HUNTINGTON, W.Va.-[/B]Marshall Athletics has announced the format for Saturday's annual Green and White game, which is set for 2 p.m. at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
The two teams will be coached by Herd legends Chris Massey (Green) and John Grace (White).
"While there will be two teams, the scrimmage itself will focus more on getting as many repetitions as we can and will, at times, be situational in nature," said Marshall head coach Doc Holliday. "Our guys have been practicing at a high level this spring and we want to get as good a look as we can in our final practice. The focus of spring ball is for us to get much better as a football team, and we're doing that."
