Welcome to Manning Day.
ESPNU will feature Manning-centric programming on Friday (Oct. 22) featuring college and high school games from the family’s accomplished (and ongoing) football careers.
The network will air two games from Eli’s time at Ole Miss and four games from Peyton’s time at Tennessee (broadcast schedule here).
After that, ESPNU will air “The Book of Manning,” a special feature on the family from ESPN’s “SEC Storied” series. That film will air at 4:30 p.m. ET.
After that, ESPNU will broadcast their big event of the day: Berkeley Prep vs. Newman in a high school football showdown featuring junior quarterback Arch Manning, Peyton and Eli’s nephew.
Arch has led Newman to a 4-1 record going into Friday’s game. Their opponent, Berkeley Prep, are 7-0 this season. The contest will begin at 9 ET.
Following the weekend of college throwbacks and primetime high school action, Peyton and Eli will return to the broadcast booth for an alternate broadcast of “Monday Night Football” on ESPN2 to wrap up Week 7.
The Manning broadcast has been a big hit among football fans and Peyton and Eli are back this week to call the Giants-Chiefs game.
