ESPN’s PR department announced today that the network has been busy solidifying their lineup for the college football season. Multiple new broadcast teams and contract extensions have been announced for the network.
Dusty Dvoracek, Tom Luginbill, and Don Orlovsky have all agreed to contract extensions. Each will be part of a different play-by-play crew on Saturdays.
The new Thursday night play-by-play team includes Adam Amin and Matt Hasselbeck. Amin had previously worked Friday night games. Hasselbeck comes over from ESPN’s NFL coverage. They will be joined by Molly McGrath, who will serve as the broadcast’s sideline reporter.
Dave Flemming will take the reigns on Fridays. He had previously done Thursday night games. He will be paired with Paul Carcaterra. The duo will be joined by a rotating third voice in the booth. NFL Front Office Insider Louis Riddick, former Auburn coach Gene Chizik, and former UCLA coach Jim Mora will all make appearances on Friday night games during the season.
Yesterday ESPN announced the addition of Ryan Leaf to their Saturday play-by-play lineup.
