GameDay analyst did the unthinkable Saturday.
He was the last to make his pick on the game and didn’t even realize he wasn’t alone in his pick for the Tigers.
“Am I the only one who is going to say, ‘War Eagle,’” he said before he was told he wasn’t alone. “I’m going to say ‘War Eagle’ right here in Tuscaloosa. I apologize. Auburn and Hugh Freeze a slow start, but they get things going today. I like Auburn to win.”Desmond Howard also picked the Tigers to take down their Pac 12 opponent.The run game - or the run defense - is the big reason Pat McAfee is picking Cal, though.
“I think the big stat of the day is that last week Auburn gave up 5 yards a tote from UMass,” he said. “Cal rushed for 357 yards as a team. Give me the Cal Bears.”“I want to be honest,” he said. “I’ve never pulled for A-burn. They have to make that long trip out there. I think Cal’s going to get them.”Mark Heim is a reporter for The Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter.
