Spring Football is BACK! Let’s take a look around the country.

Arizona State

Herm Edwards is coaching on a football field again. We don’t have to see his empty office, see his confusion on recruiting or him getting upset with the Sun Devil Newspaper name. He’s on the field as the ASU acting CEO.

Bowling Green

Hey look, BGSU football players are hitting each other as opposed to pedestrians on Miami Beach. The University is still investigating the incident but the pressures on for Mike Jinks to have a winning season. His last two seasons have a combined record of 6-17.

Texas A&M

Basketball season’s still going but there are 75 million reasons to care about Aggie Football instead. Jimbo is probably only second to God in College Station. Expectations are probably too high, but this will be the most over-hyped spring in the SEC.

Arizona

During the Rich Rod era, social media was not allowed by players and coaches were very limited in interviews. Kevin Sumlin has the opportunity to create a fresh start for fans and journalist. After Arizona’s first practice, Sumlin spoke with media for about 15 mins and then announced nobody would be available for media, until April 14th. Basically, blowing his shot to create a new relationship with social media and beat writers. If your QB is a Heisman candidate, why not hype him for recruiting?

Alabama

Nick Saban literally said Butch Jones is an intern on their coaching staff. This is the funniest thing about spring football 2018. On a more serious note, Tue Tagovailoa hurt his thumb in practice. Saban said, “Probably going to require some time for him to get back. I’m not going to speculate on what the injury might be.” I know it’s March, but Hurts will continue to get all the reps this spring season.

Mississippi State

Nick Fitzgerald was back throwing today. The QB had a very good 2017 season before getting hurt. The Bulldogs are implementing a new offense under Joe Moorhead. He was very successful at Penn State and has the right QB in place to continue his success in Starkville.

Tennessee

Jeremy Pruitt is exactly the guy Tennessee needs right now. He basically called out every position as being open, including QB. He’s been shown running around different stations and getting on guys. “We don’t want guys standing around…I’ve done it for 11 years everywhere I’ve been and it works.” Pruitt explained. Vols fans have many reasons to be excited that they may have found their guy.

Minnesota

When the Gophers aren’t rowing the boat or playing whiffle ball, Coach Fleck brings in Kirk Cousins to speak to the team. Obviously, surrounding college kids with the top NFL free agent is pretty cool. Although nobody will ever know if Minnesota will be good; PJ Fleck always hits his public relations mark.
