NCAAF LIVE🔴 North Carolina Tar Heels vs Minnesota Golden Gophers | Week 1 - College Football 25

at Minnesota they have everything from a Heisman to a nersi in their Rich Legacy and today in Minneapolis the Golden Gophers hope to add another memorable chapter we've got a sensational match up for you fans have been filing in and getting ready for this game as we'll see a squad from the ACC the North Carolina Tar Heels taking on a team from the Big 10 the Minnesota Golden Gopher glad to have you with us for EA Sports college football I'm Reese Davis David poock and Jesse Palmer with me in the booth guys we are ready to tee it up and the Golden Gophers will kick it off to get us underway and he's coming out of the endzone I know he thinks he can house every return but sometimes you just have to take a knee as at the 14 so the North Carolina Tar Heels offense is going to be backed up thanks to that lackluster return and this big fella can beat you in a number of different ways in the passing game David yeah so much fun to have a guy that I can rely on that can beat guys over the middle of the field that can beat manto man coverage this guy's the Ultimate Weapon and I love that this guy has an awesome catch radius you don't have to be perfect as a quarterback when you throw to him he can make you look good after getting knocked back to open this drive it's second and 12 the give to the running back from the shotgun that one did not go well tackled in the back field for a loss of six well they were trying to run a sweep but they got put in the dust pan real fast and defenses understand I cannot let fast guys get on the edge I I got to get that ball turning back towards the middle really good job of understanding that understanding he gets too far outside from them big boys they aren't even in the play they're they're just chasing and running and he's going to go down at the one you know as an offense you've got to do a better job pass protecting and you got to start thinking about Max protection at this point of the game because if you don't get hats on hats your quarterback goes down on his own two yard line you're lucky you didn't give up his safety and the tels will line up to punt it away doesn't say much for your drive when you're looking forward to the punt sometimes avoiding disaster is the best thing the punter just gets it out of there and make the Stop and that is exactly what you want out of your punt cover unit so the Minnesota Golden goers offense has the ball for the first time and they seem to believe that they can take big plays away and coverage by just locking him up in this matchup David and it's hard to lock down a great wide receiver but a great defensive back versus a great wide receiver we got a showdown yeah let's be honest David most defenses don't have a dude like that a cornerback that could do that in a game like this but this matchup is unique and it's going to really determine the outcome of the game didn't get much on first down it's second and nine looking to throw it's brosman fires to the big fella really nice job there by both guys the throw and the catch to work that defense and get the first down they pick up the first down on the drag route I know that seems like a simple route but it's actually a lot more complex than what it looks like because that route changes based on whether it's man or Zone if it's man coverage he's flying across the field if it's Zone he's got to sit down over the ball in a soft spot giving his quarterback a place to go with it nice job of those guys being on the same page touchdown golden goer made the grab and finished the deal in the end zone and what a nice start for this offense the throw game getting working getting the touchdown pass this quarterback getting a little bit of confidence this passing game getting in a rhythm nice start for this offense lining up for the Pat and the extra point makes it seven nothing quick strike offense on that three playay scoring drive and they finish it up with the final 30 yds coming courtesy of that touchdown pass they're just about ready to kick it [Applause] away he'll bring it out I know he thinks he can house every return but sometimes you just have to take a knee as he stopped at the 14 the North Carolina offense returns to the field the last time we saw this offense we had to look quick it was a three and out Jesse just had it's a bumble on the play defense just cradling that bumble curing it as a Defender you love the big hits and you know what the cherry on the Sunday is when you get the big hit and force the F and the offense takes over to dip in its Bag of ball plays he'll start this drive firing unleashes one deep and it's caught dodg down Minnesota that is exactly what most offenses will do big momentum play my defense creates a turnover I'm being aggressive I'm going for the big score the big play down the field they get rewarded they get the big passing touchdown on to attempt to try the kick is up and good and put one more on the lead that's taking advantage of a golden opportunity set up with great field position and they struck quickly for the touchdown kickoff team has the ball teed up in there ready to go bringing it back didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 North Carolina has it back in the Tar Hill so pleased to send the offense back out may not be the most memorable play of the day but it's important as he gets them out to the 25 yd line well it's plays like that that will help this offense stay in Rhythm all game if you can have that kind of success on first down running the football it just opens up your entire Playbook moving for 8 yard pickup on first down leaves them with second and short they feed him again Bulls is Way Forward they get him on the ground but it's a first down I love when players understand situations and they understand where the first down marker is and they understand where I got to get to a lot of people you'll see run north south and try bounce out wide and make big plays sometimes it's not about making big plays sometimes it's about getting that first down to make sure I get an extra set of downs instead of trying to make those big touchdown LS he maybe gets a yard they'll Mark him at the 29 yeah and the running back didn't get much here but you know you clearly want to always establish the tempo run the football be consistent make that defense physically meet the challenge didn't get much on first down it's second and nine power football with the Run makes one man miss and it is a good idea to gang tackle first guy couldn't get him second guy finally did all right well look I know the defense was feeling real good about their run de coming into this one and how they've been playing up to this point but finally David the offense breaks through and they finally generate something positive on the ground and I can't tell you how easy it is when you're going to throw the ball consistently and I know it I'm going to pin my ears back and I'm going to get to the qu it makes life really easy on a defensive line but when you can have balance now the defense doesn't know what's coming they need more of this if they're going to be successful on offense they'll line up for a second down play the give to the back that play Just never had a chance a knock him down for a loss of five well they're trying to get that run play going to the outside but it's the defensive end who does a great job winning his one-on-one and forcing the negative play they line up with some serious work to do if they want to convert this one on Third and long he'll need to loosen up that arm they'll run the screen they play that screen nicely he tried to find his way to the marker but it'll be fourth down they allowed the completion but this defense was swarming to keep them away from that first down line yeah and you allow completions in those third down situations underneath the sticks and you come up and rally and everybody flies to the football that's great execution by this defense fourth down and the punt team sends it the other way signals for the fair Catch and makes it at the 20 the Minnesota offense is headed back onto the field boy David they would love to stack another touchdown on top of that last drive and this offense did such a good job on the last Drive everything in Rhythm moved the ball down the field didn't make those mistakes Jesse and they need to do it again on this one yeah you're right they had the defense on their heels you wonder what sort of communication was going on that sideline what sort of changes were they able to make because they got to stop the bleeding right now pulls it on the bootleg fake throws to the wide out and that's going to fall to the ground incomplete that was a physical match up there third down coming my job is to make sure that ball comes loose and I got to go through that guy use my shoulder pad drive my feet really really be physical because if he bobbles it at all or as soon as his hand gets to the ball you can tell the difference when that body jerks forward and that ball starts to come loose and po they make the stop but for the screen has hit