[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and we are live welcome in Bleacher Report we're here to play college football 25 I'm one of your hosts Blake rafino alongside me always my great Co co-host Joe Deon we we finally made it D oh my god dude we finally made it a decades long worth of waiting and we're here you and I were just saying this a second go it not only have we been waiting this whole time not only did in the past 10 years did I buy a Modded Xbox to play college football revamped but you and I are playing together we're doing it in this amazing studio in New York City and we get to be not some of the first people to play the game because some people played it over the weekend those lucky folks got to play it but uh we're going to get to show everybody what this game is I I'm I don't even know if I can fully wrap my head around what's about to happen well the the the chat's already live dude they're like we' made it we're finally here I feel like the rock I wanted to come out and be like the Rock and say finally we are here we are live by the way beautiful Manhattan New York fantastic I beautiful might be a little generous it's 95 degrees out that might be a little this guy this this guy over here but look man this is going to be awesome Joe I I said this this week and people say because I'm just living in the moment I I don't really know but I think that this could go down as the best video game ever because when you take something away from people and then you give it back to them like and then everything that's in today's college football think about this nil would not be a thing without the college football video game which it started off with the Edo Bandon case and now we're here finally and we're going to play with real players could you imagine today we'll be up we've talked about Ohio State so much you'll be Ohio State I'll be Georgia how awesome it's going to be to to to play with these teams with real players and I I think that what's really important I think with this this game coming out for anyone who's going to jump and and criticize and be like all critical if there's some bugs and everything's not super clean like I I I don't know how any anyone can be that ungrateful it took so long for it to come back there are going to be issues like there there's probably going to be a couple hiccups that need to get fixed and maybe we'll encounter one on the stream here or there but the more important thing and the thing that like I've got friends who aren't as into college football as I am but used to play the old games and they'd say to me like oh what if what if the game stinks what if it's not not that good if I can play Dynasty mode if I can play Road to Glory which they were very detailed in making it better and making it same as long as those things are in the game and it plays like Madden on the field which it's better it looks better than what Madden was in the the the demos that we've seen as long as it has those things I find it very hard to believe uh that it would be a bad game and that it would maybe not live up to our expectations but dude this this is going to be so momentous um I'm worried about all the time and sleep I'm going to waste over the next week I already tried to bail on you tonight you're like let's get pizza after this and I said I'm going back to my place I mean we're in live in New York it's Saturday night like it's you know SNY and you want to go back and play but look I I I think you're right like even you know our fans know like me being an LSU guy you rooting for Notre Dame like when LSU comes in and has a third down stop and everybody's doing the chant you know we'll go to Ohio State today when you're dotting that eye you know I like I look in the chat like Georgia sports fan here says okay we finally made it I mean we got about 12 minutes here but it's it's going to be absolutely I think uh I think our our our friend Jason who's managing the chat says he's got a a meme that he wants to uh show everybody in the show The M what do we got here 20 minutes away hey is this the meme where USC no this is the one where USC got their asses absolutely disol by Alabama yeah wait hold on that's not the right gift yall should using that one that means you're showing up first game and you're going to get smoked yeah that's not going to be me that's going to be Joe no it's okay that is going to be I'm much calmer than you are man me too all right this one it's here after 10 years we finally returned to the world of college football in a video game look this was the best one yet EA Sports coming out with today is going to be a movie with the the patented here we go I I mean look 11 minutes and Counting it's going to be an absolute just fun event um beg my mother to take me to Walmart after my teacher gave me a $50 gift card to get the game Legend 2 oh that was when they were when they got the first one finally getting to re relive part of my childhood that's I mean that's great I think that's the biggest part well you know he it brings it up here too think about this Joe people became big- time college football fans because of the exposure the video game you like gave and so you know I I forget who put this out today but somebody tweeted this out I think it might have been cryst a VN or somebody was like dude think of the exposure that's about to happen with all of this I think that's absolutely a fantastic thing right here that this person said uh C said happy girlfriends lose their man on college football 25 day to those who celebrate there's no true thing I I mean Joe think about the conversation that I had with my wife like hey I'm going to New York it's on your birthday on my birthday by the way for the biggest college football game of all time of all time oh that is that is really funny yeah I've kind of my girlfriend over she