Fox Sports announcer Gus Johnson shared Ohio State star running back J.K. Dobbins' story during the biggest rivalry in college sports Saturday -- when No. 1 OSU won 56-27 over Michigan.
After the record-breaking running back scored his fourth touchdown against the Wolverines in Ann Arbor and finished with a career-high 211 yards rushing, the announcer told Fox's record audience tuning into the No. 2 most-watched game of the season about the star running back's story, which pro-life group Live Action celebrated online.

“J.K. Dobbins’ mom, Mya, became pregnant when she was 18 years old,” Johnson explained. “She went to the doctor because she was thinking about aborting the baby, but changed her mind.”
He added: “That baby turned out to be that young man, J.K. Dobbins, who she calls her ‘miracle baby.’”

"All Glory to God," Dobbins said.
