Prolific play-by-play man Jason Benetti is set to replace the late Dan Hicks for Saturday's matchup between No. 3 Notre Dame and Boston College.
Hicks passed away this week at the age of 64 from an "acute illness."
Benetti has called college football for Fox and is the Detroit Tigers play-by-play man -- he had previously had the same role with the Chicago White Sox. He is also the lead play-by-play man for NBC's Sunday Night Baseball, and he has called college basketball and NFL and NBA games as well.
It's unclear if Benetti will replace Hicks for the other remaining Notre Dame broadcast on NBC. Nor is it clear who will replace Hicks long term.
