go a conference Championship on the line right now Fields it just outside the goal line he's tackled at the 21 that's where the drive will start so the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs offense has the football first here today and as this quarterback takes the field eager to see how he plays today there's a certain gravity about him you can tell from the warm-up song The Way the team responds and rallies around him can he come through on a big stage here yeah this guy is their Superman when that opening kickoff is kicked up into the air his cake goes on he sets everything into place gets the offense out of jams does it in pressure situations he's the arms and legs of this offensive system but also the heart of this team see what the call is on First and [Applause] 10 from the shotgun handoff inside Just Trucks the man breaks the tackle now he's got room to run breaks clear Endzone ahead a huge gain moves the ball to the plus 22 great scoring position now well the scouting report on this running back was that he is an elite ball carrier and he is proving to be that here early in this game these first few carries not only the strength but the quickness and acceleration to get up field and get positive yards on display second down play coming up now they'll switch it up looking to throw the ball here pass caught can he get in doesn't quite get in but it sets up a first and goal for this [Applause] offense oh it's snapped to the back fites his way in for the score touchdown Louisiana Tech just getting settled in for this conference Championship Game this offense already has put points on the board KT man they are not wasting any time at all settling into this football game they got straight to the reads quarterback did a nice job of just kind of executing the game plan and they're up seven here early they're sitting now to try the [Applause] Pat and it's 7 nothing after the [Applause] bat getting set to kick the ball off now so no return here he takes a knee in the end zone and they'll begin the drive at the 25 so Liberty offense out there for their first possession the back behind the quarterback now in the pistol hand off in a single back formation they try to run inside but nowhere to go important second down play coming up he'll ride the back again here they make the stop but not before a solid gain that time here's a first and 10 play they'll hand it off they've got him after a seven yd gain so second and three [Applause] there's the handoff that gain enough for a fresh set of down spotted at the 48 the Flames pick up enough yardage to get a fresh set of downs trying to find room it's Lucas the senior able to make the stop after a short game second down after that run on the previous Play here's the snap he's looking to throw it's incomplete he was hit as he threw that time and now third down coming up dropping back he going to throw for the first down he'll take a deep shot looks down field and connects with a wide open wide receiver they bring him down but a big chunk of yardage on the play one of the areas that separates good offensive coordinators from great ones is how efficient their offense is on third down passing plays that was a perfect call and really well executed defense gets him down but they'll take the gain on that play So Here Comes second down now every play important down here in the Red Zone off the RPO caught to the right brought down but the catch moves the ball all the way down to the one offense facing a third down now they can still get a first down without scoring they'll try to move the chains here on the ground fights his way into the end zone touchdown flames methodical but effective C probably one of the most impressive drives we've seen in a conference Championship Game hey I have to agree with you long drives like that are like a great painting slowly layering all the intricate facets until you have a masterpiece completed that drive was put together in the same fashion just masterful execution on that drive and they get set now to try the Pat and is good [Music] the kickoff team on the field now as they get set to send this one away and he'll bring it out from inside the 10 stop at the 22 that's pretty solid coverage there and the Louisiana Tech offense is back out on the field now on that last touchdown Drive they just pound it away with the ground game let's see if that formula works again grab behind the line it's Crawford gets into space at the 50 breaks into the cliff here it's a Sprint finally tackled out the 19 and just like that the offense has moved into the Red [Applause] Zone and a big game before he goes out of bounds the offense keeps churning gets a fresh set of downs the offense knocking on the door here with a first and goal ball handed off and he's tackled down at the four yd line defense getting pushed back it's a second and goal play for the offense quarterback keeps the football goes backwards losing three yards there great job by the defense so far it's third and goal from a long way out back to pass it's Turner he's running out of time here the pass is offt Target he got hit as he threw as the third down Pressure Works coach Alexs a try for three points and sends out the field goal unit kick is up and no good and that one's off Target and the game will remain tied [Music] Liberty's offense retakes