ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s first official Big 12 game will be under the lights on national television.Â
The Wildcats' Big 12 opener against 12th-ranked Utah will kick off at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on Sept. 28 at 7:15 p.m. on ESPN, the conference announced Monday morning.Â
It will mark the second game on ESPN for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ this season. The Wildcats faced New Mexico in the season opener on ESPN. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s 31-7 loss to 14th-ranked Kansas State in Manhattan on Friday was on Fox. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ had five nationally-televised games last season; it has four currently this season, with the Houston game on Friday, Nov. 15 set to air on FS1. Â
The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥-Utah contest will be a rematch of last season's 42-18 win for the Wildcats on Senior Day. It was the Wildcats' first win over the Utes since the overtime thriller in 2015. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ hasn't won in Salt Lake City since 2014. Â
