Football Southern Arkansas @ SE Oklahoma State University

year coach Smith and his staff do a great job on the defensive side of the ball and excited to see what they can do early on the ball security and the hopefully getting explosive plays and then taking it away and not giving up explosive plays or just being in the Plus on both those is going to be ideal of course you opened up with a team that has had pretty decent success in this conference over the long Hall very successful last year Southern Arkansas talk about the challenge that they bring yeah you know they they'll have a different quarterback but one that does have some game experience um from from the looks of it uh they're they're a big and physical team and and got a lot of really good players uh it'll be it'll be a challenge but it is each week in this and I talk to our guys just about the process and getting in position to play our best football and we're the opponent each day we wake up we got to try to be our best and that's that's easy to say but sometimes it's difficult to do with a whole lot of life going on and you're 18 and you're in college or 20 and there's a lot going on so we're just trying to focus in on one day at a time and and play our best football on Saturday regardless of the opponent how how important is that from your standpoint of the one game at a time philosophy because it's very easy to maybe look past someone or or something like that yeah you know I've never been in a position or thought that it was a good idea to look past anything and this conference will be a great example this year at some point in some time hopefully it's not us but you know if you get to looking past anything you do want to have the end in mind and have some goals but you can't neglect the small Minor Details that get you in position to win each week and these coaches and these players in this league do a tremendous job so if you're not if you're not geared up and ready to go and focused in on the now you're going to be you're going to be in trouble again talking with Coach Bo adury here in our First United Bank pregame show Coach as always appreciate and look forward to doing it throughout the year yes sir thank you of course

since we did this uh what did you learn year one playing at South Eastern what did you like about it I loved everything I didn't just like anything I loved everything but uh no it was it was a great experience for sure getting my getting my feet under the getting my feet wet in the field and everything it was it wasy given the fact that you went you know elsewhere out of high school and then limited action there how much do you put on you know being able to get on the field and actually play the game I mean it feels good of course feeling valued and all that and I feel like it's just it's an example of your preparation and having such great coaches and teammates and everything out here has just been amazing so yeah I've enjoyed it we had a little bit of a breakout year last year All Conference honors this year though a little bit different at least on the offensive line front what's it looked like for you right now that offensive line how do you feel they're jelling from the running back room perspective uh as a running back room we talked about this every day and we feel like our offensive line even just from Spring to now the steps that they've made is insane like they they've gotten a lot bigger a lot stronger a lot faster coach green did a great job with them and I think they're ready to roll I think they look good so what are some of your individual goals for this season and what are your team goals uh I'll start with Team goals I feel like that's more important for our team but uh team goal we just want to go out there every single game and Give It All We Have I feel like we have the what would I say I feel like we have the explosiveness the talent all around the board to have a great season but it's all about putting it together and I don't want to put like a win number just goal I just want to put uh we go out there every single game and we give it all we have and then for personal goals I mean of course it'd be nice to be a thousand yard rusher and all that but honestly I just want to go out there and enjoy every single moment I have with our team so that that's my personal goal it's just enjoy every second so talk a little bit about campus life right now you still majoring in finance I am so what's the end goal with that uh so I'm taking the banking route so I mean my end goal would be to be like a president of a bank but I don't know we'll see I'm on a credit analy and lender then president track so I don't know we'll see see where it takes you exctly that goes so at this point you've had a year into rant what's been what's been your favorite thing about the area people no doubt the people I mean walking around campus seeing somebody you know every single day like it's it's awesome and then everybody's so friendly it's

to today's game here's Rob well you mentioned it youth I mean offensively the first key make that youth an asset not a liability I mean you get these guys have to remember you're young but you're starting for a reason the co the coaches have been watching you since Spring ball there's a reason they picked you to start on this football team go be you and be the guy that won that job of course big thing about that 20 players on the two deep sophomore are younger there are six new starters on the offense including a new QB we'll get to that in a little bit what's your second key defensively it's very simple and the coaches show Coach Bo talked about this no big plays make Southern Arkansas go 10 plus plays without an error this is week one and week one breeds errors so make them go 10 plus plays none of those big chunks and the running back scales is a big play waiting to happen so that's where it starts big play indeed and a year ago he avered 6.4 yards per carry that's a yard better than he did the year PR unbelievable player and it's just one of those things where this defense is going to have to to step up big and we'll get to that when we get to some of the key players

lley alongside Rob Johnson as we get set for today's season opening matchup against Southern Arkansas of course last year the two teams met in the season opener as well all time Southern Arkansas has dominated this series they have 24 wins against 20 losses they won the last one Southeastern won two in a row going into last year's 34 to9 loss there at rip pal field in Magnolia Arkansas let's go ahead and take a look at the starters they're brought to you by the ched found found the cha Foundation a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping tribal members achieve levels of higher education while preserving their unique cultural identity be sure to visit the website cheda foundation.com to have an outstanding scholarship program that's cheda foundation.com we take a look at the lineup for Southeastern Oklahoma State mentioned very young they've got some folks up front that have experienced uh some playing time but some that were injured a year ago up front the left tackle Bley Kennedy along with returning starter from crle Texas in red shirt sophomore Dorian Maple while the left guard Trace Tidwell a senior who saw playing time last year before he went down with injury and Malik kulp the senior transfer in from Northwest Missouri State the Senor Trenton Jones the junior out of Crowley High School down the Fort Worth area the receivers will be led by Caleb Whitley the returning starter who a year ago 34 catches for 437 yards and a touchdown but other than that it's a pretty inexperienced group in the receiving Corp with Kobe Jennings the 6791 PB Jr from quinland Texas he played in 22 did not play a year ago had just two catches for 46 yards in a touchdown but apparently had an outstanding fall Camp to earn the starting position and getting his first start of his career Gabe Corona a 5157 lb sophomore from West mosquite a kid that robbed you and I saw in high school against Sherman in the backfield they are led by DJ Brown the 510 205lb JR out of Leonard Texas and of course a transfer in from Lehi he had an outstanding season a year ago earning All Conference honors and rushing for 671 yards including along of 46 the tight end will be Matt Nunes one of those lone returning starters on this offensive front and then finally the red shirt freshman out of Paris Texas Luke hoen Berger will be getting the start at quarterback the defense for Southern Arkansas they are very experienced UPF front the front seven last year combining for 30 sacks the ins Dawson Scott had nine of those 30 sacks the 64 240lb senior from Maha Texas opposite him at the Jack position is Hunter huitt the middle of that line controlled by Nathan Earl Jr returning starter and Elvin Calhoun also a senior out of Palestine Texas he is as well returning starter the middle of the defense is patrolled by Gavin row returning starter from hotton Louisiana he had 60 tackles a year ago and he's one of your key players yeah guys we're going to start with this red shirt senior he's obviously a leader he feels the stat sheet at every level he had half a sack you talked about the 60 tackles six tackles for loss and an interception this guy affects the game at every level and he'll certainly be a key key cog in that defense joining him in the linebacker cor is Philip Jo a red shirt sophomore and Javon gthr a 510 190lb senior Rover the star linebacker is Braden white a 6' 200lb Jr the corners Melvin Smith Jr a 6' 180lb Senor out of Boer City Louisiana he's actually on the Reese's Senior Bowl watch list to make that Squad and Z Woods opposite he he has four interceptions and nine passes defend it a year ago the safety is jayen blackon taking a look at the offensive front for Southern Arkansas four big returning offensive linemen up front a three-year starter in the 67300 pounder out of League City Texas Colton grer uh grer big kid indeed and opposite he is the right tackle Connor haery at 6426 4 the left guard Benton Castleberry as well as Thomas Bowman a 63 315lb senior from belon he is the Right Guard along with Zack Thompson a 62 310 lb sophomore out of Conroe Texas and all the offensive line averaging out at 64 292 the receivers relatively young Matthew Whitt is the longone returning starter at tight end a 6423 pounder had 26 catches for 400 yards a year ago while the wi out Cole Williams a returning starter he had 30 catches for 276 yards last year as well other than that really inexperienced Rasheen green will be on the outside with Kobe Lockett the slot receiver but in the backfield Jerick scal scales an outstanding performer he is rushed for over 2200 yards in his collegiate career 27 touchdowns and he is a force to be reckoned with yeah guys he's the leading rusher returning from this team he's also the number two receiver from 2023 and the leader only had one more catch than he did we talked about it in the keys he's a big play waiting to happen if you don't at least control this Guy the game could get away from it a guy that's a little bit of an unknown is the red shirt Junior quarterback getting the start Jud Barton Barton for his career he's played the last two seasons and during that time he has complete 50% of his pass attempts 716 yards five touchdowns against two interceptions last year was 20 of 37 in relief for 280 yards a touchdown and a pick taking a look at the defense for Southeastern Oklahoma State this will be their strong front this year up front it looks like this Josh HCK and Caleb Jackson are the ends in the middle we get to the key of the defense and Fred Hardy and Jordan Hood a senior and a sophomore yeah those guys are just going to be huge you've got to try to win the line of scrimmage against this experienced offensive line and those two guys Hardy and Hood coming back from last year are going to be a big part of letting those linebackers run and make plays taking a look at the linebacking core in the middle it is uh anchored by Braden winers the returning starter from barville Oklahoma 54 tackles n and a half of those for a loss last year while the outside backers Jaylen Hughes and Vernon Grant Jr a red shirt freshman from Duncanville getting the start the corners Cole mcnight and returning starter Mikey hook fin who had 66 tackles and two interceptions a year ago while the Rover returning starter senior from Dibble Texas in Ty Williams and the Deep safety Trey Martin who returns after playing seven games a year year ago of course had his Junior season cut short due to injury as there's a look at the stars we do have to touch on the one key player on the offense for South Eastern Rob well guys it it kind of I don't want to say it starts and ends with this guy but you talked about the red shirt for us from quarterback you talked about the young offensive lineman best way to get those guys some confidence early is run the ball so our key player is DJ Brown the leading rusher returning from last season he's going to be a big reason why or why not this offense finds confidence early of course the coin toss it has been had let's go ahead with the coin toss results Rob yeah South Eastern won the toss and chose to defer their option to the second half which has become kind of the default option these days so as a result Southern Arc will get the ball to start this game they'll travel south to North or right to left on your on your uh dial and for our game time temperature and fi conditions they brought to you each and every year by shelburn Heating in air well it's 86° to start this game it's going to get down to the

Savage storm today Dawning their home blue jerseys white numerals and lettering trimmed in yellow gold the white hats that were brought back a year ago with the return of Bo ad now in what is his second year back his 12th year as a head coach and overall 79 and 57 as a head coach went five and six last season and for Coach Bo that was his first losing season of his career opposite side is Brad Smiley now in his third year as the head coach of Southern Arkansas Big turnaround he did something that had only been done once before in 44 years a 10- win season at Southern Arc and is now currently 15 eight was serving as the quarterback's coach at Northwestern Oklahoma State interestingly enough that's where his current quarterback came from Northwestern so Southeastern will kick left to right north to south again it's your US Cellular kickoff here as it's been the last couple of Seasons take a break from your notifications with us mode with US Cellular and limit your distractions and enjoy the game discover more at uscellular.com built for us and here is Jackson n and an end overing kick that lands halfway in the end zone and the season will begin with a Touchback for southern Arkansas's offense well here's a chance for that defense to come out here and make a statement against that big offensive line we talked about the key players inside on the interior of that line here's your chance right here on first down expect the expect the run but but be prepared a chance for the defense to make themselves known early course some numbered changes Braden wyers going from the believe he was 25 a year ago wearing number four as here is Barton in the gun receives the snap handoff scales trying to stretch it to the near side and his path is cut off and he is taken down a gain of one on the play to the 26 yd line well right on Q we talked about those big interior linemen in 94 Fred Hardy gets through gets some penetration makes him bounce it a little wider than he wants to and his friends with good Pursuit no gain on first down scales to the left of Barton here on second and nine quick out left side pass caught by Rasheen green and green taken down rudely at the 33 yd line making the open field stop the safety Trey Martin but it's going to set up a third and short quick look out to the outside easy pitch and catch and a missed tackle there from the youngster Cole mcnight he's going to have to going to have to be able to come up and make that play in the open field a year ago Southern Arkansas was 47% on third down they weren't afraid to go for it on fourth down though Barton in the gun here Savage storm defense were able to get teams off the field 61% of the time on fourth down last season Barton receives the snap he'll take it on his own Straight Ahead Falls forward over the 35 has a first down at the 36 needed two finds his way for three and it's a first down for southern Arc well we talked about this big returning offensive line right there they just lined up hat on a hat and got the yards they needed to Burton Now quickly claps and will hand off again this time a run up the middle it's Kayon roach and you know we talked about scales but roach A 61200 pounder he is nothing to to squabble about either last season he had 767 yards rushing behind this offensive line with eight rushing scores Barton receives a snap play action over the middle pass tapped into the air safety wasn't there to pick it off great defense on the part of Cole mcnut well we talked about the Miss tackle or few plays ago that that brought up the third and short right there you saw the reason he's getting this start as a red shirt freshman he reads that play attacks the uh the route and makes a a great deflection there to bring up a little bit third and longer mcnight the red shirt freshman now Flower Mound Marcus here's third down and seven Barton receives a stap between the hashes looks down the right side test mcnight again and this time throws it high and Away incomplete the intended receiver was Rasheen green and green unable to come up with it and now it's four down territory for southern Arc and they'll be forced to pun it away well you know you you would assume that southern Arc doesn't want to attack the experienced Mikey hook fin we saw him attack the youngster three times he had one miss tackle but those two plays back to back right in the pocket of the receiver so fourth down here back to punt Andrew Shriner who for his career 13 punts of 50 or more yards average 36 yards per punt for his career here's an end overend punt takes a new Rider bounce inside the 25 picked up on the Run by Williams and he is hung out at the 27 yd line 1305 to play and that should take us to our first media timeout should being the operative word but it does not so we'll keep it right here all right it's week one for the officials too folks apparently you know what good job by the returner right there that ball bounced way in front of him he he did a good job of getting it and saving a lot of those hidden yards that that our buddy Chad Roland likes to talk about so Savage storm their first offensive position possession of the Year takes place at their own 27 yd line we get to see the red shirt freshman Luke hollenberger hoen bger keeps it on his own and squirts forward for a couple of yards down just short of the 30 yd line we'll call it a gain of three and here comes second down and seven they tried to send Whitley in motion around the back of the formation hopefully get the the defense to shift that way and then bring hen bger back to this weak side it just didn't didn't really materialize inter in look here they have brown and Whitley in the back field to the left of hollenberger snap coming from the right hash as they move left to right hollenberger quick out to Whitley has a Blocker in Brown gets to the 30 and that's all he'll get up end it there great job defensively by Braden Wade the 6-foot Jr well we were talking about in game prep how quick and I mean just straight out fast Caleb Whitley is to bring him down in the open field is is saying something and uh the defender just get a good job of of making that open field tackle otherwise there was a lot of room there only a gain of one means third down and six Savage storm converted 40% of the time on third down last season stap coming from the left hash hurger receives it looks fires deep down the right side has a big Target and it's caught Kobe Jennings the 67 Junior with the grab and into Southern Arc territory all the way down to the 37 yard line well another thing we were talking about in our game prep is the the 6'7 power forward I mean wide receiver out here on this near side and hoen bger makes a good decision throw it up a 50/50 ball to a guy that's 67's not a bad decision 32 yd pickup on third down and six brings up first down and 10 at the mule Rider 37 snap back to hurger give to Brown up the middle and he'll drag a tackler along down to the 34 yd line gain of three on the play nothing wrong there I love the fact that brown didn't he was patient with the run and let his lineman get get a hold of their blocks but at the end of the day put your foot in the ground and get what you can get in three yards we done was something coach adury off a raved about was the off season that Kobe Jennings had of course it's one thing to do it in practice another to do it in a game but the first attempt Jennings way makes a high out real catch second down and seven here Hollenberg in the Brown to his left three receivers out wide left hollenberger receives a snap back to Brown the ground game he'll motor along to the 30 he has stood up there nun trying to give him an extra push they'll Mark him at around the 29 call it a gain of five on the play they'll bring up third and short nice cut in the jump cut in the hole there DJ Brown getting up the field going fast play showed fast and now they'll look quickly to the sideline as the play clock plenty of time only 20 seconds remaining on it as we slide toward the 10-minute Mark South Eastern began this drive six plays ago at their own 27 yd line snap back to henb bger hand off Brown tries to run left side has a little bit of a crease tornado's his way near a first down and he has it down to the 27 yd line Brown's second effort was enough and they'll move the sticks you go back the last few seasons in Southeastern had some bigger backs and we can talk about several of those brown not necessarily what you would consider a power back but you see him in these first three runs finishing those runs well and falling forward I love to see it two receivers left and Jennings all alone to the right TI in stack to the left side as well this time they'll give to Brown he'll or no play action goes deep Jennings Jennings with a highlight real catch touchdown Southeastern Jennings in the back of the end zone they've dialed up 88 twice for 100% completion rate you know what here 67 and he needed all 67 of it right there just a great job adjusting his ball in the air showing the athleticism and the hands to finish that catch in the back of the end zone and finish the first drive of the Season exactly the way you want to Dylan Cox on to kick the all important extra point Cox a year ago was 20 of 23 he's one of one here in 2024 7 nothing

