### Livvy Dunne Takes a Jab at Nick Saban During College GameDay Picks
During ESPN's College GameDay, star athlete Livvy Dunne made waves with her bold game pick and a pointed comment aimed at Nick Saban. As she predicted Vanderbilt would triumph over South Carolina, she took a moment to reference Saban's past remarks about Vanderbilt's home turf. "Someone once said that Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC," Dunne remarked, alluding to Saban. "But not today. I'm going with Vanderbilt."
Dunne, along with Paul Skenes, was featured as a guest picker for the show which broadcast from Baton Rouge ahead of the LSU versus Alabama game. Dunne, an All-American gymnast, has recently led her team to a national championship and decided to continue her journey with the Tigers for another season.
Paul Skenes, who joined Dunne on the set, is also garnering attention after an impressive rookie season with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The talented pitcher was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. Together, Dunne and Skenes are celebrated as one of the most influential power couples in the sports world, and their insights were a highlight of the College GameDay coverage.
The night's game between LSU and Alabama also held special significance for Nick Saban. The Alabama head coach has a storied history with LSU, having secured a national championship with the Tigers before moving to the NFL for a stint with the Miami Dolphins. His subsequent return to college football with Alabama cemented his legendary status in the sport.