the field now really excellent possession last time the mix the run and the pass kept the defense off balance and route to a touchdown they'll tackle him at the 27 here's the second down play Drops back from the shotgun looking for an open man Junior steps up and makes an impact play I like how this defense is bringing pressure from all over the field and that's the key in putting together good defensive strategy on this play it came from the outside linebacker and he gets to the [Applause] quarterback so a tricky situation here third and very long inside your own 20 how much of a risk do you take you know this defense could be very aggressive at this moment and he Lofts it toward the left sideline the ball is picked off can he take it all the way and he's wrapped up after a solid [Applause] return here comes the Bulldogs offense back on the field the need something out of this possession the last time they settled for a field goal attempt but then they missed it pickup is five yds so it's second down and five the offense now operating in empty dropping back it's Turner receiver makes the catch they bring him down but the game sets up the offense first and goal from the 10 the offense in scoring position with a new set of downs they'll try to run it in on first and goal they'll stop him behind the line for a loss of one so off the loss it's second and goal from the 11 and off inside looking for the touchdown tackled there by the defense the offense has been moving backwards here now a long way to go on Third and goal quarterback drops back from the shotgun looking for a receiver SS H quick throw and now the defense able to bring him down and the field goal unit coming on the field now so from the left hash this is just a Chip Shot the attempt is no good and the game still tied here in the first quarter [Music] here comes the Flames offense back out on the field this offense trying to bounce back the last possession and then in a pick the shotgun handoff here he shreds The Tackle second down after that run on the previous play there's the snap they'll set up to throw it's a quick grab they keep the drive going it's a first out to the 46 tackle is made but the junior quarterback shows off his arm strength that time and the running back takes the handoff the pickup is seven yds now it's second and [Applause] three he hands it off from the gun and he's brought down but he does have enough for the first down the Flames pick up enough yardage keep this drive [Applause] rolling so some early drama here we're all even at the end of one let's take a quick pause and check out the stats from this first quarter and after a promising start we hope that both these teams will just continue with more of this action the Flames have first and 10 here here's the handoff the gain is three yds so second and seven they'll keep it on the ground running back has the hand off they bring him down but not before he gets inside the 30yd line first and 10 now for the offense takes the hand off and he'll head left wner finding some space there that's a solid gain on the ground offense getting set second down play [Applause] here makes a quick grab he's tackled quickly but the yardage is good enough for the first down the Flames looking to take advantage of this Red Zone trip The Backs got it it's good for a three- yd gain so second and seven now play number nine on this drive it's a shotgun run call and he runs it in for the score touchdown Liberty Conference Championship pressure they just grind away beautiful execution on that methodical Drive man I can't think of a better stage than a conference Championship to put together a tribe like that move the sticks executing along the way avoiding any turnover potential and coming up with a touchdown great job and now here comes the point after [Applause] attempt the extra point is good so it's 147 now they get set to kick it away Turner looking to create better field position that's strong coverage there they tackle him at the 11 yd line and the Louisiana Tech offense is back out on the field now no doubt the last Drive was deflating they had to settle for a field goal attempt but missed it brought down after a seven yd gain so it's second and three he'll hand it off good enough for first down [Applause] yardage dropping back it's Turner delivers from the pocket complete over the middle he's brought down quickly as short gain gets them a few yards closer to the marker quarterback looking to throw it on second down caught in the flat by the running back and he's brought down but they went backwards after the completion good work by the defense so from the 28 yd line it's a third and manageable here here's the snap offense looking to throw the ball a short completion of the tight end they make the stop just short of the marker it's going to be fourth down and inches they'll kick it away here and the returner decides to Signal fair catch here comes the Liberty offense back out on the field the last possession was just old school Power Football let's see if they can keep that going here they start the drive with a quick throw to the right you see more and more offenses in college football going to three receivers and the slot receiver a lot of times can become the go-to guy he gets mismatches against either safeties a Nickelback or a linebacker walked out and