The first-team offense will face the second-team defense while the second-team offense will square off against the first-team defense Saturday.

The FanFest runs from 9 a.m. until 11:15 a.m. with inflatables, face painters and prizes for fans right outside Alumni Stadium. Following the game, the players will be available for autographs.

Merchandise and concessions will be open throughout the game at Alumni Stadium.
Practice Notes: Los Angeles Rams safety and former BC standout John Johnson was in attendance at practice Thursday and spoke to the team following practice. 2017 Scanlan Award recipient Charlie Callinan was also on hand at Thursday's practice … the defense was active Thursday with four interceptions during team work … number changes this spring for players in Saturday's spring game include defensive back Nolan Borgersen wearing No. 19, offensive tackle Nate Emer wearing No. 71 and offensive lineman Adam Korutz wearing No. 69 … Saturday could see BC rest several of its marquee players who have either been limited this spring or have already earned a bulk of reps already over the previous 14 practices … BC's three New Hampshire natives (Chris Garrison, Hunter Long, Drew McQuarrie) were interviewed by WMUR-9 following practice Thursday. Garrison returns as one of two starters at tight end in 2018 while Long and McQuarrie have enjoyed breakout performances this spring for the Eagles. All three players should see the field this fall for BC.
