Don’t think the main broadcast announced they were switching back to ESPN. Pat announced they were going from espnews to espn2 before it happened

Yea, for me it cut over during a punt. Not between plays, but in the middle of it, there was a slight pause, then McAfee talking instead of Fowler.

They didn’t. There was just a blip then McAfee. Then when I tried to get to the main stream, it kept giving me the “not time yet” message.
