Today’s SEC football Saturday, and although it’s not real games per se, fans can still enjoy watching their team play against one another.
Spring is a time for families to show up at stadiums, take tours on campus and have an excuse to don their favorite school colors.
Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri and Tennessee all host spring games today. You can view today’s full schedule here.
In addition, we have laid out five players to watch today here.
Alabama Crimson Tide: Can Alabama repeat as SEC and College Football Playoff champions? Although Alabama lost several big-time players, the roster is loaded enough to make another run at a ring. We’ve been watching these five players this spring. Alabama also has to accomplish these five things during A-Day.
Georgia Bulldogs: UGA’s problem has never been recruiting; it’s been developing the players already on campus. That’s Kirby Smart’s biggest priority right now, and he’ll have to find a quarterback to run his offense. The Bulldogs could win the SEC East this fall, and here are five players we’ve been keeping an eye on this spring. UGA must also accomplish these five things today.
Kentucky Wildcats: This is an important spring for Kentucky, as Mark Stoops has compiled enough talent to be relevant in the SEC East; however, it’s time the talent starts developing for the 2016 season. Here are five things the Cats need to accomplish today.
LSU Tigers: Despite the questions surrounding Les Miles in 2015, the Tigers have some nice momentum heading into the 2016 season. The biggest priority this spring has been developing the passing game with Brandon Harris. Have they taken the necessary steps this spring? We won’t find out until September or October, but here are five things the Tigers need to accomplish during their spring game.
Mississippi State Bulldogs: What an offseason it has been for Mississippi State. If losing arguably the greatest player in school history wasn’t enough, the Bulldogs recently dismissed one of their best players for the season, Fred Brown. Replacing Prescott’s presence won’t be easy, but it’s just one of the things the Bulldogs need to accomplish today.
Missouri Tigers: It’s a major transition year for the Mizzou program. Gary Pinkel will no longer be on the Tigers’ sideline, and quarterback Maty Mauk won’t either. It’s a brand new coaching staff under Barry Odom. The Tigers’ defensive line will try and remain dominant, while the offense, particularly the quarterbacks, will try and develop under new coordinator Josh Heupel. Here are five things the Tigers must accomplish today. Here are also five ways the Tigers can climb out of the cellar this season.
Tennessee Volunteers: Is this the year the Volunteers return to Atlanta and compete for an SEC Championship? Butch Jones brings a loaded roster into this season, while having the most experienced quarterback in the division, Joshua Dobbs, and a loaded backfield with Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara. New defensive coordinator Bob Shoop will try and take the unit to another level. Here are five things the Vols need to accomplish today.
