Longtime ESPN college football broadcasters Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will dabble with the NFL game in 2020.

On Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN confirmed that Fowler and Herbstreit — who are typically on the call for the ABC College Football Game of the Week each Saturday in the fall — will try their hands at Monday Night Football this year. They’ll be one of two broadcast crews for the first week of the season.
