Young joined analysts Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit to pick the game.
Who did ‘College GameDay’ pick?
Desmond Howard: “Iowa State. I’m going Cyclones.”
Nick Saban: “Cyclones. Rocco Becht, too much for them.”
Pat McAfee: “Congrats to Kirk Ferentz. You’ve become the all-time leader in wins as a coach in the Big Ten today. Watch a game-winner from Drew Stevens at the end. Iowa beats Iowa State in Ames and there’s a massive celebration.”

Trae Young: “I was hoping he went Iowa, because I went Iowa State. Shoutout my old former Norman North teammate, Charlie Kolar. I went to this same exact game a few years ago, so I’m going with Iowa State.”
Kirk Herbstreit: “I’m going with Iowa. I think Gronowski is going to bounce back from that opener against Albany and look good. This is always a close game. Maybe it comes down to a last-second field goal like it did last year. I’m going with the Hawkeyes on the road.”
