Hi coach, a lot of teams have been getting away from have a spring game and have gone to a controlled scrimmage.
Injuries still can occur.
It's not because of the injuries that could occur. It's injuries that have already occurred. It's the scholarship limits and the fact that your seniors are gone and your new freshman have not arrived. For example, you could only have one center healthy. You may have an emergency center available, but that would put his team at an extreme disadvantage.
