Tennessee vs. NC State Game Highlights | 2024 ACC Football

the Kirk that volunteer defensive line so deep they may rotate as many as 12 guys tonight and they feel good about all of them and that defensive line is right in there making its presence felt as Waters the transfer from duke is swarmed under first by Pierce two tight end flex and they'll keep it on the ground and there is nothing doing as the first guy to hit him was the guy wearing the green dot was Keen andely among the 20 slowest in the country we'll see who can impose their will in that regard tonight McCall running out of time and Mcall goes down that pressure coming Omar Norman lot their best interior pass rusher gets to him yeah got more speed on the field disguise and attack y malava needs seven feeling some heat he's athletic enough to get out and run he turns the corner he's got a first down and Nico moves the change chased out of bounds by Jihad a pick up of 12 spping quickly Samson finds a hole on the right side and now Tennessee can get moving because they've got another first down another 12yd gain balls have moved it inside the Wolfpack [Applause] 25 Samson looking for room and none to be found in the back field a host of Wolfpack Defenders LED Again by CE who is first now it's off they're able to give Nico some counsel and they back out of the blitz only three rushing Shuffle passs underneath what a call from hyle Samson has it Dylan Samson slip The Tackle and Bs his way down to the 11 yd line a pick up of 17 so he's used to seeing Tony Gibson this time hyp gets the better of it and Samson goes into the checkerboard from nine yards out touchdown Tennessee this is well timed up by the the back look at the patience to allow the front side to collapse and then the guard and the H come around and it's just a hat on a hat they got to be able to hit some explosives or they going to play with a short field pressure coming McCall gets away almost but tripped up by a Sho string and making the stop in there is jacobe Thomas or the screen shovel pass to get the lineman up against that three-man defensive line look Nico with all signs of time now they're coming after him he has to get rid of it and he does so beautifully and it's miles kelman making the catch and it's a first down for Tennessee great job by kelman to slide out back to the ground Samson spinning into NC State territory and he's down to the 43 yd line another first down boy Mae is fun to watch in the middle what a leader and an anchor to this o line Nico Firs at AR head is picked off his first Collegiate interception Bishop Fitzgerald is taking it the other way and the Wolfpack defense makes a play playing with a lot of three defensive backs back to try to make him throw things underneath here again he's got all kinds of time to throw the football but look at this he he kind of expected Brut McCoy to continue continue to work over the middle but he throws it high and way in front an errant throw from 24 and he is true and Wolfpack takes the turnover and puts points on the board Bishop still in there the malava getting a little heat gets it he's got him in he's wide open and he's got squirrel white for a big gain and Tennessee is right back how you respond to an interception 45 yd pickup Bishop to the ground Bishop inside the 20 yd line and it's another Tennessee first down kick on the way and it is perfect tricky formation give him a look here comes concepion in motion McCall looking for it here's KC he's got it concepion into Tennessee [Applause] territory the Hollywood Smothers Hollywood roll rolls inside the 35 down to the 33 maybe the 32 before boo stopped him smothers and conceps own were high school teammates for a while along with James Pierce of Tennessee lot of familiarity on both sides there Smothers again another big pickup explosive play on the ground for the wolf pack oh it's a pick Mcall was inaccurate and it's picked off by Will Brooks the the walk on is running the walk on is running in 5 4 3 2 1 give him [Applause] six good job of jumping it I think that forced the ball to go up and over Joseph does a nice job right there timing that and mcco makes a mistake just kind of I don't know if he just kind of jumped past that or whatever that was but the ball just floats over top of jool Lee right into the arms of will Brooks here's Gilbert from 45 to try to stretch the Tennessee lead to 17 kick is on the way and that is a career long and the volunteers head to the locker room on a high note you don't want to get Carri carried away with 14 minutes left in the third quarter but this feels like an important third down y malava flips it out complete Tennessee has the first down and it's squirrel white NC stayed at one drive with a few explosive plays that's been the biggest difference Tennessee's been able to rip off chunks of yardage just like that and Samson was holding on for dear life to that football as the pack tried to strip it away if they get that quarterback run game going Ma ala pulls it and it is an easy touch down pass to Miles Kenan the Alabama transfer scores for the Tennessee Volunteers you just get led to sleep with your eyes into the back field tight ends right here he's been blocking doing his job here they just show a little bit of a hesitation blocks the in man just for a be on needing 25 on first down and MCO has the ball knocked free and Tennessee is signaling that they've got it and the volunteers have made another big play it appears and they have Gilbert puts it on the way and he is solid as a rock if Bruce scores when you go into the Cookie Shop in Knoxville on Monday you get two free on and they're fantastic they are Delight they're nice enough to drop those off variety Nico is going to waltz into the end zone touchdown Tennessee 31 yds [Applause] North Carolina State they decide to man up bringing pressure right here got all this pressure problem is there's nobody in the middle of the field so you get one block from the Right Guard here and watch how this freeze it up and he's got the speed to make you pay for this 66 and can go but without that safety in the middle of the field to be an a raser you get the one block by the Right Guard who's pulling around there spragin and the linebackers are blitzing there's no safety everybody's a man coverage you better be careful playing man coverage against this offense some aggressive pylon cam showing eight going into the end zone for that touchdown and if you're a balls fan you are very very excited to see where this team can go longest run of his career here oh how he's got the big Orange Nation excited and boy things are just coming apart for North Carolina State as they fumble and Tennessee has it and making the play as Jeremiah Tander Imam malava hit as he throws and now that's going to be a pick and we might have a pick six from Aiden white White's on his way does he have enough gas is he going to be caught from behind he is not doin van knocked the ball up into the air and got in NE Lea's face and it turned it into a touchdown for the pack I don't think expected this kind of penetration to get in there he's looking out there he's got a one-on-one matchup but look how powerful and how quick that's the first time really we've seen van take over and get that kind of pass rush and the beneficiary is white Campbell saying hey that that one's on us up [Applause] front well white the last two years it's not allowed a touchdown any ra is third and 12 shovel pass and this time Samson breaks the tackle he's got the first down he's in NC State territory and he Powers down to about the 41 yd line his penion for wearing pajama pants out there and still spending the football all over the place we asked him about about that this week keep those at home now yeah but what he's going to do is get Tennessee home by giving it to Dylan Samson and give number six six 34 yds to the house well they love love love the counterplay they've run it so many different ways where they pulled the backside guard they pull the H the patience of Samson wait wait wait let the blocks and he beats the last man great backs are going to beat that extra Man Down In The Box that's going to be it'll be cool though I think it's going to be a really emotional trip for Josh too to go back there and it's going to be another touchdown for Tennessee Holden stays the Notre Dame transfer catches the toss from I alava and Tennessee has hung half a hundred on the board locked in locked in here oh okay fin strong here I got three games over here on far right we're watching everything suffered that terrible injury went to Florida state had a moment against Notre Dame and CJ Bailey puts it on the deck as a youngster getting some experience here at the end of the blowout NC State will have to punt it away and you start to wonder now if Niko's Knight come to an end I know he's young needs reps and so forth but I know yeah might be time to pull the plug on that there's squirrel white squirrel white looking for room let's see if he's got enough to get to the corner scorel across the 45 you're the 50 45 and not quite enough real estate to turn the corner and take that one all the way back coming up on Sunday and the clock winds down and will strike zero is a disappointing night for Dave Doran and a really impressive one for Tennessee and Josh hyp Doran waits for a minute and there he finds Josh and to share a word