you can take advantage of it after the incompletion they'll come to the line for a third and four from the gun he looks for an open man and he's got it touchdown Flames strong game by this quarterback so still early but this offense beginning to build momentum and build the lead now c as we've seen over the years Chris good teams know how to use the first quarter to establish the lead the second quarter to increase the lead and the final half just to hold on to it they're following that blueprint perfectly widening the distance between them and their opponent before we even get to the locker rooms now the all important extra point p is good they're pulling ahead now 21-7 kickoff team has come on the field now to send this one away and he takes this from inside the five he's tackled at the 21 one that's where the drive will start here comes the Bulldogs offense back on the field they were forced to punt it away last time so let's see if they can get clicking in this possession quick throw catch made on the out route it's a big game before he goes out of bounds it'll move the sticks more than enough for a first down first down play call how aggressive will it be looking downfield it's Turner P back finds a Target on the right it's complete they make the tackle but that pass creates a solid [Applause] gain tackle is made but that's good for a first down of the [Applause] 47 catch hauled in here over the middle and he's brought down after a big first down gain it's second and short maybe an opportunity Kirk to take a shot here keep it on the ground there's the handoff take it down but not before he makes the first down quarterback drops back from the shotgun and it's incomplete the defender arrive the same time as the football and now it's second down sixth play of the drive coming up little eye candy here from the offense in pre- snap motion and throwing again on second and 10 this time it's complete they bring him down quickly a short pitch and catch to get a little bit closer to the marker that completion sets up an important third down Play here's the snap looking to throw here caught by the back behind the line of scrimmage and he went backwards after the catch that'll set up a fourth down now so the coach will decide to settle for three points here out comes the field goal unit field goal try no good still losing by 14 after the [Music] Miss Liberty's offense retakes the field now they really built momentum in this game they've been hard to stop can the defense make some adjustments come up with the stop here [Applause] looks left and finds his Target there and they get him down after the completion that completion makes it second and medium off play action he's looking to throw and he's tackled for a loss after the catch the defense all over that one they come to the line a long way to go for the first down but needing this crucial conversion right now and he'll drop back here on third down finds that big tight end for a short pass and he's brought down just short of the marker on that play good job by the defense to prevent the first down here's the punt high in the air the fair catch made at the 25 yd line they'll set up at the 26 for the first play of this [Applause] drive fired into tight window and pick off finally able to take him down but that's a great return after theck [Applause] here comes the Flames offense back out on the field they're looking to build on the lead they had to punt the football in their last possession makes the grab can he get there brought down at the five after the catch the offense really threatening now so down here in the Red Zone every yard tough to find here is a crucial play coming up makes the catch can he get in and he will score touchdown Liberty well they began with great field position and that didn't take long at all Cur well that's how you take advantage of an opportunity your defense sets you up in great field position you're not looking for a field goal you're looking for a touchdown give the credit to this offense for being aggressive and punching it [Music] [Applause] in so they'll try to add to the lead now with the p they convert to p so the lead is now 21 kickoff team on the field getting set now Fields it inside the 5 yd line and the coverage seam gets the returner to the ground and the Louisiana Tech offense is back out on the field now remember the last possession ended quickly an interception on the first play Let's see if they can do better here under pressure just lets it Go and it's incomp complete even in a first down throw he was under some heavy pressure the shotgun running play call he's tackled just short of the 20yd line offense breaks a huddle and gets set it's third down dropping back look going to throw for the first down grab down the middle it's Jones Matt will pick up a first down they'll spot it at the 38 that's the two-minute warning let's see if this offense can do something before the break to cut into this big lead defense breaks it up nice play incomplete empty set now five wide looking to throw it's Turner that one Falls incomplete looking for a flag doesn't get it brings up third down not going to be easy here backed up a long way to go for a first down drops back looking to throw for it on third down and he'll rifle this one deep to the right side oh that one's picked off not much on the return