ABC and ESPN Going Nearly All Out for Miami at Florida State

The ACC Network Huddle Pregame Show will be live in Tallahassee on Saturday. That is the second straight Miami game the network will highlight after being live in Coral Gables for the Florida Game on September 20. The top ABC/ESPN announcing team will call Miami at Florida State.

Chris Fowler will call play by play, Kirk Herbstreit is the analyst and Holly Rowe is the sideline reporter. The ACC Huddle Pregame show will air from 10 AM to noon Eastern Daylight Time from the Heritage Fountain outside Doak Campbell Stadium.

The ACC Network will have a "Field Pass with ACC Huddle alt-cast provides alternate live game viewing experience (7:30 p.m., ACCN)." Also, per the ESPN press release "Former Miami head coach and longtime FSU assistant Mark Richt provides pre and postgame coverage alongside Kelsey Riggs Cuff and Tom Luginbill."

The ACC Huddle alt cast will have host Taylor Tannebaum with former Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher, former Clemson offensive lineman Eric Mac Lain and Virginia Tech wide receiver Eddie Royal providing analysis of Miami at Florida State on the ACC Network during the game.

ACC Huddle Scoreboard at 6:30 PM EDT and the ACC Huddle Final Score postgame shows with Riggs Cuff, Luginbill and Richt will also extensively cover Miami at Florida State live from Tallahassee. The ACC Huddle pregame show will feature a segment on the Florida State versus Miami rivalry from 1987 to 1993.

Florida State and Miami played four times in that seven-year span when both were ranked in the top five nationally. Miami won seven out of eight games versus Florida State from 1985 through 1992. The only Miami loss in that time span was in 1989 when the Hurricanes won the national championship.

The only thing missing from the Miami at Florida State game this weekend is ESPN College GameDay. Florida State's 46-38 double overtime loss at Virginia probably kept GameDay from being in Tallahassee this weekend. ESPN GameDay will broadcast live from Tuscaloosa for Vanderbilt at Alabama on Saturday.
