Saturday evening, the FSU football team will put on their uniforms, tighten the chin straps on those beautiful gold helmets with the spears on the side and head out of the tunnel for the annual spring football game – the culmination of practice during this time of the year and the last time they will take the field before August and preps for the 2018 season.
During the same day, 45 other teams in the FBS will be doing the same exact thing as they hold their spring games or final scrimmage of spring practice. That means nearly 41 percent of the 113 teams in the FBS who are holding spring games or scrimmages this year will be doing so on the same exact day.
