SAN MARCOS, Texas — The Sun Belt Conference, in conjunction with ESPN, announced Monday morning that Texas State's football game against Eastern Michigan on Sept. Saturday, 25 will kick off at 1 p.m. CT / 2 p.m. ET. Additionally, the game will be streamed on ESPN+. 

Texas State radio play-by-play announcer Clint Shields and radio analyst Geff Gandy will bring the Bobcat game action to the airwaves on KTSW (89.9 FM in San Marcos) and The Varsity Network app. 

Texas State's football game at Eastern Michigan will mark the first-ever trip to Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Last season, the Eagles concluded the pandemic-stricken 2020 college football campaign with a 2-4 record and a fifth-place finish in the Mid-American Conference's (MAC) Western Division. 

Eastern Michigan is currently sporting a 1-1 record heading into this weekend's contest at Massachusetts. The Eagles knocked off Saint Francis (Pa.), 35-15, to start the season before falling to then-No. 17 Wisconsin, 34-7, last weekend. 

Texas State heads into this weekend's game against Incarnate Word with a 1-1 record, too. The Bobcats opened the season with a nine-point defeat to Baylor, before knocking off Florida International, 23-17, in overtime over the weekend.
