When Keegan-Michael Key served as PSU Homecoming Grand Marshal last year, he brought the Lions some luck.

That day, Penn State rolled Indiana in the B1G opener. It proved to be one of the highlights of the season.

On Saturday, the actor/comedian will hope to serve as a good-luck charm and witness what would be Penn State’s highlight of the post-Joe Paterno era.

Rece Davis announced that Key will be the celebrity guest picker on College GameDay from Indianapolis on Saturday:

The star of “Key and Peele” will be a part of the first GameDay site involving Penn State since 2010. Perhaps Key will also provide a little pregame motivation for the Lions, as well.

Last year, he did that on homecoming weekend:

Here’s hoping Key dresses up as Franklin for his picks on Saturday.
