MOUNT PLEASANT - Central Michigan held its final practice prior to Saturday's annual spring game on Friday morning.
The Chippewas hit the practice field at the Indoor Athletic Complex at 7 a.m. for a 90-minute workout.
Following practice, head coach Dan Enos announced the rosters for Saturday's game and introduced two of the guest head coaches for the game: CMU gymnastics coach Jerry Reighard and wrestling coach Tom Borrelli.
Saturday's spring game will consist of four 10-minute quarters with a 10-minute halftime. The scrimmage will follow a regular game format, except for limited contact on special teams plays.
"It's going to be a fun day," Enos said. "We tried to make the teams as fair as we could, but we're limited on bodies. It's obviously not going to be a perfectly played game, but that's not the object. The object is to evaluate these guys in a game-like situation and to give them a reward and let them play in front of the fans. We want them to have fun and enjoy the experience."
Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. Pregame festivities begin at 2 p.m. with a free kids' clinic with the CMU players and coaches.
