hugh Freeze recently lamented the format of Spring games as well as his idea of improving radically the game.
His team had difficulty lining up 5 OL on both teams due to injuries and lack of gepth.,they have become such boring affairs . Almost like the teams are foced to play the games simply because it's tradition.
His suggestion: play a real game against an FCS opponent for example rather than scheduling them during the regular season. The players would enjoy it more as well as fans. A better assesment of where your team is could be made. The attendance would certainly be greater. The TV people would have games to showcase. The benefits are numerous.
He went on to say that he would bring it up at their next meetings. Here's hoping that it gets some traction and comes to pass. Enough of those useless spring sessions.
