Gus Johnson's first month at FX has been...blowout city

We all know and love Gus Johnson for his NCAA Tournament and NFL work with CBS. He's taken us on a magical ride to heartbreak city and back. But the most exciting man in sports broadcasting has a new gig now and the material he's been given to work with...less than elating. 

Gus moving to FOX/FX to be the voice of its college football coverage is like a really good college coordinator taking a high school head coaching job just to be the lead guy. It may seem like more exposure but Gus only has a handful of NFL jobs, no more NCAA Tournament and well, look at the series of romps he has gotten to call in his first month on FX. 

Week 1: Oklahoma 47, Tulsa 14
Week 2: Oregon 69, Nevada 20
Week 3: USC 38, Syracuse 17
Week 4: Oklahoma 38, Missouri 28
Week 5: Texas 37, Iowa State 14

Those games decided by an average of 27.2 points per game. The OU/Missou game last week was the only remotely watchable one. All hope's not completely lost, as Gus should call either the first Pac-12 or Big Ten Championship game. But that's a long way away for us Gus fans. You can't really come close to matching a play like this in a 49-point blowout.
