ESPN names TV announcers for Clemson football vs Louisville in Week 12

The Clemson Tigers will face the Louisville Cardinals in Week 12 of the 2025 college football season in a rare Friday night game at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium (previously Cardinal Stadium).

ESPN announced who will have the TV call of Friday's game. The broadcast crew of Anish Shroff (play-by-play) and booth analyst Andre Ware will call Clemson-Louisville. Paul Carcaterra will report from the sidelines.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The game will be shown on the flagship ESPN channel, marking Clemson's fourth appearance on the network this season and its first since the Tigers' 38-10 win over North Carolina on Oct. 4.

For Shroff and Ware, it's the duo's first time calling a Clemson game this season. Shroff joined ESPN as a studio host in 2008 and is the radio play-by-play voice of the Carolina Panthers. Ware, the 1989 Heisman Trophy winner, has been a college football commentator since the early 2000s, first with CBS and later ESPN.

Clemson (4-5 overall, 3-4 ACC) is coming off a 24-10 victory over rival Florida State that snapped a six-game home losing streak to Power Four opponents. It was the Tigers' ninth win in the last 10 meetings against the Seminoles.

Louisville (7-2, 4-2) suffered a stunning 29-26 upset loss to California on Saturday that saw the ACC standings take a dramatic shift.
