Three other games in the similar slot from previous weeks had around 300k more viewers, though those games started at 7:30pm on ESPN2 whereas WVU-TCU started at 8pm on ESPN2. Don’t know how much that 30 min difference in start time factors in viewers but I’d imagine casual viewers start watching whatever game has the most appeal at the earliest time.
