Marshawn Lynch Guest Picks on College GameDay

ESPN's 'College GameDay' made its first appearance at Cal Berkeley, featuring former Alabama coach Nick Saban and NFL legend Marshawn Lynch as the guest picker. Saban humorously teased Lynch about the infamous Super Bowl decision that led to the Seahawks' loss, stating he would have handed the ball to Lynch instead of passing. Lynch, in a spirited mood, selected Cal to upset the ranked Miami Hurricanes, while also playfully putting analyst Kirk Herbstreit in a headlock for disagreeing with him. The pre-game atmosphere was lively, highlighted by Lynch's antics, including joyriding in a golf cart and engaging with fans. Despite Saban's pick for Miami, the event showcased a vibrant college spirit and Lynch's memorable presence. The matchup was significant for Cal as they sought their first victory against a ranked opponent since 2020.