now for your US Cellular north to south kickoff here's Jackson n and it is a high side winding kick again this one seven yds deep into the end Zone as do you know that times out timeouts aren't just for game days experience life in US mode from US Cellular learn more by visiting uscellular.com built for us well that defense came out we talked about they had an opportunity on that first drive to to make a statement and they really did uh first with that interior line holding up pretty well and then with the young Corner making a couple of plays back to back to to force the punt so now back out is the offense for southern Arc that was out for seven plays the last series snap back to Barton they'll hand off Kaden roach stretching out to the right edge and a bruising run by the 200 pounder he's able to pick up eight call it nine to the 34 yd line well Braden winners is is going to be a big part of this defense right there just call it week one he took just a bad angle to the runner there let let him get the edge Barton in the gun snap coming from the right hash has three receivers left side tied in Kendall Reed if that name sounds familiar that's a Texas High product a lot of reads out there in texture canall land is now the backup tailback roach moved to the left of Barton he'll hand off roach running short side of the field and is up in it there by Mikey hook fin but he's able to fall forward enough for a first down to the 37 yd line picks up three needed only one the interesting thing though those two runs net a first the first down yardage but both of them bounc to the outside there's not been a big push in the middle so credit those two two defensive tackles that we talked about in pregame Barton barking out signals receives a snap quick out right side pass caught this time again by Rasheen green green has been his favorite Target so far in this game interesting because he's got Cole Will Williams out there well and that's just an extension of the running game he's not really reading the defense there he's going to raise up notice the cushion from the corner and get a quick three yards brings up second and seven this time they'll hand off to Roach again running short side of the field big hole and he crosses Midfield jets are on 3530 and tracking him down from behind poking it loose but out of bounds is Ty Williams so Williams almost had a drive altering play if that thing stays in bounds instead it goes out of bounds and they'll say he was out at the 21 yd line well and they they pulled both backside guard and tackle and got out in front of the runner there just a just a big hold run through 39 y gain there by roach as back into the back field as jerck scales dancing around able to cross the 20 down inside the Red Zone to the 16 with a gain of five well guys right there I mean that's why he's Electric there was nothing on the left side there he was able to spin around go to the right and get five yards lines up to the left of Barton in the gun off the right hash back to scales jitterbugs then goes forward before being sandwiched down there Jackal being made on the front and in on that tackle was Braden Harris a 62 260lb defensive lineman out of Leonard Texas red shirt freshman by the way getting this team this year really Litter with a bunch of underclassman but hey if they can play that's all that matters that's right that's right when we say age is just a number we're typically talking about old people but here it's usually talking about me is what it is third down and two from the 13 give to skeles has the first down inside the 10 stood up short of the five they'll Mark him at the six with a gain of seven on the play eighth play of the drive coming up here so far Southern Arcus used just over three minutes of game clock trolling seven to nothing here in the first quarter well that's the first time we've really seen good uh push on the interior of that line Barton in the gun back into the back field is roach Kaden roach the backup tailback takes and no it's Barton he'll try to keep on his own bad decision as Braden winners comes through takes him down for a loss to the 10 yard line well we T typically talk about assignment football when we get to Harding but right there was a great examp example of of two people both doing their job one took the the running back Brad wiers did a great job scraping off the edge and a good open field tackle Barton in the gun spotted between the hashes just left of center roach to his left two receivers right with a tight end to that side Barton rolling to his right under pressure dumps it off short to Reed he'll fall forward into the end zone touchdown Southern Arkansas well right there he ran out to the outside it looked like something they might have seen on film uh he runs an out route and then reverses his field to kind of come back across to the Against the Grain and uh just beat the manto man coverage right there able to turn it up and get in the end zone on the kick the extra point Todd or J Todd Baker excuse me actually they've switched that out on the two deep we'll get that for you here in a moment it's Daniel Ghana who kicks the extra point and Gana connects tied 7 all 516 to play here in the first quarterback after this on the Southeastern Sports Network arnet insurance is proudly celebrating 60 years of serving

from this defense but Southern AR comes back on the second one goes nine plays 75 yards after the Touchback 3 minutes and 57 seconds off the clock Barton finishes it off with a 10 yard touchdown pass to locket and we're tied at seven looking for more power capability and Technology with Chevy trucks you're ready for anything Chevrolet together let's drive time for your third us hular kickoff of the quarter L along the game the quarter we're tied seven all 516 to play here in this first quarter and on to booted off is Jay Todd Baker Baker now has it drops his hand into a TR and here is the South and North Line Drive kick that's going to result in hitting a member of the cheer squad I ain't to laugh because that one caught her off guard she was cheering to the crowd hit her right on the funny bone it looks like nothing funny about your funny bone Lindley just as just as our cameraman Mr Derek Reed's walking away from the action you missed all of that fun there was his chance to be somebody's hero and he he didn't he didn't take advantage of it we were talking about that earlier we've seen you catch one of those uh sideline punts oh I'd have done it if I was down there I'd had it butd so your US Cellular kickoff results in an illegal procedure which means great starting field position for South Eastern they begin at their own 35 yd line and here's hoen Berger back out for his second time today claps hard three times receives a snap handoff no another play action he is very inept at that as he dumps it off to nun has I mean the last play we saw from him was play action it fooled me it fooled you it fooled Bob fooled the whole Southern Arc defense and that one was a short out even though it only gains a couple he is very elusive with that well credit Ryan hurt for carrying out his fake too he's out there getting a little run at running back and and he uh he ran it like he had the ball of course hurt allconference performer a year ago as well rushed for 370 yards and seven scores he had a breakaway rush for 58 against East Central he'll take a hand off here and stumble over the 40 to the 42 yd line with a gain of five you know Ryan herd is not the biggest guy in the world I mean it's probably why he's here in in Durant instead of Norman but the fact is I've never seen that guy fall backwards he didn't do it there either brings up a third and short third and three must make the 45 to keep the drive alive pause here with three receivers right one to the left play action and this one is dumped short he had Nunes in his s was just a little off Target with it and out comes the punt team for the first time here in 2024 yeah he had him I mean he's uh he's sitting out here I think he wanted to go back to Jennings had Jennings over here between the hash and the sideline just went up posted up at the uh at the first down marker and accurate throw gets there I couldn't tell if it was tipped or not but well had Nunes there too I'm with you I'm not sure if it was tipped or not either so it brings out Jackson Nelly for his first punt a year ago averaged 40.7 yards a punt with a along of 63 gets a leg under this one filled it by a scale slips one tackle slips another now he's loose 35 and finally caught from behind making a saving tackle was Bryant wats of course originally from M played high school at Kingston and one of those guys that uh went into the portal was at Northeastern Oklahoma State before winding back up near home here in Durant a quick three and out drive right there is going to put this defense right back out there after having gone nine plays in 75 yards just a minute ago uh going to have to see if they've made some adjustments to get ahead of this running game so 346 remains on the first quarter clock so there's Arc with their third possession of the game and they begin this drive at their own 38 yd line Barton in the gun they'll hand off here as Gomez runs right side Gomez picking up a yard to the 39 yd line and there's one of those youngsters Jaylen Wilson playing in that interior at 6' 281 does a great job of keeping his head up getting off the block shedding it and getting out there to make the play gz as a sophomore out of the woodlands Barton in the gun here on second down and nine back to Gomez and jitterbugs around he's wrapped up and dropped shooting through to finish him off was Cameron Daniels also was there on the stop was Alex Robinson but again credit the big man Jaylen Wilson that's two plays in a row he's not going to get a tackle on the stat sheet but he uh got some penetration and shed his Block in the interior to to uh blow up that play So third and long here one receiver right three to the left Barton looks right all day toward hook Fin and it's picked off miky hook fin with his first interception of the season they finally go at the vet and the veteran comes up big with his first pick of the Year well you know what hook fin you I mean if you want to show a video of how you cover a nine route down the field he turned and ran had him right in The Hip Pocket of the receiver soon as the receiver's head went up to look for the ball hook fin turned around great ball skills great athleticism makes an interception on his back hip and uh makes a statement for this defense to allow the O the uh offense to get out here and get going again overall time of possession just a minute 7even as South Eastern will take over at their own 41 yd line 239 remaining in the first quarter tied seven all two receivers right with the HB back lined up over the right tackle this time they go with the ground game give to Brown finds a little running room before being smashed down by Jaylen Hall R big kid 5'11 300 lb red shirt freshman out of rock wall Heath High School yeah that's a big boy right there but credit Brown for finding the creas getting a little spin out there there's nothing wrong with three yards that's going to get you at least in a place where you st you keep a lot of your playbook available to you second down and seven rolling toward two minutes remaining here in this first quarter hollenberger in the gun receives a snap play action fires left side lot of contact there between Whitley and the defensive back Z woods but uh no flag there he was there step for step talked about uh going after the veteran miky hook fin Z Woods one of those veterans you know both Corners returning starters for Southern Arkansas while vvin Smith Jr the senior is getting looked for the Reese's Senior Bowl Woods he still got another year out of carthridge Texas came over from Mary Harden Baylor had four interceptions and nine passes defended a year ago here's third down and seven and now a flag early Movement by Jennings over here on the near side trying to get a head start on the outstanding All Conference performer Melvin Smith Jr well and Smith is right up in his face you can tell uh the Young receiver wants to get off the line get his hands on that defensive back and get a chance to run by him just got an early start right there of course was already facing third and seven so the penalty uh really kind of a mild setback if you will will push them back to the 39 yd line and here's helenberg receives the snap looking over the middle and now will tuck and run he runs right up the middle has a little crease has a first down and more we were told about his elusiveness and his speed that's the first run we've seen from the quarterback Luke hollenberger so far today we mentioned the fact that he comes from Paris Texas we didn't mention that he was on the roster two years ago at Harding and that says a lot cuz if you're in that offense you better be able to run first down pick up to the 47 yard line in all it's a gain of 14 on what was third and a mile very decisive that's the one thing I saw there he backed up saw the crease saw man coverage defensive PE players have their backs turned he went and got it man so here is hollenberger after that third down Scamper a give to brown right up the gut Brown over the 35 and drags a would be tackler inside the 30 to the 29 a gain of 18 as now the chains continue to roll you know that's one of those plays rob you got a team third and 12 then not only do you have everything covered up the quarterback gets loose he scampers for 14 it's a first down and all of a sudden if you're the defense you're like man we should have been off the field a minute ago heads are spinning a little bit right now we slide toward 20 seconds to play hand off to Brown bounces in the pile bounces out left side now another cut and tried to keep his footing he goes stumbling down there's a flag deep and this is probably going to be in the area of some sort of hold as it comes with 12 seconds remaining here in the quarter it's thrown by the side judge back there so if it is a hold I suspect it's one down the field trying to see if so Dorian Maple the offensive lineman lost lost his helmet so he'll be replaced for this play but the penalty is against South Eastern now let's see what our official well it has to be a chop block cuz they marked off 15 yards from the spot of the foul Michael derus are referee today and funny the uh mic working as well as it did for me on the C before the storm at the Student Union a week ago well take my word for it it must have been a chop block otherwise it's not a 15 yard markof and they'll move them back to the 37 yard line and they'll let this quarter clock expire here and we'll go to the second quarter so at the end of the first 7 all our score South Eastern facing second and long when we return after this on the South Eastern Sports Network I am more than a maker I'm more than an Outdoorsman more than a protector then a graduate

when I started this you know what heck of a cause proud to have them on board well bought B here we are let's reset got a second down in Long long here don't need to get it all but you need to get some of it in order to make this third down a little more manageable if if in fact five doesn't take off for another point line to gain is at the 19 yd line shade of the Press Box beginning to creep across the field here at Paul Airfield to start the second handoff DJ Brown Sprints out to the right should have been a face mask and finally there it comes in dosson Scott the 64 240lb senior we spoke of had 52 tackles a year ago nine sacks and 14 tackles for a loss he got a piece of the headgear there it sure looked like he did and I hope that's what the Call's going to be uh well we're not going to be able to hear him I'll just watch yeah there there's your face mask and that's a big break guys cuz second in the bunch now turns into an automatic first down after the 15 yard walkoff and you kind of get to reset your playbook here from the offensive coordinator and put this offense back in motion on schedule and in Scott's defense you gotta sometimes you got to credit those type of penalties to the running back no doubt his shiftiness there Scott just went high with his hand and just happened to graze the face mask but it was enough to throw Brown off kilter that the officials saw it it was nothing intentional it's just Browns that athletic and Scott went a little high so first down and 10 at the 22 and back to Brown in the G ground game Run short side over the 20 and down to the 15 yd line big gain there for brown as he picks up seven and it'll bring up second down and three boy I I I know DJ Brown had a heck of a year last year 700 plus rushing yards but something I'm noticing early here is when he gets to where he wants to go and makes a decision that puts in the ground and he is north and south in this case North to get eight yards right there great job making a decision in going Owen Burger in the gun heavy to the left with Nunes on that left side play action goes right toward Jennings goes up makes the grab no incomplete they say might have been ridden out of bounds by Melvin Smith Jr but nonetheless incomplete the call well perhaps he didn't control the catch that is on the far side of the field maybe he didn't control it all the way to the ground Jennings certainly is not uh protesting that too much but it looked like he had a foot in he certainly had the ball possessed at the end into the play but we're not sure what happened there in the middle of course uh thir of course they do have the ability to challenge now but the coach adury not using that here's third down and three and a hand off to Brown he'll have the line to gain made it down to the 17 it's enough so they'll keep the sticks moving here you know something you don't talk about when it comes to challenges there's a there's a time and place basically where you say look third and three yes we didn't get the touchdown and that would have been nice but is that really a place I want to take a chance of losing a timeout when I know that 20 is going to go get me three yards right and and the flip side of that too is this this isn't division one multi-million dollar ESPN broadcast we have here they're not even HD cameras and all that yeah and they're not even using our broadcast they're using the the Huddle camera so who knows first down and 10 from the 12 play action again hollenberger throws it and he is hit as he delivers the pass and that one is left short getting in was Dawson Scott he'll bring up second down and 10 first time we've seen the youngster be a little indecisive there he takes a short drop so that Ball's got to come out right now and he double hitches that thrower takes a little hitch in his throw gives the defensive lineman a chance to get there those offensive lineman are expecting that ball to be gone by them out wide left is Victor Taylor be on the lookout for him he saw action a year ago Owen bger re looking for the snap with three to the right they'll hand off to brown right up the middle and brown makes his way down to the seven brings up third down and five I'll tell you what right now Jay we're talking about a young offensive line we're talking about some new faces up there and a lot of returning starters and experience on the defensive front for southern Arc but right now this this uh this old line is certainly controlling the line of scrimmage right there DJ Brown doesn't get touched at least 5 yards into the run and finishes it strong to bring up a third management 7 all 1227 to play Savage storm threatening again they're down at the Southern Arkansas 7 they can pick up a first down without a touchdown hollenberger pumps the pass now duckson runs and into the end zone scrambling away for a touchdown his first rushing score of his career Luke hollenberger has the storm in front 13-7 with 12 16 to play in the first half I'll tell you what right now the a great decision from the youngster he's going to throw that ball to the outside to Jennings he saw the Rover jumped that route kept it in his hands instead of making a bad decision and found the opening to get to the end zone here for the extra point and it is good from Dylan Cox that touchdown brought to you by Warren cat one of the

