their first win in the month of November for Andy tally he's looking to win one more ball game so he can have a chance to play one more day next week yeah absolutely and let's talk quarterbacks today both areof sophomores Zack bednarik and Taran Christian and both are very mobile as well yeah they certainly are bednarik has 18 touchdown passes on the year just a sophomore but 23 career starts for this young guy on the other side Taran Christian just a sophomore as well 29 touchdown passes on the year he's fourth in the FCS in touchdown passes both guys are exciting quarterback should be a great matchup today I think so too John this is your type of weather today it's cold it's windy it might snow coming up next playoff football ball from ESPN [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 3 Villanova South Dakota State Dana J Dy house stadium and Brooking South Dakota $ 65 million Stadium let's see how Villanova has planned for Success brought to you by Northwestern Mutual and the focus is on this man year 37 as a head coach year number 32 at Villanova the winningest active coach in either FCS or FB yes John yeah he's got tremendous respect around the country you can see that 37 years as a head coach and boy he's going out at the right time at Villanova when we tour it in on I29 North today toward Brookings lots of clouds rolling in no major indicator for snow but you would have fooled us it really looks as if we're going to have some snow before the day is out the winds are strong gusting up to 18 M hour both kickers today try kicking with the win to see how that might affect their game the man they call stigs the MVC coach of the year of course they were co- MBC champions from the Missouri Valley John stigeler and Jim I said month of November month of December this team's looking for their first win in the month of December for South Dakota State you know what I know what you meant it's December and it's cold and we're ready to play 11 Maris Lewis and number one Jacob Brown getting a chance to play today as Mikey Daniel is out for South Dakota state with a shoulder problem so villan nor will kick first that means South Dakota state with its highflying offense 11th in the country at 37 and half points a game we get a chance to draw First Blood [Applause] great FES of audience here as Steve Wier 95 kicks off we're underway it is returnable from inside the five and field position will start just past the 21 yd line tackle made by Austin kitro [Applause] on The Return by number one Jacob Brown the jacks or jack rabbits they're the favorite by about two touchdowns today they get a chance to go on offense first John I watch them as you did ours of tape this week in particular with the game against North Dakota state of Maya they impress it particularly in that late fourth quarter drive to win it yeah and it's no question about it it's left led by this sophomore quarterback you can see 3,300 career or passing yards this year 385 rushing yards so he can do it both ways because Villanova was off sides on the kick we're going to go five yds further back and we'll try it again so already our first penalty right out of the box you and I have had games earlier this year Watching teams like Ball State in the Mid-American Conference where penalties were quite rare to see one right at the start is also unique and part of the reason why both of these teams have had such great success we mentioned the coaches but it's the discipline both of these teams have and what these coaches teach these players so kind of curious to see a penalty right off the start I don't expect we'll see a whole lot of that today that means Steve Wier will start the kick from the 30 yd line a great festive atmosphere today and we are officially underway no off sides this time Jacob br will return inside the 10 cats it up Midfield across the 25 and here we go with the South Dakota State offense tackling that play made by number 56 Jeff Steve let's talk impact players Jake Wii and Dallas Gard are two good wide receivers done and tight ends they could find a lot of activity out there today yeah both of those guys over a th yards this year in receiving yardage and uh what a great defense they're going to go against this is an offense against a great defense too and Rob roll of safety leads the lead the country in interceptions for this team and Pano pasino this guy is going to come off the edge 6'7 defensive end you'll see plenty of him today he has 11 sacks and 21 tackles for losses line of scrimmage 26 playaction to start for Christian ball caught 44 yd line first down on a catch of 18 and a good start for chrisan he's got plenty of guys to throw the football to today reception out of play by Conor l ber and for Lamberg 18th catch of the year and his 209th reception in a very fine career here at SDSU official spot 43 yd line and time being call for the moment as we'll trade footballs this is a big sky officiating crew led by referee Scott root Dave pisinski will be our replay official communicators Zack Schuster will introduce the rest of the guys to you momentary momentarily a lot of misdirection on this team and on that particular car Brady mangarelli carries the football mangarelli is going to get an opportunity probably a few more today in the fact that Mikey Daniels out with shoulder issues Jeff Steve makes the tackle it is a pickup on that play of four to be second and six yeah you're right we will see a lot of mangarelli today not only that Isaac Wallace we found out just before the football game the number two rusher on this football team did not pass concussion protocol so we will not see him today as [Applause] well so the number one offense in a lot of people's minds handicap from the beginning not Christian to car and vov stayed right at home which was the game plan of the Wildcats to make sure that Christian didn't get any penetration he is brought down by Ed shackley the outside linebacker number 33 if Villanova is going to have success today they're going to have to really secure the Edge they've got great linebackers that can run to the football they have two very good defensive ends that can set that edge a guy like shley and Steve and kitro their linebackers will be very active and you know shley said about his head coach on the way out he said we're physical we're hungry and we're going to do this for Coach brings up a third down and six no gain on the play Christian shoots one out of the back field going to be short of the first down by plenty so on the top crost to melli once again vova doing a nice job of staying at home and Jeff Steven ran Stewart have been very active so far so a lot of credit to this Wildcat defense who was just one of the best in FCS J yeah you can see the offensive line that time cutting the defensive ends trying to give her quarterback space to throw the ball to the outside but really this is going to be a feeling out process for this South Dakota State offense against this very good Villanova defense 24 torus Phillips going back to the football at the six makes one man miss goes straight ahead Returns the punt for a total of six yards and Villanova gets its first chance on offense as Kyle Paris goes up to beet him on special teams our chance to introduce Zack bednarik to you it's a left-handed thrower has thrown for 3334 career yards second best this season in the CAA they mentioned it just to sophomore he was forced into action last year in really was not his football team and I mean that from a standpoint being just a freshman they had a guy John Robertson who was one of the top quarterbacks in the country that was hurt so he's really earned the respect to this team this year and that's important for a quarterback particularly when you get to the playoffs we'll do some Zone reads today this time it's just a straight handoff and a pick up of a couple yards on the play the principal running backs are Matt good Zack JV Javon white and Aaron fores and let's talk about impact players for Villanova good Zack Ryan Bell is a terrific tight end on the season with 29 catches and seven scores on the defensive side what do you like about Rose boom and bobit John well Rose boom just a true freshman but over 100 tackles on the year bobbit second on the team in tackles with 95 again two linebackers that are very active but roseboom how about him as a freshman over 100 tackles very active out there on second down play action that narik will tuck and run one of the things he does so very well out of bounds of the 22 it's a pickup of seven yds on the play and good enough for Villanova first down bed narik is a type of guy that's a really a pocket passer he wants to throw the football first but he has the ability to pull it down and do that we mentioned 500 yards rushing on the year had 50 last week against St Francis on eight rushes but very active with his legs he gives you ability to extend plays and do what he needs to do for this Villanova offense yes check that out of bounds the 28 carry of 13 first down for the wild cats no pitch and catch but the problem is the catch on the flat was not made by Jared mclinton who typically lines up in the slot for Andy T and the Wildcats you know what if this team is going to have success today offensively Villanova they're going to have to make those plays South Dakota State Defense very good hold teams all year this is a great matchup of two conferences when you look at these two I think we probably have the best maybe matchup in the country as far as teams that are closely match and that drop reminded me of the Bears game last week against Jacksonville with a wide open receiver in the end zone with a chance for Chicago to win and a drop just like that for moments ago we get to third down after the Tackle by Jared Bloom that's good Zack carries and now Villanova on third down for the season effective at 41% that's top 30 in the country as Andy tally the CEO in his final season of Villanova looks on B narik with time looking over the middle ball caught and the reception inside the 45 yd line huge third down play Jesse bobett makes the tackle but not before Ryan Bell makes his second catch of the game good for 25 yards bed narik has the ability result of the play first down bed narik watch him step up in the pocket here he said he's a pocket passer left-hander as you can clearly see there but who does he find his big guy Ryan Bell two tight ends in this game I Jim I think they're two of the best in the FCS and we're going to get a lot of action with the tight ends and they really making offense go it's the play action fakes that hold the linebackers that allow Bell to get down the middle you know Bell's a walk on it's hard to believe little option right now for bardzik who will keep the football and Carries down to the 32 yd line and he is close to another first down for the Wildcats so they hold serve on defense then a pick up by bed narik of close to 10 and then the Tackle by Zack Brown But Here Comes Villanova so bednarik they run a traditional offense with the one back they hand it to their guys and the ability to play action fake but they're going to throw some option at you too so you have to study a lot of film if you're going to try to stop this Villanova offense two running quarterbacks today and right now it's bed narik who's on the Move Z Reed hand off to good Zack who can run between the tackles and also bounce outside plenty enough for the first down so with nine and change remaining in the first quarter OVA on the move after South Dakota State's Drive stalled around Midfield here's Christian roseon the red shirt freshman you're talking about John and Clint Brown was the guy that recruited him the defensive coordinator we tried to give credit to uh to Stig about that one he said no that's uh that's that's Coach Brown he was after him from day one first and 10 now football at the 30 look that to the 25 or close to the 25 pick up a roughly four before he is brought down now watch the big offensive lineman Nico de D'Angelo out in front here patience from a running back as he just kind of hides behind his big 280 lb left guard as he pulls around to the right side both of these offensive lines very good very experienced and we expect both sides to play well today and they're going to have to against these good defenses second down the Lova approaching the Red Zone in a scoreless football game ball is fumbled then narik fumbles again ball was still loose so two problems for bed narik and fortunately 85 Ryan Bell fell on on it a loss on the play but it could have been much worse for Villanova these are two very good football teams when you talk about turnovers on the year both teams Plus on the year and you can see the defensive player gets his arm or hand right on the arm of bed narik and that ball scoots out they were fortunate to be able to get back on top of it Christian bisek once again active on that South Dakota State Defense third and 10 and a penalty coming up against fanova false start offense number 73 5yd penalty that's on GRE Ethan greenage who has been dealing with a high ankle sprain that pushes ganova five more