offense here Lee nowhere to go that time into a crowd maybe a gain of knocking on the door start of the fourth quarter this new era of Bulldogs football shapen took a hit there at the end of the play he's looking for the tight end trior well you get a guy who's coming off kicking duties this year 16 out of 22 on his field goals a season ago and he shanked that one well it's a bad snap you look at the snap the holder never gets it down pressure pressure pressure from the outside morisy to the far side of the field that pass is caught Bryan Johnson hangs on Lost [Applause] His pressure pocket collapsing never mind bad timing there down goes morisy of course came into this one of the heavy favorites against an FCS a very fine program at that in Eastern Kentucky nice strong run for Johnny Daniels ke he would he had 18 completions in one game yeah here's Parson on the Move Scamper to the outside improvising nicely there picked up makes it stronger well Georgia with Parson here's a got it block oh they going to touch touchdown Mississippi State craer is on it he way that was is Johnson coming off the corner they don't block him and he goes and comes around the fourstar rookie who came in with a whole lot of potential and upside you know and it's got to feel good this team coach you know there's it feels like with so many first year players remember 53 newcom so they've got the big lead here here late in the fourth quarter and you knew it was going to be an uphill climb of course for Eastern Kentucky let's yep Carter bounces it to the outside lowers the shoulder and he's down at the 43 after a gain of six we heard a lot of players in Camp and we heard it from oh here inter a flag though on the near side of the field pick six are we going to take this one back all the way Elijah Cannon to the end Z they have scored in all three phases today that's right and so first one we all remember John Hancock signature sometimes just the first and the bigest he has worked for some prominent head coaches over the years moris he falls on this one bad snap goes up over his head and the fan base largely as well I think they wanted to see something very exciting from this team in game one of the new era and they have certainly seen that you know it's it's been quite the career to look back on huh it is hey you know my I I coached wide receivers at one time you see that I don't know way I Tred to even like here we came here I won here and I got beat here but it it it's so much fun when you go into enemies territory and go win games oh what a big run Hey listen you're on our side down it's a statement season opening win for the Bulldogs they were certainly heavily favored in this one books for Jeff Levy in his head coaching debut in starfi and you know I think Kevin he got a chance to just see his team they may have made some enjoyed it coach I certainly did for Charlie Strong and our entire great production crew of Kevin Fitzgerald good night from Starkville good night ch [Music]
