Spring ball is over...who improved?

Spring ball has wrapped up and was just wondering who thinks their team improved this offseason? Defending National Champ LSU looks to have possibly taken a step back without Perrilloux during their spring practices although the old adage  that their are no games won during spring ball applies at a lot of places.  Not sure Clausen at ND has improved much by the highlights I watched on TV over the weekend.  Michigan is still looking for a QB to run the spread and from what I have read they are still looking.  Daniel at Mizzou looked awful good in their spring game and the 2 headed monster at Illinois (Juice and Eddie McGee) looked like they had made progress.  Penn State did not have a turnover during their spring game which is pretty remarkable since none of the QB's on their roster had much experience going into the spring.  We are now less than 4 months away from the start of fall camp and the excitement is building here at RIVALSflag.  Just plunked down some cash for 8 season tickets at Illinois this fall.  The road schedule looks tough for the Illini with games against Mizzou, Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn State.  Tougher road than last year to say the least but coming off last year the spirits are high within Illini Nation.  May be able to make the game at Penn State thanks to a Nittany Lion fan who owns a couple Penn State RIVALSflags. The Illini have experience at QB and the defensive front which will hopefully allow the back 7 to get their act together although the opener against a pre-season Top Ten ranked Mizzou will be tough on the new guys at safety.  Coach Miles at LSU thinks his front four will be a ton for the boyz in Baton Rouge and that is without Glenn Dorsey.  Maybe Ohio State is catching USC in the right year with no returning QB with much experience but then again, it is USC at the Coliseum.  The storylines for this upcoming season are many; tell me about your team and what are the few things that need to happen to allow for a breakthrough year.  Sorry for the long absence but we are back and talking college football...
