Notre Dame's 85th annual Blue-Gold Game airs today, April 12 at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN. The annual spring football scrimmage will provide fans with their First Look at head coach Brian Kelly's top 2014 recruits, as well as a preview of the 2014 Fighting Irish football roster. NBC Sports Live Extra - NBC Sports Group's live streaming product for desktops, mobile devices, and tablets - will stream coverage of the Notre Dame Blue-Gold Game via "TV Everywhere."

Paul Burmeister will handle play-by-play duties of Saturday's game, alongside Emmy Award-nominated analyst Mike Mayock and sideline reporter Alex Flanagan live from Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind.

NBCSN's coverage will be enhanced by production elements that will give fans an all-access look into Saturday's game. Quarterbacks for both teams and head coach Brian Kelly will be mic'd up, and Kelly will be on headset to communicate with Burmeister and Mayock live during the fourth quarter, while simultaneously calling plays from the sidelines.
