The ESPN GameDay crew did not put much respect on America’s Greatest Homecoming. Texas is a road favorite over a higher-ranked team for the first time since the 1970s, according to Rece Davis. The majority of the crew picked the Longhorns to make good on that piece of trivia.
Desmond Howard was the only panelist to pick the Pokes. He also has OSU as his super dog. But the rest of the crew showed a preference for the burnt shade of orange.
Pat McAfee pointed to Quinn Ewers and Bijan Robinson as keys to the Longhorns getting the big win.
