San Jose State VS Air Force 2ND QTR | NCAAF Football Week 2 Game Highlights SEP 7, 2024

it's just a complete unforced error by San Jose State and those are the things that we saw a week ago is why they were in such a hole for seven penalties overcame those in the win against Sacramento States San Jose States first drive of the second quarter spread it out in the spread and Shred off pressure Brown floats in stride to the tight end but it's incomplete the foot in bounds and more pressure from Air Force to go over top and another hit taken by EMT Brown you said spread bases to it it's got those principles still in that offense the biggest difference it incorporates the tight end more you'll have 11 those run and shoot principles Kanan is a tight end who's lined up in the slot to the near side at a 50 clock nearly expired second time had the burn a timeout with a late play clock consistent pressure getting after EMT brown one but that was the piece to me above everything else that stood out just how impressed I was with his toughness and the step getting hit in the face by a linebacker and the touchdown over the top those are things that your teammates you rally around a guy like that when you matalo mentioned in the preseason fall Camp he was in a quarterback battle brown with a getting Ward most of them with flying colors second down and 10 Brown keeps brings up a [Music] five got a whistle go but it's certainly an element for EMT Brown that he has the ability anytime he feels like he gets a pull read he's able to get for San Jose stay two for three so far and right at the edge of it get the backup Walter E get in for that third down let see if we get for Walker get only had two passes in three years coming into this season Tren K Force and again a punt in this game that goes off the side of the punter's foot and we'll see again where the of five yd line so five yards sh of midfield for Navy's in town have to get back on schedule back toback three and outs not able to get ahead of the sticks on first down need to establish that fullback Run game punts Allen hammers to near Midfield marked at the 48 pick up of three to us a week ago in an area where this offense struggled a week ago Owen Allen was really a bright spot you see just the three yard Owen Allen that was a guy that jumped out was not even on the two deep a week ago ended up being 16 carry and that's something Chris that stood out to us just the depth and the volume that Air Force has rolled out not just on the offense but on the defensive side s cohall assisted back his backup is Jay zovich who who enters but Taylor tier bre Dylan Carson Terrence G expected to be three of their top rushers this season all out for the it's a pitch to the near side Kaden cloud is brought down right at Midfield there is latu setting that edge number four for San Jose State trying to get the perimeter Air Force on the offense number 68 15yd penalty from the previous spot second down and it ever commits penalties at this rate and there's been a lot of them early in this game Tyler Lawrence called with the face mask there backing this third down or second down in a marathon this offense just not designed really no offense is designed to be this far behind the putting John bé his second start with Air Force in a difficult spot and he's brought down immediately by T yela latu looked like Jordan Pard in there as well his hair on fire it's a guy that loves football I had in my notes just his instincts and watch here 10 right in the middle of the screen comes down he'll tackle from Jordan Pard it was Pard all over that one third down and 22 Cloud the motion man and it's Bradley who gets the carry nuzzles forward for a few but it tackles against Air Force last year in the loss gets the tackle there to bring up fourth they sound like a broken record but this yourself just behind the sticks and and too many challenges and and now third straight drive with a three and out low to grab it Coleman lets it bounce down outside the 20 it's slowed down San Jose State still leads over for Notre Dame after their big week one win against A&M and Texas an even bigger blowout than it was they took the fight to Michigan eyes in the Mountain West on that boisey state Oregon game later attack at the quarterback spot for San Jose State throws the screen to Nash who was active on the first first two drives get the ball back 39 yd line 17 yd pickup he runs right into c nanii Watch Big another 10 yards by me carrying you if you can't block somebody as a guard that's a good job grab your guy this should form of transportation first down and off aen Schwarz for Air Force on The Tackle San Jose State it felt like early it's been either penalties or the interception obviously but if moved the ball well it's similar to what we saw a week ago against Sacramento State in that 100 yard passing a monsterous second half against Sacramento States four in this pattern for the SP to the 44 good job by this offensive line and running back group picking up protection off the right side see the pressure down in the zone pick up the big first down ends the streak of three and outs there five consecutive three and outs before this San Jose