ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ is headed to Provo for BYU-Notre Dame
For the first time in 17 years, ESPN is bringing “College GameDay” back to Provo.
ESPN’s popular “College GameDay” pregame show is returning to Provo for the first time since 2009. The broadcast will air live from BYU in a matchup between the Cougars and Notre Dame, set to take place this upcoming weekend. This encounter marks the second time BYU will host “GameDay,” with the show previously visiting Provo in 2009 for a Mountain West Conference game against TCU.
The stakes are high for both teams, as BYU and Notre Dame are currently ranked No. 3 and No. 8, respectively, in the AP top 25 poll. A significant opportunity awaits BYU, as they have only a 0-4 record in “GameDay” appearances. The “College GameDay” panel for this special broadcast includes host Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, and Pat McAfee.
Former BYU coach LaVell Edwards and ESPN analyst Lee Corso will be in attendance, with Edwards donning a Cosmo mascot head and Corso wearing the TCU SuperFrog head. The show will commence at 7 a.m. MDT, with the game scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.
