And given that one of them was a longtime ESPN NFL analyst, it stands to reason that you’d go with that guy.Steve Young will be the guest picker for Saturday’s GameDay, which was announced on Thursday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show.“Breaking this in the middle of our company team-building offsite wasn’t on my bingo card for this week, yet here we are,” wrote Young on X over video of the announcement.Breaking this in the middle of our company team building offsite wasn’t on my bingo card for this week yet here we are — Steve Young (@SteveYoungQB) October 15, 2026“Well, you know, Pat, in many ways BYU has been, this has been coming for a while, right?” Young said. “I think that we answered the bell when we joined the Big 12. We’ve been wanting to get into the mix with the Big Four for a long time. And we’ve been kind of punching above our weight, trying to do all the things that the great Austin Collie and others… I know you love him.“I think BYU’s been always been around. But now, joining the Big 12, we’re like, we want to be in the thick of it. Just from everyone involved in BYU, the community, they want to be competitive; they want to be in the mix; we want to be a national champion. So I think that you’re going to see this weekend when you come out a school that has grown into some shoes that I think they’re ready to take Notre Dame on. They’re ready to do this. And you’re going to see that the school’s ready as well.”Before his Hall of Fame NFL career, Young was a star quarterback at BYU. In his senior season, he led the nation in passing yards (3,902), passing touchdowns (33), and passer rating.
