In a move that was yet to be formally announced prior to Friday, the Virginia Tech Hokies and West Virginia Mountaineers’ opener on Labor Day eve night will be nationally televised on ESPN.
This, of course, was assumed when the game was announced as a 7:30 tilt on Sunday, September 3rd at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.
The ACC and ESPN made the game official on Friday as one of the six nationally televised games that has already been scheduled as a primetime game ahead of next season.
The Hokies and the Mountaineers are meeting for the 52nd time in history, but for the first time since the 2005 season, when both teams were members of the Big East Conference.
