Lee Corso makes his final ESPN GameDay picks including Notre Dame at Miami

Legendary college football analyst Lee Corso makes his final picks on ESPN’s GameDay, and makes a surprising selection for Notre Dame.

It was a bitter sweet ESPN College GameDay on Saturday morning, as we bid farewell to the legend, Lee Corso.

The former head coach is calling it a career, this was his last time on the set to make picks for games, which included Notre Dame’s contest against Miami. They gave him a heartfelt goodbye, in a video montage of him selecting headgear, which has been his calling for the last 29 years. It all was full circle for him, as he started by picking an Ohio State game, and will finish with the same team.

Find out below who Corso, along with Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, and Kirk Herbstreit believe will win their games this weekend.
