Nick Saban Dons Penn State Nittany Lion Costume On ESPN’s College GameDay

College GameDay analyst and legendary college football coach Nick Saban donned a Nittany Lion costume while the ESPN show aired from Happy Valley.

Saban, who turned 73 Friday, received the costume as a birthday gift from the actual Nittany Lion while co-analysts and fans sang “Happy Birthday.”

Saban is in his first season on College GameDay. He retired last offseason after going 206-29 with seven National Championship wins over 17 seasons at Alabama.
