Golden Gophers (NCAA Football 2004) Game 5 - Minnesota vs Penn State

[Music] we're live at Beaver Stadium in State College Pennsylvania tucked in the nney valley between bald eagle M and tuss and it's going to be a c afternoon for this game between the Minnesota Golden goers and the NY Lions of pen state here come the NY [Applause] Lions the governor's Victory Bell at stake hi everybody Brad nestler with Kirk herb Street and Lee Corso set to bring you a relatively youthful rivalry between these two big 10 schools how do you see this one this really looks like a deadlock this could go to either team well in a close matchup like this I always like to look at the individuals Minnesota is going to be tested here defensively by this quarterback Lee I think they'll lose a close game because of their inability to match up in the secondary and the lack of pressure they'll put on the quarterback that's a nice pick a nice pick pen state has the better defense in this one and Kirk I wouldn't be thanks guysa lines up to kick this one off and we're just about set to get underway and he got all of this one great kick number 11 Fields it in the end zone spinning he should have stayed in the end zone there it looked like there was a little running room but the lane closed up quickly they'll get the ball here at the 14 hen State comes out in the shotgun back to pass steps up he's going left here's an opening and he's taken down at first down what a pass Bo that was a big time throw by the quarterback and did a good job of taking what the defense gives him number 32 is a deep back as they line up in the eye they'll give it off and down he goes at the 40 yd line the half for four yards state is ranked near the bottom of the barrel as far as offense goes the numbers don't lie they just can't move the pen State comes out with an eye formation drops back to pass steps up in the pocket he's in trouble and it falls incomplete I think the pressure forced him to get rid of the ball there guys yeah great job here by the defense getting a good surge up front getting right into the quarterback's face number seven is back in the gun he steps UPS to throw outside and it's caugh and now he's got to at away frombody that tell seen a lot of and he missra number four looks ready to kick this one off kicks it off number 21 Fields it at the three with the spin that's a good job by the coverage team there staying in their lanes and not allowing the returner to break [Music] free they'll take over at the 14 yd line number 21 up the single back hand off's taken carries the yard second and Six coming up here ball on the 18 the go come out in the Ace form and they got him for a Los good job there by the defense they brought the blitz that time and made it difficult for the Lin up to Pi everybody up third and 10 in the the mney Lions bring and [Applause] State out defensively with defensive they on fourth down you talk about huge plays this defense stood tall and Sh him down they set up in an eye down by the goal line watch for play action on this one they'll drop him for how about that defensive stop that's a great effort by the defensive line there anytime you can get into the back field and disrupt the timing of a run like this you're going to come up with a big stop and that'll be the end of the first quarter with our score 10 State six Minesota nothing the goord line up in a Nickelback they keep it on the ground with a tail back touchdown NY lions nice little run there by the half to get in for the score that guy was tooed to the end and he TS on the extra point so with less than two to go in the second quarter our score is 10 State 13 Minnesota nothing kicks It Off number 21 FS it at the seven to spin the off heads out onto the field their last series they to try andt ath down and they came up they'll go to work at the 21 yd line the goord come out in the Ace form he's looking STS up rifles it right side and they couldn't hook up on that one and he overw that one badly whoa the receiver's fast but he's not that fast second and 10 ball on their own 21 two tight end set he drops back across the middle complete and down he goes looks to have been shaken up a bit on that play ah rub some dirt on it kid get back in the game where you belong here's where the off stands compared to the rest of the nation they are struggling when they the seems toen when they're on there's a tackle and he's taken down three y gain by by the running back it's first and 10 ball in the 31 Minnesota goes with the a set here and down he go at the 34 so the clock continues to run two things here guys first you have to call play that allows your offense to get more than they did there and second you got to make more of a concerted effort to get to the in that situation to stop the clock Bo you're absolutely right that was not a good play anyway you slice it and he's taken down at the 37 yd line and the defense comes up with a good stop there yeah remember that the clock does not stop unless they get a first down get out of bounds or call timeout the off faces another third down as they line it up high form here back to looking he's looking down the middle got it receiver and down he goes oh my that long gain gives him a first down coach a first down and a nice pass PL knowing you can convert on Third and long will open up your offense a little bit more on first and second let's see what they do from here the golden goer line up with three wide throws it to the outside and that was a good defensive play yeah guys this is because he's in great position to make the play second and 10 ball on the 40 number 21 lines up in the Deep back eye form here's the option this one thrown Deep Over the middle it falls incomplete not AER could do that time you're right nice defensive play and the key here is the Defenders able to avoid pass interference they've been two for two on third Downs on this drive and they'll try to convert again here drops back to pass looks he's going to a it long got it and he will score what an athletic play by the wide out this guy's one of the most athletic players I've seen all year you realize in high school this guy was all stayed in football basketball and baseball he's been making big plays his whole life and he