Have your pencil & scorecard ready. As FOX Sports gets ready to launch the new FOX Sports 1 August 17th, the network has announced quite a few changes for its upcoming College Football coverage this fall.

For starters, FS 1 is going head to head with ESPN airing a weekly Thursday night game. The games will be called by Justin Kutcher, Petros Papadakis and/or Joel Klatt in the booth, with Kristina Pink working as the sideline reporter. FS 1's first game will be Utah State/Utah on Thursday, August 29th. Rob Stone, previously with FOX Soccer, will host the pre, halftime & postgame with Ryan Nece & Coy Wire serving as studio analysts for the FS 1 Thursday night package.

Although Erin Andrews returns as studio host, she won't be doing so on FOX Saturday nights. She's shifting over to FS 1 as host of their own "FOX College Saturday" pregame from their Los Angeles studios. As she does, there will be noticeable changes in the studio. Joey Harrington is being reassigned to work with Craig Bolerjack as one of the new broadcast teams calling the games on FOX's new 24/7 sports network. Eddie George, on the other hand, will be back in the studio with FOX Sports Radio's Petros Papadakis & Joel Klatt sharing airspace with Erin. FOX Sports' Rules Analyst Mike Pereira will also appear, as well as popular Nashville sports radio host Clay Travis, who will serve as the show's College Football Insider. "FOX College Saturday" debuts Saturday, August 31st, going head to head with ESPN's "College GameDay" from 9-11A (CT).

Stone will replace Andrews as new studio host for the primetime games that'll air on FOX stations everywhere Saturday nights starting September 7th when West Virginia & Oklahoma clash in Norman. George & Klatt will serve as studio analysts, while Gus Johnson & Charles Davis will call the games from the game site. Kristina Pink will replace Julie Alexandria as the sideline reporter. Alexandria is now the dugout reporter for MASN's coverage of the Washington Nationals.

As for the other crews calling games on FOX & FOX Sports 1...
PBP: Craig Bolerjack & Analyst: Joey Harrington & Ryan Nece (Sidelines)
PBP: Justin Kutcher & Analyst: James Bates & Brady Poppinga (Sidelines)
PBP: Adam Alexander & Analyst: Chris Simms

But how does the Fox Sports Robot play into all of this?

He's just an animated figure. You're referring to Cleatus...

Just an animated figure? Extensive studies show Americans prefer the whimsical adventures of Cleatus The Football Robot to Rams games.

Erin Andrews is just awful. Bad nasally voice.

Cant wait to hear GUS JOHNSON & Charles Davis as I'm big fans of both.
