kick it's good the away team with the first score of the game seven nothing the home team is back on their heels now but if they can come out and match that score it'll swing the momentum back in their favor number 80 takes the kick and he's brought down after a return of 15 this is a pressure drive for the offense they've got a chance to pull back into to the driver's seat with a score on this possession he drops back play action fake throws deep right tackled and that's enough for a first down as good as advertised Dave we expected to see some great offense today and it's coming around hike Bowman gives it away [Music] second down for the home team go on the car tackled near the line third down and short with the hand off tackled near the line up at the 44 yd line first down when you can pick up the first by running it really opens up your playbook to the next set of downs tosses the pass snagged out of the air by number one that brings up second down he hands it to number Le that's a well executed run to move the chains [Applause] go second down forther back to pass incomplete hike he tosses it to number [Applause] 24 that'll bring up a fresh set of downs after a run like that it's so tempting to just keep feeding him the ball until the defense finds a way to stop it hike penalty marker on the [Applause] field well we'll see if that holds up after the penalty the away team accepts the penalty penalties can be real Drive Killers or savers and he's [Applause] off that gets us to Second down second and long back to pass he is sacked in the backfield by number six third down looking to pass the pass falls harmlessly to the ground sometimes you have to have that Gunslinger mentality and take a shot to keep the defense on their toes it didn't work out we'll still let the D know that this QB isn't afraid to test them deep the home team is getting set for the kickoff number 39 sends this one into the End Zone number nine catches the tackled after a return of 15 the offense comes into this drive with a onep possession lead I'm looking for them to try and take a chunk of time off the clock and grab another score the QB makes the TOs and he's

being dragged down by Nelson hike number 39 kicks it up and he's good from 33 yds out the home team Bridges the Gap a bit 14 six those key plays we talked about played a large part in that drive they keep closing the Gap Dave number nine catches the kickoff and he's brought down after a return of 15 if the offense can get another score on this drive here it will really put the pressure on steps into the pocket the receiver can't bring it in t there's a penalty marker on the field let's see how the penalty affects things the away team accepts the penalty so many penalties are just mental mistakes T number 33 takes the ball second down tonight the QB tosses one out that'll be enough for the first down blocking can be one of the more overlooked aspects of running but their impact on that first down run was pretty evident QB tucks it in and runs that will bring up second down go back to pass he tosses one makes the catch that gets us to third down he steps back to pass he can't bring it in third and Longs are one of the hardest down in distances to convert the defense did a great job holding them up there there's the kick just a bit outside the home team has to feel good

ways this one was not the game we expected Dave but certainly this type of lead has made a statement so much of football is mental the offense needs to get a score in this drive to build some confidence if they want any shot of coming back in this [Applause] game makes the catch he's stopped around the 36 and that's enough for a first down as good as advertised Dave we expected to see some

being down in the score he thought his team was playing better football overall he said if the trend keeps up they should be able to come out on top when it's all said and done back to you guys thanks

he drops back to pass he makes the [Music] throw the home team comes out in a four receiver set bman dropping back play action fake caught by number nothing and that's enough for a first down drops back into the pocket and he can't reel it in from under Center go the running back on the Run third down he steps back to pass and he misses his Mark even though that pass was incomplete those are the types of throws that stretch a defense the D was up to the challenge that number 90 on the punt the punt will sail out of bounds the offense comes into this drive with a one possession lead I'm looking for them to try and take a chunk of time off the clock and grab another score brought down almost immediately around the two that brings up second down number one back to pass saged out of the air that gets us to third [Applause] down and he misses his Mark the punt team makes its way up to the line he punts it away number nine taks the kick tackled after a return of 12 if the offense can

[Applause] go that'll give them a fresh set of downs another first down Dave I tell you this sets up the play action so well hike and he goes down that'll be a loss on nine second down he hands it

the ground from under Center he [Applause] third and short steps into the pocket the pass connects with number one that'll be enough for the first down cor by to pass the defensive tackle makes the sack the offense will lose about nine second down hike pitches it out to number nothing that gets us to third down third and goal for the home team he drops back to pass throws the ball he snags him out of the air for the simple X's and O's and in this case the offense just found a weakness in the D and got rewarded six points and it's good the home team will pull ahead with the score 2221 that was a big possession for the offense for them to be able to take the lead like that number 39 boots it the kick is caught at the three yd line if the offense can drive down the field and get some points here I'd expect to see a big momentum shift in the game go he pitches the ball to the [Applause] [Music] runner tonight the QB tucks it in and runs that'll be enough for for the first down being able to move the ball in the running game especially especially when you can pick up a first down gives you so many options in terms on play calling he's stopped by number seven five defensive backs for the home team steps back to [Applause] pass Oliver coming through blockers the that will be a loss of threee second down number one dropping back he tosses one the pass is intercepted by number seven we heard it often that quarterbacks need to have a short-term memory when it comes to mistakes that's so true he needs to move past this interception and put it out of his mind the home team comes into this drive with a onep possession lead I'm looking for them to try and take a chunk of time off the clock and grab another score penalty marker on the field we'll see if the penalty affects the outcome the home team accepts the penalty the defender was holding the receiver before the ball was thrown there that'll wrap things up for the third quarter the home team with the edge so far 22 21 T fakes the hand off number two catches it that will bring up second down play action pass another sack for the defense this one will push the offense back to the 19 third down Zing back throws the ball near the middle of the field first down not elusive enough to make that into a big play but still keeps that defense on the field he drops back he sets up and throws near the sideline second down second down in short the QB hands it off being able to move the ball in the running game especially especially when you can pick up a first down gives you so many options and terms on play

the home team is happy to get a score there but I think they would have rather come out of that situation with more points number nine takes the kick takes the return up to the 13 yd line if the offense can drive down the field and get some points here I'd expect to see a big momentum shift in the game the QB pitching L that gets us to Second down tonight the QB and it off third down a crucial third down for the offense the handoff is taken by number 24 that'll bring up fourth down the away team will kick this one away go more on the punt number nine the home team has a
