All but one member of ESPN\u2019s \u201cCollege GameDay\u201d broadcast predicted LSU to beat visiting Alabama.<\/p>\n
The coach of national championship teams at both schools said he appreciated a warm welcome Saturday morning to Baton Rouge, but that he couldn\u2019t pick against all the Crimson Tide players he helped recruit to Tuscaloosa, Ala.<\/p>\n
But Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso and the celebrity guest-picker duo of Olivia \u201cLivvy\u201d Dunne and Paul Skenes all projected the home Tigers to win the teams\u2019 pivotal SEC showdown. <\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, a night game in Death Valley?\u201d said Dunne, a member of the school\u2019s national champion gymnastics program. \u201cThere\u2019s only one right answer, and it\u2019s LSU.\u201d<\/p>\n
Howard said he spoke with 2023 Heisman quarterback Jayden Daniels, who said the Tigers\u2019 2022 win against Alabama was his favorite football game. <\/p>\n
McAfee led the packed Quad into renditions of \u201cNeck\u201d and \u201cCallin\u2019 Baton Rouge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Corso asked for his favorite song to be cued up and first revealed, \u201cSweet Home Alabama,\u201d before halting it, saying he expects LSU to win its 15th straight game in Tiger Stadium and then signaling for the school fight song. <\/p>\n
LSU vs. Alabama is once again tied for the most frequently featured matchup for the popular ESPN show. <\/p>\n
The broadcast returned to Baton Rouge this weekend for the first time since 2019, though the Tigers have been included as the road team in several GameDay matchups in that span, including in Tuscaloosa last year.<\/p>\n
LSU is 22-14 all-time in \u201cCollege GameDay\u201d matchups and 3-8 against Alabama.\u00a0<\/p>\n