[Applause] welcome back everyone Paul learfield Jay Lindley alongside Rob Johnson as you get to see the replay Luke hen Berger rushing in for the score here's Rob with your TCH Chevy dealer scoring Drive recap woo recovering from a little choke you guys should hear these conversations off the air they're great they probably do it's the first game of the season 11 11 plays 59 yards 5 minutes 23 seconds off the clock hen Burger this time is second touchdown of the day but this one on the on the ground from seven yards out to go up by seven and a reminder that drive came off of the turnover the interception from Mikey hookman hen bger three carries 24 yards get this one was a third down Scramble for a first down the other the rushing score he has been doing it with his legs and his arms so far four of eight through the air for 62 yds passing and the touchdown as again that is your Tech Chevy dealer scoring Drive recap now for your us kickoff it is a south to North kickoff from Jackson n it's filled it by Smith at the five he's a game breaker over the 15 and he's stuck at the 21 wrapped up by Trevon hoen Berger so the younger hoen bger says wait a second wait a second let me get a piece of the action and he lights up Melvin Smith Jr US Cellular life in US mode from us cell means more clamping and less tapping learn more by visiting us.com slbt for us the younger hoen bger he's running down the field right there and I saw him basically face plant about halfway down the field he pops up and uh is right in the right place and makes a great open field tackle sends a message to that Runner great play of course that was a Smith with that return as here's a handoff running left side and another big hit Tai Williams comes through and sends scales willing on his backside a lost play back to the 18 yd line it's a loss of three interesting I know that southern arc's trying to get over to the wide side of the field find space for scales but running sideways with this B big offensive line just doesn't make a lot of sense to me sliding under 12 to play here in the second quarter second down and 13 and Ty Williams he came from the safety box to deliver that hit skells moves to the right of the backup quarterback by the way and scales able to knife his way over the 20 I was taking a look at that it's Marco ciderman six foot Jr and a transfer in from D1 tlon state which is kind of odd for those of you that uh are southeastern fans but don't follow what goes on these days all the schools in Texas have been moving up to division one abing Christian Charlton State all now division one schools and siderman making the move from tlon to Southern Arc short gain there brings up third down and nine must make the 31 for a first ciderman to pass lost one high two high incomplete their step for step was Keith Wright Jr a 61 202 lb Senor and a transfer in from Wayne State and from just down the road in Long View Texas great coverage from Riot over there on the edge but that ball really about five yds beyond the receiver really didn't have much of a a chance and it's interesting I don't know if they had planned to rotate their quarterbacks like this perhaps something has happened to Barton I can't see him over there but for whatever reason ciderman in the ball in the ball game there and brings up a third three and out should get pretty good field position here Smiley's been known to do that give a quarterback a rep here or there as here is the punt gets away from Andrew Shriner Shriner's punt checks up at the Southeastern 39 as then stop at the 41 up to kill it was Gavin Row the Mike linebacker on special teams and South Eastern will actually have it at the 42 with 1041 to play leading 14-7 here comes that offense having just uh sewed their oats a little bit going up seven on the last drive after a turnover good three and out from the defense there good field position every reason to keep this momentum going offensively right hurt getting this offensive series he's lined up to the right of quarterback Luke hollenberger who has rushed for a score and thrown for a score hand off hurt bounces into the pile Falls forward maybe picks up half a yard tried to keep motoring along just nothing was developing there behind the Right Guard Malik cul yeah not much there but Ryan hurt doing what Ryan hurt does that little bowling ball just finds what he can get and Falls forward even though it's no gain at least it's not going backwards bottom line if you don't like reinh hurt you don't like football all right that kid's just a he's a player Colt Simpson in at tight end he's lined up over the right tackle as this time play action hollenberger hold it held on to it for a bit too long is chased out of the pocket and then throws it away through it short of his intended receiver Andre Williams protection broke up on the far side yeah hoen Berger runs out here to the left first of all great decision he's able to secure the ball and get out here to the left throw it away and save the Lost yardage but it looked like he uh he might be limping a little bit I hope uh hope that's just a maybe a little cramp or something but he was he was down on the turf for just a second it kind of looked like he got stepped on after he held on to the ball before giving it to hurt that might be part of it so third down and 10 that's hollenberger this time will duck and run up the middle takes a slide and is down at the 45 yd line yeah he's favoring that right foot there and you didn't see nearly the explosiveness on that run that you did earlier kind of No Man's Land here I would expect us to uh Savage storm to punt this football try to pin Southern Arkansas deep right here that one the second down plays the one that really killed that drive just uh could have been a lot worse could have been a turnover great adli from The Young quarterback to at least uh save the loss yardage so here is n on to punt it away and they'll take hen bger over to the training table to tape him up uh oh and whistles blow this play dead and delay of game called on southeastern is that just an effort to give you a little bit more room for your punter I'm not sure it was also a late decision to punt kind of No Man's Land and Coach adbury might have been considering trying to go for it there but probably not the time or place to make that that gamble so here is n scuttled back five yds inside his 30 yd line receives the snap no rush and here is a line drive punt that bounces at the 23 backwards as it's filled it by scales Flags come flying in scales on the Run here's a big return coming 50 as the punter now brings him down they'll say he brought him down by the face mask and it's going to negate all of this so we're basically going to punt this one again cuz that's as clear a block in the back as I've ever seen and that might be as clear a face mask as I've ever seen so just kidding although this official down here's also got his hat off I don't know if that's a second foul that he called but all that should we we should just say none of this happened and punt it again I suspect that's where we're headed we got all kinds of stuff on the field right now there's a couple of flags at the 35 it looks like there's something to the right of the official aside from his hat along with a flag down at the 15 yeah there's no telling we might have shoes out there TOS it's week one guys I mean all that so Jackson Nowell gets to come out and punt again from pretty much same spot yeah pretty much just kidding it's a good practice rep now let's go back to the fact that uh special teams can be a gamechanging phase of the game don't want to let this thing get away from you we talked about this in our game prep you got to be solid on special teams and scales got loose there uh don't want to let that happen here and I'm going back to that play of hoen bger if you remember everything kind of got globbed up on that left side of the line and whenever he came out of there that's when he started limping when he was trying to get to the sidelines I think he got stepped on well because the the where they're looking at right now and taping would have been his plant foot right there in that scrum right and you know you hope that that's all it is and a long discussion here as they try to sort this out see I think this back judge back here has two different fouls it shouldn't matter though so basically only two you had the fa you had the blatant Blindside block that you pointed out and the blatant face mask that the guy in the Goodyear blimp covering the Chiefs game right now saw that yeah yeah and he's in Kansas City 859 to play we do all it again just kidding one more chance for Jackson n and you know what that you talked about it when you called the punt low Line Drive punt not what we need right here you need to get the get some F and some Hang Time get your your coverage people down there cuz this scales kid I'm telling you you don't want to give him time and space and an odd early September afternoon because the wind is actually coming out of the north right now typically out of the South he doesn't have the wind at his back which is just really odd for this area of the world this time of year so n he will do it again snap from the right hash and inside it's 30 receives the snap this one has some hang time it goes right back to scales filled it at the 16 comes near side and not as big of a run Colt Simpson tracks him down from behind and then he is taken down a little more rudely there on the near sideline by thearon Johnson the former Dennis and yellow jacket yeah good job of of coverage there at some point and I I I wonder if we're not going to see an adjustment here even there you make a good job you make a tackle they're going to start this drive at the 27 yd line which is not terrible that said that's probably a what 12 15 yd return on a 39 yd punt so from the 16 out 11 yd return so I mean scales bottom line he got 11 more yards of field position there at some point do you have to consider not kicking it to it you know get it over the wide side of the field so this drive for southern Arc will begin with 849 on the second quarter clock trailing by a score quick dump out to Kaden Roach is wrapped up by winners and dropped for a loss Braden winners getting through again winners for his career or at least last season 54 tackles n and a half tackles for a loss he had a couple of pass breakups last season credit winners with a great tackle also credit Colton Humphrey out there on the edge for turning that back into his buddies loss of three brings up second down and 133 wide to the right is receiver Kobe Lockett he is the one score in this game for Southern Arkansas and back in at Cordon back is Jud Barton Fire out left side pass caught by Rasheen green who continues to be his favorite Target today Green's third catch of the contest yeah I think those guys put some extra reps in in the off season when Barton lets that ball go green has not yet turned around he turns around and it's right there on his shoulder makes a good catch and the third and short here green now three catches for 23 yds third down and one from their own 36 yd line 14-7 South Eastern in front 730 to play in the first half Savage storm showing Blitz off of The Edge and this time they try to keep it on their own there the quarterback Barton and it's just enough yeah there's there's uh no window dressing there he's taking that ball and he's going up to that that big offensive line and saying find me find me a yard although one of those big offensive linemen down a little bit here now shaking up on the play Thomas Bowman three-year starter that played left guard last season started his career as a Center Senior from belon Texas a first down pick up to the 37 yd line and Barton does a great job of handling that snap that was sideways he'll dump it off short as roach dancing up the left sideline there is a flag in the secondary however and around the Savage storm 44 yd line interesting to see if they're going to try to get offensive pass interference well perhaps not they're moving the chain so that was accident they wave the flag off okay they say he stepped out at the 49 so it's a gain of 12 fifth play of the drive here CL continues to run just under the 6 and 1/2 minute Mark Barton in the gun receives a zap quickly out left side pass hauled in by Green his fourth of the day that one a short one as he's coralled on the far side by Williams also there on the tackle was Jones we've seen that several times where he's just going to raise up see that seven or eight yard cushion tell us a receiver to go four yards and turn around and get some some free easy pitch and catch yards there so second down and six here Barton receives a snap rolls to his right throws and that one short hops guess who Rasheen green that's that has been his by far away everybody cover green apparently we don't need to worry about anybody else although the the touchdown did go to somebody else but a good job there he uh he's rolling out to his right not escaping pressure but called that way and just unable able to make an accurate throw on the Run good coverage though Southern Arc three for six on third Downs today they face third and five here must make the 41 to keep the drive alive Barton in the gun they are in four down territory they went for it a ton last season 35 times to be exact Barton and now flag comes in to lay a game penalty they didn't get the playoff and that may negate any chance at going for it on fourth down boy that's interesting I don't understand why you would maybe they're just trying to draw them off sides with a hard count or something but good discipline defensively and uh the five yard penalty there you're right kind of changes things if you can get an incompletion here or a short gain you're probably looking at a punt whereas a minute ago they were kind of No Man's Land and might have considered going for it Barton in the gun snap from the left hash receives the snap looks left flush to his right will now tuck and run they'll get to the 50 and is ran out of bound saw winners tracking him down and out of Bounds at the 44 yd line 46 yd line excuse me gain of five eighth play of the drive now I mentioned they went for it 35 times last season they were highly successful they converted 57% of the time on fourth down and they do not appear to be trying out the punter Shriner here no hesitation here this could be a big play with 528 left in the half clock running get a stop here good field position and a chance to score two receivers out wide left Kobe Lockett the receiver to the right with the tight end Matthew Whitten the senior over the right tackle but there is a timeout taken we'll take a quick one back after this on the sou Eastern Sports Network with Chevy trucks be ready for adventure with power you

broadcast 516 to play and they may have changed their mind as out to punt it appears as Andrew Shriner do be aware of the fake they are in plus territory at the Southeastern 46 yd line and with it being fourth and five they could bark off South Eastern instead trer receives a snap here's a high end over in punt this one's going to hit at the five roll into the end zone so South Eastern not stuck in cofin corner they'll have decent starting field position with 509 to play here in the half and up a score 14-7 well we had our little debate in the uh in the break there and uh I we thought they were going to go for it and we were you know debating whether or not that was a mistake at this point in the game they clearly changed their mind decided to punt it but here you are South Eastern getting the ball in your own 20 coming off a couple of pretty good drives and if you're able to take this thing down use most of this clock and score again here at the end of the half boy that's that's a real C coup moving into the second half so back out is Luke hohenberger who has been Splendid so far in his first career legate start a new tail back to his right and Jonathan Cobb he'll dump it out right side his pass caught out in the right flat and it's a little short burst of two pretty much just an extension of the running game there getting one out quickly got it out to his younger sibling there making that catch on the Trevon hurger just trying to change the eye level as it will for this defense get him looking to the edges a little bit more than just being able to focus on what's in front of him maybe slow him down a little bit defensively second down in eight hollenberger in the gun Cobb remains in the back field to his left hollenberger receives a snap flag as he'll go deep down the right side all sorts of pass interference wow oh my I was going to say he was throwing at the number 14 but I couldn't tell cuz the defender had so much hold of his jersey that said No Flag by either one of these officials who are clearly stealing money and we'll go back and go to Third and eight apparently so the reason for the bomb down the right side was there was off sides but that should have been negated by the pass interference penalty that was occurring from the 50 to around the 40 yd line and you know I wonder knowing that there was an offsides and that and you're going to take that shot great job by Berger to take the shot knowing he had a free play but does that keep these guys from throwing that flag knowing there's another foul R be call snap back to hoen bger hand off Ryan hurt hurt drops down breaks over the 30 it's a first down Ryan hurt ladies and gentlemen you know what he's just look at he's like a stinking fire hydron out there I love that guy never Falls backwards always gets a couple of yards he did it there and it's a first down clock running going back to that last play Victor Taylor wishing that they still had the Breakaway jerseys he'd be in pads out there right now first down and 10 ball at the 31 yd line hoen bger in the gun hurt to his left three receivers to the left and they'll give to hurt hurt still somehow and he takes nothing and picks up a yard there as he is able to make his way to the 32 yd line again clock running down to 3 and 1/2 minutes here herd does a good job getting a couple of yards got a new Runner coming in here Jonathan Cobb we saw him a little bit last year uh certainly has some Breakaway speed so we'll see what happens here cob a year ago 14 carries for 46 yards in limited action second down and nine here clock sliding toward the three minute Mark they'll give to Cobb Cobb running off the Right Guard taken down by Gavin row at the 35 it's a pickup of three going to bring up a third and five plus maybe short six let's call it six clock continues to run at 251 I'll be interested to see if they if they get a first down here clock should stop while they move the chains but uh three timeouts still in your pocket over here so third down and five as the play clock hits 10 hen bger receives the snap looking to pass plenty of time fires that one tapped in the air and it's picked by Taylor Taylor Breaks Loose he's to the 40 to the 30 to the 20 a miracle touchdown Taylor to the house just like you drew it up on the Whiteboard Jay I'm going to throw this curl and uh the defender is going to get in front and knock it down it's going to pop straight up in the air Taylor's going to catch it on the deflection make one guy Miss and go to the house for a two-score lead 65 yd touchdown reception for Victor Taylor and you know how basketball they say on free throws the the rim always knows and maybe that time the football knew and just went right back to Taylor where of course a couple of moments ago he had an opportunity taken away and a great job by the holder there in N to get that hole down for Dylan Cox the snap was low he scooped it up and Cox knocks it home and South

