After much hoopla – and delay – the rosters for the 2013 LiFE Sports Spring Game have been announced.
Everett Withers will lead his Scarlet team against Ed Warinner’s Gray team.
Key members of Scarlet: Braxton Miller, Evan Spencer, Jordan Hall, Devin Smith, Kenny Guiton, Bri'onte Dunn, Warren Ball, Jeff Heuerman, Nick Vannett, Jack Mewhort, Andrew Norwell, Marcus Hall, Tommy Schutt, Josh Perry, David Perkins and Drew Basil.
Key members of Gray: Bradley Roby, Christian Bryant, CJ Barnett, Noah Spence, Kenny Guiton, Cardale Jones, Curtis Grant, Drew Basil, Warren Ball, Adolphus Washington, Chris Fields, Michael Thomas, Michael Bennett, Carlos Hyde, Tyvis Powell and Doran Grant.
Rosters: Full Scarlet Roster | Full Gray Roster
Braxton Miller and Kenny Guiton will be wearing black no-contact jerseys. The other quarterbacks will be free to roam.
There will be no kickoffs with each possession starting at the 35-yard line. Punts will be fair caught and quarterbacks will be protected. Quarters will be 10 minutes.
The losing team usually walks back to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center from Ohio Stadium. Obviously, that isn't realistic this season, so for the second straight year the loser will clean the Buckeye Grove, south of the Horseshoe.
The game will begin at 1:10 p.m. The game will be shown on tape delay at 7 p.m. Saturday on Big Ten Network. There is also a stream available at btn2go.com.