doesn't know I don't know why she doesn't know exactly when the game comes out but she keeps the past four days she keeps texting me are you playing the game yet are you playing the game yet cuz she knows I'm going to be ude unresponsive but but look I I think it's funny though like our wives or girlfriends that you know a decade ago they didn't know about this and now they're being even like implemented into this you know what something Joe that that that I I I saw or or I just think about it's just like you know a lot we talk about college sports all the time and and and a lot of times on our show rafino and Joe show we talk about all the changes that happened but this one is probably the biggest positive right like it's it because the just everybody that wants to play everybody that's been talking about it it it's got to be one of the biggest things of not just this off season Joe I could I can make the argument since 2020 when nil was enacted this has got to be some of the biggest news yeah yeah who who's the who's the first team you're playing with Dynasty mode did you figure that out oh LSU bro Dynasty mode no no are you kidding me you're one of those people listen to me listen to me you have no idea what it's been like for the past decade since Sabin has been at Bama and not being able to take out my frustration you and I can't be friends like I'm being a dead ass right now you're you're all right LSU yes yes you might as well boot up with Georgia you kid think about this hold on think about this two Heisman Trophy winners came through Baton Rouge fan of L I can't even play with well no D would have no idea I'm not playing with today why would I play with today because you didn't have Heisman Trophy winners you wouldn't understand what it's like to be there dud root to Glory with LSU don't do well you know what you don't know what it's like to be there as all we got we have a question we got to stop yelling at each other for two seconds um who best dude did you see the drop of Penn State the the the the P State drop is pretty cool like look at this one from uh uh uh Florida state with Tallahassee putting the spear at 50 yard line that one is absolutely sick well I'm going to be biased here the Notre Dame one the way here he goes no seriously seriously seriously the way that they perfectly recreated the sign yeah this play Like A Champion today play Like A Champion slap the sign on the way out and then head dud you can't tell me look at this that Pinn State one is sick imagine doing a white out with Penn State dude see I wonder I doubt it but I wonder if there's a they should make it so that you can set that that like or maybe all the night games are white outs I I mean maybe that's how they I don't know but that one's sick I like the Auburn one too Auburn does have the the eagle that flies in and you know what's even sicker I don't know I Ohio State's got a fantastic interest you know we talked about this just a minute ago the dott of the eye is a big deal I mean look man they come out Lo locked arms I mean dude it's sick I I I think pin State though for me he got the the the P coming out of the gate I mean that that one's absolutely insane yeah the the Penn State one I think you can't you can't um you can't recreate anywhere else I'm I'm just trying to think that like who just generally off the top of our heads minus from the clips that we've seen who's got a really unique the Clemson one I bet pretty cool too going I was just about to say that going down Howard's Rock here's one that I I doubt that they did in the video game think if you're an Iowa Hawkeye fan with the hospital that sits right behind I wonder if they put that in that's a really question I wonder if they put that in there because you know right before the pregame that's technically not their entrance though is it I I I it's not necessarily their entr they go to the sideline you know they do their little their little tribute uh that's going to be that's going to be interesting um any more comments down here uh Michigan is built uh I missed that maybe different s minutes yeah s minutes we got 650 on the on our screen here uh Tennessee coming out uh the power T is going to be awesome um yeah the Tennessee you could you imagine and Josh eel's offense on this game and the hurry up to De did did you see some of the uh some of the clips that or some of the pictures of what the Playbook looks like I did that well like the and I'm really interested to see this because look I might not have the most experience with it because of you know being with Georgia could you imagine the RPO game that's going on in this I mean the RPO game in just in general is going to be absolutely insane so look man we we we'll see we'll see yeah I I'm I when you put play man do you run a lot of rpos uh not really not really BR says this might be our guy here says let's take a look at what's happened since 2013 it's wild let's go ahead and take a look Joe at at what we've missed throughout the last decade here what's happened since NCAA 14 top songs Blurred Lines Robin Thick get lucky da Punk We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus Can't Hold Us from memore look at the top movies dude Long Ranger that was a good one the heat Despicable Me too and four one now I think we're on the fourth I mean you got kids you would know more than I I mean I would my kids love the minions so you know despicable Me's got to be up there uh also you want to read this one off Joe uh momes wasn't at Texas Tech yet LeBron went back to back with FL Super Bowl Flaco in a Super Bowl MVP uh Serena won the US Open and then Messi zero International trophies man that is wild to put into context all the well the m one makes a little more sense cuz like he was he was so but think about LeBron though I mean LeBron I mean the LeBron one's even is even more crazy