ESPN Reporter Molly McGrath Trending Before Auburn-Oklahoma Game

Molly McGrath will be on the sideline at Memorial Stadium this Saturday to cover what should be an epic showdown between No. 22 Auburn and No. 11 Oklahoma.

Both Auburn and Oklahoma are 3-0 heading into this contest in large part because of their quarterbacks. Jackson Arnold has been very productive for the Tigers, racking up 501 passing yards, 192 rushing yards and eight total touchdowns. John Mateer, meanwhile, has become a Heisman Trophy candidate for the Sooners. He has 944 passing yards, 161 rushing yards and nine total touchdowns.

The weather conditions for this SEC matchup are about as perfect as they get in mid-September.

McGrath, however, let everyone know that she underestimated the Oklahoma heat this week.

"Severely underestimated the heat in Oklahoma, so now I'm buying my gameday outfit at Kohls," McGrath wrote on her Instagram Story.

McGrath joined ESPN in 2016 after spending time with Fox Sports, Comcast SportsNet New England and WHDH-TV. It didn't take long for her to become one of the top sideline reporters for the Worldwide Leader.

During the 2024 college football season, McGrath closely covered Notre Dame's run to the national championship game.

There's no doubt McGrath will be heavily featured during the College Football Playoff later this year.