him for a first down and much more really good execution by this offense well they pick up the first down there on the screen I love the offensive line there allowing the pass rush to get way up the field they completely baited their guys made them think that they got beaten that they were going to get the sack and then they sneak the running back street right in behind them and pick up the first that's what you expect from a senior don't give them any extra yards great tackle there you definitely want to commit to the Run game you you want to establish the Run game you want the defense to honor it but if it doesn't work a little later down the road you might think about aing that out didn't get much on first down it's second and N right back to the well and he's a real Nowhere Man tackled in this no gain land great job by the whole defense but how about the little bitt defens back throwing his face in the fan I ain't scared I don't just cover guys I make tackles they've got some work to do on this third and long from the 40 back to pass it's brosmer coming after him receiver looks it in it's complete he almost picked up the first down on that one but he'll be just a little bit short one of the things I love about this defense is they just have such great awareness and they're always communicating they understood the down and distance they knew exactly what they needed to do to make the tackle to force the punt that is so well done the Golden Gophers will try to pin them back with the punt a fairly short distance here toward the sidelines not his best work the North Carolina offense returns to the field they just didn't quite find the Rhythm on that last Drive Jesse they had to punt it I think they got to be more physical David I think up front he's got it on the left running toward the tap touchdown tarel and once he found some daylight it was time to make a house call this is a special talent playing the tight end position because he's not a guy that's just going to catch flat routes and block he's a guy you can line up all over the field he can stretch the field vertically shows off his speed he has very rare athleticism for a guy at his position and he showed it there on that long touchdown catch getting set for the point after and after the extra point they've cut the lead in half down 14-7 that drive not to taxing on the Playbook One play put it in the end zone just like that about to kick it off after punching it in for the touchdown on the run from inside his own five just never had a chance to shake loose and he'll be brought down at the 24 Minnesota has it back and the goer offense is headed on to the field they missed an opportunity to extend this lead the last time they had it Jesse yeah they got to be able to regain that momentum right go back to what was working earlier on in this D but to me that starts with being the more physical team I definitely agree being the more physical team but understanding the situation of the game you're still winning you got the football back now put a nice drive together and execute starting a drive like that really builds confidence first down from the 45 they'll give it to him again and he's able to find a little bit of Running Room before they get him down is always harp about staying ahead of the chains and when you could run with that type of efficiency on first down man you are doing just that got eight on first down now looking at a second and two Taylor has it and they'll stop him after a minimal pickup they're strong and they're strong defensive tackles they're scra there's such big jokers in the Middle where they just lock out those offensive linemen and running backs listen they don't have much of a chance when you got that 300 plus pound guy grabbing you around the shoulder pad you tend to go to the ground pretty quickly motion trying to get the defense to show it hand catch in the middle it's Williams putting together a real scoring threat here as they pick up the first down at the 36 really nice job there by the quarterback understanding that it's Zone coverage on third down you're going to have to find someone working into a soft spot get the ball out of your hands quickly make an accurate throw and pick up the first well done they go to the ground he had to fight for a couple down to the 33 I like feeding my guy I like getting my running back touches feeding the ball so he can break some of those big runs but I'm also with set the tone stay backwards picked up two yard on that last one they need eight on second down right back to it a run up the middle is stuck for No Gain well you love to see that from the defense right it's like Ben don't break they've given up a bunch of plays on this drive but now that they're getting down close to field goal range you're seeing them start to stiffen up yeah and plays don't matter anymore yards don't matter all that matters with these defenses nowadays is points and limiting them to the air it's brosmer fires to the tight end he'll come through on third down as he's got enough and they'll mark it at the 23 it's all about critical downs and distances on defense you want to be great unit defensively you've got to be good on third down and in the red zone for this defense giving up a third down like that that is just a gut punch and the Golden Gophers have it with a first and [Applause] 10 looking to move it through the air got a man it's Spencer excellent job working through the air they're finding a hole in that defense and picking up a first down this offense has become a first down machine and that is so demoralizing for the defense especially for those star players that are playing tons of snaps not out as much by the fourth quarter they're going to be gassed free snap motion quarterback trying to get a read getting some heat a little floater there that falls in complete defense rolls up deep in its own end on that last play now a second and long coming they'll Run play action and he runs it in for the score touchdown golden goer there have been miniseries novels movies long form ples that have been over in shorter period of time than that drive that was a marathon man that's just so frustrating when you're a defensive guy time and time again trying to get the stops and they just keep making the plays and they punch it in for a touchdown the moriz ready to try the point after and the extra point pushes the lead to 14 so it's a 77 yd touchdown drive and he found his way to the end zone from the seven to C it lining up to cover the kick after that touchdown [Applause] drive here he comes from inside his own five didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 North Carolina has it back in the tar Hills so pleased to send the offense back out he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three so first down didn't exactly go according to plan let's see what they can dial up on second down reys I got to right where I want okay I'm going to throw the football now I can get back in shotgun forget the running game stuff we play a little pitch and catch and see how good that secondary is out of the gun the inside hand off looking for a crease solid gain to get him out close to the 20 pick up of five to the 19 and runs like that are like body blows in a boxing match four five sixy gains early turn into 20 30 40 yd gains later they really wear down defenses and they test their physicality third down conversions are a huge stat and this one would be a dooy if they can pull it off they stop him after a short game probably just wanted to mitigate the losses with fourth down coming man that D tackle is a freaked athlete did you see him come out of his stance and beat the offensive lineman getting to the running back catlike quickness the tels will it away on [Applause] down coverage team able to put a stop to that return at the 42 yd line the Minnesota offense is headed back onto the field on that last Drive defense had no idea what was happening run or pass n wound up in the end zone Jess yeah you saw the experience in this offense that last drive too on that touchdown everybody on the same page these guys have Reed these plays over and over in practice and in games and it's working yeah so I got to find a way to disrupt it I got to find a way to maybe be more aggressive maybe Blitz mess up this Rhythm they got going off the boot looking for his man unloads to the wide out oh what a grab by the defense didn't have a lot of room to run after the pick but he's done his job they have it at the 44 who says defensive backs don't have hand hands nice job breaking on the football and making the catch a lot of times you see guys SWAT it down or you see them trying to catch it it looks like they have two left hands defensive backs don't catch real well nice job breaking on the football nice job securing the int and actually catching it the North Carolina offense returns to the field last time David it was one two three kick the last drive that three and out sometimes that puts your defense in a bad you got to get a drive together here so you don't wear the defense out I just think David too predictable at that last Drive they got