Savage storm scoring drive this one goes five plays 80 yards covers 2 minutes 49 seconds and hoen Berger for his third score of the day a second one through the air 65 yards to Taylor on a fortuitous deflection as Barton receives a snap quick out ride side pass is caught plenty of Running Room on a little bubble screen Seth Johnson one of those guys with experience he's not a returning starter but we talked about how that receiving core coming into today didn't have a lot of stats it was only Matthew Whitten and Cole Williams Johnson listed as a backup the senior from gibsland Louisiana as uh he had 13 catches for 256 yards a year ago of course here is the new rule it is the 2in timeout because we can't call it the two-minute warning we'll be back after this on the Southeastern Sports Network [Music] so far three touchdowns in this game brought to you by our friends at Warren cat Warren cat one of the largest fastest growing caterpiller dealerships in North America proudly serving Texas and Oklahoma locally visit their newest location over in ardore waren cat.com Southeastern Oklahoma State 21-7 our score here at the break and granted lot of game to go we're two minutes till the halftime breaking right now Southern Arkansas on the move but we talked about youth versus experience and so far this game youth is holding their own so far so good we talked about making youth an asset instead of a liability and so far it has been the youthful red shirt freshman quarterbacks just accounted for three scores and and uh one on the round two through the air but hey hey hey it's not how it's How many bro there's still 21 over there on the scoreboard and I get it a 4 two at is Bounce but one thing I will bring him back we had him over here getting his foot taped and and weren't real sure if he was going to be able to come back he not only did but looked just fine in that last Drive well again heads up play by Victor Taylor hey give him credit pay attention so here is second down and one and the mule Riders come out four wide Maron taking the stap from the right hash moving left to right direct quarterback run right up the middle and he slides past Williams he's inside the 30 he may take it all the way he's down to the 10 before being tackled from behind and that'll suck the air out of the stadium real quick Maki hook fin down to make the tackle also Cole MCN tracking him down from behind but now Southern Arkansas setting up after a 50 yard run from the quarterback Jud Barton they'll hand off to Kaden roach and Roach down to the five plenty of time to execute here well going back to that big play that was one of those deals where you saw some some some games up front couple of Slants from those interior tackles honestly I think that's just one of those guessing right at the right time we got to give them that if we're going to take the deflection for Taylor you know what I mean second down and goal from the five Barton in the gun back to Roach runs off right side down to the one is he in he is so Southern answers right back with a very quick hit Fourplay drive that covers 66 yds and they do so in just a minute and two seconds well that's that's one of those ones that stings a little bit right there you thought you were going to take us two- score lead into the locker room I will say this though if there's any positives they scored so quickly they left you a minute and 11 and you still got three timeouts over here on this sideline and here for the extra point a line drive kick from Daniel G red shirt freshman out of San Antonio Texas so 21 to4 our scor as we close in on the CH nation of Oklahoma halftime show the CH nation of Oklahoma opening doors for tribal members and their neighbors so that all of Oklahoma can prosper find out how about visiting chal nation.com and we mentioned now chw nation's Family Violence prevention program has been a part of this since day one so has the chock nation of Oklahoma and of course a big part of Southeastern Oklahoma State and of course CH Casino Resort they have been our postgame show sponsor this entire time as well so again they're all proud supporters of the Southeastern Sports Network as well as Southeastern academics so here's Rob Johnson real quick with your Tex Chevy dealer scoring Drive recap Rob well that drive is four plays 66 yards it takes a minute and 2 seconds off the clock roaches finished it off from 5 yds out but the big play was that Barton 50 yard run on uh third down there to get him down into the Red Zone with Chevy trucks you're ready for anything this month this truck season Chevrolet together let's drive visit anyone of your local Tex on the Chevy dealers and get started today here to kick away north to south is J Todd Baker back to return is Williams as well as thearon Johnson and Williams will take a fair catch a yard in a little extracurricular there after the fact there's an awful lot of cheering over there on that sideline I'm frankly not sure what it's about I didn't see it it was a it was a phenomenal kick uh fair catch I feel like they might be talking about a block and interaction over there on the sidelines that we missed but here you go three timeouts 1 minute and 11 seconds remember you got a red shirt freshman quarterback but uh doesn't appear to be that the uh stage is too big for him it'll be interesting to see how this goes of course get the ball to begin the second half remember Southern Arc lost the toss and South Eastern deferred they'll hand off here Brown and Brown will get nothing no gain on the play stopped short at the 25 and uh they play it conservatively here Southern Arkansas will burn a timeout yeah they're going to try to get the ball back here of course if you can do this and force a punt you know Southern Arkansas just scored in a minute and two seconds so that's clearly what they're thinking now you have to adjust your strategy a little bit offensively to to uh at least use some clock if not get some yards on these next couple of plays so minute two remains till the halftime break course coming up at the break Bob Sullins will take you through highlight stats and more as a couple of stats to note South Eastern has been fairly balanced to this point 130 yards through the air 87 on the ground also go through the Great American conference schedule some games already underway others just getting underway as Henderson State up the road in Ada East Central While Northwestern okoklahoma State their longest road trip of the year they're out in the Woodlands of Arkansas Arkansas monacello sou Eastern has a trip there this season also Southwestern Oklahoma State there at ranked washingon Baptist Oklahoma Baptist two my favorite play byplay gu Sam ster at Tech and Todd Miller at Oklahoma Baptist mixing it up there hen bger receives the stamp handoff right side and DJ Brown hammered down two yds three yards into the play they'll quickly call a timeout and now decision to be had on third down here with 56 seconds remaining and then finally the one final game going on that just kicked off Southern Nazarene at defending national champion Hardy ouch and that taking place in Cersei you know what guys uh back here to Durant that was the last time out for Southern Arkansas you're looking at about third and eight I'd be shocked if this ball's in the air because you C don't want to give him a free timeout with an an incompletion if you run the football here you can at least run you know get this thing down under 20 seconds if not 15 uh before you have to punt the football away I would assume that's the way this will go for Coach adury but we'll we'll have to see how he chooses to play this so it's third down and eight here only a gain of two Savage storm leading 21-4 they'll Trot out three receivers wide right the tail back Brown to the left of Hollenberg who will receive the snap from the left hash moving south to North give to brown brown with a hole brown with a first down he barrels over the 35 to the 37 just a power run by Brown a 10yd pickup the sticks will move Southern Arc out of timeouts and does this change things for and the clock stops to move the chains now it's going to start but it'll be interesting to see if coach adury tries to pick one up here maybe let the kid throw a play action throw here doesn't have the tall Target Jennings out there but he will fire fire short and that one went off of the hands of Gabe Corona just a little too much heat on that one at short range it does stop the clock with 32 seconds remaining and that may that may be enough for Coach Bo ad yeah I think uh I think the Young quarterback there he backed up and looked to his left to Caleb Whitley trying to run by the defender you've already talked about the uh the accolades Melvin Smith is looking at over here at this corner he was right in the right place pulled it down tried to get his check down and just put a little too uh little too much mustard on that one second down here give to Brown he'll Bounce It near side and he's going to be brought down there are flags though that will move this ahead and will move it over mid M field that'll be a face mask a pretty clear face mask there and you're right that's going to get you down into plus territory again 27 seconds at this point the Savage storm have not used a timeout left so they are or have not used a timeout so they've got three left this is going to get you down to about the what 407 46 yard line it should move you to the 47 I believe bottom line is you got about uh if you can get 20 yards here you got a you got a reasonable shot at a a field goal going into the locker room 46 it is it's funny because every time you think that coach adury has had his mind made up for him something else happens and now they'll think about it a Timeout on the field call we coming up the CH nation of Oklahoma halftime show we'll have a look at the GAC scoreboard need to also remind you of another sponsor of ours that would be Durant Lumber is Durant Lumber serving the area for over a 100 years with quality products at competitive prices Durant Lumber behind every project there is a true value and of course that value brought to you each and every day by Mike Ridgeway and Company there at Durant Lumber in downtown Durant well the uh humidity seems to wore off a little bit with you know kickoff it's funny today the cloud cover kept the temperatures low we were in the low 80s most of the day we actually had her high at kickoff and with that the clouds had kind of dissipated and the humidity was high but that's all kind of wore off here now 83° right now with the Press Box shade working across Paul a field the only sun on the field is in the northeast corner of the end zone here this actually shows humidity's higher now than it was at kick doesn't feel it here's a hand off to brown brown right up the middle and has his knees taken out from underneath shooting up the Middle with Melvin Smith Jr it's a short pick up of three another timeout here from The Savage storm uh perhaps trying to reset there if Brown's able to break that one for 10 or 12 yards maybe the the mentality changes but again with this timeout I mean you can't take him into the locker room and at this point Southern Arc is out of timeouts so if you want to end the half you're able to do that pretty much anytime you want to it's a matter of of trying to calm the kids down we talked about the youth uh get them over here make sure everybody's paying attention slow down everybody get a get a handle on her situation or down a distance before you go turn them loose and maybe try to get 15 yards here and give Jackson alley a shot I mean probably cocked not n sorry of course a year ago his long was 41 he did have a long in high school of 44 was four of six in the 30s and two of three in the 40s a year ago talking about Dylan Cox the sophomore well you're going to have to get 15 yards to put him at 44 so it'll be interesting to see how they do it here so Brown lines up to the left of the quarterback hoen bger four wide two to each side keep your eye on Kobe Jennings the 66 receiver he's over the middle they go deep down the right side pass is caught inside the 10 and driven out of bounds is Gabe Corona the West mosquite product and inside the Red Zone deep at the five with 14 seconds remaining well I know it says red shirt freshman but this hanenberg kid hen Burger kid backs up he goes to at least his second read maybe his third finds a guy wide open down the sidelines and now 14 seconds you still have a timeout 37 yd pickup here isenberger receives a snap looks right goes Jennings way jump ball and it's he's being held over there but no flag and an incomplete pass but it only Burns off four seconds yeah you're going to have at least one more play here and I you know I I'm not saying this is what he'll call but the ground game's not off the table here if you if you're willing to settle for three and you think that the run will break you've got a timeout to be able to save the field goal opportunity but I suspect they want to take another shot trying to get this one in the end zone should have two plays left to do it hen bger in the gun receives a snap goes right back toward Jennings and that time no flag now a flag comes in and that's pass interference the question is is it in the end zone it was he was about three yards deep in the end zone or at least it should be which would put this first and goal at the two incoe and only two seconds off the clock there so they move it to the two eight seconds and that's the second play in a row they've gotten done in about two or three seconds at this pace they got couple three more plays Left South Eastern has a timeout remaining and Jennings is lined up right side again short side of the field did you go with the corner fate hollenberger receives the snap this time looks left he's in trouble and he fumbles the football and it's going to end with 1 second remaining so don't know what happened there the play broke down pressure off of the right side and now hollenberger really hobbled up as he comes to the near sideline and the half is now over they say or at least it appears that way uh they this side judge do doesn't agree with him I thought he it looked like he was down still a horrible decision and that's the first time we've really seen him look like a red shirt freshman either way let that ball let that ball go get rid of it and let's live to play another down we don't need to try to escape so on the replay it shows his knee was down let's see what the official says here they did put a marker down at the 17 now I assume this wouldn't be a challenge because be an official review it would have to be an official review but one would think and I don't see coach adaberry well he's down there talking to the officials I'm sure he's trying to encourage them to at least look at that now again keep in mind that in this case what you see from our Vantage Point what you see from our broadcast is not what they're looking at they have a different vantage point that they're looking at so they're not seeing the same thing that you guys are seeing at home they're looking at I believe the installed huddle cameras here at the stadium and so I don't know what the clarity of that is I don't know if it will show up as well we saw a couple of these last year uh none initiated all the challenges we saw last year were initiated by coaches and I I believe I don't know of any that were successful I I don't either off top my head so now they take a look at under the intent over in the northwest corner of the end zone well Dylan Cox is down here working uh practicing the uh kicking swing as they say and Coach adury talking to the officials because obviously if his knee is down and let's hope that's the case it would be down back here at about the 18 yd line where they've got the the the bean back so to speak and you would have to get that last time out because the clock would be running if his knee was down as well so he's coach adury good job down here talking to the officials to let him know once you see where his knee was down assumptive selling then we we're going to go ahead and take that last time out and try our field goal here and again remember the view that they're looking at is not the view we look at well they had one second on the clock it was already stopped now it got down to zero and and here's another thing part of the reason it got down to zero is the balls rolling around and bouncing if he's down that would have happened with about 3 seconds left so I would assume they would have some time if if they're able to see a knee down on the play there well you can see from here he's got the iPad and he's trying to zoom in which you know that's that's easy to do with the finger on the iPad so they're trying to take a real hard look at it as the uh referee Michael dras he came out of the tent he Ducks back into the tent as he's having the conversation with Scott Johnson the bag judge let's go back again we we've seen a great first half from the youngster I mean he's really played well right there know the down and distance know the situation if the first throw is not there throw it to the band member over there in that far corner and let's live to play another play he tried to do a little bit too much and I get it it looked like he's trying to throw that ball away at the end of the deal and it just went backwards okay let's see what our official M dras has to say I hope we can hear him and and we can't well but apparently the answer is there goes your kicking team so they did say he was down and so South Eastern will have an opportunity here again going to have to use that last time out as well so you're going to have that situation and we don't know how much time he put back on the clock either it's now uh again trying to sort out the Mike here and now coach Smiley is arguing that there's no time it was down to 1 second but but again that includes the ball rolling around for a couple of seconds there going to put three on it it looks like so it would go back to where his knee was down theoretically now they put it at one it doesn't really matter you're going to get one more play here it doesn't matter if it's 1 second or 3 seconds that's going to be the field goal attempt seal this thing up let Cox try to put this one through and give you a double digit lead going into halftime now coach Smiley is wanting an explanation here from referee deras looking to see where they're going to spot the ball cuz they've yet to put the ball down well they had a bean bag on the the 18 yeah the 18 I believe which is where the the B should be spotted if he was down obviously which would be a 35 yd attempt and as I mentioned Cox a year ago was four of six inside the 30s so an opportunity for Southeastern you know think of this if they can execute here their last two scoring drives one would have been a miracle touchdown and this one would have been one of the few times at least that we've seen in division 2 football that instant replay work to the benefit [Music] well bottom line I I mean from what we've heard from our crew behind the scenes here this is the right call uh but again a fortuitous call if it gives you the opportunity to to try this what did he just call oh timeout yeah he called the timeout which is what the delay is here now part of the delay is also well the counseling session for Coach Smiley over there on the far sideline as well so now they have that sorted out and actually they have him down at the 13 so this will be a 30-yard attempt for Dylan Cox from the Ry has snap is back hold is down line drive kick and it is good 2414 South Eastern Oklahoma State executes at the half to take a 10-point lead into the

