The ESPN+ video stream of No. 11 Arizona State football’s season opener against Northern Arizona on Saturday switched from a black screen to blurred flashes of the game on the field after halftime, frustrating fans at home.
Making matters more irritating for fans, the commercials between drives have aired just fine.
“Very sorry for this and rest assured we are in touch with the Big 12 and ESPN on this issue,” ASU athletic director Graham Rossini posted on X. “We have to be better for our fans and our program. I do apologize.”
ASU’s biggest star of the previous two seasons, New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo, joined the fans online to complain about the failure to properly broadcast the game.
Maybe #11 nationally ranked gets a main stream @espn I need to watch my boys

Saturday’s game was highly anticipated after ASU’s run to the College Football Playoff last year, as ASU’s home opener was sold-out for the first time since 1998. The student section at Mountain America Stadium set an attendance record at 14,280.
Many fans took to social media to air their frustrations:
