25 College Football Spring Games We Can't Wait to See & Why
We have entered the period of the college football season where the fans are lost and don't know what to do with themselves. Without any actual games taking place and all of the attention shifted towards recruiting, things can get a
little boring for the folks who are wishing it was August already. Don't worry; it will be April before you know it.
I'm talking about spring games, and kickoff will start in just a couple of months. Every team in college football gets a chance to practice and usually hosts a spring game at some point in April. This reminds the players what it is like to hit with pads on and gives the fans something to hold them over for the remaining months.
It also gives younger guys a chance to prove themselves to the coaching staff and make a name for themselves early.
Spring games aren't anything to get overly excited about, but football is football at this point.
Here are 25 spring games that the entire college football world should show interest in, as they have a lot to offer than some of the others.
South Carolina
When: 04/13/13
Where: Williams-Brice Stadium, Columbia, S.C.
Why You Must Watch: You must watch anything that Steve Spurrier is involved with. You just never know what is going to happen or what you might hear him say. He is the coach that lets his inside voice become his outside voice more often than not. On the field, the Gamecocks are trying to find out if Connor Shaw or Dylan Thompson is going to be the quarterback. They are also trying to discover who is going to end up replacing Marcus Lattimore at running back. Not to mention the entire group of linebackers needs fixing up as well.
South Carolina has been a team that has come close to competing for an SEC title; this season will take some work if it expects to take that next step.