because think about like he had already gone he was starting to go with the heat like he had gone that was like right at the beginning that was before he ended up with the Cavs it was before he ended up with the no he remember that that was that summer or a couple Summers after remember they lost to Dallas then they won okay so he only had one championship this EXA how deep in you would probably remember better than I would cuz I was a little bit younger than you were how deep were we into the Alabama Dynasty how how many oh Nick already started winning 2012 he backed he backed it up in in 2011 and 2012 right and then if I'm not mistaken they won one in the in 14 I I don't have it in front of me I I forgive me but he was I mean he was four natties in total I mean LSU two at B I mean the dynasty but how about this guess I'm going to give you a trivia who was his coordinator during this during this time when we were still playing the video game I'll give you a hint yeah give me he he he this coach wasn't Sark Sark was was this coach stayed in the SEC or came back to the SEC but got fired at his school came back to the offensive coordinator offensive coordinator also won the East twice in the SEC dullen no no Dam wasn't uh mang I always forget that m was the head coach so think about this m Wayne was still like in the mix of college football coaches when this was like a decade ago yeah I forgot I wonder what he's doing now but I always forget that he was no you remember it was the whole Michigan thing remember Central uh uh Conor stallions yeah Conor stallions was on the sidelines for Central Michigan doesn't look like we've got any more uh any more messages from our our friend uh Jason who's operating the uh he did say I hope some meme Joe and Blake let me show them U that was that was earlier oh that was earlier okay okay well we got three minutes Joe any final thoughts before we get we get to this video game this this feels like the longest three minutes of my life can I be honest with you I like I'm just excited I'm just excited because we're going to be able to play this and you're going down dude I and I said this to you beforehand I'm really curious on I'm really curious how this game is going to map out because it's not like you're one of my buddies who I've been playing all the time that like I know how good you're going to be I used to play Shawn who who I brought with me he was my roommate in college uh I used to play him all the time and we would we would you know pick one off of one another each time never really was any blowouts but there were some guys that I played with in college that were I played football with that that you know kicked the crap out of me I'm kind of curious how good you are I think I've got a curve because I'm younger and I grew up playing games video games Jo let me you got to understand this you came into the game when I've been playing for a decade yeah but this this game has changed though let me let me tell this is really different I'm going even tell you my first play atana is going to the house so since I'm Georgia okay I'm going to do I'm not going to tell you the exact play but just know Travis atn's getting the first Carry what if I came out with a trick P yeah well you better not call you better not call like a draw or not a you better not call play action or something like that I'm going to you get yelled at or something uh no no no no no no it's sry uh Justin with Bleacher Report would just sent me something so no but we got a minute we're about a minute in any comments that that are in here that you want to that we should read before we get rolling I feel like the ones on the bottom aren't populating is um as much as feel like they're not showing up on here am I crazy I don't know uh I don't know if we've got anyone else who's who's hopping here we haven't we haven't decided if uh no what did he say he said react and then popped up or something if I click on them is he saying they'll pop up yeah I'm not sure oh oh there we go there we go there updated all right we got any we got some lets go we got one minute yeah everybody in the chat let us know uh who we're playing with first what's the first thing that we're doing yeah what's everybody in the chat doing first what is everybody going to do in the chat first I I mean Joe if we weren't here what would be the first thing that you were doing I'm going to Dynasty mode as soon as I get back to my apartment tonight I'm going to Dynasty mode that's the very first thing that I yeah I I would agree I mean you got to go Dynasty I I I I did think that I might go to Road of Glory though I feel like Road of Glory is so like I love Road of Glory Road of glory is always like a pallet cleanser for me that's what you said you can't say something like that and think that we're not I mean it's I like how beforehand I said yeah hey let's be appropriate today I mean in our stream whatever I don't think all right okay I think my AFP is broken by I don't think this is I keep my is did you did you say something to you I can't mine's like just keeps giving me like a fuzz and that's it I got a fuzz too here we go dude here we go oh do frostbite on the bottom left it's the here we go dude holy [ __ ] holy [ __ ] don't say don't I don't know if

sick that they got they got Beck and like just all those small details of like the old all right so I got to everybody I got to do a settings uh fix here yeah you should be able to just go over to what volume control yeah uh turn off the master volume oh man should I turn all this off probably yeah okay we got to okay master volume up and if if and go to music and turn the music all the way down uh yeah music I can leave the the rest of it on right okay all right back think oh yeah I'm going turn yeah we got to turn the commentary back on I mean because dude we got some seriously good commentary in this game I mean no one's going to be able to hear it um you I'm Andro for your favorite team no it's not our favorite team we just picked it ridiculous but you just had to pick someone well I wanted to pick someone you had to pick someone in Louisiana you just yeah that was why that was what I did okay so dude let's go look at some of these uh some of these features here yeah I want

