Spring football check-up

As February melts into March, Purdue already has five of 15 allotted spring practices in the books.

The Boilermakers held their first of three scrimmages on Saturday. Jeff Brohm’s fifth Purdue squad will scrimmage again on March 6 and then cap spring drills with a final scrimmage on March 19.

Observations from the first one-third of spring practices.