to do something here to get this defense on their heels and offenses want to continue to feature the Run they want balance even if it's not super successful you can take it little bit at a time just to keep that defense got three on first down it's second and seven he's got an open man open space at the 25 and they were looking for a chunk play and they got it the explosive picks up more than 30 how about that St this dude is INF Fuego over a 100 yard receiving already you could tell there's a match up they like and they're going to exploit it continuing to feature this wide receiver who's just chewing up yards and the tels racing to the line in the hurry up not much working there it'll be second and nine as they get set to snap it just about to reach the end of the quarter Johnson looking to throw how about that play to get a hand in there and force the incompletion I think the wide receiver needs to do a better job making it look like he's going deep he never got the cornerback that time to turn his hips and because of it he couldn't separate and the ball Got swatted Away incomplete this should be the last play of the [Applause] quarter on third down going up top fires to the right and the catch and run into the end zone touchdown North Carolina this is a running back who is versatile and his catching ability really helps this offense out vertically down the field and you saw it on that play on the wheel route that wasn't just a screen or a swing they got him faking going to the flat turning up the sideline for a touchdown they'll try to attack one more on their score and the Pat will draw them one point closer a very offic ient five play scoring drive that's going to do it for the quarter and Minnesota has the lead here more importantly we have an early barn burner here both teams firing on all cylinders as our stats will show you if you like offense this second quarter is probably going to be a game for you kickoff team is on the field they'll try to drive this one deep on the move from inside is five nice job executing all of the assignments as they put a stop to that return at the 22 Minnesota has it back and the Gopher offense is headed onto the field from the gun the running back has it he's stuffed after picking up one to the 23 the Run game just has not been working for this offense all game long we saw it on that last play as well just getting enough push up front on the offensive line they haven't been physical didn't get much on first down it's second and nine wants to throw it's brosmer he tries to take the top off and it slips through his fingers incomplete that would have been a huge game if he could have held on yeah and I love taking deep shots I think it makes quarterbacks play honest safeties play honest and you could tell I just missed a little bit deep on that shot but listen those are shots that we want to take because the risk is definitely worth the reward the playaction fake and the pressure gets there and down he goes at the 18 this is a good sign for this defense the rate they were going not touching the quarterback him already having two touchdown passes in the first half this was not going to be a fun football game to watch now they're turning the tide a little bit getting a little bit of pressure getting a sack the golden goord send out the punt unit this will be the second time they've had to kick it away this is a spot you see many returners try to take a chance but not this time the fair catch just inside the 40 wide receiver shows motion quick pass on the Fly I the defense wouldn't let him lose there and it was a completion but they lost yardage got to give the defense credit watching film anticipating they knew that this offense had this play in their back pocket they knew about the speed of this wide receiver in different ways they were going to try to get him involved everybody on defense on the same page playing together I love it single back formation and they give it to him they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one that DB had a different story he had something to say coming up making a physical tackle a third and long coming up here Johnson wants to throw it that pass not close as he got drill trying to deliver it and it'll bring up fourth down QBs and receivers on third down everything has to happen just a split second sooner You're Expecting pressure the quarterback gets hit just down on the same page with this taret the tarel decide to punt it away he's getting a lot of work fourth time he's punted tonight here's the fair Catch and he'll make it close to the 20 yd line the Minnesota offense is headed back onto the field here's another opportunity Jesse to stretch out this lead after punting last time I think it goes back to your play makers Reese I think it's finding the guys that have been working for you earlier on in this game and getting them the football yeah and there's obviously no need to panic I mean think about it you got the lead you got the football you got to be smart with the football make your plays put a good drive together here after the big play to start now they are on the move at their own 45 he'll try the left side and a pick up of eight opens a world of opportunities on second and two keep pounding away at this defense and make them play the run if you can get this many a chunk they're going to have to commit more guys to the Box more guys to the run then you open it up for the passing game eight-- yd pickup on first down leaves them with second and short here's the hand off one step W twep squeeze this junior knows how to get him on the ground I'll tell you this is a running back who's very very dangerous and the defense did a good job getting him down there but they got to do a great job gang tackling because this is a guy that can break tackles and turn those types of plays into home runs let's see if they keep it on the ground here on third down they'll try to get the first through the air it's incomplete But Here Comes the flag and I think it's going to be a first [Applause] down and the defender just way too hands on that last play you could see all the contact as the ball was in the air you simply can't do it and the referee's caught gets it out quickly Nifty little dance step and this defense has its work cut out to get this dude on the ground he was shedding serious tackles on his way to picking up the first and this has got to be so demoralizing for this defense right now having given up multiple first downs on this drive somebody on defense has to step up make a play and stop the bed off the play fake on first down to throw complete to the left and they finally get him stop but it's a big throw and catch and he's down at the five as soon as he saw man coverage he knew exactly where he was going with it one-on-one with the post throw outside great job stacking the defender using his speed putting his foot in the ground to separate and at that point it was just a matter of locating the ball and making the catch and the Golden Gophers trying to pay off the on first and goal quick pass on the jet motion touchdown Minnesota and they'll put that scoreboard operator to work and put six on the board and this offense right now they are doing some damage through the air that's now their second passive touchdown they thought coming into this game they were going to have some matchups on the perimeter of the field that they could take advantage of and they've done that so far here today they'll try to add another to their lead and the extra point is good for a 2814 lead so that scoring Drive took only six plays [Applause] and he takes this from inside the five didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 North Carolina has it back in the Tar Hill so pleased to send the offense back out this is when the pressure can ramp up a little bit on an offense David when they start feeling the heat to answer a score and I think being down 14 you can kind of feel that way but dude good drive together this is a seven-point game so Palmer no need to pay it I was just going to say David I mean this thing can flip quick you go down score all of a sudden your defense gets a stop or who knows better yet gets a turnover this game is entirely different they're trying to slow that Rush down with the draw they'll knock him down after a pick up of one to the 18 [Applause] wow this offense is just stuck in the mud they've already punted four times and it's third down now Johnson looking to throw fires to the wide out he got a hand in there knocks it away incomplete that's why it's so important for this defense to win first and second down you set up third and Longs like that you can show your exotic looks you can get the pass rush going everybody in the back end expecting throw that's how you force Force four things and the tels will punt this one away they may have to pay him overtime he's pting for the fifth time today makes a move looking for Running Room he'll get it to the 43 yd line before he stopped Minnesota has it back and the Gopher offense is headed onto the field hand off from the shotgun and he's able to shed one tackle and gets a pretty good