This ABC/ESPN/2 thing can be confusing if you're streaming. Whether or not you can stream content to your tablet, like I tried to do while I was working, depends on agreements made between ABC local affiliates and ABC.
e.g., I couldn't stream to my tablet via the ABC App for that because the game was being carried on the local ABC affiliate. Although I didn't fool around with the ESPN App, I might have been able to do that if the game was on ESPN.
This game is very likely to be on ABC and if your local affiliate is broadcasting it, watch out for this.
Alternatively, what I did do was stream audio from IMG Sports network with the IMG App. However, I was forced to listen to Brandstater and Dierdorf muddle their way through the first quarter and part of the second. Thankfully I was watching at home and on TV after that.
These two are wretched as a pair. I think Brandstater can get the play by play done well as long as Dierdorf gets his color out of the way quick enough. They were constantly talking on top of each other with Brandstater forced to try to keep up as the play unfolded. Pretty awful. The one good part of IMG radio broadcast is Doug Karsh on the sidelines.
Brain Griese is a decent color guy for ABC/ESPN. Broke down plays really well with the chalk board stuff. Play by play was OK. The downside of the ABC/Disney broadcasts is all the happy horseshit stuff the announcers have to fit in and the totally worthless sideline commentary.
