A university football legend is moving away from the game.

Although his career as a coach included many stops, including a season in Louisville as a chief coach, where he trained the future colleague of ESPN, Tom Jackson, and took the cardinals only their second bowl game in the history of the school, its longest section came in Indiana.
Corso trained the Hoosiers for ten seasons and took Indiana to an 8-4 record and a victory in the Holiday Bowl campaign in the 1979 campaign.
The old domain against Indiana may not be the greatest confrontation in the list of that week, but it is a case that Corso returns home one last time.
Alabama in the state of Florida
Before being coach Corso, he was a player.
And a very good one in that.
Corso was a prominent on both sides of the ball duration of his time in the state of Florida, as a defensive back and a field marshal.

Texas in the state of Ohio
While his days of play and training, in other places, Lee Corso’s legend in Game game Banden the state of Ohio.
In October or 1996, College Gameday He was in Columbus for a meeting between Penn State and Ohio State. At the end of the show, when the crew made its choices, Parade scored his when collecting a head of Brutus and putting it, to delight the fans of the buckers gathered who look live:
That was the first time Corso put on a brutus head, but certainly not the last one. According to Horrible announcement Corso has used that helmet more than any other, 45 times the duration of its strong career College Gameday.
It may not be a surprise to see that this number increases in one in its final program.
