The Jacksonville State-Western Kentucky showdown has begun for national TV coverage

The road matchup between Jacksonville State and Western Kentucky has been selected for an ESPNU broadcast, Conference USA announced Monday morning.

The Gamecocks (7-3, 6-0 CUSA) will take on Western Kentucky (7-3, 5-1 CUSA) on Saturday, Nov. 30 at Houchens Industries-LT Smith Stadium in Bowling Green, Kentucky; kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m

If both teams win their games this Saturday, it sets up a potential winner-takes-all contest between the Gamecock and Hilltoppers for the CUSA regular season title and hosting rights for the conference title game.

Regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s game against Sam Houston for Jax State, a win against WKU would clinch a spot in the conference title game.

If WKU loses to Liberty on Saturday and Jax State wins, the Gamecocks would win the regular season title regardless of the outcome of this game.

The CUSA championship game is scheduled for Friday, December 6 at 7 p.m.; will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network.

With the announcement, Jax State will have eight games on national television this season, seven of which are conference games.

Jax State’s next game is against Sam Houston on Saturday at AmFirst Stadium at Burgess-Snow Field. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. and the game will be televised on CBS Sports Network.
