The Gulf South Conference Game of the Week returns for its 14th season with a 10-game slate featured exclusively on ESPN3 and the ESPN App.
ESPN3 will serve as the exclusive carrier of the league’s package for the fifth straight season. This year’s slate will feature nine Saturday games and one Thursday night contest.
“We are proud to continue to feature GSC football on the national stage on a weekly basis,” said GSC Commissioner Matt Wilson. “The ESPN digital platforms maximize exposure and allow fans, student-athletes and future recruits easy access to the best football in Division II.”
The Choctaws will be featured twice on the GSC on ESPN3, opening with a home game against 2017 NCAA Division II national runner-up West Florida on September 22nd (7:00 pm). MC will also be featured nationally when they travel to Rome, Ga. to face Shorter on October 20th (12:00 pm).
“We played a tight game against West Florida down in Pensacola last season,” said head coach John Bland. “That game came down to the wire, and we are looking forward to playing them at home, and hopefully that will tilt the scales in our direction. We’ve won two straight against Shorter, and this will be a good opportunity on a national stage to get that win streak to three.”
This will be the second time MC has played West Florida on ESPN3, falling at home to Argonauts, 42-28, on October 8, 2016. Overall, the Choctaws have played eight games on ESPN3 since re-joining the GSC in 2014.
