Just received the format regarding the spring game and how scoring will work. There will be two teams -- Offense vs. Defense -- and there will be live tackling.
SCARLET-WHITE GAME FORMAT:
The final spring practice session and annual Scarlet-White game will be a scripted scrimmage in four quarters of action with live tackling. The roster has been divided offense vs. defense, with the offense wearing Scarlet jerseys, while the defense will wear White jerseys.
The first quarter will feature red zone offensive and defensive situations. In the second and third quarters, the teams will play a more traditional game with the ball being spotted at various yard markers and the offense attempting to move the ball against the defense. Prior to the start of the second quarter, there will be a field goal kicking competition with one kicker attempting kicks from varying distances for each side.
The fourth quarter will consist of third-down situations and the two-minute drill.
SCORING:
Rutgers football will employ a unique scoring system to its Scarlet-White game. Below is a breakdown of how each team can accumulate points during the scrimmage.
There will be other scenarios throughout the spring game where both the offense and defense can earn additional points, including during the field goal kicking competition to start the second quarter.
Offense earns points:
Touchdown 6 Points
Explosive Play 2 Points (run 10+ yards or pass 15+ yards)
FG - 3 points
PAT - 1 point
Two Point Conversion - 2 points
1st Down - 1 Point
Defense earns points:
Defensive Stop 2 points (zero points scored)
3 and Out - 3 points
Sack - 3 points
TFL - 2 points
Takeaway - 6 points
TD - 10 points
Purdue's spring game was just like this over this past weekend.
