Steve Smith, former NFL wide receiver, joined ESPN’s College GameDay” set in Utah for the weekly picks and was honored to be the “caboose” in the absence of Lee Corso.

Smith, the former Utah wide receiver, made it known from the start who he was rolling with when his Utes face off against Oregon in a pivotal Pac-12 matchup and an inside track for the College Football Playoff race.

REATED: Nov. 4 destination revealed for GameDay

Pat McAfee, though, stole the show with his outlandish way of making a prediction.

“I had no idea what to expect when I came out here to Utah,” he said. “(Oregon coach Dan) Lanning came on to this set today. He was the first-ever away-team coach to show face and face the music in front of the Utah fans, so we’re very grateful for that. The bodacious Bo Nix is certainly efficient and he throws the rock around. Their defense is phenomenal, but did you know that 29 of the last 30 home games that happen right here at the University of Utah, the Utah Utes win.

”Cam Rising said yesterday we don’t lose at home, and, today, they ain’t losing.”

McAfee was so pumped that Smith couldn’t contain himself either.
