You can always count on Fox Sports broadcaster Gus Johnson to nail calling a big moment, and he’s already got one fantastic finish in the books this season.
During Minnesota’s wild finish against Nebraska on Thursday night that featured a Catch of the Year candidate, Johnson channeled all of his emotion into Golden Gophers kicker Dragan Kesich hitting the game winner for Minnesota as time expired.
The broadcaster sounded like his voice was breaking up a bit in excitement as the kick went through the uprights.
It’s the kind of jubilant call that makes Johnson one of the most reliable in the business, and he just made this moment so much cooler with his commentary.

Seriously, this call just makes you want to run through the screen and go celebrate with the Minnesota players for their remarkable comeback victory.
College football might just now be getting back into the swing of things, but Johnson is already in fine form with a fantastic call like this.
