One. More. Time.

For the spring, that is. One final weekend of SEC spring games figures to be an intriguing one. With possibly 4 preseason top-25 teams in action (sorry, Tennessee), there will be plenty of storylines worth watching on Saturday.

Here are the 5 things that I want to see:

1. An efficient Tyson Helton offense

I’ve been saying all week that if I’m a Tennessee fan, there’s one thing I’m rooting for on Saturday. Well, besides a healthy spring game, which has been the case so far. I want to see the Vols sustain scoring drives.

Crazy concept, right?

After all, Helton was paid $1.2 million to leave USC for Knoxville to try and do just that. Rebuilding the nation’s No. 117 offense without a massive influx of talent won’t be easy. Still, I’d hope and expect to see Jarrett Guarantano look comfortable. I’d like to see Ty Chandler break off a few big runs. Dare I say the Vols actually roll out a balanced attack Saturday?

Offense should be the main focus because there shouldn’t be much doubt that Jeremy Pruitt will transform that defense. Eventually. If I’m a Tennessee see fan, I’m not worried if I see some breakdowns in coverage and if the defensive line pressure isn’t where it needs to be. There’s time to fix that.

To be fair, there’s time to fix the offense, too. But Tennessee made a big-time investment in Helton. Some signs of progress in his first showcase can temporarily quiet lingering concerns that skeptics might have about Helton’s impact.

2. The Joe Moorhead Show

In case you haven’t been paying attention to anything I’ve said or written about Mississippi State the past 4 months — that’s probably quite a few of you — I’m all in on Moorhead in Starkville in 2018.

The assumption is that MSU’s offense will look different come fall because by then, it’ll be built around a healthy Nick Fitzgerald. Without Fitzgerald on Saturday, we’re going to see a lot of the basic principles that Moorhead has in place, just with Keytaon Thompson running the show.

Can he get the deep passing game rolling with those bigger, downfield threats like Jamal Couch, Reggie Todd and Austin Williams? And what should we expect to see from Aeris Williams on Saturday?

Keep in mind that Moorhead’s offense will try and take flight against what looks like the best defensive line in the SEC. If it doesn’t look like a well-oiled machine just yet, that certainly wouldn’t be cause for panic.

And if the offense does look like a well-oiled machine, well, I told you so.

3. Mac Jones calming Alabama nerves

Yes, there is a third scholarship quarterback on Alabama’s roster. No, you probably haven’t heard a ton about him before the last couple weeks (with the exception of his unfortunate DUI arrest last November). That’ll change on Saturday when he gets a full load of reps at quarterback.

That’ll be the case with Tua Tagovailoa out with a hand injury and with Alabama without an incoming freshman/graduate transfer. That might not have been the way the Tide hoped the spring would go, but Jones has the opportunity to use it to his benefit. So far, all reports out of camp are that Jones has done just that.

A big spring game performance could do a few things for the Alabama quarterback picture. It could wash away the frustrations of not landing that aforementioned incoming freshman/graduate transfer (at least not yet). It could also ease at least some of the panic in the event that Tagovailoa isn’t healthy come fall or that Jalen Hurts transfers, as his father indicated could be the case if he doesn’t win the starting job.

All Jones has to do is get out there and sling it. No pressure, kid.

4. The LSU defense NOT looking invincible

Night kickoff in Death Valley + a dominant LSU defensive effort = a standard Saturday night in Baton Rouge.

Maybe that equation takes a night off Saturday. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if we saw the Tigers defense play on its heels a bit and look like it isn’t setting the tone. Why?

Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to see Devin White lead Dave Aranda’s group on any other given night. But if I’m an LSU fan, I need to see the offense stand out.

I already went in-depth about the rare territory the Tigers are in without much experience in their backfield. The quarterback battle with Myles Brennan and Lowell Narcisse is a big question mark, as well. Having one or both of those guys step up and look like a legitimate SEC starter would be huge. And don’t forget that the Tigers don’t return a single receiver who averaged more than 1 catch per game in 2017.

Add in a new offensive coordinator in Steve Ensminger and it’s not hard to see why a shootout spring game would be the more beneficial equation on Saturday night.

5. All the Justin Fields takes

“He’s the next Cam Newton.”

“Man, how did we not get Trevor Lawrence?”

“Look out, Jake Fromm.”

Most of the takes coming out of Athens after Saturday’s spring game will likely be in one of those 3 boxes, depending on how Fields plays. If the 5-star freshman looks the part, people will want him to start immediately. If he struggles like other SEC early enrollee quarterbacks have so far, the hype train will make a pit stop.

Everyone wants to see if Fields has moved past the “wall” that Kirby Smart said he hit a few weeks ago. This is usually baseball time for Fields. Will seeing tens of thousands of people get Fields’ competitive juices flowing? Certainly that’s the expectation.

I’m not about to declare Fields the next Cam Newton or write him off based on a spring game, but his performance will certainly dictate the quarterback room dynamic come fall. Is Fromm really competing for his job? Or will Fields show that his understanding of the offense is still not on the level of Fromm’s?

That remains to be seen. Still, the takes will be a-flyin’ come Saturday.
