Thursday night’s college football action gave us plenty to talk about that made it feel like we’re in midseason already.
There was already a questionable targeting call. A weird fake punt that was booted well past the line of scrimmage.
But it wasn’t officially the start of the season … until Gus Johnson screamed!
Penn State scored a last-minute touchdown to take down Purdue 35-31, and Johnson was on the call for FOX Sports. And of course, Johnson’s voice went into the upper registers as he called, “Clifford … sprints out … lofts it uuuuuuppp … TOUCHDOWN PENN STATE! UN … BELIEVABLE!”
Everyone loved it, as they should:
What a call!