yards back this is play 10 of the drive coming up but instead is third and short moments ago it is now third and 15 the narik against a four-man Rush shoots one underneath it's not going to be enough for the first down but off the reception by Phillips they picked up a lot of valuable yardage and will leave them in a fourth and short decision and that's a good play call by Villanova it is they let everybody clear out and had a patience of menarik there to wait for his receiver to come underneath and tus Phillips gets him down there close to a situation where they decide they're going to go for it here early in this football game number 28 alen pavani has just come in for Villanova he run some good routes he's a good possession receiver so keep your eye on him on fourth down Villanova has been stying a lot this year 6 for 21 big play Early in the game not going to be enough South Dakota State makes a stand and that jack rabbits get the football bisc up there once again number 69 [Applause] penetration will kill an offense all the time Jesse bobbit the weak side linebacker gets great penetration able to disrupt that no score on the first possessions for both teams under seven first quarter no score here comes some of the snow by the way congratulations to Villanova and the men's team which polished off St Joe today 8857 Jay Wright's team will be the number one team in the country the next poll because UCLA knocked off number one Kentucky and Jay Wright's a big football fan John so he'll get a chance to watch this game as well today and he's got to be impressed as are the Wildcats with the way they've been able to defend so far well first possession they were able to get off the field but this is a very potent offense as we said before South Dakota state has been able to score on everybody all year long the ability to get it done through the air on the ground so mangelli you're going to see we're going to feed him the ball all day long and Jim we're getting our first flurries out there that you predicted I love it got to wonder too about the loss of Mikey Daniel and isaah Wallace you mentioned that in the back field is going to affect this team on a throw out to the flat nothing available all caught by 86 Dallas Gard who is one of three players on this team up for the Payton award and Trey Johnson and the corner was able to make the stop in space yeah he was the field corner he had a guy a receiver out there blocking he fought right through that to be able to disrupt that play and force down out of a third and four situation for South Dakota State B now the single season receptions record with 79 catches and Counting third and three under six for the first [Applause] quarter Christian three-step drop finds a receiver and the sidelines good enough first down good improvise there to Jake Wii and to catch Malik Reeves defending the corner oh he said bed narik has the ability to extend some plays well Karen Christian he's as good as anybody at this he gets recognizes Brian oay coming off the edge just makes a step to the outside and makes an easy throw to Wii as wide receiver that he'll find all day long easy throw for him and easy way to move the chains what a with some NFL possibilities along with Dallas scard and a couple other players out here that will continue to identify as the game goes on play action for Christian first down down the middle of the field What A Catch at the 40 yd line oh my card well that's one of the reasons that people think he's going to be playing on Sundays Mondays and Thursday nights John I told you we have two great tight ends here's an example why what an athlete and here's a guy listed at 6'4 250 lbs he goes up with one hand and just snags it out of the air now over the middle another big play this time it's one key still in a football down to the 16 and here come the jack rabbits and the jack rabbits have picked up the speed and the tempo a little bit once they get Villanova on their heels they're going to go after him fast and you can see the completion down the field again once they get things rolling they really like to go a little bit quicker so a gain of 26 then a gain of 24 as mangarelli carries there off left tackle two plays 50 yards and that's Brian White from his defensive tackle position TJ wh's his brother a member of this team who has seen a lot more action this season than he did last year he played 10 games and made just 13 stops it'll be second down nine yds to go in South Dakota State the first team into the Red Zone in our FCS playoff game Christian from the shotgun a run to the right and now cut it up the middle mangar Straight Ahead he's got the first down well what do they say about Brady mangarelli he's faster than he looks on tape what do you think John and he's pretty powerful too at the end of that run you could see him lowering his head there to get a couple extra yards but he got great blocking up front by his right tackle that time it was tan passer the big defensive end he drove him off the line of scrimmage that time and allowed him to pick up a few extra yards this is where the Wildcat defense is one of the best in the country in the Red Zone fourth they've actually denied a team 12 times without a point they need to come up big here as Christian carries and has met at the line of scrimmage and then maybe gets a yard to bring us to second and goal as this fast moving first quarter is down to 3 minutes Ryan oose makes the tackle for the Wildcats [Music] be interesting to see they're bringing in another defensive back here that's the thing about this South Dakota State offense they can put pressure on you because of their ability to run the football and having that quarterback down there really task the defensive secondary on how they're going to cover yeah this is where they're very effective in the red zone at 85% little fade route got a in Touchdown Dallas sced his 11th touchdown reception of the year and the Jacks strike first what a great match up on the outside you move your tight end well let's call him slash because they put him all over the football field they line him outside and get a matchup 6'4 against 6 foot Malik Reeves on the outside for Villanova and that's really a mismatch youve got that you just throw it up in the air let your big receiver go up and get it let's not even call him a tight end let's just call him an athlete yeah it's well said he can play a lot of spots theer Tren haill to snap Teran Christian to hold and Chase vinet ter I bet that name sounds familiar is Uncle Adam still going strong with the Colts makes it 7even nothing Teran Christian on this drive was seven for [Music] [Applause] seven Dallas Goddard on the receiving end of a short touchdown pass now a School Reception record 81 1176 y this kid can play Anywhere man he's uh he's from South Dakota this weather doesn't bother him any Daren Christian uh let me correct something seven for seven in the game now but six for six on that drive that good sack number 20 is the Deep man for the Wildcats who got stung on this drive moment to go catches at the 11 running to the near side of the field makes one man miss makes another Miss it's a good kickoff return near the 30 yd line still looking for tono passino that great defensive end for Villanova haven't been able to spot him in the game to this [Music] [Applause] point as the snow continues to fall in This Bitter December error we should note that Villanova's headsets are not working so that means the Wildcats offensive coordinator is going to have to move down to the position of the field that's Sam venudo and the reason South Dakota state does not have to put its headsets down is that Villanova brought its own wild cats on offense on first down bardzik may have gotten back to the original line of scrimmage Christian rose bloom Rose Blom doesn't play like a freshman but boy a guy who has 107 tackles and Counting he pretty impressive remember Friday Night Lights I mean is shouldn't he you know I think he is made for that movie you know or that series he just looks the part goodlooking freshman second and 10 late first quarter 7 nothing Jacks B naric play action to the flat Big Time game good Zack still with a football and out of bounds to the 40 yd line you think of him as a running back but for the year he now has 19 catches over 200 yds and a couple scores that was good for 31 and did you see the play action that's what was able to hold Rose Blom up enough where good Zack could sneak right behind him and that's an easy throw for bed narik you can see he's got great touch on his long balls he can just Loft it and let it fall into his receiver's hands he throws a very catchable football that's a good way to neutralize those linebackers with rose boom right at the middle of it as you mentioned John just slow him down a little bit and now the footballs into South Dakota State territory at the 40 cres set of downs bed narik in trouble and sacked and a loss of nine they just ate him up penetration from the inside watch he had nowhere to go he likes to step up in the pocket but because you got a great push up front nowhere to go with the foot football bed narik doesn't turn it over very often he just tucks it and takes the sack Blake Whit cell and Ryan ith 99 and 90 with a de green and there's aith a freshman from Nebraska a year ago Ben narik May throw that ball into South Dakota State's hands and kind of a gunslinger his first year and that's what his coaches really said he's gotten better at this year 10 interceptions on the year but a much better job of taking care of the ball vova their first cars time out the play clock winding down Villanova has to burn a timeout with 65 seconds remaining in the first quarter it's a good start from Villanova in the playoffs last week against St Francis in that game the Wildcats got off to a huge start in the first quarter leading 177 and eventually Villanova expanded that lead to 317 playing on its home turf we see Andy tally bringing out one little kids over there they got that thing started early as Aaron forb scored and then he went to the air to Jarett mclinton on the pass from bed narik and they were off and running and a little play action from bed narik the left-handed thrower finding an easy toss to Ryan Bell again this is Andy Tally's final season he says after this they're going to kick him to am Merit status and he'll have his uh he'll have his own room they're working on the headsets right now trying to get them operating but again they have moved venudo from upstairs to downstairs for the time being but Nars s flushed out shooting one down the field nobody there and he just wasted a pass there as Helen Sul or solic was in P pursuit of him he's had several two sack games this year so now Villanova in a third and very long john what do you throw here do you try to make up some of the distance or you shoot for the first down well I think you got to find somebody tried to get him maybe down the middle but looks like this South Dakota State Defense going to play three deep five under here I don't think they'll probably Rush three and that's what it looks like right now so tough sledding right now for Villanova being third down and backed up as far as they are sling the appropriate word as clouds and snow continue to move in they'll go underneath and that'll bring him to fourth down the Villanova will have to give up the football now because you drop three very deep and you've got eight underneath there just with only three man rushing that time nowhere to go with the football down the field you just pick up what you can punt it away and try to play a field position [Applause] game 94 John hinin who was born in Melbourne Australia his dad played 13 years of Australian Rules Football that's football John without a helmet that's a tough cap man oh he's only ping this one will not be fielded and we head into the End Zone 4 seconds to go first [Music] half check that first quarter I'm moving us along a little too quickly [Applause] here and for Tal's team already behind 7 nothing let's find a way to pin the jack rabbits further back in their own territory the winner it's either San Diego or North Dakota state that game is starting in fact just officially underway in Fargo North Dakota will it be a rematch of South Dakota State North Dakota State next week thinking about Villanova coming here playing in this weather a little bit of snow that's not going to bother bother them when you look at their conference include Maine and New Hampshire two places that are very cold and can be snowy at times too Christian now eight for eight throwing the football and on first down just a little toss to his left picks up about nine yds additional after the catch Maris Lewis with the first down Brian White with a tackle and the Jacks with a first quarter lead after one here on ESPN 3 the NCA FCS second round 7even nothing [Music] it's the NCAA FCS second round presented by Northwestern Mutual Jim Barber and John Greger who has played in weather far worse than this at Marshall at least I think he has South to go to stay with the football to start that second