details on the field his team his way can't wait to see what he does today ball handed off they'll stop him behind by the Ste your first level Defenders hold their own at the point of attack allowing the second and third level players to roam free and make the tackle close to the line of spr short D tough situation for the offense third and long their 25 we'll see if the defense brings some heat here receiver makes the grab MERS will line up to boot it away on a pun now for the first time today not the way he wanted to kick it but he's got some here the coverage team makes the stop on this return so Syracuse's offense gets their first crack now all right kir let's take a quick look at the impact players for today's game and not only when you need a play to be made but also when you need somebody to Rally your team they'll come out flowing here to start the drive a quick throw defense reacts quickly a very short gain on the play finds up [Applause] quickly they'll run it out of the shotgun takes a big shot there from the defense but moves the sticks first down here comes the uptempo offense play action here on first down PR the right with a quick throw it's caught down field he bring him down but not before he gets inside the 30 yd line boy they do a great job here on play action the linebackers were completely fooled two or three steps up into the line of scrimmage op up a nice lane behind the backers between the safeties for the quarterback to make the lead and good throw down field on first down they'll keep the running game churning Nowhere to Run El coralin for no game coming to the line on second down this is important they want to avoid a third and long linebackers trying to confuse this offense now out of the shotgun he'll hand it off the ball carrier taken down but there's a flag on the field 10 yard getting set here's second down from the shotgun now here's a hand off inside the junior about Gap Integrity not giving this running back any creases at all really sound defense on that play Drops back looking to throw for it on third down that one is over every so on fourth down they will settle for a field goal attempt the distance will be from 38 yd out the kick is good offense collects three points on the drive it breaks the score's tie here makes it three nothing snap the hold the kick everything there perfect to put three points up here for the offense his offense is back out on the field they coming off a three and out looking to produce a positive drive here one man at the back field and he'll get the football important second down play coming up quarterback appears to be changing the play he look to throw it here on second down get the B up as does a great job of getting after the quarterback and forcing him into that incompletion drops back looking to throw for it on third down catch made on the left side brought down but broke a tackle so the Syracuse offense head back out onto the field settled for a field goal last time out can they open things up on this possession first play of the drive they're going to throw the football he finds his man love to see the short passing game is a great goto for any offensive coordinator in the first quarter because it's reliable and allows you to see how the defense is reacting that can open up for other things on tackle is made very near Midfield good enough for a first down Syracuse finds up quickly BB is looking to jam the receivers at the snap off the play fake looking to throw and he's going to fling it deep going for it all here intercepted In The End Zone well this is the chance you take back there carrying the ball tell you what they have a little bit more confidence when the person that's carrying the ball can break off some big time runs on the junor gets home Chris this one's on the quarterback in my opinion he's got to have a better feel and a presence in the pocket to be able to either check it down or get rid of the ball you just can't take the S the offense facing a tough conversion here third and long from the 42 there's the snap quarterback setting up to throw cannot Escape coming third down and long those defensive linemen are in that Sprinter stance they know the offense is going to have to throw great job of using that athletic ability speed to get after the quarterback to come here comes the Syracuse offense back on the field we'll see if this quarterback can shake off the interception he threw in the last possession they'll keep it on the ground running back has a hand off great job by the offensive line here opening up some holes and giving the running back room to run on first down play like this open up the playbook for the play caller allow him to make that defense think are they going to run maybe play action maybe throw the ball down field and the runner brought down after just a short game offense breaks the Huddle and gets set it's third down looking to pick up the first down through the air but just gives up on the plate last time they were forced to pun it away and they get points out of this POS off the play fake on first down the pass rush closing in looks to the left and it's complete tackled at the 32 you see throwing blocks yeah this guy actually played running back in high school he got a little bit bigger they moved him to fullback you can see the athletic ability still displays incomplete second down coming out here's the snap quarterback looking to throw but they can't make not going to be easy here backed up a way to go for a first down looking to Chuck it again trying to create here on the move this one so the Syracuse offense has back out onto the field they're coming off a quick three and out so looking to put something together on this drive with a little more urgency and he's brought down offense going back for job with your fake as a quarterback the defense did not fite it all on the play action allowing them to continue to come after the quarterback and come up with that sack delivers from the pocket complete over the middle they bring him down that's a very solid game but still well short of the first [Applause] down dropping back they going to throw for the first down running back grabs it on the screen the defense back out it start the quarter offense getting set to win a first down play look out throwing here to start the drive quarterback looking to scramble he's found some room at the 45 an explosive by the 40 the offense finally producing here sets up a first and 10 shotgun formation here's an inside handoff picks up two so coming up and run the second down play coming up and the quarterback drops back looking for an open man easy throw to a wide open receiver downfield touchdown Mountaineers this back on fire today that kind of play is almost impossible to defend when the quarterback is throwing the ball with that kind of accuracy and timing and the receiver runs a route like this good luck trying to stop it so maybe this is a great start for this combination his quarterback and receiver for a big day here comes the Syracuse offense back on the field this group is coming off a quick three and out can they put something together