All you need to know about spring football games is that college head coaches think so little of them, they used to let sportswriters coach the two teams.
The late, great Jim Wacker did it at TCU once, and I think Wacker went to his grave wondering why Mike Jones didn’t run the ball more.
I covered another spring game where the score was growing lopsided, so the head coach switched the No. 1 quarterback to the opposite team.
And even last Saturday, amidst apparently considerable angst over the Horned Frogs’ offensive inconsistencies, TCU coach Gary Patterson spent the second half roaming the grandstands, signing autographs and shaking hands with the patrons.
