ESPN picks up Auburn vs. Clemson Game

Auburn is no stranger to early season non-conference tests, and in Week 3, they will have their hands full. With West Virginia being the key non-SEC game last year, the 2009 ACC Atlantic Division Champion Clemson Tigers will be on hand in 2010. It was only a matter of time before a major network picked up the game, and ESPN announced today that they will televise the September 18th game at 6 pm. That will make back to back ESPN night games, as the network will carry the Thursday night game at Mississippi State the week before. Clemson lost playmaking running back CJ Spiller and WR Jacoby Ford but will still be a tough opponent early in the year for Auburn. With the game being televised nationally, the battle between the Tigers just got bigger.
