ESPN College GameDay: Kirk Herbstreit provides update on Lee Corso for Week 12

After missing the last three weeks, a College GameDay staple is returning to the set. Lee Corso is back.

Corso is making his return after a three-week absence for health-related reasons, Kirk Herbstreit announced Saturday morning. But as GameDay headed to Montana for the fierce Montana vs. Montana State rivalry, he’s braving the cold to re-join his co-hosts.

Herbstreit shared the news in a video on Twitter Saturday morning.

“I feel good,” Corso said in the video. “I’m good, and looking forward to the show. … I appreciate all the feelings everybody gave me. It was hard for me.”

Corso has been in and out over the last couple months after initially feeling “under the weather” when GameDay headed to Clemson. He subsequently didn’t make the trip to Jackson State or Georgia, either, but he felt good enough to make his return for Week 12.

College GameDay announced earlier this week it’s heading to Bozeman, Montana, for the Brawl of the Wild. It’s expected to be the coldest GameDay on record, which could make for an interesting show Saturday morning to kick off the penultimate week of the regular season.

ESPN’s College GameDay has never been shy about trying out new locations, and they’re headed to a fascinating one next weekend. On Sunday, the beloved pregame show revealed it’s heading to Bozeman, Montana to be on hand for the Montana Grizzlies at Montana State Bobcats.

It’s going to be a fascinating showdown, as the Grizzlies enter the showdown 7-3 while the Bobcats are 9-1 and an undefeated 7-0 within the Big Sky Conference.

Leading the way for Montana has been quarterback Lucas Johnson, who’s passed for 1,702 passing yards and 18 passing touchdowns to just five interceptions on the season. Meanwhile, Montana State has won behind a dual threat attack from quarterback Tommy Mellot, passing for 1,206 yards and nine touchdowns while rushing for 705 yards and seven touchdowns, as well.

It’s going to be a wild Saturday morning with Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Kirk Herbstreit and company traveling to Montana.
