The Murray State Homecoming football game against Austin Peay on Oct. 19 has been selected as the Ohio Valley Conference "Game of the Week" and will be carried exclusively on ESPN3, the league office announced Monday. Kickoff for the game is set for 3 p.m.
The game is part of a nine-game schedule that will feature each of the nine OVC football-playing institutions at least once during the season. It will include eight Conference matchups and one non-conference game.
The games will be produced by WebStream Sports, an Indianapolis-based company, which is a proven leader in video production, streaming video and content creation. The company, founded in 2006, produces more than 1,000 events annually and has also served as a web streaming consultant for the OVC for the past year. The OVC and WebStream have agreed to a three-year production agreement that will feature at least eight football games over each of the next three years.
Kevin Ingram, host of "The Wake Up Zone" on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville, will handle play-by-play duties while and Bob Belvin, Sports Director for 100.7 FM/AM 540 (ESPN Clarksville), will provide analysis. The duo worked together last year in the league's TV package.
The Racers are set to begin the 2013 season on Aug. 31 at Missouri.
