BATON ROUGE, La. — In a first for Louisiana State University, Saturday's LSU-Troy football game will be broadcast in the native language of the Navajo Nation.
Cuyler Frank and Leandro Jodie, both Navajos, will broadcast the game on New Mexico radio stations KGAK and KNDN. The broadcast also will be streamed live on www.lsusports.net.
Frank broadcasts New Mexico State University football and basketball games in Navajo to the state's more than 300,000 members of the Navajo Nation.
LSU says Chancellor Michael Martin, who was formerly president of New Mexico State, invited Frank and Jodie to broadcast the game.
