ECU vs Marshall moved up a week to 8/29
East Carolina and Marshall have been granted a waiver by the NCAA to play their season opener on Aug. 29 -- a week earlier than originally scheduled -- at ECU's Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium as a tribute to the 75 people who died 50 years ago in the Marshall plane crash.

Navy-ND is on ESPN at 2:00. I would guess 6:00.

That's great. Any time a game worth watching is put on week 0 it's a good thing.

Always good to have another week of watching college football.

I applaud this.
Recognition of historically significant events is a good thing.
(From a conference perspective, having week zero dominated by Navy in Dublin and ECU at home is a very good thing)

Nice tribute...plus, gives ECU an extra week to prep for their big game at South Carolina that follows this one.