like oh so we've been talking about uh realignment and the first thing that you want to do is realign I wonder how many what's the maximum amount of teams that I can put oh you look go back go back to that what did you see that you can change your number of conference games inside the league you can yeah look see look number of conference games you can change ho you do all 12 dude that's sick uh all right I want why don't you just go ahead and put Florida State North Carolina in the SEC well I'm just messing around like seeing what like it's the same way as the old game where if you wanted to move you just kind of clicked in and moved them uh let's hit Advance see what the the Pick A Team mode looks like and all that stuff all right so oh it's in just an alphabetical order like normal yeah but they used to do they used to do it where if you like you could pick based on the star rating and it's kind of interesting the way that they oh damn they did they did Yukon UK's not that bad yukon's got one star Toledo's a great team they're a one and a half I like your rating when you came out yeah yeah yeah USF should be a should be a higher higher rating I was a four star Long Snapper

I'm talking about that is what I am talking about baby Georgia in for six you talked all that [ __ ] I'm literally trying to figure out what the buttons are I don't have a h i play on Xbox I don't know what any buttons are oh so it's I play Xbox now uh-huh yeah uh-huh sure sure I think I figured out this kicking thing you got to hold it yeah you got you got you got you got to hold it down after you hit it you got to yep here you go all right let's go you better get yourself on the board here Joe you got to get yourself on the board all right shut up shut up uh to get a feel for with this

you didn't say that oh you're just doing coaching oh you why would I go against Kirby's uh I'm not going against Kirby here get him baby oh good oh good good good oh go go oh damn it I almost got you down the back field there I should not have sent the heat I should not have sent the heat my players just running into one another yeah CU you stink all right you playing for real now we're playing for real okay got third and inches key third down here what's Joe going to do feel like I feel like I got to I I got to in the heat but then I got to I feel like I shouldn't backing up those safeties aho I don't know why Judkins isn't in [Applause] wait I think I think that's triv am I crazy that's triv on henders oh I'm not sure yeah I want oh no it is no is for some oh you know what it's always this dumb thing where uh the third down running back there you go is different from the yeah I want Judkins in sorry [Applause] trayon ready all right we got to make a red zone stop here oh you ran right into my block you ran right into my block [Applause] the the problem is and I'm probably going to get cooked for saying this in the chat but like I'm used to the x button being on a different spot so I see X and I'm pushing the wrong the wrong button sure that's the excuse you want to make get him get him get him get him get him big third down here let's go baby looks like Chip Kelly's not working out so far against Kirby [Applause] no no yes baby yes fourth down what you GNA do what you do I don't know if I trust this kicker all right big fourth down here big big big fourth down I love this this air raid Playbook it's kind of it's kind of dumbed down from the original one yeah the other the original one in in NCA play 14 was like was super easy to use well you you had really I mean In fairness you haven't really uh used it enough either what do you mean I mean this the first time that you've used this Playbook well the this version of The Playbook yeah go no suck [Laughter] it on the board not happening all right I'm totally going to miss this Jesus that's just not happening again oh no they made this they made the kicking too hard man way too hard you're just going to have to figure out as a former specialist kicking is not this hard oh yeah we got to stop skipping the animations take you don't want that smoke all right we got to get back on the board here there we go baby oh no I was down I was down that ball give me that ball down no we're challenging that I was down I was down we got to challenge this play probably in cach oh there you go I was down no way I was

was down Joseph I was down I don't know why I thought that that was going to give it to me look how the ref just like comes in I don't ever remember that I'm trying to figure out how you there's a way I don't know what buttons it is where you um [Applause] dude a lot of these are a lot of what you see in the look at the pulse meter I can't see my play though oh get smoked is that Ty Williams I think that might have been Williams all right fourth down here third down here I got to make something happen let's go baby God I wish I got that f oh oh that Caleb all right we got a [Applause] punt oh you boo that oh it hitting it hit him oh you got so lucky [Applause] dude you got so lucky oh looking his play yeah they they Bare Bones the air [Applause] raid get him yes sir I'll take that I'll take that all day [Applause] long ready [Applause] black get him get him oh dude that's so unrealistic that is so unrealistic complaint a little more uh how do I miss a tackle that bad all right oh how was I all sides no [Applause] way I don't think I was outsides there all right it's going to be the