However, there was a bit of an publish – the game, being a Big Ten contest, was widecast on NBC, and ABC’s main game was the Red River Rivalry between No. 1 Texas and No. 18 Oklahoma (it was widecast on ABC).
Normpartner, Herbstreit widecasts the 7:30 p.m. ET game on ABC, but this depictatement was four hours earlier. With join-by-join proclaimr Chris Fowler already at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Herbstreit had to get there.
