As we bid farewell to the Bowl Championship Era, ESPN Radio will be all over the game as two of its signature shows will broadcast live from the West Coast as the game will be played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA.
ESPN Radio hack Colin Cowherd and SVP & Russillo will air from ESPN Radio’s Los Angeles affiliate while the audio version of College GameDay will broadcast live from the Rose Bowl. That will lead up to the game which will be called by Mike Tirico and Todd Blackledge.
Cowherd will be live from L.A. starting this Friday. SVP & Russillo will beam from the left coast on Monday and Tuesday.
We have the details from ESPN Radio below.
