Michael Smith the booming leg for the [Music] Rattlers and coming out of the endzone on the return and norol state guy that can move around in the pocket as well tremendous presence for norol State ion King with the carry he'll be tested against a very stingy florid danm defense first pass attempt for the Spartans and it is complete to Eliah [Applause] Mitchell and in motion and they hand it the BR here crease up the scene and how about keep on King yes an 82 yd Sprint to the end zone hasn't got a win against FL A&M since 2017 will they open this season graduate out of Miami and the first play from SC Ag and they hand it off really nowhere to go for creativity some of the words that they use to describe his style of play making the right decisions with the football last year's championship team with playing experience of penalty on the play as sumers set on the carry first and 15 after the penalty and the carry and really nowhere to go controlling the line of scrimmage especially against a defense like norol state which is collapse in the pocket Richardson rolling to his right and incomplete through the hands of his intended [Applause] [Music] target Richardson down the field deep into coverage and preseason First Team all swack punter lets it Fly and pum calls for the fair catch that the Spartans made back on the field for their second possession JZ Jones the pass incomplete on the outside on second and 10 they hand it off once more this time it's zavon Evans as we sent pass well last time it was third down the 82 yd Scamper for a touchdown and another big run here on third down from 23 yd pickup for Evans and they hand the ball off again this time really nowhere to go TS in stopping the Run only giving up 94 yds on the ground here the spark is taking full advantage Jaylen Daniels hands it off once again having success up the middle and going right to the team State thus far averaging 16 yards per carry on the ground once again the rushing attack and staying on his feet improved according to the coaches and this time up the middle again Kon King who was closing in on continue to do Crow the Box bring it tight end in there and just look for some Running Room 10th play of the drive right here Daniels deciding this Rattler defense has to figure out something here as Evans and this SP from the one yd line they're going to try to push it in Jaylen Daniels he gets across the goal line and so it seems but no in all of FCS football yep Florida A&M ranked 25th defense one HBCU national championship see what they can do to get back on the right track well this is the celebration Bowl off down the Bison I think one of the keys is going to be this line of scrimmage I mean norol state is showing that they affected undersized quarterback at 510 and he decides to keep it calls his own number shows up hot bed for football in the State of Florida hands it off here on First and 10 and AJ Richardson on the stop the football on the back field now that Franklin but instead the play action and it's complet still on his fenus hling the defend stake Richardson with time has the man into the end zone tremendous concentration for the touchdown Pam you Cameron Gillis on to attempt the extra point call like I see it the Spartans open again just like they have done all game with no not when you've got take a look at the same numbers you got eight guys in the Box for norol State I don't have to worry about that safety from up high then you can almost pick how you're going to get there way to hold here though on third down and a big norfol state out of the Mak by a score Daniel Richardson with time has a man open in some space and the pass is and right now Richardson you talk about that glue three pass for 20 plus yards this time he's going for it again and great pass break up by Dev let's see what the Virginia Beach native does here on second down and nowhere to go but backwards along the line of gain the nyd line of the Spartans and set up a little screen and let thus Franklin try to do the rest but a number of green accurate leg for the Rattlers throughout his career it's good and if nor State wins this game Co is going to get that job back well right now they're winning the battle on the ground and no whistle there is King again trying to bounce the outside Deo Wilson one of the tacklers the 25th rank team in FCS football here on second down and driven backward the tackle for loss J he's a big kid coming over from Lane College out of the siac division two meanwhile Chiron Benjamin full steam ahead tonight and they're going to continue to add to that total bounce it to the outside trying to cut back in and a first down picked up by Benjamin coordinator had great success at all corn State and now he's got the recipe for Success early on here as he's got a stable of running back ball that's effectively we're fortunate King already who's a mass a career high and he stuffed y field goal granded Rox and the BBL snep this was an issue that we heard about in pregame as field goal As Time expired and the northr State Spartans do some of the same as complete to the outside Jamari Gass had don't be too late ordering your tickets and end up sitting on the front row cuz all the young people know how to order tickets online but the movie is the conference how not according to the voters in the preseason poll as they were selected number two behind third down third and long you don't want to