DENTON, Texas - Quarterback Derek Thompson's 181-yard afternoon powered the Green squad to a 27-17 win in the annual Green vs. White Spring Game in front of 2,637 at C.H. Collins Stadium on Saturday. The sophomore was 15-of-20 with a pair of touchdown passes, including an impressive 34-yard fade-route score to Brelan Chancellor. The Green defense, which started the game in a 17-point hole, held the White team scoreless all afternoon and limited their six rushers to -16 yards.

If anyone knows, what is the thinking behind making the game ones against twos? Is it just to showcase the starters and make them look better for the crowd? Otherwise I would think ones vs. ones, twos vs. twos, etc., would make more sense.

I think a lot of what it does is to make the twos better as well as weed out some of the twos who should be threes or fours. I've seen this done on many teams in the spring specifically with the front seven during the inside drill late in spring practice.
