Doug Marrone Interview Transcript
The annual Orange football annual Spring game is Saturday, Apil 18 at the Carrier Dome (1:00 p.m., free admission). Head coach Doug Marrone has plans to show the fans what his team has worked on throughout Spring practice, while still utilizing the practice day to continue to improve.
“It'll be a scrimmage," Marrone said. "It'll be a controlled scrimmage because the one thing is that we're still in an evaluation period with our players. My thoughts on the future for the spring game will be a game, kind of like it was when I played. We'll split up sides and have a game. It comes into play well for us this year, obviously, with only two quarterbacks, so we'll have a controlled scrimmage much like you've seen here. We're working on a point system so we can have a winner and a loser, I guess you could say (smiling)."
Marrone looks forward to concluding the Spring practice season in a strong manner.
"I want to play football and it'll be our last time out," he said. "I want to get everything we can out of ourselves."
