NC State's defense backs off Wells has time throws it underneath to Malachi Thomas did a good job by NC State to again keep them short of the first down that was shy he battled setting we start the second quarter with a punt pulled over from the last possession Peter Moore good job getting on this one the spayer Thomas fair catch at the 16-yard line as we go down to here [Applause] pitch outside that's Demarcus Jones the running back and wolf pack moved the chains gain of nine first down NC State fake to Jones MJ the throw good shot to Devin Carter the big play receiver NC State's happy to have back fumbled and out of bounds that was post catch man sword Delane forced a gain of 16. good read by MJ Morris right there to throw the ball on Rhythm on time and accurate coaching get the sense with with Chambers now and you're possibly in four down territory so you could take a shot right here and and come back and try to get it on fourth down he'll stay on the ground and NC stare Virginia Tech's defense was there on the NC State offense J.R Walker that's a good job by the Hokies Regina Tech's gonna Blitz from the field to try to prevent that from happening designed to run can Morris get there he does in a good second effort out of MJ Moore as garbut missed the tackle and because of it drive stays alive [Applause] Blitz is on not able to get picked up down goes Morris another good job by that Hokies defense you knew they were going to be aggressive tonight with the Young quarterback that is Alan Tisdale and that's what they want to do when you have the quarterback give them the looks and you know your two top players Stacks hollowfield now and Tisdale the guys they love on this defense they depend on showing the double a gallon playing man-to-man down the field and getting MJ Moore third and 17. Morris time season he can run and perhaps gave up on that one just a little early Jaden McDonald is there to bring him down after a game is sick tribali price in Wells time can't find anyone a good job getting out of the pocket see if he keeps it himself nothing doing for Grant Wells and that was price I just mentioned a Davin van Force the pressure a minute ago comes up within a loss of one and a great job they got into their drop eight it was a Zone defensive who they ran a mesh route right there looking for man coverage I think they got Zone Virginia Tech's now oh for four on third down conversions [Applause] more [Applause] interference they got in the payer Thomas window returner of safety run an RPO quarterback run or bubble there was the fake bubble there's the run you hit both Chambers that's gonna be close tizzy he's been busy tonight this plays into Virginia Tech's hands with their exotic Blitz package State picks it up Devin Carter picks up the first down play clock at five Chambers gets the snap off quick throw to the outside that is incomplete intended for Houston NC State knows they're playing with some inexperienced quarterbacks and have a great defense and as we said Virginia Tech you want to keep it close and get it then in the fourth quarter to try to make a play but I really would love to see somebody take a shot down the field try to create a big play and try to get somebody in the end zone NC State low snap cause probs at the beginning Wells is going to go down again Davin van and there's going to be one of those timeouts because now if you're NC State you can end in half with two left we're gonna try to get good field position it'll be interesting to see to me right now which quarterback they're gonna go with you practice these situations they're going with the young guy with MJ Morris right here and you're talking about getting first downs and out of bounds situation there's a first down good shot to Thayer Thomas over the middle we're Bend across the safeties face uh in in the secondary and a great job patience standing in the pocket right now looking down the field and you see waiting for that window coming up and then you have three more shots at the end zone play clock down to five snap off there's the designed run there's Morris up the middle can he have enough for the first down and he does so clock will stop he's gonna have to come out of the game with his helmet coming off right here he can still get a first down which means nothing you gotta you gotta make this quick and he's just gonna spike it well that puts him in a unique situation again right now [Applause] zero zero at the half let's get Virginia Tech chooses to go Tempo they gave him seven so second and three pressure comes low snap good job getting it away first down Virginia Tech caught by Daquan Wright first down to start the second half ball just shy of the 40. Malachi Thomas play for him Fred Wells great job looking downfield and already there's Daquan right again completely different start to the offense after a game of 36 Hayden white brings it then balance the line right there with the tackle over he was on if you look at him the tight end is