game is brought to you by Coke Zero real Coke taste zero calories enjoy [Music] [Music] everything Alabama lines up to kick this one off and we're just about set underway he really got a hold of that kick this one's going to be down in the end zone for a Touchback the quarterback leads the team out on the field for the first drive hey check check check check they'll bring him down at the 34 gain of nine on the play that brings up second and one it's second down now and they're just a few feet away from that first down marker down down check 33 33 here we [Applause] go I'm not shocked to see him have a chance to run the football I remember being out of practice earlier this week and one thing that became very clear is this wide receiver not only can make great plays in the passing game but they're going to try to do what they can on reverses and different things to get him the football and here's an example what he can do and how explosive he can [Music] be it's second and seven ball on their own [Applause] 46 dangerous throw this one's picked off number 15 the interception and just a great interception by the cornerback well that's big time he made a great read on the quarterback and got in there for the [Applause] pick from their own 45 yd line first down down down mik 34 M 34 hand off and he's met in the back field these guys have the capability to gain solid consistent yardage they have to regroup come out a bit more motivated next time man left man left four down down 34 is the fight 34 is the fight black easy easy makes the grab and steps out right away when you can move the ball downfield in big chunks like that you've got the defense right where you want them from the 38 yd line first down down 34 Spike 34 Spike he's coming che [Applause] check nice run up the middle that's a gain of six on the that'll make it second and four down down M4 mik 34 he's taken down around the 29 yd line the back gets three on the carry that'll bring up third and two it's third down and they're about two yds shy of the sticks Che there down down Che and they get nice yardage on that run they move the sticks after another first down impressive drive by this offense so far I really like what they're doing by keeping this defense on their heels and moving the ball down field down down there's a strike complete he's tackled around the 17 yd line Kirk that was a nice grab there you know may be simple but whenever you can gain solid yardage you're doing something right they're about four yds away here on second down right right down down check check BL four BL [Music] four fumble they fall on it number 34 covers [Applause] the and so the defense comes up with a fumble is that turnover going to hurt him well every turnover hurts but hopefully for their sake this running back will go out there next time and hold onto the football a little bit better they're going to review this fumble and I've got to tell you I think he was down before the ball popped loose I don't know about this one Brad they called it a fumble on the field and they need indisputable video evidence to overturn this call after review of the play the ruling on the field is reversed so after review they decide that this call should be reversed double tight dou tight down down 34's the mik 34's the mik he's coming check him [Applause] check and they make the stop at the 14 first down pick up by the tail back you can see how comfortable this guy is with that football in his arms four down four down from the 14 yd line it's first down what a play to set him up with a first and goal number 53 brings him down at the three yd line that makes it first and [Music] [Applause] [Music] goal touchdown Alabama a short burst for the scho that's what happens when you can win the war in the trenches down near the goal [Applause] [Music] line and he hits the pat so a nine playay 53 yd drive and it's good for seven points the score now 7 nothing everyone's all lined up and ready for the kickoff and he got all of this one great kick and it goes into the end zone down for a Touchback Alabama's defense is playing lights out right now and pitching a shut up yeah I would not be shocked at all to see this defense be able to maintain this I I just the way they're playing the attitude that they seem to be playing with if they can maintain the energy and the awareness of this offense there's a very good shot that they can shut this offense out pressured and brought down loss of seven yds on the play that'll make it second and one defense looking for another sack in this second down and long situation here we go GRE 19 fires quickly to the tight end tackle made at the 27 yd line number 32 makes the tackle at the 27 yd line third down these fans are showing you why

