After 14 practices, the final day of drills culminates in its own Ohio State Super Bowl: the Scarlet and Gray game. The annual spring game returns to Ohio Stadium after a one-year hiatus. Braxton Miller is out, but there’s no shortage of firepower.

Key members of Scarlet: Cardale Jones, Ezekiel Elliott, Curtis Samuel, Devin Smith, Dontre Wilson, Corey Smith, Taylor Decker, Darryl Baldwin, Jacoby Boren, Antonio Underwood, Curtis Grant, Chris Worley, Eli Apple, Ron Tanner, Joey Bosa and Michael Bennett.

Key members of Gray: J.T. Barrett, Bri’onte Dunn, Warren Ball, Michael Thomas, Johnny Dixon, Nick Vannett, Pat Elflein, Billy Price, Kyle Dodson, Noah Spence, Adolphus Washington, Tommy Schutt, Joshua Perry, Raekwon McMillan, Darron Lee, Tyvis Powell, Cam Burrows and Armani Reeves.

The coaching matchup pits assistant head coach for offense/running backs coach Stan Drayton (Scarlet) against cornerbacks/special teams coach Kerry Coombs (Gray), ensuring high quantities of energy on both sidelines. Drayton will be assisted by Tom Herman, Tim Hinton and newcomers Chris Ash and Larry Johnson. Coombs' staff includes Ed Warinner, Zach Smith and Luke Fickell.

The game will feature four 10-minute quarters with clock stoppages throughout the first half and a running clock in the second half. There will be no kickoffs, but Cameron Johnston will be punting under live conditions with all punts being fair catches.  

The losing team will walk back to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center from Ohio Stadium and refurbish the Buckeye Grove on a date to be determined this spring.

The game begins at 1:30 p.m. and will be televised on BTN. It also will be streamed live at btn2go.com. Tickets are $5. The game follows the Ohio State-Michigan lacrosse game, also played at the Horseshoe. One ticket is valid for both events.
