North Carolina will hold its annual Spring Football Game on Saturday, April 8 at 12 Noon at Kenan Stadium. Prior to the game, a Youth Clinic will be held for kids ages second grade through eighth grade. In addition, a Kids' Zone will be set up on the East end of the stadium and will feature several inflatables and games for kids of all ages. Following the game, an autograph session, featuring head coach John Bunting and all Tar Heel players, will be held on the field.

Game Format: The Spring Game will consist of four 12-minute quarters. In the first three quarters, the clock will start and stop just as it does in a real game. In the fourth quarter a running clock will be used. Halftime is five minutes long.

Teams: The teams were divided up by the coaches and players. The coaches assigned the offensive lines and defensive lines and determined that both quarterbacks Joe Dailey and Cam Sexton would play on both teams. The other players were selected in a draft on Wednesday evening after practice. Team captains Shelton Bynum and Jesse Holley selected players for the White team and captains Kareen Taylor and Jon Hamlett selected players for the Blue team.

Broadcast: WCHL 1360 will broadcast the game locally in Chapel Hill with Jeff Hamlin handling the play-by-play duties and Walter Sturdivant and Dawn Bunting providing color commentary. The game will also be available on TarHeelBlue.com with video and audio streaming.
