ESPN GameDay will pull double duty with two marquee games

The world of sports journalism is no stranger to hyperbole, and tomorrow's television coverage of college football is no exception.

ESPN College GameDay has tagged tomorrow "Judgment Day" in college football. But, despite the lack of biblical implications, tomorrow's games have huge implications on college football.

While No. 4 Michigan squares off against No. 2 Penn State in State College, No. 3 Florida State faces No. 5 North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C..

Big games, yes. "Judgement day" -

a stretch.

Nevertheless, the importance of the two games has forced ESPN to split up its GameDay coverage. Analysts Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit will be in Chapel Hill, while Mike Adamle, Beano Cook and Steve Cyphers will broadcast from State College.

This will be Michigan's third game in front of a GameDay audience, following appearances against Colorado and Michigan State.

ESPN's presence has boded well for the Wolverines, who are 2-0 in games that GameDay has attended.

Coverage begins at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow, with Cyphers reporting on the matchup between Michigan's defense and Penn State running back Curtis Enis.
