Virginia vs Wake Forest 4TH QTR | NCAAF Football Week 2 Game Highlights SEP 7, 2024

that's how it all works in this new world in the 12 team era of the playoff start the fourth quarter after three yards and it's third down for Wake fors yeah I think he's still on the ground too he took a a shot there trying to care who had the ball and I think he got the worst of it so three of the best players on Virginia's defense he just went in and he literally tried to tackle Bach and Clayborn and still went out and made the leue cam Robinson's already out there he is there all nickel type hybrid and oh yeah Antonio clarry who you see there with the Thea gun well Four Guys four the best on the defense for Virginia third down east and he's got a first down Taylor Moren steady slotman moves the sticks nice route distribu stack the tight end Lodge clears it out more gets right behind there sneaks right in there right the ball's already out of bm's hands for the first down deont Clayborn Jets to the right side and yonis sanker total offense and Hank bmers the guy thought it was so interesting talking with Dave Clawson he said we weren't the highest much as Wake Forest did yeah I just think that his journey had brought has brought him to Wake Forest he couldn't hang on third down now you really think about it vmire the expect ations put on him and he's like look I'm not killing more he goes to Louisiana Tech and goes there and finds himself season here he is on third down BM rolls to his left he directs and it's in I like the location that's a nice play you know he rolls out puts the ball on the out BM just sits back and tries to look downfield keeps his eyes down field I think delivered by Hank BM Ivan Mo to get it away Chris Tyree getting a chance again on punt return and he sets up Virginia just past the 30 all Tennessee on top yam malava leading the vs and here in Winston Salem Anthony kandria leading the Cavaliers takes from the Cavaliers offensively just positive plays because they've had positive plays but then a penalty right a false star try to get greedy you can't get 13 points all on one drive here candria designed run squirts forward coming for Virginia they haven't run the ball well just over 50 yds rushing Malachai Fields has been the big for 10 on third Downs in this [Applause] game through his progression finds his tight end Tyler Neville with two touchdowns in the first half on Blue I like the Rhythm he talked about the Rhythm right when that back foot hits he wants to get the ball out of his hands he's a candria pulls it and Fir sideline with a flag down out of bounds by cam Hardy and that might be going on the center Brian Stevens hard not to uh Miss 55 in the middle holding offense number 55 10yd penalty it's going to be hard to miss this guy right here in the middle Brian Stevens fairly quickly working on Bryce gayus veteran defensive tackle and Harris slips a tackle and gets inside the 40 so gets a lot of that back with eight yards on the and the negative play we just talked about it continue to stack the positive plays Kobe Pace hasn't ran the football since the pace who really set the pace for them last week they've just went away from him yeah Xavier Brown had stepped up but it is Pace in the game and a curs to the 20 four for 15 y positive plays indeed yeah that's just get the ball out quicker kandra gets the ball in the hands let the skill position players take over candria Up Tempo End Zone and it's a onore game again in Winston Salem course it was Tempo Tempo Tempo and Trail Harris just gets lost that's a coverage breakdown by an exper Trail too real down from 50 plus back in the first half right out of the gates and now he's got two touchdowns in in the power five out of high school only had offers from a couple schools in the M now he's here toss with Kia when he was five great to have Lane here as well keep on fighting Lane after 25 we got a ball game you know that's what we wanted to see and it's been battling back but you get one score you get one stop defensively and now all of a sudden Virginia is right in this football game down a couple put this team Wake Forest on it on his back in the fourth quarter and lead him to Victory as he du with this is T Carney with a scene and he gets tripped up by yonas sanker after six yards this amazing stretch that they had been through trying to start two and0 Jason Hond the defensive tackle is each and every play it seems like a player is heading to the sideline as it cramps his last year now losing and hoping the depth behind them can bring this game home as they trail Wake for green and he hung on to it Jonathan Green makes the catch with Dre bachar got just enough just enough that couldn't get the full power that he wanted but just in this fourth quarter and to the 37 and this is the healthy and star capable Donovan Green yeah mik he's found a favorite and Donovan Green he's just putting it out there for the 62 210 lb wide receiver T Carney takes it into the pile there's not much there mean again a sixthe senior here green had a great season in 2022 wanted to be a high draft pick so he decided to bet on himself he's back maybe a little bit longer than he expected 6 years here and he's explosive yeah to get emotional seeing what guys have gone through especially Donovan he says well I think about the things that he's also put me through said he's kind of driven me nuts the last three months he didn't even think after the pause it is second down and BM Under Pressure get swung down Chico Bennett Chico comes from the outside and he goes all the way back to the inside and