Announcer Gus Johnson used Clever Reference to make a viral call at Penn State-UCLA

Fox Sports play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson never misses an opportunity to bring his own unique personality to a call during a broadcast. Whether it's coming up with clever nicknames for players or enthusiastically raising his voice during a call, Johnson just knows how to bring the energy to TV.

And he was there again when Fox Sports broadcast the game between the Penn State Nittany Lions and the UCLA Bruins at Beaver Stadium on Saturday.

On a third down play in the first quarter, Bruins quarterback Justyn Martin completed a pass to running back TJ Harden, who was promptly tackled from behind by Penn State linebacker Tony Rojas, leading to a memorable call by Johnson.

“Tony Rojas! Football is life!” Johnson shouted in a clever reference to the sports comedy sitcom Ted Lassowhose fictional character Danny Rojas frequently says the phrase “Futbol is life!”

The real Rojas was ever-present on Saturday as he totaled a team-high eight tackles in the Nittany Lions' 27-11 win. And was the subject of one of Johnson's best calls of the season.
