ESPN to host college football show from UNC for Belichick's first game

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- Before you know it, college football will be kicking off again, and the Bill Belichick era at UNC will begin with a special visit from ESPN.

The Tar Heels start their season on Labor Day, and the worldwide leader in sports will host a special one-hour College Football Countdown show live from Kenan Stadium from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Matt Barrie will host the show and will be joined by Tedy Bruschi, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban.

Rece Davis and Kirk Herbstreit will call the game.

UNC is taking on TCU. It will be the first Monday night regular-season game in Tar Heels history.

A ticket to the season opener will be hard to come by. The school announced Wednesday that all season and single-game football tickets are sold out, the earliest point ever for the program to be sold out.
