Virginia Tech Football: Spring Game Rules are Set

Virginia Tech’s spring football game is set and it will take place in Lane Stadium on Saturday, April 22nd at 2:30 p.m. ET. Head coach Justin Fuente met with the media and discussed the format for this year’s spring game.

The spring game will feature four 12-minute quarters with a running clock. It will be the Orange squad (offense) facing off against the Maroon squad (defense). Fuente will limit special teams for the spring game. There will be no kickoffs, no rushing the punter and the ball will be placed on the 35-yard line after scores.

Here’s how the scoring works:

Offensive Scoring

Touchdown = 6 points

Extra Point = 1 point

Field Goal = 3 points

Defensive Scoring

Turnovers = 7 points

3-and-outs = 3 points

Stop = 1 point

The Hokies currently have numerous injuries on both sides of the ball.
