ESPN has assigned an all-star broadcast crew to the Las Vegas Bowl featuring the Boise State and Oregon football teams.

Rece Davis, the host of “College GameDay,” will call play by play. Kirk Herbstreit, the longtime “College GameDay” analyst who works the top ESPN/ABC game every week of the regular season, will provide color commentary. And Molly McGrath is the sideline reporter. McGrath usually works Friday night games, so she’s familiar with the Broncos.

The game airs at 1:30 p.m. MT Dec. 16 on ABC. It’s one of just three FBS bowls on ABC this year.

Herbstreit will call the Las Vegas Bowl for the fourth time. His three previous appearances were from 2010 to 2012 — the other three times Boise State played in the game, all wins.
