“It would be good for us to scrimmage Arkansas,” Gundy said Tuesday. “You’ve got Nebraska. You’ve got [Texas] A&M.”

Gundy said the Cowboys’ recent spring scrimmages haven’t been exciting formats for the fans because the team didn’t have enough depth.

Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman sounded receptive to the idea.

“I’d be way more interested in doing it this year than I would have last year, if there was no covid I’m saying,” Pittman said. “Different people do spring ball differently. So, I don’t know that I’d be for that in the first year, but after that I think it could be beneficial, I think.

“It could be beneficial to scrimmage somebody … that you wouldn’t play them for at least five or more years. But I think someone asked coach [Gundy] about that, I thought he gave a great answer on that.”
