KU-CU to kick at 4:45 p.m. (CST) on ESPN

Kansas University’s football game at Colorado next week is slated for a 4:45 p.m. (CST) kickoff and will be televised nationally by ESPN.

The Jayhawks (6-0 overall, 2-0 Big 12 Conference play) will be playing on cable giant ESPN for the first time since the Fort Worth Bowl in 2005, when they beat Houston, 42-13. Last year, Kansas lost to Toledo on ESPN2.

Colorado (4-3, 2-1) lost to Kansas State, 47-20, on Saturday, propelling Kansas to the top of the Big 12 North race. KU is the only undefeated team remaining in the conference.

Television possibilities for KU’s game at Texas A&M on Oct. 27 are expected to be announced Monday.
