Overview

• Corso made his final appearance on Aug. 30 in Columbus, closing his 38-year run by donning Ohio State’s Brutus headgear, the same mascot choice that began the tradition in 1996.
• The farewell broadcast was GameDay’s most-watched ever, averaging 3.5 million viewers with a 5.1 million peak quarter-hour, according to ESPN.
• He finished 6-for-6 on his Week 1 selections, including Ohio State over Texas and upset calls on Florida State over Alabama, LSU over Clemson, and Miami over Notre Dame.
• Every program he played for or coached won its opener that day: Florida State, Maryland, Navy, Louisville, Indiana, and Northern Illinois.
• Rece Davis said the show will retire the headgear segment in Corso’s honor while continuing with Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, and Pat McAfee.
