BYU v Nebraska game time set

609374611852005377

That's 1:30pm, Saturday Sept. 5th, nationally televised on ABC. Not too shabby.

UN has won 29 openers in a row. Let's end that record.

That's a nice network and nice time on a Saturday. Should get some eyeballs on that one. :)

Good way for Taysom to launch his Heisman campaign.

That is a great time slot!



And, Texas at Notre Dame and Wisconsin v. Alabama are played that evening, so won't compete for viewers. Looks like we compete against Virginia-UCLA (FOX) and either Louisville-Auburn and ASU-Texas A&M (one will likely be on CBS and the other the ABC/ESPN2 mirror with BYU-Nebraska).



It'll be a surprise if the game gets lower than a 2.0 rating. The last two years, the opening Saturday 3:30 game on ABC has landed ratings of 2.4 (3.67M viewers) and 4.0 (6.4M viewers).



We also know:



- Week 2 - Boise ST.-BYU - Saturday on ESPN - no time set yet.

- Week 3- BYU-UCLA Saturday on FS1 at 10PM EST.

- Week 5- UConn-BYU - Friday on ESPN at 10:15PM EST.

- Week 7 - Cincinnati-BYU - Friday on ESPN at 8PM EST

- Week 8 - Wagner-BYU - Saturday on BYUtv at 3PM EST

- Week 10 - BYU-SJSU - Friday on CBSSN at 11:30PM EST (yuck!)

- Week 13 - BYU-USU - Saturday on CBSSN at3:30PM EST (dumb - if we're ranked, I hope someone buys this game)



If we have a good showing, we could be on ABC again against Michigan in week 4 and against Missouri in Week 11.

Got the tickets and looking forward to watching from the top of the stadium.

I'm jealous.
