Florida has announced a change of plans for its annual spring game. The first Orange & Blue Game under head coach Billy Napier will now be played on Thursday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. The 2022 spring game was previously scheduled for Saturday, April 16.
In a video message shared by Florida football’s Twitter account, Napier attributes the change to UF students going home for Easter weekend. April 16 is scheduled to be the busiest day of SEC spring football, with Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Vanderbilt all holding spring games that Saturday.
