Fox will telecast UH-USC football game on Sept. 1

KHON Channel 2 will show the University of Hawaii’s regular season football opener against Southern California as part of a national prime-time broadcast, a FOX Network spokesman in Los Angeles said.

Dan Bell of FOX  said the Sept. 1 contest will be the “first ever regular season college football game in FOX history” to be shown nationally.

Kickoff in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., Hawaii time, USC said.

It will be the first UH game shown on KHON since the 2008 Sugar Bowl.

Two UH games this season, the Sept. 28 contest at Brigham Young, and the Nov. 16 game at Air Force, will be shown on ESPN.
