Before becoming the face of college football at ESPN, and the coaching career that saw him lead the programs at Louisville, Indiana and Northern Illinois, Lee Corso was known as the "Sunshine Scooter," a quarterback and cornerback at Florida State. While his impact on the sport goes well beyond his alma mater, he remains he beloved figure in Tallahassee. With the news that Corso will hang up his microphone after one final edition of College GameDay during Week 1 of the upcoming college football season, Florida State's home game against Alabama looked like a strong option to host the show.
Instead, GameDay will head to Columbus, Ohio for the weekend's biggest game, Ohio State vs. Texas. There is plenty of deep connection for Corso with this game as well, as Brutus Buckeye's head was the first he ever donned during the show's analyst picks segment, back in 1996. He's put on Brutus's head 45 times during his broadcasting career.
