The annual spring game and BankUnited CanesFest will be held Saturday at the Orange Bowl. Gates open at 9 a.m. and the game begins at 10 a.m. Fans will be able to select-a-seat and get autographs from their favorite players. Sebastian the Ibis and cheerleaders will be on hand to entertain fans, who can also purchase the latest apparel and merchandise.

"We're going to mix it up a bit," Shannon said of the spring game. "It's going to be an Orange vs. White scrimmage and we'll see who can respond in a scrimmage situation. It'll be more like a game."

Annual Spring Game Will Be Orange vs. White

[College Sports News]

Coral Gables - It'll be the Orange vs. the White in the annual spring game Saturday at the Orange Bowl. The annual CanesFest gets underway at 9 a.m., with the spring game beginning at 10 a.m.

The Hurricanes went through their final practice on Friday afternoon at the Greentree Athletic Fields in front of more than 100 former UM football players who returned for the yearly alumni dinner. In attendance were former stars such as Gino Torretta, Steve Walsh, Russell Maryland and coach Jimmy Johnson.

After the practice, head coach Randy Shannon planned to tell the team the breakdown of teams for the spring game. "We had to get the practice in first and do what needed to get done. Then we go to the next phase. (Playing Orange vs. White) is a more competitive situation, more of a game-like situation. Players can cheer for each other and get different guys to bang on during the game. They'll root for each other, point fingers. They don't know this, but whichever team wins gets to eat in the lunch line first after the game. They don't know that ... until they read it on the website, then they'll know."

Orange vs. White in Saturday's Spring Game

The Orange team beat the White team 7-0 in the annual spring game at the Orange Bowl on Saturday morning in front of about 7,000 fans.

Kyle Wright threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Sam Shields just before halftime for the only score of the game.

"The most impressive thing was the competition today, with teams competing, as well as the two-minute drill that the offense scored on," said head coach Randy Shannon. "And in the other two-minute drill (just before the end of the game), the other team had an opportunity to score in the two-minute drill and it would have been a chance for us to take it into overtime or go for two (points).

"You always want to do more, but you can't show a lot when you open it up to the public because you never who's in the stands or who's filming (for an future opponent)," Shannon added. "It was a pretty clean scrimmage."

...and no, Simon, no one was arrested/assaulted/shot/molested/etc.

According to this article, "Kyle Wright completed 7 of 14 passes for 60 yards and one touchdown, and Kirby Freeman was 8 of 19 for 117 yards and one interception." Whiskey, which guy do you think will start?

It seems too early to tell, as both are very inconsistent. Plus, Shannon has been really tight-lipped about his plans.

If I had to guess right now, he'd probably use both in a rotation. But there's a long way to go before opening kickoff.
