Arizona announces kickoff times, TV broadcasts for five games
Updated
The UA will kick off its season with a 7:45 p.m. game on Sept. 1 against BYU. The game will be shown nationally on ESPN.
The Week 2 game at Houston (9 a.m., Ch. 9/ESPN2) will be a homecoming of sorts for new UA coach Kevin Sumlin, who coached the Cougars from 2008-11 before taking a job at nearby Texas A&M. The UA also announced start times and television listings for games against Southern Utah, Utah and Colorado.
Start times and television listings for the other seven games will be announced by the Pac-12 either 12 or six days before each game, depending on the circumstances.
