The Oct. 6 football game in Hattiesburg, Miss., will air nationally on Fox Sports Net (Root Sports in Boise) or FX, according to Fox.

The game time has not been set. Fox has reserved time slots for 10 a.m. Mountain on both stations and at 1:30 p.m. on Fox Sports Net.

The Southern Miss announcement leaves one game on the schedule without a TV home — the Sept. 29 game at New Mexico. However, that game is expected to be televised.

Boise State has three games slated for ESPN properties this season, five for the NBC Sports Network and two for the CBS Sports Network.
