Oklahoma was making Nebraska look sick in the first half Saturday in Lincoln. In the FOX broadcast booth, Gus Johnson was not feeling well and had to step away for the rest of the game.
When the broadcast came back for the second-half kickoff Joel Klatt told the audience the beloved Johnson was sick and would not be able to handle his duties for the final 30 minutes.
Rest up Gus 🙏

Klatt took over the play-by-play and soon after the third quarter began, Brady Quinn had hustled up from his position on the field as part of FOX’s “studio” panel and joined Klatt in providing analysis.
Klatt said Johnson was “doing well” but was unable to continue with play-by-play on what was becoming a Sooner rout.
FOX had a pair of quarterbacks on the call as Quinn played at Notre Dame and Klatt took snaps at Colorado in his college career.
Later in the third quarter, Urban Meyer joined the QBs in the booth.
