LIVE Updates: Team Orange takes on Team White at Virginia Tech's annual Spring Game

Virginia Tech is wrapping up their spring practice with a different format of their usual spring game.

Instead of the usual two different sets of offense and defense, head coach Brent Pry and his staff have added a bit of jeopardy by holding one team (team Orange) to offense, and the other team (team White) on defense.

The game will be ran in the format listed below.

1st Quarter 15 Minutes (Traditional in-game clock stoppages will apply)

2nd Quarter 12 Minutes (Traditional in-game clock stoppages will apply)

Halftime15 Minutes

3rd Quarter 12 Minutes (Running Clock)

4th Quarter 12 Minutes (Running Clock)

In the first half Tech will kick punts, field goals and PATs. In the secoind half, Tech will kick field goals and PATs only, not kickoffs or punts.

If a drive stalls and Tech would normally punt, the ball will be advanced 40 yards. Drives will begin at the 25-yard line following touchdowns.

If the Hokie offense was to score a touchdown, they will be awarded with six points, a field goal would give three points and a 2-pt conversion also awards two points, with a PAT giving the typical one.

On defense, a TD is worth seven points, a takeaway is worth four points, a 4th down stop is worth three points, a 3 & out is worth two points, a safety is worth two points, a stop is worth one, and a sack/TFL is worth one point.

1st Quarter

Davi Belfort, getting the start on the first drive, despite a couple of nice runs, no lasting momentum gained, as the offense punts.

Kelden Ryan got the start on drive no. 2, so far just two passes thrown between both quarterbacks. Ryan was not able to muster much momentum either as the Orange team must punt again.

Team white (defense) leads 4-0.

The Hokies add some trickery, transfer wideout Donavon Greene heaved a pass to a wide open Cameron Seldon, Seldon with acres in front of him strolls into the endzone.

Ryan fumbles on a and linebacker George Ballance returns it all the way to the house. Team White (defense) leads 14-7.

Ryan launches a pass to wideout Chanz Wiggins, on the near sideline, Wiggins loses control of the pass and Dante Lovett catches teh popped up ball and took it to the house. Wiggins was debatably down as the ball popped out so who knows if that would have counted in a real game. Team White leads 26-7 with just over one minute to play in the first quarter.

With Belfort under center, the Hokie offense stalled and the quarter ended with a punt. Team White leads 28-7.

Second quarter

We were told this was going to be a vanilla spring game. We were not deceived. Another punt means Team White leads 29-9.

A.J. Brand is given his first drive under center, but the offense can not find much life, as another punt is launched.

Belfort is back under center and the Hokies pick up a little life on the ground. Despite moving well into the redzone, Belfort and co. lose their footing and strong defense pushes Team Orange back.

With Ryan back under center, he bursts through a seam and takes a rush 43 yards, however Team Orange canst muster a score. At halftime Team White leads 37-7.

With Belfort back under center, Team Orange methodically moves down the field and Belfort spirals a ball to Ayden Greene. Orange cuts the deficit to 38-14.

Fourth Quarter

Vertical running and missed screen passes filled the majority of the fourth quarter. Team White wins 50-21.
