Akron Zips Vs Ohio State FULL GAME [Today] 1st-Qtr| NCAA Men's College Football

carried transferred from Michigan State the wide receivers now they face a third down at two a year ago they were 111th in the country in third down conversions they're obviously hoping to improve that starting today third down at two tight end goes under Center momentarily and now T just throws one out to the tight end n and Jake n's got a first down Joe Morehead crafted a really nice play right there and it is Finley's going to go in they have to be checked out I no doubt about it now remember now akan is down to one quarterback that they really trained for this game how much do you run bulock he's their best running quarterback but if he's the only one you wonder if you want to let those Buckeye players tee off on your only quarterback so on the first series Ben is headed to the locker room Taj Bullock running the Shell with a 12 yd completion to his tight end on the first down and now he'll run it here yeah there we go with that theory well picked up three as we take a look at the Buckey defensively made sense as I started it though yeah that's true what a combo book in defensive ends to maloa and Sawyer Sunny Styles is playing the middle linebacker that would have been Cody Simon who's not playing today so he's wearing coach to player communication but they practice that in case of a situation where one guy couldn't start and the other guy play play high snap again and now bulock on the Run he's got a first down he's got more he buries his head yeah I thought Sawyer was going to get a hand on him and pull him down but that's the athleticism of Taj Bullock right there watch coming cleanly beats the tackle on the play but good athletic quarterback gets him the secondary Denzel Burke was the guy that was on the end of that 12yd pickup remember is even though TD Bullock is inexperienced he gets the coach in his helmet all the way down to 15 seconds on the play clock so Joe Morehead with a lot of experience is able to help him out first down high snap this one too high Bullock's got to chase it down and cover it well that's the third High snap in a row it was now you don't blame him I'm not at all blaming him for falling on it cuz it looks easy up here but it was a pass play he could have thrown it away and save the yardage on that play goes sh just shoots by him and I thought you could have easily thrown it cuz it was a pass play you know and so now they had things move four a loss of 14 remember Akon's playing with a new center in this game Tyler Williams is out they've had to switch around they moved their guard over to Center this time he got it there clean but here comes the Russian there it goes to him M with his first sack of the season after seven a year ago and that's what Jim noes challenged both Sawyer and two can you win oneon-one I mean I can't scheme you all the time but can you get in there this time faced D Shore and pretty easy allamerican and here he comes from the backside and sent the Zips back to third down at 28 they're going the wrong direction after a couple first downs that snaps high again Bullock screen pass out in the flat breaking tackle Bobby golden got some of that back and he got it to the 31 yd line and now it's decision time whether they try a field goal they thought that maybe a 42 yd field goal would be the length the best length for their guy 42 and in so they're outside of that right now Caleb Downs the transfer from Alabama the all SEC leading tackler in the SEC leading tackler for Bama missed that tackle might have got him in the zone to kick a field goal those extra four or five yards now Harrison Smith's going to try one from 48 so the coach said 42 and in were comfortable outside of that maybe not so much let's see if Garrison has something to say about it from 48 yds away yes he does have something to say about it the Zips take the lead on their opening possession even though they lost their starting quarterback the number two let him down and they lost some yardage but that's a happy Coach right there a good way to start against the number two team in the country on the road they've made the mistakes and uh right now akan is going man we were worried but we can compete with these guys right so far and of course a big story aing losing their starting quarterback on this play ianos coming in and it was not targeting but it was a personal foul and that led to the backup quarterback DOD Bullock coming in and leading them down on a 47 yd drive 10 plays a little over 5 minutes and they got a career-long field goal from Garrison Smith and the Buckey will get it for the second time jayen Ballard Waits on Dante Jackson's kick this one off the side of his foot this might make the sideline nope he caught it on the Fly and it'll bring it out to 25 Ohio State let's take a look at their offense we hav out a chance we've had a lot of things going on here offensively the two joshes on the edges frier and Simmons and Seth McLaughlin the transfer center from Alabama quarterback wide receivers I should say and running backs Uka the leader of the group Jeremiah Smith the freshman's already made a drop and a penalty and they open up in a two- tight EP of casmar and Scott so here's their second offensive possession and now quinan Judkins the transfer from Old Miss in the backfield with Will Howard first down at the 25 quinan on the play fake and the throw is incomplete dropped again could have been caught that was Carell Tate the defense for the Zips we talked about Gary talk about their front four defensively got an all ma player and CJ Nunley Brian McCoy and the second level at linebacker their two-time captain and leading tackler Darren Lewis the leader the veteran of their secondary second down and 10 Howard looks across the middle and it's broken up again incomplete intended for Judkins and the defensive staff of akan led by their defensive coordinator that's Tim tisar right there came from Oregon State so he's familiar