pickup defense is about energy it's about passion it's about physicality they need a little bit more of that get the guy in the ground you can't let guys break tackles what could have been set up in a long yard situation now it becomes an easier situation because you couldn't get him on the ground right back to the well they get him on the ground after he gets enough to move the sticks and listen the offensive line has to do their job but a really good job running back understanding where his hole is go hit it get the first down don't mess around nice job following his hole getting positive yards offense lines up for a first and 10 from the 43 out of the gun the inside G know I think a big part of this isn't necessarily scoring a touchdown on that plate but you're just trying to get your offensive line in the rhythm of the game let those Big Fellas get lathered up after the three yd pickup they come to the line Second and seven the give is to Taylor keeps the legs moving they get him on the ground at the 33 but not before he picks up six this defense has got to get better at tackling in the open field of game tackling because if you need three or four guys to bring a guy down have fun with that coming to the line of on third down they move the tight end all over he'll pull it on the read now well within Striking Distance as that third down play gets him a first at the 29 and I just love having a decisive quarterback like give him options but he makes a decision sticks his foot in the ground says I'm going to get the first down and he gets it the Golden Gophers are on the move he wants to throw finds a tight end and the defense settled in to stop that one for a short gain well this tight end he's got size and he's got some athleticism and he's very difficult to cover oneon-one defense is going to have their hands full with him today right on target with that last pass now it's second and medium looking for a man it's brosmer receiver wasn't ready for the throw incomplete they've moved it to the 25 but now facing a third and long from the gun wants to pass makes the grab it's Williams good job running that route to get past the sticks because he got nothing after the catch simple call excellent execution moves the sticks on third down these QBs and receivers man they run this route in practice thousands of times so it's nice to see them come out here and executed in game conditions great job with the timing great job with the depth and the route nice work between those two they knock him down after a pick up of four ball is at the 9 yd line going to work in the Red Zone they can pick up the first down without getting it into the end zone quick release by the QB he's all the way down to the two yd line just spectacular execution there no reason panic when you see those extra bodies coming just find the big tight head well and the great ones do that I think the great ones are okay you want to Blitz I know my answers I'm all right I'll stay patient find the matchup this time it was the tight end finds the tight end throws a strike gets the first down a first down run in the red zone and will cruise into the end zone touchdown golden goer follow the blockers the offensive L will take you to the Hallelujah land and I tell you what most of the time Reese it requires a little bit of skill to find that hole and you know Slither through a little crack that was not a crack that was wide open didn't take a lot of vision cuz the blocking was outstanding lining up to attack one more onto that lead and the extra point is true and the lead balloons to 21 they marched 56 ydd to the end zone and finish the deal with the short touchdown run from the two the kickoff unit about to go to [Applause] work the returner will field it and try to set up his offense in great field position didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 the North Carolina offense returns to the field able to pick up a couple before he's dragged down at the 19 and sticking to the run I tell you what a lot of teams that are really good are really stumble and they continue to run the football even with little success so this offense is going to continue to focus on running the football you can tell after picking up a couple at second and eight going with the counter play here b a little bit Running Room knocked down at the 24 after a pickup of four I think you run that play on second down knowing it's going to make Third Down Easy you're not trying to hit a home run you don't need the big play right now now you know third down everything's on the table everything's available High success rate after the last run would you just give it to him again on third down unloads to the right and the misconnection on third down defense did a great job third and short on the side of the field they're expecting quick throw everybody they dug their heel on the ground they're able to break on the ball Force the incompletion the tarel line up to punt it away they're up to a half dozen kicks today wants to return it he's brought down but a really solid effort to pick up every bit of yardage he could on the punt return the Minnesota off is headed back onto the field how about the way they attacked the last time they had the ball mixing run and pass and winding up in the end zone Jesse that's why recruiting is so important they've got weapons at every skill position on the field any of these guys is dangerous if they touch the football let's see what they do on this drive David and so Palmer I got to take away something I can't let them have everything and have success I got to be aggressive against the run or play for the pass I can't give him everything out in motion touch pass on the Jet Sweep really nice stop there from this senior leader well and on these little push passes timing is so important you're trying to snap it right as he's getting a full head of steam when he gets the ball he's hitting the outside and David it puts the defense in such a difficult spot you immediately have to be rotating when you see that motion so everybody's got to communicate and kind of bump over that's why offenses love to run it just it makes the defense communicate and just get him out of a spot he'll be stopped short picks up one but they're facing fourth and one you know this offensive line they just got to hold their blocks a little bit longer this offense likes to run their quarterback on designed plays and if you can just give them a little crease he can take it the distance but they couldn't get it done there and the Golden Gophers will send out the punt unit make sure that there's not going to be a return on this one balls out of bounds and I think they'll mark it right around the [Applause] 25 complete to start this drive and they'll move the chains and get it to the 47 yd line and a big key on that throw to the slot receiver guys is putting the ball out in front the location of the throw is what helped that guy get extra yards after the catch and the tels willle the [Applause] line wide receiver coming across in motion wants to throw on first down zings it complete to the right and he'll pick up one it brings up second and nine I like the decision by the quarterback here just get the ball out of your hands get it to your playmaker a lot of times he'll dance and make even big plays than he did here but it was still a positive game got the completion on the last play still some work to do on second down hand off from the gun nice move to keep running and he won't quite get there but boy after that pick up just a few inches to go for the first an array of possibilities here we've reached a two-minute warning and this thing has been one-sided and they hope to at least have something to feel good about about going into halftime a third down try for the offense Johnson wants to throw it makes the grab offenses gain momentum with third down conversions like that they've got it at the 25 and they just want to give this guy a chance to make a play on third down and more times than not he is going to deliver he's so good so efficient such a good route Runner got the speed got the complet game so you definitely want to highlight him and especially on those Downs that matter the most if something's not open Quick underneath find him he'll make those contested catches and he was hit just as he released it and it falls to the turf yeah and you don't see very many quarterback hits on screens you know the offense wants to Bluff real quick and make it look like pass and the quarterback's supposed to pop up look like pass and quickly get rid of you could tell timing all wrong it was all jacked up and that play went absolutely no he's going to pass on second down this time he's got him and he's knocked down immediately but they're in the red zone at the 14 and I love the awareness by the wide receiver on that play because I'm not sure that route was supposed to be that deep you got to wonder if the receiver decided maybe to adjust the route a little bit to make sure that he got the first [Applause] down looking to pass inside the Red Zone and and here comes the Heat and they get home and they get him at the 21 