on the nub side where a tackle usually is a play action pass and the coverage loses them because that's not a normal alignment o'clock at five well it's gonna go that way to the end zone incomplete that was intended for right and a flag throwed Tyler Baker Williams back from injury on the coverage first and goal for the Hokies what a start to the third quarter for them ball at the five same unbalanced formation right here with the tight end on the on the opposite side we've got six in Raleigh watching touchdown and completely dormant in the first half that is a way to start the third quarter so six plays 78 yards you heard coach yeah there's 13 of us on the committee you know we're uh picking it all serious making sure we're doing everything in the best interest of college football team in the kick they're doing things in the best interest of their special teams that's how you get this drive started third and seven now it's MJ Morris this series he's got tied looks across the middle of the field and a nice job finding Thayer Thomas and it's going to be a first down wolf pack you might not think they're the best team in the country but their Bari of work so far I think is the most impressive of any team in America the first college football playoff rankings released Tuesday November first the college football playoff top 25 show presented by Allstate as we get ready for the release we saw MJ Morris on the NC State Drive prior to that with new Corgan in here with us nothing coming so here comes Virginia Tech taking a shot downfield like coach said there you have it big boy Caleb Smith touchdown we've been waiting they got Caleb Smith one-on-one on a first down opportunity taking the shot down the field right there they create if you you create a one-on-one opportunity give your best receiver an opportunity to make big plays down the field they've talked about how Grant Wells there's a great default he threw a great deep ball right there uh beating that's how you get the game turned around and get your offense going in the right direction I don't know is Morris Virginia Tech backs off their pressure they're able to get to him still good job to avoid it there's a penalty down that intended and caught by Jordan Houston although Virginia attacking their first two possessions has been able to create some points you are talking about at NC State Defense one of the best in the conference and the country is McDonough going to punt back to Holloway and a good job turning the field over they're going to take that second and ten foreign 's time but he was forced to leave his feet had a receiver and his caught what a grab by Malachi Thomas got one on one out of the backfield Wells led him he don't and that's what would you have your players come back the Malachi times who they love and thinks one of their playmakers that picks the team up and he comes up steps up make a huge catch third and ten for the defense keeps his eyes down field it's going to be incomplete intended for day one Lofton Shaheen battle good job on the coverage the return this is the time Thomas this is the time you come after the Zionist block scheme they were coming after that one in the game that's the time to go do it and try to come after it Bear's gonna give it a shot tries to extend it out drops the ball just has to fall on it and protect it had to run backwards but it's better than fumbling the ball and then recovering Drake to Elias [Music] [Applause] Virginia Tech ready for the Run so this third quarter could not have gone any better to this point for Virginia Tech third and long miscommunication between receiver and quarterback and it'll be another punt for NC State it was Devin Carter to learn the offensive system coming into this season that's a tough situation for them to come in and have to play with such a limited experience within the office Shane mcdonough's eighth punts at Michigan offense they have bad intentions with the ground game they are physical and they will beat you on the line of scrimmage in four quarters we'll see if Michigan State can do anything about that as the NC State Defense the loss of one there Grant Wells the ball killer she would match it in done enough to kind of give Virginia Tech some punch but here's a look at that play you see that ankle get rolled up down at the bottom of the pile as long as it's a smooth shift they can do it they just don't want to exaggerated arm movements [Applause] Wells stands in there knew he was gonna take a hit Caleb Smith got turned around and twisted back just in time with Shaheen battle on the cover but they're throwing the ball down the hill he gave him a chance just give your receiver a chance to make some plays on these deep balls down the field you have a big play receiver with Caleb Smith was sized even the opportunity to go up and make a play on the ball and he does that let's go down to Harry I think he's got he's got Caleb Smith one-on-one at the top of the screen let's see if it goes