Steve Young correctly predicted all 10 games on College GameDay appearance
Published:
Over its many years of production, ESPN’s College Gameday has seen its plethora of celebrity guest pickers showcase great football acumen…or quite the opposite.
But on Saturday, with the traveling show visiting Provo, Utah, for BYU’s date with Notre Dame, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young showed off his knowledge of the sport by going a perfect 10-for-10 in his selections. The fact that he did so on a day in which so much chaos occurred makes the feat even more impressive.
Young of course selected the hometown Cougars, but he also opted to go with Holy War rivals Utah and Houston from the Big 12.
He additionally selected UCLA, Michigan and Ohio State as winners in the Big Ten, while correctly tabbing Ole Miss, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss as victors from the SEC.
Lo and behold, every single one of Young’s pick came to fruition, making him one of College Gameday’s most memorable guests with a 10-0 mark that he’ll be sure to talk about for years to come.
And with the show having announced Sunday that it will be visiting nearby Salt Lake City for Utah’s home clash with Houston next week, BYU’s arch rivals will now be pressured to field a guest picker that can produce similar results.
