The crew has been managing without the legendary 89-year-old Lee Corso for the past two weeks due to health issues. However, on Friday, Kirk Herbstreit provided an important update on Corso's status for Week 8 in front of a large crowd outside a Raising Cane's in Austin.

Longtime NFL analyst and expert Lee Corso was back on ESPN's "College GameDay" on October 19 and made a bold prediction.

Corso made his triumphant return in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, to the delight of many college football fans. Before the show went live, he gave a heartbreaking update about the health status of one of his family members in a video posted by fellow “College GameDay” host Kirk Herbstreit on X.

Fans were concerned after Lee Corso missed College GameDay last week, and his status got another update ahead of Oregon-Ohio State.

After a two-week hiatus, Lee Corso made a triumphant return to ESPN's College GameDay on Saturday in Austin, Texas and it was such a welcomed sight ahead of one of the biggest games of the season — for multiple reasons.

Kirk Herbstreit announced Thursday on “The Pat McAfee Show” that PGA Tour golfer Scottie Scheffler will be ESPN’s “College GameDay” celebrity picker on Saturday from Austin, Texas, ahead of the No. 1 Longhorns’ game with No. 5 Georgia. Scheffler played golf at Texas before turning pro in 2018.

If you had to choose two mascots synonymous with Lee Corso on ESPN’s College GameDay, the Oregon Duck and Ohio State’s Brutus Buckeye would be the obvious picks. Corso absolutely loves both of them so dearly, he could consider them personal friends and no one would think twice about it. Which is what made Saturday so bittersweet.