State drive again late play clock get it off Brown Zips Nash snags but foot wasti Mariner in coverage get that man defense trying to take advantage of it almost another big play for Nick Nash that slot fade they've hit him a couple times on it already and almost one toe right that's all it takes a fumble but now called incomplete saying the arm was forward as brown was pressured immediately up create a deflection good job in the interior there imit round put your hands up nice job in the deflection there clearly got the throwball third down and brown goes down link and Force Air Force has not shied away from bringing pressure early in this game this was something San Jose State struggle ground hit most of that game in Air Force recognizing that getting after the quarterback and a good job by tuot Mariner in week one with some wild snaps that time it was Mesa in at start line catch by first so I think that's the best player on offense for Ace and we've talked about how they've got to number one stay on schedule and number two create the explosives some of the success that they've had in the red zone that we've talked about but the biggest thing cleaning up the penalties and staying on schedule States B pitches Harris this time with space to the outside has the first down and the Robert rimi with the tackle and that looks more like what we expect out of Air Force a good job by quarterback John buet getting Kate Harris in space of 13 yds bu fires out of the reach of Harris's pass intended defended by rther looked gasp there up the sideline and he's in this Playbook those explosives that they've held second down option pitch turning the corner up to the thir 7 yd line Rocco kti was the one who got that pitch another guy in this offense Carson Terence G you've got guys down this depth shart have never had carries before getting action here tonight for Air Force Air on the comeback Engle can't hang on would have been enough for the first down Brandon Engel was out a week ago dealing with a hamstring like needed to come up with this catch it's a little behind l on a third down play one of your top players coming back in Brandon Engel he's got to make that play for you on third down thir in week one Engel one of the rare players on offense with experience in back pedals fair catch with a catch air for's offense has been of line for San Jose State almost across the board he talks about getting Maris Tavo back but there's still been a lot of throws but especially in that second quart Air Force beginning to wear them down you do not want your quarterback a GU shots you said you were impressed with his toughness in week one you don't want to have to Showcase your toughness like that every week pattern Nash dances out of bounds Zack Jule escorted him to the side he said we've got eight guys that we feel like can play we'd like to solidify a starting five but especially at Center and right tackle it's it's return this week on second and three Brown sets his feet gets rid of it over the head that was Amari Bellamy in coverage I tell you what it does not take much to get your secondary first quarter second quarter it's been a theme throughout this game they are going to try and throw the ball over the top of see that communication Brown and chalk looking to the receiver down pressured again flings it behind the tight end incomplete Jackson Kanan who had coverage they bring Jackson Kanan across from left to right on a shallow cross and a good job by EMT Brown giving ground with it another drop for San Jose State so after a hot start kizza punter San Jose States fair catch Engle Armed Forces football proudly supported by USAA Air Force football 539 left once again it's been a struggle look was up to the task and for Air Force before half here this is a an offense that can bleed off 5 minutes and 39 D do not give the ball back to San Jose State if you can and Come Away with points on this drive full B said the number one thing when you're facing Air Force have to stop the fullback there's no doubt and if you were watching seeies are known for that they're able to chip away at you but when you have this much Youth and inexperience it's really difficult to piece together those 10 another tight formation second down and five at the 31 gains close to three a preseason all Mountain West defensive that defensive line for San Jose State that may be the most important unit on this entire team tonight they've answered the challenge so [Applause] far Allen B Air Force looking for their first third down conversion cannot get it TOA there and watch the push Force offensive linemen on the ground nobody getting pushed backwards and all those white hats rallying to the football it's good team def offense stays on fourth down and one in their own territory they snap it fourth down stop for San Jose States the fourth hill good open field tackle we've called his name a couple times tonight and the guy described by this staff as playing with his hair on fire so the preseason all Mountain West defend in that sequence of plays San Jose State takes over at the 30 reverse Grant Yule first one there for a loss of nine with a little a week ago this was this play was dead to rights