'Feathers are flying!': ESPN's College GameDay ends with a live duck loose on set
Of course, Lee Corso put the Duck head on, picking Oregon to beat UCLA on the set of ESPN’s College GameDay. So, of course, he was also handed a live duck to close out the show.
The crew of the traveling pregame show probably didn’t expect what happened next, though. The Duck got loose, quickly flying away from Corso. And the rest of the panel reacted in hilarious fashion.
“We got a live duck loose on the set,” host Rece Davis said as the show wrapped. “Feathers are flying!”

We would like to direct your attention specifically to Kirk Herbstreit, sitting directly to Corso’s left:

Corso was joined in picking Oregon to win by Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and former Oregon star Sabrina Ionescu — the show’s celebrity guest picker for the week. David Pollack and Herbstreit both picked UCLA.
The 10th-ranked Ducks (5-1, 3-0 Pac-12) are hosting the ninth-ranked Bruins (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12) with sole possession of first place in the Pac-12 on the line. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. PT on FOX.
