Fox posts, deletes clip of Gus Johnson's incorrect field goal call
Fox removed the clip after Gus Johnson briefly called a missed field goal good during Indiana’s 19-15 loss to Ohio State, viewers noted.
- Fox College Football posted a clip of Indiana kicker Nico Radicic's 55-yard field goal attempt, but the account deleted the video shortly after announcer Gus Johnson incorrectly called the miss as good.
- The Indiana Hoosiers fell 19-15 to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, ending the defending-champion Hoosiers' 22-game winning streak amid multiple missed field goals by Radicic.
- Johnson also incorrectly called a touchdown on a fourth-down pass from quarterback Josh Hoover to Nick Marsh in the final minute, but replays confirmed Marsh was out of bounds, securing the Buckeyes' victory.
- Sports Illustrated's Jimmy Traina criticized Johnson for calling the final play a touchdown before officials signaled the result, while viewers described the broadcast experience as "whiplash-inducing."
- While Fox provided no official explanation for the deletion, observers hypothesize the incorrect call proved embarrassing for the network and Johnson, though the account retained other clips of the broadcaster.
