Emma what do you have for us Dave Mike I had a chance to discuss the first half with the coach for the home team he was very pleased with his team performance he credited the lead to his offensive Line's ability to protect the pocket and create opportunities in the Run game he stated that when you can the kind of production out of your o line you can expect to be up by several scores back to you thanks zma quarterback to pass pulled in by number 22 that'll be enough for the first down not elusive enough to make that into a big play but still keeps that defense on the field he drops back to pass there's a penalty marker on the field he safely steps out of bounds well we'll see if that holds up after the penalty the away team will decline the penalty that'll give them a fresh set of downs not elusive enough to make that into a bit play but still keeps that defense on the field makes the toss to number 22 second down [Music] [Applause] [Music] good enough for a first down let's see what they do on first down QB tucks it in and runs that brings up second down hands it to number nine that'll be enough for the first down steps into the pocket play action the wide receiver grabs

good the away team recovered some ground with that score 12 seven barn burner today Dave only one score separates the teams all it takes is one mistake to determine the outcome of this one Daniel takes the kick tackled after a return of 14 the home team has a one-possession lead going into the drive let's see what they can do with it go he hands it to the runner second down quter back to pass playaction Fake Off by number 27 third down [Applause] scrambling that'll be enough for the first down excellent footwork on that run to pick up the first down and he's [Music] off second down in

second down into the pocket passses a pass pass the first down that'll give them a fresh seven Downs drops back into the pocket and he's off stop up at the 33 yd line that brings up second down there's a flag on the field the away team accepts the penalty the quarterback was trying to get the defense to jump and ended up making one of his own players move early go the QB tucks it in and [Music] runs excellent footwork on that run to pick up the first down and he's off tackled near the line by number 19 tonight he makes the pitch a penalty marker on the plan well we'll see if that holds up after the penalty the away team will accept the penalty it's a common misconception that blockers are allowed to grab Defenders as long as their hands are on the inside that's what we saw there but it's still a holding penalty the third quarter comes to an end the home team out in front for now 12 7 he drops back he makes the throw deep down the middle of the field incomplete P third

five takes the kick makes the return up to the 14 it needs to be go time for the offense they need to stop messing around tighten up your chin strap and get ready to drive the ball down the field the pass is intercepted number 24 sometimes you just have to know when a pass isn't there and throw it away defenses are not forgiving points off a turnovers is an important statistic in football if the defense can prevent them from executing here all all of the momentum built up from that turnover will be lost penalty marker on the field he can't bring it in well we'll see if that holds up after the penalty the away team takes the penalty most holding penalties are the result of poor positioning by the blocker where they use their hands to compensate for being out of position from under Center go he drops back to pass number 15 takes the hand off and looks to pass that brings up third down he turns it up field tackled near the line back near the 14 that'll bring up Fourth Down K Ramos on the kick and he split the uprights for three points that's good from 30 yds out the home team adds to their score 227 in many ways this one was not the game we expected Dave but certainly this type of lead has made a statement the awaya team has dug themselves into quite a hole here they've got a chance to regain some of that on this Drive hike hey on the [Applause] [Music] carry second down second play of the drive for the away [Applause] team he makes the throw short tackle made up near the 32 t [Music] tackled quickly and that's enough for a first down first and 10 [Music] go that gets us to Second down hands it to number 22 third down third and short go M takes the hand off brought down almost immediately by number 30 first down it's almost like he can walk these first downs I'm looking

second down second down number four with the [Music] hand third down number four steps back into the pocket [Applause] [Music] scrambling that brings up second down the quarterback decides to run that

timeout here second down number four looking to [Applause] pass third and goal there's a penalty marker on the field the home team will accept the penalty there really is no excuse for false starts because you know the snap count number four dropping back watches a pass the receiver can't bring it in sometimes you have to have that Gunslinger mentality and take a shot to keep the defense on their toes it didn't work out that time but it will still let the D know that this QB isn't afraid to test them [Applause] deep the away team takes the penalty discipline goes a long way when it comes to avoiding costly penalties T tosses the ball and it's caught for a touchdown that's what Maks this guy dangerous he's just a playmaker you can't coach that kind of speed or [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Instinct the away team comes up short in the two-point conversion the away team closes the Gap a bit 22 13 what they need now is a big stop on defense to keep the momentum shifting Daniel catches the kickoff takes the return up to the 17 the away team needs to get their act together on defense they'll need a big turnover or a quick stop to try and Shi the momentum back in their favor he turns it up field tackled near the line by number 19 the away team uses their second timeout second down he throws one grabbed out of the air he safely steps out of bounds up near the 22 yd line there's a penalty marker on the field we'll see if the penalty affects the outcome the home team takes the penalty if the coach hasn't created a culture where penalties are not acceptable then players won't take that extra effort to avoid making them the away team uses their last timeout second down gramling that will move the chains this line today regardless of who was in the back field they're making it a point to create those running [Applause] Lanes second down from under Center hike third down seven play of the drive for the home team a lot of Great Performances today Mike who do you have as the stud of the game Williams for the home team made the whole team better today and earned my stud award a well executed day for him [Applause]