the entire time if you're Jacob Stewart You're hoping that he'd just throw this there's your defense bailing out the offense after that fourth down turnover couple of former quarterbacks now in different positions handling on that play ground rifles two wide in front of Justin lockart thought this may be a track meat up and down back and forth and now both of these offenses feels like they've just skitted to a halt and credit tackling well not been much offensive production in this second quarter Air Force's defense has a chance T this is third and 19 Brown plenty of time now flush Sidelines would have been at the sticks Matthew Coleman it goes through his hands covered well on the back end sticks coverage underneath I thought there was an opportunity here to hit Matthew Coleman on this comeback route and a miss there their offense who goes for it deep in their own territory and forces another three and out and Troy Calhoun rolled the dice best logic second punter for San Jose State that one finds the end zone Jose State his first punt opportunity to pin thiss that have gone deep and then a handful that have really been shanked given some good field position on both sides they put something together here before half coming up on the ram halftime report gret Stover Kevin Carter cardal coming up on the ram half time report kti first down handoff looking like yards with 230 in ticking left in the first half remember we'll get two-minute time San Jose State with just the one timeout as well for Air Force at a minimum you're trying to avoid giving San Jose State concerned of making sure that San Jose St St doesn't have another possession he'll let this go all the way down to the two if Offensive start the Deep ball for the remainder of this half option flip goes near side Allen make that Harris slides through a tackle and has the first state you almost guarantee now that San Jose State's not going to get a possession and again one of the big chunk plays in and a timely pitch from John bu it clearly has been Air Force's best weapon so far Smith tiptoes along the sidelines and is bumped out at the 41 and that's something from John bu that I thought he did really well but throws the ball well confident he's on time in this two-minute Drive which is something they had a week ago against marmer quarterback when you haven't thrown the ball much in a half like an Air Force quarterback typically does imagine it's much more option again outside leverage San Jose State prevents that one from turning the corner this k for this offense and for John bu I like just getting that simple hitch to the boundary that's an easy raise up they've already shown they'll go for it I would expect this is four down territory one out of bounds stopped the clock for a third down and one make that Bradley the fullback who crashes ahead has the first down first third down conversion for Air Force they more bu a throw rolls out it stops with a minute 31 left Harris fell down initially that's what created him being open in the flat BR Harris the Air Force duo in the second frame for either team Bradley clock continues to move a minute 22 in ticking now's the play on third down to go Chris trying to make sure you do not give this back to San Jose State wouldn't be surprised if they let this get all the way down under 5 Seconds shotgun bu to throw has time flush left runs couple yards shy of the first down Jordan Pard again delivering a boom he my goodness and Air Force's offense staying on and at least right now content to let this go down game clock at play clock about 10 seconds off from drive if they do snap it instead time out defense gets the third down stop trying to work the boundary and the curl route is open right now if you can get this to Quinn's fly across the field Jordan Pard think he may be the star for this defense in this first half maybe the star overall nine tackles including one for a loss team High and two imagine it would be the punt unit on for Air Force just pin this back and but you see BU hovering around coach Calhoun and the offense is going what do you think of this if you don't pick this up you give San Jose State the ball in Hail Mary range I think [Music] Mo most offenses when the it's under way but with 12 seconds there's too much time left on the clock so Chris to your question what do I think I would punt this here the field with you're going to be at four or 5 Seconds at most I I would not go for this year cuz now you open up especially when this half the end of half sequence has been all about really game offense again on Allen at fullback fourth down and two angle out wide is wrapped up and thrown down rocket Robert rahee with 7 seconds left and do not understand running a play there and not just bringing your punt team out this was almost a disaster for San Jose State well out of range to kick a field goal do they have enough time to tr this Hail Mary attempt Target line the 30 yd line for Kyler halers zri puts an end to the first half his 11th career sack in three he beats two Defenders they bring the running back up to block as well shakes off both Defenders for the sack separate quarters first offense second defense 14-7 San Jose
