ESPN's College Football GameDay to take over Jerry World

The crew is coming to Arlington, Texas.

ESPN’s College GameDay has chosen the Alabama-Wisconsin matchup to kick off week one of the 2015 college football season. The crew covered three Alabama games last year.

Tuscaloosa, Ala., hosted the popular Saturday morning show twice in 2014, against No.1 Mississippi State on Nov. 15 and No.15 Auburn on Nov. 29. Alabama won both meetings.

ESPN’s College Football GameDay even made an appearance to the Grove in Oxford, Miss., on Oct. 4, 2014 for Alabama vs. Ole Miss. The Rebels emerged victorious 23-17.

Alabama and Wisconsin will face each other in prime time on Sat. Sept, 5, 2015 at 7:00pm CT.

AT&T Stadium will be the venue for former Alabama graduate Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard. Davis is replacing Chris Fowler, who hosted for 25 years.