up top designed to run for Wells red the Blitzcraft was can he get one more block and they rule him out the one yard line Johnny Jordan the key block needed one more [Applause] it was a design quarterback draw against the blitz he does a great job patience to let it open up and there's just enough time that opens up from Johnny Jordan makes the block and holds on to it to Spring him free [Music] they might take a look at this happy all the time Wells his second rushing TT of the half civil convert conversations with officials they're second and ten [Applause] Morris has the time does a nice job over the middle of the field that was Devin Carter [Applause] from low that's Terrell Timmons a young player NC State's high on and that's another first down let's go [Applause] that's a good example of the young freshman's arm strength MJ Morris just zipped it over the middle of the Thayer Thomas and trust your your your playmaker receiver to make a play [Applause] ER Thomas [Applause] a veteran guy that ever you depend on within your program he gets one-on-one coverage into the slot right there runs the inside fade take the catch great throw over the outside shoulder sixth place 75 yards two minutes and 20 seconds a lot of dollar candidates football final here comes the pressure Wells out of his own End Zone he's gonna tuck it and run trying to cut back and they are gonna throw the flag we're checking the play from Masada I saw a saw look they liked of something they want to get to on this defense Caleb Smith copy your screen pressure Thomas and that's the play NC State needed they own the third down right there they saw the blitz coming so mental mistake out of the wolf pack defense and Peyton Wilson his fellow linebacking mate Drake Thomas bails him out Thomas Fair catches just shy of the 40-yard line the key is just run your offense [Applause] here he goes taking a shot has the youngster Terrell Timmons it was freshman on freshman football in that time Timmons got the best of man sword in the lane in the wolf packer in business they were looking they're really excited about Timmins his big playability they want to get him involved in the offense they got him one-on-one and you can see the talent this younga has speed and athletic ability empty backfield now for the wolf watch the tight end on a jump pass here there it is oh do we have a football game at Carter Finley [Applause] foreign they wanted to get to it right here they shift Jones the receiver out and you see two Virginia Tech players run out with them causes confusion kind of bunch formation bottom of the screen empty backfield incomplete so it'll be a for NC State that they'll need if they want to win this football game Armani Chapman coverage quick snap run up the middle and that was Drake Thomas on Holston hunting from his end zone Peter Moore Thayer Thomas situated at the 50. yelling to get away and that ended up being a very productive bounce ball spotted at the 40-yard line ball just shy at the 40. touchdown drives on their last two possessions Morris quick throw has that Rhythm has Trent panics who scored the touchdown and a first down wolf pack gain of 14. [Applause] good timing good throw Devin Carter in a first down pack you want when he comes back in and a great throw by MJ Morris against the blitz he knew he had one-on-one into the boundary on time puts it over the outside show you my financial advisor [Applause] sides and a first down for Virginia or for NC State [Applause] Fair Thomas End Zone will Pat Take the Lead however flag on the play and here it is off the screen they got a blitz look right there for Raleigh special oh quick Sprint to the flag they are oh for two on two-point conversions and because of it now Virginia Tech that's a big stop by Mario Kendricks twice Duke in the game here comes the Blitz that was Peyton Wilson [Music] a third down earlier in the game if you look right here they cause it's twist a delay Blitz the back's supposed to pick up he gets picked one off sides ten false starts third and 23. no snap Wells grabs it that was Holston out of the backfield so Peter Moore from his two-yard line Thomas faircat safe at the 35. it is a one-point game clock approaching four minutes third and three Houston right at the nick of time third and three clock approaching two minutes [Music] They're Gonna Keep It on the ground with huge game Houston makes it hot Houston gets a first down Connor again in the uh the in Florida against Oklahoma and it's such a great view from up here you see so much football how about that and how about the win for Dave Thorne and NC State and what an effort out of them to come down from 21-3 to get the win and it shows the culture of these guys right now they they wanted to come back this year and play for a championship that's gone but this team doesn't give up they have a lot of seniors on the team but you see what he's built here and why this team is a key team that can compete every single year here at NC State
