Notre Dame football will have two familiar names calling its games this fall.

NBC Sports recently announced that former ESPN broadcaster Mike Tirico will be handling the play-by-play duties for the Fighting Irish this season. Doug Flutie will be the analyst in the booth.

Tirico was a substitute play-by-play voice for Notre Dame last season but has taken over the full-time role, replacing Dan Hicks. He will call all seven games carried by NBC in 2017.

Tirico came to NBC in July 2016 after a lengthy stay at ESPN. Flutie, who will be the analyst next season, is a former Boston College and NFL quarterback.

Sam Flood, executive vice president at NBC Sports, released the following statement regarding Tirico’s new role:

He is the latest in a line of distinguished broadcasters to call Notre Dame football on NBC, including Dick Enberg, Charlie Jones, Tom Hammond, Don Criqui and Dan Hicks.

The schedule of NBC’s coverage of Notre Dame for the 2017 season is as follows:

Sept. 2 vs. Temple
Sept. 9 vs. Georgia
Sept. 30 vs. Miami (Ohio)
Oct. 21 vs. USC
Oct. 28 N.C. State
Nov. 4 Wake Forest
Nov. 18 vs. Navy