end of the first quarter yeah it's not skipping this I'm not pressing anything I know that's me I I hate it a cou yeah I'm not pressing anything anyone anyone saying what we're saying anyone making fun of us disrespect their parents people making people making fun of us for or making fun of me for talking about xbx just like in real life people are all my side oh God yeah we got to remember at half timee to go look at the uh settings and stuff get him baby there we go there we go tried to cut back time time there you know what's crazy we both try to kind of establish Run games here we're neither one of us have been able to run I'm kind of curious if uh if that's going to be a common common theme yeah a common thing just in the game in general catch it a yeah he got it it's going to be a first down yeah I'm a I don't care you can talk as much smack as you want but I am at such a disadvantage like I'm literally like have to check okay which button is which who's going to oh yeah you're just saying it's cuz You' been oh a touch am I not in oh come on I know one thing for one thing is for dang sure if you do not protect the middle of the field in this game is going to wide open all day long I mean that's why I keep throwing it to the middle of the oh my bad my bad my bad yeah you're such a cheater You're such I press the X I pressed the tackle button oh you're such a cheater I can't believe you just did that it was an accident it was an accident it was so an accid you I don't believe you yeah getting back baby third and goal what's he going to do all right big stop here dogs big stop here let's go will Howard let's go no one likes shut up I'm probably going to miss this though see I don't understand that the meter fills up and you release it and then it's like 34 way down I don't know I don't know we're going to have to figure that out yeah I tweeted about that this morning I was like if if I lose cuz of like a like I've got a weird feeling that let it go now let it go now I'm going to I'm going to lose to you so you just let it go like way before I have a feeling though I'm going to lose to in like overtime cuz I miss a kick or something are they going to give us overtime yeah we're we're on until 5 I we're not we're not going to we got plenty of time it's not 4:30 yeah [Applause] Oh No Way Lake all right we're going to have to figure something out [Applause] here see I'm try what I'm just trying to figure out though there is I need you to put that down all there's a way for me why is it my Stadium pulse higher cuz I just scored there's a way to show all right like like fake coverages and it's not like I don't know what button you're supposed to push to to do [Applause] that stick oh get out of bounds let's go all right we got to go for it here I don't believe [Applause] you are you going for it yeah I'm going for it all right my favorite play here even though you're oh no there we go baby there we go there we go Travis ATM here we go baby look said how big the hits are blow him off the ball blow him off the ball baby here we go no another conventional five [Applause] yards oh UT's uh he's gas we just not going to block here I mean you just came I don't even know what play I picked you just came completely unblocked I don't even know what play I picked get him oh no oh oh pick that Pi that all right now you better punt no way we got to go for it here Joe you the [Applause] worst Big Time fourth down Big Time fourth down we got it baby we got it let's go rah rah Thomas first down all right I need every Advantage I can get yeah we got out you're not catching that over over Caleb Downs dude [Applause] he's got to catch that Joe you know [Music] that get him all right another big time third down here another big time third [Applause] down got two minutes left [Applause] until half time what the Chad saying Travis over the middle baby here we go first down conventional baby conventional all right we're going a little old school here Joe you ready for this oh get smoked get [Applause] smoked what are you doing 80 ready Travis ET or not Trevor et's out oh no I was there damn it I think I got picked up by your pulling uh SC [Applause] all right here we go another crucial third down here oh oh what is he doing you overthrew it you have to T time it what was he doing of course you're going for it again bro I swear to God if you convert on me one more time all right we got to go for it here we got to go for [Applause] it what are we doing all right do I try to so unrealistic do I just try to get out of here before half time with the lead although you get the ball at half [Music] no you're going for it I can tell what in the world is going [Applause] on wasting time right now play time out [Music] oh no house [Applause] no oh crap how do you call the timeout um the center button this well that's not wait what is it oh you tap the I'm just going to do manually I'm probably blowing everyone's ears out what the yelling that I'm doing uh so unrealistic so unrealistic didn't let me celebrate all right well how I I got 44 seconds to go down and score and then get the ball back oh no we missed this we totally oh okay all right we're good all right 217 at half time or or 44 seconds left to go all right I got to go down and score I can't be playing around here you know this could be a uh pre a matchup to a prequel to National Championship yeah but I think it's going to be a lot closer [Applause] [Music] though hey the game's not over with you the game's not over with you C it's it's getting there are you sure why is the stadium pulse that low it should be so much higher oh pick [Applause] he's got to catch that dude I mean it's right this Greg bastard yeah he's got to catch that what was that oh that was like the abilities [Applause] T we're going for it Joe oh you come on don't go for it we're going for it oh