College GameDay continued their terrifying Halloween tradition of dressing like coaches. Last year was bad enough, this year was the scariest thing all year. It was absolutely terrifying. It’s not that being coaches on Halloween can’t be funny, but it’s these masks. It’s like everyone on the ESPN set took the Hannibal Lecter route and stole the face off a guard. It’s all so unsettling.

Desmond Howard made things better by doing the Nae Nae dressed like Dabo Swinney. It made you forget the horrible faces for a second.

"Dabo" gets loose.
