Spring has sprung. In Iowa City, that means spring football is in full swing and has been for a couple weeks. We now find ourselves counting down the hours, not days, until the end of Iowa’s final spring practice - or as other programs call it: the spring game.
In Iowa City, however, that final practice is always just that: a practice. There will be some live-ish scrimmage periods where we get to see the 1st team offense face off with the 1st team defense and the like, but by and large this is simply the final practice of the spring season for a football program focused on using every waking moment of practice to continue teaching fundamentals, scheme and technique.
