Todd Harris will serve as the play-by-play announcer for Towson – William & Mary, and will be joined in the booth by analyst Ross Tucker. Carolyn Manno will report from the sideline of Minnegan Field at Johnny Unitas Stadium, where Towson has not lost a home-opener since 2004.

Later that afternoon, Boise State hosts Miami (Ohio) at 4 p.m. ET, as the Broncos look to bounce back from a difficult loss against Michigan State. The contest will be the first home game of the season for the Broncos, as they try to extend their home-opener streak to 11.

Paul Burmeister will manage the play-by-play duties for The Game and will be joined by analyst and NFL Hall of Fame inductee Rod Woodson. Anthony Herron will serve as the sideline reporter.

NBC Sports’ college football studio team of Liam McHugh, 1984 Heisman Trophy Winner Doug Flutie, and two-time Super Bowl champion Hines Ward will provide pre-game, halftime or post-game coverage throughout the 2012 season.