my God you're such a hack you're such a hack oh I'm going to be up 28 nothing why would you do [Applause] that let's go touchdown what all right down sit down that's what you get that is what you I tried to use her the corner and I'm whipped W that is what you get baby oh no I missed yes oh my God I'm just going to how do I miss that I'm going to milk the clock in the second and a half God that would be so lame if I did that but I think I might actually I think it was kind of unrealistic too because Carson Beck got hit I'm such a dummy I tried to I tried to user the um I tried to user to the Denzel Burke and I tried to I should have never I should have never uh I should have been paying attention on that field goal on that extra point yeah cuz like now I just need to kind of slow the game down a little bit and then uh all right we're probably you going to run this in a halftime yeah all [Applause] right all right let's go here let's go here Joe all right that's going to be probably be half time here what are your thoughts on the uh what are your thoughts here the so we got a half time up yeah let's see what this looks like first it's pretty even pretty even pretty even it's the uh I guess there's no like real comment look at Discover up there pretty pretty uh pretty hefty there here's some replays here I wonder if this is going to be the long bomb here going be oh no this is where I smoked you no it was it's a long bomb watch look at Bale oh my gosh what a beautiful touchdown the thing that bugs me is I I I user Burke and he just stopped moving what like that is oh yeah like why did he stop moving he should have kept going um let's pause it here what are your thoughts on the first half here yeah um I I the passing is less daunting than I thought it was going to be like it just kind of takes like a little bit of like flow of using it running is tough if the the thing that's a little odd and I'm not like giving it a hard time but the thing with running the ball it feels like it's very Boomer bust which I don't totally love like I feel like there should be a way to kind of grind it out then maybe leak your way through a rushing it feels like if you do a really good job lining up pre- snap which you've done a couple times you've like really I've watched you adjust your D line and take away those rushing Lanes it's like impossible to run in those situations yeah and I checked out one of the times well I I mean we but the thing is too here we got to think about too you got both really good defensive lines okay the de like in realistic nature though it's not going to be easy to run on either one of these teams right so I mean like yes you that's true I I I think for me it's just like I have not we have not played this so like the kicking was a kind of kind of The Kicking It was kind of difficult to figure it out there for for a second I still don't think I have it figured out but I I love all the things that are inside the game though you know like all the like Hy like think about it on third down we've had multiple third Downs here and the B I mean like that that is so awesome so like those are the Small Things anything else you want to add to this before I I guess we kind of get kind of kick back off no I think I'm ready to actually go down to celebrations I want to see how you do some of these celebration that's supposed to be a big deal uh with the game oh man that is a labate vies shoot the arrows ja this is a laborate tiger swag maybe if you do the gritty like the Tigers do like your Justin Jefferson all you can I can't hear you okay so very elaborate I guess are we ready to go to the to the third quarter here let's do it all right cool oh okay um do you want to really oh they're playing the replays look they're playing the replays when I lost my mind on you oh dude they're playing the replays this is fantastic you're going to we're going to have to clip that absolutely amazing it's so funny cuz you were saying pre-production what if I stand up and go crazy and I was the one I was the one that was uh losing my here that's so great all right back to the second half here let's go we talk about the running game and here comes Trevor anen for a first down [Applause] baby oh we're getting the outside here goes it here we go baby let's go let's go yes sir we're marching it down the field in this running game in the second half well that's crazy I just I just called three AUD to different play and and none of it happened yeah I thought you were checking to a passing play I was trying to check a passing play but none of it worked I wonder if it's just because of like they can't hear so they're not going to change the point oh that's a really good point yeah they can't hear so they're not I can't change to play audible three different times and it didn't work you really are running this like Georgia you're you're going under oh oh no let's go baby he catch that that's your a sec my guy here here comes my guy you're [Applause] sick all right you shifting safeties all right we're going to change it we got one-on-one up top here comes the fade rout Joe just K you nope sit down sit [Applause] down oh all right I should have came you ran right into my Blitz you ran right into there I shouldn't have gotten cute there yeah you did all [Applause] right all right I got to go for here got to go my God stop going for it got to go for it here bro I know if you and I if I played like played with you when we were in college I would have hated playing with you because anyone who does this where they go for it every single fourth down pisses me off to no end well I can't kick I just missed an extra point what do you want me to do touchdown baby touchdown here come the Bulldogs here come the Bulldogs touchdown you going for two yeah no I'm not going for two don't don't don't play games with me touchdown [Applause] baby