessions. Now that doesn't mean there'll be some intermediate routes and things over the middle, especially with our TEs being a strength this season, but that most of these plays and defenses will be pretty basic.
That being said, I think Lindquist and KJCS are starting to separate from Browning. I'm sure Browning is going to be good here, but he keeps throwing too many interceptions. Unless he explodes this summer and finally realizes how to read Pac-12 DBs, then it'll be either Lindquist or KJCS in Boise this September.