Touchback they've been like a couple of Fighters feeling each other out so far let's see if they start to open it up a little bit more [Applause] now just throws this one away even though they didn't sack him the pressure was still enough to force bad pass if you can get in there and disrupt the pocket then the quarterback is going to have a tougher time getting the ball to his Playmakers green X

have to love the way he's been running the ball all game he splits the uprights with the extra [Applause] point looks like they're ready for the kick he just drills this one and he's tackled the 20 yard line boy the two offensive coordinators have to be loving this in fact you can look over in our booth next to us and see how much they're enjoying with the big smile on their face the defensive coordinators on the other hand might be looking for a pink slip on Monday momentum swings have been fairly even and with so little separation this game can be drastically changed on just one or two plays he's taken down at the 21 yd line the Bulls taking their first time out of the half from their own 21 yd line Second down hey check 33 check 33 let's go green 19 green9 gets it out to his

will take their second time out of the half 33 second down and 10 to go ball on their own [Applause] 33 fires that quickly incomplete great job by the defense at getting out to that quarterback and right now I think they've got him with some Happy Feet he appears to be a bit rattled so the officials taking a look at this play to see if the receiver got a foot in bounds regardless of the outcome of this review I still think that this guy May an excellent catch after review of the play the ruling on the field is reversed so after some discussion the call on the field is reversed short yardage situation here it's third and one it's arguably the loudest crowd of the nation and they are turning it up a notch makes it to the 47 che che 11 98 weel 98 green 88 green 88 Mo motion he's going to try and scramble he gets sacked on the play absolutely perfect call by the defensive coordinator he brought just the right amount of pressure from the right direction and it seemed to confuse the [Applause] offense he scrambled and they make the stop at around the 40 8 yd line that's a gain of five that makes it third and 11 he's under some heat and he tackles him hard at the 44 yd line Alabama's called their final timeout the sack makes this a fourth and very long it looks like they're going to go after this [Applause] Punt and he makes it out to about the 24 yd line we've played a half of football the Crimson tied in front 14-7 [Music] hi everybody glad to have you with us on the EA Sports NCAA Football 14 halftime show presented by Nissan Innovation that excites this is Davis Dave Pollock here in the studio as always to lend a little perspective to what just went down in the first 30 minutes both teams wanted to establish a running game both teams were stubborn in trying to do so and neither team was successful did you get the sense that defense knew what was coming hey dude first and 10 means run yeah I think I think when you do it every single time it doesn't really uh make it hard for a defense to figure out you can become much more aggressive you got to take some chances I you want to stick with the run you want to have that balance but if you don't push the ball down the field then I never have to honor it so mix in some first down passes and runs that's going to do it at halftime just about ready to start the second half all right you finish it up BR I'm going to get some of the cafeteria I'm hungry but look wait don't leave until you get my order Brad Kirk take the second half and we welcome you back to the action here just about set for the second half he sends this one deep and it goes into the end zone down for a Touchback it's a new possession for this offense so what will it hold down down Alabama is up a score on the ground right side he makes it out maybe to the 26 yd line that's good for a gain of one yd that brings up second and N second and nine coming up here ball on their own 26 orange three orange Three Fires across the middle that's a great tackle at the 49 nice pickup as they connect on the pass play well they look to be in sync right now they're both reading the defense properly and the result is a nice game from their own 49 yd line first [Applause] down he makes it out to Midfield that's a gain of one on the play that brings up second and nine man left man left four down four down Mike 34 mik four scoop

and [Applause] three they need about three yards to get the first here on second [Applause] down the 10 nice play to set up first and goal that the move to chains Alabama first down we're at Play number nine of this current Drive L lry lar M 34 M 34 scoop scoop scop green9 green [Music] [Applause] fires quickly and he's got his receiver for the [Applause] touchdown he flicked his wrist and made the connection to his wide receiver it looked to me that the defense was more worried about the quarterback scrambling and that's why they just gave up that [Applause] touchdown and he adds the extra [Applause] point they line up to kick this one away sends it sailing downfield this one's going to be down in the end zone for a Touchback there's got to be some sense of urgency to this offense right now they don't have the luxury of wasting drives that they want to get back in the game quick throw and he's taken down that's the 48 this quarterback definitely has some confidence in his arm Kirk it sure looks that way that was well covered by the defense and he still got it in [Applause] there first down 10 to go ball on their own 48 you're all mine you're all mine [Applause] baby and he just gets rid of it we got to right T right down down mike check 33 33 go and he's tackled at the 39 there that's a gain of 13 on the play first down we've got a first and 10 ball on the 39 here we go tackle at the 33 the reception gain of six on the play that brings up second and five [Applause] there's a strike complete and he's down Kirk that was a nice grab there you know it may be simple but whenever you can gain solid yardage you're doing something right it's third down and they're about the length of the football away from the first down marker brought down at the 11 yd line that's a gain of 18 on the play that makes it first and [Applause] 10 double tight guys double tight down down three down6 33 33 80 they give to the tailback taken down as he works the left for a nice game

