Ohio State spring game coaches Kerry Coombs (the Buckeyes' special teams coordinator/cornerbacks coach) and Stan Drayton (OSU's assistant head coach/running backs coach) picked their respective sides for Saturday's exhibition Thursday evening.

The Buckeyes' top backup, Cardale Jones, will quarterback the Scarlet side, while redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett will lead the Gray. The first team offense primarily makes up the Scarlet team, while the first team defense comprises the Gray roster.

The game will feature four 10-minute quarters with clock stoppages throughout the first half and a running clock in the second half. There will be no kickoffs but returning punter sophomore Cameron Johnston will be punting under live conditions with no returns. You can get all your questions about the 2014 game answered here.
