COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - During Coach Prime’s press conference on Monday, he said he wants to play against another team for their Spring game come April. Prime also saying he would like that team to practice against the Buffs for three days, like the NFL does during training camp.
“The Spring Game will be televised on ESPN2 … on the 19th,” Sanders said. “We got to sell this thing out and pack this thing because the way the trend is going, you never know if this is going to be the last spring game. I don’t believe in that. I don’t really want to condone that. I would like to play in the spring. Actually, I (would) like to play against another team in the spring. That’s what I’m trying to do right now.
“To have a competitive (game) against your own guys kind of gets monotonous. You really can’t tell the level of your guys because, you know, it’s the same old, same way. Everybody kind of know each other. Towards the end, I would like to style it like the pros. I would like to practice against someone for a few days, then you have the spring game and I think the public will be satisfied with that tremendously. I think it’s a tremendous idea. I’ve told those personnel who should understand that it’s a tremendous idea.”
Syracuse head coach Fran Brown then responded to On3Sports tweet about it.
Could Prime change the Spring Game?