there but a great interception to give the offense the football at the 42 because that's backto back drives now that this offense has thrown interceptions they've got to be able to regroup on the sideline adjust their schemes maybe their personnel groupings and formations try to find a new way to attack because right now this isn't working here comes the Liberty offense back out on the field offense protecting the lead here but they've been playing so well let's see if they go for more before halftime fires it to the Wi out and he finds a wide open receiver they forgot about him downfield they stop him but it's a first down a new set of downs after that completion on First and 10 they'll look to throw it caught over the middle it's Lee they bring him down after a short gain there pass complete it's second down now short throw running back makes the catch behind the line of scrimmage now the offense will spend a timeout here wanting to come up with a perfect call on this important play coming up so the offense getting set this is not where you want to be against this defense third and long testing the defense with a throw downfield it's intercepted tried to fire it into a tight window big takeway now looks looking for a big return not just the pick but a big return sets up the offense in good [Applause] position here comes the Bulldogs offense back on the field they're in a hole here before they have a chance to regroup at halime let's see if they can cut into this big lead [Applause] receiver looks it in it's complete a timeout is called to talk strategy close game here as we approach halftime to throw it's Turner Let's It Fly of the wide out oh he doesn't hang on off the deflection there it's going to bring up a third down play we see if the offense can move the chains off that incompletion drops back needing a third down completion here t still at the 33 that's good enough for a first down the offense will Now quickly spend a timeout big guys up front lined up it's first down and the quarterback look going to make a play through the air choosing to just throw the ball away that time second down play now coming up and the quarterback drops back looking for an open man he pulls it in for a big game tackle made after a nice pick up on the play heads up the offense now operating in the Red Zone working Tight Windows it's Turner from the pocket delivers over the middle defense surrounds him just a short gain on that completion that completion sets up a second down play quarterback drops back we're going to test the secondary running out of time in the pocket gets the ball up as he's hit but it's incomplete be comes back out there not much time left perhaps just time for a couple plays before the half the pocket breaking down timeout is called to talk strategy time for just one or two plays here before halftime so on fourth down out comes the field goal unit trying to add three points here before halftime the attempt will be from 42 yd out the kick is good offense collects three points on the drive so here's the kickoff now offense settling for three t attacking on a little bit of momentum before the halftime break from inside the 15 yd line bringing it out tackled at the 22 good job by the coverage Team final seconds in the first half they will just take a knee and head to the locker room looks like the offense content to run the clock out here and go to halftime talk about the second half getting set here's second down and that will do it for the first half here Kevin Connors now has our half time up thanks Chris talk about an edge of your seat type of first half or as they call it in this conference just another typical cusa championship game and you know in a day where the spread option and air raid are the offenses of choice how nice is it to see the three yards and a cloud of dust approach although we've also seen some runs go for a lot longer physical offensive lines coupled with great backs is like a throwback to the olden days and that's refreshing and with that let's send it back to Chris and Kirk and the second half of the cusa championship the turn begins inside the 10 and he stopped at the 20 tried to make something happen but that's good coverage there Liberty's offense retakes the field now option look it's Suter fights off a Defender well there's just so many things happening on these read option plays and they happen fast this defense has done a good job of trying to prevent this quarterback from hitting the big play he gets some yards here but at least he didn't get out for a big gain fresh set of downs for the offense first down and they'll give it to the back running through the tackle the junior able to bring him down quickly offense getting set it's second down [Applause] caught in the back field it's gray to get him down quickly not much of a gain on that completion crucial third down play coming up after that run fakes the hand off looking to throw looking for his big tight end he's got a man down the middle and he moves the ball across Midfield and picks up a first down the Flames are going to keep this drive rolling and here's the handoff no nowhere to run up the middle maybe this stop is an indicator of what's to come for this defense the offense frankly has been able to enforce their will in the first half but maybe things are starting to change he's