Akron-Penn State Game To Be Televised Regionally

Season-opening Sept. 4 tilt slated for ESPN Regional network; PAX 23 to carry game locally

Aug. 22, 2004

AKRON, Ohio - Local Zips fans will be able to see the first game in the J.D. Brookhart coaching era as the Sept. 4 season-opening Akron-Penn State football game will be televised on the ESPN Regional network.

Akron's WVPX Channel 23 will carry the game in northeast Ohio. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. (EST) from Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa.

The game will also be televised in a number of Pennsylvania markets (see list below) and be available as part of the ESPN Game Plan package for UA fans outside the local viewing region.

Mike Waddell (play-by-play) and Kelly Stouffer (color) will handle the action in the television booth. Waddell serves as the "Voice of the Zips" on television broadcasts, while Stouffer will be making his first appearance on a Zips football broadcast. Stouffer is no stranger to collegiate football, having been drafted in the first round of the 1987 NFL Draft out of Colorado State before playing four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (1988-91).