in this drive and brought down at the line by that big defensive tackle Syracuse finds up [Applause] quickly second down we're going to throw it it's a quick grab wter scoots out of BS after gaining decent yards an important third down attempt for this offense Q decides to keep it here and may they reached the end zone the last time out try to do the same thing here first play of the drive they'll come out throwing catch made on the left side defense and picks up Big yards or the defense completely negates that the team speed from the defense here wins that play quarterback moving out of the pocket trying to create pass B is incomplete they come to the line a long way to go the first down but needing this crucial conversion right now moving the receiver around prap on third down he drops to throw quarterback escapes the pocket breaks loose at the 40 and they make the down they get the pressure but they don't account for the quarterback and his ability to scramble and create picks up the first round to keep this drive a lot with the catch it's Robinson finds room at the 30 nobody can bring him down all the way to the end zone touchdown West Virginia this guy can do it all we've seen him go behind coverage and make plays down field they can see him catch the ball underneath just like this when he catches a football he is so dangerous after the catch this one leads him into the end zone for the six points [Applause] kicking team out for the pat try the PC is good so it's a 143 lead head back out onto the field they were held to a quick three and out last time looking to put together a positive drive here on first down it's play action that pass Falls incomplete we got to get this cleaned up before the next time they go through the air offense facing a second and 10 hand off here from the shotgun you know in an era that we live in right now everybody wants to spread the field around try to create space try to create one-onone matchups and the defense has countered over the years by trying to play out wide but here's a great example the defense has the ability to play wide but would still be solid at the line of scrimmage not give up big one play offense been in Reverse here now a long way to go to convert this third down cannot connect into this lead second down after the incompletion and the quarterback looking to make a play through the air def so the offense getting set this is not where you want to be against this defense third and long dropping back they going to throw for the first down he's going to be brought down by that fero now coming off a three and out looking to produce a positive drive here off the play fake looking to throw on first down goes to his right side there for the completion he make the stop the last time we can talk about this happening a throw to a fullback to pick up the first down the defense completely forgot about solid game that's all you can ask for good job up front and a nice run play action fake looking to throw he's moving out of the pocket looks like he's going to run it and he heads out of bounds after now the pressure just couldn't quite get to him there they forced him out to his right on that boot leg but give him credit he held his Poise looked at the entire field couldn't find anybody open and he just pulled it down and picked up a nice game M come up to the line to crank the tempo up here they'll switch it up looking to throw oh he's got it down inside the 20 that's incomplete a chance for a big man takeway there but he couldn't quite hold on the field goal is good they get something going here and cut into this lead before halftime first play of the drive they're going to throw the football that's the running back who makes the catch gain after the completion completion makes it second down quarterb sets up looking for an open man CCH made on the out enough yardage to pick up the first down big guys up front lined up it's first down out of the shotgun he hands it off they bring him down but that's a good play mes the ball to the 39 Syracuse getting set now with a first and 10 quarterback drops back fing the secondary CAU quickly and offense getting set up here's second down and the quarterback dropping back receiver looks it in it's complete they wrap him up after the completion just short of the first down marker approach halftime crucial third down play right here look at to pick up the first down through the air oh a sack the SE they get aggressive go from before half time so the first play of the drive here coming up less than two minutes left on the clock trying to extend the play they tackle him but not before he makes the 45 a solid game and the MERS looking to run some Tempo herein here comes a first down pass attempt almost makes a terrible second down after that previous play after the incompletion on first down looking to throw it again looks to the left pass caught and they've got him but there's also a flag on the [Applause] play Long Afternoon good job here by dialing up the pressure now from the 40 the offense faces a third and long to keep this drive going bringing pressure he's going to take off here gets in the space at the 50 tackle made at the 41 so much time putting your plan together to stop the pass and then see what the call is on First and 10 from the shotgun he's probing the secondary and the pass is intercepted and takeway for the defense he'll wrap up the first half here let's kick it now to Kevin Conor with our halftime update Chris talk about an exciting first half but then again what else might you expect here in the the AAC championship game and we have to start this halftime breakdown by addressing the play of this Elite wide receiver this is clearly a young man who once he's finished playing on Saturdays he's going to be playing on Sundays the kid has different gears he has a knack for finding gaps in the defense and I can't remember a college player with that kind of catch radius and with that let's send it back to Chris and Kirk and the conclusion of the AAC Championship all right Kevin well anytime an offensive coordinator calls a wide receiver screen he's trying to get offensive lineman out in front of the receiver to create a wall so that receiver can pick a lane to run to first down here for this [Applause] offense here's the snap quarterback drops back pressure is coming a sack in the play could throw the football and the quarterback's on his back the offensive Line's got to do a good job of not just with the Run blocking but taking care of their quarterback and giving them a chance to throw the ball breaks loose at the 45 thought he might learn from that instead he throws the ball right back into coverage I thought he threw another pck he better change the way he's playing the game or he's going to cost his team a [Applause] game he's got an open Man Down field and it's caught finally stopped at the fear this CL inside the three yd line got to come away here with a touchdown there's the snap looking to throw the ball and he runs it into the end zone touchdown Mountaineers that's a quarterback who is willing his team to find a way to win fors and goal