Jac Collinsworth, a 2017 Notre Dame graduate, is the play-by-play announcer. Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is the color analyst, and Zora Stephenson is the sideline reporter. Those three will be the announcing crew for all seven NBC game broadcasts this season.
For this game alone, Ex-Irish linebacker Manti Te’o will be part of halftime coverage as an analyst, NBC announced Wednesday, along with former BYU tight end Chad Lewis and host Kathryn Tappen.
NBC has invited a prominent football alum from both teams to be part of the halftime show each of the past two games. Defensive tackle Chris Zorich (played for the Irish from 1987-90) and defensive end Justin Tuck (2001-04) were the first two Notre Dame representatives on the halftime set.
The first two Notre Dame games on NBC each surpassed 2 million viewers. The home opener loss to Marshall Sept. 10 drew 2.48 million watchers and a 1.4 rating. A 24-17 win over Cal Sept. 17 brought in 2.91 million viewers and a 1.7 rating.