East Central hosting Henderson State and uh that game is 1777 with eight and a half minutes to go in the second quarter Henderson stayed on top plane up in Ada so the reedy's who were picked to finish fourth are leading in that one I think the uh look see the other game that started at six was monel hosting Northwestern and that game is almost halftime a minute 47 to play it's 287 Arkansas monacello so it doesn't matter if you have an X NFL defensive coordinator or not for the range um Jerry Glenville I wonder if he's still there the we'll have to find out when we play the Rangers but

look at some of the highlights well the first thing I take away is the big plays by Southern Arkansas a lot of big plays and when you look at the points total right now a lot of those points coming off of big plays you got to find a way defensively right now to kind of wrestle those UPS well we're ahead though well I understand that but still you're looking at 14 points right now off of two really big plays down the field especially running the football when's the last time you watch a college game 14 points at halftime is great defense no it's it's it's been very good defense I'm just saying you take away those big plays and you're looking at a totally different ball game right now the first drive of the night for the Savage storm they went on defense first forced to punt got the ball immediately completed a 32 yd pass as you'll see the replay here let me speed that up a little bit that's a little bit too slow and you can see hoen bger completing the pass to the 67 receiver for the Savage storm I believe that is Kobe Jennings yeah they they call him Groot oh really they call himo I like that I like I like Guardians of the Galaxy uh so that helped set up Southeastern they had another pass which went for a touch down from hoen bger on the same drive and over the top and again a great catch once again by Groot who's also known as Kobe Jennings to put the Savage storm up seven to nothing at that point if you go back and look at that drive it was a 26 yd touchdown pass seven plays 73 yard Savage storm LED seven to nothing but Southern Arkansas didn't waste much time they scored on a short pass complete to uh jaran Lockett to make it 7 to7 with 516 to go in the first period but then the Savage storm came back and scored uh to retake the lead and I don't think they ever Trail this interception uh but I think it was by Mikey hook fin uh helped set up the offense that was back when the sun was and he played that great so right at about the 40 yard line Savage storm got the offense and Owen berer the quarterback getting his first start ticket in on the ground here's the replay of the hoen bger touchdown run didn't find anybody open so just takes off and has a wide open middle of the field to get it in the end zone and uh that ended up being a um seveny touchdown run it made it 14 to7 at that point then the Savage storm let's see if I've still got a highlight here Yep this is the uh long pass it when is it this was the funniest play of the first half it's a tip pass and you'll see what happens one was incredible Victor Taylor gets the deflection and that's that's e takes it all the way I think yep just one man to beat he may go let's watch that again Watch the move he makes after the tip so it's unexpected but he gets there's the tip but watch this move boom he's went right around the defensive black Z woods and that led him to the end zone that put South Eastern up 21 to7 the Southern Arkansas mu Rider scored they scored almost immedi imately um that was with 220 to go in the half that put Southeastern up 217 and then um it was Kaden roach she scored on a 5 yard run to make it 2114 but then we had that long delay the replay and everything uh afterwards uh whether his knee went down I could see it on the replay his knee was down and so quarterback hanenberg so the Savage swm got a field goal to wrap up the first half on the final play of the half that was a Dylan Cox 30-yard field goal 2414 Southeastern on top here at intermission and so let's see how much time do we have left in halftime okay we still got 10 minutes to go um overall I thought it was a good half by The Savage storm by the way when who do the Sooners play they play some real Houston yeah terrible I get to go to that game on Saturday oh man taking my daughter she thinks she's a Texas Fan so we're trying to convert her right now wait a minute every team in Texas does that mean she likes she's she's a un University of Texas fan at 7 years old I'm not happy about it okay so the season opener next week the Savage storm will play on Saturday evening 6 PM kickoff at Henderson here they lead 24:14 the chock donation of Oklahoma halftime show

welcome back everyone Paul L field we're again our scorer at the chalk tow nation of Oklahoma halftime show sou Eastern 24 Southern Arkansas 14 the chalk to nation of Oklahoma together we're more Jay Lindley alongside Rob Johnson of course just heard from Bob suin during the halftime report with his look around the GAC as we take a look here at ourselves and let's go ahead and revisit the keys in the first half and your first key revolved around the youthfulness of this team and the fact that there were 20 sophomores listed on the two deep coming into today's game uh the youth movement here appears to be well underway and they do not seem to be frightened of what's ahead of them well yeah these are not uh they're not scared as they say uh we talked that I mean the key was make your youth an asset and you know what we saw that we saw the athleticism we saw the uh the quick decision making we saw some confidence building as as the as the half went on we did see the one hiccup which frankly might be perfect because he played a great first half but the coaches can go see if you do that we're we're in trouble so they not only get to build some confidence but they get to give him a teaching moment and and box checked on that first key I would say of course defensively speaking Southern Arkansas known for their rushing prowess they did Rush for 133 yards but again 50 of those came on that one play from the qu from the Le least expected suspect in the quarterback Jud Barton other than that they've done a relatively solid job of keeping Kaden roach as well as jerck scales and check scales averaging less than three yards a carry this is a guy that's an all GAC performer that rushed for nearly seven yards a carry last year Well we talked about not giving up the big plays you said that like you said there's the one 50 yard run that got them down there close to the end zone they were able to finish that drive off the other scoring Drive was nine plays and 75 yards we said make them go 10 plus plays well give them credit they did it that one time but other than that but for the the big play that got him down to the end zone or in the Red Zone uh this defense has done just what you would uh expect them to do to try to limit those big plays so far just one of them I would say that's probably a check mark as well of course and opposite of that take a look at the offensive line they're only averaging three and a half yards a carry but they've had a couple of big runs hoen bger with the 14 yd run on Third and 12 of course DJ Brown otherwise uh known as Damen J brown with an 18 yd rush in that first half he had a net of 58 yards to lead the team in rushing the ground game looks pretty solid to this point against a very veteran defensive line well bottom line you know DJ Brown Daman J excuse me uh 14 carries for 59 yards at the end of the day he's four 4.1 yards a carry there's nothing wrong with that 14 carries in that first half and then there were 10 more from other people including hoen Burger so lots of commitment to the running game and uh certainly enough production to say that it's been been uh worth staying with of course a brown the a subject of our player profile as he is certainly picked up where he left off a year ago and it is Southeastern in front here at the halftime break 24-4 and of course can't help but look ahead a little bit next week South Eastern Oklahoma State uh will be on the road it'll be the road show radio broadcast only as we will be headed into ready territory we'll be in Arkadelphia on the road at Henderson State pregame coverage will begin at 6:00 next Saturday evening with the pregame coverage beginning at 5:30 as South Eastern takes on the radies of Henderson State you look at this year's schedule for South Eastern and they're are four in the GAC there are four really long road trips South Eastern can have well guess what the GAC did get them all we yeah was not the best hand at Texas hold him this year as uh this year Southeastern Oklahoma State the first long road trip comes on September 28th it's the road trip to North Western Oklahoma State to take on the Rangers there in ALA back home for homecoming only to go on the road again to Arkansas monacello to come back and take on Southern n and then you know why not let's just schedule a road trip to Weatherford followed up by a road trip to the defending champs on a short week and play on a Thursday night Halloween there against Harding so that gives you a look at what is ahead but here in this game there's 30 more minutes to play and

our video technical director here at Paul L field on this season opening matchup between Southeastern Oklahoma State and Southern Arkansas it's been a fairly even series over the course of time with Southern Arkansas winning 24 of the matches Southeastern 20 there have been three ties final thoughts before the second half kickoff a 10-point lead for South Eastern well you know you you uh won the toss deferred your option so you could have the ball in the second half this is the way you drew it up now it's time to come out here offensively and send a message that this is uh this is going to stop we're going to continue to play as well as we have been so far if you're Southern Arc you're telling your kids look we got hit in the mouth come out and show them who you are and uh we'll see who's whose message got through the best so here to start this second H half your US Cellular kickoff will be a north to south kick from sophomore J Todd Baker [Music] Baker lining up the troops Dawning the road white jerseys with the royal blue pants course identical team colors for these two as this one filled it by Williams at the one out over the 10 15 20 and is ahead there still kind of kept his footing ahead they'll have him at the 25 yd line South Eastern will begin their first drive of the second half there with a 10-point Advantage nothing wrong with that just a good job getting up the field secure return take care of the football that's another thing we haven't really touched on uh turnover battle one to nothing in favor of South Eastern in that first half want to see that continue uh turnovers would be the one thing that could turn this thing the other direction so continue with the uh ball security keep doing what you're doing so first down and 10 from their own 25 this drive beginning with the snap coming from the right hash a new quarterback in touch on that in a moment handoff right side run it's DJ Brown and Brown ahead over the 25 down to the 37 and scoping out to see where Luke hollenberger is it's Sergio Perez who had a terrific High School career at Garland High threw for over 7,000 yards in his high school career and transfer in from South Dakota and henb is right down there on the sideline got helmet in hand so maybe this is just giving the kids some run and here's a dump out right side caught by Nunes Nunes taken down mention the fact he threw for over 7,000 yards in his high school career as a coach adury was talking about both quarterbacks uh in the pregame show confident in both said that uh olenberger brought a little bit different game but Perez could really spin it we've seen a couple of throws here to start this drive that's a nice T spirl absolutely third and five here though want to keep this drive moving right here don't want to come with a quick three and out brown To the Left To Perez snap will come from the left hash receives a snap play action looks toward Whitley and the pass almost caught and out of bounds he was taken out of bounds there by Z Woods The Returning starting Corner that'll bring up a four fourth down so it is the three and out well credit Woods there that's just great coverage he does a good job staying in the hit pocket Whitley throws a little high Whitley tried to make a a circus catch but Woods is there to make sure he's not able to come down with it just good defense right there but to your point a quick three and out and now you got to turn around give the ball to this Southern Arkansas offense and we'll see what adjustments coach Smiley made it half time and here is a high boot from n he filled up by scales he is taken down in the open field Prince D on the stop great coverage good secure tackle but credit n with the punt there got some good hang time to allow those coverage units to get down the field and be in good position to keep scales from getting uh getting any return yardage there now defensively you come out try to keep control of the line of scrimmage just like you did early early on media so media timeout we'll take a quick one as well back after this on the Southeastern Sports Network Durant Lumber Company your only locally homeown Lumber and True Value

quick three it out got to see the first action this season of Sergio Perez got a follow up on hoen bger here in just a second after this play too and here's a quick out left side and it appears to be a live ball it's picked up on the Bounce by scales and it looked to me as though it was a forward pass but they'll say it was a lateral and it bounced right back up to to his lap for a 12 yd gain wow sent back to Barton another pass out to the left side this one hauled in by Cole Williams Williams taken down down after a short gain of four to the 44 yd line great job by hook fin over there they had two blockers and there was going to be some room for that play hook fin does a good job getting off the block and making a good secure tackle after a four- yd game they'll hand off here scales coming to the near side and this time taken down by Hardy right at the line of scrimmage and we talked about the importance of Hardy in this game and he has been pretty solid so far and you know what you see a lot of rotation in that front too here come Hardy and and uh his mate there coming off to the sidelines getting some fresh legs in there trying to get a little bit more pass rush on this third and long so third down and six three receivers left to the right Barton quickly to pass near side and he'll slip past the Freshman up the right sideline with the catch is Rasheen green and Cole mcnight coming up a little bit hand cered there it looks looks like he's got a cramp perhaps but uh coming right out of halftime you would have expected him to get some some uh some hydration at halftime but Bo just a m tackle right there they had the defense they wanted they had the uh the play covered if he's able to come up and make that open field tackle it's by no means an easy play but if he's able to come up and make that play uh you're looking at a fourth down so an 18 yd gain there and at the 38 yd line inside Southeastern territory are the mule Riders Barton in the gun South Eastern leading by 10 this is Southern orc's first possession of the second half Barton will hand off the scales running short side of the field he is wrapped up there and driven out of bounds by winners Tak it out at the believe the 36 yd line yeah just a great job right there keeping the edge keeping the outside shoulder free over here on the edge not letting scales get around to the sideline and just stringing it out and making a good solid play second down and eight here Barton in the gun du Riders looking to make it a one-score game Barton will take it on his own and he'll break a tackle and then is crunched into the turf at the 28 as witer slams the turf he knew he missed that tackle would have been a two- yd gain instead it's a 10 yard gain and a first down and that's another one of those uh called quarterback draws that we saw the 50- yard run on earlier officially an eight-yard pickup Barton will hand off the scales right up the gut and he'll slip past the tackle to the five to the end zone first big run by scales it's a 28 yd rushing score and all of a sudden it's a four-point game well like we said you can't uh go into the locker room feeling too good about yourself you got to come come out here a quick three and out from your offense and now a long drive here from Southern Arkansas to get back within one score so just like that southern Arc was mentioned uh some high expectations for the mule Riders this year went 10 and two a year ago snap is back hold is down kick on the way and that one is no good so it's a four-point game 24 to 20 with 11 minutes remaining in the third back after this on the South Eastern Sports Network 11 minutes left I am more than a Craftsman I am more than a firefighter more than a teacher than a student a

