Spring Game format change....Ugh!

[sportsart]

The offense will scrimmage vs the defense in various game situations like starting from their own 1 yard line.

Not enough players at certain positions is the reason.

Can't link Dez blog with this damn droid tablet.

Almost every game I've read about down here in SEC and ACC country has had similar formats.

Too few healthy players to have a 1st and 2nd team offense and a 1st and 2nd team defense.

That sucks. The spring game with the "point system" stunk.

From the end of Jim Fuller's (NHR) Casey Cochran Article today:

>>UConn football coach Paul Pasqualoni said there will be four 20-minute quarters with running time except for the final two minutes of the second and fourth quarters where normal clock operation will be used. There will be punts and kickoffs with the returners able to catch the ball but there will be no returns in the game. UConn announced today that there will be some controlled portions of the scrimmage since injuries have caused issues at certain positions (linebacker is one that immediately comes to mind).

Linebacker Yawin Smallwood, offensive tackle Jimmy Bennett and defensive tackle Shamar Stephen are among the key players who will be held out of the game. Pasqualoni couldn't even put list a number of players who will be held out of the spring game but when I said "about 20" he said that sounded about right.<<
