Most Obscure Mascots In College Football (1:07)

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban was in the Halloween spirit this Saturday for College GameDay.

Saban, an analyst on College GameDay, dressed up as the Nittany Lions mascot for College GameDay since the show is in State College for Saturday’s Penn State-Ohio State game.

Saban then participated in the “We are, Penn State” chant, which really revved up the crowd.

This is a massive game for both schools since they’re trying to win the Big Ten and make the College Football Playoff. Penn State is a perfect 7-0 and is coming off a 28-13 win over Wisconsin last week.

Meanwhile, Ohio State is 6-1 and is coming off a 21-17 win over Nebraska last Saturday. It was a close game throughout, but OSU got the win thanks to a game-sealing interception late in the fourth quarter.

The Buckeyes have won seven straight over the Nittany Lions and haven’t lost to them since 2016 in State College. The Nittany Lions are looking for a big signature win over their biggest rival since they have also lost 11 of their last 12 against the Buckeyes.

Quarterback Drew Allar will be healthy for the Nittany Lions after getting a bit banged up against the Badgers last week.

Time will tell on who Saban and the rest of the GameDay crew pick to win this matchup.

Kickoff will be at Noon ET on FOX.