I know it's early in this game but man this defense has had their number they done a great job already built a huge lead now giving this offens of a situation where they got to pass the football and they better protect their quarterback better than they are right now that last play the kind of thing that can mess up a really good drive it's second and 17 using the quick gain he's brought down quickly minimal gain there still a bit short of the first down a timeout is called as this offense tries to find a way to get more points on the board before the half third and long and he'll try to throw for it it's complete to the right referee signals timeout it's the defense wanting to make sure that they have everything just right with a big play coming they've decided to try to go for the field goal here just drives it between the uprights so they put the field goal on the board and about to kick it away and hoping that'll be the final points of this first half he'll bring it back looking for help not nearly as much as he had hoped when he brought it out of the end zone he'll be stopped at the 15 Minnesota has it back and the Gopher offense is headed onto the field with the catch it's Williams he's brought down solid pick up but a little bit short of the first down slant routes they're good against man coverage but they're good against Zone coverage too if that receiver can find the soft spot between the linebacker and the DB you'll take that throw all day just enough time to get off one more snap to throw it's brosmer firing to the right complete still running at the 40 they'll knock him down and that'll take us to halftime first half in the books time now to join Kevin Connor in our halim update guys tough to beat the pageantry and tradition there in Minneapolis toughest job inside that Stadium right now might just be the scoreboard operator after all those first downs and touchdowns big plays have defined this one thanks to two of the best receiving core in all of college Football let's see if these defenses can adjust and make the necessary chess moves and with that let's send it back to our guys at the bank there in the Twin Cities looks as if we're set to crank it up here in the second half he'll bring it back from inside is five nice job by the kickoff team everybody stayed in their lanes and they'll stop him at the 16 the Minnesota offense is headed back onto the field if it's working why change it and that running game was working in the first half I imagine we'll see a lot more of it here in the third quarter and you just know the offensive line was telling their coordinator put this on us let us continue to go out there push these guys around we can put this game on our back and end this thing by running the ball and this is a manhood question for this defense like as a defensive lineman and you're pounding the rock pounding the rock like I got to physically rise to this challenge this defense has to play more inspired and More Physical in the second half looking for a physical attack from the gun they stop him just a link or two short of the first and man what they can do on second down here man when I can run the football like that on first down and creates second and inches and and stay way ahead of the sticks and and be in a position now where I can throw the football or run I will have a lot of success on the offensive side of the football CAU in the back field it's Jackson he steps out of bounds but it will be enough for a first down the Golden Gophers come to the line with a new set of downs here's a quick throw out the left they make the stop trying to pick up just a little bit at a time to get to that first down marker this quarterback right now is in a Groove and he's doing a nice job in PR he's reading the coverage and he's getting an idea of where he wants to go with the football that's why the ball's coming out of his hands so quickly that's why he seems like he's in a great Rhythm right now looking to throw it's brosmer he makes the connection there to make the tackle but the big throw is good enough to give them a first down and when you run those drag routes just takes a little bit of knowhow and when I say that the receivers got to understand find Space my quarterback's going to find me he's looking for that space at the same time nice throw nice catch way to get the first down it's first and 10 they've moved it to the 41 got his Man Down field gets him down at the 26 big play there give him 15 yard on the gain and they move the SS setting up for a first and 10 from the 26 out of the gun the running back has it they get him on the ground but not before he rumbles all the way to the five what a big time run for this offense a physical run getting down almost scoring the touchdown yeah and considering how well they're running it right now why would you just hand it off to this guy right here again after coming up with backto back explosive plays here they are first and goal snap it to the back he works his way all the way down to the three and the defense is reeling defense trying to come up with a stop on second and goal they're going to run it touchdown Minnesota and the beat down has ensued offense gets the job done again you want to build that cushion as we get deeper into the second half man it makes it easy doesn't it you start getting up by a couple possessions making the offense very predictable on the other side great job by the offense extending their lead the unit on the field [Music] and with the extra point they push the lead out a little further the officials offer the deal and the coach accepts it they will take the penalty they're lining up to kick it off and he ought to be able to knock this one anywhere he wants after that extra 15 yards with the roughing the kicker this will not be turnable as it sails out of the back of the end zone line gets set first down he's going to pass just masterful working that sideline and getting the toe down for the catch I tell you what that's great execution between the QB and receiver they look like they could execute that throw in their sleep quarterback took his steps threw it on time great route by the receiver nice job securing the catch after that big Gainer to open things up they'll put it in play from the 40 gets it out fast they'll rip off eight on that play it's second and two my old coach said you'll never go broke taking a profit take what's there take the positive yards and never complain after the good pick up on first down let's see if they keep it on the ground one man in the back field and he gets it and a really short game before he gets a whole bunch of company from the defense and a lot of times you want those big plays you want those Splash plays but sometimes you're going to take some losses you're not going to run the football overly well but if you continue to run it you can at least create some balance you at least have the threat of it otherwise you're just going to abandon it and now it's just going to be a passing game they'll try to pick it up on the ground the tarel will have a first down and a nice job dialing up that short yardage situation play call there David they needed one yard they picked up two yeah great job up front great job by the back knowing where they need to go nice having a hole you can get through and not have to just do it all on your own as a running back and the Tar Heels look to keep this drive humming the run from the shotgun makes one man miss and he broke one tackle on the way to a solid pick up there I think tackling is about effort most of the time it's about how much passion how much physicality you can bring to get your guy on the ground refuse not to get him on the ground that's not a big back you got to get that guy on the ground you can't let him pick up an extra couple yards and stay ahead of the sticks out of the gun they'll run it inside bulldozes him just what this offense was looking for sets him up at the 26 with the first down you know as a you can have the right call and the right guy in the right spot but that guy's just too good and how about the running back on that play just making it happen breaking off the huge gain it's tough to get these guys on the ground the tarel will line it up on First and 10 motion from the offense wants to throw on first down off the play fake tight end finds a soft spot he will step out of bounds but not before the big pick up and first down for this offense and that's why play action is going to be big in this game you saw how it just freezed the second level of that defense just for a second and allowed the tight end to work himself vertically down the field but how about this guy after the catch right so hard to bring down what a weapon the give out of the gun and he'll finish the run in the end zone touchdown UNC sometimes we ask coaches about half time adjustments and they go blah blah blah blah blah blah and then sometimes they make some good ones sometimes that blah blah blah blah blah actually works but it's working now but it might be too little too late but at least you got the party started he'll try to tack on one more splits the upright so a