April 18 spring games TV/streaming schedule: Alabama, Ohio State, Auburn and more

Your TV and streaming schedule guide below.

Spring game season is fully here. After weeks of big teams like Michigan, Georgia, Oklahoma and USC trying to hold down weekends by themselves, college football fans finally have a bevy of exhibition games to choose from this Saturday.

Defending national champions Ohio State join fellow playoff participant Alabama as the biggest events of the day, while Notre Dame, Auburn and LSU are also up. Texas and Penn State are worthwhile stories to follow this offseason, with second-year coaches building rosters that look to be the most talented in years for each program. One major head coach will also be seeing his first spring game at his new program: Oregon State’s Gary Andersen.

Quarterback questions may be partially answered Saturday. Notre Dame, Auburn and Alabama all replace starters, while Ohio State and Texas have plenty to ponder.

Nebraska currently heads the attendance standings by a heavy margin. For up-to-date spring game attendance figures, click here.