everything covered and instead of trying to squeeze it in he trust his legs to get it into the end zone and it pays off [Applause] he felt heavy pressure what's the play call here on second down for this offense hand off from the shotgun see that's how you limit what an offense wants to do this time the defense just won the battle up front at the line of scrimmage not giving up any big plays everybody's Gap sound it's really solid defense on that play Drops back needing a third down completion here makes a quick catch and he'll pick up the first down stopped at the 27 no huddle now for the offense this is a big conversion by this offense they're down now in this second half probably limited opportunities at this point in the game every chance you get your hands on the ball you need points they keep this drive alive right here Syracuse getting set now with a first and 10 one thing we know for sure I don't know if as a play caller you can make that call without a quarterback who can throw it with a big arm he put that on a rope that's a nice wrap up there by the junior no huddle here for the offense qub back looking to pass here on second down and the senior making a disruptive imp West Virginia offense is back out on the field this group has been rolling up double digits at half time they've just built here in the second half it's a one yd gain there MERS will have to kick it away forced to kick it away for the sixth time be brought down but a penalty mark on the field let's see what this is about personal fouling the kicker def defend a running game it's exactly what we saw right there seventh play of the drive coming up but it is third down and long looking to scramble On The Run he'll let it go and he's got his man open down field he takes it into the end zone but hold on there's a flag down up 10 yards seventh play of the drive coming up but it is third down and long there's the snap they'll set up to throw and a sophomore makeing defense I think that's the right call you get more speed to be able to cover with those five defensive backs and also allows that defensive line with that good coverage to get after the quarterback as we see here the returner is brought down there is a flag on the field so we'll check out this call pretty easy call for the head coach he will accept that penalty of course offense gets a second chance after the roughing the punter [Applause] penalty looking to throw it on first down and it's incomplete even at a first down throw he was under some heavy pressure kind of a fine line here Chris for me when it comes to throwing a screen pass you don't want to throw it too early obviously and the defense reacts quickly and can sniff it out and you definitely don't want to throw it too late and potentially get sacked you got to make sure it hits just powerful running into the secondary tackle made after and then just get it to the open man sometimes it sounds simple but it's tough to execute this time we have good recognition by the quarterback then he gets it down to the tight endend you can see what he can do after the [Applause] catch and the Mountaineers are moving quickly down the field they'll try the ground game here with the running back defense able to bring him down to wrap up the third quarter of play so it's West Virginia in front so after three qu of play it's a pretty solid lead let's take a look at our game stats how we got here offense getting set for a second down here to begin the quarter there's the snap he's looking to throw receiver makes the grab some positive yards and I really like the route to get enough separation to give the quarterback enough room to put it in there quarterback leaves the pocket on the Move now quick throw to his receiver doesn't hold on fourth down and the coach ales to the field goal unit he was successful with his last kick this one though from 46 yd away and the field goal is good and that churning gets a fresh set of downs the drive stays alive with that first down completion here's the snap offense looking to throw the ball he cannot Escape defense with a sack man how about the job by this defense I mean we really expected this offense could be able to come into this game a yards and a lot of points and here we are in the fourth quarter collectively they don't even have 200 yards total offense and they just seem to be out of syn give all the credit to the defensive coordinator this offense after a first down loss it's second and long the 23 quarterback drops back you're going to test the secondary try a down shot well they don't connect here but this is what you have to do it's late in the game you need points you're behind you got to take some shots I'd go right back to it try to find a matchup and go to one of your receivers the offense stays on the field down multiple possessions Easy Choice defense not pressing this time and he's throwing for it on fourth down and he's going to float this one to the right side pass it and the MERS offense is back out on the field this has been a dominant performance so far of double digits at the break building on the lead here in the second half they bring him down but that's a yeah I'd say this run is pretty emblematic of what we've seen all day long no matter what they've done on offense the guys up front have been it's a fumble winner falls on the football to prevent the turnover with a first and goal now M looking to punch it in here it's first and goal they'll try to run it in on first and goal touchdown Mountaineers and the beat down continues Chris you talk about having a day this offense just goes out they don't they're not even looking at the scoreboard they're just going out executing the play called and continuing to put points on the board so they'll try to add to the lead now with the p man es the tricky footing and knocks through the P set up with the first and goal from the eight the offense threatening close to the goal line with a new set of downs quarterback looking to connect with the receiver here oh they've got him for a sack a big play made by the junior CHR I'm really surprised by the way this game has turned out that's another sack by coming up second down and goal drops back from the shotgun looking for man the pocket breaking down couldn't find anybody over played so well I think the defensive coordinator put together a great plan his kids clearly understood their scheme because they have been aggressive and attacking all game and he'll Loft it to the end zone and it's picked off in the end zone boy would this quarterback love to have this one back they're trying to work themselves back into this game so the job is simple here just take a knee run out the clock and begin the [Applause] celebration what an amazing run these guys have had and now they get to call themselves champions of the AAC that's a major goal realized but now we have to see if the committee is going to reward this Championship with an invite to the college football playoff and that is going to wrap it up we enjoyed this one here for KK herb street I'm Chris fer and this has been another presentation of EA Sports college football oh
