The Kirk Herbstreit Challenge, which has been held in Ohio for the past three years, expanded this year to include a series of competitions in Texas.
Four games will be Fawcett Stadium, seven games will be held at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, home of the Bengals, and four games will be held at Texas Stadium in Irving.
