SALT LAKE CITY -- ESPN College Football GameDay is coming to Salt Lake City this week and fans are encouraged to attend all of its shows in Rice-Eccles Stadium.

On Friday, Nov. 5, the ESPN GameDay crew of Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Erin Andrews will broadcast segments for SportsCenter, College Football Live and other ESPN shows from the set in Rice-Eccles Stadium from 10 a.m. until around noon.

On Saturday, College Football GameDay will begin airing before a live crowd at 7 a.m. The show lasts for three hours (until 10 a.m. MT), with the first hour on ESPNU and the remaining two hours on ESPN.

Admittance to the shows is free to the public.

Three and a half hours after ESPN GameDay concludes its show undefeated Utah and TCU will kick off in Rice-Eccles Stadium at 1:30 p.m. The game, including standing room tickets, is completely sold out. It will be televised on CBS C.

This is the first time in Mountain West Conference history that two undefeated, Top 10 teams will matchup. In 2008, Utah's undefeated Sugar Bowl season, Utah was ranked 8th and TCU 12th when the two teams played, also in Rice-Eccles Stadium. The Utes prevailed, 13-10.

ESPN GameDay last visited Salt Lake City in 2004 during Utah's 12-0 Fiesta Bowl Championship season.
