2026 Spring Football Schedule/Spring Game

[sufandu]

Is this like the last NFL preseason game? Sit the known quantities and give the question marks more run to fight for their spots on the depth chart?

correct. and cuse.com

I don’t think it’s just optimistic, it’s realistic. And that is without Russell

Agree. Last year’s crew was pretty solid but this one has more depth. Not sure who his receivers were at ND when he got on the field but I will take it as a good thing that our crew is better than that one too

For all you Hatcher degraders, that was one hell of a catch.

It is. But Hatcher needs to be way more consistent during games if he wants to stay on the field. He has disappeared way too often

 

[Orijinal]

I hate these constant freaking questions about "are you coming back next year, why did you come back?"

"Like, if you didn't think about leaving, can I plant the idea in your head that you might consider leaving at some point.?"

That's all these stupid questions are good for. And Deslauriers response confirms it

Not exactly. NFL guys are fighting for roster spots and paychecks, noone is getting cut today. Also fan experience does matter today, NFL teams could care less as they print money regardless.

This is an opportunity for players and coaches to gain needed support which will help them down the road in season and possibly NIL.

Yup. If the they injured got his mental right though he may be the guy folks were hyped about in prior years. Concentrate through routes and catches and the world is his. Lived experiences and maturity may well have helped

I do too but at least it’s not ten straight questions about leadership that was so common last season.

Like some have already noted why so many inactive guys for this. Can see if they are dinged or have a serious injury but Fran wants butts in the seat for this then he should be playing guys if they're healthy.

eh. If they got hurt we’d be all over the staff for putting them in that position. Give the young guys a chance to shine in front of a crowd that you otherwise wouldn’t get unless guys in front of them get hurt or the FCS game next season.

Few had cleanup procedures done at beginning of winter and have been held out of contact for precautionary reasons. Antoine’s been a full go so I assume he’s more just a little banged up and not worth wasting him in contact situation. These scrimmage’s are more about the guys we need to see in live situations too. I know that’s not what fans want but it’s the right approach.

Agreed 144%.

This is more about sorting out the 2’s & 3’s, the staff likely already has a pretty good handle on who the vast majority of the 1’s will be.

 

[wiseman3]

Anyone know what time gates open for the game? Still haven't seen anything about it other than the 7:30 start time. Can we just go on in whenever beforehand with the Lax game going on?

Also protecting other players from getting hit by Antoine...

You can go in during the MLAX with a paid ticket for that game. Otherwise, I would guess that entrance for the football game (free) will start around 6pm.

Parking and movement in and around the West lots during the transition from Lax to football will be a nightmare.

I take all of this spring game stuff with a massive grain of salt.

I just want to score 20 points in a game come regular season regardless of who is under center.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

I hope we win!

Without having to go back and read 25 pages, is this game being streamed or shown on ACCN or anything?

ACCNX @ 7:30

looking at the two rosters, Orange clears right? Seems significantly better.
