College GameDay Returns to Clemson for Second Time this Season

ESPN’s iconic college football pregame show, College GameDay Built by The Home Depot, will return to Clemson University for the second time this season Saturday, Oct. 19 at 9 a.m. on ESPN. The three-hour show will originate from Bowman Field, as it did opening weekend on August 31.

This weekend marks the first time GameDay has gone to the same site twice within the first eight weeks of a season; it is also the first time since 2007 the show has been to same site twice in a season.

Hosted by Chris Fowler, the GameDay crew consists of analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and David Pollack, with reporting by Samantha Ponder, Tom Rinaldi, Scott Van Pelt and Gene Wojciechowski.

The 8 p.m. game on ABC pits two undefeated ACC rivals — No. 3 Clemson against No. 5 Florida State. In addition, several studio shows will have live hits from Death Valley on Friday, including SportsCenter and College Football Live (5 p.m., ESPN2 and 5:30 p.m., ESPNU).

A part of the Internal Communications team at ESPN, I began with the network in 2010 as part of the College Sports PR team. Always an avid sports fan and not an athlete – I grew up a huge fan of the Hartford Whalers, while also watching my brother compete at different levels. I became the manager of several high school sports teams and continued that hobby into college. While at Quinnipiac, I worked in the Sports Information Department, which led me to a summer internship at the New Haven Ravens, a AA baseball team, and an eventual job with the Athletic Communications Department at the University of Connecticut. After my five-year stint at Connecticut, I spent six years as Director of Communications at the BIG EAST Conference in Providence, R.I. before joining ESPN.
