It looks like ESPN’s GameDay is set for quite a show Saturday morning!
The weekly pregame show for college football is set to air from the campus of Ohio State for Week 9. It is hard to argue the site choice as No. 2 Penn State and Heisman Trophy candidate Saquon Barkley are in Columbus to take on No. 6 Ohio State.
It will be an intense matchup, and a special guest picker will join the hosts of GameDay. Host Rece Davis announced Friday evening that PGA legend Jack Nicklaus will be on hand as a guest picker for the Buckeyes.
Davis shared the news on Twitter:
Guest picker on @CollegeGameDay tomorrow: a true Buckeye legend. The great Jack Nicklaus joins us. Quite an honor for us!

Nicklaus attended OSU from 1957-61 before going on to have an incredible career as a golfer. His 73 PGA tour wins are third most all-time, and Nicklaus still holds the record for PGA major championships with 18.
