Greg McElroy had an unfortunate slip of the tongue during his College Football Playoff broadcast Thursday night.

McElroy was the color commentator for the Sugar Bowl between Ole Miss and Georgia, which saw Ole Miss kick a game-winning field goal in the final seconds.

Long before that, though, McElroy tried to give kudos to Rebels running back Kewan Lacy, but called him by the wrong name.

"Love the way Kyren Lacy runs," McElroy said before correcting himself.

Kyren Lacy was a former LSU wide receiver who died by suicide last year amid a legal battle stemming from a crash that killed a 78-year-old man in December 2024. He was accused of driving recklessly — speeding and passing in a no-passing zone — when a motorist swerved to avoid Lacy and crashed into another vehicle.

Police said "numerous witnesses" told responding officers that Kyren Lacy’s driving caused the crash. Lacy had been charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death, and reckless operation of a vehicle.

Kyren Lacy transferred to LSU in 2022. He had his best season in 2024, when he recorded 58 catches for 866 yards and nine touchdowns and likely would have been an NFL Draft pick.

Kewan Lacy helped Ole Miss to the College Football Playoff semifinal, running for 93 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries.

The Rebels will face No. 10 Miami in the semifinal, with the winner advancing to play No. 1 Indiana or No. 5 Oregon.

A woman's death in Colorado is suspected to have been caused by a mountain lion attack, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, which notes that the last fatal mountain lion attack in the state occurred in 1999.

"Around 12:15 this afternoon, hikers on the Crosier Mountain trail in Larimer County observed a mountain lion near a person lying on the ground from about 100 yards away," a Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesperson explained during a news conference on Thursday. 

The hikers then scared the mountain lion off by tossing rocks at it, she said.

"One of the witnesses is a physician," but "did not find a pulse," she noted, adding that the incident is being investigated as a suspected deadly mountain lion attack.

A search effort yielded the discovery of two mountain lions which were both killed.

A Colorado Parks and Wildlife press release notes, "CPW officers, Larimer County Sheriff deputies, Estes Park police and Glen Haven Area Volunteer firefighters responded to the area to launch an extensive search for any mountain lions. A CPW biologist who was conducting aerial deer surveys in the county was able to assist in spotting and personnel transportation. Houndsmen assisted by using dogs to track the scent of lions."

"Officers located one lion at the scene, shot the animal and it ran from the area. Officers tracked the mountain lion and it was euthanized. A short time later, a second mountain lion was found nearby and euthanized. It is unknown if one or multiple animals were involved in the suspected attack. According to CPW policies, wildlife involved in attacks on humans must be euthanized to ensure public safety," the release explains.
