COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - MWC on TV

All seven games involving Mountain West Conference football teams will be televised this week, including three contests that will be available nationwide on cable and satellite systems.

Two of the three national broadcasts are part of a 19-game package between the MWC and its television partners, CSTV and VERSUS. Overall, 30 football games involving MWC teams will be available on cable and satellite systems this season.

Action gets started Thursday, September 13, as Air Force (2-1, 1-0 MWC) welcomes conference foe TCU (1-1, 0-0 MWC) in a CSTV-televised outing, set for 6 p.m. MT in Colorado Springs. The Horned Frogs have won four in a row against the Falcons, who enter the contest riding a two-game win streak under new coach Troy Calhoun.

Saturday's slate of MWC games kicks off at 3 p.m. MT with a VERSUS telecast featuring No. 11 UCLA (2-0) at Utah (0-2). This marks just the ninth meeting between the Bruins and the Utes, who are squaring off in Salt Lake City for the first time since 1974.
