1974 College Football Season
Regular season
ABC elevated Jackson to #1 announcer replacing Schenkel (who moved to anchor the studio show).
ABC used many active coaches (who were on off-weeks) as guest analysts. John McKay was originally scheduled to work the season opener, but Bob Devaney called the game with Jackson.
ABC added Jim Lampley and Don Tollefson for sideline interviews and features on the telecasts. This duo made its debut on the 9/7 game.
