Colorado School of Mines football – ranked No. 1 in the nation in Division II in back-to-back weeks – will take on No. 9 Western Colorado Saturday, and there’s an important programming note for Orediggers fans hoping to watch on TV.
The matchup will air on Local3, which has broadcast Mines football all year, but Saturday’s game will air on a tape delay.
Kickoff is at noon, but the game will air on Local3 at 4 p.m., or immediately following the Northern Colorado vs. Montana game, whichever is later. You won’t have to miss a minute of the action.
The 8-0 Orediggers are the top-ranked D-II team in the country, according to both the AFCA D-II Coaches Poll and D2football.com.
Mines football is powered by an offense putting up 45.1 points per game, good for best in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and 8th in D-II. They’ll square off with a Western Colorado squad only surrendering 13.9 points per game on the season – also good for tops in the conference and 8th in D-II.
The Northern Colorado vs. Montana game being broadcast beforehand is part of Local3’s regular airing of Big Sky Conference football this season.
