ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso always ends the ''College Gameday'' show in outrageous fashion.

On Saturday, he accidentally added a profanity.

On set for the SMU-Houston game, Corso got tangled up with his SMU prop, a cheerleader's megaphone, prompting the veteran broadcaster to drop an F-bomb as he tried to make his pick for the game. Corso then put on the Houston mascot head — muffled a few seconds too late.

Corso later came back on air during ESPN's broadcast of the Nebraska-Michigan game to apologize.

''Earlier today on 'College Gameday' while picking the SMU-Houston game I got a bit excited and used an expletive that I shouldn't have used,'' Corso said. ''I apologize and can promise it won't happen again.''
