Jedd Fisch discusses tackling, the quarterback competition and a ‘49 percent scrimmage’ after Arizona’s spring practice

The Arizona Wildcats are officially one-third of the way through spring practices, with five of 15 workouts completed under new coach Jedd Fisch and his staff. The last three have included players in full pads, but they’ll take things up a notch on Saturday with a scrimmage inside Arizona Stadium.

Well, at least for part of practice.

Fisch said Thursday the Wildcats will have a “49 percent scrimmage” during the tail end of the roughly 3-hour practice, doing individual drills for the first 90 minutes and then scrimmaging the final 89 minutes. That restriction is per NCAA rules, Fisch said.