teams mix it up and give the fullback the ball in goal line situations if the big Bruiser can't get you a couple of yards you don't deserve to get in he makes the [Music] pat South Florida to kick he kicks it off and he got all of that one and it goes into the end zone down for a Touchback the Bulls have really surprised everybody in this football game they have not been intimidated at all which is great to see the attitude and effort of this teams put them in a position where they got a shot to win this game here in the second half last Drive ended with as good a result as you can hope for and I'm sure they'd like to replicate that here great passing was the key for the offense the last time they had the ball they were able to pick apart the defense and get down the field for a touchdown he's under some heat fires quickly and he's got his man gain y that'll make it second and [Applause] seven from their own 28 yd line Second down Alabama is up seven r two complete he's got

the back field there was just no daylight on that play and the defensive lineman was a reason well that's one way to get involved in the game great stop in a Back Field so we're looking at another third down here quick we got to move quick right here one of the top stadiums in the nation this crowd comes to play themselves we're still early in the fourth quarter but that was a huge stop and now with the lead they're going to get the football back and an opportunity to stretch the lead 28 yd LS out of bounds with the 27 yd Line This is a pretty crucial Series right here with things being so tight your best players have to step it up on both sides of the ball Alabama up seven [Music] points he's taken down right around the 42 yd line 15 y that's good enough for another Alabama first [Applause] down first and 10 ball on the 42 yd line down m 3 m 3 we go here go green Di [Applause] gains his way to Midfield a nice job by the offensive line and they pick up a gain of eight South

at the 30 yd line number 34 on the tackle at the 30 yd line here we go here we go first down TI right tie right just under 2 minutes in the game we go here we go here we go [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here comes the pressure have you ever heard of sportsmanship you've got a huge lead and you're still throwing the football boy this time is incomplete which stops the clock I'm going to start pulling for the defense to get back into this game here we go here we go and he is drilled at the 32 that is a loss of two yds that brings up third and 12 and this is the eighth play of the drive down [Applause] down kill kill kill yellow three Mo motion yellow three here's a screen pass gets it to the back and he hits him hard at the 36 yd line that's a l of Y on the play that makes it fourth and long they call on the kicker for a long field goal kicks up and the kicking team goes to the sideline very disappointed so we'll change possession with a score 2114 Alabama even in a game this close I think it's going to take something very unexpected to change the outcome but that doesn't mean it won't happen got a man watch out here he's at Midfield he's at the 40 inside the 30 and they push him out at the 19 yd line call it a gain of 45 yds that makes it first and [Applause] 10 it's first down and 10 now after picking up some great yardage through the air set right watch the slam watch the slam fires it quickly this one will fall incomplete he tried to force it to a man that wasn't open and boy was he lucky it wasn't picked off he's got to be more careful when throwing the football into the end zone watch the C watch the C here we go liting throws to the back quickly off his hands incomplete number intended receiver on the play Third and long in the fourth quarter if the defense gets a stop here it might be a w Really one of the very tough places to play in college football and it's no different [Applause] today end zone picked off [Applause] this one's in the books and our final score 214 Alabama the US that's it for this presentation of NCAA Football 14 for Kirk herb street I'm Brad nestler saying thanks and we'll see you soon
