TCU vs Stanford FULL GAME Final | Aug 30 ,2024 NCAA Men's College Football | NCAAF Today

24 yds one first down for Stanford TCU has the ball we start the fourth quarter and Hoover pressured he goes down now the Stanford bench thought there was a big time hold there was no penalty flag and Sinclair still got there the initial pressure comes from 44 Ernest Cooper off the edge and then Tristan Sinclair is there to Stanford coming out hair on fire here to start the fourth quarter boy Ernest Cooper fighting through a double team to create that initial pressure that's big time football by the big fella so the first play of the fourth quarter now it's third and 21 Hoover is going to throw short and it's incomplete intended for the tight end Dabney so fourth down and the Stanford defense they needed that big time yeah that was inspired football there you know it was time tcu's had the entire momentum all of the second half Stanford's back they're starting to go against the wall defense Saddles up and gets a big stop for their football especially after that whole special team sequence with the short punt the good return I me TCU took over close to Midfield but Stanford's defense holds so it's still just a three-point lead that was a moment where you kind of thought okay horn frogs are going to go down and start to put this game away short punt fair catch at the 30 and after all that Stanford actually gains some field position yeah they do great field position really one of the throwing the ball I am manner's been quiet tcu's defended him very well empty backfield here TCU showing a little pressure now Daniels across the middle and that's a completion for a gain of five that's the tight end Roush there Rous a good player reliable player for Stanford Junior out of Nashville looks like Stanford's decided that part of the solution maybe is a little quicker Tempo ball thrown over the head of the intended target CC when Stanford's gone fast tonight my impression is it hasn't worked all that well no you're right and and really that almost goes for both teams um but but Stanford in you know particular right there trying to catch TCU off guard trying to hit a big play down the field on a big big big box fade from the slot position credit the TCU secondary though great coverage down the field third and five from the 35 Daniels had to throw off the back foot I maner adjusted and it's incomplete knocked away another play by Bron man as he made a ton of plays tonight yeah we keep saying his name and rightfully so the transfer from Utah the sideline as an extra Defender I love what Bron did there pushed I Manor out to the sideline for a little extra help and look what gord's doing at least as of now they're going for it in their own territory Troy Taylor on Fourth and five Daniels rolling right Daniels going to try to run and he will not get there TCU stopped Stanford tyman Mitchell and he had some help the Cardinal took a big chance there going for it on fourth down I I don't know why you make that decision there it seemed a bit of a desperation play fourth and decision from well in their own territory to go for it on fourth down yeah I just don't understand Troy Taylor's decision there it's Fourth and five you're down by three you have an opportunity to flip the field pin TCU back at their own End Zone your defense just had a tremendous stop for you got the football back you know it's not a got to have at moment it just seemed like it was a bit of desperation move and and I don't totally agree with the call if you're down 10 or 14 in the fourth quarter no question but there's still a whole quarter to play you finally got the momentum back in your hand play the field position game Hoover motioned out of the backfield Savon Williams takes a direct snap and goes right side and Williams with that power speed combo down to the 30 well Williams can flat out run in the open field little misdirection there with the fake reverse direct snap to Savon Williams just showing how great of a playmaker he he truly is that's like an easy seven yards there looked effortless so second and three for the horn frogs hand off cook and a decisive Straight Ahead move for another TCU first down inside the 30 down to the 25 great block by Right Guard Carson Bruno tell you what cam cook has done a tremendous job of seeing the holes tonight his vision's been absolutely excellent he's shown how explosive he can be as a one cut back getting vertical really putting together a nice [Applause] game first and [Applause] 10 Hoover play fake Hoover down the right sideline and it's knocked away incomplete trying to hit bch that's Manley with the coverage zeron Manley great play didn't give up battling the whole way down the sideline they're letting them play on the outside that's for sure I like it I really do a second down and 10 ho for 22 of 34 286 yds play fake pressure gets away Hoover is going to run and duck out of [Applause] bounds bernardel got some pressure on but