KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The injuries limiting Tennessee throughout spring practice will affect the format of Saturday's Orange & White Game.

Tennessee is short on players at certain positions, most notably running back and the defensive line. Because of the lack of depth, Volunteers coach Butch Jones has said Saturday's exhibition at Neyland Stadium will be more of a ''spring event'' than a spring game. The game pits the offense against the defense, with each side earning points for notable accomplishments.

Tennessee will work out in front of well over 100 former Vols, a group that is expected to include Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
