------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First team offense back out there. Milton at QB. Could be last drive of the official spring game.
Incomplete. Tried to flip a pass to RB out in the flat.
Toafili with 23 yard run up the gut. Nice patience.
Milton sacked by Briggs. Loss of 6.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second team offense coming out again. Let's see if Rodemaker can lead these guys to a first down or two.

Milton to Burrell for 39 yards. Great throw. Just dropped it in there.
Milton incomplete.
Helton on an end around for 3 yards. Jones and Jammie Robinson ran him out of bounds.
Milton incomplete. Threw a slant to Wilson that was a bit behind him, but hit off his hands. Could probably count that as a drop.

So the two starting QBs have both accounted for a TD and a FG on their two drives. Offense up to 20 now.

Offense starts out with a goal-line situation.

Anyway. Game is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. We'll be giving live updates right here. So, hang tight and stay tuned.