Hoover made something out of nothing yes he did bernardel coming from the linebacker position doing a great job of getting Josh Hoover off of his spot in the pocket but I love what Josh Hoover did there he was pressured he had to move in the pocket nobody was open 12 minutes to go third down and six Man in Motion Hoover looking left swings it out in that direction and it's dropped JP Richardson got his hands on it and now Sunny dkes is sending the field goal kicker out well that was a massive drop because if JP Richardson hauls that in he has a Le and got to catch that one that one's not on Josh Hoover although he's just two for his last 11 have been some drops in that sequence this one from 39 yds for Kyle lemmerman kick is on the way and it's no good he hooked it to the left wasn't a great snap and that I think their last home win against an FBS team well hey maybe that can change tonight for the Stanford Cardinal that is a long time to be waiting for another home win and for years Stanford was one of the best home teams in the country and they've been the worst over the last many seasons nice pass on the move there to start the drive Ashton Daniels to IAM maner I experienced it personally you didn't want to come here and play you know through the 2010s Stanford was top 10 in the nation in HomeField win percentage and I think it's a look there's lots of things that need to get better about this Stanford program but that that's a place to start for Troy Taylor just trying to establish some HomeField Advantage another completion to I maner and he just couldn't get away okay you can get a feel for how this drive is going to go it's it's it's fourth quarter critical situations it's time to feed our star wide receiver ell I Manor backto back receptions great start to the drive for Stanford yeah could have been a good big gain there good tackle by Jamal Johnson I know how these conversations go on the sideline as a former quarterback the receiver looks at you and he goes hey throw me the football not a lot of nuance and if I maner did in fact do that I don't blame him across the middle that pass is caught and how about that the First Catch of the year for Tiger Bach who in his own right is a talented wide receiver he's been invisible tonight no question he was one of the brightest spots last year for Stanford played as a true freshman had a tremendous season that's his first catch his first Target hand off right side and Ford goes down so a big time negative play Abe chamra into the back field for the tackle for loss yeah coming up from the SLO Corner position great tackle and space in the TCU defense after that first down seven yd loss that's the ninth tackle for loss by TCU tonight second and long they bring some pressure and Stanford actually picked it up pretty well but the throw was short left in a gain of just a few yards chamra another play and here comes a penalty flag oh my goodness did TCU do it again I think they did chra as he was getting up off of BM gave him a little shove as he was getting off and I wonder if there were some words said the play on Sportsman like conduct number one defense his first of the game 15yd penalty automatic first down and it's going to be third and 14 listen I know football's an emotional game but you have a three-point lead in the fourth quarter you're a veteran player you're a senior sloppy play yeah I mean you can quibble with was it enough to call the penalty it's just just not smart 100 yards of penalties now Daniels scrambling Daniels is going to run Daniels a man downfield it looked to me like Brock but he kept it and gets seven yeah tight end Sam Rous was wide open in the inzone that's one when Ashton Daniels sees it's tomorrow and and hey credit Ashton Daniels I think he's done a phenomenal job he's been under pressure all night long he's done a good job of keeping his eyes down the field and remaining a passer under that duress but he did miss his tight end there that would have been a big time play for Stanford yeah he got eight yards but that might have been seven points second and two two they'll throw short and dropped right through the hands of the star white out I am Manor so now it's third down this was the play you were talking about yeah and and I get it listen you you got some some guys on the defensive side that are breathing down your neck they're coming for you they've been coming after you all night you've been taking hit after hit you get outside the pocket and I understand Sam Rous is in the backside of his vision probably saw him late there but hey credit Ashton Daniels for picking up some positive yards and making it third and manageable I mean there was nobody within 20 yards yeah that would have been big time the tight end hard to see though third and short Daniels in the pocket over the top and it's caught What A Catch This Time by I maner inside the 10 BR was all over him listen Big Time football players make fourth quarter got to have it go to your goto