Colorado and Syracuse consider spring football game

Coach Deion Sanders from the University of Colorado Boulder recently discussed a potential spring game with Syracuse University. Both teams had successful seasons, finishing with 9 wins and 3 losses in 2024. Sanders praised Syracuse coach Fran Brown, expressing enthusiasm for a matchup. Sanders indicated that they have already communicated about this possible game. He highlighted that it would not only feature football but also emphasize financial literacy and academics for both teams. Brown expressed his desire to bring his Syracuse team to Boulder for three days to showcase their collaboration. Sanders believes having a scrimmage against another team would be beneficial. He noted that competition within the same team can become repetitive and may not effectively gauge a team's level. He envisions a setup similar to professional teams, where they practice against another squad before the spring game. While planning this game for 2025 may be ambitious, Sanders suggested it could be revisited for 2026. The excitement around this potential matchup has generated interest among fans and both universities.
