Nick Saban made a hilarious comment during Week 10’s College GameDay. The GameDay crew was provided a breakfast sample from a local spot called Naked Egg Cafe in State College, PA.

Pat McAfee dove right into a breakfast sandwich, proclaiming that he is from “a sandwich town.”

Saban, however, was more hesitant, and the coach said a naughty word on the broadcast.

“What is this s–t?” asked the coach while looking at the breakfast platter.

Desmond Howard and McAfee couldn’t contain their laughter at the coach’s comment.

This is Saban’s 1st year as a member of the College GameDay crew. The legendary coach retired after leading Alabama to the College Football Playoff again in 2023. The coach has made a seamless tradition into broadcasting, with many GameDay fans enjoying the coach’s presence.

Earlier on Saturday morning, Saban was greeted by the Nittany Lion, who gave the coach a birthday present. The gift was a Nittany Lion costume, which the coach proudly put on over his suit.

The crew visited College Station for the much-anticipated top-5 matchup between Penn State and Ohio State. The Nittany Lions entered the matchup, currently airing on FOX, looking to maintain their perfect record, while the Buckeyes are seeking to avoid their 2nd conference loss.

The Buckeyes have not lost to the Nittany Lions since 2016 and have won 9 of the last 10 in the series.