well executed 8pl 75 yd drive and it was punctuated by an 11 yd Run for the score about to kick it off after punching it in for the touchdown he'll start the return inside his five he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic but they get him on the ground at the 20 Minnesota has it back and the Gopher offense is headed on to the field into the pile maybe got one he stopped at the [Music] 21 didn't get much on first down it's second and nine the give to the back runs through a tackle now after that run they're in pretty good sh at the 30 yd line this running back just doesn't go down easily it's just difficult for defenses to get him on the ground not overly huge but if I'm an offensive coordinator I'm going to continue to find ways to feature him and just you know what let his talent do the rest ball sitting right at the 30 it'll be third and short they'll try to power their way ahead PS through the defense he's run out of bounds but he's got enough to move the sticks and listen it ain't don't don't fix it I I mean I love teams that commit to the run and when it's successful keep running the rock yeah David I I think this offensive line right now they've got a lather going they're really sort of getting in the groove and flow of this game they're just getting tremendous push at the point of attack it seems like every single time they decide to run the ball he stopped just a chain link or two away from the first down and sets them up beautifully here and I love the idea of getting this guy screen throws because of his ability after the catch so nice job getting down field getting a hat on hat and giving him a tunnel to run through that last completion sets him up on second down on the move it's brosmer he's going for it all catch inside the 25 and he's brought down after a huge completion what a beautiful throw and catch on this play and I love the job the receiver did did tracking the ball in the air nice job of locating the throw and then hauling it in that's the way you get things going a huge play and now attacking from just inside the Red Zone they're threatening to score and they'll throw it grabbed on the outside it's Glenn and they're able to force him out of bounds after a short pick up this quarterback obviously did a lot of prep coming into this one he has been picking this defense apart with that last completion guys he's now got over 300 yard passing second down coming up he'll put the tight end in motion they'll try the Run relying on that running game inside the Red Zone he picked up three to the 11 they'd love to pick up this third down and get a fresh set with first and goal they turn to the passing game on Third and short oh they really could have used that catch there physical pass defense it brings up a fourth down got to give the defense credit on that play taking everything away forcing the incompletion now it's decision time fourth and short and your in field goal range what do you do here they'll play it safe and try for three absolutely perfect and that will extend their lead even further they're really starting to extend that lead as they get ready to kick it away again on the run from inside his Z own five and stampeding through the defense he is Electric in the return game and that one has the offense set up nicely North Carolina has it back in the Tar Hill so pleased to send the offense back out the give to the back he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple so no room to run there and you wonder after that loss on first down where they turn now yeah and that's why it's so important for the defense to win these first downs right you want to create negative plays to make this offense so much more predictable after getting knocked back to open this drive it's second and 12 grab behind the line it's Blackwell and they'll pick up the first down and Mark it at the 47 and that's just a great individual effort by the wide receiver he catches this ball way short of the sticks but because he's able to make the defender Miss now he's able to get the extra yards and turn that into an explosive play the offense will put it in play from the 47 on First and 10 from the gun they'll try to OPP their running game lowers that shoulder delivers the blow he showed it all there a little elusiveness a little power and he's got the first down every offense wants to be able to run the ball and be physical especially on first down and you want to create second and short third and short or just get first downs like that run right there and the tar Hills in the hurry [Applause] up they're getting this guy lathered up picks up the first down still moving and it is a chunk play a huge gain on that one before the defense brings it to an end I tell you what they're down but they're not out with this guy they keep feeding him he keeps having success on the ground maybe I use this now to catapult use some play action make some bigger plays down the field but the Run game has not been the problem today the tarel with the first and 10 [Applause] [Applause] he's looking to throw it he's got it and still on his feet they'll get it down to the8 yd line on that throw and catch and the defense is backed up against the wall nice job by the wide receiver getting open on that slant route against man coverage he fakes like he's going to the outside he's able to create some separation his face and then secures the catch operating in the Red Zone here on second down trying to left side they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one awesome job up front by this defensive line being so good at the point of attack and eating blocks eating some double teams that allows these linebackers to run free unincumbered and get to the football third and long and they can get the first down without scoring a touchdown Johnson looking to throw Let It Go to The End Zone and he's got it touchdown heels this quarterback really does a nice job seeing the field and reading coverage and when you go empty you spread the defense out it's easier to see what the defense is doing ling up to add another and it's up and good they put together a 65 yd drive for the score and they cap things off with a nyd touchdown pass they've got it down to a two touchdown deficit triling by 14 and about to kick it away here he comes from inside his own five he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic that they get him on the ground at the 20 the Minnesota offense is headed back onto the field always good to get points on a drive David but Chip Shot field goals can leave you a little empty and I think it's great to get points but the great teams get touchdowns in the red area you got to get out there this time and execute a little better on this drive you're absolutely right David and generally the best Red Zone offenses are the ones that run the ball the best so let's see if they can be a little bit more physical on this drive they gave themselves room to operate with that first play now first down from the [Applause] 37 the RPO fire complete to the left oh he gave him the dead leg and he found all kinds of room and got it down to the 28 and as a def def how scary is it having to defend this guy he's one of the fastest players in America and you saw it on that last play it's not necessarily throwing him the ball over your head they just get it to him quickly the hard part now is running and tackling that guy not easy to do this offense always looking for those big explosive plays and now they've got it just inside the 30 off the play fake on first down and the quarterback will take a sack back at the 36 play action pass success has a lot to do with selling that fake you could tell defense was not buying it got in the back field got the big play really need to pick up some yardage this time on second and long off the bootleg wants to throw it didn't have much of a choice there but to get rid of it this is a third and long looking down field and he needs a bunch fires to the tight end and not going to make it the defense denying him the first down you got to love that on defense one of the most critical statistics out there is how do you play on third down how do you prevent the opponent from keeping drives alive right there tackling the catch you gave up the completion whoop-de-doo you set up fourth and long you're going to get the ball back go get some water and celebrate and it's right down the Boulevard and now the lead extended a little f that last score just a little icing on the cake in this one as they get set to kick it away again on the move from inside is five he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 the North Carolina offense returns to the field trailing Now by 17 David this is an opportunity that they need to answer and down by 17 it's not panic Mo yet like and the pressure gets him back at the 8 yd line this defense they are tenacious and they've got guys up front that are athletic and that are so strong could the pocket you saw it right there in that play action attemp got some work to do here on second and eight from the 20 got it behind the line it's Jones didn't pick up a lot there moved it Forward