The International Bowl is an annual event that pits the best of the young talent in football from the United States against the best in the rest of the world.
This year, the Cowboys had two signees play in the game, and QB Spencer Sanders was named the MVP of the under-19 game between the United States and Canada.
Spencer completed 13 of his 20 passes for 181 yards. After the game, he talked about his week and how it felt to participate in the game.

When asked by Robert Allen of GoPokes what he was going to be doing the rest of the spring, Lacy didn’t even hesitate.
