Montana State vs New Mexico 4th-Qtr Game Highlights Week 1 Aug 24, 2024 | NCAA 2024 | NCAA Football

fourth look out 22 Scott Trey Humphrey bolts ahead for five to the 15 something we've not touched on in depth is the fact that mot is being asked to do so much more he was part there you see last year's co-starter Shawn Chambers he's now an offensive analyst right there in the middle and he could run the ball but throw it maybe a little better than mot yeah and now they're trying to protect him some I think I his back up exactly they got a 66 drop back passer as the backup quarterback so they're hoping that their run game and their short passing game can relieve some of the pressure but boy they could use Shawn Chambers right about now yeah but and and the thing is it's a lot of that but it's also New Mexico defensively has essentially taken mot out of the Run game because in those read opportunities okay they crash the defensive end but they send another guy right so the defensive end can go get the running back but they also have somebody for the quarterback so he has to give the football so they're forcing a give but they have somebody for the running back as well they're three out of eight on third down conversions these next two plays Will dictate the rest of the way this game will play out out of the gun High snap the Lots in trouble got a break though what a block he got from Adam Jones and he takes it in for the touchdown what an ad lip job and what a late block from number 23 Adam Jones he was backing up a bit because of the high snap Jones very wisely used his body as a shield number 23 take a look not only Adam Jones five rushing yards five rushing touchdowns a year ago he's got lead is 10 for New Mexico after a tremendous Drive culminating with a 14 yd touchdown Scamper by Tommy mot let's go down to Josh Sims well Tim when I caught up with Bronco menen Hall at half time he said there was no message it was all about corrections that need to be made namely on the ground he said we got to get things going on the ground for us on offense we saw that in the third quarter and on defense we need to shut down Scot Trey Humphrey who was going off well we saw two big stops on those first two drives from Montana State but then things seemed to change when that Windstorm came in let's see if they can get back on track in this fourth quarter starting with that off Sid when you think about it right Josh trouble and turn four C I know you love him on NASCAR Sanders play fake to him pass caught by weong and he's got it to the 33 John Johnson with an eight- yd pickup second down and two regardless of the outcome of this game Devon dampier has made a Believer out of these fans here in Albuquerque as as he has Us in the booth oh no no no he didn't have to do that for me I knew it he did I believed it you did byong with six grabs for 90 and inside look at that pops free for Rogers and you can see they're kind of leaning into that right now to get that running game going Rogers Remains the setb here they come the other way with Jacobs and the Jet Sweep action ahead for just a yard by the way I think it's one of the best new words for football analysts sifting oh yeah yeah sift through yeah sifting through you can see Kayon Doo there sifting through to put that shoulder on the ankle and get the runner to the ground second down and nine Rogers rangs The setb Damp here with time looking deep weong marker down pass was underthrown weong knew it that's what of those consument defensive backs are in Peril whenever that happen [Applause] now nothing but good has happened out of this formation nari Rogers this time stopped for a short gain by m fil in week zero with a tough Mountain West schedule ahead Rogers forward progress will get him the 23 before being pushed back you think coach Brennan the new head coach at Arizona who's got them next looks for a play late substitution they just clear a 12 man and I think we may have a late timeout taking New Mexico New Mexico their second of the half let's see what happens on third down Montana State answers the call Eli Sanders has popped Danny ulul Koopa ULU missed one earlier 47 is his longest this time it's no good wide left and that swirling wind had something well you talked about it New Mexico still has to learn how to win last two drives they come up empty Jones Adam Jones gets ahead for eight Christian Ellis The Tackle and when they get six or more on first down they're in business 100% And I've been very impressed with the way they've been able to run the ball but I've also been very impressed with Mexico's defense and their tackling in the open field because a lot of these plays could be huge touchdown runs and they're being stopped by good open field tackling from the secondary players Jones remains in the backfield Brian laan he's only made one big catch today he Ed more as a blocker and they're going to get the first down on that run by Adam if you're them right now no no no the two-minute timeout yeah and a timeout that's right two-minute timeout that's right yes sir yes sir or is they [Applause] would hrey now in the back field mot pulls it down and takes it up to about the 40 to the 4 124 [Applause] yds Humphrey only a couple they'll get him two and the line to gain will be the 46 yd line so third he has an opportunity with zero coverage from New Mexico oh they tried to cross him up with a running play which tells you they're going on fourth down obviously Ellis coming up along with take a fourth down conversion for this game to remain in Peril they're 0 for two on Fourth Downs today fourth and three