N.C. State's football game at Duke on Nov. 8 at 3:30 p.m. may not be televised, according to an announcement from the ACC today. The State-Duke game will either be televised by ESPNU or made available via video streaming online by ESPN360.com, which had exclusive coverage of the Wolfpack's 27-24 loss to Maryland on Saturday.
The ACC says ESPN/ABC has declared a six-day option for the games of Saturday, Nov. 8, holding two ACC games — Georgia Tech at North Carolina and Clemson at Florida State. The decision on game times and networks will be decided no later than noon this Sunday.
The six-day option will also affect the game time and network for the Virginia-at-Wake Forest game, which will be televised either by Raycom Sports at noon or on ESPNU at 3:30 p.m.
Two Saturday Nov. 8 game times are set: NCSU at Duke and Notre Dame at Boston College at 8 p.m., but the network decision (ABC or ESPN) will be made Sunday. The Maryland at Virginia Tech game will be televised by ESPN at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6.