he goes untouched from that offensive line of Wake Forest able to pick him up Virginia had 11 sacks last year they've got five [Applause] Tonight third down and [Applause] nine and it's incomplete fourth down not on the same page with hm was expecting pressure and I'm not sure that Fields saw the pressure he's running a go again career long for Matt Dennis the kicker is 46 so this is outside of his range fiveman Rush BM rolls Flags fly B and now a third flag comes in at the end of the play as well four Flags I count four Mike I got one over here at the 20 Midfield so we got four flags on the play we got him all over the place three near the back field and then one we got two flags on the 50 yard lines they are fouls by both personal foul roughing the passer Defense number 82 holding offense number repeat the down so all of that and you repeat the passer Jam Jackson the corner had the holding and then on the offensive line for Wake Forest as up by six Midway through this fourth quarter at home in Winston Salem in the ACC opener Donovan Green and Rush BM goes down sacked by Trey McDonald bmy want to go with the football he had his eyes right there on Donovan Green with a nice job by Virginia they though he had to hold on to it but great coverage and Trey McDonald comes in for the sack that is six sacks that's something that will fire up John radinski the third-year defensive coordinator again after they had 11y candria and the Cavaliers go to work with Xavier Brown on the ground out to the 49 and the Cavaliers are thinking tie and take the lead and I love the patience remember the last series we said you brown Ducks down with nothing there again they're leaning on him that's what it looked like he slipped I think that's what I saw from Brown as he tried to make that cut to go north and south and who do you go to here I'm seeing fields and Neville at the bot third down they keep it on the ground with Xavier Brown if you're thinking four down territory to begin with you're probably okay with that run yeah I think that's what the the thought process is there and here come Pace comes in so now you've got Kobe face the better blocking back keep it on the ground they've trusted calandria's arm on fourth down and short again candria across Seria and that was they called a double mesh route you had the two underneath crossers Neville nice job by candria knowing that it was in zone found Fields off play action kandria on cour Mari claser in coverage likely hit with pass interference claser never looked back at the the football he had the but had that left hand on defense number 25 15yd penalty on mtic first down candry to throw the ball up just watch that ending Fields is trying to get back to the football glaser's not even looked for the penalty came in and how about some big fourth down conversions from Virginia here candria checks it down Kobe Pace get swung out of bounds by Dylan Hazen he wants the make the big play but he made the routine play a lot of coaches always say can you make the routine play here is Pace on the ground lowering the shoulder and running right at running right through the leading tackler for this football team number 45 Nick Anderson it's mono imano in the Red Zone scanning moving still searching candria for The End Zone and I believe Pace may have stepped out I see that that official on that side over there probably would have been a penalty had Pace caught that football closest they got was 2017 and halftime down by six now in the fourth Asar a ninth grab for Malachi Fields I think this is I always see down here the spread out spread the re receivers out and kandria wake fors defensively my antennas are up for the quarterback run on this play Pace pushes the pile inside the 10 and it brings up forth down T like it was earlier on this drive for the Cavaliers yeah just try to cut that opportunity in half they've been in fourth and one and fourth and two both times candre has got to the air yeah I love a run play option here for clunch at the bottom but giving cander an opportunity to take off with his legs pressure comes down to the two and it's Malachi Fields again that's a Sunday catch that's a big candria pulls Jes pushes toward the goal line waiting on a signal and for Virginia that might not be the worst thing no it may not be the worst thing but Here Comes Here Comes But Here Comes the Grady package after another fourth down conversion one of the backup quarterbacks Grady broster house under Center gets a [Applause] push Virginia's a point after away from its first lead tonight from one of the backup quarterbacks in the Grady Bunch package for the Cavaliers and Virginia's got the lead with 207 to go in the fourth so three High Fields you need your big time players to make a big play in the big moment fourth down Malachi Fields that's a big strong catch yeah he flexed a little bit there but that fourth down and you talk about UVA strong UVA tough these are the moments that coach Elliot kept talking about the cultures are already established but this is where you develop the identity this is anide identity game in candria moments for Tony Elliot who said to his staff all week and said it to Dave Clawson standing at Midfield pregame win seasons in his first two years at the helmet Charlottesville wake will have it at candra has been hot for the whoos Mike he's growing up in front of us right the young sophomore just putting the teach down a little bit earlier but he's got to have it plays those fourth down plays the belief from his head coach Tony Elliott wanted to see better decision making from him as