College Gameday will air from USF vs. Airforce game
The USF football team once again will enjoy a perk of being a member of Conference USA. ESPN announced Tuesday that the Saturday College GameDay football preview show will air live from West Point, N.Y., prior to the Bulls game against Army on Sept. 27.
The USF-Army game will not be aired on ESPN, but will be televised on the Regional News Network.
ESPN announced the decision, citing “a patriotic theme in recognition to the U.S. Service Academies.”
“In these times, it’s only natural to present College GameDay from the backdrop of West Point and the tradition-rich Army football program,” ESPN senior vice president Norby Williamson said. “This is an opportunity to honor the cadets who lay their lives on the line to protect our freedoms.”
This is the first time for the USF program on the GameDay set, which is hosted by Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler. USF made its first appearance on ESPN just two weeks ago in the season opener at Alabama.