easy and we tied it right here back it's a tie ball game Joseph it is a tie ball [Applause] game all right all right all right and what's so crazy is your boy was down 21-7 oh why did I take that out your boy was down oh did you see a little extra pump [Applause] there oh yep abuka all day dude I am doing everything to take away the middle of the field no you're not no you're not yes I am every coverage that would take away the middle of the field here not doing a very good job of it you're going to talk trash after you're going to talk all that trash after I came all the way back on you you got lucky no way you you had a really lucky play you had really really lucky play okay really lucky play I call that Talent dude yes sir B that away big time third down here Joe Big Time third down what you going to do we're going find out oh you're definitely throwing it over the middle 100% you're throwing it over the middle oh run we got it that's all we needed it's all we needed anybody what's the chat saying here we made fun of the refs are blind bro it's just the back and forth of people making fun of uh just the Xbox and Playstation people are just uh jawing with each other all right I'm going have to get out of that are you ready oh [ __ ] that Bo I shouldn't have I shouldn't have backed out yeah I should have just stayed there oh you're totally off Sid no way no way o quinot can run quinot runs hard I mean isn't that what he does in real life oh well that's what I'm saying that he he runs hard as he's not going down on on First Contact I'm glad I put him in I Trayvon Henderson's good but like well he's not the back that you're going to want play with every down he's a he's a home run threat you know like he's he's not somebody he's going to take a ton of contact and and break those tackles which was kind of hurt me in the beginning of the oh my God he's getting a little up see the my problem with this version of the air I'm going to need to figure out what my new playbook is because you should just go Josh they made it they made it as air raid as they possibly could have where it's limited passing Concepts there's like so few passing Concepts oh touchdown s I'm not going to stick my in face that was I'm no you're but that touchdown that touchdown though all right stop gloating [Music] every time I think that might I think that might be a I honestly think that that might be a might be a bug uh all right got to get back on the board here man got to get back on the board I mean this is going to this might just come down to who's got the ball last honestly I think that's going to happen right now it's looking like it's n you don't know that oh come on oh yeah Carson Beck first down baby [Music] I will say I'm a I don't know about you but when I play Dynasty mode I send the defense I don't play defense I'm really bad at defense knock that out man come down quicker bra bra Thomas baby I don't know how you got away from that pressure [Music] so there we go oh balls out balls out I was down again I down again yes I you don't have any more challenges left yeah you got two challenges a yeah he's so down bro he's so down elbow down ball comes out this is twice it's rigged it is rigging the game for you bro did it give it to me no it didn't no he was down Joe come on the the opposite is is a is applicable here the it is rigging it for you you are getting so many hand outs he's down not so many hand outs whatever dude she's in the game [Applause] all [Applause] 31 I'm really random D everybody really I mean I got to run the football I have to run the football I don't believe how much you want to bet on running the football $500 all right you're in third how much you want to bet that I'm running the football Four's up Four's up oh yeah it is the fourth quarter Four's up Four's up Carson back look at that completion percentage I'm making BR Howard look like a Heisman Trophy winner [Applause] oh oh no I got to call a timeout I picked the wrong play oh you're wasting a Timeout on that it doesn't matter [Applause] oo Pi your play no you can't look at my I'm not looking I'm looking at your formation it's it's it's like it tells me when if we were playing online I would wait for your formation that's not a what I just did is not like no you're looking I didn't look at the play you know exactly what I'm about to do no I was waiting for the formation I didn't want you to look at what I was doing no that wasn't cheating first down but oh much more celebrate touchdown touchdown baby we're back in it [Applause] wo it's so funny because you said this entire time that I was going to be the one that sucked and that you were going to blow me out and here we are in the fourth quarter TI you got a couple lucky breaks you're got a couple lucky breaks okay oh my [Applause] god dude oh that was terrible I'm acting well got it all right we got to do something about this middle of the field [Applause] sh Georgia doesn't get pancake like this and I'm making [Applause] spider are you Lally running down the clock no I don't like the play that I call but I'm going to wait till the play call just run the play no I'm winning this damn game oh my God you're such a hack say the guy who went for on fourth down every single time but I had to oh I literally had to yeah I don't want to I don't want to hear it I literally had to what else would I done I can't stop you okay ready at least I have a game plan going into this what the game plans go for it on fourth down every single time absolutely that's a terrible game playing yes sir Malachi Starks guy who you said wasn't even the best uh safety in oh Caleb DS is the best safety and you know that I disagree with you well you're wrong he's a attacker we caught that I can't believe you didn't put in Jeremiah Smith oh God yeah I'm sure his rating isn't that good it's 84 is he yeah w get him yeah big stop now you're going to talk all that [ __ ] about me going on on them fourth

