Fun Facts About GameDay

  • This marks the 300th GameDay road show. Notre Dame hosted the first one on November 13, 1993.
  • Temple is the 66th different school to host the show with the previous 65 going 40-25 in their debut home game.
  • Temple is the 82nd different team to be represented at a GameDay site game.
  • This is only the second GameDay road show on Halloween. In 2009, the show was in Eugene on Halloween for the Ducks 47-20 win over USC.
  • This is just the second time the show has been to Philadelphia (November 2002 for Harvard/Penn game at Franklin Field).
  • Corso is just 2-6 in headgear picks this year and a loss would mean the first time he has had two separate three-game losing streaks in the first nine weeks of the season. 2002 was the only other time Corso was 2-6 or worse through eight headgear picks. And that is also the only time he has been 2-7 or worse through nine headgear (was 1-8 in 2002).
