The scrimmage was played in three 10-minute sessions with three NCAA officials; the “Green” and “White” squads were mixed up in different combinations for each of the three sessions.

The Scrimmage was followed by an Alumni Game featuring former UH standouts like Julian Sensley, Zane Johnson and Miah Ostrowski, along with fan favorites like Dyrbe Enos and Lance Takaki.

About 500 fans took advantage of the free admission and opportunity to get a sneak preview of the 2016-17 season.