quarter of play score updates James Madison leading New Hampshire at the break 31-7 first half almost over between Youngtown State and Jacksonville State Youngstown leading 2017 Sam Houston State two first quarter touchdowns on Chattanooga 14- nothing and further north at the Fargo Dom North Dakota State San Diego no score two minutes in first [Applause] quarter down Taran Christian starting quarterback to the jack rabbits 8 for8 today for 89 and a touchdown the oper Tak from the shotgun and we'll hand it off in a big hole on the right side we'll leave him with a third and manageable Kyle Paris getting his first carries a good goal line running back downhill physical kind of kind of guy you like in this type of weather huh yeah it is and a guy that as you said before typically he'll play and get a shot down by the goal line but remember Isaac Wallace out of this football game along with Daniel the running back so he may get the opportunity to spell mangarelli when he's in the ball game give him an opportunity to get a breather on the sideline Mikey has shoulder issues and Wallace did not pass concussion protocol and the wild cats make a stand on third down Villanova is one of the best top five in the country at third down stops and as a result with Jeff wy's tackle fanova gets the football back 49 Brady hail now coming up with his second pun of the game after 43 the first time then starts to whip around these snowflakes a little stronger Gus near 20 mph Taurus Phillips back to return what a kick from the line of scrimmage the 39 to the end zone 61 and that a 41 back with more on ESPN 3 of the playoffs the snow continues to pick up let's review Villanova's season three losses among the nine wins to pit holding pit to under 90 yards rushing it's a game to John had a chance to witness up close in personal and then losses to teams ranked at the time number six in the country JMU and Richmond a couple of those losses two teams in the FCS playoff and you mentioned before pit had the opportunity to see them first game this year good Zack bounces to the outside and at first down they'll spot him out of bounds in the 35 and a pickup of 15 yds for the junior out of Tom's River New Jersey Christian roseboom hunted him down good Zach's the type of guy that you like to run between the tackles but he can fool you with some speed to the outside we mentioned that game against Pittsburgh at the beginning of the year he didn't get to play in that football game and they missed him in it before Bo Villanova certainly competed in that game defensively played very well and they could have used him on the offensive side good Zack had a quad injury that kept him immobile for the first four games and you mentioned Christian roseboom at his linebacker spot already four tackles to this point 7 nothing South Dakota State on a short toss from quarterback Taran Christian to Dallas GD in the first quarter [Applause] there's Ryan Bell who's made a couple of huge receptions for Villanova even the Wildcats have yet to score bed nark looking to his right and throwing good Zack with a catch but only a reception and run for two that puts Villanova in another third and long not a spot that the Wildcats want to be in as Jesse bobit is up to make the stop that was a good play call in the fact that they anticipated anticipated a blitz coming and you could see the quarterback that time B narik recognizing it just getting it to his outside guys had some blocks down the field but just too many dark shirts there in the way nowhere to go for Villanova with the football well Clint Brown had his preference as defensive coordinator of the Jacks he would pressure as much as possible and do it early in this game leaving his corters out on an island bardzik out of trouble for the moment and throwing middle of the field good quarterback recognition able to hit Aaron Forbes he is going to be short by about a yard however fourth and one as Dallas Brown hit him before he got to the 45 and now a decision for this offense of Villanova yeah we saw Villanova go for it earlier in this football game it looks like now he's going to elect to punt this thing away but how about that throw across the body body for bednarik as he was going to his left a left-handed quarterback and boy he threw that way back to the center of the field that's a dangerous throw but able to get away with it I believe you saw Mark fanti in your picture moments ago he is the coach and waiting longtime assistant under Andy tally back he actually played for Andy at another school besides Villanova and we have a whistle and a timeout is going to be taken by the wats Villanova their second charge timeout the first half hey John you think they're going to they're going to rethink this thing here I don't know we'll take a look after we get a break fourth and one decision time for Villanova in a 7even nothing game as the weather starts to become an element here in [Music] Brookings ESP ESPN's coverage of the FCS championships continues quarterfinals Friday 7 Eastern on ESPN 2 for more info on the nca.com the official online home for all 90 NCA championships you can tell by the crowd wild cats have change their mind they're going to go for it on fourth and one big play here good didn't make it South Dakota state football 94 Kellen solik with a tackle he said penetration kills this time soic this time gets inside watch the penetration he gets hits his big arm on that leg of the running back there good Zack not going anywhere after that he made the initial contact had some help but that's the second time this Villanova team has gone for on fourth down in the second time but South Dakota State's defense has rised to the occasion well they say Sonic has played in the shadows of Cole Langer on the defensive front line but he's had a kind of a coming out party lately and it includes a pick six this year yeah had that against Northern Iowa and he leads this team in sacks and tackles for l so been doing it all year long meanwhile while as they say at the Fargo Dome MJ stump 40 yd return for Touchdown bison lead in its game against San Diego 7 nothing early second quarter the winner of that game faces the winner of the game you're viewing here on ESPN [Music] 3 tan Christian still pitching a perfect game8 for eight for 89 yards and the score the only score of this game pretty good numbers for the offensive player of the year in the Missouri Valley Football Conference second down and eight n and a half to go in the first [Applause] half and gelli bouns it to the outside makes a man miss and it gets swallowed up at the 41 yd line short gain on the play that's ran Stewart up to make the tackle Stewart was really highly recruited out of high school and and they say he's a pretty good tackler we'll watch him at the end into this physical size and strength for the free safety position very good so Stewart was one of those guys that you want to have on your football team when his coaches went after him out of high school glad they've got him Kid born in New Orleans Louisiana it is third and six Wildcat defense minus one drive has been tough today Christian out the backfield first down to NS some to the 30yd line simp catch and throw the throw and catch and mangarelli gets the first down jaon Johnson at shley up to meet him and so the chains move and so does this drive for the jack rabbits you said an easy throw but the reason why that play worked is he had two great blocks out there by his wide receivers you know not everyone's going to catch the football in every play but you got to be able to block downfield he had two guys down there that were able to get on their man and allow him to pick up the first down to this Point Taran Christian has had five passes of 10 yards or [Applause] better right now the injured player is robero he would be a tough loss for Villanova plays that free safety position also can play in the box and a fumble return against pit for a touchdown and he is tied for first in the NCA in picks with seven looks like they're looking at his eye there and boy you're right wouldn't that be a loss he's the number one player in the FCS and interceptions this year was seven and they need him against a team like South Dakota state that likes to throw the ball around hopefully maybe it's just a contact if contact lens or something like that that's bothering well good luck trying to find it on the field [Applause] [Music] right with play resumes first and 10 for South Dakota State this is uh Laurel and Hardy weather and folks here love it you know what I've only been here for 48 hours I like it too I do [Applause] [Music] too from the 30 yd line there was some movement play moves on Christian going to shoot it down the field incomplete at the five take a look at the physical contact and how number four Rob roll got right in the middle of it and then rolled back that's the first incompletion for Taran Christian after hitting nine [Applause] straight it's a roll being examined could be an elbow problem we'll wait to hear a little more and it is now second and 10 808 left first half Christian after the clap of the hands to thr it the near side not much available there and on the reception number 10 Alex Wy Trey Johnson who has been also active from that safety position and went to and this will sound familiar John Stein Berner High School in Tampa Florida named after the boss the former un late own of New York Yankees George St and Johnson that guy that's a can be a field corner or bound boundary Corner a guy that gets involved in the Run game and you can see that last play there his ability to get to the receiver in a hurry timeout Villanova their final charge timeout the first half 32 timeout in the meantime the jack rabbits have all three timeouts remaining let's step aside we're halfway through the second quarter South Dakota when we come back as a third and [Music] five seing capacity for this Dyke house stadium is 19,340 on third down South Dakota state is two of four and on the season converting almost 50% of third down opportunities teren Christian against a three-man rush and they're still putting pressure on him and he falls back at the 42 yd line a loss of 17 this is with a three-man front and dropping eight War you're right here watch Wy get to the outside the defensive end here as Christian tries to get to the outside you know what he does is he stays wider than him that's that edge we were talking about not letting the quarterback get outside and Jeff Wy just a freshman makes a great play there and his defensive teammates recognize what he did on that play in the meantime Rob R has headed to the locker room as they try to examine what problems he may be having with his eye now a penalty flag and that's going to be a false start number 32 5yd penalty fourth down it's not entirely a bad thing because the punt will give them five more yards of space to kick a penalty on the running back Kyle paris4 that's our referee Scott Ruth the umpire's Chuck Butterfield head linesman Terry White Rob quell is the line judge side judge Jeffrey Young field judge is Daniel Wilkins the back judge Chris story and Dave hinski as our replay [Applause] official big Scott conference ball Landing Gunners can't get to it and the football will come back to the 20 yd line donets revisit the brackets we know who the favorite is but today Jacksonville State and somebody quite familiar to Nebraska football fans is leading his team over Youngstown State 20 to 17 a lot of people think the Citadel is going to be a tough out and uh how about three Dakota teams playing all within what 300 miles of each other today yeah James Madison is having its way against New Hampshire 317 now it is 3115 in the third quarter yeah the one thing you notice about all of that of both of the teams today they represent a conf both conferences that have put a lot of teams into this FCS Championship Playoff and updating North Dakota State it is still 7 nothing in that game 640 to go first quarter well San Diego two years ago had to go to Montana to play and now it's up in Fargo so it it pays to get a buy if you can or for in position to not have to uh play so far away and in a cold environment yeah unfortunately for them though they're in a dome so that's true they get a little bit of a break today that is a big help they are going up against the crowd though which can be uh pretty Lively there yeah worse than snow right yep second and four under six to go first half wildcast hanging tough bardic over the middle he got a in and up to Midfield Big Time play by Jared mclinton Clinton the sophomore receiver from Pennsylvania brought down by micaa Slade just five 7 155 lbs they list mclinton at and surprised we haven't seen a little bit more of him you could see him come across the field there finding a void in the defense and B narik doing a nice job getting the football he's a guy you'll see jet sweeps with him a lot of motion we have not seen that out of the offense so far today that play on good for 21 still a 7 nothing football game as the wild cats defense has kept them alive and good Zack now running behind his