ESPN's College Game Day to Head to South Carolina, 9/27

ESPN's College GameDay Built by The Home Depot - college football's longest running and most celebrated pregame show - will make its fifth stop of the season in Columbia, S.C., for the SEC matchup between No. 13 South Carolina and Missouri on Saturday, Sept. 27. The weekly three-hour Emmy Award-winning show (Saturday 9 a.m. - noon) will set up camp at the campuses' historic Horseshoe. The game will air at 7 p.m. on ESPN and will be called by Brad Nessler, Todd Blackledge and Holly Rowe.

GameDay is hosted by Chris Fowler, along with analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and David Pollack and reporting by Samantha Ponder, Tom Rinaldi, Scott Van Pelt, George Whitfield and Gene Wojciechowski.

College GameDay Nuggets:

This is the sixth time GameDay will originate from Columbia. The Gamecocks are 2-3 in the previous five games, but won the last two (vs. Georgia and Alabama). Corso has picked against the home team in three of those five games (2-1 record).

Corso will try and open the year 5-0 in headgear picks for the first time since 2010. Week five hasn't been too kind as he is just 3-5 in his last eight week five picks, losing last year when he took an SEC road team (LSU) at Georgia.

This is the seventh time South Carolina has been involved in a GameDay location. Corso has picked against the Gamecocks four times going 3-1 in those picks. The lone loss was when South Carolina upset Alabama.

This is the sixth time Missouri is involved in a GameDay location. Corso is 3-2 when picking games involving the Tigers (1-1 when picking them, 2-1 when picking against).
