• Fans, coaches and colleagues honored him on air, with Corso in a tuxedo and Ohio State’s Ryan Day gifting a custom “Coach Corso” helmet.
• ESPN’s send-off capped weeks of tributes that included an ESPYS salute and a one-hour retrospective featuring prominent voices from across the sport.
• His headgear tally stands at 430 selections with a 286-144 record; Ohio State has been his most frequent choice (45), and teams he backed from USC went 17-0.
• Corso’s exit followed reduced travel after a 2009 stroke and advancing age, and during his finale he predicted LSU to win the 2025 national title.
