Fox Sports College Football’s lead play-by-play voice Gus Johnson has called plenty of Michigan games this season, including their 45-23 victory over Ohio State on Saturday.

Johnson has seen J.J. McCarthy take the starting job this season and improve as the season has progressed. For Johnson, he sees a player in McCarthy who’s enthusiastic and fearless.

“That kid, what the word for it? He’s just positive, he’s got incredible positive energy,” Johnson told WXYZ’s Brad Galli. “He’s always got a smile on his face, he’s got a bounce in his step. It’s just so refreshing to see a kid — that he’s not afraid.
