Head coach Deion Sanders is looking to shake up Colorado’s spring game this year by forgoing the intrasquad scrimmage in favor of the Buffaloes playing a different program.
“Actually, I would like to play against another team in the spring. That’s what I’m trying to do right now, to have it be competitive,” Sanders said. “Playing against your own guys kind of gets monotonous, and you really can’t tell the levels of your guys because it’s the same old, same old. Everybody kind of knows each other toward the end.”
Sanders’ preference to change the spring game format comes as several schools nationwide are nixing it. Ohio State, Texas, and USC are among the many teams that are replacing the traditional scrimmage this year with a different event.