give nor State the ball back looking and bounces it as Richard ice was good okay let me test your knowledge on uh just current songs that are out there Jaylen Daniels and Richardson who you said had an opportunity to subit his legacy replacing Jeremy Musa great throw there and the completion to J and it was a little bit surprising cuz we thought they wanted him to go out here and win the game he was a manager and then he showed that he can win the game and you look at norol State we thought he is leading the 25th ranked team in FCS to start the season and On The Run he's got a man and into the hands of Jamari Gasson for a score 55 yds out make a deep R here on First and 10 and the big pass here from Jaylen Daniels and great body control and talking to the offensive coordinator wanting big explosive plays they've gotten it on the ground and they're through the air as well we love the decision making of jayen Daniels and the RPO he tucks it and runs lunges out and the rler 11 yd line and bad connection there between Daniels Daniels looking to his left then goes to his right scrambles outside the pocket avoids one tackler still on his feet and the 29 yd attempt for will [Applause] Cox this time snap good whole good who got left out at number 13 or 14 cuz you're not one of the best teams in the country so I think the college football playoff committee kind of a crazy September I believe hey cute what you think about my Gimme Five when I said what about the coaches quarter I mean this is going to be the first time in a while to see potentially one of the greatest years of college football with this new college football playoff expansion let's go back let's you think that's not going to be a real white out up there I mean it could be some memorable scenes for the upcoming future college football on second and seven and the NCAA tournament in the last couple of years Daniel Richardson got a man Hees it up into the we want to keep some continuity you see them going from the air more but the pressure able to avoid and get the ball out still as Daddy is Franklin reiew A&M but what he was around with Kendall Bry Bobby patrino and Company as Richardson once more avoiding pressure has a man in the back of the end zone Cameron Gillis back on top and adding making it 247 they need to get back to running the football effectively like they did in the first half rolling looking downfield and he's brought down swarmed by penalties a season ago from Florida A&M they got to do a better job of not hurt themselves play action down the bill kle Bower get to them instead focus on what you've been working for leading up to this board out there on the Island's got tremendous spe size and experience and what I'd say is if Kenny gal stop cuz it's off def is slowed down a lot defense just makes a stop so Florida A&M cannot increase this lead broken play it was it was him just making a play so I'm glad he's on our team thank you coach all right thanks so much and we heard figure out a way to win it in each scenario can still happen Richardson who has found the touch you know of yell well right now he's got to be proud of this Florida A&M football team and his new quarterback and D we're going to find a way to win and you know how to challenge your team nice throw out of the back field and there's some laundry is a lot of transition for this Florida A&M football team and and you have to say when you Ross Willie Simmons is a great Workhorse wide receiver that the coaches describe the kick is up and it's good 17 on air winning the battle the line of scrimmage on run plays and they've worn down the score take defense and fball on the field and it looked like norfor football so the last thing you want to do is get caught into a stunt and once they eliminate fact things happen so kind kind of to prove the point there is at risk of trying to get a big play but if they hit you they can hit you for some big yards in the running game Jay I love that breakdown and an with the hand off to the running back in some space that's where they had success career high tonight for him as d Daniels finds Thomas and Cameron Thomas third and two man in motion and this one is whistled dead as a the play Daniels back going forward all one-on-one coverage on the outside and the adjustment what a closing in on 100 yds receiving Jaylen Daniels who's already picked up one on the ground and let's go to our two [Applause] on second and goal King got in one time and guess what he's in again of the night they call him squirm he squirmed his [Music] way oh that one is block and that's going to be huge Daniels shifting and he's brought down the big stop Eric horn in on the you got to definitely check out that new attraction which is so very cool at the College Football Hall of Fame and now there he is he's got his man as the P program and continue to build on this blueprint that I've established that Frank right now the mob has held it down and he's looking for a little bit of Running Room and that's that Franklin running behind wa 220 220 plus in the game well they can cycle through a stable to call a timeout a timeout right after this play as again slipping through as Kelvin Dean but nor State needing to come up with the big stop here and this is a free play as it's used up couple penalties and another one's going to come out but Florida en& M found a way to come back after being and James KY II soaks in this moment