Blitz off the corner favorite for those of you uh who keep up with such things that was a shocking number it opened at 4 and 1/2 it ballooned at 13 and 1/2 let's go back to the fourth down play here Deon yeah when we say zero coverage we mean no safety back why is it no safety back because the safety stack behind a blitzing Defender you have to know safety stack you're going to get pressure they execute it to Perfection and and the thing that made it very possible is AER being in a position to play the receiver and but that was really a must drive you had to think ahead goes Eli Sanders Eli Sanders more on this Montana State team largest spread by the way for an FCS team over an FBS team in 15 years first FCS team to be double digit favorites over an FBS team since 2013 and they'd not beaten an FBS team since 20 6 by the way okay it's he's going to throw throw it and it's dropped wow it was right there for weang went right through his hands no one clatt there you go Brady Quinn quarterbacks y That's in common I think I've heard that a few times before this stat has to be changed baby all right Rodriguez will punt it away he's had a great day this will be a coffin corner punt little end over Ender right to tro to set them back inside the 10 yd line and that's where Montana state will have to roll from with 512 left they need a dynamic Play Riding horseback running the ranch we're talking 70 acres in Montana gave that up to come here Here Comes mot that will be a horse collar at the nine I can call that one from up here Noah ainger just reaching that time and so we can tack on a few more yards here Christian Ellis is a quarterback and like you said kby said if you have a quarterback you just have a chance wow Adam Jones no one was there on the left side it is a race to the Finish touchdown Bob Cats hello how do you do [Applause] extra point is good we have a running game we've talked about it and we may be seeing the team that is in the FCS title game again they were in it three years ago could have been in it last year out to Nebraska and Lincoln on Saturday you and I will spend our Friday at Camp Randle little Jump Around huh Madison Wisconsin little Jump Around analyst beware when you're in the booth with Brando see him back in that Battleship yeah Rogers bounces outside nakari Rogers running away from M O'Reilly who's played big [Music] today Spencer's working with Eric Collins this year we look forward to seeing them together they'll be at Iowa State next week Eli Sanders grabbed behind the line of scrimmage by Andrew poil number one out of the Woodlands Texas not far from Houston for Brock Bronco mindal how huge is winning this game I mean it you're setting the narrative for your entire season for the start of it Sanders Burrows ahead past the 40 to the 42 and it's on touchdown Gallop for Adam Jones is what put New Mexico in this position in need of a first down with 215 left Montana State struggle with that combination down at the bottom of your screen Dan Pierce pass dropped time New Mexico just hasn't had them on the offensive end or on the defensive end and now you're going to get the ball back to Tommy mot with a Chance Ryan driver to dor he can run it back he's outstanding in that area and he gives him quality field position out to the 33 so a on a kick from anywhere outside 35 yds now they got to go a long way to get in position to tie this game mot's pass is complete to lanatta Alexander Adam Jones in the back field if you're New Mexico I know you've allowed the passes to be completed on the outside but you might want to choke up so they can't just chop you all the way down the field one timeout left Rohan Jones Jones pass the 30 to the 32 147 of is left it's too easy you know that they're going to throw the ball you know the type of passing game they're leaning on the short passing game you've got to choke up on those wide receivers is going to be de by a Thousand Cuts all the way down into field goal range so after a gain of 16 meot again over the middle tipped almost picked on the Tip Drill Alexander into the end zone second and 10 pass is thrown behind Mulla look like a mix up on the route McCulla was running a curl they go empty five wides mot lets it Fly he's got a wide open receiver Alexander flag is down Alexander is down at the 30 will check the marker it's going to be on the defense you're going to get a holding in the middle of the field and that play is going to standing they're just outside of where they're comfortable kicking a field goal 37 start on the snap it's going to be right there in middle of field the contact is created by the wide receiver but when you wrap those arms around similar to Allon lineman with a defensive lineman running at him you and you take them down is going to be a penalty every single time Dominic Tatum the safety 39 the guilty party and now they're getting dangerously close to field goal range they' like to get to the 20 for sandstead Jones out route complete to Alexander again we touched on him second down and five Adam Jones who had the 93 yd Scamper behind him stays into block Mal running out of time he's got Jones flushed out first down Adam Jones who dispersed from that back what a huge moment for the kid from but Montana Tommy malok coming today just a passer here another one thrown out and another scoop by D beautiful catch bounce there it did bounce they're going to rule it in a lot of space here in the middle of the field second and 10 Jones almost broke free he is slippery isn't he and six zero coverage trips to the bottom of your screen malot over the middle it's caught it's Mulla
