BYU Football vs Cincinnati | GAME HIGHLIGHTS (2023)

three years with USC one in Pitt and now at BYU welcome everybody to Provo Utah First Big 12 home game for the 3-1 BYU Cougars hosting another big 12 newcomer and they've got it slovis lunging ahead and they'll move the chains for the first time BYU is going to top 50 rushing offense the last three years but they ranked near the bottom of the FBS this year a mistake-filled big 12 loss of Kansas their first conference game and here is Martin he's across Midfield first down the big true freshman brought down by Jones at the 50-yard line oh and I was talking to some coaches on the field before the game and they feel like this is the game where everything for a lot of teams start to show themselves and hopefully in the positive way it is hard to score in the Red Zone we need more explosives third down and four Jones Standing Tall flips it and it's intercepted and this is going to go back to the house for a touchdown Jacob Robinson with the pick six [Applause] against Sam Houston he picks off Jones takes it back 40 yards for the touchdown and BYU is often running tonight in Provo right now [Applause] and soon now decision for Scott Satterfield on fourth down got to be wary of Emory Jones and his legs at all times Jones has time now slides up he wants to run again takes a hit and it looks like he's going to be short Henry Jones behind him get him on the linebacker Kinder again this time BYU read it right Jackson Cravens don't let him beat you running the football Jones made the check now Sprints out to the right he wants to run it and nothing doing it got to the 40 well short of the line to gain Tyler batting so good he had a Red Zone fumble recovery against Oklahoma last week L.J Martin on the Run and still moving the pile close to the 10-yard line Martin hasn't been bad in his role tonight for BYU it's just they have been unable to get anything going in the passing game now Keaton slovis threw a pick six last week in Lawrence it was very costly the city learned his lesson but apparently made another mistake there Braden Smith backs off great punt by Rico and he's going to be cut down at about the 35-yard line Marcus McKenzie the Gunner on special teams to the left I said in Red Zone situations he's the guy they want to go to Jones to the near side it is caught Evan Prater the former Cincinnati quarterback move to wide receiver in the spring Rory Bell to send her deep ER and kick into the end zone Keelan Marion's going to bring it out for BYU spins away from a tackle at the 15. living stops shy of the 20-yard line and we're talking about those quarterbacks 38 yards of total offense he is one for seven for two yards passing look at throw here and it's time to do it over the middle it's complete to Hill Keanu Hill out to the 41-yard line and by BYU has to move with urgency that's enough as we go back and look at these two passes to get them across the 50. watch his eyes looking to the right he knows he's going to come back and rip it right down the middle of the field receiver puts it on an absolute rope On Target again to chase Roberts and just like that BYU closing in on field goal Ranch 14 seconds to go before half down first time tonight slovish off his back foot throws wide open man caught touchdown Darius Lassiter a breakdown in the Cincinnati secondary no but he was covering him and it's a touchdown for the Cougars plays 82 yards in just 38 seconds that had to feel good well you're gonna get double posts from the two outside researchers they're gonna slide protection that goes back protection to give their quarterback an opportunity for Cincinnati has checked in those two guys now wearing number 98 for Cincinnati the entire secondary and unfortunately for Cincinnati does not do a good job of passing off Corner stays on the outside post route then we talked to slopes about this yesterday his ability to throw off platform to be able to retreat and still have enough juice enough Arizona State made Seven starts for the Sun Devils last year he's going to give it to the running back and he's going to be stopped short of the line to gain Tyler batty number 92 he's a great Edge rusher doing a great job in run stopping right there I want to see five ways to get Rex your talented tight end the football somehow he will throw here on first down and it's a slant caught by Roberts and he's got room in the Cincinnati territory pulled down at the 38-yard line by Jordan young one of 33 yards for Chase Roberts beautiful plaction from slovis puts the ball down into the belly the running back you see all the linebackers four straight completions now for slovis he's over 100 yards passing throwing again one-handed catch actually Isaac Rex finally getting involved in this offense the big tight end with a gain of 14. and the quarterback and Emery Jones getting first downs with his legs Cincinnati right there drops to a cover two very soft defenses plays 73 yards in just over two minutes L.J Martin Luther rookie out of El Paso third rushing touchdown we got hops like that I'll throw it up to him his first catch tonight Matt Jones in some trouble he's going to run it to the sideline takes a pop from Tooley and no penalty flag that was close The Crossing route to chase Roberts and that's going to be a first down in the Cincinnati territory a game of tens so second and 21 for BYU Slover Center pressure Ducks away sends it down field it's and he's loose loose Roberts being chased but nobody's going to catch him touchdown cougars 59 yards foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I like the movement a little little Juke throwing the cross around there was a moment I'm sure he's like oh no no no no yes let's go maybe [Applause] one catch for 14 yards for Rex Rico to punt again Braden Smith is going to let this one bounce now he touched it live football and BYU's got it at least it looks like it yes they do at the 15-yard line huge mistake once he recovered by the kicking team it's first down on BYU that is the end of the third quarter huge play to end the third BYU in the Red Zone when we come back uh just playing Simon Sound we gotta get stops on defense offense uh just gotta convert first downs but uh it's about him Cincinnati's a good team looking forward to making it work the last 15 minutes thanks coach thank you back to the quarterback for a touchdown slovis gets it to chase Roberts and it looks like he's going to have the first down first down goal to go BYU [Applause] second down and goal 13 minutes to play and it is Martin being pushed in touchdown BYU getting a little help from his friends a fumble on the punt return turns into the 7-4 points as BYU extends to lead 35-20 they put these corners on an island all night long and they've answered the Bell Jones tap dancing and now he's down first sack tonight for this BYU defense that's a loss of five fruit sack no one is open downfield and you're gonna get TN tackle twist at the top and then right clock winding down slovis rolling out look at the throw across his body throws a dart to Midfield caught by Marion transfer picks up 14. he's been pretty quiet being given permission to lead the way he wants to lead not like the quarterbacks that came before him the coaching staff wants to play to his strengths they want him to lead the way Miles Davis leading the way for another BYU first down quite a night it's getting the job done working the clock too here slovis to the outside man wide open until that's a first down and BYU back in the Red Zone Keanu Hill they're going to pump the bubble to the outside just enough to get the nickel linebacker to settle up you look at him coming right up and then it's too late at the Sean pay slip-it well I think they're thinking about more than just bull eligibility the way this season started inside handoff here's Martin again he talked about his ability to shed tacklers and drive those legs he gets to the 10-yard line very close to another first down oh this defensive line so get ready for quarterback sneak did you get it [Applause] looks like it gets to go Cincinnati doesn't have any timeouts Rory Bell kickoff specialist has it on the tee [Applause] and Roberts out there Keanu Hill on the hands team some of the better receivers and it is Roberts he's got it and BYU will have possession Robert six catches tonight 131 yards in a touchdown but that might have been his biggest plate about to secure this win as BYU can celebrate an historic win tonight in Provo the first program history and Big 12 Play as they beat Cincinnati 35-27 [Applause] Kalani satake
