Lee Corso with the ultimate ‘mascot head’ fakeout — and how the GameDay crew picked OSU-PSU

By the end of ESPN College GameDay’s show Saturday, Lee Corso had his fellow hosts laughing and the Happy Valley crowd cheering. He delivered on one of GameDay’s greatest fakeouts.

Corso, known for making his game selection by putting on the appropriate mascot head, pulled out a Nittany Lion head and waited to put it on. He then tossed it aside, making the crowd think he was going with the Buckeyes, until he pulled out a second Nittany Lion head and put it on.
