ESPN announced on Thursday that UM’s second home game, on Sept. 6 against Bethune-Cookman, will be played at 7 p.m. and be streamed on ESPN-plus and ACC Network Extra. (There will be no traditional network cablecast or broadcast.)

ESPN also announced that UM’s Friday night, Oct. 17 home game against Louisville will kick off at 7 p.m. and be televised on ESPN or ESPN2.