front five and able to carry for a first down of 10 yards he's got some pretty good Fellas up there Brad seon Nico D'Angelo Matt donu ly chazzer and along with Louie Ethan greenich donu and chazar that time boy they were leading the way they had nobody to blocked everybody was gone so they were looking around trying to find somebody but the thing you want to do there is keeping your head moving on a swivel find somebody can go after first and 10 option pitch at the last minute for a loss of close to five yards good Zack was lucky even caught it before he got snowed under so to speak by Dallas Brown Dallas Brown does a nice job of watching watch he plays the running back here underneath and then he recognized the pitch going to the outside and he gets out there and good Zach nowhere to go a great recognition and way to string it out Dallas Brown officially a of three second and 13 keep in mind wild cats out of timeouts play clock at five down to one got the playoff Here Comes pressure the throw incomplete trying to hit Alex pavani on the outside brings us to third and 13 bed narik typically a guy that's very accurate with the football over 60% completions on the year 66% last game and that one just seemed to get away from the Lefty Zachs number so far today in the snow 7 of 10 for 105 needs to pick up a bunch here got out of trouble for the moment still going with a football and it'll be fourth and short and bardzik took what could have been a huge loss into a positive game South Dakota State's defense that time had two deep they had man under coverage that time and when you play that type of defense this is really the only play that you have as a quarterback because it'll run off those Defenders as they're starting to cover man-to-man coverage and by the time you recognize it the quarterback could be 5 10 yds down the field so it was a big pickup here and made it fourth and manageable that's a look at Christian Rose boom his defense set to go to war here on Fourth and four play clock at two then Nars at quick throw on the slant caught by mclinton should be enough for the first down that's a almost impossible play to defend and it's a it's a hot read by the quarterback to his receiver mlon with a catch move the chains tackle made by Chris bolster it happen so so quick you have to have a an excellent throw and good hands by the receiver that time we mentioned mclinton just 57 155 lbs he knows he's going to take a hit on that but able to hold on to it to pick up a big first down for Villanova and that keeps the football out of that high flying offense of South Dakota state which has been sty made really for the most part today press set of downs from the 32 touchdown an extra point with Ty intended for Brad chadborn who has some of the better hands on the receiving core stops the clock with 241 left Bo he had Taurus Phillips coming across the middle of the field that time it almost like Phillips needed to recognize that it was Zone coverage and just sit there and give bednarik an opportunity to throw it to somebody he was running across the field like it was man coverage and bednarik would have led him right into a Defender so good choice to really just throw that football away John in this kind of swirling snow and wi can you even think field goal as you get closer well they they want to get some points on the board somehow some way in this first half Aaron Forbes carries the football he suffered through some ankle problems in the year appears to be healthy today Jesse bobit Rose boom up to make the tackle well the coaches say well by December everybody's been banged up a little bit we're not kidding gb's a guy that's averaging over for six yards every time he touches the football per Rush that leads this football team and has eight Rush TDS on the year another important play of the game on third and four football the 26 B narik trying to set up a screen and let number 20 do the rest that good Zack with those great feat and that great Instinct for the first down marker gets it to the 18 yd line and a pick up eight and more importantly a first down and a great play call here anticipating maybe you're going to get a blitz and you could see the lineman out front that time the timing of that screen was perfect and you got to be a football team that you just don't put that late in the year that's a thing you develop over the year timing on screens are so important he gets the blocks and the first down Nova now eight first downs in the game John quarterback keep that narik inside the 15 no timeouts remaining for the Wildcats but no need to dramatically hurry here either because the longer you take the less possibility that the Jack Rapids will get the ball back Andy tally here final season after 32 years at Villanova he took over in the early 80s when Villanova didn't even have a football team and a penalty flag L clock is not the the issue here so let's see what is there's no foul on the play all right that explains it simple as that 12th play of the drive clock starts again and we are now officially under a minute and eventually Villanova will have to go with some urgency especially if they run a play and the clock continues to move play clock now down to eight 45 for the first half bardzik little freeze option out to the near side clock continues to move though after the catch it's a first down it will stop for a second and then a restart on the reception by patavani patavani only had eight receptions coming into this football game all year long he's been a big play guy on those eight receptions averaging over 22 yds per catch so getting a lot of action today back in the line after being injured so what do you do here with no timeouts left yeah I look for my big tight end Ryan Bell he's dangerous down by the goal line you have to keep an eye on him he's 85 Ben narik looking for him flushed out going to throw to the endzone ball up for grabs and knocked down with 14 to [Music] [Applause] go Dallas Brown back defending presenting this preventing the score and it'll be second and goal with 14 left and that ball was intended for Ryan Bell the tight end not the way he wanted to get it to him they were looking to get it to him quickly out in the flat but the narik extending the play as bell comes off the field here again no timeouts remaining in the first half for the Wildcats second and goal down seven nothing and up Dakota state will use a timeout that allows the Wildcats to reset their offense John and I would think that'd be important with the fact that the cats have no first half timeouts remaining we mentioned that Andy tally took over in 84 let's go back to that hallowed year the Apple computer replaces the Mac the death of soul singer and Legend Marvin Gay the Soviet Union had a big- Time boycott the boss released his album Born in the USA Jeopardy started its syndicated version Ronald Reagan became president Marshall University John Gregory is Alma moer first winning season of 20 years but he did it before John uh that's probably the most important of all those facts we came up with yeah they set the tone and we just tried to build on it but I gotcha well the dedication to Andy tally and his final season is most evident here in fact uh if you go on campus you see one of those Fatheads that resembles the coach pleasure to talk to and will this be his final game or will Villanova play on now Villanova's offense changa haaj number 88 inserted into this ball game we haven't seen him I was thinking possibly that they could use him a great freshman wide receiver and go to that wide side of the field but they've got two Defenders out there to match him up he is number 88 in white and narik got to keep the play going Looking In The End Zone and throwing it away so we're down to seven that's a smart play because if he takes a sack as solic was pursuing him then the first half is over or he had Aaron Forbes he was too far to his left side there is a perfect look right there Aaron Forbes was open he didn't realize there was somebody behind him on the defensive side that time and Jesse Bobby coming to cover him he was waiting just waiting for him to pick it off wholesale substitutions for the Wildcats as they play into the end zone with the snowers coming in and they have decided to not risk the possibility of not scoring at all and Gerard Smith is on for an attempt at field goal with John hinin to hold and before that happens jack rabbits take another timeout this to be a 23 yd attempt now what about the strategy here John not going for the touchdown the tie and attempting the field goal instead yeah I think it's a good decision you want to get some points on the board before this half ends and too too close of a game not to do that defense has been the biggest factor in this game we've seen only one touchdown turnovers have certainly been at a minimum but these stops by both teams on third down have been really impressive it's what we thought coming into this game we thought Villanova's offense against South Dakota opposite of that South Dakota State's offense against Villanova's defense but both of these defenses have stood up today and Villanova trying to get some points on the board here late thought that was interesting it was South Dakota State called the timeout it looked like the play clock was going to run out I thought if it did no big deal you back up back it up a little bit and get a better Angle now a change of heart which Villanova did earlier 7 Seconds To Go third and six in South Dakota state recognizes that this wasn't likely the play they were going to see and so now the jack rabbits take a timeouts well what do they call that in football chess match out I like it yeah it won't surprise me if Andy thally goes back to kicking the football here now well what's the best decision in your opinion at this point of the game I think you kick the field goal and get the points on the board you're going to need them in the second half anyway so uh why not take the three points now pH vova does get the football to start the second half this is how the Wildcats from Villanova PA are keeping warm today temperatures in the 30s it has dropped though because of the snow and the wind that's been apparent here next week the real Arctic freeze comes in so you and I are getting out just in time it's going to be 15 below wind chills they say I'd come back I'd be happy to do that this is great atmosphere what a beautiful Stadium brand new facility well if they can complete a play in less than 7 seconds if it's unsuccessful they can still try a field goal as long as the clock stops then narik over the middle ball caught is it enough touchdown what a big time play Alex patavani on the reception Villanova gambl and wins boy and you're right it's a gamble because if he doesn't make it into the end zone then the time's going to run out and there's not going to be a score touchdown is under further review and they're going to take a look at this and my first indication or First Look says maybe he does not get it across the goal line here well in the snow it may be difficult to see the replays that the Big Sky officials like Dave pisinski will see are the ones we're presenting to you and they're going to take a little bit of time on this one body doesn't have to be across cross the goal the ball does and it takes indisputable video evidence to overrule the call on the field that's why the calls on the field are so significant and that call was a touchdown there and like you said I don't know if there's enough evidence to overturn that that was probably the best look that we had on that last play and you know when he made the catch he turned toward his left and maybe the nose of that football was on the goal line the official was right there with a great look at it so we'll see but for Villanova boy after review the ruling on the field stands touchdown how key was that for them to be able to get that across the goal line because there would not have been enough time to get to the line of scrimmage and run another play Villanova six points sitting on seven that would tie the [Applause] game Holland Lyndon will snap John hinin third string quarterback and punter will hold and Gerard Smith will try to tie the game vova 7 South Dakota State 7 you know what it's Andy Tally's last year why not go for it huh it's the playoffs that's right no risk no gain well you instead of three you get the seven just and we saw him twice during that first half on fourth down go for it and you may be right you know he's got nothing to lose who's going to look at him and say ah you should have went for it right sure and we have the luxury of pinning him down and asking him here in a matter of a couple seconds MH good looking drive in that snow 15 plays 80 yards in 6 and 1/2 minutes and it ties the game at seven and in the shades of Bill Bel of New England you score at the end of the first half you get the ball to start the second half to try to score B's made a career on being successful at that over his years as head of New England isn't it funny how it works out that way for the good teams right yeah what makes some