College Football Schedule 2023: SEC Spring Games Announced
The college football schedule is moving towards the spring game slate around the country as teams prepare to put a bow on spring practice.
Up first is the SEC, which announced its spring football game schedule, including 13 games that will be aired or streamed on the ESPN networks.
Missouri kicks things off in the middle of March with the annual Black and Gold Game, while LSU and Alabama wrap things up late in April.
Kentucky will not host a traditional spring game this offseason with construction still ongoing at Kroger Field, but the SEC Network has said it will show a Kentucky Football Spring Access program at a later date.
