Sets 1999 Schedule By George Stahl NEW YORK (AQB)--CBS Sports begins its fourth straight year of college football coverage with an impressive doubleheader Sept. 18 of Penn State at Miami at 3:30 p.m. and then regional coverage of either 1998 National Champion Tennessee at Florida or Michigan at Syracuse at 8 p.m. The network's 12-week regular-season schedule features home games of the Southeastern and Big East Conferences, as well as the 100th Army-Navy game on Dec. 4. The 66th annual Sun Bowl, involving teams from the Big Ten and Pac-10, concludes CBS' schedule on New Year's Eve. Sean McDonough returns as lead play-by-play announcer; however, he is matched this year with Todd Blackledge, who joins CBS from ABC where he was a studio analyst since 1996. Blackledge replaces Terry Donahue, who left to be personnel director for the San Francisco 49ers. Also new to CBS' college football team is former Oklahoma University running back Spencer Tillman, who joins Tim Brando on the network's college football studio show, College Football Today, which will air at least seven half-hour shows this year. Tillman replaces Craig James, now part of CBS' NFL studio show, The NFL Today, and Lou Holtz, now coach at South Carolina.
