Game Format
“Similar to previous Orange & White Games in the Josh Heupel era, offense will wear white jerseys and be on the home sideline. Defense will wear orange jerseys and be on the visiting sideline. Quarterbacks will wear Smokey Grey jersey tops. Normal game scoring will apply with offense (while wearing white jerseys) alternating possessions for Orange and White. The first half will be timed normally with two 15-minute quarters. There will be a 10-minute halftime before a second half that features a running clock.” (H/T UTSports.com)
As always, you’re likely to see a very watered down product today. Tennessee will hold several key players out of today’s action, particularly up front on the offensive line. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava and running back Dylan Sampson will also likely see limited action.
There’s still plenty to watch for, however. Tennessee’s wide receiver rotation feels wide open with an improved Dont’e Thornton and the addition of Chris Brazzell. The Vols’ secondary is a complete wildcard with five new starters. We’ll also get to see highly touted quarterback Jake Merklinger take the field.
We’ll have full coverage after the game, including comments from Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel.
