Without ever giving the appearance of trying to, former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit has become—along with broadcast partner Chris Fowler—the face of 21st-century college football. His opinions on the state of the game make headlines; it is his voice in the heads of daydreaming youngsters across the nation.
When EA Sports resurrected the College Football video-game franchise two years ago, it seemed natural that Herbstreit would return. However, according to a Monday evening report from Pete Nakos of On3, Herbstreit will not be a part of the game’s commentary team this year.
