What is Purdue football’s spring showcase?

Purdue is treating Saturday’s spring showcase with the same preparation it will leading into the games on the fall schedule.

“We’ll have a normal in-season Thursday practice for us. Which I want them understand what that looks like before we get into the fall,” head coach Barry Odom said. “We’ll have a normal in-season Friday, which is extended meetings and some of the things we do on a run through on Friday.

“Just so when the first game rolls around, it will not be new to the team. That’s everybody. That’s organization wise how we operate in the season.”

Saturday will include a combination of practice and scrimmage situations.

“It will be an awesome opportunity for our fans to come out,” Odom said.
