If you thought Kirk Herbstreit just somewhat liked Ohio State football, think again. He’s a self-proclaimed “junkie.”

That’s due, partially, to the fact that the Buckeyes have won three straight playoff games — including two in blowout fashion. It’s been a remarkable turnaround for an Ohio State team that appeared to be on the brink of a total failure of a season.

Herbstreit, who appears on “Thursday Night Football” alongside Al Michaels for Prime Video, has appeared on “College GameDay” in addition to calling college football games on Saturdays for ESPN.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish took down the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Orange Bowl on Thursday night, with the final score settling in at 27-24. And even though he wasn't on the call for this game, Kirk Herbstreit found himself getting called out by a fan on social media.

Kirk Herbstreit and Ohio State's fan base have an interesting relationship these days. The ESPN college football announcer played collegiately at Ohio State. His dad, Jim Herbstreit, also played at the school and later coached under Woody Hayes.
