Vols Go For Special Scrimmage
Tennessee divided its second scrimmage of the spring into two parts Saturday, using a normal game format for the first portion and then focusing on situations over the last 30 minutes.
Just three practices remain before next Saturday’s Dish Network Orange and White Game at Neyland Stadium.
“At the end, we did a situational scrimmage where we were really working on the last 31/2 or four minutes of the game,” head coach Derek Dooley said. “It’s just amazing what comes up and there are some great lessons.
“If you look (at Tennessee) over the last two years, we’ve lost a number of games in the last 31/2 minutes where we had a chance to win it. I think the teams that play the best in the last 3-4 minutes tend to win the most games, so we are going
Big Plays in First Kentucky Scrimmage
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The offensive units put some touchdowns on the board and the defense also made some big plays in the first major scrimmage of Kentucky spring football practice, held Saturday afternoon at Commonwealth Stadium.
Quarterbacks Mike Hartline, Morgan Newton and Ryan Mossakowski, who are contending for the starting role, each directed two touchdown drives. The QBs rotated possessions in directing the first- and second-team offensive units.

“The thing that I see with this quarterback situation, I thought Mike Hartline did a really good job of getting us in the end zone, managing the team,

Wyoming Holds Second Spring Scrimmage
Laramie, Wyo. On a beautiful, sunny morning that felt like a football Saturday in the fall, the Wyoming Cowboys practiced for two hours in War Memorial Stadium on Saturday, with the final hour featuring a 79-play scrimmage that saw the offense win by a score of 61-25.
While the score looked lopsided, the unique scoring system utilized in the scrimmage probably made it look more lopsided than it was. With the No. 1 offenses and defenses facing each other for six series and the No. 2 units also scrimmaging against one another for six series, head coach Dave Christensen was pleased with the progress of his team as the Cowboys concluded their 12th of 15 practices this spring.
“Today we went ones on ones for the entire scrimmage best on best,” said Christensen. “It’s not going to be perfect, because
