JONESBORO, Ark. (6/6/17) – The Big Ten Network announced Tuesday that it will televise the Arkansas State football team’s 2017 season opener Sept. 2 at Nebraska with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. CT.
With the addition of the Nebraska game, the Red Wolves now have six announced contests set to be televised this season. ESPNU will air A-State’s home games versus Miami (Sept. 9) and Louisiana (Oct. 19), while the team’s Oct. 4 road outing at Georgia Southern will be televised on ESPN2. The Red Wolves Sept. 16 home game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Sept. 23 contest at SMU will both appear on ESPN3.
