Dan Mullen discusses spring game format: Mullen has rebranded the game back to the Orange and Blue Game (rather than the Orange and Blue Debut) and the teams will be decided by a draft held on Friday - the game won’t necessarily pit 1’s vs. 2’s. Mullen also noted that coaches for each team will have the opportunity to call their own plays and that there will be some guest coaches, who will be announced later this week.

Pack the Swamp initiative: Dan Mullen hopes to break a spring game attendance record, which was set in the 60,000s (I’ve seen conflicting figures as to the exact amount) in Tim Tebow’s final season (2009). He notes that a packed house conveys a more accurate atmosphere for the players and also should impress recruits. (Scott Carter, Florida Gators; Bob Redman, 247Sports)