a sophomore won the job with a week to go in Camp over Tony mus is 14 tonight and now Hank bm's turn for Wake Forest trailing for the first time this evening his legs to get out after seven yards to the sideline run out by James Jackson fourth Virginia by one looking to get to 2 and0 you'll see it here on ESPN sure is is Kevin and out of the two-minute timeout Hank bmers Under Pressure five Fields Chico Bennett brought the heat on Bach third down us come from this is a much different team that we've seen all of last year they could not sack the passer they have harassed digs down a point first time they've trailed tonight pressure comes BM gets rid of it tripped up at the 50 by Trey McDonald after 19 H you love the route combination over there you get a clear it gets around and boom stands up just communication different levels by the defense of Virginia got to communicate got it complete moreen again football came out green tried to pick it up and it looks like for by Taylor Moren Antonio clar's got the takeaway [Music] you want to see hustle it's that tomorrow when you say how did Virginia win this football game it's these types of plays it's Malcolm green with the hit that knocks the ball loose and in Antonio Clary makes one of the huge plays in recovering that football last and with green going in initially looks like the ball's out before the left knee's down that Ball's out that is a hustle Antonio C Clary to get in there and wrestle that ball away he wanted it more from Donovan Green he wanted it more with it and Clary just fought for the football and got it what in that Clary in a defense full of them for Virginia tonight yeah I just looking at Donovan Green I thought he tried to just rips that ball away huge play Virginia football what an effort play one first down right here for Virginia this game's over so if you're weight you got to sell out defensively and you're saying for Virginia we need one first down they've struggled to run it all night wing Forest can use its first timeout they sto the clock with 119 to go here in the fourth quarter just what a b outstanding play Bach me to his one of his fa knocks that ball and just rips the ball out and Donovan Green's running to the football he's trying to pick it up and Advance it number zero he's coming in to recover and he wrestled that ball away from Green this is one of the biggest plays for this program in recent memory absolutely trying to start two and0 something they have candria keeps it again and kandria works back toward the original line of scrimmage third third down just six more seconds come off the clock and it's been more than 20 years since Virginia won here three TS had Heath Miller grabbing a couple of touchdown passes and Virginia got a 383 two great NFL careers there from Sha and Heath Miller but it's is a big third down right here they forced that final timeout so trying to get a run play North and South maybe get one of those sweeps to the outside left hashmark and this is when the decision making for Anthony kandria High Fields won't be enough for a first down they get it out to the 36 and Wake Forest takes its final time P up in the air Mike I I would have tried to just run the footb and still Force wake for us to take the time out ready around the ACC yes SMU if you need a reminder is now in the ACC pyu got the win against win at the Dome yeah huge win Now Syracuse has entered the chat all right hey we're here we're a much different team with M odds continue to grow one of the better quarterbacks in all the college football and here in Winston Salem a huge hoer such unimaginable tragedy year two 3 and nine felt like they had a more normal offseason but 108 left punt is a lowline drive that gets away bounces past Taylor Moren all the way with 57 seconds to [Music] go and how fitting for Virginia how many key players we've seen defensive step up today and it's going to be on their defense to win it to get back well Wake Forest is now in the hole they're at their own five with 57 seconds left and it from his own End Zone BM emerges breaks the tackle and goes so now with that sack the clock is running the clock is moving you got to get everybody lined up he got to throw that football away for the sideline for green who hung on to it got popped by yis sanker What A Catch what a throw clock's moving 11th catch for Donovan Green Green jump ball incomplete with Jam Jackson in coverage 20 seconds to go yeah good no call there and hand a a line change for the defensive line but unbelievable catch how does BM get it in between you got the two high safeties they're going to make sure that everything stays in front Force BM to have to deliver a perfect football away floats it toward Fields who made the catch just past the 40 clock shows I saw two guys go right to the ground holding wake fors which results also in a 10-second run off it's on the left tackle Devonte Gordon 11 seconds you got to throw this one deep here Mike and wi's trying to get [Applause] organized backed up all the way to their own 20 the sideline for Fields who steps out of bounds shy of the 30 with 5 seconds remaining for Wick now they're all about the 50 yd line they're only going to rush three look at this is this is the last play of the game Han BM across the middle Virginia trying to pick it up Wake Forest diving for it scooped up the football flip back from fi and Foria wins it in Winston S A FLIR down wake in comeback fashion and now we can exhale wow what New Mexico state is on the way with Brian kuster Ron Gilmore and Lauren Su Kirk Morrison Don Davenport our entire crew [Music]