guy I Manor what a perfect throw and catch against Great coverage and now the power run all the way down to the one that looked like Cedric Irving in the game second and goal Stanford trying to go back ahead boy that was an impressive go back a play ago I tell you what just a perfect throw like I said the coverage couldn't have been any better by the defensive back there's no answer for the perfect throw and catch at least for now Iron Man are much more involved on this drive and they've got the quarterback split out it's Irvin who's getting ready to take the direct snap now they run Daniels in there he gets the snap and keeps it and he went nowhere I mean I know Stanford's not built yet to be a Power Team like they were when they were winning so many games but that is a little cute no I don't I don't like it listen now they do get Justin Lamson in the guy who threw a touchdown earlier in the game he's their sort of run quarterback specialist on Third and goal from inside the one Lamson keeps it Lamson lunges [Applause] [Music] [Applause] touchdown well there's something I just learned about Justin Lamson he is one tough physical quarterback he met Johnny Hodges the our middle linebacker old school throwback type linebacker for TCU right there at the goal line and Justin Lamson won that battle wow that's impressive that was kind of one-on-one wasn't it yes it was it was one-on-one nobody else in the way Johnny Hodges versus Justin Lamson tell you what he's got some power when he gets going downhill and how about this Stanford big Underdog tonight and with under 7even minutes to go they've gone back ahead they're getting ready for the point after the officials I assume are just checking this play upstairs just to confirm the touchdown they're still waiting on the field out that was a heck of an effort by Justin Lamson seems a little unnecessary do a pretty clearcut touchdown I thought it was and now we get that confirmation so here comes a big point after to make it a four-point lead kick is up and the kick is good somebody you're saying something it just wasn't needed over a 100 penalty yards against TCU tonight this kick returnable from the goal line and out to the 25 26 yd line that's where TCU will have the ball back Labor Day weekend right here on ESPN and ABC our college football lineup ESPN and ABC that is an A+ lineup can't wait for it and this is kind of I mean look we had some games last night quick hitter on first down TCU gets an immediate first down B has had a nice game for the horn frogs but this Friday night game for TCU and Stanford kind of a way to get the whole Labor Day weekend started we've got a good game four-point lead for Stanford fourth quarter play fake again across the middle and another complete comption this time Richardson into Stanford territory still going inside the 30 what an effort by JP Richardson it's great recognition there by quarterback Josh Hoover it's an RPO by the Young quarterback 34 yds 23 of them after the catch this one is completed Williams had to lay out and so he's down after a short game but TCU wasting no time going straight down the field no and this is what they're capable of they they show and drops to the pum but when they're rolling they can score as fast as they want to over 400 yds of offense now on the night for TCU Josh Hoover second and seven rolling right and throwing right and another great catch by Richardson he gets close and might have gotten there maybe just a half yard short tremendous grab by JP Richardson had to use all of his 6- foot frame showing off his ball skills and now on Third and short TCU goes quick Tempo gets the ball handed off to cook and they get the first down down to the 15 well can they finish the drive they've had a hard time with that tonight you know if I'm TCU I'm going to slow down the game right now I'm going to make sure everyone gets on the same page I'm going to bleed the clock a bit really take my time here in the red area and make sure everyone's on the same page a first down and 10 they can get a first down again at about the five Hoover throws Williams with the catch three Defenders on him still hard to bring down inside the 10 Close to the eight Savon Williams just so impressive he's got four guys hanging on him and he still finds a way to fall forward and get an extra half a yard it's been a lot of fun to watch tonight that's his 11th catch of the G second and three Hoover with Cam cook to his right side under 10 seconds on the play clock Hoover hand off cook running right cook cuts it to the five and he'll get the first down first and goal [Applause] TCU and I think you're right Brock that there's they are deliberately taking some extra time well you should you know you're in your four-minute offensive mode you don't have the lead but you're knocking on the end zone door you don't want to leave Stanford with too much time if you find a way to punch this into the end zone first and goal Hoover looking over the top pass