Blue team quarterback Kale Pick drops back to pass during the first half of the spring game Saturday, April 24, 2010 at Memorial Stadium.

2:44 p.m.

Pick’s final numbers (when you combine his Blue and White team stats): 14-for-22, 214 yards, two TDs, 0 interceptions.

Webb’s final numbers: 8-for-13, 46 yards, TD, INT

FINAL: Blue defeats White, 14-10

Sands ends the game with an 18-yard sideline run, and officially, the Blue squad wins, 14-10.

Blue 14/White 10 — 3:00 left in game

Pick strikes again with another nice deep pass.

The QB throws a ball deep down the sideline for Matthews, who makes a great adjustment on the ball to bring it in before running to the end zone for a 37-yard touchdown. Nice play by Matthews, who looks like he’ll find the field in some fashion because of his athleticism.

White 10/Blue 7 — 9:26 left in game

Outstanding play by cornerback Calvin Rubles, who breaks in front of an out pattern, catches a Jordan Webb pass, then taps a foot inbounds for the interception. Tertavian Ingram didn’t do a great job of coming back to fight for the ball.

White 10/Blue 7 — 11:36 left in game

Conner Teahan checks in at quarterback and receives the loudest applause of the day. He completes a pass to Omigie, but on fourth down has a throw in heavy traffic knocked away.

White 10/Blue 7 — 17:07 left in game

Quarterback Jacob Morse with his first action. The running clock is making this second half go quickly.

White 10/Blue 7 — 22:30 left in game

A KU football tradition continues: A large rush of fans leave at halftime.

Opurum with one of the best runs of the day, bulling over Tyler Patmon for a six-yard gain.

The next possession, Quigley breaks free on the right sideline for 25 yards. Great block by tight end A.J. Steward to break Quigley for the long run.

White 10/Blue 7 — Halftime

Branstetter misses a 45-yard field-goal attempt with three seconds left to take us to halftime.

White 10/Blue 7 — 1:11 left in 2nd quarter

A little razzle-dazzle by KU, as Pick keeps the ball on a fake end-around. He floats a pass that appears to hang in the air too long, but the 5-foot-7 Sands skies to catch the pass over a defender and also save the interception. Sands is pumped about it, too, jumping up to high-five Pick.

White 10/Blue 7 — 4:19 left in 2nd quarter

Jacob Branstetter knocks through a 36-yard field goal from the right hash. The drive stalled when Webb received heavy pressure up the middle and had to release the throw quicker than he wanted to.

Blue 7/White 7 — 8:36 left in 2nd quarter

Quinn Mecham goes in with the blue squad, but after picking up a first down, he has a floating pass intercepted by Linton. The freshman returns it 30 yards before getting shoved out of bounds.

Blue 7/White 7 — 11:09 left in 2nd quarter

Pick and Webb trade three-and-outs. Christian Matthews goes back as a punt returner. The coaches seem to have a lot of plans for Matthews this season.

Blue 7/White 7 — 13:35 left in 2nd quarter

Kale Pick answers, delivering a deep ball in stride to Chris Omigie deep down the field for a 73-yard touchdown pass. Omigie high-steps into the end zone, and we’ll see if KU coach Turner Gill talks about that after the game. Safety Dexter Linton was the one burnt on the play.

Blue 7/White 0 — 14:55 left in 2nd quarter

Webb makes a play by himself offensively, scrambling away from pressure to his right before firing a bullet off his back foot to Biere, who brings it down in the end zone for a 20-yard score. To get that kind of mustard on a pass like that is impressive, regardless of level of football.

Blue 0/White 0 — End of 1st quarter

Webb switches to the Blue side. His favorite target is Beshears, who has caught a few passes in the flat and turned them into nice gains.

Blue 0/White 0 — 2:27 left in 1st quarter

Quintin Woods with a third-down sack. Webb’s elusiveness and ability to get around defenders doesn’t play well in a spring game when the QBs are sacked when they are simply touched.

Blue 0/White 0 — 4:00 left in 1st quarter

Kevin Young with a touch-sack. The defensive front seven has gotten some good push so far.

Young with another sack, this time on third-and-20. The defensive line is the story of the game so far.

Blue 0/White 0 — 7:10 left in 1st quarter

Darius Parish sacks Webb on third and long. Alonso Rojas comes in for his first punt. D.J. Beshears will return the punt.

Blue 0/White 0 — 8:56 left in 1st quarter

Travis Stephens touches Pick for a sack on fourth-and-10.

Jordan Webb starts for the White Team, even though the original roster had him on the Blue squad.

Blue 0/White 0 — 10:23 left in 1st quarter

On third-and-12, Pick completes a pass in traffic to Biere for 14 yards.

Also, KU’s offensive players — much like last year — are still looking to the sideline before the snap to get the final play call.

Blue 0/White 0 — 11:45 left in 1st quarter

Deshaun Sands returns the opening kickoff. Could that be his role next year?

Kale Pick gets the first rep at QB for KU. Pick’s first pass is a rollout completion to Tiim Biere for 21 yards.

12:55 p.m.

The new videoboard on the south side of Memorial Stadium should be a highlight for those folks coming to the game today. The board appears to be at least three times bigger than the old board, and the picture on the screen also is about as clear as you can get on a videoboard that large.

We haven’t been given a depth chart up to this point in the spring. Quickly, let’s look at the surprises I see from the depth chart below.

• Christian Matthews, WR

Just a couple weeks ago, Matthews was wearing a red jersey and competing for the quarterback spot. Now, he appears with the first unit of wide receivers. KU’s coaches must be wowed by his athleticism to move him so high on the depth chart already.

• Randall Dent, DT

This 6-foot-5, 275-pound red-shirt freshman from Grand Prairie, Texas, has a short bio in the media guide. He was named the defensive scout team player of the week twice last season, and now, he’s with the first team in a crowded position battle on the defensive line.

• Erick McGriff and Chris Omigie, WRs

These red-shirt freshmen have received their share of hype — and deservedly so — but as of now, they haven’t appeared to crack the first team just yet.

• Justin Puthoff, FB

He appears with the first-team on offense at fullback over Steven Foster. Puthoff switched from tight end to fullback during spring drills.

12:10 p.m.

Here is the format for today’s game:

• First half will feature two, 12-minute quarters

• Halftime will be 20 minutes

• Second half will consist of one, 25-minute running-clock period

12:05 p.m.

Welcome back to the Newell Post Live, coming to you from Memorial Stadium where the Kansas football team is preparing for its annual Spring Game — the first under new coach Turner Gill.