with the Chip Kelly offense at UCLA also was the off defensive coordinator at Purdue back when Urban Meyer was running Ohio State deal he's liking what his team has done here in the first yeah they're pretty and a half minutes tell that front six they they're pretty tough third down to 10 for the Buckey Howard has time fires a strike and that one is caught by Jeremiah Smith his first reception and that draws Applause from the crowd knowing that he is the number one recruit a year ago you know after for pro you go to the button hook here yeah that's right in Ohio State been running the but cook here since 1940 even Woody R there yeah jip Chip Kelly with his new fangled offense and everybody that's ever watched a game here that's with age has gone I've seen that play before we told you that last time these two teams met Ohio State won 159 to7 but akan actually had the lead seven to nothing so they have the lead here too three nothing first first down for the Bucky dunkins and only got about a yard nice job getting over there defensively as Bruno D made the stop yeah you do a good job here you crease sideways you create a little bit of nowhere to cut back see nowhere to cut back Seth mcla does a good job on him but he pushes him far enough that he has nowhere to go good job by the nose tackle second down and 10 from the 37 Howard rolls to throw and a strike nice throw complete Uka his first catch I'll tell you will Howard has been on target for all of his passes so far pick up a 19 this time you know the question was we know will Howard can run he can run the quarterback keep can he feed the ball to these wide receivers yes he can and a Mecca got open good enough that he put it right on him he's put them all on him so far hasn't he I like the way they're throwing it too they're not just not sitting them in the pocket they're making this akan team defend the edges with the quarterback as well their first play in akan territory and dunkins got about a hard yard and a half yeah I think it was 54 Murphy again that made the good play inside heon Murphy winning those one-on ones one of the things that Joe Mo had talked to his players about is listen if you're interested in play in the NFL putting some tape on against Ohio State wouldn't be a bad tape to show can do so far past the Midway point of the first quarter and the Zips in front second down and nine for the Buckeyes number 43 and now is a keeper by Howard to the lead block of Judkins and he falls near a first [Applause] down this is more of a Kansas State type of play it is so it kind of also think back to when Ohio state had that running game going a little bit with JT Barrett okay I don't think he in the Justin field speed or the Braxton Miller speed I know he's got that long speed those guys were quicker but I think back to that JT Barrett offense when that quarterback kept the defense just off balance enough to make that running game tough to stop and we've got a timeout as Brian McCoy a little bit shaken up we'll take a break check on Brian when we come back 541 to go first quarter akan on top Ryan day and Chip Kelly they go back a long ways I mean a long ways they've worked together for years chip was Ryan day's offensive coordinator of the University of New Hampshire as we take a look at do project smarter presented by the Home Depot and you built since 2008 eight third down and one as a quarterback keeper that was going to be close that was the uh Phil pH Adelphia Eagles quarterback sneak right there wasn't it yeah let's take a look right down the line at least whether or not he's going to come back in the lineup we'll have to wait and see the next time they get a ball I would think that that's good news if you have a chance yeah otherwise you'd probably be in a locker room and you wouldn't have your helmet I don't think either that's true first down Howard fires complete nice pitch and catch to Carell Tate as we get out of Jenny what we saw in that opening Series if starting quarterback Ben Finley went down it looked like he sustained an upper left shoulder injury he headed into the locker room after spending 2 minutes in the injury tent back out on the bench right now I'm told he is good to go guys and just so you know he grabbed his helmet before he even went into the locker room took it with him smart guy yeah very smart guy second down at four and quinon Judkins oh nice P solid defense solid def that was CJ nley again it was he's a Difference Maker CJ nle number 19 for akan playing that edge tough the block rangy and right here watch him bury himself in there beat the block gets in holds him off that holds off Josh fire just enough you peek around and when the ball carries there throw him away and make the tackle really nice play third down and four Buckey's just inside the Zips 29 yd line empty backfield Howard side steps the first man now throws on the run and throws a strike again this time Jeremiah Smith has a first down at the 20 so Buckeye fans are worried about that pass protection this time Josh frier is matched up again against n42 I wonder that wasn't a mistake by Ohio State's protection Buckey's right at the 20 yd line going to the end zone and out of bounds amuka nice play over there by Delante golden Nelson to stay with him and kind of hip check him out of bounds yep got to get something inbounds first does his hand come down boy yeah they might look at this he I thought his right hand came down that's the fans are seeing that and that's what it looks like right there before anything maybe his old his whole forearm might have come down wonder what jean thinks of this ruling on the field on the previous play was that the runner came down out of bounds therefore the pass was incomplete that ruling is under further review might have got his whole forearm down Jean what do you think just his hand that wouldn't count it needed to be a body part more than his hand yes G just like if he were running and he used that hand to keep himself off the ground