EUGENE -- The college football offseason has been anything but business as usual at Oregon, where long-held traditions have been tweaked left and right to fit the vision of new coach Willie Taggart.

The Ducks have new coaches, players, slogans and schemes -- all of which will be on display Saturday when UO caps spring practices with its annual spring game at Autzen Stadium.

But fans in attendance will find that at least a couple traditions have continued from the eras of Chip Kelly and Mark Helfrich.

For an eighth consecutive year, Oregon will honor local members of the armed services, in part, during a postgame ceremony where UO players will give their jerseys to men and women from all military branches. Also, before the game the Moshofsky Center, which opens at 9 a.m., will host a military exhibit and fans will see a flyover by Oregon Air National Guard F-15 jets and Coast Guard helicopters prior to the 11 a.m. kickoff.

In addition, the game will again support the food bank Food For Lane County via a suggested donation of three items of non-perishable food per admission.

Oregon coach Willie Taggart said Tuesday that the spring game format will be that of a true game, and though fans have already been invited to watch two open practices this spring prior to Saturday, this will be the most extensive look yet at the veterans and newcomers jockeying for playing time as Taggart has reopened all competitions for playing time.

Free shuttles bound for Autzen will begin leaving from South Eugene High School and the northwest parking lot of the Valley River Center mall at 9 a.m. The shuttles will take riders back to those lots for approximately 30 minutes after the game's end.

Oregon is marketing Saturday as an opportunity to cluster several UO games in one day. UO softball hosts Oregon State at 1 p.m., and Ducks baseball hosts Arizona State at 2 p.m.