brought down but the game moves the ball to the 39 the Flames Begin a new series here first and 10 and they'll use the ground game here fighting off the defender tackle made after a big game how about setting the edge there on the right side of that offensive line I wouldn't be surprised if they keep going back to the well pounding it behind that Right Guard and right tackle and tight end seeing what additional damage they can do from the shotgun here's an inside give defense trying to Jam these receivers at the line here comes a crucial second down play every yard tough to find down here in the Red Zone they're going to run it and a decent gain there before the defense brings him down this is crucial defense needing a stop on third down trying to force a field goal try and muscle for the first half the defense all over they stop him right at the line so the decision is to not go for it but settle for three here comes the field goal team and it's good right down the middle and they add to their lead [Music] so after adding to this big lead they'll set to kick it [Applause] away and it comes out to the 25 no return it's empted there and the Louisiana attack offense is back out on the field now they settled for a field goal last time let's see what they can come up with on this possession grab down the middle it's Jackson they finally make the tackle but the big game moves the ball across Midfield to the 47 one thing we know for sure I don't know if as a play caller you can make that call without a quarterback who can throw it with a big arm he put that on a rope to the air it's Turner it'ss the running back in the flat they'll actually lose yardage after the catch the defense all over him that time now it's second down here and he'll set up to throw makes the grab it's Crawford and he'll be brought down defenses all around the country got to do a better job at keeping an eye on these little guys from the slot they can dismantle a def defense with their speed and quickness in the open space on third down it's a handoff moves the football to the 30 good enough for a first down no huddle now for the offense well that shows you the trust they have in their offensive line in this running game to get to a third down just trying to come up with a way to be able to keep this drive alive keep hope alive that you can come back in this game you're rely and all reliable with that offensive line and they come through for you here's some pre- snap movement in the back field quarterback wants to throw it on second down that's going to be incomplete a lot of contact no flag brings up third down urgency now for the offense that hate to come up empty on this drive down multiple [Applause] scores got space looking to score makes it across the goal line touchdown Bulldogs Chris he broke free from the line of scrimmage I thought he might have a 10 or 15 yd gain but he shows you the speed that he has to take it all the way to the [Applause] house and they'll set up for the pat and then they convert the point after but still Trail by two touchdowns 3117 kickoff team is on the field let's see if they give the returner a chance to bring this one back here return it from inside the 10 yd line they stop him at the 23 that's solid coverage here comes the Flames offense back out on the field the last possession they settled for a field goal but really worked on the clock let's see if they can do that again with the lead Breaking Free at the 35 he stop out at the 42 that's a solid gain getting closer to Midfield so one play moves the ball to the 42 yd line it'll be first down they'll run it out of the shotgun he's brought down but a solid gain moves the ball across Midfield at the 41 offense operating from the pistol he'll hand it off what down after picking up five yards so second and five they'll switch it up looking to throw it's complete downfield they bring him down but an explosive play by this offense big game well you could tell the quarterback knew exactly what he wanted to do with the football he was going to that end route no matter what he hits it for a nice game hand off to the back only a small gain now looking at second and nine looking to the end zone and it's caught touchdown Flames Chris memory college football is just one foot down to be able to count for a touchdown does a great job towards the back line there doesn't go out of bounds goes up into the air and gets that one foot down that's good that's a score [Music] now the important point after [Applause] attempt and the extra point makes it a three touchdown lead here's the kickoff team let's see if they give the returner an opportunity to bring this back and here's the return from inside the five he be tackled at the 17 strong job by the coverage team here comes the Bulldogs off back on the field looking downfield it's [Applause] Turner catch made on the right side and he's out of bounds after gaining decent yardage first down play call coming up how aggressive will it be here's the snap quarterback drops back caught quickly love the timing here between the quarterback and his receiver pick up some positive yards I continue to be impressed with just the the chemistry between these two quick throw to his receiver finds a receiver in the middle of the field and the gain just good enough for a first down a new set of downs after