missed it heed the extra Minnesota to kick a short kickoff number 19 takes it at thees out on the field once again it'll be interesting to see if this defense has made any adjusts toop this running because they couldn't stop them from going down the field and scor on that last Drive hen state lines up in a pro set they'll throw on first down steps up in the pocket he's looking he goes down incomplete he just his wi out a little too much that time so it's second and 10 ball on the 31 yd line the NY lions come out the shotgun he drops back under pressure looking incomplete need a little more touch on his throw he's got to take a deep breath relax and just play a little pitch and catch out there don't be anxious kid and we'll probably see how far he can throw it as it should be the last play before the half back to pass under heavy pressure and that one's Fallen incomplete we knew this drive was in trouble if they couldn't get the pass game going and it's safe to say that's the case as he had zero one more play now we so they'll likely throw and we've reached second half just about set to get underway as the team's line up for the kick here's the kick number three Fields it into three time once again for this off to come back out start another Drive they'll start this drive at the 21 the goer come out in the Ace form he's got an opening passes off the tack kn bound and the delayed hand off works for a big game got to be happy with the effort there by your tail back you are absolutely right it's first and 10 ball on the 44 yd line the golden goord line up with two tight ends they'll wrestle him down the back field these guys fast what good job of penetrating and getting to the ball carrier second and 11 coming up ball on the 43 yd line number 21 alone in the back field dropped back to pass across the middle oh he had the and he dropped it there was not a s open there he threw into double coverage because it was an obvious passing down and the defense knew the pass was coming they line up in an eye they go with the option here they come and they couldn't hook up on that one and an outstanding play defensively yeah he timed it perfectly and managed to hand in there to deflect the ball away you'd expect him to punt here but it looks like they're not thinking that way and they turn the ball over shouldn't they have punted in that situation even though they're down right I think they should haveed they'll set up shot at the 43 yd line number 32 is the Deep back as they line up in the eye they'll throw on first down steps up deep down the left side incomplete pass so he tried to find his Man In The End Zone but he's unable to connect he was under a lot of the def to the back and the Inc number seven with three wide receivers he drops back steps up finds his receiver and he's taken down let's have another look at that pass BR here just a great throw by the quarterback does a great job of get theall to the receiver quickly have enough time to break on the ball hen State sets up in the eye nice play fake with a throw intercepted it's the line they'll take over at the 26 Minnesota comes to the line only one man in the back field back to pass looks across the middle got it and down he goes the a little lost on that one Kirk yeah they did Brad by thearter to and it's first and 10 ball right around Midfield Minnesota goes with the a here he looking throws and it falls incomplete and the tight couldn't manag to hold on to that one second and 10 ball right around Midfield He's Back Field he drops back looking across the middle got it and theying him what do you think of this coach when you look at the replay here the impressive thing about this pass is how quickly he gets the from A to point that makes it on the old defense to react it's first and 10 ball on the 22 yd line Minnesota comes out with an eye form they go with the option they're backed up eight yard on that second and long coming up here ball in the 30 yd line Minnesota comes to the line only one man in the back field steps up in the pocket incomplete so that brings us to the end of the quarter and at the end of three our score pen State 13 Minnesota two minutes left in the ball game the NY Lions bring in their looks AC the middle and he can't hang on it so they run the same play again yeah typically you'll see this when teams are having success with a particular player they feel confident about a play Chances in this case the defense was well prepared look for them to go to the air here L this one out to the right and it's caught and they got him for a l and they're going to have to the ball back after going for it on Fourth and long not much you can do there you got to go for it and give yourselves a chance High form here hand off on the counter and he's taken down just a yard there it's second down and nine to go ball on the 35 thr form here they'll give it off here and down he go at the 39 four yards on that play congratulations to our players of the game brought to you by Old Spice pen State sets up in the eye L action over the middle got it to Hiser and he's taken down at the 49 wow how about that third down conversion boy what a play here guys I'm really impressed with the Poise of this Young quarterback he was very cool and collected out there on that third Long play first and 10 ball in the 49 High form here hand off to the right and down he goes didn't get so it's second and 10 this is the fifth play of this drive Pro Form here on the ground with the tail back and he's going to lose yards on this one good penetration by the defense there as they tackle him for a loss the defense will try to stop this third down as they were unsuccessful the first time on this drive the Golden Gophers call for a timeout that was their second timeout the offense faces another third down as they line it up number six lines up in the Deep back eye formation he's gobbled up in the back field well they came up well short on third down you know guys it looks like they're trying to work some clock here in the fourth quarter another hard fought game between these two Rivals was this what you expected to see they talked about the Rivalry all week long and for good reason we saw the intensity down the field why these teams love to hate each other
