Hard to believe Indiana drive started with a sack

[MNVCGUY]

Why would IU squib that kickoff?

I don't get that either. Keeps a big return but they only need a FG.

 

[btowngopher]

Honestly the throw was as impressive.

 

[Nax5]

That was pretty painful to listen to. Used to love listening to Gus' calls 6-7 years ago. Not so much now.

 

[GopherMenace]

You can tell that the ghost of James Franklin is still at Penn St with wasting that timeout there lol

 

[salzie]

Psu had guy open ....

 

[WindyCityGopher]

That’s a soul-crushing loss right there.

I still like Gus and that was bad. But funny.

I think their soul was crushed several games ago.

 

[Ewert86PC]

He does this for every good play for both teams.

Except the Gophers AFAIK.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Still feel that way? lol

Pretty much. He has become an awful announcer by trying to enthusiastically pander to both teams as a form of even-handedness.

 

[GopherVotary]

Mendoza is a winner. What a game-winning drive.

 

[USAF]

Hats off to the official who got that TD catch call correct in real time.

 

[spermophilus]

Tyler Johnson redux!!

In your last post you said he was a PSU homer and not objective, now you’re saying he’s even handed. Which is it? I agree that he’s a little much for my tastes. He was screaming all game.

He’s a better basketball guy than football guy

 

[spermophilus]

Heisman-y drive by Mendoza! Wow!

 

[salzie]

Punting is winning strategy being put to the test

 

[Gilthorp57]

How come Iowa cant have bad snaps against us?

 

[WashedGoph]

Iowa long snapper better put the fries in the bag bruh

 

[GopherVotary]

That snap had a lot of hang time.

 

[Mulligan]

I think their soul was crushed several games ago.

They lost their soul when they covered up for Sandusky's raping of young boys for all those years.

 

[Texan Gopher]

The Florida State season a few years ago and the Penn State season this year have to be two of the worst college football seasons ever for teams considered to be potential national champions.

 

[GSUsTALON]

Why would IU squib that kickoff?

Cuz they wanted some trikery. You know to tell the other team you don't know what the hell you're going to do next.

 

[Kitzmann57]

Iowa special teams are falling apart. Ok, I've see it all

 

[Gopher Mac]

As the Iowa game started I thought it would be neat to see if Iowa could knock off #8 Oregon. But after seeing Ferentz on the sideline I just can't go there. Now I hope Oregon blows them out.

Funniest possible ending is that this game ends 2-0 tbh

You're reading comprehension must be off. My original post was a question: is he a Homer for PSU or just not objective? The answers I got were neither.

Based on those answers my next inquisitive response was does he just pander to both teams in a bad attempt to be even-handed? I feel like I'm getting a yes because much of his pandering is screaming about whatever either team is doing and it is off-putting.

I'm done trying to analyze why I don't like Gus Johnson as a college football announcer. Sorry if it crossed your wires.

Minnesota Native on the call. Outstanding official.