that completion out of the shotgun he hands it off he gains nine so it's second and one the back in motion now he look to throw it here on second down caught over the middle it's Jones they bring him down but a big chunky of yardage on the play the offense operating at Peak efficiency they come to the line again here comes a throw from the Red Zone pressure is coming that's incomplete even on a first down pass attempt he felt heavy pressure second down play coming up for this offense shotgun formation here's an inside give an important third down conversion coming here in the Red Zone on third down he drops to throw looking to the end zone and he's got it touchdown Louisiana Tech well that's a thing of beauty right there good job all around offensive line gave the quarterback enough time quarterback puts it right on the money and with this receiver running around route like this makes it pretty simple all he had to do is get his head turned around catch that football he's already in the end zone for the touchdown and they'll set up with the Pat and he knocks it right through here's the kickoff team Now set to boot this one [Applause] away return starts from inside the five he'll be tackled at the 17 strong job by the coverage team here comes the Liberty offense back out on the field a beautiful balanced Drive reached the end zone last time can they keep it going here Hey listen you don't always have to have big plays to be successful it's a nice solid gain here keeps you on schedule and you get ready for that next play on the option it's Suter keeps it on the read option and gets taken down behind the line well a serious challenge for this off offense you don't want to be in third and long inside your own 20 how much of a risk will they take to try to pick up this first down makes the catch downfield they bring him down but the junior quarterback showing off the cannon and the runner takes off to his right and they've got him but there's also a flag on the [Applause] play that stings for the offense penalty will cost him 10 yards well Kirk Liberty has the lead here and they got to be feeling pretty good about things as we wrap up the third quarter let's review how we got here so one final quarter to play it's going to take a lot to turn this game around but strange things do happen in college football here's the the option play he'll toss it to the back running with purpose they bring him down that's a very solid game but still well short of the first down second down after that run on the previous [Applause] play grab behind the line it's gray defense reacts quickly a very short gain on the play the offense now looking at a third and short from their own 40 trying to keep this drive going looking for the wide out he makes the grab brought down to the 47 and that will move the sticks the Flames look to keep this drive moving hand off here from the shotgun and the defense able to hold him there to a short gain this drive has already taken more than three minutes off the clock as you come up on second down dropping back it's Suter close to the tight end pass Falls incomplete there was a lot of contact no penalty brings up third down they come to the line a long way to go for the first down but needing this crucial conversion right now catches made down the middle an explosive play they finally grab him but the ball moves inside the 25 they'll try to pick up the yardage on the ground hey it's a great job of this defense containing the running game but if I'm calling the plays I'm not abandoning the running game just yet I think it's important to have some sense of balance so throwing and running is essential stick with it not much on that play brought down short offense thinking touchdown not field goal facing a third and long from the 20yd line defense is coming after him he'll avoid the tackle there with a slide the Flames will line up on First and 10 an inside give now from the shotgun he's going to lose yardage here the defense pursues and forces him out of bounds and the Long March continues offense pushing the ball down the field from the shotgun it's a handoff he's sworn by the defense here we go third down close to the goal line they can still get a first down without scoring out of the gun now on third down into the end zone touchdown Liberty [Music] [Applause] [Music] and now the try here for the extra point extra point point up and good a three touchdown lead now here in the final quarter kickoff team is on the field to boot this one away and he'll bring it out from inside the 10 and he stopped at the 20 tried to make something happen but that's good coverage there and the Louisiana Tech offense is back out on the field now they'll come out throwing here he start the drive physical defending that one Falls incomplete brings up second down back to throw it's Turner looks over the middle and that's complete that's a nice tackle there by the senior they're backed up here trying to make something happen on Third and long dropping back looking to throw for the first down let's It Go quickly and he pulls in the catch he stop him at the 49 but that'll be a first down the offense really clicking here out of the shotgun he'll hand it off and that's a solid gain before the defense able to bring him down the game makes it second in medium from the shotgun drops back looking for