NORMAN — Oklahoma's spring game this year is just that: a spring game.

At least for a half.

Though the Sooners have experimented with unconventional scoring systems in the past, the first half of this year's scrimmage will be played in a traditional format with the usual scoring system.

“I think our fans can come and follow it just like they would in a game, get some of the exciting situations and competitive situations that you really want,” coach Lincoln Riley said after Tuesday's practice. “And it's adding for our recruits in that it's going to create a better atmosphere, be more game-like.”
