Mizzou's Sept. 18 home game vs. San Diego State will also be televised via pay-per-view.

FSN's pay-per-view division will produce and distribute the telecasts.
For the McNeese State game Dan McLaughlin will call the play-by-play alongside former NFL All-Pro defensive lineman D'Marco Farr. Todd Donoho will serve as sideline reporter.
