Lee Corso still appears on College GameDay every week, three decades after he helped launch the show, but for the 82-year-old analyst, it’s not quite as easy as it used to be.

We learned from the Associated Press in August that the GameDay crew has learned to help Corso on and off the air, eight years after he suffered a severe stroke, and a Washington Post profile published this weekend lends some further insight. Per the Post, he types up a script for each GameDay show with help from an assistant. That allows him to find the right words and remain focused in his commentary.

Lee Richard Corso is an American sports broadcaster and football analyst for ESPN. After college, he became the quarterback’s coach at Maryland.

He has health issues, but he is overcoming all the challenges he faces regarding his health. He has been featured in ESPN’s College GameDay program since 1987.

Where is Lee Corso on Gameday?

The Saturday show is in Athens for the Kentucky Georgia showdown. However, when he was caught up with Kirk Herbstreit, he disclosed what he would pick.

Corso took the Bulldogs, and the celebrity picker was Jeff Foxworthy. Mark Cuban, the celebrity guest, also submitted the Longhorns as his choice to take the top 25 matchups.

 

 

So before the College GameDay staring, it was revealed already. Corsa said Georgia could win though Kentucky has a chance for a while. 

This season for the third time, he put on the Hairy Dawg head. To open the 2021 season, he picked the Dawgs to beat Clemson. 

An opponent of Georgia was averaging 5.5 points per game against Georgia, with 66.5 yards rushing and 137 yards passing. Oddsmakers have Georgia as a 21.5 point over wildcats.

He agreed with the Oddsmakers, for he picked Georgia, leaving the game on Saturday, the only unbeaten team in the SEC.

Know About Lee Corso’s Stroke and Health Update

On May 16, 2009, Corso suffered from a stroke that led him to have partial paralysis. He required long rehabilitation to recover. He was in intensive care for the first three days.

He was hospitalized for a week after being removed from the Intensive Care Unit. It didn’t, however, stop him from hosting the 2019 season of ESPN College GameDay.

The paralysis had an impact on his speech. For almost a month, he was not able to speak. Storke has badly slowed his cognitive function. Because of the side effects, he had to work harder.