caught touchdown Jack bash having a huge game and the horn frogs go right back ahead the touchdown from Hoover to B wow TCU just making it look easy on that drive love the command Josh Hoover had at the quarterback position this was just too easy one-on-one on the outside a little corner route from the lot Jack bash working on cornerback zeron Manley B getting the best of Manley there he's kind of a breakout guy of the night for TCU we thought he'd be good but he's been outstanding why there's been a lot of preseason hype around him we know the arm strength we know the leadership the intangibles he brings to the table we know his teammates love him he's won the locker room the question was you know this is his first year being the full-time starter that was an extremely impressive Drive by The Young quarterback so now it's going to come down to the TCU defense can they get one more stop of Ashton Daniels in the Stanford offense Bry frell back deep to receive this kick and that one is going to be fair caught it'll be a Touchback for Stanford well coming up next we got Sports Center Stanford at Steven Nelson ready to go best off defense can come up with a big time Drive first down Daniels is going to go over the top and the pass is incomplete oh man I think Jackson Harris had it and it went through his hands he was open and I thought Daniels put the ball on the and incomplete BM was just blanketed Bud Clark again listen I don't I don't know how many times you're going to want to try Bud Clark he's one of the star players of this defense two-time team captain now you're facing third and long after two incompletions and BM heads off the field for this third and [Applause] 10 I think it's important for Ashton Daniels to be very smart with the football here you still have three timeouts so even if you don't get the first down play the field position game you still have a chance to get the ball back they'll take the snap on Third and 10 here comes the pressure and he is going to go down and get sacked the TCU front just overwhelms Stanford Devon deal Marcel Brooks again the sack Masters tell you what those guys have played a great game tonight Marcel Brooks pass rush specialist Devon deal coming over from Tain All Conference players season ago in the American Athletic and Stanford's going to go for it by the way they're not going to punt the ball away just no pocket for Ashton Daniels to step up into they're going to go for it here so on fourth down and long fourth and 16 Daniels steps up and throws and it's tipped up incomplete ion maner got a hand on it but the TCU defense comes up with the stop now 214 to go remember you have the two-minute timeout now in college football plus all three timeouts and I guess the theory for Troy Taylor is if you can hold him to a field goal you get the ball back anyway yeah and a little bit of that is you know I I don't know how much you trust your defense right now TCU just marched right down the field scored a touchdown so maybe you're thinking hey we have the ball in our hand right now let's try to go win the football game while we possess the football that's the only thing I can think of because there's not many plays in the playbook for fourth and 16 and Stanford was taking deep shots on that drive they had an opportunity to make especially one big play they didn't and I don't mind those calls the the defense TCU was playing presented the opportunity to push the ball down the field but that fourth and an extra long is going to be very difficult to convert so now Stanford has to stop with that two-minute timeout coming cook is going to run middle and get a yard maybe and Stanford will use a timeout which that's good clock management cuz this play to go at least 7 Seconds easier said than done but yes absolutely TCU they're in four-minute offense right now they have the lead they want to stay in bounds they want to bleed the clock as much as they can you've hit on it multiple times tonight there is a new rule in college football and that clock hits 2 minutes there will be a a stoppage of play we don't call it a two-minute warning at the college level that's just the NFL but the clock stops nevertheless I think their logic is well what do we need to warn you about there's nothing to be afraid of it's just two minutes to go in the game it just has a good ring to it can we go with it a little bit you know ites sounds weird to not be able to say two-minute warning but it's the two-minute timeout coming Sanford has their own two timeouts still left on second and nine they're going to hand it to cook and he'll try to bounce it left he'll get to the corner and Cook gets the first down that's huge now we have that two-minute timeout but it's going to be first and goal TCU right after this the patience he gets a great late block by his right tackle Mike Nichols washes the final Defender out of the pitcher which is what propels cam cook into the end zone along with his own personal effort going