UK football was planning on holding an offense vs. defense scoring system for the second year in a row for the Spring Game. It planned on tinkering with the scoring system to even things out and make the game more competitive, at least on the scoreboard.

But the format has been changed back to a traditional format, with the team split into Blue and White squads.

The White team will be the first team, and the Blue team will be the second team. Blue will get a 14-0 lead to start the game.

“The players wanted more excitement and felt that a game format would do it,” head coach Joker Phillips said in a release. “I know that a scrimmage scoring system can be confusing and this will be easier to follow.”

Phillips said the original idea of offense/defense was due to a limited number of players at some positions. In the current format, some players will be able to switch teams if necessary.

The game is scheduled for this Saturday at 3 p.m. at Commonwealth. Admission and parking are free and on first-come, first-served basis.