good teams I guess that's right and halftime we'll visit a uh man who still keeps statistics at age 106 at the University of Virginia great feature you want to join us then clock does not move so there is still time for a play left I believe one second tipped off the clock and Andy Telly the head coach of Villanova telling his guys back up there's still time left for [Applause] one the Wildcats came with their calling card a defense and that has made a huge difference today holding a team in South Dakota State averaging 37 points a game and I think Andy tally when you were saying everybody move back I think he was telling his team to go into the locker room he's arguing right right now that two seconds had to have come off the clock in that situation there so he's not happy with the officials right now got three Defenders as close as the 30 yd line Christian will throw on first down down the middle of the field in complete first half over what a first half it's been South Dakota State struck in the first quarter at a seven nothing lead and the ball moments later Villanova makes a stand and then the Wildcats March 80 yards in 15 plays in 6 and 1/2 minutes and tie the game on a very gutsy call by the Villanova coaching staff to negate the field goal attempt and Shu for the touchdown that was accomplished with two seconds to go Andy Telly this final season the Wildcats coach let's talk about the move you made at the first half what made you decide to change your mind from a field goal attempt to a touchdown well you know we're playing to win uh I think they're a little better than us and right now things weren't going our way I just tried to change the momentum same reason why I went for it on fourth down at Midfield I mean you got to play man we're in a playoff game fighting for our life you got to go for it I love it you know offensively they're very good on the offensive side you guys are on the defensive side what do you tell your team in the locker room at halftime well you know Tano pasho was out of the game he tore his thumb up but he's back now and that'll help us we were trying to hold hold it until he got back but you know hey it's 7 seven game we're we're in it man we're playing we're playing to win and we're going to take whatever chances we got to take thank you Andy good luck go get warm please okay great thanks 77 at the break we come back we're going to visit the an oldtime statistician literally at age 106 here on ESPN 3 as the second round of the NCA FCS playoffs got a good one here the game tied of the break [Applause] [Music] about set to start the third quarter John selm the head coach of South Dakota State joins us John on the scoring drive for the jack rabbits you accomplished 76 yards overall for the first half just 120 what are they doing that's keeping you at Bay well they're getting off of blocks on our runs and making plays you know we've got them blocked we just got to stay on blocks and then they're very quick you can see them close uh real fast on the perimeter and uh we just again we need to stay in blocks be patient when we get a chance to make a play make a play defensively coach you guys have been able to hold them to seven points they score late in that ball game down there what do you tell your team at halftime after the late score for banova I told them they they're guaranteed one half of football left we got 19 seniors that uh I know that hit him in the heart but that motivates him so that's what we got left we got to play our best football thank you John you bet updating North Dakota State 14 nothing scored that game that has now reached halftime in favor of the defending Champion bison taking a look at South Dakota State warming up right now that's the quarterback Taran Christian and you saw moments earlier in your picture as well Christian roseboom couple of injury updates for Villanova mentioned we had not seen tenno pasino and Tano actually played one down in the first half tore up his thumb he has been repaired since then he will play the second half and Rob roll they're fine free safety has an eye injury he is questionable for the second half so you're up to speed now we're set to start the third quarter and Villanova gets the ball first Bo and that was a defense that played pretty good against a team that puts a lot of points on the board without your number one defensive end a guy with 21 A2 tackles for loss 11 sacks on the year Tano passo big number 92 you can't miss him there 6'7 209 0 lb he's taped up the thumb done whatever he's needed to do and jumping around looks like he's ready to go yeah you have that feeling that if he's able to use that hand and get himself wrapped around a quarterback he'll be just fine he stands at 67 he has 290 lb the NFL is already taking a look at a guy that the coaching staff feels has a lot of Pro Tools still raw they feel in a lot of ways so still developing his game and for his career he's forced four fumbles recovered three fumbles also blocked three kicks for the Wildcats Matt GAC 20 is deep could be a very entertaining and dramatic second half in a game a lot closer than many people thought good Zack and to the snow with a reception from the [Applause] four and he carries across the 20 yd line that's where the Wildcats will start the second half winner faces either San Diego or North Dakota State again that's a 14- nothing score in favor of North Dakota State and an injured player on the opening kickoff of this second half that's Cody Haslett number [Applause] [Applause] 12 he is the starting Sam linebacker ER for the jack rabbits see if he's able to go when his team is out on defense and actually they're defensively set now so he will have to miss a play or two Zack bardzik the quarterback to the flat dangerous pass that could have been a pick six Dallas Brown was in perfect position to catch and return it for a score now Brown gets there in hurry too he recognizes this and he had a choice there either try to go through the football it looks like the receiver was yeah excuse me that's Jordan Brown yeah between him and the ball that time so he goes through the receiver toward the football and dislodges that nice play by Brown getting there in a hurry second and 10 they run to the outside and a Jet Sweep and Jared mclinton is dropped for a huge loss near the 15 yd line Ryan arth number 90 was chasing him down and he had plenty of help in that secondary as well from Chris bolster there was a flag on the play illegal block below the waist number 25 offense 15yd penalty second down well the wild catch John into the first half with great momentum and they're starting to negate some of that to start the second half yeah and that's something that they did right there when you could see Jared mclinton coming coming around as a wide receiver that is a a lot more like their offense runs they do a lot of Jet Sweep we didn't see that in the first half and interesting that they decide they're going to come out in the second half and use mclinton the wide receiver slash running back he's actually got more rushes than he does receiving penalty was declined third and very long third and 15 B narik against the fourman rush will keep the football and be tackled in open space at the 23 yd line so that stalls the drive got some of those yards back open field Tackle by Callen solik and so the football goes back to the Jacks number let's go out one play soic he mentions his name quite a bit today so far and his ability to get to the quarterback and penetrate that time he recognized it you're talking about a nose guard that's 20 320 lbs able to come off the line of scrimmage and Chase down the quarterback John henin is back at his 10 to punt for [Applause] fanova now it looks like everybody set on both sides of the [Applause] ball play clock at seven Villanova taking its time a lowline drive kick and despite the fall good field position for the rabbits at the 48 yd line on the catch out on the field by Maris [Music] Lewis go back to October inside the Fargo Dome North Dakota State South Dakota State jack rabbits have to make up two touchdowns halfway through the third quarter well there's one of them the Dallas gard and with time running out and down by four it's Gard again In The End Zone shakes off his man the jack rabbits wi it actually that was Jake Wii with a catch and they stun the Bison 197 in the third quarter this year the Jack rabits have outscored their opponents 122 to 56 North Dakota State on an East and stick touchdown throw now leading San Diego 21 nothing just about to go to half at the Dome South Dakota State lost to that North Dakota State in 2014 on the last play of the game they have Mantra since then that said hey last second and they talk about that all the time well how about that last play of the game they win or last plays the Mantra and they win on the last second yeah exactly could be a rematch but Villanova right now is holding strong and trying to prolong the season of retiring coach Andy tally Taran Christian's got him in 30 yd line incomplete had Gard as his intended receiver let's talk about how Villanova has defended guys like gard and Jake Wii so far today John well they doing a nice job of taking away the middle of the field a place that Godard likes to live down there and had a lot of success but I would continue to go to that guy he's that good of an athlete you have to find a way to get him the football and it seems to me after those first two plays that Jack Rabbit offense decide they're going to start to open it up a little bit more here in the second half you saw in your picture number six Jason cus and ran Stewart back in that secondary for OVA got to pick up 10 here to keep the drive going Christian on the move and throwing on the run and he one hopped it at the 40 yd line and so Villanova despite on a short punt having to defend just half the field able to do just that yeah their defense did what they needed to do was get off the field quickly and win a field position battle and now it's up to their punter to try to keep him in the same situation but you can see passing know that time for Villanova the big defensive end we mentioned he was the guy on the chase that time of the quarterback this is Brady hail's fourth kick of the game and Jason cus is [Applause] deep our referee scoot Scott root [Applause] there's no foul on the play fourth down Big Sky officiating crew today flags are pick up and now we're get set to punt and Brady hail who averages on the season 42 yards a punt and today has one that reached 61 yards is ready to go a Christian got off to that electric start hitting his first eight a nine of nine and since then he is just one of six for five yds still the Gunners do their work for South Dakota State and a Pinn Villanova deep good play out there by Dalton Cox 53 it's the NCAA FCS second round presented by Northwestern Mutual two minutes gone by second half John Gregory Jim Barber our excellent EA ASN Crew live from South Dakota in a 77 game and this is Villanova on offense 90 yards away from the [Applause] lead at good Zack carries for the day 11 carries for 43 yards Cole Langer teams up with solic from that inside position defensively up to make a tackle [Applause] no fumbles in this game no picks so far despite the weather very well played football game minimal amount of penalties and on the receiving end Tes Phillips gets the first down gets a out of difficulty that's some of that motion we were talking about with wide receivers that time they had Taurus Phillips come in they had three wide outs to The Far Side of the field they MH him in in and then really hit him behind that big offensive line he came across the field into the flat wide open nice well played or welld designed play that time for Villanova able to get out of some difficulty there John up to the 25 yd line if Villanova wins it would head to North Dakota state if the Bison win if the Bison lose Villanova likely would be hosting next week with the victory here today good Zack off tackle for a couple mentioned so so much about how Nova's defense is so strong but South Dakota State's defense has had its moments this year and I think back to the fact that they allowed 28 points a game but they've been effective in the Red Zone on a number of occasions this year and right now they're locked in a real defensive duel yeah one thing they've done and when we talked with the coaches this week they wanted to take away the run from Villanova where they've had some success doing that you haven't seen Villanova break anything long to this point and narik would like to change that on second and eight ball caught 40 yd line Ryan Bell on the reception that's his very handy tight end and it's a first down Jesse bobit was defending I said B narik likes to throw the the long pass he's got great touch this one he under threw it looks like he had Bell to the outside just wanted to lead him toward the sideline and Bell had to come back and make a nice play on this cuz the defender was in his face the defender didn't know the ball was coming so it's a first down now at the 41 of Villanova a lot of