COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The final week of spring practice is underway at Texas A&M.

Today the Aggies put in another two hours of work on the Coolidge Grass Practice Fields, their first action since the "Friday Night Lights' scrimmage at Kyle last week.

Today is the first of three practices before the Maroon and White game Saturday at 1 p.m. on Kyle Field.

Head coach Kevin Sumlin said today the format for the spring game will be offense against defense.

"We don't have enough guys to split the team into two separate teams number one, and number two, we still need another day to practice to get some stuff out of it. Our quarterbacks need some development. I just don't wanna go out there Saturday and have our quarterbacks throwing to guys, just because we split a team and have a game, throwing to guys with no names on their backs that will never play for us."

Practice #13—Wednesday, Apr. 25
Practice #14—Thursday, Apr. 26
Practice #15—Saturday, Apr. 28 (1 p.m. on Kyle Field Maroon & White Game)
