you know as Anu tanasa made the tackle on that last run it's Barry going to keep it gave a little look to the outside just a hesitation goes forward for five on the quarterback draw that is beautiful it's a QB trap you set up Let The Tackle go trap him and right up the Middle with the with the quarterback Jackson Barry Flags come in [Applause] four of them they want to make sure you knew FSE start offense time to throw and it's complete across the 40 Jordan Jefferson the new running back in the game and he is met and dropped by Landon or Lander [Music] Barton pressure complete to the tight end not a whole lot there there you see the pressure from the outside getting up the field stopping that play they're really trying to collapse the pocket from the outside and bring it Barry from the gun pressure coming dumps it off sets up the screen but good coverage behind that pass rush completed it to Jordan Jefferson for a short gain Zaya B on the tackle that's what you want to do you want to counter that pass for eight for the Thunderbirds Barry with time now he's hit and escapes Dives forward across the 35 down to the 33 but that's short of the first down Southern Utah turns it over on down to the UT offense makes it great pass rush up front you know especially by kinu swims but at the end of the day you know it's like they punt it so I guess that's why they thought that it would be a great in great interest to them to go ahead and just run the play it was keano Keanu tanova under Center this time for the first time play action looking down the middle of the field field he's got a man it's caught that's Dorian singer started his college career at Arizona TR is a gain of s team they want to back set behind him that's keithy that goes in motion from right to left it's Bernard

on their big guys let see who tremendous experience Rising nearly picked off that one was through the hands tipped at the line Maybe by Walker Harris of the game they're two for two so [Applause] far on the ground it's Bernard and he's going to be close marked about a yard short of the first down [Music] fourth and one coming up for this Utah offense starting to get a little penetration up front by this defensive [Music] line one minute left in the first quarter Utah offense stays on the field they have got a ton of depth at tight end you would expect a heavy package here as they break the Huddle Mike Mitchell into the game at tailback he gets the handoff and has enough for the first down keeping the drive alive Rich almost shed a tear all that beef on on offensive line going across and we're just going to make our big guys beat up your little guys up front come off the ball we're not even trying to fake it just hand it off and and and just run for the first down says the former offensive lineman from Kansas State 12 years in the NFL and a Super Bowl ring with the Pittsburgh Steelers Mitchell stays in the game as the tailback Bernard Glover and Mitchell the three primary tailbacks we're going to see on the ground again and Mitchell with a cut back ball comes out he's able to recover his own fumble though some chunk yardage thanks okay they've already got one of those big plays the 64 yd touchdown pass have they got another one yeah yes they do welcome back brt keithy touchdown Utes great play [Applause] design 29 yds on the pitch 1 for keithy now in his seventh year in college football you watched that play it was 13 Personnel three tight ends to the right side snuck out Kei on a delayed release touchdown how about Mike Mitchell selling that play action going airborne into the line of scrimmage extra point is good and Utah is in front 14 nothing great great play design so attention to 12% block down turn around delay release Kei takes it up and by that time the safety sees him and he's already gone touchdown right up the scene KY wh inam mentioned chunk plays that's the second of the night both of them have resulted in touchdowns the 60 for the Ring of Honor here at the University of [Applause] Utah big hit at the sideline Braden Whistler back into the game as the tail back to the right of Jackson Barry coach delay Gerald and Southern Utah told us that we would see two quarterbacks in this game but so far it's been Jackson Barry and Southern Utah has to burn a timeout before the first down play it's a tough scene to watch for Kenan Johnson the Georgia Tech transfer playing in his sixth year of college football not much on first down there for Braden Whistler no gain on the play second and 10 here for southern Utah they moved the ball on their first two drives drives punted from Midfield and then turned it over on Downs this one batted at the line of scrimmage aliki V vimahi coaching staff Chase Merrill went in motion Barry with time now the time runs out and he falls forward back to the 20 yd line that time it was Logan fno with the pressure you know ran Glover back to receive the punt from Elias vigil vigil hits this one off the side of his foot and it goes out of bounds not the punt not the field flip that southern Utah was looking for UT for your QB here that's starting field position for Utah there's a flag on the play Jaylen Glover into the game that's his first Carry of the night we'll check on the flag with going into last season lover on the ground with a nice cut back gets it up the middle down to the 30 yd line there was some thought that Rising was 2021 he was first team all Pack 12 keithy on the reception and he shoved Out of Bounds at Macky watch list for the best tight end in the country and in this first year in the Big 12 he is preseason First Team all Big 12 and he's got another touchdown what a night for Brandt keithy the saw giv him from a Personnel standpoint it's one of the great things about this Utah offense the flexibility that they've got with the tight end to position and really it's the ends on both sides of the ball two of the deeper position groups tight end on the offensive side and deep possession just three plays for minus two yards this Utah defense starting to swarm that is a good first down run for targi Lamson ultimate this time play action pass incomplete Little Too Tall that time for Zach Mitchell