Eminem is one of the greatest rappers ever, to be sure.
But when his career began in the 1990s, I don’t know if anyone thought he’d be so ubiquitous that we’d hear some of his lyrics just casually (and dramatically!) rattled off on college football broadcasts.
Yet, here we are. It’s 2023 and Gus Johnson is out here just giving us the lyrics to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” two decades after it was released. It’s a pretty wild world we’re living in.
Freshman quarterback Miller Moss debuted as USC’s starter in the DirecTV Holiday Bowl. He threw for six touchdowns, which is a record for the program.
His performance had Gus Johnson hyped enough to do this:

“Just looking at Miller Moss and what he’s done, I feel like I’m listening to Eminem. You only get one shot — do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime. First career start. Six touchdown passes.”
That was weird…but oddly spot on. Shoutout to Gus for bringing a little bit of hip-hop to the broadcast.
