ESPN College GameDay Built by The Home Depot will broadcast live Saturday from the campus of the University of Miami.
The network’s flagship college football program is scheduled to air from 9 a.m. to noon ET live from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. It will simulcast on ESPNU.
Rece Davis will anchor the broadcast. Desmond Howard, David Pollack, and Chris “The Bear” Fallica will provide additional commentary. Kirk Herbstreit and lee Corso will join the broadcast from their homes due to COVID-19 regulations.
The No. 12-ranked Hurricanes will host their Atlantic Coast Conference foes, the Florida State Seminoles on ABC’s weekly Saturday Night Football presented by Capital One broadcast. Chris Fowler will have the call for the game while Herbstreit will provide additional commentary. Reporter Molly McGrath will have all of the game’s key headlines.
Miami comes into Saturday night’s matchup on the heels of a 13-point win (47-34) over Louisville on Sept. 19 and a 17-point win (31-14) over the University of Alabama at Birmingham Sept. 10 in its season opener.
The Hurricanes outperformed the Blazers in almost every category in the teams’ Sept. 10 meeting, from first downs to average gain per play, to total yardage. On the other hand, the Blazers recorded 205 passing yards in the game versus Miami’s total of 155 passing yards.
Louisville gave Miami a harder fight than UAB, performing almost as well as the Hurricanes from the first quarter to the last. The Cardinals outdid the Hurricanes in Net Rushing Yards, 209-160, but Miami’s Net Passing Yards total of 325 just barely beat Louisville’s total of 307.
In the battle of the QBs, Louisville went 16-36 in completions, outdoing Miami there, too, 18-30. The Hurricanes also saw more impact in the penalties category than Louisville, racking up 11 penalties for a total of 89 yards. Louisville, on the other hand, had seven penalties for a total of 70 yards.
Miami’s Third-Down efficiency rate of 6-13 outdid Louisville’s 4-14. At the same time, Louisville was 3-4 in Fourth-Down efficiency. Louisville also outdid Miami in total yardage, 516-485.
Florida State comes into Saturday night’s game hoping to rebound from a Week 1 loss to Georgia Tech. The Seminoles lost the game 16-13.
Florida State struck early in the game, putting up 10 points in the first quarter, but the Yellow Jackets kept the Seminoles scoreless in the second and to only a field goal in the third quarter. Georgia State meanwhile put up 16 points between the third and fourth quarters.
Georgia State outplayed Florida State through most of the team’s Sept. 12 game. The Yellowjackets racked up a total of 438 yards versus Florida State’s 307 yards. Georgia State totaled more passing yards than Florida State (277-198) and more rushing yards (161-109). Even the two interceptions thrown by GT quarterback Jeff Simms weren’t enough to stop the Yellowjackets.
On the positive side for Florida State, Georgia State incurred more penalties and lost more yardage than Florida State throughout the game. The Seminoles were charged with eight penalties for 55 yards while the Yellowjackets had a total of 10 penalties for a loss of 80 yards.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL PRIMETIME ON ESPN
