Brent Musburger has become synonymous with college football at its highest level during his illustrious broadcasting career.

So you can imagine the frustration among fans upon learning Musburger would be stuck calling No. 1 Mississippi State’s game against FCS foe UT Martin in Week 11, rather than one of the more appealing games on the SEC slate.

Yes, CBS claimed the two best games of the weekend for its second and final doubleheader of the season, leaving Musburger ineligible to call the Auburn-Texas A&M or Alabama-LSU games on the ESPN family of networks. But a game in November featuring an FCS school? It just doesn’t seem natural for Musburger to stoop so low in the twilight of his career.

College football experts and fans alike agreed Musburger was miscast in Saturday’s lineup. Here are a few of their opinions on the matter:

If you’re wondering, this weekend Musburger will call the showdown between Missouri and Texas A&M in College Station, a game with major SEC East implications for the Tigers and major bowl implications for the resurgent Aggies.

In analyzing the rest of the SEC broadcasts in Week 11, there was one other flub worthy of highlighting this week.

On CBS, the iconic tandem of Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson called the game of the week between Alabama and LSU on Saturday night, and for the most part their broadcast was what we’ve come to expect in recent years — a bit sloppy at times but always energetic and entertaining.

Danielson did have one head-scratching remark that shouldn’t be overlooked, however. In the fourth quarter of a tie game, LSU quarterback Anthony Jennings dove head first into the line on a sneak to pick up a new set of downs. Jennings’ appeared to be in serious pain when he tried exiting the pile, and the facemask had come detached from his helmet.

For whatever reason, Danielson seemed to think Jennings wasn’t actually injured, but instead was stalling to get a new facemask.

Take a look at the sequence for yourself:

Danielson deserves a certain level of respect at this point in his broadcasting career, but he wasn’t at his best following Jennings’ injury.

For starters, if Jennings really did just need a new facemask, he could have hopped up right away, jogged to the sidelines, borrowed a different helmet and then jogged back to the huddle without missing a play. It’s not like some equipment manager was building a new helmet from scratch, requiring a stall tactic on the field.

Second, Jennings had to sit out a play when he required the training staff to tend to him on the field, so if it was a stall tactic it would have been rendered useless. Forcing your starting quarterback to miss a play in the final minutes of your biggest game of the year just to get a new helmet is a net-loss 10 out of 10 times.

Reacting in the moment is part of a broadcasters job, but Danielson dropped the ball on that late-game call.
