UConn football put an end to its annual spring game as the team announced a change to their spring schedule. Practice is starting nearly a month earlier as the Huskies will begin on Feb. 12 and conclude on March 15, compared to this past year when they practiced from March 5 to April 14.

In lieu of the game, UConn will hold a youth clinic and fan appreciation event on-campus at Shenkman Training Center on Saturday, April 6.

“We really appreciate the support we have had for our spring games over the years, but due to the change in the recruiting calendar for football and to allow our student-athletes to have a better overall experience in the off-season, we will be holding our spring practice in February and early March,” Edsall said.
