The Heels entered their Saturday scrimmage with a lot of small injuries on both sides of the ball. This prevented the Heels from playing a Blue vs White style scrimmage. Instead fans were treated to a scrimmage more like what the Heels do in practice with a defense vs offense scrimmage. The first team offense would play the first team defense and the backups would play the backups. The new format prevented the Heels from showing much to their fans or to opponents who would be interested in scouting them. The offense and defense each ran simple concepts which kept the game subdued.
