Lee Corso predicts winner of Oregon-Washington rivalry contest

Lee Corso and College GameDay are in Seattle as Oregon and Washington meet on the gridiron for the 115th time.
The series between the Ducks and Huskies has been back and forth in recent years: both sides have split their last 6 games against each other. That’s a reversal from 2004 to 2015 when the Ducks won 12 in a row. And plenty of eyes will be on this year’s edition with both teams sitting in the top 10 of the national rankings.
Corso, of course, has long had an affinity for Oregon. So it was a little bit of a shock when he picked Washington to beat Oregon during his weekly pregame chat with Kirk Herbstreit.
Actually, in Corso’s words: not so fast, my fried.

It looks like Corso will be donning the Oregon Duck head toward the back end of the show on Saturday.
It’s the 29th time Oregon has been involved in GameDay’s featured game, with the Ducks going 17-11 in previous occurences. Ducks fans will hope that Corso’s prediction will come true and that Bo Nix and his team can stave off Michael Penix Jr. and the Huskies on Saturdya afternoon.
