An ESPN Labor Day doubleheader and marquee matchups on Thursday nights are among the telecasts involving ACC teams slated for ESPN’s 2010 college football schedule. Additional games will be announced in the coming months. Highlights include:
- ESPN’s Labor Day doubleheader Monday, Sept. 6, will feature games from NFL stadiums, beginning at 4 p.m. with Maryland vs. Navy from M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens, followed by Boise State vs. Virginia Tech from FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins, at 8 p.m. An ESPN.com early pre-season poll for 2010 ranks Boise State nationally at third and Virginia Tech at sixth.
