The Purdue Boilermakers will be hosting their annual Spring Game this Saturday. Here's some things to keep your eyes on.

Apr 14, 2012 - The Purdue Boilermakers will be hosting their annual spring game at Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday afternoon, starting at 1 p.m. The game will have a a three period structure, with one 45-minute half and two 20-minute quarters, both of which will have a running clock.

With the addition of Tim Tibesar as the team's new defensive coordinator, Saturday afternoon will be the first time that Purdue's revamped defense will be on display. Players have stated that the system looks the same, but is faster and much more aggressive.

You will also want to pay attention to the quarterbacks. With three, healthy, game tested players vying for the position, Saturday afternoon could be a glimpse as to who will be under center at the start of the season. Caleb TerBush, Robert Marve and Rob Henry will look to make a strong first impression (Henry will be limited for precautionary reasons as he continues to heal from an ACL injury).

The game will be streamed online by the Big Ten Digital Network and will be televised on the Big Ten Network on Monday at 7 p.m.
