On Wednesday, Walker announced he had signed a 3-year USFL contract with the Generals after a record-setting three years at Georgia. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1982 as a junior and holds 10 NCAA rushing records.
The network's regular season broadcasting covers 17 Sunday afternoon games and one Friday night contest for the March 6-July 3 inaugural USFL season. ABC also has contracted to televise the July 9-10 playoffs and the July 17 championship game.
The other regional games to be televised March 6 are Chicago at Washington and Philadelphia at Denver.
