Who will call Utah vs. Texas Tech?

FOX’s Big Noon Saturday time slot is a premier TV window on the college football slate, featuring Gus Johnson on play-by-play, Joel Klatt as the analyst and Jenny Taft reporting from the sideline.

FOX Big Noon Saturday games achieved the highest average viewership among all time slots on all networks from 2021-23 — including a high of 6.74 million average viewers in 2023.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for our football program to play in front of a large TV audience in the Big Noon Saturday time slot on FOX and showcase the energy and atmosphere of Rice-Eccles Stadium,” Director of Athletics Mark Harlan said. “Thanks to FOX and the Big 12 for giving us this stage to amplify our incredible football program and this great university. Our awesome fans will be firing up their grills bright and early—they’ll just be mixing in some omelets and pancakes on their tailgate menus. We look forward to a fantastic day on campus.”
