The Sept. 4 season opener between SMU and Texas Tech has been moved to Sunday, Sept. 5 to accommodate national television.

The game will be aired on ESPN and ESPN360.com at 2:30 p.m. CT from Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas. It will be the first Texas Tech game under new head coach Tommy Tuberville.

SMU is coming off an 8-5 season, its first winning season since 1984. The Mustangs ended the year with a 45-10 win over Nevada in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, which also was broadcast on ESPN.

This is the second consecutive time an SMU-Texas Tech game has been moved to accommodate television. The 2007 opener at SMU was moved from Saturday to Labor Day for an ESPN broadcast.

Currently, SMU has two nonconference games on ESPN in 2010. The Mustangs rivalry game against TCU will air on Friday, Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. on ESPN.

The rest of the Conference USA schedule will be released later this week.
