Published:
Ohio State rolled to a big win over rival Michigan on Saturday afternoon, and star RB J.K. Dobbins had a big game, running for 211 yards and 4 touchdowns.
FOX announcer Gus Johnson was gushing about Dobbins all game long, but on his final TD run, he told a very weird story about the star runner.
As you can see below, Johnson decided to tell a story about how Dobbins’ mom almost terminated the pregnancy and now calls him her “miracle baby:”

Just about everyone considered it to be a weird and way-too-personal story for Johnson to tell on national television.
Here are some of the reactions from fans:
Still trying to figure out where Gus Johnson was trying to go with that JK Dobbins story.