an open man grab down the middle it's Crawford they bring him down but that gain moves the ball all the way to the 31 first down and 10 how about the arm strength from this quarterback he really didn't have any other option than to put it right in there and give it everything that he had great timing and a good job of squeezing that in between the Defenders caught over the middle it's Jackson tackle made after the completion pass caught second down now from the shotgun he's probing the secondary and it's incomplete and a very quick throw so the offense faces third and short from the plus 26 might be four down territory but let's see what the call is here caught behind the line it's Lewis heads out of bounds after a solid gain more than enough to pick up a first down the offense threatening now first and goal and the ball is handed off out of the shotgun and we're able to get him down second down and goal trying for the End Zone running it right up the gut Ball Carrier brought down at the four offense in great scoring position here they need a touchdown here down big in the fourth quarter third and goal looking to throw it's Turner bringing pressure sails it way high out of the end zone and incomplete remember a field goal here doesn't do much so on Fourth and goal they're going for the touchdown here's the snap looking to throw and it's broken up there great play a fourth down stop so it's first and 10 inside the five how does the coaching staff play this so they run the ball to get some breathing room or will they trust the QB and be more aggressive here and they'll stop him short of the line to gain offense getting set up here's second down offense moving receivers around now before the snap one back in the back field and he'll get the carry and they'll stop him after a short game third down after that running play dropping back he going to throw for the first down quarterback escapes the pocket and takes off using his legs on the scramble and they'll move the six on that one it's a first down to the 42 man this quarterback can play the game he can throw and as we see here he can run the football the defense does everything that they need to with the pressure they look like they're in good position to be able to come up with a nice play on him but instead he shows how he can slip out of the back door of this defense and pick up a nice game second down after that run on the previous play use the running game to chew on this clock now they try the middle but gain nothing on that play what will the Call be on Third and long now from the 44 dropping back looking to throw for the first down trying to create outside the pocket now and the ball to the ground the defense recovers the fumble Bo incredible job here by this defense to create this turnover it looked like this game was over but now with this turnover they got a chance to get back in the [Applause] game here comes the Bulldogs offense back on the field last time out there they got stopped on fourth down but it didn't cost them anything let's see what the mindset is here that one Falls incomplete good defensive play brings up second down offense showing a bunch formation now to the air it's Turner fires it to the wide out finds a man open on the right side downfield they finally get him but it's across Midfield big game to the 33 it's a great play for the offense but let's give all the credit to the offensive line for that play the quarterback makes the throw but he couldn't have done it without the time that they provided running back has it on a screen now defense makes the tackle but that screen produces a pretty solid gain they'll hurry to the line here with the clock running back to throw again the pass rush closing in and he just throws that one away took a big shot but AV avoids the sack so let's see what the play caller likes here on Third and short from the plus [Applause] 27 he's picked for a third time tonight and he'll be taken down but after a good return but this defense is doing an outstanding job of baiting this quarterback into throwing the ball into coverage that's their third interception now in the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] game Liberty's offense retakes the field now great performance by this home team there's going to be a serious party around here tonight they'll run it handed off to the running back the senior able to make the stop after a short gain second down after that previous play [Applause] he hands it to the back finds room at the 30 tackle made after a solid gain they spot the ball at the 34 first down here for this offense keeping it on the ground here the stop made at the 45 but enough for a first down [Applause] that's college football you're going to have your highs and lows they had big expectations tday they just fall short couldn't get it done well Christian sat down and talked to them and you're right they put a lot into this game I think they're very confident that they had everything that it took to be able to win this football game and now they're going to have to put this one behind them learn from the mistakes move forward and still have a great season and that is going to wrap it up he enjoyed this one here C Street I'm Chris F this has been another presentation of EA Sports college football [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
