the Steel City might be most associated with its legendary NFL franchise but people here in Pittsburgh know that the ties to the Panthers Run Deep glad to have you with us here at aure Stadium home to the Pittsburgh Panthers what a game and what potential drama we have in store you've seen this script before top 10 team go in to a cauldron of emotion on the road and just hopes to be able to get out and tell about it as we'll see the number two team in the country the Florida state seals taking on a fellow ACC the give nice move to pick up yardage oh he gave him the limp leg he's ring the sticks for a first down this crowd bringing the energy and noise early they'll give it to him again turns it on in Midfield Mak to get them into plus territory now it's first and 10 from the 46 yd Line running the option it's Sanchez we'll give him a couple sometimes people say if you're good enough what's a big deal about not going on the road well if you're not careful you might find out in a spot like this one guys yeah no doubt about it this is a hostile environment and me this one all off seon so they better be ready to bring it today David and the hardest thing to do in college football is to go on the road everything about it changes and you want to shut this crowd up early you don't want to give them belief cuz the seols will line it up on First and 10 easy Ed the play fake now to throw coming after him just masterful this offense trying to quieten the crowd on first and goal and they are not cooperating he'll try to get it in with the run and he Sprints to the end zone touch down no and they just keep feeding it to their Workhorse back to open this game great job in the open field he's got tremendous Vision he can make people miss you saw all of that on display here in the opening dri time looking for a physical attack from the gun crosses the 30 to always harp about staying ahead of the chains and you can run with that type of efficiency on first down man you are doing just that still on his feet at the 45 finally would be proud of the way they're using those horses to move it on the ground yeah get the horsepower going and man they've had some serious backs over the years at Florida State and you think about all the talent all the swag over burner's coming inside the 10 touchdown 7 and once he got away from the D they had no shot at catching it well this offense is top 10 in the country in points per game because they've got a lot of speed and they've got home run hitters they score fast they don't need 10 plays to go down the field you saw it right there they've recruited well they've got Playmakers they are going to be a problem for defenses all year long they'll go to the ground crosses the 30 to the 30 and they really put a lot on the offensive line to go out and really try and establish their dominance and their Asser iess and they've done a good job of that early in this game running the football PS it in on the right nothing but green ahead touchdown Florida State and once he found daylight it was Katie Bar the Door baby you know often times in college football the best offenses are the ones that can create explosive plays just like you saw right there they're top 10 in the nation and points per game because they don't have to drive the field they've got dudes scattered all over the this offense that can take it the [Applause] distance they'll leave it with him nice move to stay on his feet and he was able a decent pick up on that play got eight on first down now looking at a second and two trying to make that Rush think on the draw play here they get him on the they'll snap this one from the 42 it's first and 10 42 spider 42 spider one running back in the back field and he has it and it's on the ground oh and he's able to it and avert that can build on this lead before the break picked up two yards on that last one they need eight on second down just when they're looking run now up top and the pass it's picked off and that's just excellent cover man cover one nowhere to throw the football look at everybody playing man across the board and you still got the safety in the middle of the field nobody open and if I'm the QB man I don't need to force it I I don't force it in a tight Windows if it's not there he throws it unfortunately gets the interception bad decision by the QB there [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they're going to open this drive with a pass caught on the outside it's brown illegal touch off accepts it they will take the penalty and now on second down for this offense fires to the right pulls it in finally run out of bounds but he has this offense rolling with a first down this just ridiculous and he threw for over 300 yards last game out he's putting up another monster game here today guys looking for the end zone and it's caught touchdown no yeah and that's simple but it's not easy it's a go route like that that receiver streaking straight down the outside of the field and my job as a quarterback is to put that ball up in the air keep it away from the safety he does just that receiver comes down with the catch nice pitch nice catch touchdown looking to pass it's Sanchez going to take a shot brings it down on the right side he's loose and he eluded the defense and he'll take it all the way touchdown 70 the Mantra is always finished and they're trying to do that here in the regular season with this week 12 performance and I think in the pre- snap I think both of these guys were on the same page they had a look defensively that let them know we can pitch this thing way down the field I'm going to go run under it and make a big they'll crank up this drive with the pass fires to the wide out oh the defense almost came up with a turnover let's see what they've got on second down the play action fake they bringing heat trying to escape and get it himself Pi up a few and avoid a negative play there they line up and it is a long way to the sticks from here on third down he'll try to pick it up through the air and that's incomplete a Defender all over him knocked the ball to the ground fourth down coming up [Applause] the give to the tailb sweet feet on the move and he broke one time the big pick up on first down leaves him with second and one he's looking to [Applause] throw got some room headed to the goal line touchdown foror the state and the beat down has ensued number five I mean you talk about calling a pretty good defense you feel good about and you take away the pass and what does the quarterback do he pulls it down and just shows the speed basically becomes a running back takes it all the way to the house and makes your defense look silly trying to start the drive with a pass going downfield for the big play makes the grab at the T touchdown no and the Ping has started and this dude is spinning flaming Spears everywhere and he is cutting apart this defense going to have n Nation doing the chop getting excited getting jacked up about this guy because this is the kind of day that starts to bring even more momentum to this spot now you got a quarterback that you can off the play fake on first down to throw on the move and looking deep it's complete hey hughe pick up touchdown 7even and the punishment has been extended well I'm not sure who was closer to the receiver there the defensive backs or us here in the booth that was great execution on offense receiver wins the route one-on-one shows off his speed gets himself wide open there was no question where the quarterback was going with that ball nice J just complete and utter dominance in this one outplayed their opponent and took care of business yeah Total Domination in all three phases of the game offense defense and special teams this team came ready to play and man it was pedal to the metal right from the opening kickoff and that's how you like it forget the close games forget the Heartbreakers the oh this play could decide just frying pan meet face ball game over that's going to do it for us for Jesse Palmer David poock our entire broadcast team I'm reys Davis this has been another presentation of EA Sports
