Legendary former coach Nick Saban was surprised with the news of his induction to the College Football Hall of Fame on Friday. The announcement came during Saban's appearance on the ESPN pregame show leading up to the Cotton Bowl College Football Playoff semifinal between Texas and Ohio State.

As the show wrapped up, the crew went around the desk as they always do to make their game picks. Lee Corso, known for his legendary headgear reveals, stepped onto the set dressed as a leprechaun alongside Notre Dame’s mascot to announce his pick. He didn't have to say much, as the viewers knew who he was riding with based on the outfit.
