BOULDER GÇô The University of
Colorado goes into spring break mode come 5 p.m. Friday, but in the
morning football coach Mike MacIntyre and his
staff will put the Buffaloes through their first major scrimmage of
the spring season.
Last Friday, the Buffaloes logged
65 scrimmage plays plus six kicks in just 48 minutes, but it was a
GÇ£50-on-inGÇ¥ affair, as the offense started all 12 possessions at
midfield. It was also designed to meet the standards of NCAA
spring rules, as the first half of practice took place on the
practice fields north of Boulder Creek prior to the team relocating
for the scrimmage in Folsom.
FridayGÇÖs entire practice will be
in Folsom, beginning with the team stretch at 8:15, the scrimmage,
expected to go around 100 plays, will commence at about 9:25.
It will be CUGÇÖs seventh of 15
practices this spring, the first of three where tackling is allowed
for over 50 percent of the session. The remaining eight will
be held after spring break, with CUGÇÖs annual spring game set for
Noon on Saturday, April 12. The final practice will be the
Monday following that game.
Practices and scrimmages are open
to the public and are free; however, with school in session on
Friday, fans are advised that parking on campus is very minimal and
anyone who parks in a lot that requires a permit is subject to
being ticketed.
