The last couple of years the Kentucky Spring Game has used a scoring system with the Offense playing the Defense.

Things are changing this year.
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 forecast for Saturday is looking like rain and I was thinking about not making the trip basically because of the format.
I think I am definitely making the trip now because of the feel of a real game.
Plus it should be good practice for the Cats being down 14-0 to start the game….hopefully it just isn’t a sign of things to come.
