MISSOULA — Longtime sports broadcaster Brent Musburger, who grew up in Billings, will call the season-opening football game between Montana and four-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State in Missoula.
The FCS battle will be aired on ESPN starting at 1:30 p.m. on Aug.29 and marks the start of the football season as part of the network’s second annual FCS Kickoff.
First-year Montana football coach Bob Stitt said Musburger called him Monday to let him know that he and color commentator Jesse Palmer will call the game.
Musburger has called seven BCS National Championship games, including the last five.
