Bristol, CT - August 26, 2015 - Studio F: Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit on the set of College GameDay Built by the Home Depot Preview

Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard will kick off the season with a one-hour College GameDay Season Preview Special Built by The Home Depot on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 11 a.m. on ESPN. The GameDay crew will provide their insights and preview the upcoming season.

The show will include predictions for conference champions, who’s in the race for the Heisman Trophy and which teams will be part of the inaugural College Football Playoff. Interesting tidbits from the show include:

  • Two of the analysts selecting UCLA to win the College Football Playoff National Championship
  • Corso, Herbstreit and Howard picking only one SEC team to advance to the College Football Playoff Semifinals
  • Corso stating that the Pac-12 is deeper than the SEC this year

The annual preview show is the precursor for college football’s longest-running and most-celebrated pregame show, which will begin and end the 2014 season from Sundance Square in Fort Worth, Texas. The weekly three-hour Emmy Award-winning show (Saturday 9 a.m.-noon ET) will open on August 30 in advance of the Cowboys Classic. The annual neutral-site matchup from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will pit the defending national champion Florida State Seminoles against the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday Night Football as part of DICK’s Sporting Goods Kickoff Week at 8 p.m. on ABC.

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.
