ESPN’s “College GameDay” returns for another week of the 2023 college football season, traveling to Seattle for the top-10 showdown between border rivals No. 8 Oregon and No. 7 Washington on Saturday, Oct. 14. The show will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial), SlingTV (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

Host Rece Davis will be joined at the desk by GameDay analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Pat McAfee with college football insider Pete Thamel, reporters Jen Lada and Jess Sims and college football betting analyst ‘Stanford Steve’ Coughlin.

Guest Picker

Actor, comedian and host Joel McHale makes his return to the GameDay desk as this week’s guest picker. The Washington alum and former Huskies walk-on tight end was also the guest picker at UW in 2020 and 2016.

Show Highlights

• Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer will join the set on Saturday. Special guests Cedric the Entertainer and Anthony Anderson will join for a special edition of the ‘You Had One Job’ segment joining Sims and Coughlin.
• GameDay will also offer an exclusive look behind the scenes at Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell’s Thursday night team speech to his Badgers’ squad.
• Pat McAfee’s Kicking Contest – In its fifth week, GameDay will offer an exclusive contest during the live show, Pat McAfee’s Kicking Contest. One fan will be chosen from the ‘pit’ onsite with the opportunity to attempt a 33-yard field goal. If the contestant successfully completes the kick, he/she will be awarded $60,000 from McAfee. Full details including official rules can be found here.

Features

• The Legacy of Tyler Trent – It’s been five years since Purdue superfan Tyler Trent watched his beloved Boilermakers defeat then No. 2 Ohio State. As Purdue prepares to host the Buckeyes for the first time since that magical night, Trent’s legacy lingers – outside the stadium, in the stands and on the sideline. Jen Lada
• Pumping Up the Duck – The Oregon-Washington game will feature two of the highest scoring offenses in college football. Preparation will be the key to success on the field for the players – and for the Oregon Duck, whose progressive pushups after each Oregon score have added up to record numbers so far this season. GameDay’s own Jess Sims was called in to train the Duck in preparation for the potential pushup bonanza.
• Washington’s Top Dog – After four different season-ending injuries, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has found a new home in Seattle. The Heisman hopeful sits with Desmond Howard to discuss the tough times at Indiana, how he ended up a Huskie, Washington’s hot start to the season, and some of his favorite plays on film.
• A History of Hate – Most people east of the Rockies don’t understand exactly how heated the Oregon-Washington rivalry is. From Rose Bowl politics to flinging dog poo, Ryan McGee offers a crash course on the Cascade Clash.
