I still remember how awesome it was when he and Dan Fouts called the 2006 Rose Bowl between USC and Texas.

Keith had the GOAT broadcasting voice. Definitely, not many left that can call it how he did.
Mr "Whoa Nelly."...RIP.

If you want to know why USC, Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, and Notre Dame seem to get preferential treatment in the polls, blame Keith Jackson.

He was so fricking good at his job, he would elevate those schools to near-God status. Just hearing him say their names, their coaches' names, their mascots... it made you think that you were listening to the greatest game in football history.

Never been a better college football broadcaster.
