  • ESPN's College GameDay will air live at 9 a.m. ET on Saturday from the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman ahead of the Sooners' football game against Michigan.
  • The event follows Lee Corso's retirement last week and features Norman native Trae Young as the celebrity guest picker to join the show’s analysts in making game predictions.
  • The game will kickoff at 6:30 p.m. at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, marking the first meeting between these two programs since 1976 in front of many Sooner fans.
  • Young, a former OU All-American and National Freshman of the Year in 2017-18, led the NCAA in points and assists , and recently became the Sooners men's basketball assistant general manager after donating $1 million for the 2025-26 roster build.
  • This week’s broadcast offers ESPN a chance to measure College GameDay's viability without Corso while energizing fans as the Sooners aim to rebound from a difficult previous season.
