College GameDay is a Saturday staple.
Today, host Rece Davis and analysts Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit converged upon the Texas State Fair where the annual OU–Texas game was set to take centerstage.
Before all of that got underway, the College GameDay crew welcomed guest picker and former Oklahoma great quarterback Baker Mayfield to the set to share their thoughts on all of the big games across college football.
Iowa (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) welcomes in Purdue (2-3, 1-1 Big Ten) for a Week 6 Big Ten showdown. It’s a pair of teams that picked up victories last week.
Iowa took care of business at home, topping Michigan State, 26-16. It featured a scintillating 70-yard punt return touchdown from star defensive back Cooper DeJean to put the Hawkeyes over the top.
Meanwhile, Purdue bounced back from a 38-17 loss against Wisconsin with a rout of Illinois, winning 44-19 over the Illini.
Host Rece Davis set the stage for the Iowa-Purdue picks with this.
“Jeff Brohm’s old team, Purdue, seemingly finding itself in its first year under Ryan Walters, the former Illinois defensive coordinator. Starting to play better. Iowa, though Cade McNamara out for the season, Hawkeyes still a 2.5-point favorite at home. Who wins the game?” Davis said.
What does the crew think heading into this afternoon’s contest between Iowa and Purdue? Who is everyone picking?
