13 Bay here he's just going to lead up on this linebacker and get a great lead block for Vander Griff great little move to sidestep as well from the quarterback but that's a physical job right there on a linebacker from a running back that last year play had has as his offensive coordinator Brown again this time it's a handoff Brown's got a scene and he stays on his feet to the marker before qu mcneel shoves him out of bounds to high school in south Georgia bottom maker tip and this one's picked off David does Johnson with the takeaway K this wild early tonight boy similar to what we just saw with Van the grip little RPO just staring it down the whole time there's three guys that know right where that Ball's going over Deion Walker a little pressure right up the middle nice swim move there for the Big D tackle as well so brand Vander Griff back under Center the off second and 12 Vander grip he's had to move a lot and this time he's able to fit it in Southern Miss territory again that's mlin 100yd receiver with north, yds averaging 17 per reception he's a big play wide receiver and fits in nicely with brown and keyth season tape on these guys last year they had a case of the drops the first third of the Season Vandergriff again using his feet he don't care to slide does he poers his way for another quter Back Carry first down picked up look my shoulder down I've been waiting three years for this [Music] Pander grip played for his dad and Bogart join Sumo K finds a huge hole this time over the left side Marcus Cox and Jagger buron out there it's a gain of second possession for Kentucky Vander grip has plenty of time out to the end zone caught Kentucky touchdown bar Brown [Applause] [Music] I said it a lot of unknowns only 21 career passing attempts coming to this game I think we're all surprised by the athleticism and after a bumpy start a great finish to that drive by V running down Louis so he's seen big moments and and now they get him a sack by JJ Reaver and it's a loss of eight it's been a little bit of a rough start from a late missed home room and everything swing out and that is immediately smothered by the Kentucky defense time Ms had nowhere to go and Southern Miss look hand off to Dr Clark and he's able to pick up a couple and stays in bounds the clock is under a minute to go in this F Simmons in motion Ro maker pressured again and nearly threw another pick Shaman Dumis Johnson in there to disrupt the play from the get-go wow that shows you the experience the [Applause] savviness the read action and wrong read Clark it's taken down behind the line of scrimmage by Alex Safari this time they run in Deion Walker's Direction he's just sitting there waiting and like you said one late in the first quarter Clark motions out raker to the end zone it's tempted and it's taken away again second interception of the game for Kentucky JQ Hardway it's started with a tip from dear Jackson he's going to read the entire thing the whole way eyes on the quarterback doesn't fall for the under route in front of his face sees where he's going the whole time start this game and they'll run it straight ahead Sumo Kong with the run those of you who noticing the camera [Applause] angles Rock Vandergriff out of the shotgun Kong Bay Kong Bay with the hole have about little number zero takes it into Southern Miss territory with a 22 yd offensive line This is where Bush Hardman excuse me Bush handen really wanted to see how that right side were perform Gerald miny jayen farmer two transfers super athletic but could they had a huge win here with 34 unanswered points and 2016 it's a one of the rare wins against the in recent history stre 6yd pickup for Alex [Applause] rer rers kick from the right hash is good Kentucky has a 10 nothing lead just about Midway through the second quarter on third and four raker to pull it back and he goes down they just collapsed the pocket led by Javon Ripka quarterback one of those guys that's filling in as Cole just mentioned a backup kti just got back one interception one near interception playaction deep ball caught by Dane key and some Running Room up the sideline 35 yd pickup exactly what I'm talking about a playaction it's really where this ball is going so no thinking it's a rhythm throw come up if he's there drill the over route and that one right on the money from Brock Vander Vandergriff hands it off this time and there is a huge hole up the middle and then a crushing hit and jamarian Wilcox recruit coming out of South balding High School in Georgia didn't play last year but he was a big time recruit they picked him up over Auburn Clemson and Ohio State little more deliberate in the pacing this time here's Jason Patterson with a bounce to the outside lowers his shoulder picks up a Kentucky first down on a gain of 12 and Jason Patterson true freshman coaching staff will carbay the only one with experience and a couple young guys getting good opportunities a misdirection and they hand off the Patterson again to the Run game Zone scheme pin and pull here's a power play right side of your screen Marquez Cox Point around folds the outside linebacker right there allows the back to get to the outside Demi Sumo Kong B is now tailback Sumo Kong B straight ahead and in touchdown Kentucky right at Cole CU guys here's how we're going to draw it up mat turn I'm going to hand you the football I don't want you to stop running till you've hit the sideline report I don't know if is the backer Eli Cox almost got to me first Tom yeah Cole sometimes they say Bang Your Head on the goal post other times they say and car Bay and a couple offensive linemen go straight for Cole in the end zone what a look you backed up a little bit Cole triying to get out of the shot there Jordan Billy be mad at me we saw Ray Davis last year's star now in the NFL at dinner last night he made a beine for call score R maker able to complete it to Davis Dalton our recruit coming out of title Town USA valasta Georgia valasta high school hands it off a loss in the left side he was part of Mike norvell's first recruiting last at Florida third and seven complete to the edge but immediately brought down and maybe an extra shove Dr Clark with the catch but till after midnight so they'll be able to carry everything they're going to fake the punt and now look for a throw on the end round and that will not work Ethan Crawford the backup quarterback came around from a wide receiver position and Kentucky will have a really short field the over oute just doesn't get there in time Crawford's looking for it you can see he's looking back side it's just not there if it got a little quicker actually would have had a chance to make a make a throw and possibly pick that one up great job rally into the quarterback sour that night for a lot of reasons Ander Griff back pedals and is able to find his man good pocket awareness that's a first down to Dan key 22 yd pickup [Applause] they're going quickly little touch pass bar on Brown to the outside into the end zone touchdown bar on Brown a 12yd catch and [Applause] run6 milph which if you don't know is fast fast fast in a game multiple times so anytime you can get the ball in his hands let him work in space good things are going to [Music] happen R maker on play action ducked out of the way of that big hit that was looming and he sends it incomplete Zion chis came slashing in yeah just sliding the protection the opposite way that's one that you'd love to get slid you'd love if you know pressure is coming from that side and immediately blown up time Ms has nowhere to go it's children again when the captains on this team he was a captain last year started every in Texas Mims well they tried to get a block out M Justin Reed couldn't find [Music] him Ro Vander Griff a quarterback for the cats steps out of the pocket do not cross the line of scrimmage and he delivers it on time the perimeter and that is a first down catch by Fred frier II who came in from UAB where he was tremendous wide receiver college should go to spot a foul on Pi I think so down the sine L great adjustment to the ball when it was in the air by jamori mcklin and the St Louis native has Kentuck for a 46 yd gain this is such a great throw by Brock Vander Griffin a really tough one to do because that's a go route which is usually supposed to be thrown on the outside shoulder but the cornerback Sumo K is a tailb play action and and Griff finds his man that's a tight end Jordan Dingle he Buri it in the end zone with a 5yd touchdown [Applause] catch from Dingle there's going to be a little bit of a jab inside before you releases to the outside and that's all you need to do you add that to the play action linebacker picy gets out of place out leverag easy touchdown for the cats
