It’s the eve of the first Florida Gators spring game since 2019 and Billy Napier has revealed how the two teams will be split up.

Napier and his staff split their roster into two teams and, for the most part, the game will feature the first-team offense vs. the first-team defense. The blue team will be led by Anthony Richardson. It also features other starters Justin Shorter, Xzavier Henderson, and the entire starting offensive line. Having the teams split this way will allow fans to see “good on good” competition with the first-team offense going up the first-team defense for most of the night.

Napier and his staff are taking the game seriously.

The team will split into two teams and will practice separately during the last week of spring camp. On game day, the teams will run out of separate tunnels using both the home and visiting locker rooms.

The game will feature four quarters, a 15-minute halftime and a running clock with the exception of the last four minutes of each half. The clock will also stop for penalties, change of possession, and scores. 

Competition between the two teams will serve as a way for fans to experience a Gators game day at the Swamp. 

Gators Orange team

The Orange team is headlined by Gervon Dexter, Brenton Cox, Jason Marshall, and Trey Dean. Most of the first-team defense resides on the team. While most of the second-team offense comprises the orange squad.

Ohio State transfer Jack Miller will quarterback the orange.

Gators Blue team

New basketball coach Todd Golden will get to serve as the honorary head coach. He’ll get the first team offense and Anthony Richardson as well. The blue team features the starting offensive line of Richard Gouraige, Ethan White, Kingsley Eguakun, O’Cyrus Torrence, and Michael Tarquin.
