Fresno State Vs Michigan Wolverines FULL GAME Highlights Aug 31,2024 | NCAA Men's College Football

one Saturday night we send it down to the third member of our crew Katherine's happy Noah thank you very much well both head coaches in this matchup tonight bring a very unique story for Tim Skipper he was named the interim head coach at his alma mater after Jeff Tedford stepped down in July due to health related concerns now Tedford told me this week he's doing great healthwise he shared a really interesting story from opening weekend in 2017 the Bulldogs were set to face Alabama a national championship Contender and his players were saying coach why do we have to play them well over the next five seasons as head coach Tedford put an emphasis on rebuilding that confidence of his players and he told me this past spring the guys were excited they were pounding on the table and pumped for the opportunity to be the only team who gets to open their season against the national champions the anyone anywhere anytime mentality and for Michigan Chiron Moore takes over as head coach for the Departed Jim Harbaugh with a new position and reloaded roster Moore said this season is about finding his own routine making sure everything is aligned and paying a close attention down to the smallest detail of the program Noah and KT Tim Skipper said to us Chiron Moore is where I want to be I'm in the position he was last year as an interim head coach I want the long-term deal Moore signed a 5-year contract as the head man here in an arbor well the resume starts tonight for Tim Skipper right I mean this is this is a heck of a test for his ball club and the way they view it a heck of an opportunity Michigan won the toss they elected to defer they'll take it in the second half Doan is going to send it away and we are underway the defending champions looking to repeat and start that title defense here number nine in the country on the defensive end game and we did hear that he has a little bit of an ankle and ironically he's not starting this first possession for the Fresno State offense they do up good depth in that backfield Elijah Gilliam the senior is going to be starting on this first play out of the pistol the give and not a whole lot of running room it is going to be tough to run on the interior of this defensive front for Michigan with Kenneth real offseason that he wasn't either in a quarterback competition or the backup coming into the season yeah so he really concentrated on his leadership and his preparation hey he's talented he's got to really get rid of the ball quickly tonight get it to the outside it's Jaylen Moss slipping through he gets leveled nice hit by MRI p in backup roll third down and five Fresno State will go quick no need to huddle certainly now with the country for the first time in college football Keen has it on third down over the middle it's ton intercepted taken away by Zeke Barry Michigan did this better than anybody in the country last year and on the third play of the season the defending champs get one back watch him get a hand up the ball sails a little bit off the hands of his receiver and Zeke Barry comes down with it the route was open the throw was high and the tip resulted in an interception and Todd we have heard nothing but outstanding things about Zeke Barry the patience that he's exhibited to eventually get this spot and now the first look at Davis Warren at quarterback with Donovan Edwards one of the best backs in the country in the back field with him an excellent starting field position for this Michigan offense running behind a brand new offensive line Edwards busted to the outside and he's tripped up from behind by Lockridge a look at the starting lineups delivered by Papa Johns you mentioned it they they lost a lot did Michigan certainly on this offensive end but they still return so much talent and it's headline by number 18 Colston lovy yeah I mean he's the only listed returning starter but a guy like Donovan Edwards who just carried on first down he's had a significant role in this offense since his freshman year he's just the feature guy listed as the starter now the only inexperienced position anywhere on this team is quarterback offensively we'll see how Warren does his first throw of the Season slings it caught who else lovelin a cheat code for a first down in the Red Zone well he was 0 for five throwing it last year had a really good spring game and kind of separated himself in this quarterback battle down the stretch has real arm Talent when I talked to Kurt Camp he said look JJ was a first round draft pick had an incredible year last year Davis Warren may not be as accurate him as him right now but his arm Talent is equal to JJ McCarthy they train with the same quarterback coach out in California for many years and that's a good way to start the game for Davis Warren fresh set of downs zage Morgan on the Jet Sweep this is where he's dangerous with the ball in his hands up the field and a nice gain as he's shoved out of Bounce just shy of a first down but a big block by lovelin and Davis finally gets to the Speedy wide out yeah everybody talks about Coulson Loveland as a receiver but he loves to block he loves the physical aspect of the game y he gets a block on brocka one of the safeties the two best tacklers on this Fresno State Defense are the two safeties Cameron brocka and Dean Clark and that time brocka ended up on his back zage Morgan now wearing that number of zero said he wants to start something with that number after Mikey SRA still really made it famous here in an arbor the last couple of seasons brus in the motion man on second and one and this play is blown Dead first time we'll hear from Jeff cinsky our referee tonight or will we definitely against Michigan before the snap unless there was and they're going to go back it looks like and look at targeting potentially on that last hit at the end of the play take another look this was the the Run by Morgan who stands at just 510 174 he was trying to get towards the sideline let's bring in Terry mcau our rules analyst Terry what do you see here on Jaden Davis lowering the head and with the very top of the helmet and and it certainly certainly does appear to be targeting at this point jry my question is if Morgan doesn't go low at the point of contact is it still going to end up as targeting it it it doesn't matter what the offensive player does the the onus is on the defensive player not to lower his head and lead with the crown we are having trouble with Jeff sarinsky's microphone but they did call that as targeting so Jaden Davis is going to be expunged from this game just 3 minutes in couple plays in boy you hate to see that I mean Terry's right that that's the all right we'll get the explanation from Terry momentarily but Michigan's looking to go quick here hand off Edwards up the gut and he's wrapped up right at the line of scrimmage all right let's go back to Terry all right finish her thought a little chaotic in this first quarter sure no yeah if he lowers his head and leads with the crown and then he makes forceable contact which he clearly does our Graphics is terrific that 6in radius is what they're looking for and if that forcible contact is with that air the hermet helmet it's a targeting foul and they correctly called it on this play all right Terry thank you getting you some work early meanwhile speaking of we expected to see both quarterbacks we already have Alex orgy taking his first snap and this is where he thrives running the football on second and goal BR is in the the motion man or's going to look to throw instead dump it down Edwards wide open TouchDown Michigan everybody in the stadium and everybody on the Fresno State sideline is thinking of course this is going to be a run by Alex orgy instead it's his first career touchdown [Applause] pass they had strength to the outside bredis in motion and this is pass all the way and a nice easy throw to Donovan Edwards who is an excellent receiver out of the back field so Michigan Cashes in on the interception from Barry now Dominic zavada the transfer from Arkansas State adds the extra point first receiving touchdown of the season but the four
