STORRS, Conn. - For the first time since the 2003 season an intra-conference BIG EAST football game will be shown on primetime television as the University of Connecticut football team takes on No. 4 Cincinnati on ABC at 8 p.m.

This is the first time since 2005 that a BIG EAST football program has been shown on ABC in primetime. The last school to do so was Pittsburgh when they took on Notre Dame.

The game will be one of three games shown at that time as No. 12 USC will faceoff against Arizona State and No. 20 Oklahoma will be pitted against Nebraska.

Exact broadcast maps of the game should be available Monday or Tuesday.