couldn't go up and haul it in and that pass came for Bronson baren second and 10 back on the ground this time it's Lamson just shy of the 45 going bring up third down and manageable movement up front from that Utah defensive line Baron stands in it's batted down at the line of scrimmage it was van fillinger and keep from doing that Glover with the fair catch at the 20yd line the soft in the game for 150 yds Stanley in the back out of the back field releases it's the same play a wheel route and he's going to take it the distance no Flags touchdown Utah 79 yards instead of watching the running back out of the back field Cole Becker 28 for 28 a year ago four for four tonight on point after tries and it's 28 nothing Utah game that you got that direct helmet communication one player on the offensive side one player on the defensive side can hear from the coaching sta that is so big Rich that is so big to play and remember we said it a second ago this is an FBS rule Southern Utah an FCS team is not wearing the direct communication tanasa on the tackle Nisa play this year he's had a great off season played a little bit a year ago said this is his time mova fluidly here there's him again move so fluidly they running a little X game he gets out but he can redirect right section couple of years removed from being named the best student section in college football zon fotu on the tackle short of the first down manto man Zone whatever it is they're just covering the receivers for the southern Utah team and this is nothing new for Utah defense they were top three in Total Defense in the Pack 12 in each of the last seven years LED offensive coordinators having a great day with formations Personnel packages and just moving in the [Applause] offense Bernard we that's tough on the defensive line hand off to Stanley he's brought down after a gain of four and that's outside Zone double te in the back field alongside cam Rising who wants to throw again he's going to take off and he'll go down head first at Midfield yeah he does there there does not appear to be a lot of rust back on the ground here the other school of thought is you named a true freshman the backup quarter around his neck it says sorry guys just had to get a quick workout in Rising on the bootleg that one is complete to Dorian singer his second catch of the game wide receiver room he saw the from Southern Cal a year ago it was a sophomore season at Arizona where he exploded and Jaylen Glover releases out of the back field Rising scrambles forward and goes down spot him just shy of the 30 at the 31 yd Rising with time floats it over the middle through the hands incomplete trying to connect with McKai Pitman excuse me m mcki Bernard is the running back in the game that may change the plans for Kyle Whittingham and the is the punter for Utah and he is a good one he's hit a flag comes down punt goes into the end [Applause] zone Rising incomplete lot of contact I'll pass him down Dean Stanley motions in and then out of the back field Rising takes a shot at the 15 yd line and R you say he takes a shot out of respect for what South Dakota state has been absolutely keithy on the reception fighting his way into the end zone for a touchdown that's a grown man TouchDown for brt keithy his third third of the game career high he had four touchdown passes a couple of years ago against San Diego State yes five tonight in the first half against Southern [Music] Utah Co Becker stays perfect and this is going to be a touch back out the back of the End Zone on a beautiful Thursday night First full opening weekend of the college football season Isaac Wilson headed back out you were with this in halftime you heard Kyle Whittingham say we kind of put him in a tough spot there my guess is that Isaac Wilson had kind of envisioned the second half largely being fielded with Isaac Wilson Kyle Whittingham says he simply got better every single day in Camp he was an early en rolly so after winning a state champor told us in our meetings that it was about 10 somewhere between practice 10 and 14 of Camp everything changed work ethic got better film study and the commitment to learning The Playbook got better and he clearly separated himself let's go downstairs you absolutely want that and you know because he came in early it allowed him to not just learn the off he can learn the offense but learn what it is to be a youth number one floats this one down the middle of the field incomplete culture Kyle Whittingham said that starts in recruiting with the way that his assistant coaches identify players coach them up after they project the second half pretty powerful quote there you will become us we will not become you Jackson Barry back in to start this second half played most of the first quarter from a culture standpoint gold even in these blowout situations on the ground targi Lamson the senior from Spanish Fort Utah brought down one of the things that soon I thought Morgan scall Had interesting things to say about the fact that he has to focus on the job that he's got not the job that he's going to have one day big completion there to Mark Bales he's had a nice game tonight bals with his third catch it's the biggest pass play of the night for the Thunderbirds it's Lamson Straight Ahead going back to that conversation with Morgan scall the defensive coordinator ask he like second down play and that one is intercepted Elijah Davis steps in front of the pass that's the first turnover created by this Utah defense tonight onto the field hand off from Wilson Glover on the carry let's check in with Marilyn you talk about Morgan scall and the future that he has with this program feedback his accountability calling is his greatest quality dejon Stanley on the carry what a night for dejon Stanley he's got two touchdown receptions in southern Utah territory Mike Mitchell is the tailback Wilson on play action dumps it off underneath complete coach him up you know eventually this will be you know water off the back but hey I tell you what this this you team is also having an opportunity they learn especially young guys getting some reps got any handwritten notes from Bill Snider more than handwritten