Cade Stover (#8 Ohio State TE) VS Notre Dame 2023 (All Plays)

ining trayon Henderson the running back here on first down play action this is what they do well swing it to abuka and no abuka in motion once again hand it to Henderson good blocking in front and Henderson bursts forward across the 25 the defensive coordinator of Notre Dame have the upper hand Anderson split out wide now back into the back field you've got Marvin Harrison Jr and Benjamin Morrison locked in a prime time match up at the bottom of your screen third and long mcco settles fire stove a first down the transitioned tight end who has shown incredible skill picks up 14 and moves the sticks really nice read by Kyle mcor they showed pressure then they only rushed three and Stover just finds a nice hole in the middle of the Zone they're dropping eight kind of alleviated some of the pressure for himself he's played a little bit more relaxed in the last two weeks they look to go to the air again to the outside it's Stover who breaks a tackle stiff arms another and he Dives forward for another first down Benjamin Morrison couldn't wrap him up and Stover goes the tune of another eight well one of the things that's been a problem for Notre Dame through the first four games is Miss tackles I think that's number 45 now on the season Stover is a strong guy clock down to five Henderson looking for the hole can't find it javante four games Ohio state has been converting less than 50% on Third and short and less than 40% on third down all year here's third and 12 from aord dials it up down the middle of the field in incomplete he was over throwing auka again Xavier Watts was deep in coverage had a break on the football and it's Fourth Down Kyle mcord was kind of Lucky on this one because there was a safety back there over the top abuka is going to work down the middle of the field but you're going to see the safety coming over the top Xavier wats in position so in in essence they double covered Iuka Notre Dame is showing pressure right now you see the linebackers in a mug look that means they come up and cover up the linemen doesn't mean they're going to Blitz but they're showing it mcord feeling the pressure delivers over the middle throw and bu on the slant picks up the first down they did bring pressure but they tried to drop lefou out underneath that route but he just is not quite fast enough to get there and Kyle McCord throws it right in front of crano runs into a wall keeps the legs turning can be just short down extra bodies in there right now Mayan Williams the running back he's got it Williams stop short ball comes out and it's Fourth Down javante Jean Baptist another big play against his former team yeah I mean this is T this is beautiful he's playing inside he's going to fight through a block and get the to the ball carry right behind the line of scrimmage and that is outstanding work by Jean Baptist as the fullback Williams as the the tail back here on Fourth and goal fake it to Williams McCord rolls mcord surveys tipped up incomplete not his name in the books second and short the on the handoff Henderson up and made a nice play there on second down going quick on Third and three mcco lofs complete St again tripped up for a first [Applause] down second time we've seen Ohio State try to go quick on third down and not let Notre Dame get set on defense neither one of these teams are playing with a lot of pace right and even in the first part of the season they both have been averaging about 62 63 offensive plays a game Ohio State doing that in the battle with Harrison play action from aord steps up looking a run slips The Tackle and run Downs second and eight mord back to the air lofs it down the sideline oh moriz their error and got it corrected it ends up resulting at a first down at the Notre Dame 49 hand off Henderson and he wiggles to the 45 M looking for another chunk it's AA again inside the red zone of the detail [Applause] guys mord on first down looking towards the end zone abuka third quarter as they look for one more stand in this second quarter swing it Anderson looking for the edge and he just gets devoured guy in this drive so far he's down wide to the left mord looking End Zone oh nearly intercepted and incomplete CAD over the intended target and DJ Brown had a real chance to take it away well this is double coverage on Stover you've got underneath coverage by watts and then coming over the top DJ Brown they anticipated the throw down the seam perfect coverage by Notre Dame on that third down play who had the 61 yd touchdown on the last drive mord right to Harrison right away the one play that Ohio state had run was the long touchdown by Henderson who stays in there on second down and four got the football Henderson dances and just gets back to the line of scrimmage third and [Applause] four Leah foul on the blue mcord feeling it mord has to get rid of it tipped up in the air oh it's complete hey it's Stover he's still going and they're going to blow this dead Stover came down with a football and we'll see where after the catch his knee was down at the 45 yd line well they brought both inside backers Leah FAL and Bertram and Kyle mcord is got to unload it in the ball kind of flutters out of his hands I think beran hit his arm it flutters up in the air bounces around and Kate Stover somehow is able to come up with the football I