Penn opener to reach nationwide audience

 

Though we wrote yesterday about the Penn basketball's crowd-drawing match-ups, Penn football will also have plenty of eyes on it this weekend when it opens its season at home against Lafayette.

In addition to the enthused Penn fans that will be packing into Franklin Field, the game will also appear on ESPN3.com for the first time in the Quakers' history. ESPN3.com (once known as ESPN360.com) is ESPN's online arm and broadcasts a number of live sporting events, some more interesting than others (English Premier League soccer? The CFL?). As a result, national audiences will be able to see the recently ranked Penn football team try to extend its win streak (eight games and counting) and fight for its historic 800th victory.
