ESPN to Air Football Game at Wisconsin
June 7, 2011
Corvallis, Ore. -
The Big Ten Conference announced Tuesday that the Sept. 10, 2011 football game between Oregon State and Wisconsin in Madison will be televised live by ESPN or ESPN2 beginning at 9 a.m. PDT (11 a.m. CDT).
The game will mark the second time Oregon State has traveled to Madison; the Beavers lost a 23-20 decision to the Badgers Oct. 14, 1961 in the only other matchup between the two programs. Wisconsin is scheduled to conclude the two-game series by traveling to Reser Stadium Sept. 8, 2012.
The Badgers’ coaching staff includes a pair of assistant coaches who held similar positions under OSU head coach Mike Riley in Corvallis. UW assistant coach/offensive coordinator Paul Chryst and wide receivers coach DelVaughn Alexander wore Beaver gear for the 2003 and ’04 seasons.
The Beavers officially begin practice Aug. 8 for the 2011 season and open the campaign Sept. 3 against Sacramento State in Corvallis.