think his knee was down when he caught the football 100% and we'll see what they do here on second down with trainum in the back field play clock down to [Applause] five just get it off in time train him on the Run that's up field and he stopped immediately winding down in this third quarter mcord to the air mcord penalties but the because that's the easiest down to get completions for Kyle McCord takes the hand off to abuka McCord on the bootleg just a little push pass it goes to Julian Fleming and a great play by Benjamin Morrison as he finds him undercuts him for barely a gain of one yeah it's a bootleg trying to get mcord out and a quick little completion to Fleming who's coming underneath the formation and a really nice play by B you can feel the energy at Notre Dame Stadium mcord to throw on second down good protection runs out and another completion a tough catch made as Jean Baptist side here's him Marvin's up top mcord over the middle wide open Xavier Johnson with a lot of space will in the Notre Dame territory cam hard tracks him down what a play by the captain Grant student for Ohio State to the tune of 40 yards this is a mistake because this is Morrison coming on a blitz and nobody picks up the middle of the field receiver Xavier Johnson is right there an easy read for Kyle McCord but nobody in coverage behind that Blitz and Notre Dame got burned by busting just get it off in time from mord lofs one towards the sideline Henderson with separation and the flag's going to come in yeah that was JD Bertrand who was in cover and really had no idea where the ball was and ran into the intended receiver see he's out there guarding the running back y from the prev and the speed of Henderson gets by him and then he ends up there and now Ohio State in the Red Zone play action pass for mcord mcord with plenty of time it finally runs out he just Lofts it towards the end zone back to the end zone and incomplete care of the football second and 10 Henderson finds the hole Henderson breaks it tackle and he gets tripped up just shy of the first down picks up nine you know the only thing both defenses have played very well and made their plays but Notre Dame still has had too many missed tackles please reset the game they're lucky that Henderson lost his back third and short has been a problem for Ohio State Henderson the handoff oh I'm not sure he got it javante Jean Baptist the first one to him and he's short yeah they're only converting like 44% so far on third and four or less here's third and one and he doesn't get play clock all the way down to five mord handed off abuka around the edge he is stonewalled Ohio State to save their last timeout they'll start this drive from the 35 Henderson in motion mcord looking to swing it to him and that's going to be incomplete int 10 mord screen over the head and Henderson he had space too because they free released him and there was nobody picking him up but the ball is going to be a little bit high and hard watch right here nobody's there to pick up Henderson it's high and it's behind the Run [Applause] mcord on corks it's complete first down Ohio State to abuka I mean abuka just has such a great feel watch him sit down between Harper and the safety third down convergence today mcord hit as he throws incomplete in the direction of Fleming a good pressure that time time John Baptist in there he's coming from the outside right here he is he's going to get good pressure collapse the [Applause] pocket also jayen in just his fourth game as a starter second and 10 mord throwing the pressure gets rid of H for Stover in a positive game mord steps up and he's hit as he throws it incomplete major press pressure from Notre Dame and JD bertran the captain yeah bertran comes on the blit there's a man to pick him up traven Henderson just doesn't do a good enough job blocking the Blitz and Bertrand is able to get a hit on the quarterback right as he's releasing the football looks like bracket coverage on Marvin down here on the right mcord steps up over the middle first down Julian Fleming with the extra extension how about that Julian Fleming very quiet Crossing route working on the nickel back top Stover's open nearly intercepted oh boy he's so lucky Stover was wide open the pass was late and DJ Brown almost intercepted it watch DJ Brown read this and come right in front of the intended receiver and not able to catch the football Stover was open for a moment and then DJ Brown could all [Applause] night mcord to throw on second down another completion dive and grab from Harrison but he makes a great catch mcco looking towards the end zone oh broken [Applause] up mcord hit mcord keeps the football lets it loose and he throws it away great penetration Again by Botello yeah this shows some strength by Kyle mcco too I mean he's able to get rid of this football they're going to talk about whether it was intentional grounding but I think there were receivers in the area he three-man Rush mcord floats it in zone caught short a mcord rolls fires incomplete Harrison the intent to be alert for a run here as the last play of the game give it to him train him up the middle he's in touchdown Ohio State they W it off at Notre Dame stadium they will look at it they have to look at it well first of all gutsy call calling the run all the Defenders on that side Trum runs back to the left Notre Dame did not