Silverado Colorado or any other Chevy you like at any one of your local teom Chevy dealers talk a little bit about Southern Arkansas and their high expectations this season after going 10 and two a year ago and they're within four here on the road against South Eastern as Williams back there directing traffic and they're going to kick it short and calling for the fair catch is nun he'll catch it safely your US Cellular pooch kick the first of those we've seen this season and South Eastern will take over with 11 minutes to play here in the third at their own 38 we talked about southern AR a little bit in the first but had the top offense in the league coming back they were top in the League last year not Harding that's interesting Harding of course to the defending national champs they took just two regular season losses yet finished up second in the conference they lost to ranked was into obviously ranked Harding went and won their bowl game and went 10 and two here's a handoff and stood up there at the line well so far Jason sorry n so far this running game hasn't been able to get back on track in this second half you see Sergio Perez in there I've noticed earlier uh Owen Burger's over here on the sidelines got his pads and helmet with him but limping pretty good on that right foot so I wonder if we may not continue to see Perez through the rest of this one on the goo in the back field here who's listed fourth on the depth chart he'll take the hand off here he's right up the middle and then taken down at the 44 yd line so it's going to be third down and five well you you would assume the game plan got to change a little bit with the switch to Perez but you hate to see you hate to see a loss in any kind of uh aggressiveness ASA Robertson the medil native and a transfer from Southern nazarine out for his first action he's in the left slot Perez back to pass goes deep down the right side and that pass just too long and it's incomplete and so the incompletion is going to bring up fourth down and a long for and they'll send out the punt team just after Southern Arkansas put together a quick two and a half minute drive on their first possession of the third well South Eastern found some early confidence for the red shirt freshman quarterback in that first half right here so far coming out in the second half with Sergio Perez not able to find that same level of confidence with two quick three and outs be interesting to see if they don't go to some shorter looks just let him get some completions and and get his head right now here to punt it away and he'll get away a beautiful spiraling punt over the head of scales it then checks up nicely storm with a chance to kill it do they get it at the one there's a discussion about where it was stopped yeah I I I think that's the right call it looked like they stopped it but uh it was right hurt by the way hustling down there to get to it but his body's laying in the end zone when he stops that now I understand it's the ball in college football it's doesn't matter if you're laying in the end zone but it looked like uh All Things Considered I think that's probably the right call defensively you need to come out reset get something started here so nine and a half to play in the third Southern Arc trailed by 10 to enter this half they've already taken six points off of the board as Daniel Ghana missing the extra point attempt on that last scoring [Music] drive it's back out is Jud Barton and Company Nick and bruises piling up too the red shirt fresh Corner over here still working on a hip it looks like roach in motion now the Back Field bubble screen right side blockers in front that quickly dissipates for Rasheen green as Tai Williams coming up to make the stop also in on the tackle for Southeastern was Cameron Fields Southern Arkansas just able to get those quick looks out here to the edge kind of an extension of the running game big gain on first down now fivey pickup Barton receives a snap again this time he'll keep on his own option pitch out right side and it's an illegal Fort pass and then Rasen green is going to be taken out of bounds and there's going to be an unsportsman like conduct on southeastern likely so after after the illegal Fort pass that's going to be a post playay dead ball penalty and so all that's going to result in the first down and they should enforce both of them because one of them's during the play and one of them's post play but still net yardage they're going to be about plus five the bigger issue is the automatic first down with the likely unsportsmanlike it looked like Josh horley just kept going a little bit too far out of bounds so illegal Fort pass is the first call and so the dead ball penalty against burck as we said I mean that's the right call guys I don't like it any more than anybody else does but uh orleck just kind of kept going there and and and drove the ball carrier out of bounds and what's unfortunate is it was irrelevant because of the illegal forward pass you're pretty spoton with your math it was basically a net of six yards so the penalty moves the ball to the 36 yd line we saw Southern Arkansas made a similar mistake in the first half South Eastern made them play and the MU Riders do the same three receivers left one to the right for Barton receives a snap he'll hand off the roach sprinting off left side has a crease hurdles a man taken down flag comes in this should be going back it should be a hold out there on the edge on number 18 it looked like he got a a hook around somebody's neck over there and uh right at the point of attack too so hopefully this is the break you need defensively to put him behind the chains hey I got one right course it is a spot foul so they'll Walk It Off from the yardage he had picked up he had made it to the 39 so they'll move it back to the 29 yd line so this will make it first and 17 opportunity though for Southeastern now three receivers right one to the left snap coming from the left Ash as the mle Riders move left to right Barton Rockets a pass over the middle and no one there for the deflection interception great defense by Mikey hook fin on Rasheen green Rasheen green you talk about uh being the favorite receiver I'd want I'd be interested to see the total number of targets he's gotten a bunch of targets and a bunch of catches tonight but they've been able to keep him in front of him for the most part and stay away from those big plays now you got them second and 17 take advantage incomplete pass stops the clock with 83 6 to play snap back to Barton he'll hand off and roach gobbled up at the 30 only a gain of One winners there to make the stop also there Taran Johnson so a gain of one great job defensively there just everybody doing their assignment C controlling the line of scrimmage and uh brings up a third and long here you got to play the chains and be smart don't give him a don't give him a mistake here third and 16 line to gain is their own 46 Barton receives a snap flushes it out right side and green goes stumbling down at the 33 yd line that uh bubble screen never developed you know what credit 98 uh it's awful dark in here anyway Caleb Jackson Caleb Jackson credit him there he could tell that the offensive lineman had let him through just a little bit too easily that time he's able to retrace his steps and get in to help make the play there just a good job uh knowing your assignment and knowing your reads and making a good play so here is fourth down and 13 and on to P away is Andrew Shriner back to return is Williams he had a kick return of 25 yards to begin this half as here's a spiraling punt drifts to the right then takes a mule Rider bounce then squibbles around and is finally killed at the 14 yd line so South Eastern will be inside their own 20 with 712 to play here in this third quarter as they'll take possession for the third time here in the half again you got Sergio Perez out there at quarterback it looks like he may be going the rest of the way need to try to find him some confidence uh perhaps just did a couple of short throws a couple of easy ones to get it get his head turned the right direction and and uh continue to try to feed that running game so that the play action can be an issue DJ Brown after taking a series off he's back in the backfield he's to the right of Perez Nunes in motion left to right Perez receives a snap hand off Brown up the middle Brown over the 15 down to the 16 yd line a gain of two and that was one of the things talking with Coach adury offer spoke glowingly of both Luke hollenberger and and Sergio Perez the one thing though he said was you have to call the game differently for each they both bring some different talents to the table so it'll be interesting to see what is done differently here in the second half and uh interesting having to change things at the halftime break as here's a reverse and getting it is Whitley to the edge Whitley unable to get back to the line of scrimmage he's taken down there by Melvin Smith Jr who almost inadvertently punched big 63 rley Kennedy and I know it would have been inadvertent but uh if we were watching WWE I'd like to see how that match up would play out well there's a there's a scenario where maybe maybe outsmarted yourself a little bit there but but Southern Arkansas defensively just with good discipline and staying at home and unable to get anything on that third and long six minutes to play here in the third quarter South Eastern's offense has been held at a stalemate snap back to Perez Perez pass at the left side and Victor Taylor comes up hobbled up appears to be cramped up but he may get belled out with a pass interference penalty over here on the near side Micah Davis a 510 165lb senior who a year ago had four passes defend it appears to have picked up a pass interference yeah that flag was emphatic and it was early I don't know if they're going to call a hold or pass interference but it would it would seemingly be whatever the call is if it going to be a first down uh a pass interference as the official down the end zone of course problems with the uh mik here spot of the foul but again first down yeah automatic first down when they were facing third and long I mean the end result is a net gain of six but they gained three Downs Rob that's a bigger first down and 10 now at the 21 Perez receives the snap slings it out right side pass caught by Jennings breaks the tackle and ahead to the 25 where Smith Jr able to bring him down so Melvin Smith Jr making the stop on Kobe Jennings who's having a coming out party here mention the fact did not play a year ago last time he played was a in 2022 had two catches for 46 yards and a touchdown That season under then head coach Tyler fwit tight end lined up on the right side of the line is believe Simpson they'll hand off Brown trying to make the edge able to pick up a couple as Smith Jr there again on the spot also coming up was the safety on the play and that was Deontay Barnes Barnes officially the Rover well it appears Southern Arkansas has come out defensively saying look we're not going to let you run the ball you're going to have to throw it to beat us and especially with the change in quarterback Source they don't know what the the confidence level is so I would expect that to continue second down and eight Perez in the gun he'll hand off here to brown brown trying to find some room between the tackles he cannot maybe a yard and a half if you're generous on the stop again was Barnes Scot tack looks like they're going to give him a couple so you got third and six plus here and uh most likely a throwing down so let's see if the kid Perez can come up here and make a good confident throw [Music] snap back to Perez throws off of his back leg has Nunes and a big grab inside mu Rider territory at the 38 that one was almost lofted a little too long nun able to almost make a fair catch basically in coverage and he went up and was able to position himself in front of the DB to make the grab I could almost see what Perez is thinking Nunes broke open it was a well-designed play with a hook and then a flag behind it and he's wide open I knew Perez is thinking just don't miss this one but he almost floated it a little too much 24 yd pickup and the first down 325 to play and Counting here in the third snap back Perez hand off Ryan hurt hurt still trucking along makes his way for one hard-earned yard R to the 36 yd line and shaking up a mu Rider as hurt on the play appears to be Damon LR M Grand one of those backup tackles we talked about we talked about the experience and he is shaking up so an injury timeout here appears to be just a case of the cramp so we'll leave it right here take this opportunity to tell you about discover Durant their fall concert series that is coming up four straight Thursdays of free shows that starting up here in just another week that will take place all the way through the second week of October four straight weeks of music including the Bell me Brothers something a little bit up my boy Bob su's willhouse a little nil McCoy something that my boy Rob Johnson's willhouse had a baby expect you guys to uh be at downtown Durant marget Square I'll be I'll be here to get my tickets well it's a free show Rob do oh sound like something Bob would say you know we're not as young as we used to be bottom line get back to action here the one yard game brings up second down uh be smart second and nine for Perez at the MU Rider 36 slings it out and that one got into the chest of Whitley and credit the DB and Jose Singleton Singleton not listed as a starter but he is a returning starter and he just got enough of a hand into the windshield if you will of Whitley I think that's what threw the concentration you see the spin of the ball change a little bit so he got it looked like he got a little finger on it but wow that's one I I can promise you Whitley wants back third down and nine Perez needing to convert again play action fires and that one incomplete just threw it too [Applause] high and BR apparently taken down Savage storm fans wanting something called on burn and Henderson but they're not going to get the call the question is here kind of No Man's Land here if you punt the ball you only gain about 16 yards if it goes in the end zone um interesting call here either you go forward or you tell your punter to to bring his wedge and apparently that's going to be the answer take a look at Perez now just delay take the delay of game to give him a little bit of room 24 to 20 our score here with 251 remaining in the third quarter that moves it back some good signs on that last Drive I mean it it that they declined the penalty Southern Arc did about to say they didn't move it back cuz they're at the 36 so n will punt away from Midfield he gets a high end over in punt this one lands takes a side hop and then a mu Rider hop before being stomped down by Jacob gettis and Southern Arkansas will begin this drive inside their own 15 yd line bottom line is you you got what you wanted you got them down inside the 20 wanted it a little deeper but that'll get it done defensively uh the MU Riders showed you on that last that last series that they're they're capable and willing to make some mistakes here and there if you'll make them go the long way you can't give them chunk plays like you did on that first drive so Perez at this point in the game three of seven passing for four 40 yards first down and 10 here for Barton and Company and Barton will keep on his own and this time he is snuffed out taken down a few yards picked up on the tackle for South Eastern was Vernon Grant Jr the red shirt freshman out of Duncanville Texas going to see a lot of that and Barton has shown the ability to run he's picked up some some chunks of yards here tonight foury pickup there second down and six ball spot it between the hashes snap back to Barton flings it out left side this one brought down again by Green side steps the linebacker winners and then is taken down at the 30 yd line and a flag comes in late and what is the flag on I really didn't see anything there I'm not sure I didn't see a player come in late at least not from my vantage point they get kind of sandwich green down there were three guys in the vicinity there interesting and they leave the flag on the field I didn't see anything in mu Rider's Direction either so would assume that this would be against South Eastern if there's a penalty so targeting is called on and furthermore he said number 50 1 there's not even a 51 on the roster so they will uh review this because it is in the second half and we will go ahead and take a quick commercial break 2420 our scored 209 to play officials go the tent back after this on the Southeastern Sports Network studville

into different containers so that I get to have crispy chips the Super Nachos only on the super menu at Taco Casa located on First Street in Durant and South Mound 75 in clera Taco Casa Real fresh real food real good welcome back everyone they continue to check things out in the repay replay booth and as they do that let's take a quick look at scores from around the GAC national champs Harding they are rolling over Southern n 42 to nothing last check at the halftime break Arkansas monello over Northwestern with 6 and a half to go 34-7 the score there while it is halftime out in washingon and uh it's Promised Land out there 28 to nothing apparently over Southwestern Oklahoma State a little tip of the cap to uh her good uh friend out there Mr Rex Nelson uh also East Central right now trailing Henderson 24- 17 up the road uh in Ada and Tech leading Oklahoma Baptist 31-24 as apparently no no foul because there wasn't a 51 on the field I'm joking still yet it's a first down pickup of 12 I do like that they cannot enforce the yardage I think that's different from a year ago no they've been able to do it since they brought in replay as Barton over the middle doesn't matter cuz the pass is caught into storm territory still loose is arquez Gomez Gomez danced around made his way down to the 38 yd line we last saw him in the first half at the tailback position he comes up big here with a 32 yd pickup another chunk play that you don't want to see defensively right there they've got him open again on an out route and he just drops it so there's a break with no gain on first down take advantage of this with a second and long so first down and 10 to play or second down and 10 excuse me minute 33 to play here in this third quarter Barton in the gun four wide two to each side scales the tail back to his left scales after being held in check in the first half has 11 carries for 62 yards here's carry number 12 he's over the 35 to the 30 trying to break loose of a tackle and fights his way to a first down at the 26 yd line a gain of 12 on the play tell you what right now you've got a tired defense they're they're seven 12 they're they're up to about 15 points plays here and here is scales again hand off against to scales scales getting it down to the 22 yd line of course offense in this half well they've had the ball three times they've only had a total of 12 snaps as finally Barton taken down right at the line of scrimmage you go back and look in that in this third quarter South Eastern with a total of 15 snaps in the entire quarter defense has been on for the majority of it clock running here they do have to snap handoff scales running left side and is taken down trying to hurdle in might have tripped over his own offensive lineman Colton grer going to bring up fourth and three and I bet expect Southern Arkansas to keep that offense out on the field and with that defensively great opportunity quarter comes to an end officially vering Grant junr credit with the tackle and when we return it's fourth quarter time here at Paul a field South Eastern holding on to a four-point lead back after this on the sou Eastern Sports Network when you're

