vs. Duke Blue Devils, 09/06/2024 confuse [Music] Mercy B up in the back field nothing there for start Thomas here we [Applause] go got got to here we go snap it when they're in the neutral zone Duke knew Ito right taking his first shot and coverage over the top was right there to snap it away Terry Moore with the pick for Duke we would be silly if we did not prepare deeply for the quarterback run game on Duke's defense well he gives this time that is swallowed up Porter with nowhere to go kend D Charles in the middle of that defensive line transfering from Princeton to Duke nowhere to go Ed just set Wesley Williams who does his best work in pass rush but stepping up in a run fit there his defense can push Northwestern further backed out of field goal range right trying to get around the edge and he's not getting there Chandler rivers in the back field up from cornerback go false start negative negative 12 yd going backwards later Brown drops the ball Wayan Brown drops the ball and they'll have to UNP [Applause] [Music] it Northwestern pointing that they have it and they do really was fun walking around here yesterday 90° feel like you're on the football games about to break out you know there's some new guys here memories of that fresh in the cat's mindes and that's going nowhere Thomas dragged down by Turner first third down at the second half for Duke pocket collapses down he goes RJ Pearson with the sack for the Wilds when you're the te part of that a lot of times on that you become the free rusher up right there booom ball is blocked Northwestern of the big special teams [Applause] play that is such a huge deal right there short field inside the Red Zone and determined to hold cam Porter to a field goal here less than 100 total yards in the first half for the Duke offense on second down it's Murphy looking for an explosive not going to come hereen Johnson with the interception the bull rush specialist just like you like three 4% body fat I think they said support to put him [Applause] away oh boy oh Ball's out ball is outa lost the football Duke is on it a snatch and back turnover for the Blue Devils it's Azie Nicholas start two and0 heading into the back field and Howard runs him down what a drive Howard's having he been a close game all night biggest lead has been four points and right to the how Howard again has been the defensive MVP of this second half for Duke and plenty of time and space to play with for Duke chasing a field goal it's Murphy and Saka brings him down ball comes out B comes out after Saka made the hit and Northwestern saying they've got it and they do game on the line on Third and one Murphy out of the pocket to Moore Smith is all over him and it is fourth down in a Timeout Miller Miller we quarterback run right runs out of room to go Rivers up to make the Stop and the game comes down to Fourth Down Indiana Hoosiers vs. Western Illinois Leathernecks, 09/06/2024 they'll pack their bags here to Bloomington on a third and five situation here for Nate lamb in this Western Illinois offense and swallowed up it's another sack combining on it Indiana Tucker as well as Carr junor watch the time is what we're saying can cannot be guaranteed but it is our best guess going to try our best there's a picture now the cheer you he is is for the scoreboard not the play necessarily deari Davis with the catch a loss of one advantage of this offense trying to find who their lead running back a bad snap though and Lead receivers will be here in week two and down he goes lamb had nowhere to go and kamaro wraps him up once again second and five so a little bit of breathing room here for this offense and as I say that wrapped up and pulled down by Tyreek Tucker it's another sack he'll take a breather as uh folks Joe Davis has seen enough for not trying to spin out of trouble Indiana trying to track down lamb and still trying to track him down and pushed out of bounds warnell junr a special football team in the history of Indiana football did something that had never been done and has not been done since picked off and Indiana has a turnover forced on the defensive side Mendoza is a freshman and Mendoza getting chased and wrapped up in the back field nice play by Gage Freeman they have checked all of those marks on the ground and in the air [Applause] tonight and picked off Indiana into the end zone a pick six relijah Hardy taken it to the house AJ Green and now relijah Hardy look and read the eyes of Nathan lamb just telegraphs it like a Western Union Telegraph and Hardy just picks it off so pressure coming 's in trouble gets hammered in the back field in Indiana the ball is loose bounces on it and forces the turnover for a program that's that's hungry to get back on the winning track and Joe Davis talked about one of the reasons I took this job is because there no longer in the NBC talk about big hits hello they're still playing hard the pits the left side to kobby Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Bowling Green Falcons, 09/07/2024 Martin big third down here Aller in trouble dropped ay McGary Aller in trouble he's still alive what a play by power but he finally runs out of time and Bowling Green pursues Aller all the way back to the 25 yd line first and 10 Aller pocket collapses Aller goes down good coverage down the field first and 10 sounds like Tyler Warren could be Aller intercepted in the end zone and a foolish decision to bring it out by jakori Benjamin what was he thinking he wasn't that was the point Pac under Center play action pass intercepted Tony Roos incredible baslac flutters one intercepted Zachy Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Akron Zips, 09/07/2024 Wheatley on the field pressure up the middle cak Manz was drilled and it's intercepted he lines up under Center he's got the football and rers was ready for it right off the gut really trying to go the other direction that's a terrible pass and it picked off Quan loyal with the interception trying to get to the end zone and he's down at the three yd Maryland Terrapins vs. Michigan State Spartans, 09/07/2024 line MSU backed up in front of a lot of Maryland fans with noise in their ears they go over the middle that is intercepted it's Glendon Miller backto back weeks with the Glendon Miller in interception and he sets up Maryland inside of the Red Zone to a decent spot it just took off on him he's got to get his feet set so he'd be accurate on those throws so been police in general obviously we don't want to give him the ball like that defensively making them earn it we put a couple of drives yeah they scored on the first one we got off the field and then we give them the ball on the 15 10 picked up to Spartans don't typically move with a lot of tempo with time dwindling now they're going to try to speed it up here child sneaks out of the pocket improvising child might have to go down here and he does now sets him back to First and 20 again good protection for Charles once the end zone with massis and was that picked off in bounds looks like this time it was from Jaylen [Music] husky childes that pole is available who has it front of the safety he was able to turn the nose of the football over in a really rapid man rebound exess right back to the air dangerously deflected was that Washington Huskies vs. Eastern Michigan Eagles, 09/07/2024 intercepted we'll miss a short period of time presumably now here's a rush on the punt and it's blocked by Eastern Michigan Jack mallister had the punt blocked wow got him some good positive yards that's some second andag the situation yeah got a favorable spot so it's six yards Snider thinking keeper all the way lot of room oh he may put the ball in the turf and Washington has it fumble at the end of the Run by Cole Snider recovered by the Huskies officially the ball at the 13 on second down and Zack dery got to Snider then went to Hutcherson Community College in Kansas last year here's trouble and a penalty puts him in a worse position here Snider steps up on third down Zack dery gotot it keep it out of Harm's Way pry was in good position as well zel Griffin is a Washington Native from Vancouver Washington that went for 28 yards Snyder has to eat it Zack dery Steve belich said he he loves the corners and the size of the corners on this team and you saw pryck there at 64 and run support and now the pocket collapses all these def backs we're talking about number 21 dys McCutchen oh Snider well Lynch has come to life here that's a party plowing the road the transfer from San Diego State at right tackle Mohamad just helped as a party chip a pass rusher and then Williams goes the other direction oh and he takes on contact and lost the ball everybody knows baby got backs are mix on the list
