Corso’s Car a Casualty of Lightning
The biggest casualty of the five weekend “classic” games appears to be Lee Corso’s rental car, which was struck by lightning Sunday night during violent thunderstorms that forced postponement of the BCA Classic--Georgia Tech at No. 11 Virginia Tech.
ESPN aired video of a red car being hit by a bolt of lightning in the parking lot at the north end of Lane Stadium. Corso, ESPN GameDay’s analyst, was not certain the car was his until he left the stadium.
