Rece Davis reveals ESPN's College GameDay's Week 1 location

Not long into Saturday’s Week 0 broadcast of ESPN’s College GameDay from Dublin, Ireland, Rece Davis revealed the popular traveling pregame show is headed to College Station next week for a Week 1 matchup between No. 20 Texas A&M and No. 7 Notre Dame.

“College GameDay will be at College Station next week,” he declared Saturday.

GameDay’s Lee Corso was missing from Saturday’s debut in Dublin, Ireland. Will he be on the panel in College Station?

The game will be a reunion of sorts for new Aggies coach Mike Elko and his former quarterback Riley Leonard, who he coached at Duke a year ago.

“Riley Leonard brings a lot of confidence to the offense,” Desmond Howard said of the Irish. “He has played in really big games.”
