The Cougars will take to the field for the first time under head coach Willie Fritz in 15 practices scheduled over 34 days. The schedule concludes with the Spring Game at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 13.
Senior Quarterback Donovan Smith underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason and will not be fully available during spring ball.
“He’s further along than I thought he would be at this point, Fritz said. “We are going to be smart with him.”
Fritz expects Smith to participate in non-throwing exercises by the end of spring and be cleared to throw by late summer.
