I've probably missed it but when does spring ball begin and end?
I thought I heard Coach Klieman say that 25 guys were injured and needed off-season surgery (btw, holy carp!) Kind of makes a spring game unlikely.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

25 needing surgery seems like a lot but I'm pretty sure in the past it hasn't been a stretch to say they've held 25 or more guys out of spring ball (especially the spring game) due to injuries, normal wear-and-tear of 15 games every year, or just because some of the older guys have seen so many reps already there wasn't much for them to gain in the spring. I'm sure they'll do the offense vs defense thing again so they really only need around 25-30 guys on each side of the ball to have a 1s and 2s for each plus some special teams.
It actually works out well for ndsu. A lot of these guys have played so many games they don't need to play in the spring game. They had a long season so they don't need the extra wear and tear. It also gives the young guys some much needed reps to show what they can do. I think it is a win win situation to improve the depth while not risking injuries to our guys who have played so many games already.
Since the 2010 season, the Bison have played 106 football games; more than any other college team in America....... go ahead ....... google it. If they don't schedule a spring game...... really!!! Will it matter ? Meh.....

Summer strength and conditions is more important for Bison football for all players IMO. We have lost out majorly on winter workouts the last many years and it has showed with NDSU not dominating the 4th qtr over the last several year imo.