just and a great job by the defense seeing it right away reacting to the screen going and getting the football and getting the fast play maker on the ground time winding down in the quarter as they come to the line on Third and long he'll have to turn it loose deep makes the catch it's Jones there to make the tackle and with that we'll head to the fourth quarter that's going to do it for the quarter and Minnesota has the lead here they've built a comfortable lead after three quars of play Let's Take a look at how we got here just about ready to go in the fourth and we'll see if any drama can be mustered down in the fourth quarter it's too late for empty possessions they'll go for it on fourth down makes the grab and he's got the first and he surges up to the 36 yd line and they'll move the chains well the Gamble pays off offensively fourth down being aggressive and they throw for it how about the job the receiver does winning his route and giving his quarterback a place to go with the football and the tarel have it with a first and [Applause] 10 looking to move it through the air he's got his man and a really nice job by the wide receiver you run a drag route find Space they're in zone coverage they're not covering manto man find a little hole QB y'all get them the same page you could tell they were that's why they got the first down that completion leaves us with second and medium Johnson wants to throw it it's complete on the right side he makes the stop at the 48 that'll be enough for a first down and a pick up of 10 and he just continues to put up numbers and that number is now over 300 this guy just throws completions man the ball doesn't seem to touch the ground he's back there he's making the right reads right now he is locked into what this defense is trying to do the aerial assault continues caught they stop him almost immediately short gain there in still a little ground cover pick up the first hey man if you're going to make plays like that on slant throws you got to be able to make catches in traffic good strong hands by the white out there on the slant right on target with that last pass now it's second and medium he's looking to [Applause] throw and that's going to be incomplete a lot of contact on the play but no Flags it'll be third down and the big tight end a lot of times that's a bigger Strike Zone a bigger dude and you could tell they put the hit on him and that ball came out and it came to the turf nice job playing physical by this defense couldn't find his man last time now they'll have to convert third and four on the gun wants to pass finds his tight end the tars brought to the ground but not before picking up the first the tight end always finds a way to get open he's just a first down Machine Jesse and he's he's a guy Reese that is proven he can beat man coverage but he's also so good against zone two he just knows where the soft spots are in the defense that's why this quarterback has so much confidence in they'll throw it on first down fires to the big and he might be known for run fits but that was a sure and heavy tackle on the tight end really good concept there to get things going and use the tight end early yeah I mean just such a great job on first down setting up an easier second down understanding I don't always have to push the ball down the field but see the tight end make the throw no it's not a big gain going for it all snagged In The End Zone touchdown North Carolina man that's a play this kid has been running ever since he was seven years old at the park with his best friend throwing him go routs right down the field I'm running by a guy I'm looking back locating the football making the catch and he does it in a big moment here in this game now they'll line up for what they hope is automatic and with the extra point every little bit counts as they get closer about to kick it away after scoring the touchdown and he takes this from inside the five nice job by the kickoff team everybody stayed in their lanes and they'll stop him at the 16 Minnesota has it back and the Gopher offense is headed onto the field from the shotgun now here's an inside G and he'll pick up the first down after a tough run there it's a point in the game I think as a coaching staff where you really challenge your offensive line to go win the football game right we've got a lead late we're going to run the football and the defense and everybody in the stadium knows that's what's going to happen can we run the ball down their throats and impose our will that's what this offense right now is trying to do at the 40 there he goes and that first Defender was just waving at him after that sweet move he picked up the first down big reason why his team has the lead right now late is because of his performance running the football well over a 100 yards in this game they knew that they were going to have to really put a lot of pressure on him he'd have to shoulder the load and he has delivered for his offense all game long oh he's going to try to hit him deep incomplete and very lucky that one wasn't picked off and man could they have used that it'll be second down oh you're living dangerously now you've got the lead late in the game don't do anything to turn it over they almost did throwing it there if I'm the head coach now I'm thinking man let's just run the ball and the incompletion brings up a second down for this offense from the shotgun they'll run it they almost got a first down there sto the yard short it'll be third down listen you you got to be able to know what play to call and what hole to go through like the line blocks for a certain hole good job getting through the hole getting what was block getting a nice positive gain making your situation really good on the next down after the strong run on second down third down coming do they do it again little touch pass to the receiver [Applause] makes that one pay off and they finally get him down at the 38 it'll be first down these touch passes it's so hard because there's always action off of it right if I fake this pass and I can run it up the gut or I can throw it and I just spread me out and make me defend so many things and you can tell they got on the edge quickly got the big first down they'll give it to the back use that running game to bludgeon forward he's got four down to the 35 at this point of the game the offense has the lead the offensive coordinator knows they want to keep running the football so he's going back he's looking at his playlist he's saying which runs work the best for me in this game what can I lean on right here to make sure we win this one Taylor has it got enough for the first and he found plenty of Running Room on that that one before the defense was finally able to get him down I think you have to like what you see if you're the coaching staff here your offense is on the field and it looks like you got a pretty good drive going and you're just going to try and keep this thing marching keep the clock ticking you've got a really nice lead here late just want to find ways to keep the chains moving they're doing that they're going to go right back to him on first down they'll give him maybe one on the play it's down to the 20 and these defensive tackles just eat people they swallow human beings when you get near them they're so big so strong those guys those running backs coming they just need a m they put one mid on a running back and he usually falls to the ground just because of their sheer mass and strength a little pre-nap eye candy for the defense grabbed in the back field it's Taylor and the defense had that one well covered just a short game there well he made the grab but the doors closed quickly after that and I like this I want to find my running back but man he's got to do a little more damage after the catch I need I need a stiff arm I need a spin move I need something where he can make that guy Miss and can pick up a bunch of yards and maybe get a big play out of it from the shotgun the inside give and gang tackling on this dude is a good idea they needed it but he still got the first down everything going be offenses way they're trying to ice this game late they've got a really nice lead so you just want to run the ball high percent throws and keep the chains moving and they're doing that this has been a beautiful drive to watch offense continues to stay in a nice Rhythm here late into the end zone and he can't quite make the connection as he was trying to pay off this Red Zone [Music] opportunity going to work on second down in the red zone is still some ground to cover to pick up that first down the G to Taylor he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple well the defense finally able to make a play getting a tackle for loss they haven't had many of those today because this running back really has answered the Bell they knew coming in they were going to have to give him the football force feed it to him and let him go to work he's done that well over 100 yards rushing in this game and the defense just has not had the answers consistently for him and the pass rush is effective and they tackle him at the 19 pretty