Syracuse HC responds to Coach Prime after saying he wants to play another team in Colorado's spring game

Coach Prime's latest proposal this morning—playing an actual opponent in the spring game—has already sparked interest.

Syracuse head coach Fran Brown.

Brown, fresh off an impressive debut season at Syracuse, didn’t waste time responding to Sanders’ challenge. "We will come to Boulder for three days," Brown posted on social media, throwing his hat in the ring as a willing participant in what could be a historic moment for college football.

That’s the kind of energy you expect from Brown, who turned heads in his first season with the Orange. Syracuse finished with 10 wins, including a statement victory over No. 8 Miami and a dominant showing in the Holiday Bowl against Washington State. The former Georgia defensive backs coach is quickly making a name for himself as a rising star in the coaching world, and his willingness to join a new revolution only strengthens that reputation.

While the NCAA does not allow intercollegiate spring games, momentum is building. Brown’s quick response shows that Sanders’ idea isn’t just talk and that its something other college coaches are actually interested in. The NFL-style approach Sanders envisions, where teams hold joint practices and then play a real opponent, would inject new energy into spring football.

Could we see Colorado vs. Syracuse this April? With leaders like Coach Prime and Brown pushing the envelope, don’t be surprised if college football spring games look very different in the future.
