sideline cley inside the 10 and driven down just shy of the goal line Conley's First Carry tonight simple read option give it to your Bellow right down the middle of the defense no one has the angle until we see Leighton of course see if Northern Arizona can try and hold Arizona to a field goal attempt they had first and goal at the two now third and goal from the five faf pressure coming Flags out and down he goes back at the 16 yd line Tommy Ellis so when you see the tackle is trying to obviously engage or even the guard for that matter the the lineman Tyler Loop summoned senior from Lucas Texas he has had an outstanding career and adds another field goal to his total forces Arizona on a three and out Wildcat second possession First Catch of the young season for Tyler Powell went for just three yards this is caught back at the five up the sideline and lasso down shy of the 20 with the helmet communication but again Northern Arizona they do not have the helmet communication in the FCS Pennington TI pocket and down he goes Chase Kennedy the Utah transfer as a wildcat let's take a look here see pressure coming from the inside from the outside rather he just beat the tackle Adam Clark the first year defensive coordinator longtime division 2 coach most recently at Angelo State in West Texas off the play fake faf Bliss dumps it off it's Conley out of the back field across the 50 and into plush territory The Lumberjacks they say otherwise this drive starts from the 27 and it's calling Conley busting out of tackles that's a first down Run for the San Jose State transfer Arizona brings four Pennington steps up first down and more they'll slide near the 25 [Applause] that's an eight- yd run on Third and short to extend the possession new set of downs at the 25 yd line little misdirection here it's a receiver pass wide open down the sideline touchdown Arizona gives it up to na Xander Warner the athlete 25 FBS opponent Isaiah Eastman he can sling it a little bit they've got sander Warner listed positionist as an athlete because they can use him in a bunch of different spots now a little trickery from Arizona after the northern Arizona touchdown the first trip to pay dirt on either side tonight courtesy of The Lumberjacks from the FCS second and short play fake faid slings it and it's tipped in the air and intercepted Michel Greer couple things here it came out of Noah's hands wrong now even though Ted had a chance to catch the ball great play by the defense Northern Arizona second down one it's Cromwell through the middle bounces to the outside marker down as he's dragged to the turf shy of the 40 Trad in stooks a 38- ydd attempt from Marcus Li the Junior from Australia he two for eight on field goals in his career but he knocks this one through and that's 10 unanswered for Northern Arizona that's connected on 87% of his field goal attempts in his 5 years at Arizona and this one is perfect and would have been good from about 60 who the pass R is coming quarterback Snake I don't think he got there a gutsy call a roll of the dice on the third play of the second half and it appears that na has turned it over on Downs yes they have first down you can totally see where the Lumberjacks were wanting to take full advantage of the momentum that they had in the first half tight pocket and down goes faid with a late flag yeah hit him in the head personal foul face mask number 51 defense 15 yd penalty from the previous spot automatic first down yeah let's take a look here oh yeah he got all kinds of face mask there there's no nothing else
