Time of SDSU-Miami Game Moved for TV

San Diego State’s football game Dec. 1 against second-ranked Miami will be nationally televised and have a 1:05 p.m. kickoff, instead of its previous 7:05 p.m. start, SDSU Athletic Director Fred Miller said Monday.

The game will be a College Football Assn. telecast, aired live on ESPN. The game will mark the Aztecs’ second appearance on national television against a top-five team. CBS carried SDSU’s game at No. 5 Brigham Young on Sept. 22.
