Lee Corso Names Top-Five Team That Will Be ‘Lucky To Win’ On Saturday

There is a lot of anticipation surrounding Week 5 of the 2024 college football season, with most of it focused on Tuscaloosa, Al, as the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide prepares to host the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs.

ESPN's "College GameDay" is in town for the game, and just before the start of the flagship show, analyst Lee Corso made some picks. In a video posted on X by Kirk Herbstreit, Corso revealed that he thinks the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes will have a tough time beating the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday.

"Let me tell you something: Ohio State's going to be lucky to win today against Michigan State," Corso said. "That's one to take the under."

The Buckeyes are heavily favored to win by almost 24 points in the upcoming game. They have dominated their opponents, winning by 35 points or more each game. On the other hand, Michigan State enters the game with a 3-1 record, suffering a four-point loss to the Boston College Eagles last week.

Ohio State is led by a two-headed monster at running back and a true freshman at wide receiver. Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson have combined for 543 yards and nine touchdowns so far this year, with both averaging over 8.5 yards per carry. Jeremiah Smith leads the Buckeyes in receiving, with 14 catches for 281 yards and four touchdowns.

Michigan State is led by two strong running backs, Kay'ron Adams and Nate Carter, who have combined for 487 yards and two touchdowns, both averaging over 4.4 yards per carry.

The Buckeyes will play the Spartans on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on Peacock.
