A likely top-10 matchup highlights the opening week of prime-time Saturday college football coverage on ABC this season, as LSU will visit Clemson in South Carolina on Aug. 30.
The matchup will feature two highly touted quarterbacks in Garrett Nussmeier and Cade Klubnik, respectively.
The battle of the Tigers takes center stage at 7:30 p.m. ET, with ABC’s other Saturday coverage during Week 1 featuring Syracuse against Tennessee in Atlanta (noon ET) followed by Alabama at Florida State at 3:30 p.m. ET.
The next day, Notre Dame will take on Miami in Coral Gables, Fla., at 7:30 p.m. ET, which will follow Virginia Tech against South Carolina in Atlanta on 3 p.m. ET. Bill Belichick’s anticipated North Carolina debut will air on ABC on Labor Day, with the Tar Heels hosting TCU in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Opening week will kick off on Thursday, Aug. 28, with a doubleheader consisting of Boise State at South Florida (5:30 p.m. ET) and Nebraska versus Cincinnati (9 p.m. ET) in Kansas City, Mo.
What makes Aug. 30 a little more special is that ESPN announced that day’s edition of College GameDay will be the last for 89-year-old Lee Corso, leading many to believe that the show will broadcast from Florida State, where Corso played from 1953-57.
The full broadcast lineups for the first three weeks at each major network are expected to be announced on May 29.
