Lee Corso: Former Texas QB Garrett Gilbert will likely get 'better coaching' at SMU
Lee Corso , Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, the crew from ESPN's College GameDay, served as hosts of the Doak Walker Award banquet yet again and didn't disappoint in delivering candid, wide-ranging opinions on college football.
On Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert's transferring to SMU, Corso said Gilbert will get "probably better coaching" under SMU coach June Jones, to loud applause -- and a little shock in the ballroom.
On Texas A&M's upcoming move to the SEC: "There's not going to be a lot of kissing," Corso cracked, referring to the Aggies tradition of swapping kisses after A&M scores. "Get a good-lookin' girl for nonconference games."
Fowler originally said he was wary of discussing TCU's recent scandal, which included the arrest of four football players in a large-scale sting for selling drugs. Drugs, Fowler said, were probably an issue on campuses everywhere. But Herbstreit didn't let it end there.
"Using and trafficking, I think," he said, "are different."
References were also made to Corso's infamous on-air moment last season, which occurred at the end of a GameDay broadcast featuring SMU's game at Houston. Corso uttered an expletive at the end of the broadcast.
"The show went well," Fowler deadpanned.
