The CFP semifinal matches are set, and the teams competing in this year’s Fiesta Bowl will be Ole Miss vs Indiana in Glendale, Arizona. The winners will move on to face the winner of the Peach Bowl, which is between Oregon and Indiana on Jan. 19. Before that, Ole Miss and Miami will have to showcase what they have got on Thursday at 7:30 PM EST via ESPN and various services.
The Fiesta Bowl will be an important game, so ESPN’s announcers for it should be good at their job with an entire nation watching. It is good that they have a veteran crew that comprises Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Holly Rowe, and Laura Rutledge calling the action.
Fowler will be the play-by-play announcer, and he has been both ABC and ESPN’s go-to for this for quite some time now. He will be joined in the broadcast booth by color commentator and analyst Kirk Herbstreit, who used to play as a quarterback for Ohio State and has been a veteran analyst for both ESPN and ABC.
Reporting from the sidelines will be veteran sports telecaster Holly Rowe, who is more notable for being a basketball commentator, but is also very much familiar with football. Rounding out the broadcast team will be veteran sideline reporter Laura Rutledge, a former beauty queen who is one of the most notable sideline reporters in sports today.
As for streaming, Fubu and ESPN+ will be responsible for streaming the game online, with SiriusXM broadcasting it on radio. For the Ole Miss broadcast, it will be on Channel 84, and for the Miami broadcast, it will be on Channel 81.
