SALT LAKE CITY - Spring football camp enters the home stretch with two practices and a scrimmage on tap this week.
Saturday marks the second and final major scrimmage of the spring in preparation for the Red-White spring game on April 21. Leading up to this Saturday's scrimmage will be practices on Tuesday (3-5 p.m.) and Thursday (3-5 p.m.).
Saturday's scrimmage will run about 80 plays and is tentatively scheduled for 10 a.m. in Rice-Eccles Stadium. The scrimmage will not move inside for weather, so if conditions are poor, the time or even the day of the scrimmage are subject to change.
The two deep at offensive guard has undergone a few changes. Jeremiah Tofaeono is now the starting left guard while Sam Brenner slides over to start at right guard. Brenner's backup is Miles Mason, the starter a year ago, but who has cracked the two deep for the first time this spring.
Latu Heimuli has moved from right to left guard where he will back up Tofaeono, while Mike Honeycutt is now the co-starter at nickel back with Lewis Walker.
