Lee Corso’s appearance on College GameDay on Saturday drew plenty of concern on social media, as the popular 87-year-old analyst struggled through sentences and repeated himself on a number of occasions.
But, don’t worry about his health, GameDay host Rece Davis says.
Appearing on the “Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” on Tuesday, Davis said he expects Corso to be at his best in a more familiar setting — at the desk with the rest of the crew — on Saturday at the Ohio State game against Notre Dame:
“He’s doing great…His mind is still razor sharp at the age of 87.” – @ReceDavis on the Legend, Lee Corso.
Meanwhile, @Stugotz790 is angling for a guest appearance on @CollegeGameDay ?

“I would encourage the people who were, perhaps, to use your word, unkind or cruel to reserve a little judgement,” Davis said. “He’s doing great. I speak to him regularly and this weekend in Columbus, I think you’ll see a much more comfortable environment and you’ll see him be able to deliver as he still does, which is remarkable. His mind is still razor-sharp at the age of 87. I should be so fortunate if I’m blessed enough to make it that far in my life.”
Corso still seems to genuinely love what he’s doing, and ESPN is showing no signs of trying to move on from the legendary analyst. We can likely expect to see him and his iconic headgear picks at least through the end of this season.