misdirection on first down and on the play a simple carry by Javon white out of Telford Pennsylvania both Rose boom and bobbit up to greet him they have combined on a number of tackles today it is second down one thing Villanova is winning today John is time of possession and wild cats felt if they able to do that they could win the football game they are a team that has done that all year long their ability to be balanced and they're a team that you know their number is 30 they have to score 30 points when they do that they're a team that has a lot of success they release good Zack instead go over the middle to Bell who's going to be a couple of yards [Applause] short Ryan Bell now his third reception of the game Dallas brown with a tackle brings us to Third and two so you're Sam Bono the offensive coordinator been throwing a lot of misdirection out there what do you like here on third down well I like to roll my quarterback here and give him a run pass threat and see what happens because remember throughout that first half every time they've tried to run it on fourth down this South Dakota State Defense has been up to the task to stop them wild CS it hit two of their last three on third down going with a hand off to the end and it should be enough for the first down by Jared mclinton can play in that slot the outside receiver can be a ball carrier on a Jet Sweep he does a myriad of things as Bisk makes the tackle but not before the sticks move again and more clock continues to move as well Aaron Forbes got a great block that time if he doesn't get the block out front there then there's no way they pick up that first down but he was able to cut the defender and because of that a their their back was able to get another half yard Villanova now 13 first downs to the game just seven for the jack rabbits fresh set of downs now into stsu territory narik down a man little field he's got a man and it's incomplete oh man patavani had a chance at around the 10 yd line it goes as a long incompleted pass boy patavani had to slow down just a bit B narik let this ball go it looked like his right foot slipped out and really kind of threw that behind him but this is a ball that patavani will tell you all the time that he should have come up with here and that was a big opportunity to make a big play we said before 22 and A2 yards per catch patavani had coming into this ball game a big play receiver for this team his face getting a little muddied so far here as they go back to work Andy T 32 Seasons at Villanova and now the Wildcats will use a timeout and you always wonder about burning timeouts early in the third quarter when you're not near the goal line no and you remember what happened at the end of the first half they were out of timeouts there and fortunately they were able to get that score because that time would have run out for [Applause] [Music] them let's take a TV timeout 6 minutes into the third [Music] quarter James Madison putting the wood to New Hampshire today 5515 Bryan Shore has thrown for 371 and five touchdown passes back here 77 game Wildcat second and 10 just inside stsu territory Jim Barber John Gregory good looking football game today in the playoffs play action bed narik throwing got a man wide open 25 yd line ball caught from first down Taurus Phillips on yet another big reception for the Wildcats we've seen this Villanova offense play fake the quarterback we actually got F number 79 15yd penalty second down brat seon it's called for a blow to the face it's going to cost him 15 yards and a first down and a penetration deep into South Dakota State territory Mark that one down that could be big and not a guy that usually makes a mistake in SE and he's the best offensive lineman on this team second team CAA and I was just talking about this Villanova team has been running their quarterback to the play faking and booting him to the near side that time it was a throwback again a nice designed play that unfortunately had to come back for Villanova so now it is second and 25 for the wild catch back to their own 36 we'll set up a screen to try to make pick up some of the yardage haven't had many penalties in this game but when they've hit they've been significant only a few on some special teams but we look at this screen here we saw Villanova earlier run a screen that had some success to pick up a first down this time they do it again and had some blockers out but how about that Pursuit by South Dakota State's defense guys following the play hustl it's the little things like that that prevent that first down allows you to get off the field as a defense jack rabbits have a three defensive man front dropping eight that narik he got a man over the middle well short of the first down on the open field tackle Christian Rose boom was back defending he had plenty of help there as well though from Chris Baler and that'll do it so the penalty KS the Wildcats chances of taking the lead and now they must give up the ball you mentioned eight guys dropping back just rushing three that time just throwing underneath moving the chains a little bit but for Villanova they missed an opportunity on a long touchdown pass that was dropped possibly and then you said the penalty balster got the initial hit on that play and some pretty evident movement on the right side of the wild cats side of the field start kicking team number seven 5yd penalty fourth down that rush in is number seven for Villanova there it is again one of those penalties on special team not an not affecting a whole lot but that's where we've seen most of the mistakes [Applause] today clock continues to run more than half of the third quarter already gone winner to face San Diego or North Dakota state right now the Bison have a three touchdown lead little hesitation snap the catch this drive will start from the 26 yd line ESPN's coverage of the FCS championships continues with a quarterfinals either Friday at 7 Eastern or possibly on Saturday ESPN 2 for more information go to nca.com that's the official online home for all 90 NCAA championships first Saturday in the month of December that usually means in the FC yes something big is happening that's right that means you still have a chance for a championship that's what coach tally told us hey we didn't come here on the road to not go after it and take every opportunity we can yeah if you men mentioned uh the interview at halftime that tally was explaining to us why he went for it with 7 Seconds to go in the first half no timeouts remaining could have kicked the field goal simply said hey it's the playoff who came here to win and I was thinking kicking it was the right move but after listening to him he convinced me yeah you know what why not go for again took over Villanova football after it had disbanded football [Applause] 1980 the jack rabbit second and one that'll be a first [Music] down andell carries Steve with a stop chains move and for South Dakota State they need desperately to get something going since the first quarter before that last one had six rushes for eight yards and they were just two of seven passing for 15 yards through that second quarter so they have desperately in in need of some offense here and you're talking about a team that ranks high in the FCS in many categories all bets seem to be off though once you get to the playoffs ter Christian drop for a loss on a play of three Brian OSI the big defensive end that time on the Edge passino gets all of the Acclaim there being 67 on his side of it but oose he's had probably the best year of his career here the senior he is one of those rare transfers that Villanova accepts came from Temple University and one of the reasons they took him is they were recruiting him big out of high school and they weren't able to get him and coach valy and this Villanova team does not accept a whole lot of transfers as you said he he basically says I don't want other people's problems So eventually he comes full circle second and 13 Christian throwing incomplete Karen Christian got off to this white hot start as Brian o applied the pressure but since then John he has been unable to find any kind of luck can you P it on anything in in particular no just a good defense here and you can see again o coming off the inside that time a move where he comes up through the middle and gets to the quarterback Christian and boy you don't want to see him give up blimping part of his tools is his ability to run the football we haven't seen a whole lot of that today but good to see him get up off the deck and this is where Villanova's been limited today defensively Tano passinho hurt his thumb on the first play of scrimmage in the first quarter has come back but obviously didn't play any in that first quarter and the ball retrieved by Christian back at the 31 and South Dakota state has got to give it up watch passing yo come off from your left side of your screen here that time boy he was off the line quick he was lined up way outside in a track stance that time and comes off the edge quickly and I think Christian actually felt that pressure came up into the pocket and dropped the football I don't think passeno got his hand on his arm to be able to knock that football away senas and Phillips are deep for Villanova 430 to go third quarter it'll bounce at the 30 did it hit somebody well Villanova recovered the football certainly everybody was responding as if it was a live ball and the officials are indicating such but the wild cats get the ball in the game that's still doesn't have a turnover TJ white able to recover that's huge on the field F touch the receiving team but recovered by receiving team first down [Music] Villanova we're hard to see whether that ball was touched or not but you know when you're on the field you don't know whether he did or not so jumping on it when he saw the Defenders for South Dakota State trying to jump on the football he thought I better get on top of it and fortunately he did yeah it appears at least by way the officials call that Trey Johnson was the down lineman came in contact with the ball either way Villanova has it at its own 29 still locked in a tie game ated narik to the flat incomplete critical play action with Javon white set up a little screen as well as Kell Sul was applying pressure second and 10 you know it's still way too early call but don't you get the feeling that this might be a an overtime game well it is early to call that but may maybe what it comes down to is some type of special teams play or who Mak makes the mistake who turns the football over in this [Music] game second and 10 great to have you along whever you're watching today this is playoff football and the FCS good Zack a lot of the Yards back and then some a first down as he carries up to the 44 that's a pickup of 15 with a junior running back who can run outside and also take up between the tackles and here I think this is where this team says he is the best and that's in between the tackles because of his hard noosed running ability averages 6.3 yards when he runs the football too but he's been bothered by a little bit of a hamstring problem too so nice to see that he's able to play today they were concerned about that Anthony Washington made the tackle for South Dakota state if you're just joining us as one of the Jacks is going to have to come off the field Christian Rose two helmet came off during play he not participated One play now if somebody was to deliberately knock off that helmet the player gets to stay in the game but roll boom will get a break he is the Missouri Valley Conference freshman of the year yeah you get the feeling that he's in no hurry to put that helmet on you know with that hair flowing like that in the wind you wouldn't be either Jim I know you of course not I don't look as good those he does just a freshman from Sue Center Iowa second and nine little end round action South Dakota state had him in the back field and eventually will get him horis Phillips was able to make a couple of people Miss but eventually he was brought down Slade was there yeah but again how do you hurt a verse or anything like that again penetration fantas act that penetration that time gets there and allows his players to get there and again back this Villanova team up third and 14 wild cats right at their average on third down throw over the middle trying to make the wide receiver get the yardage back but Clinton got back to the original line of scrimmage and maybe a yard Jordan Brown there to greet him fourth down and vovo will give up the ball and now becomes a game of field position I was just going to say that two minutes to go in this third quarter and it's just slowly the field is kind of flipping it was South Dakota state that had the advantage early in this first half and Villanova has been able to through a couple possessions been able to flip the field on them and now they're going to be able to pick South Dakota State back John hinch in his fourth punt Maris Lewis is [Applause] back good punt with the win returned by Lewis from the 10 running to the near side the field trying to reverse himself but nothing