notes Isaac Wilson trying to scramble his way to the first down marker he's knocked out of bound short by Brendon down for Utah Wilson dumps it complete that's a first down and more on the reception dran Zipperer gain of 18 and a first down and Isaac wils zipper once again Brandon ha college football so now first and 21 I beg your pardon first and 10 from the 21 Lando Brown on the [Applause] tackle Wilson with a clean pocket delivers a strike that one is complete to Luca cerella good Jersey now in a Utah UTS Jersey and it's BR long [Music] day L Fitzgerald the head coach at Southern Utah later Zack Wilson floats into the end zone and complete loner couldn't hang on may have gotten a away it's Landon King the tight end moving to the right side stretch to the left Mitchell trying to get to the corner going for the pylon touchdown Mike Mitchell his first Shadows of the wasach mountains to the East and the ochre mountains to the west southern Utah will start this drive at the 25 yd Line Jordan Jefferson rankings they shut out Murray State 51 to nothing tonight Jackson Barry trying to keep this play alive and doing a good job with his feet he Loft it down the field he's got a receiver that's Mark Bales on the catch and Bales will be the start of the fourth quarter at rle stadium in Salt Lake City Utah in control leading 42 to nothing cam rising at five first half touchdown passes it's now Isaac Wilson's game and tonight it has been then low on September 25th who was wearing Jordan's 22 during that 2021 season to celebrate his team meet now the number 22 is retired here back on October 30th 2021 a really special moment each home game here at Rice eckle stadium is dren Zipperer actually you know gave him the same respect stood [Applause] also Wilson on the Run and he's picked off in the end zone that one's taken away by Jaden Robertson he brings it out and he's dropped down low little out rout but you look up top tried to get it to him got a little too greedy just a learning experience for the Young quarterback under thrown a little bit Caleb loner you [Applause] mention Bronson Baron back into the game at quarterback gain of four on the carry there [Applause] power again on the handoff trying to get to the outside and nowhere to go Jonathan Hall third and eight for the Thunderbirds deep in their own territory and there's movement up [Applause] front ball at the three yd line bowering in the back field Baron from the shotgun he's got time but he fires high in defense had a couple stops but still you know I mean stuff that he can coach off of and a freshman and now a third-year sophomore into the game for Utah it is Brandon rose rose takes a a shot toward the end zone big Target also so makes it kind of easier all right I got to admit I completely screwed that up it looked like they were going to bring Brandon Rose into the game based on warming up on the sideline that was a touchdown pass for [Music] Isaac Touchback on the kickoff first out new quarterback in the game Jordan Paso number seven for southern Utah offense number seven 5yd penalty on this film for Utah absolutely they going to see things you know especially early and you know they're going to see a lot of what these players can actually do you know when you're in Camp and you're going against each other and give a young player or even a veteran player who's trying to take their game to the next level left [Music] Jordan Jefferson goes in motion out of the backfield poso trying to escape pressure and he just throws this one away into the Utah sideline bringing up third down as once again it's great cover they've got the reserve players in there and these guys look pretty good also 17 team was the last to make the FCS playoffs three all time there's another sack for the Utah defense this time it's number 98 for the yous you know pun has been very shaky this entire game by Southern Utah a couple of good ones but there have been a couple of tough ones as well better punt this time fielded at the 45 by Ron Glover he is not championships in 2011 or excuse me 21 and 2022 and now they've got their eyes set on a big 12 championship in their debut season the UCF you know the physical brand of football they're going to be having you know as far as you know lighting it up in the air how will they deal with [Music] that Charlie Vincent working his way toward the not got any easier this year the addition of Utah Arizona Arizona State and Colorado you know R you know when we look at it last year we were like week nine back on the ground and a big run here for Hunter Andrews number 12 Utah leading at home 49 nothing back on the ground needed three yards for a first down brings a tear to my eye Hunter Andrews to the side of Isaac Wilson on the ground Andrews trying to spin for the first down looks like the Mark is going to have to get some points on the board inside 5 minutes to play trying to avoid the shutdown this time it's Cameron ay on the [Music] carry quick toss and ay gets to the outs side some hard running by the [Applause] [Music] Thunderbird now Al Fula back in the ball game at running back Southern Utah will make the trip to El Paso next week to take on utap Paso Brock dropped he's going to have to dream up some plays you know to really take advantage of the receivers on the outside it's a whole lot of uh 11 personnel still out there but maybe you need to take that tight end out put another receiver in there spread out a little more this time that pass deflected at the line of scrimmage had an open receiver as show did dumped off and big hit at the end there Ali Fula transfer from West Virginia he's got a 48 yd attempt coming two-minute timeout but first we get a break two-minute timeout the 48 yd try Gavin Lipkin is the snapper [Applause] field goal try is on the way and it's hooking Miss is out to the left and the shut on the field with the offense and Brandon Rose into the game new quarterback third quarterback of the night used for the youths hey Marilyn I was just going to tell you the the good news that I had for you and the words as well I might have spoken too soon on the good news we'll see how it goes new that I've always been we're all
