Where is Lee Corso? Iconic ESPN College GameDay broadcaster misses show in Salt Lake City image

ESPN's College GameDay was in Utah on Saturday in advance of No. 8 Oregon visiting Salt Lake City to take on No. 13 Utah, but one of its most familiar faces was not.

Lee Corso missed the broadcast, reportedly due to a family matter. Corso, 88, missed multiple shows last fall with illnesses, but ESPN assured fans Corso was not sick.

Corso has not missed any shows this college football season, which has seen the traveling pre-game carnival visit Alabama, Colorado, Notre Dame and Ohio State, among others.

Next week, the show will travel to Alabama in advance of the LSU-Alabama SEC showdown.
