COLUMBUS, Ohio — ESPN's College GameDay is coming to Columbus to broadcast live from the Ohio State-Michigan State game.
The college football pregame show will air live on Saturday, Nov. 20 from Ohio State's campus as the Buckeyes, currently ranked No. 5 in the The Associated Press college football poll, takes on No. 7 Michigan State.
The ESPN show typically broadcasts from the campus of a team hosting a major game that week. The program features news and analysis of the day's upcoming slate of college matchups.
GameDay is hosted by Rece Davis. He is joined by analysts Lee Corso, Desmond Howard and Kirk Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback who grew up in Centerville, less than an hour from Cincinnati.
Herbstreit's father, Jim, a former player and captain at Ohio State (1958-60) went on to serve as an assistant coach (1960-61 — national champs in 1961) under the legendary Woody Hayes and also coached with Bo Schembechler at Miami (Ohio), according to his bio on ESPN.
They are one of only two father-son tandems to each serve as captain of their Ohio State teams in the history of the program, according to ESPN.
The show recently aired live from the University of Cincinnati when the No. 2 Bearcats took on Tulsa for its homecoming game earlier this month.
