For some it is the next chance, for a few it might be their last.

McNeese State’s Spring Game will have a different look this year as the Cowboys finish their workouts at 10 a.m. today at Cowboy Stadium.

Expecting to have some 60-65 plays for each side, the Cowboys will be divided into blue and white jerseys.

The Blue group will be given a 14-point lead to start with the first-teamers forced to chase them down.

“It has been a really good spring and I expect to see guys flying around out there,” said McNeese head coach Gary Goff. “I love the way we have worked and how guys have bought into what we are trying to do.”

There is, however, more the coach said he wants to see, especially from the receivers. No group has more pressure on them than this one, Goff said, with seven new pass catchers joining the roster in the summer, this could be the last chance some get to impress their coaches.

“We need more firepower at receiver,” Goff said. “They know they have to perform. They know our frustration with that group.

“That group overall has a lot of work to do. They know they have pressure on them. We are looking for somebody to step up.”

Goff pointed to Jalen Johnson as one receiver who has been good this spring but wants more to help out his quarterbacks.

As for the quarterbacks, Tré Simmons and Nate Glantz will get equal snaps with the first team today as they continue to battle for the starting job. Goff said he has been pleased with both but does not have a leader in the clubhouse.

“I want to see the quarterback take charge,” he said. “I have been very encouraged with both. I do want to have a starter. I don’t want to play two.

“That will sort itself out. We have time.”

During the first two scrimmages this spring McNeese’s defense has had the upper hand. With improved play in the rebuilt secondary, the Cowboys have a different look on that side of the football.

Also new is Trey Winters at nose guard.

The 6-foot-7 big man moved to defense after spending last year as an offensive lineman.

“Winters is doing a really good job,” Goff said. “He has worked hard and lost about 10 pounds but is still around 350. He is a big guy who is strong and can take up two gaps.”

Winters and the rest of the Cowboys take their next step today.
