ESPN Announces College Football Week 3 Broadcast Schedule

Posted on September 11, 2017 by philspicks

Courtesy: ESPN

ESPN has announced its broadcast schedule for its networks’ coverage for the second week of the 2017 – ’18 college football season.

The second week of the 2017 – ’18 college football season launches Friday at 8 p.m. on ESPN with a matchup between New Mexico and Boise State. The weekend’s schedule continues at 7 p.m. Friday as No. 22 South Florida plays host to Illinois on ESPN.

Saturday’s daylong schedule will be highlighted on television with a showdown between No. 3 Clemson and No. 14 Louisville on ABC’s Saturday Night Football presented by Wells Fargo. Coverage is currently scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET. Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Maria Taylor will cover Saturday night’s game live from Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

Along with Saturday night’s game between the Tigers and Cardinals, No. 9 Oklahoma is scheduled to take on Pittsburg at noon Saturday. No. 10 Wisconsin will face BYU at 3:30 p.m. College GameDay Built by The Home Depot will precede Saturday’s games beginning at 9 a.m. live on site in Louisville, KY.

Saturday night’s game between the Cardinals and Tigers is the weekend’s feature game due to the effects of Hurricane Irma. The game was originally scheduled to air at 3:30 p.m., with Miami and Florida State originally scheduled for the 8 p.m. slot. That game was postponed and re-scheduled for Oct. 7, leading the Louisville – Clemson game to fill Saturday night’s headline matchup.

Also shifted as a result of Hurricane Irma was a matchup between Notre Dame and Boston College. That game was originally scheduled for noon, but was moved to a 3:30 p.m. start time on ESPN.

Hurricane Irma’s impact also led Saturday’s matchup between Georgia Tech and USF (scheduled for 7:30 p.m on ESPNNEWS) to be canceled. Other games have also been moved to other networks and times due to the far-reaching effects of Hurricane Irma. The ESPN networks’ full Week 3 college football broadcast schedule is noted below.