right correct so yeah that would keep him up but as we watch this great angle here and see now does that wrist roll into the bottom of his forearm and in my opinion I think it is it's really really tight Tim OD day under the cover there yard touchdown I feel like it's early in the season I'm one for one I got a streak going oh boy it is really early for you to say that you got a long way to go man after reviewing the play when the ball carrier came down the ball moved and did not maintain possession therefore the call of incomplete stands as called okay we got to look one more look at I didn't see that either I thought he had it the whole time zeroing in too much on his arm I don't want to get a letter from Rosemont 13th play of the drive at any rate of second down to 10 I mumbl with that so nobody would hear it I know I heard you quinan Judkins carrying the pack with him for about four Darion Lewis will bring him down I tell you quinan has seen nothing there's no space when he's carried the ball at all [Music] so at the 3 minute Mark if you would have told Joe Morehead you're going to have the lead but three minutes to go in the first quarter he said take it right now that could change momentarily we'll see only 24 rushing yards so far for the Buckey third down at six six-man Rush will Howard to the corner Smith got it touchdown his first and the first of the season for Ohio State [Music] [Applause] I tell you will Howard is on fire he has not had a bad throw all game this is decent coverage by Joey Hunter almost a back shoulder throw I mean that's one of those if he comes to the bench and the aan coaches Go I mean you're kind of playing against a future Pro don't be so hard on yourself yeah so number four has got his first touchdown catch as a buckeye of what will be many I'm sure Brian Hartline the receivers coach g a big hug over there and after dropping one in the first series and then a penalty on the first series yeah he made up for it he did and that was a pretty throw too by Will Howard he hasn't had a bad throw all game 16 yd touchdown toss and Jaden Fielding in for the point after and extra points up and good when we see it okay right keep it secret I know that's a great tease Fielding set to kick off Bobby golden let we just see it they need number 10 to do it okay Jordan Castleberry waiting on the kickoff and they'll let that one go out of the back of the end zone bring it out to the 25 yd line their first drive so that's where we are and Ben Finley's back on the field and so is number 12 so this is what you were going to say that to have both on the that's the little Winkle they got now there they fake it to Bullock and they throw it out in the flat to Kellum and Kellum some positive yardage really uh want to thank akan for letting me come in there on Wednesday a big work a yard to go from the 34 yd line Finley in the shotgun quick throw on the flat it's to TJ to bulock Taj bulock was a nice catch cuz that was a pretty good check there that he kind of put he did that's one of those you know that one if you don't throw that completely accurately there's no time for the receiver to first down again so akan moving the ball on Ohio State bed defense and remember the last Drive had that bad snap that really was the one that got him behind the chains too tight punch and now Bullock reverses field to throw see and you got two quarterbacks playing pretty good together here Charles Kellum on the receiving end of that one we've seen three three plays of the package right we how many plays in the package do they have four than [Laughter] three look at this little boot L off the hand back here on the snap time of possession virtually even Ohio state 17 plays this will be the 13th for akan here comes a blitz picked up and then not picked up yeah that was CJ Hicks that time they had him momentarily but CJ blasted through it and he gets to the quarterback blacko Cody Simon could not play number 30 usually zero this year he's not playing CJ Hicks and sunny styles are the two quarter linebackers and this time can't go low you can't go low like that you he'll they'll run right by you Kellum did and Di ran right over the top of it that's a I had Old Coach that's called the shoe duster that a you're not going to get away with that one loss of [Music] eight good linebacker will just push his hands down and take you away and you are done it's a long conversion here third down and 15 from their own 34 Finley plants his foot throws it out and that one's too far in front of Kellum incomplete and they will have to pun it away yeah that time kinata Jackson and Mitchell Melton number 17 of 97 the number two defensive ends were in there applying the pressure you know you got the clock all week and actually they got soyer inside at the defensive tackle spot so that's kind of their hybrid rush in long distance but but as a quarterback coming into this game you know all week had been get it out of your hand get it out of your hand if we get third and long let's not have a disaster their first incomplete pass forces a punt with 14 seconds to go Avery book and he'll kick it with the left foot and this one goes out of bounds way up at the let's wait and see uh 41 yd line not a good kick he slipped a little bit yeah maybe he should have used his right cuz that wouldn't Hur pretty was it uh 25 just folks in between Quarters off the field so that we can finish the quarter next just looking at the stats trayon Henderson only has one carry so far wouldn't be surprised they don't try to feed him the ball a little bit here as Gary said will Howard has been hot five out of his last six here is trayon Henderson and there goes trayon Henderson a first down run pick up about 15 before Darien Lewis knocked him out of bound this is just smart play calling you got a long SE season going you've got a lot of good football players that could be Stars you've got to continue to spread the ball and feed your stars 13 yd pickup for trayon Henderson ends the quarter