Arkansas 20 as we enter the four Southern Arc threatening of course on your TV screen computer screen whatever you're doing this from your US Cellular cell phone the new toy here at Paul arfield the new video Jumbotron and uh right now they're asking the crowd to Make Some Noise they have not had a lot of things to make noise for here in this third quarter though here's a fourth down for him to do so though as skilles comes out after the quarter break and they forc Southern Arkansas to burn a timeout skills the allconference running back came out of the backfield in motion to the r immediately his quarterback started motioning no the other way and Coach Brad Smiley has to burn a timeout after a quarter break wow boy if you can get a stop now that's wow th this is one of those that can turn a football game right here certainly change some momentum not just a fourth down stop but to do it after getting a timeout coming out of the quarter break figure that one out but for whatever reason here we are at Fourth and four and I know I said it before the break but this is a great opportunity defens byy and sports medine visitel thy on we're in the we've not had a snap yet but we've already had a timeout and it's fourth down and short of very manual three yards especially when you consider the fact that Southern Arkansas here in this game they're averaging 6.8 yards per carry they have now racked up 191 rushing yards here it comes field goal and now they have to try out the field goal after that miscommunication remember had a missed extra point earlier in this game from Daniel Ghana be careful this will be a 36 yd attempt snap his back hold his down plenty of leg that one is good so it's a one-point game 24 23 with 1455 to play and while Souther Arc has burned a

one-point game we talked about it at the end of that last drive with the missed extra point with that come into play later now you still got a one-point lead that's the difference with the mixed extra points so we'll have to see you know if you're able to go down and score people start thinking well I go for two I'm up two scores you start to overthink this uh this situation so we'll see how it goes from here so overall that was a we still don't have the uh scoring drive up I do not believe I believe the plays and yards are right we just don't have the time yet but we'll get it in a second after this kickoff how about that well nonetheless was a 36y kick made by Daniel Ghana it makes it a one-point game and that drive though did eat up right at around 3 minutes of clock drive itself started at the 14 yd line so now back to return is Williams also back there atarian Johnson and this US Cellular kickoff from J Todd Baker Fair caught inside the tent so they'll get it out at the 25 scroll Les and live more with us mode from US Cellular those notifications can wait learn more by visiting uscellular.com SLB built for us 1455 remaining here in this fourth quarter South Eastern after leading by 10 at the half 24-4 the third quarter was all mule Riders actually nine plays 67 yards and it went 2 minutes and 47 seconds so so there you go better late than never bottom line it's a field goal and a one-point game so first down and 10 from the 25 here Nunes in motion left to right across the formation Perez dumps it out short near side to Jonathan cob and nothing going there they lose yardage so that Southern Arkansas defense starting to ratchet it up here in this second half well we talked about it earlier you can tell they've come out and said look we're not going to let them run the ball they're going to have to throw it to beat us and especially with the quarterback change nothing against Sergio Perez but they're thinking look the guy they wanted to starts out of the game let's do that even even more so Perez here in the gun receives the snap looks to pass fires pass caught by Nunes Nunes gets out to the 28 pick up of five on the play that's one thing I mean they are trying to get him into a flow here as hurt into the back field Cobb heads to the sidelines on this third down and seven but South Eastern needing to get to the 35 for a first down to keep the drive a lot Perez from the right hash receives the snap dumps it left to hert and hurt is hammered down only a gain of one on the play he was lit up on The Far Side by Braden white as white the star backer comes over and de cat's hurt after a gain of one well and that's a scenario where you've got you know the the first thing you learn as a receiver and Popa Warner is if you read Zone sit down if you read manto man keep running but if you keep running and it's Zone there's going to be somebody waiting for you just like there was there and uh hurt felt the uh help felt the thump on that so fourth down here and back out to punt is Jackson n and this is a beautiful punt calling for a fair catch as scales and he's able to somehow backtrack and catch that one it went high above the Lots there is a flag though back here interesting there a flag right at what and it came from the line judge but both line judges threw it so there's actually a flag on both sides so be interesting to see if they both saw the same thing or if there's two different fouls well and if you're Southeastern do you you know if it's not enough to get a first down do you elect to kick it again it's a heck of a punt so it's a hold there motioning on Southern art that would be five yards though right in post possession so 10 yard penalty coming here yeah post possession it would be 10 yards if it were before the kick it would have been five yards with Southeastern gets to keep the ball so uh a 10 yard mark off on the end of that nice punt from n and this defense needs to find itself a little bit here so they move it all the way back to the 18 yd line after the punt and penalty and 1248 remains here in this fourth quarter but it's a one-point game and it's been all Southern Arkansas here in the second half so the defense which was considered the strength coming into this season to begin with needs to come up with a big play Barton to pass flings it out right side caught by roach roach already ready to Midfield to the 40 jets are on 30 20 15 10 5 and just like that some 82 yds later Southern Arc has taken the lead it's now 2924 new r iders in front well it doesn't take long to give you the the scoring drive on that one one play and 82 yards and let's go back to those keys at halftime we checked the Box on no big plays here in the second half it seems feels like it's been chunk play after chunk play and there's the mother of all chunk plays at 82 yards to to give Southern Arkansas a lead here so coach Smiley upset about something yeah he's not and now another timeout taken by Southern Arkansas he is livid about something over there on the far sideline and I'm not sure what it is well I'm going to assume that they had a Personnel issue which caused him to take the time out but then again he's having a pretty animated conversation with the official over there I wonder if he doesn't want to go for two try to make it a seven-point game I mean he was loud enough to pick up on the crowd mik and our crowd mik is situated on the other side of the field so uh whatever he needed to get off his chest he was pretty emphatic about it he was pretty displeased let's put it that way it's the most displeased I think I've ever seen a coach after an 82 yd touchdown reception at least one that benit setting the bar a little High my friend a 82 yd touchdown anyway so I bet you he wanted to go for two he told the official and the official didn't restart the play clock and let him play change his Personnel he had to call timeout which would be his second and a half and could be and they do try down the offense here so Barton out they've scored 19 unanswered and they're chasing a Miss extra point from their first score of the second half two BS in the backfield with Gomez in Scales now the referee over to talk with Coach smiley trying to figure out what this conversation is about is he trying to lobby for his timeout back I I don't know but he just got a timeout so it doesn't matter that's a really cool video board but I wish they'd show me if they only have one timeout left they've yet to do anything yet referee having a long conversation in the southern AR [Applause] cuddle so one timeout appears on the scoreboard at the moment [Applause] now we're ready to go okay whatever that was so here's Barton again two men in the backfield Gomez to his right scales to his left two receivers stacked right scales now in motion out of the backfield right side setting up three receivers to that side Barton receives a snap give to Gomez he's stuck the ball comes out and it's picked up and taken into the End Zone by Barton now he shouldn't be able to advance that ball because it's technically a fourth down play the only player that can advance a fumble is the one that fumbled it they should call this no good we'd have to check with our rules official over there Bob but I think that's correct and so that is the case it's no good because of what you just said so we'll step aside n 19 unanswered points though by the MU Riders a lead 2924 back after this on the sou Eastern Sports Network since 1971 Westside Family Dentistry has been committed to

fell twoo conversion on that last scoring Drive still yet Southeastern need to find offense with 1237 to play here in the fourth and here's your US Cellular south to North kickoff from the leg of J or Jay Todd Baker it's fielded by Williams at the one brought out over the 15 still on his feet and this ball has popped loose and Southern Arc is going to fall on top of it and that's a game-changing play before we touch on it here's Rob Johnson with your Tex Chevy dealer scoring Drive recap well the last one was one play 82 yards it took 11 seconds Barton de roach on a pass that went down the sidelines and gave Southern Arkansas the lead and now bad turns to worse here with the turnover on the kickoff Chevy trucks you're ready for anything Chevrolet together let's draw find your Silverado at any one of your local Texoma Chevy dealers so the fumble created by Donovan Atkins who came just streaming down transfer in from Sam Houston State and he Jarred it Loose from Andre Williams and it sets up the mule Riders inside the red zone at the South Eastern 15 yd line really needing to Bow their neck here Barton will keep on his own and Sho string tackle there by Ty Williams finished off by Trey Martin the safety boy four and five yards at a at a clip now and you've got a tired defense that just left the field after a long play and they're back out there already in their Red Zone really need to Bow their neck as you said Barton receives a snap hand off scales scales running right short side of the field finds a little crease makes his way near a first down stopped a yard short at the stopped right at the six yd line well any kind of score here if it's a three still puts you up eight but uh boy your goal here is to force the field goal try at at at any cost at this point thir down you got to think they'll be trusting the ground game here averaging 6.9 per carots Barton right up the middle he's into a pow he has for it progress to a first down of 15 and then it's pushed back but that's enough to keep the drive alive yeah he just going up up behind that uh large offensive line veterans big strong and uh they just moved the line of scrimmage a yard that's basically all they need and here you are first and goal so first and goal from the five rolling toward the 10-minute [Music] Mark and now coach Smiley and Company will have to burn their third and final timeout they sure did I don't know again and he's still talking to the official well maybe he's talking to his player right there but for whatever reason he's not pleased and I don't blame him uh this is still a one- score game guys and and could continue to be that way if you can force the field goal try and he's out of timeouts with 10 and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter of what could come down to be a close game if South Eastern could find some offense so 1037 to play but so far here in the second half and this is where things have really changed is what's going on on the offensive front in this game South Eastern in this second half has gained just 46 yds of offense so 46 yds of offense here in this second half whereas Southern Arkansas on the other hand at this point have piled up over 230 ydd of offense well it seems like they've had the ball the entire half and uh well we've already said it several times the defense just got to Bow their neck here try to force a force a field goal try and hopefully the offense can find some some spark next time they get it Barton in the gun has scales to his right gives to scales finds a crease and and finds his way into the end zone touchdown Southern Arkansas and now they take a commanding 3524 lead 25 unanswered points by the mule Riders and that'll make it a two-score game too we talked about trying to force the field goal unable to do so and and I get it that defense is tired you talk about the cumulative hits of this large veteran offensive line they're just starting to pile up right now here late in this second half Gana on for the extra point into the north uprights snap is back hold is down kick is on the way and that one is good 3624 1032 to play in the fourth Savage storm football continues after this on the sou Eastern

recap well coming off the turnover on the kickoff four Place 15 yds 1 minute 58 seconds scales finishes it off with a run from five yds out and that is now 23 unanswered points for the mule Riders here in this second half so 3624 1032 to play and here's an endover in Kick it's going to be filled it by Williams Fair Cott inside the 10 and Southeastern will take over here down by 12 had a 10-point lead coming into the half and now finally themselves down by 12 with 1032 to go in the fourth well we've talked about it a couple of times Southern Arkansas clearly committed to stopping the Run bottle things up want to make Sergio Perez throw the ball to beat him Sergio's made a couple of decent throw throw has been a couple of drops but he's got to find a spark and some consistency here to get this ball moving comes out here with DJ Brown to his right Perez receives the snap from the left hash tuon runs up the middle nothing there the pass rush we talked about the fact 30 sacks from that front seven a year ago for Southern Arkansas well down two scores at this point by 12 Southern Arkansas able to pin their be ear ears back here and and just bring pressure second down and 10 Perez receives the snap give to brown brown trying to muscle out some yards does so to the 30 yd line that's important nice run right at the gut good job by Brown keeps those legs turning gets hit about two yards into it makes five make this a little more manageable three receivers right one to the left it's ASA Robertson in at right slot has Jennings out to the wide ride and also out there Gabe Corona Perez receives a snap on Third and five rockets a pass left side pass caught by Whitley and they move the sticks nice job there he comes back hits that back foot on his seven foot or seven step drop looks right out to the left Whitley good route the out nice strong throw and a first down see if he can build on that and continue to continue to do that Whitley just his second Catch of the Day two catches for 10 yards Perez low snap will hand off to brown brown no Running Room forced to go parallel and he's taken down for no gain at the 39 Y Line well to give you guys some perspective we've talked about the commitment from the MU Riders to stop the running game I made sure to look on that pre- snap there were two guys further than seven yards down the field so they're clearly stack in the box right now four wide two to each side Perez in the gun Brown to his right Perez looks right now back left goes deep and nothing there had really trying to track it down with the incomplete pass gave Corona but I think Corona was really the streaking decoy on the outside kind of fell between the two I agree I think he was going for Whitley trying to throw that that uh you know the the flag route there and uh just put a little too much on it so third down and 10 with 825 to play and Perez in the gun has three receivers right one to the left brez receives the snap flushed out in trouble fires it away and Dawson Scott who had nine sacks a year ago was the man giving him pressure well you I'll say this you can see the arm strength he rolls out there he's going to his left as a right-handed quarterback and gets over there decides to throw the football away which is a good decision at that point Save The Lost yardage but he got that thing 20 yards in the air over the sideline so you can see the arm strength and the and the armed Talent just not a lot to be found from an accuracy standpoint at least not so far so fourth and 10 and that means Jackson all is back out again now he receives the snap they send pressure off the edge they run into the punter South Eastern maybe build out here is Dawson Scott he just came through and lit in to Jackson n I mean that was just dumb I mean it didn't even look like he was trying to block the punt now if it's running into the punter South Eastern might decline this cuz it won't be enough for a first down and that's a pretty good result from the punt punt right now is situated inside the [Applause] 10 and they wave it off that's going to be a complete opposite he's saying he was blocked into him well that's just not right now that said I think it was just running into the punter even if it is a penalty which won't be enough for a first down that said well I don't agree with that at all coach adbury having a few I'm sure getting an address for a Christmas card I'm sure just a few short words they're saying he was blocked in the back and I don't remember seeing anybody I don't but that's just me but we shall good punt let's go with that great and let's move [Music] on so at the 10 yd line Southern Arc begins with 804 to play and a handoff here to Kaden roach l is a yard and a good job there from Josh horlock coming off the edge making a play in the back Field Southern Arc is content at this point to probably run the ball even if they have to punt it they just want to get about three more minutes off of this clock if they [Music] can Southern Ark now with 220 yards rushing in this game Barton will hand off here to Roach and someone lost a shoe the shoe goes squirting out it's going to be horic as he comes off to try to well you know what he said I'll put it on out here I won't wear one coach I'm still going to play again third and 12 Southern Arkansas back in their own territory the worst thing they can do from their perspective is turn the ball over they're going to stress ball security be tent to run a couple minutes off the clock here even if they end up pting it back to Southeastern uh being smart with the with the football right here remember South Eastern did create a fumble on a two-point conversion earlier in this half as Barton receives a snap here hand off to scales and scales ahead over the 10 picks up some of that yardage and then some going to give them a little more uh room for their punter but again from Southern Arkansas's perspective what that does is get them another 40sec play clock that they can run all the way down and uh here comes the pting unit they're they're content to give this one back again guys this a two-score game so South Eastern now going to be not only looking for a spark offensively but they got to do it quickly got to find some urgency Southeastern will get this ball back with around 550 to play should have solid field position Williams situated near Midfield it was a low snap this one booted away phams Williams fills it at the 44 comes near side Williams trying to make the edge and does but scampers out of bounds they'll say at the 44 yd line that's where South Eastern will take over down by 12 the 543 to go well good field position good opportunity here need to get this ball down there for points start thinking from a clock management perspective you're down 12 points so a field goal really doesn't help you either way you're going to have to put two drives into the end zone to get back in front and uh it's got to start not only here with some well consistency but again some urgency and this isn't high school either there's no District points thing to on the line no as Perez receives the snap he'll fling it out left side toward Whitley and in complete is the call now there you saw the the clock got a little bit quick in Perez's head there were he had a decent pocket and uh threw that ball off his back foot which cost him some accuracy he's got Whitley open over there and that Ball's just wide of the mark certainly had the arm strength to get that ball there and the gun here on second down in 10 from the MU Rider 44 Quick Pass left side caught again by Whitley and this one though caught inbounds and it's right at the first down marker I believe it's going to be a half yard short well we you know what we're climbing on him for a little bit of inaccuracy the last few throws that one you can't throw it any better than that he was covered pretty well so third and extremely short now Perez looks to the nearest sideline clock sliding toward the 5-minute Mark Southeastern down by 12 brez give to Brown up the middle Brown barrels ahead for a first down gain of five to the 30 yd line but again clock will continue to run so you got to get on the ball here going to have to show some urgency we can't wait on extra calls from the sidelines make the call run the play get some yards Perez receives the snap looks right steps up fires pass is caught and ahead at the 20 to the 15 and finally brought down this Corona and credit Corona from for fighting extra yards there he's got South Eastern down into the red zone so here we go you're moving a little bit now Perez finding some accuracy on these last few throws you're in the Red Zone need to finish this thing off and give yourself a chance clock stopped for some reason penalty here holding as the call on southeastern I didn't even see see the flag I still don't oh so they move it back to the 40 yd line some encouraging comments from the Southeastern crowd for This futing Crew if uh Southeastern was knocking on the door and now they're back nearly to where they started in it's first and 20 perezz receives the snap fires out diving grab made by Jenning wow picks up a chunk of that yardage seven yd pickup second down and 13 biggest enemy now though too is the clock yeah again not just uh Effectiveness but you got to be urgent here Perez claps his hands receives a snap looks left fires and just too tall for the 59 Whitley sailed that one he's got a defense backed up into a zone right now so the windows are a little bit smaller he's going to have to be accurate but he's going to have to trust that arm strength and Let It Go I mean no offense but at this point if you throw one where it's supposed to go and it gets picked off cuz it's good coverage so be it you got to let the thing fly a little bit and trust your arm clock stopped after the incompletion 349 to go moving left to right Perez receives the snap steps up fires pass caught snag down the air Corona to the 10 to the five and down to the one so Gabe Corona gets it all back and then some South Eastern knocking on the door at the 2yd line clock running got to get up on the ball and finish right here clock's running first and goal they have Ryan herur in the back field you try to punch one in here not sure you're going to catch him off guard Perez receives the snap flings it right and Jennings does a great job of turning into defensive back there on Z Woods lucky that one didn't get picked off listen the kid over here Jennings we've talked about it had nause him so far and he has really shown up tonight he's 67 that Ball's not supposed to be on a line at the back shoulder it's supposed to be a rebound that jenning's going to go go get over the smaller Defender Corona checks out padded his head so he needed a breather Robertson in as Perez receives the snap they give to hurt and hurt into the end zone touchdown Southeastern so Ry hurt plunges in from two yards out and South Eastern has it within a score that South Eastern score presented to you by our friends at Warren cat as we welcome them to the broadcast this season and that breaks the stal mate here in the second half on the scoreboard for South Eastern great job by her tunneling in there and getting in the end zone the extra point on the way and this one from Dyan Cox is good five-point game at this point 30 to 25 excuse me should be 36 to 31 and it is Southern Arc in front back after this on the sou Eastern Sports network sparland realy is dedicated to

