WEST LAFAYETTE − Plenty of college football programs have opted against traditional spring games.
Include Purdue football in the mix.
The Boilermakers will wrap up their spring season on Saturday with what they're calling the spring showcase.
While there will be some 11-on-11 scrimmage scenarios, the spring finale will not be a traditional game.
So what will fans see inside Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday?
More: Purdue football has one week of spring ball left. What questions need answered?
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.
Saturday's spring showcase event is free and open to the public. It begins at noon at Ross-Ade Stadium.
The showcase is not being televised or streamed.