available with 90 seconds to go in the third quarter TJ white up to make the stop for Villanova [Applause] North Dakota State playing the Fargo G today and with three first half touchdowns as you view live from Fargo leading 21 nothing time remaining just a few seconds gone into the third quarter Easton stick is thrown a touchdown pass for the Bison who look every bit as good as they typically do in the playoffs and the defeat earlier this year at the hands of South Dakota state will it be South Dakota state or fill it over well that's the part in the ball game there where North Dakota state has the football you can talk to people beside you cuz you can hear when they're on defense it's not possible fantastic Place 19,000 fans typically jam into that place and great atmosphere and what what about the facilities here as you kind of look around too this place is kind of a sleeping giant too I mean it's going to really help with recruiting a $65 million facility look around here check out that scoreboard actronics that's Local Company here too they get to share some of that wealth on the board that's nice a building footprint of 14 acres by the way last time for me at the Fargo Dome I got laryngitis and by the third quarter I was uh I was no match for that crowd great place though Ed shley from his linebacker spot up to make the tackle [Applause] that's no surprise that North Dakota state is winning its game Youngstown State has a 16-point lead on Jacksonville State with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter Bo Pini in the FCS ranks in position to move [Applause] on so we take you from the benefit of two games back to our game pass over the middle dropped and on third and four South Dakota state must give up the ball again [Applause] now that's one thing that you did not see during the season for this South Dakota State team they don't drop the football they don't make little mistakes that's why they've had all the success offensively they have when you talk about scoring 11th in the country passing eighth in the country pass efficiency six they've just been taking it away today by a very good defense yes it has Brady hail Will punt he is back at his own 5 yd line trying to reclaim field position be Catch 35 yd line quarter is over more drama Straight Ahead after three 77 with the winner likely headed to the Fargo Dome D have surprises today this game is 77 as it goes to the fourth quarter as Andy tally tries to extend his retirement tour which will end when this game or the first game that he loses is done this is the biggest rival that Villanova has in the Delaware Blue Hens so as part of the retirement package from Delaware he got a what he calls an ugly blue hen now Del folks don't take this personal that's that's a rivalry for you but he did appreciate the gesture good Zach to run to the outside to start the fourth quarter I mentioned a day of surprises how about some of these scores today besides our game at 7-7 Chattanooga down 21 nothing the Sam Houston State has tied that game at 21 Eastern Washington to two seed had to come from behind a Tai Central Arkansas late second quarter 1414 and Youngtown state is 4 and A2 minutes away from beating Jacksonville stayed up 4024 play off time know Andy tally in that game against Delaware They Carried him off the field at the end of that ball game and at 73 he said it wasn't like he was comfortable them carry he's like please don't drop me please don't drop me he's got a good sense of here yes he does second down at seven back to good trying to cut up inside for a couple of yards leaves him with a third and manageable third and four Jesse bobett up there to make yet another stop there's defensive linebackers coming into today one thing that they mentioned that CL Brown their defense quarter mentioned that they do a good job keeping blockers off of them bunch of big bodies up front that can do that guys off the edge that will take up space and allow that freshman linebacker and his teammates to move to the football need to get the ball to the 46 got a man wide open into South Dakota State territory that was a dart to 88 chonga hjge ni finina makes the tackle and hjj well he separated a suffered a lacerated kidney earlier in the season and missed half the year and boy are they happy to have him back yeah they said in Camp he was amazing he's a true freshman they said he was probably the most advanced receiver coming into the program probably in coach Call's history he said his route running ability his hands everything he had and they lost him four days before the pit game to open up the season that dsic on play action shooting one down the field incomplete right now the field position game seems to be won by Villanova and if the wild cats can put together a drive they are really going to position South Dakota state in a tough spot play fake again to try to hold up the backers and again solic with the lick on the quarterback that time and Ben naric getting up a little slow that time in this cold weather [Applause] Villanova's three losses all the formable opponents FBS is pit and JMU and Richmond both ranked in the top 10 and still very much alive in the FCS playoffs that nar's going to have to throw it away shoot by Ryan [Applause] ith defensive end aith coming off the edge again we seen Villanova go back to this Play Time After Time and another big hit to the sideline and bed narik again getting up slowly Zack M narik for the day 18 of 29 for 193 and a touchdown that came with a couple of seconds remaining in the first half on the fourth down gamble by Villanova Jim I think this thing's going to come down to which one of these quarterbacks may be make a mistake turn the football over and defense makes a big Play Time Out Villanova there's second charge timeout of the second half Timeout on the field as it did in the first half Villanova is using its timeouts just one remaining now for the game third down Wildcat football 47 yd line of South Dakota state in a 7-7 game and a four receiver set for Zack bardzik a sophomore quarterback Jack are going to Blitz off the edge they're sending five Ben narik picks it up got a man 30 yd line first down Zack kirkon his first catch of the game Z Mosley brought him down but not before a huge pickup and a first down to the 30 another the true freshman as a wide receiver kirkon the coach has said before this season actually two wide receivers that they brought in here in freshman couldn't have come in at better time not of a lot of experience returning to the outside and boy how about that throw by bed narik you said it that Rush was coming the blitz was coming he waited and delivered a strike to the outside by oh by the way in case you're curious Gerard Smith the field goal kicker for Villanova his longest of the year is 43 and they're just sh in position for that all things considered though the weather and the wind could be a factor yeah but I'd say that the it's a helping win for him right now cuz it's blowing right to left and it has all game so for Villanova they've got the wind in this fourth quarter good point James Madison has just polished off New Hampshire to move on 5522 second and eight that narik in trouble and brought down I'm going to spot him back at the line of scrimmage previous Play No Gain on the play Jared Plum Ryan arth boy credit the jack rabbit secondary that time plenty of time to throw the football and you can see bed narik that's at the end of the play but he had time to throw the football in that offensive line doing a good job but South Dakota State's secondary really clamping down on Villanova's receivers could be four down territory for the Wildcats who have been known to take a risk in this game and that brings us to fourth down we have had on the last six offensive series six punts you can see mclinton there he thought the defender had his arm wrapped around him but that ball was really not cat able there I doubt he's going to get could get a flag on something like [Applause] that Gerard Smith will try to give Villanova the lead and this attempt will be his longest of the season and a penalty flag before that happens could be a legal substitution to many men on the field illegal substitution kicking team 12 minute formation fight yard penalty fourth down so does Villanova try a field goal now of 51 or kick it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] away I'm trying to get an indication on the field looking over I don't know what the answer is to it looks like now they're going to have to punt it away and again special teams penalties have really hurt Villanova today they've used some timeouts when they didn't want to have them and now special teams have not forced them away and those three points could you know be the difference in the game yeah well said in fact Villanova is down to one timeout John for the game five penalties now for Villanova 35 yds and one for South Dakota State trying to go for a pooch PT but way too long for that jack rabbits with the football back in the 20 with 1046 left in in the fourth quarter good spot to be folks well dressed having a good time highly competitive playoff game at 77 the lights have been on for quite some time because of the swirling snow if you're just joining us for the first time pulled up a chair we could have a great finish to this with 1046 left in the fourth Jim Barber John Gregory football at the 20yd line of South Dakota state in the first quarter the jack rabbits had 113 total yards and a touchdown since then no points 23 total yards this how suffocating this Villanova defense has been it certainly has been in for Taran Christian he's really struggled two of eight for 15 yards here in the second half they have not been able to get anything going keep in mind this team averaged 34 yards per game coming in and passing eighth in the FCS NOA had some headset difficulties to start the game those seem to have been rectified it was a rough start because they lost a defensive end they trailed some nothing and had no communication since then they've been able to get the return of Tano pasino they tied to football game at the end of the first half and all communication appears to be working you know Jim it's a lot like we we're talking about at the very beginning South Dakota state ranked highly on the in the FCS in all those offensive categories when you look at Villanova's defense they were number nine in the country against pass defense for their pass defense giving up 170 yards a game so something had to give and right now it's given on the side of South Dakota State as Villanova has been able to hold him down yeah see even a little better John against the rush top 10 in the country and jack rabbits have been unable to run the football but get a big time third down completion there up to the 34 yd line when they needed it the most and who do they go to to when they need it the most D Dallas GD I think I would throw him the football every time as he's a guy with great hands and the ability to get open I would start to look for him Time After Time first and 10 34 yd line nearly picked off and in fact probably should have been Austin kitro was right there he's a trap on this team and a CAA first teamer boy he was reading the eyes that time of tan Christian as he was just staring down Dallas Gard down the center of the field in kitro that would have been his first interception on the Year this defense coached by Billy Crocker who told us earlier in the week if the coach is the good cop the offensive coordinator is the great cop I'm the bad cop which you would imagine most defensive coordinators to be little inside shovel pass little hurdle there for a modest gain and will'll bring us to third down with South Dakota they can find no room to move well try to get it to one of your best players this time they do it with a little shovel passes we wonder if Godard has got any athletic ability as a tight end and look no further than that play there is his ability to jump over the top Jacks were able to complete a pass on third down moments ago can they do it again as we reached 9 minutes for the game [Applause] fiveman pressure throw ball caught another big third down conversion guess who caught it Godard saying feed me the football a little bit here and he's starting to talk a little bit we saw earlier in this game he doesn't lack for confidence at all and this is a nice throw to the outside he was well covered that time by ran Stewart but great soft hands by the big tight end as he's able to haul that one in update from the Fargo Dome we teams have scored over the last couple of minutes it's now 28-7 North Dakota State over San Diego fresh set of downs again completing a pass on third down that one is incomplete intended for Brady [Music] [Applause] mangarelli this defense players like Jason Senus ran Stuart Malik Reeves Trey Johnson Ryan Jose you saw in your picture 46 was playing some terrific football today at a time where it's needed the most at the 46 yd [Music] line and the spot will be into villinova territory at the 48 pick up a six kitro with a tackle and his linebacker position