The spring practice season is officially in the books for all 14 SEC programs, and as always the attendance numbers at the SEC spring games were through the roof.
Only 12 of the 14 programs held a formal spring game — Kentucky and Texas A&M were unable to do so due to renovations at their home stadiums — but all 12 schools that held a game drew plenty of fans for their spring finales.