nice as a defense right when you can go nickel put five DBS on the field and not have to Blitz anyone trusting your front four to get the job done on third down and they do it right there getting the sack so on fourth down here here comes the field goal kicker in a huge spot and this one splits the upright and they'll push that lead out a little further after putting up the field goal they're set to kick it [Applause] away and they desperately wanted to attempt a return but decided not to instead they'll take the Touchback they'll throw it on first down that's caught it's black he's there to make the stop but the damage has been done as they pick up the first down on the throwing catch and in this situation late when you need two touchdowns to win the game everything's going to have to be downfield so I like the idea in this two-minute Drive throwing it that way let's keep it going keep our pedal to the metal here they'll snap it from the 39 first and 10 he wants to throw quickly complete and he goes out of bounds after coming up with positive yardage there I think if you're the head coach at this point you're telling your offense doesn't matter what's happened up to this point of the game obviously things haven't gone our way but we have a chance to execute in two-minute situation and give ourselves a chance to win let's go do it one play at a time their last completion has him set up second and short quick completion to the right they make the stop but this passing game does some damage and they move the sticks with the first down and no messing around right now now if you're on offense this is the time where execution has got to be out of Premium you need to hit completions David they need some big plays yeah and you just want to keep pressuring them and keep making them use the clock give them the underneath stuff and again when they drive the football down the field I just can't give up touchdowns field goal at this point is not going to hurt my defense makes it pass to marker and they'll finally get him down after a terrific pickup first down you know you always want to establish the running game how about this offense nothing fancy run the football be physical get a big game and the tar Hills come to the line with a fresh set of downs wide receiver now comes in motion quarterback touch pass on the Jet Sweep and he's brought down after a nice gain it's so important this offense is able to get this guy the ball in space especially on the perimeter of the field I love that last play call because he's able to get outside and use his speed to me that's where this guy is most dangerous all the way down to the 15 yd line it's first down the give to the right he's all the way down to the three showed it all on that run well I know this is an offensive line that has a ton of Pride and they want to come out each and every game and really impos their will on the dline they got just enough push there on that run play to pick up the first first and goal and a great opportunity to slice into this lead the offense showing motion from the tight end trying to get a read on the D keeping it on the ground on first and goal a strong tackle and wrap up from the Junior the Big Fellas coming out the goal line defense he'll run it to the right looking for the goal line he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple and with the stuff there Jesse on second down this little third to midrange you got two downs what are you thinking here maybe getting your quarterback out on the perimeter and giving him a run pass option see if you can get the def defense in a bond and they'll come to the line and try to draw a little bit closer on Third and goal they'll try to blast their way in he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple and there's really no question here after not getting it on that last run Play Down in the fourth quarter fourth down you've got to go you've got to dial up your best play here offensively who is your best matchup oneon-one that can get you this first down keep the drive moving and keep your chances of winning this game alive Johnson looking to throw he wants it all touchdown UNC and the comeback is on well how about that and after that touchdown we might have a finish after all Jesse I love it reys and this team is not quitting yeah they're down on the scoreboard right now but they are clawing and they are scratching their way back in this game they're going to keep going hard until this clock reads all zeros lining up for the Pat and it's up and good as they draw Just a Touch closer they put together a 74 yd touchdown drive and they CA the drive with a foury touchdown pass the kickoff team out there set to boot it away he'll bring it back from inside the spot he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 the Minnesota offense is headed back onto the field coming out on first down with the play fake complete to the right a quick tackle made but he's got ready for the first down I'll be honest man if I had the weapons these guys had offensively I'd be staying aggressive too it's what got him to this point it's why they have the lead here in the fourth quarter take some shots when those opportunities present themselves and this set of downs get started from the 33 first and 10 fast motion from the offense with Jet Sweep pass and they'll wrestle to the ground after a short [Music] gain we reached a two-minute warning in this offense trying to milk this clock and keep time on their side movement from the linebackers trying to mess with the offensive Line's assignments the handoff keep working on that clock what a good run there he has enough for the first down defense uses a timeout quickly trying to get that ball back and preserve time for their offense and the Golden Gophers getting set on First and 10 movement here from the tight end to the ground he's got it again able to SC three yards out of that one somehow it's second and seven timeout called there by the defense desperate to get the ball back and save as much time as possible Taylor has it he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three quick timeout called by the defense stopping the clock to save as much time as possible for their offense on Third and long he has to throw for it safe compl on the screen he is going nowhere stop at the line of scrimmage they tried to set up that screen the problem was David they left a big hole in it for the tackle and just a great job by the defense like that's a fool you play that's a trick you play get you to run up field rush the passer slip it behind you the defense did not bite great play great job stopping him on third down fourth down and the punt team sends it the other way fair catch called for and made North Carolina has it back in the Tar Hill so pleased to send the offense back out there's plenty of time to work with here but they have to be highly efficient in their attack Jesse so it comes down to the quarterback position too Reese don't let the moment get too big play within yourself David because this guy's practiced the situation before no doubt use the sidelines they're your friend I don't have to take deep shots throw beyond the first down marker so I can stop that clock for a little bit and possibly use my timeouts clock is still running and they have to get everybody lined [Applause] up he'll spike the ball to try to save every precious second he can got to get everybody lined up quickly time winding away and they've got to push the ball down the field Johnson wants to throw it he finds a dead spot in the middle and how about that catch and run so dangerous this guy and this is sort of like a pinball machine the numbers keep tick tick ticking up he's closing in on 450 yards yeah Reese and there's no defense for perfect throws and that's what this guy's been delivering all game long you know the coverage hasn't always been awful but this guy just finds a way to thread the needle every second is Meaningful and they save a few of them with the spike offense gets set for second [Applause] down he's looking to throw unloads to the Wi out all kinds of room to throw that one in there and they'll finally catch up to him but not before a big chunk of yardage is picked up well ree you and I were talking about this before the game how is this defense going to be able to deal with all the speed they have offensively you saw them just rip off a big play and Jesse now their head spinning just a little bit give up a big chunk play and it's right back at him double time hustling to the line to stop the clock this offense has a second down play he's looking to throw that pressure got to him and he just had to Chuck it out of bounds it comes down to this now one final play to win it this ball has got to get in the end zone now some way who's going to step up this drive was clicking along but after a couple of misfires threatening to stall out on Third and 10 Johnson looking to throw they're bringing heat and down he goes had a chance to pull one out of the fire and the defense slam the brakes on it and that's going to do it for for for for e e e e for e for e for e e e e for e for for
