Lee Corso is still recuperating from an undisclosed health issue and was not in attendance Saturday for ESPN's "College GameDay", ahead of Tennessee football's showdown vs. Georgia in Athens.
It's the second straight week Corso, 87, has not been on set, after missing last week's show in Jackson, Mississippi.
No. 1 Tennessee (8-0, 4-0 SEC) kicks off against No. 3 Georgia (8-0, 5-0) at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS, in a game that will decide the top team in the College Football Playoff rankings next week.
Twice this season, Corso has predicted Tennessee to win during his iconic headgear picks segment. Both times came during "GameDay's" visits to Knoxville, for the Florida game Sept. 24 and for the Alabama game in October.
Corso got a "hell of a scare" after being hospitalized between his appearances in Knoxville for those two games and missed two weeks on the "GameDay" set. After his brief return, he missed last week's show in Mississippi.
