A lot of concern flowed in for Lee Corso on social media during the College GameDay Week 0 broadcast. When the network would go to him for commentary, he appeared to struggle a couple of times on the air. GameDay host Rece Davis said that those expressing concern will see Corso “deliver” this weekend.
Appearing on the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz podcast, Davis answered a question about Corso’s struggles.
“I would encourage people who were perhaps, to use your word ‘unkind’ or ‘cruel’, to reserve a little judgment,” said Davis. “He’s doing great”.
Davis also made mention that this weekend will be differently, partly because instead of being beamed in remotely like was the case in Week 0, the show will be on location this week.
“This weekend in Columbus (OH) I think you’ll see a much more comfortable environment and you’ll see him be able to deliver as he still does, which is remarkable,” Davis said. “His mind is razor sharp at the age of 87 and I should be so fortunate if I am blessed to make it that far in my life”.
