It’s going to be a very special edition of the show with legendary former coach and longtime GameDay analyst Lee Corso stepping away after one final broadcast and headgear pick. Corso will be joined by Kirk Herbstreit, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee, Desmond Howard, and Nick Saban in what promises to be one of the most emotional installments in the program’s history.

Whether Corso picks the Longhorns or the Buckeyes remains to be seen, but choosing between two legendary brands in his final broadcast is an appropriate way to cap off an impressive career.
