time up the middle and it's picked wow he does call the play Jeff Cho of course terrific defensive mind he was the D coordinator at Texas for theing to be on a tear tonight disrupting the operation for smu's offense he's the key brashard Smith as a running back and that's where he is in smu's attack starting this game firing to the sideline it's broken up reading that route Smith in the back field pitch it to Daniels around the left side and Daniels across the 40 out to one of six wide receivers who had great ears last year well he's got incredible speed did their second drive a little quick screen RJ Maryland the big tight end and another fly so on first down and a lot Jaylen Knighton is hit bounces backwards and Knight in the back field here second and 20 stone quick throw that's knocked down field position four receiver look Nevada is going to bring four stone he can run squares fires incomplete and when the backup quarterback comes in he's got one as well and that's Kevin Jennings and Jennings a swing pass out that's brashard Smith the catch in space is where they want him to have the ball championship game at two lane on the road played well in the bowl game lost to Boston College and Boston to for the start of this drive and again Smith 510 put his hands over the ear holes to hear a little bit better to throw here has time there's that arm and it's incomplete contact but suddenly it's third down at seven Blitz comes Jennings flushed he's going to keep it cut back and he doesn't make it that is where this team has really improved in situational moments LJ Johnson in the backfield open there is Matthew hibner the tight end and he blasts a first and 10 from the 32 Jennings a hand off and it goes nowhere that'll be Jennings scheduled the play in this game and this is LJ Johnson trying to get outside and a good actually stopped here which is good news for SMU Blitz comes and Jennings gets it away it's Knighton with the catch and Knighton flips over they

communications in his helmet fires to the end zone it's incomplete F SMU now first and goal for shard Smith in the backfield and this is Smith winds his way down close even an opportunity to develop some relationships amongst one another like a touchdown on this Saturday hit there as Johnson stood up and was trying to do there Johnson in the back field has it end zone touch get it in for the score Daniels in motion and this is Daniels on the pitch and Daniels is no longer a factor the win is non-existent the sun is out and it's warming up in Reno stone's throw is almost takes a couple series to get into the football game third and nine little bit of a blitz Stone has time fires it there and it's in for SMU remember they like to run it to throw it Stone play action ton of time wandering right firing back across the middle and it's caught there and Tempo they go quick snap there whoa he got bumped off his uh Blitz comes Stone fires traffic oh knock down could be a two down

pass and a nice catch by Roger Daniels Jr High snap knon trying to get outside Flags down high snap Stone fak the draw fires in the middle oh and it's deflected second down 20 Daniels in motion and Daniels is tripped up I think for SMU which could get him in field goal range Stone there's the quick throw they're in field goal range short of the first down ball that is the college rule on a punt now SMU 10 minutes is plenty of time for SMU to get up and down the field more than twice but right now here Preston Stone fourman rush stone firing sideline open caught RJ Maryland the big tight end
