The game will have a modified scoring format for the defense, which will wear white jerseys and receive points for takeaways (three points), three-and-outs (three points), sacks (two points) and forced punts (one point).

The offense will be get six points for touchdowns, three points for field goals and one point for extra points.

The game will feature live tackling with two exceptions. The first two drives for the first-team units will be “thud” drives. Players will not be tackled to the ground, allowing the Buckeyes to get players in the game that they want to be cautious with to avoid injuries. Quarterbacks will not be tackled at any point during the game, which means defenders will be credited with sacks just for tagging the QB behind the line of scrimmage.
