Based on weather conditions or other factors, the script for Saturday's game is subject to change but is currently slated to feature the following periods after the conclusion of the Red Zone scrimmage as well as a "halftime" intermission.
- Two live goal-line periods
- Two live "coming out" periods where the offense is backed up at its own end of the field
- Two-minute situations (both first-team and second-team units will receive opportunities)
- Ball at the 50 with 0:45 remaining – Need a FG to win
- Ball at the 50 with 1:00 remaining – Need a TD to win
The squad is then scheduled for multiple periods of open-field scrimmage work with the first, second and third-team units all working against one another.
Following the Spring Game and a cooling off period for the players, an announcement will be made when fans will be allowed on to Worsham Field to get autographs from our student-athletes. This autograph session will last approximately 60 minutes. In the event of inclement weather, fans will be notified of any changes to the autograph session.