up and over for the touchdown was an incredible effort it really was cuz that didn't look like there was a whole lot going on on that play and cam cook and I really think there was a deliberate attempt to run the ball more in this second half there certainly was and cam cook showed why I mean you see the patience on the replay there was nothing passing situation tight tense game all the way through Stanford LED for much of this game and now here we are under two minutes to go and tcu's got the 10-point lead listen when you're in these when everybody in the building knows you're going to throw the football it's not a great feeling especially when your offensive line has not been playing great in the past protection tonight so I'd love to see Troy Taylor chip the edges one side with a running back the other with a tight end as they release out into their pass patterns give this offensive line some help give Ashton Daniels time to push the football down the field tcu's outscored Stanford since halftime 24-7 was 1710 at halftime Stanford LED [Applause] a 151 on the clock just a three-man rush and the ball knocked away I think that's going to be incomplete yeah and better for Stanford if he catch that one and you gained three yards in the clock moves that's worse than just dropping it you're exactly right if there's ever good incompletion that's it you don't want two or three yards especially if it's going to burn 20 30 seconds a clock so second and [Applause] 10 across the middle Iron Man are wide open and he's going to get to Midfield into TCU territory well I mean for Stanford the only hope is to go as fast as you can clock stops to get everything set and now it'll run again this throw is caught and Stanford might need to use a timeout I guess they won't no I wouldn't use one here not on a short completion like that you can get back to the line of scrimmage very quickly and get the ball [Applause] snapped and that's what they did Daniels going to throw short again this is Ford The Freshman running back first down Stamford inside the 35 clock stops again and Ford is hurting Stanford's either going to have to take a timeout or there'll be a 10-second run off offensive player injured the final two minutes at left leg [Applause] [Music] and they will run the clock starting now okay Daniels scrambling he's going to run and go out of bounds that will stop the clock down to 50 seconds to [Music] go was great time management by Stanford they were on the ball so as soon as the officials wound the clock they were ready to snap the football not wasting any time final minute here at Stanford Stadium Stanford's down 10 looking for a miracle pressure Comes This Time Daniels throws and that one knocked away incomplete clock stops with 46 seconds left so what you do have to consider at some point is do you take the field goal save the time try the onside kick or do you try for this touchdown right here looks like they're going to keep the offense out there try to get a fresh set of downs and go score the touchdown but kicking a field goal right now saving that extra time is definitely an option for Stanford yeah and if you don't get it look if you're actually trying to win the game this was probably the right play Oh 100% cuz you need two scores regardless so save the time you're well within your kickers range get points while you can it's big kick for EMT Kenny from 45 yds out his first game as the full-time Place kicker snap hole kick on the way and that one is good so he made it 36 seconds on the clock Stanford down just seven and now you at least have a chance oh a number of times between spring ball fall Camp you're always ready for situational football in moments like this we have an onti kick [Music] specialist I'm asking a question that maybe can't be answered it was just the it was just the uh the no-name extra Jersey 33 I like it that was a quick transition get out there and kick a good one well for TCU they'll put their own hands group up front ball has to travel 10 yds before Stanford can touch it they'll pop it in the air no it's grabbed by TCU and that will end the game Chase Curtis the big tight end sealing the game for the TCU horn [Applause] frogs so TCU comes on the road and now all they have to do is take a knee and they will have themselves their first win of the Year great job by Chase Curtis attacking this football showing off his hands I had to go up by his shoulder to get that great great play by the tight end Curtis that was a pretty good onside kick actually it was it was coming with some steam there was going to be a good bounce in there and I I don't know if Troy Taylor's telling the official I am going to use my timeouts or I'm not going to use my timeouts he still has two of them they did all that without using a single one and he will use his timeout [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well for Stanford some things to build on for TCU a lot to get cleaned up but I I I think you can see the
