Stephen A Smith appearing at Miami football game versus Georgia Tech

ESPN polarizing media superstar Stephen A. Smith will appear on the ACC Huddle pregame show at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night prior to the Miami football game versus Georgia Tech. Smith will join host Kelsey Riggs and analysts Eric Mac Lain, EJ Manuel, Mark Richt and Eddie Royal on the ACC Huddle.

ACC Huddle is making its first appearance this season for a Miami football game. Georgia Tech at Miami is on the ACC Network with an 8:00 PM Eastern Time kickoff. Saturday night is the third Miami game on the ACC Network this season. Miami began the season on the ACC Network versus Miami (Ohio).

Miami also appeared on the ACC Network in their win over Bethune-Cookman. The Miami wins over Miami (Ohio) and Bethune-Cookman were also in primetime. Those were the only two-night games Miami has played this season. The Hurricanes will wear their Miami night uniforms versus Georgia Tech.

The response from the Miami fan base will be interesting for prominent New York Knicks fan Smith. There is a past with Smith and the Miami football program. Three years ago, Smith interviewed Miami quarterback D’Eriq King. Smith’s expertise is more with the NBA than college football.

Miami hosting Georgia Tech will receive a lot of attention on the ACC Network. ACC PM is on the Miami campus on Friday afternoon before the game broadcast and ACC Huddle on Saturday. Smith joining the ACC Huddle will bring more attention. Miami could receive national notoriety next weekend at North Carolina.

North Carolina hosts Syracuse on Saturday with a chance to improve to 5-0. The game between Miami and North Carolina next Saturday is on a six-day hold with the potential to be the ABC primetime game. If Miami and North Carolina win on Saturday, ESPN Gameday could be in Chapel Hill next weekend.
