ESPN College GameDay icon Lee Corso dealing with health issue ahead of Saturday's college football show
Lee Corso had hoped to be back in the chair for ESPN College GameDay this weekend, but the long-time analyst will miss the show again as he continues to deal with a recent health issue.
"Lee Corso is still recuperating, [we] hope that he's continuing to recover and hope that he'll be back with us really soon," host Rece Davis said on Saturday.
GameDay is in Austin this weekend ahead of the TCU vs. Texas matchup that will help decide first place in the Big 12 standings.
Corso, 87, has missed four other editions of College GameDay this season, first on Oct. 1 in Clemson when he woke up feeling unwell, and then again for the Kansas trip the following weekend.
Corso also missed the show's visit to Jackson State and last weekend's clash between Georgia and Tennessee, when GameDay was in Athens.
A featured analyst on the GameDay program since its inception in 1987, Corso suffered a stroke in 2009, suffering partial paralysis, and requiring three days of intensive care followed by a week's stay in the hospital.
The stroke impacted Corso's speech, as he was unable to talk for a month after the incident. Since returning to the air, he has been scripting his appearances on the program.
