College GameDay is making its fifth visit to the University of Georgia, originating from Sanford Stadium ahead of the top-10 matchup between No. 4 Georgia and No. 7 Auburn (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). The three-hour traveling pregame show (9 a.m. – noon) will air on ESPN and ESPNU as it does each Saturday throughout the season.
The 11-time Emmy Award-winning show is hosted by Rece Davis, who is joined on-site by Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, College Football Hall of Famer and former Georgia All-American David Pollack and Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica, with Lee Corso from his home in Orlando. Additional contributors throughout the season include Jen Lada, Pat McAfee, Tom Rinaldi, three-time All-SEC volleyball player and Georgia alum Maria Taylor and Gene Wojciechowski.
Lee Corso will be contributing remotely, but that doesn’t stop him from making a headgear selection. ESPN’s Anna Negron shared some Corso facts and stats from The Bear.
