The broadcast network has yet to be determined.

The Green and Gold will travel to New England following a bye week and will be the first of a two-game road trip where they’ll travel to Tulsa the following Friday.

The Bulls were supposed to were supposed to host the Minutemen last October at Raymond James Stadium before scheduling complications due to a Hurricane Irma forced the two schools to postpone the contest. That game has since been rescheduled for 2022.
