Check out Lee Corso’s headgear pick for the Week 6 matchup between Tennessee and Texas A&M.

As we roll into Week 6, the GameDay crew rolls into College Station. Tennessee and Texas A&M are both ranked in the Top 25. A&M at No. 8 and the Vols at No. 9. Both teams are 5-0, but have had differernt paths to get to 5-0. Tennessee has had a lot of things go their way at the last second to stay undefeated. While A&M has rolled over everyone they have played. Another top 10 matchup and is sure to be a great way.

Both teams come in sporting defenses of the same magnitude. Tennessee allows about 360 yards per game and A&M allows about 388 yards per game. The difference is in offensive production. A&M has put up points all year long. They are averaging 521 total yards of offense per game this year. Tennessee is averaging 140 yards less.

For me, this game will come down to quarterback play. Josuha Dobbs vs Trevor Knight. Knight has more passing yards, but Dobbs has more touchdowns on the year in the air. The great thing about both QB’s is that they are duel threats. Trevor Knight has just under 400 yards rushing and six touchdowns on the ground. His longest run of the year is 62 yards as well. Dobbs has five rushing touchdowns to go with his 13 passing touchdowns. The duel threat nature of both will be the X-factor in this game. Which ever defense can contain the other QB will have the better chance to win.

Another man to watch with great duel threat abilities, Lee Corso. A great a great contaminator and a great game picker. Today marks the 20 year anniversary of Corso’s GameDay head gear picks. This has become one of the biggest traditions in college football in those 20 years. ESPN showed a video of all the great memories that Corso has had, Corso got emotional and the fans at Texas A&M broke out into a “Corso, Corso,” chant.

Now 3-2 on the year, Corso will look to continue his pick success. In GameDay games that have featured Tennessee this year, he has picked them once and picke against them once. The Vols are undefeated which makes Corso 1-1 in Tennessee picks. Will he take the Vols who haven’t lost yet, or will he take the town team and support the 12th man and the Texas A&M Aggies?

Corso went with the 12th man and picked the Aggies.

We will see if Corso can get to 4-2 on picks on the year and if the Texas A&M Aggies can finally reach 6-0 after starting 5-0 so many times.