employee ownership makes at Shamrock Bank you are more than a customer we are more than a bank Shamrock Bank member FD welcome back everyone Paul ericfield South Eastern Oklahoma State shaving it down to Five Points after being shut out for the majority of this second half and giving up 26 unanswered points they've made it a game with 314 to to go and the question becomes if you're Southeastern do you onside it here do you do have got your three timeouts I say you got to kick this thing deep and hope that southern Arc will stay conservative and get you the football back let's see here n into a jog and he does he boots it deep this one's going to be filled though at the three Y Line and not a lot of yardage coming here as a bad decision on the part of arz Gomez if he lets it roll into the end zone it's a Touchback instead he elects to return it the sophomore gets from the two to the 10 and now South Eastern's defense has an opportunity to make a stop real quick eight plays 44 yards 2 minutes 29 seconds hurt finished it off with a 2-yard touchdown run to get you within five but here's the football game defensively you've got to Bow up get it back hope Southern Arc will stay conservative like they did on the last series you can use those timeouts to get it back and then score quickly and you got a chance to win this one late course there's a look at your scoring Drive recap brought to you by your friends at your local teom Chevy dealers so buried deep in their own territory Savage storm defense needing a stop and now whistles blow this play dead the replay official has called those guys over here to the sideline for some reason I I started to say this during the kick it looked like he put his hand up to fair catch that thing and then took off running now that would be a penalty which that would situate it further back cuz he would have motioned fair catch at the two or around the three or two somewhere in there now if he just fair catches it and stays there then they get it on the 25 but he took off running as if nobody saw him I wonder if that's what they're discussing yeah they're going to move it back of course we would have loved to heard the official actually say it [Applause] but but he took well he took it and advanced it he started running with it as a sorry we're talking to a ghost back there the [Applause] whatever it is right here we've got a half the distance and this is going to put the MU Riders back inside their own five although the the discussion continues with the officials here at some point we got to make a decision guys that they're 3 minutes in the football game here and we're going to have some kids cramping up if we don't get started pretty quick so the end result now the back judge wants to get in there you guys can't have have a meeting without me and the truth is they can but now those two are going to go arm and arm to Applebees or something and I'm not sure what's going on so now they have it situated out speaking of Applebee's looking at this season home owner I'm pretty sure it's going to be packed tonight so back at the four yd line 307 to play mu Riders now buried really deep in their own territory and I wish we had a better explanation for you but we don't Barton receives the snap he'll hand off to scales the home run hitter and he gets a or excuse me Kaden roach and roach breaks ahead he is stopped down at the 13 12 yd line interesting to see and and with that big of a gain I I suspect coach adbury doesn't want to take the time out here because then effectively a first down Burns another minute and a half so he wants to get a a a neutral or lost play here and then maybe take the timeout but as a result you're going to get another 30 seconds using the full play clock from Southern Arc as well and are you willing to bet that you get a snoot full of that offensive line that averages out at 292 Barton receives the snap quarterback run right side has the first down taken down short of the 20 so again more time being used here they'll burn the time out and you have to because again with the first down they would have stopped it long enough to move the chains but then it would have started again and without a timeout Southern arc's going to take that thing down to about a minute 35 before they even snap it um no choice but to take the time out there hope you can keep him in Long yardage and force a throw probably going if if you were to get two run plays which you would assume that would be the case right of course keep in mind you do have the two-minute timeout coming too okay Fair Point look at me for getting that so effectively another reason to take the time out there because even if they run the football here you effectively have least going to run 12 seconds off the clock before the two-minute timeout I'm calling it The two-minute warning dang it here in division 2 football and Durant it's called the two-minute warning all right that said you got a third stoppage with that two-minute time out there so good job of clock management with the new rule there by coach adury and a staff but you cannot give up five six seven yards on this play it just won't work cuz you're going to have to call another timeout here Barton in the gun receives a snap same play run right side trying to get to the edge does oh and he went out of bounds but he gets out of bounds so that will stop the clock it will actually it will run down to the two-minute timeout because it's not under two minutes and now we'll take we'll go ahead and leave it right here of course coming up we got the CH Casino Resort post game show on the way some great acts coming to CHT Casino Resort Durant next Friday Five Finger Death Punch with Marilyn Manson that that's not

since 1985 providing top Collision Repair to our valued customers you comprehensive Collision repairs expert windshield replacement or efficient Paintless Dent repairs 22 excuse me because it was a 10-point lead at the break 24 to 14 loc Street dur forn 36 to 31 Southern Ark had the slow start to the game we're have no info on quarterback Luke hohenberger who had a great first half of course appear to have gotten stepped on at one point he stands on the sidelines here right at the 50 yd line but uh never undress so got to think uh should be good moving forward took Sergio Perez a little bit to find his footing but that last Drive was solid Drive which Savage storm moved down the field 44 yds and eight plays we got Rob Johnson down on the sideline with us here as here's a snap back to Barton Barton trying to cut up the middle and he is taken down a very short gain and a quick timeout taken by Coach Bo adury so third down in short as we uh check in with our eyes on the sideline now Rob Johnson and R how's the advantage point there from around the 15 well you know what it's it is what it is the vantage point from here is really the same as it was up there you got to get a stop on third down uh call that last time out I would be shocked if the MU Riders put this ball in the air but if you're able to get a stop call that last time out you get the ball back with probably about a minute 35ish left and a quarterback that's coming off a successful drive so who [Music] knows so 3631 our score a minute 54 to go and a of course long huddle over there by coach Brad Smiley mentioned third-year head coach went to college at Baylor graduate with his undergrad from Baylor and his masters from Northwestern State down in nacadas the demons third down and three here and essentially the play of the game or at least the biggest one to this point get this stop you got a chance if you don't you really don't 3631 low snap Barton hand off up the middle and he is stuck at the line they give him for it progress you got one line judge coming in at the 30 another one coming in at the 31 well the one on my side started at the 30 and sort of took an angled approach to about the 30 and a half everybody's got a measuring stick at this point but they're they're calling it a timeout without even measuring it and and for all intents and purposes that'll end this one cuz this Ball's going to stay on the ground so the line judge on The Far Side line marks it at the 31 and the time out taken here by Coach Bo adury I wonder that's what I'm curious is does he have a challenge in his back pocket well under two minutes I'm assuming challenges would have to come from the official I I suspect this is the time out to say look one More's not going to help me after first down play I'm going to get the boys over here and implore them to pull the ball out somehow this is all about reminding them of the uh fumble drills that they've been doing since the spring and hoping they can make one work so now we see though the head official begin running toward the replay entt so they may take a look at this I'm I'm behind the formation and and so it's difficult for me to say how far he got I can say this this line judge had a pretty clear vantage point and started running in at the 30 yd line well the until he ended up at about the 30 and A2 the other thing and this is something that I do not know again I go back to the fact of the cameras that they use to determine the replay they not the cameras you see on our broadcast I'm curious how if the cameras are mounted on the home Press Box given that that took place on the farash with a whole scrum of people how definitive the evidence would be to overturn that spot if that makes sense it may it absolutely makes sense now here's going to be my uh my counterargument you know what the AR the angle to see whether or not this spot is correct is not a whole lot different it's in fact it's not as good as the angle that saw hen Burger's knee go down at the end of the first half so there's there's there's the counterargument that I'm trying to find as a Savage storm fan how about that fair enough just a little bit more of a scrum there because there was a whole pile of certainly hard see absolutely and they've already rolled it now a first down as so now Southern Arc all they have to basically do here is come out and take a knee leading 3631 took control in the second half and then afterwards made it close we're going to come up just short here on the first first game of the [Music] season minute 46 to play here expect this ball to stay on the ground obviously Barton receives a snap hand off to scales and he'll plunge ahead pick up a yard yeah not much there but I can I can tell you this when coach ad's over here telling his defense to get the football out during that timeout I'm sure coach Smiley's over there telling his backs I don't need the extra yard right now once you get hit go to the go to the ground I don't need that ball coming out so that conversation was had both ways and at this point there's nothing you can do to stop it frankly I'm not sure if I'm a mule Riders coach why you wouldn't just take a knee so second down and nine here snap back give up the middle and nothing going but no fumble either they will have to take one more snap but this one can be the knee and Southeastern doesn't have a way to stop the clock and again if you take a knee here it's fourth down but South Eastern can't stop the clock and there's going to be about oh there's 17 seconds left after this play so there's no reason toh run another one and there's your your knee formation right [Music] there so Barton receives the snap takes a knee and that'll do it 3631 South Eastern losing backto back years against Southern Arkansas and Southern Ark after a 10- win campaign they come from behind on the road to win this one 3631 coming up it's the CHT Casino Resort postgame show gets underway next South

and one hard hat for sure we go to Kobe Jennings Jennings the 6791 lb Junior wide receiver from quinland Texas he set out last year he's already doubled his rece career receiving number he had two catches for 46 yards 2 years ago in 2022 today four catches for 78 yards and a score that's one of your Durant Lumber hard hat Award winners as we get set to talk with Coach Bo adury as a Rob Johnson situated at the 45 and looking for Coach Bo he's at Midfield as uh as uh now getting set to a check in and go ahead and make the uh mik hot let's let's go down to Rob Johnson with Coach Bo adbury Rob well coach uh lot of positives in that first half let's start there and some positives there late just the third quarter seemed to get away from you little yeah they they got momentum and we talked about you know you got to dial in to be able to earn that momentum back and we weren't able to do that and you know uh it's a good job by them hanging on to it and I was proud of the way the guys battled back there was just that time period where it was too long and it was too late at that point to to get it back in time to to finish um a lot of adversity I thought they faced it pretty well but like I said in that third quarter they they held on to it and they did a good job well offensively in the first half hen Berger did such a great job showed some great leadership and some real spark even as a red shirt freshman how much does the fact that you didn't have him in the second half change things and maybe cause that momentum shift you're talking about that was you saw how he earned the job of course and then you know you're going into a game and you like a run quarterback and sometimes a running quarterback gets in position and uh I thought Sergio came and ended up doing a good job and we could have done a better job for him from a coaching standpoint to get some momentum going with that in the third quarter but um that's just the nature of the game there's bumps and bruises and the next guy and that's why it's the greatest team sport is everybody's got to stay ready so they don't have to get ready you know what football's hard coach and I I I get that but it it also this is just week one you got to move on to week two you got to go out to Arkadelphia next week talk about uh what you want to see this week as you get ready for that one well we knew it wasn't going to be easy you're talking about a 10- win team that thought they probably should have gotten the playoffs and now we're going to go face a team that did get in the playoffs and um we're not defined by one game or one play we had plenty of opportunities and I know they're frustrated and um but we're not going to be defined by that we're going to be defined by by what we do between Sunday

the third made it close late and then ended up losing their season opener on at home to Southern Arkansas again they were picked to finish third in the preseason coaches GAC poll and uh the second half was a lot different of course Luke hanenberger the quarterback getting hurt made a big difference so there weren't a lot of highlights because there were in the first half in fact um there were a bunch of highlights in the first half um couple of those um defense offense let's look at an interception by Michael hookin this was back when the Sun was shining that set up a score for the Savage storm and then we were talking about Luke hanenberger he scored on a run that put the Savage storm up in the first half you can see the Highlight here his man's covered so he just takes off and runs it in from seven yards out again it was 2414 at halftime Southern Arkansas went right down and scored to make it 2420 Savage storm couldn't get much offense going uh they had to go to their backup quarterback Perez after after um hen bger was injured Sergio Perez a transfer from South Dakota University anyway uh so you got to give credit to Southern Arkansas they took advantage and they built the lead up and then South Eastern scored late let's see what their final score was if I've got an update on that here somewhere uh yeah they scored with uh 314 to go on the in the ball game Ryan hurt took it in from just two yards out that got a little fire into the fans but Southern Arkansas never let the Savage storm have the ball back and you can see the Highlight here is hurt just Powers it into the end zone barely got over but he did and so South Eastern losing by the final of 3631 let's look at some of the stats in the game yeah I mean you look at uh Southern Arkansas uh scales had uh 102 yards rushing two TDS uh they had four rushers in this game two with close to 100 yards Jude uh Barton with 93 and uh passing wise 16 of 22 was was Barton for 208 yards and two touchdowns of course he had that big 82 yard uh touchdown pass there in the fourth quarter uh to get them the I believe that was the go-ahead wasn't it but um receiving wide for Southern Arkansas uh 62 yards for green roach had 79 and when you look at South Eastern I mean uh horenberger did a great job and I felt like DJ or not dj brown but uh uh Sergio Perez did a great job managing the game in the uh third quarter he finished the game though with 10 of 19 for 100 yards if you look at the total yards 460 for Southern Arkansas to 375 and uh they just kind of control the game in the second half with their running game you mentioned they oh was those big plays too they end up 252 yards rushing South Eastern never could really get it going 107 yards they only averaged 2.9 yards per carry in the contest and they fall 3631 we'll take another break and be back in just a moment on the Southeastern Sports Network it's the CH casino and Resorts postgame show on your mark get set go to chak Casino and
