FSN's new college football programming

College football fans will have a "bigger, live and on-site" show to look forward to this season on Fox Sports Prime Ticket.

News leaked last week that "Bruin Rewind" and "Trojan Rewind" were canceled, but details are starting to emerge about a new block of programming on Monday nights. "FSN Playbook," a working title, will run from 9 p.m. until midnight.

The block kicks off with an hourlong show called "Lexus Gauntlet Live." It will be shot on location and rotate between UCLA (near the Bruin Bear) and USC (on the steps of Heritage Hall). Viewers can expect the program to be split roughly into one-third UCLA football, one-third USC football and one-third Olympic sports. By airing live on Mondays, the network hopes to have more immediate and relevant coverage of the weekend's action.

No names have been announced, but Prime Ticket spokeswoman Jennifer Johnson said it will be "loaded with talent."

The show will not be locked into a formula in terms of review/preview, so the more compelling story line can get the most airtime. If the previous week was a blowout, the show will focus more on the upcoming game. Another unique feature will be professor profiles, recognizing the academic accomplishments alongside the athletic accomplishments of the schools.

After the live show, Prime Ticket will air a two-hour cut of a classic UCLA/USC game.

FSN does not have plans to carry Rick Neuheisel's weekly news conference, though we do plan on posting clips here on What's Bruin.