for villanovo the one thing for South Dakota State's offense today is when they do catch a pass really the Villanova defense has been right there to be able to bring him down there hasn't been any really yards after the catch so far today yeah that's that's well noted got it with six catches now in this game let's see if they can make it three successful conversions in a row on third down [Applause] to set up a screen they're going to get it to the 42 yd line they're doing a nice job John right now mixing up their plays Malik Reeves tried to get mang gelli before he did anything special but couldn't do it yeah they had one offensive lineman that was released in downfield that time in a nice you know call it a screen that's a play call they are again anticipating maybe a blitz out of Villanova they get the right call in the right situation and more importantly they move the chains it is halfway through the the fourth quarter will a score here win the game South Dakota State suddenly hot on third down this is the 10th play of the drive and it seems like every first down play starts with an incompleted pass at the feet of a [Applause] receiver maybe they're doing their best work when they're pressure to do so yeah they're trying to hit the backs out of the back field really and make this Villanova team run sideline to sideline they're so strong up front in the ability to get to the quarterback that they're getting rid of it quickly to their backs trying to make somebody break [Applause] something all three timeouts remain for the Jacks one for [Applause] Villanova little toss sweep not much available there on the Run by Jacob Brown Ryan White and Ed shley up to make the tackle again South Dakota State without Mikey Daniel due to a shoulder entur and isaah Wallace who did not pass concussion protocol Jacob Brown not a guy that we would normally say that you'd see or anticipating he trying to get some speed on the field and have him break something that's just his second catch on the ear if you want to actually call that a completion can the cats make it four in a row on third down need to pick up nine Christian in trouble and drag down inside the 45 yd line jaanta Johnson big number 50 Christian feels the pressure on the inside he starts to move to the outside and right into the hands of Johnson nowhere to go with the football and Johnson red shirt freshman he's just rushing a quarterback to the outside and he allowed him to come right to him was a high school Captain for his football team in Syracuse New York each team now with four punts in the second [Applause] half the catch and the tackle K tle with the hit time out on the field fanova pinned back inside its own 15 who's going to win it 54 three left and still tied we mentioned earlier Villanova's men's team took care of St Joe will become the number one team in college basketball on Monday because UCLA upset Kentucky let's give a little love to South Dakota state which beat unkc today at home 7768 for its third consecutive win this one still to be decided Alan solic has had a very active game today as Aaron Forbes was a ball carrier there sophomore from Newberg New York working through some ankle difficulties after the gain of five it is second and five quarterback Zack bed narik trying to get everybody set play clock at three going to run some option going to get the first down carries the football to the 25 pick up a six clock continues to move after it stopped momentarily and so do the chains and that was a great decision by bednarik the quarterback he had a pitch guy to the outside and the defender is doing the same thing stringing it to the outside and he decided to hold the football that time and because of that he was able to get the first down good decision on his part not to pitch that ball and John we should mention again just one timeout remaining for the Wildcats three for the jack rabbits if you're Villanova when do you try to strike down the middle of the field and maybe get a long Gainer knowing for well you got to cover some territory to get a chance to win it yeah I think you can't wait well you can't wait too long I mean I think this team is so good their play action when they're having success running the ball they just haven't been able to run it today South Dakota State's defense has taken that away so the play action hasn't done a whole lot today but I see them having to take a chance pretty soon second and nine clock dips under four for the game four down lineman for South Dakota State tough pass there incomplete intended for Brad and chadborne clock stops at 348 to go chadborne on the outside gets a kind of a natural pick to the inside but that just that football's thrown behind him really no chance for him to catch that football croud Alive and Well on third down and nine rabbit show Blitz drops seven Ben narik in trouble and nearly picked off that's the second time we've seen bed narik running to his left the left-handed quarterback and throw the ball back toward the center of the field and you talk about a dangerous play down here in your own territory look at him he threw that back toward the hash mark and he knew right when he let that football go that may have been a bad decision and that was that turnover I was talking about late in the ball game Jim which quarterback here may make a mistake Chris boster nearly had the pick which would have been his second and a huge one for South Dakota State either team to turnover so far the return from the 30 little bit of room to run and now closes up a return of eight and so the jack rabbits hoping to keep the football to the end of the game to try to win it three and 1 half to go and all three timeouts are left [Applause] Eric Ides has just broken the Huddle as his team all set on offense to go to work from the 40 yd line good field position all three timeouts left a score could win it and move them on to the next round Christian tries to find his way forward there is nothing available 33 at shley you know it was said by the defense that the linebackers have a chance to make a lot of plays and they're making a ton of plays in this game Sandy South Dakota State's been unable to run the ball at all in this game John no when we talk with the defensive coordinator Billy Crocker he was talking about how they need to just slow this team down make them Drive the entire field well they've taken away the big play and that's what they've done is make them Drive the length of it and they haven't been able to do it forcing the Christian to ball caught it's a big Gainer got her to the rescue Dallas Gard has been huge down the stretch that's good for 35 Malik Reeves finally caught him and I can't even promise you that this ball was intended for GD watch him come out he recognizes the ball it looked like he was trying to throw it to the wide receiver coming across the field Gard does his quarterback a favor and comes back to the football and makes a huge play for this offense getting themselves closer to field position for a field goal attempt in fact Jay viter has one beyond the 40 yd line and right now it would be an attempt Beyond 40 play clock down to five out South Dakota State their first of the second half 32 time out now the rabbits have to burn one here but it'll get everybody settled with 217 to go and now they're in good position to win this football game well they needed the one big play we hadn't seen any big plays here in the second half for this South Dakota State offense and G finds a way to get to the football and make that big play now their team's in a position remember they are kicking into the win not a very strong win but there is a wind in that direction saw John SLE me marktime coach of South Dakota State his offense set to go to work at the [Applause] 26 then gelli makes a man miss goes forward to the 23 and a carry of [Applause] three field goal kicker for South Dakota state is Chase viter the nephew of Adam Viner who's likely to kick into his 90s with the Colts the way he's going joh got a possibility to to win this thing just a freshman a big situation for him but experience family I don't know if that does anything for you or not but I think that's uh points for Adam kicking back in the 90s here at stsu second and seven looking for a touchdown has a man over the middle incomplete intended for Dallas got just beyond his reach boy and Taran Christian you can see him he's still jumping up and down when he let this football go he knew it was just out of the reach of his big tight end and look at his reaction he knew when he let that ball go he had an opportunity that he let slip by if this drive stalls here it' be a field goal attempt of 40 but still a down to be play before a decision to be made on Third and seven out of the back field incomplete and so now Chase venet Terry should be coming on to attempt a 40- yder for the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] lead vinary 40 yards and Beyond is just one of seven 9 of 15 for the season his longest is [Applause] 42 Tren hail the snap Christian to hold kick on the way good well Uncle Adam is preparing for the Jets this weekend in New York he'd be Mighty proud right here South Dakota state by [Music] three well J to take a phrase from a television commercial with the name vitaran got to be good boy that well I think that the way that hit the upright at the very top of it that may have been good from 60 [Applause] yards banova to get the ball 81 seconds to go a timeout left still time field goal to tie and a touchdown maybe to win it this drive will start near the 30 yd line let's go back to vet's all important kick moments ago this thing hits off the top right the very top and sneaks through we were talking about kicking into the wi that huge scoreboard we were talking about that's on that end of the stadium and looks like it really knocks the wind down because the flags on top are not moving in that direction but on the goal poost that you can see right there behind it you can see a pretty stiff wi as you might imagine fans representing South Dakota state are getting Mighty loud right now playoff advancement on the line from the 30 and that's a loss of 10 Cole Langer Cole Langer 315 lbs it's been him and solic all day long in the face of Ben narik nowhere to go with the football and this these fans here that we have on a cold day they are into it as big as they've been all day Langer is the grandson of NFL Hall of Famer Jim [Applause] Langer s hop North couple hundred miles to the Fargo Dome where North Dakota state has been handling San Diego all afternoon long and in fact score of that game is 28-7 just starting the fourth quarter that that hold serve North Dakota state will host next week and South Dakota state is 58 seconds away from a monster rematch what do you think what we're thinking up there we don't want this South Dakota State team to come back again they've already beat us once you think they're rooting for Villanova you mean I bet you some fans saying no we want to have him back but in the back of their mind they're thinking uh maybe not no timeouts left for Villanova second and 18 now the play clock begins dead narik against a four-man rush to the sidelines caught by Ryan Bell clock stops ball the 32 that's a pick up of [Applause] 10 have to get eight more yards to sustain the drive and they have to do it without timeouts too and they you know they blew those timeouts early here in the second half just like they did at the end of the first half they're going to struggle down here to score with only 54 seconds remaining going to have to use the sidelines or the middle of the field getting first downs Ben narik steps up throws bounced it at the 40 they're down to one play once again Langer know was solic so much early in this game and now Langer is taken over from the other defensive The Tackle Spot we'll let you enjoy fourth down here with the crowd and the Jacks Are Moving on you know John it's a tough way for Andy tally to end a great career but his team has put up a terrific fight now he knew what he had coming into this ball game and that's why he went for the touchdown at the end into the first half he knew how difficult it was going to be to score today against this South Dakota State Defense and it it showed so his decision to not go for three and go for seven at the end of the first half was big but their offense was just shut out here in the second half by South Dakota State and a likely rematch coming up between South Dakota State and North Dakota State and that will do it Jim you got to give him credit this was a well played football game a couple mistakes on some special teams outside of that wellplayed game a great defensive game and congratulations to both of these teams on a great effort today John stigeler head coach of South Dakota State and this man Andy Telly who ends his career after 32 seasons in Villanova and 39 overall can imagine what the exchange is like there John a lot of respect right there 57 years of head coaching experience almost 400 wins between those two and you can't help help but have respect and when we talk with those