stuff like that's the I think that's the big thing for me yeah I look I just think it was fun overall to to play the the whole thing here I mean look I I thought that it was you know something that we've been waiting on and I I'm G to be I'm G to say this I know you're GNA be like oh my God but I I'm glad that I got to play with you my the first game back it was really fun uh but man just absolutely fantastic all the way around man I'm I'm thank it's not it's not reciprocated okay okay just kidding I'm just kidding okay look at the highlights here though look at the highlights yes sir yes sir big crucial oh this is the big play that you had by Iuka look they're playing the replays here look at you trying to dead the clock and me getting mad at you oh my God here's where you scored this is where you messed up when you scored this touchdown here it was ball game would you been mad at me if I ran the clock out yes I would have been mad at you if you ran the clock out and then here's the two-point conversion the same play backto back times into the end zone touchdown I'm not getting pizza with you after this I'm going to go I'm going to go lock myself in a dark room and I'm

yeah we're done here uh guys stay on here we got some more games that are going to be played thank you for everybody um that that that joined us here today I'm Blake rafino this is Joe D on you can catch us live on at or at rafino and Joe show where every listening podcast rate review And subscribe there too so thank you to bleach report y'all been first class it's been fantastic thank y'all so much for welcome to Happy Valley over the pen State nit lions and one of the most passionate fan bases in all of college football this is not your run-of-the-mill regular season game instead it is a top 10 Clash one team hoping to make a giant statement as we'll see the number four team in the country the Oregon Ducks taking on the seventh rank team in the land the Penn State NY lion for EA Sports college football Rees Davis with you alongside David poock and Jesse Palmer time to get this game [Applause] [Applause] started the Ducks will kick it off to get us underway and he takes this from inside the five he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 the NY Lions offense takes the field and as we watch this wide receiver come onto the field when you have a dude like this you find ways to get him the ball over and over again no matter what the defense tries to take away yeah because the defense can't win whether you double team him we're still going to win and they're going to give him the ball quick passes they're going to throw it deep and they're going to take advantage of him every opportunity they can they will feed him they will feature him because he's just that good good spot after that seven yd pickup on first down it's second and three leaves it with the running back a run up the middle is stopped for No Gain you got to have that defense you know you can go to in running situations your base defense where you say okay this is where I'm going to start and I'm going to stop the run stuff it up front my guys play Big up front then if I need to add some blitzes to it later on down the road I can but great job in the base defense making a play they'll try to pick it up on the ground they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one man this is a defense that Prides thems on stopping the run and that is a huge statement on their opponent's opening drive of the game third and short they don't just get a stop they get a tackle for loss that sends a very clear message that they're going to be the more physical side today fourth down and the punt team sends it the other way waves the arm for the fair Catch and the catch is made close to the 30 yd line so Oregon's offense will try to get something started with their first possession one way to mitigate the explosive capabilities he has on the outside is be physical with him and this dude will do that he will do that and you don't see a lot of offenses take the top off this deep because of this guy roaming around in the middle of the field he is a true center fielder so this receiver is going to have to make plays M this does such a great job of getting guys on the ground a lot of people are position but he makes plays so him versus a dynamic wide receiver on the outside will be a great match up you can barely hear yourself thinking here as they're trying to get this defense off to a good start he was running through tackles and picked up the first down and finally got knocked down no matter what uniform the Ducks are rocking they are dressed for Success on the ground yeah and that's who they are right that's they're dressed for Success they run the football and then after that what do they do they run it some more and they run it fast every Oregon team always been built on that Tempo and ground game from the gun they'll try to impose their running game continuing to turn and move it forward and they're closing in on Midfield down at the 48 coaches always harp about staying ahead of the chains and when you can run with that type of efficiency on first down man you are doing just that got six on first down now a lot of options on second and four softened him up with a run now to throw just had to get rid of that one good job to avoid the loss and how loud is it in this building this is crazy this these fans are going absolutely and I used to love when the fans got involved and I'm on defense because it messes with the snap count it messes with the communication and it can really rattle an offense better find the earplugged here comes the noise backing this defense on third down grab near the marker it's Johnson he will step out of bounds but not before the big pick up and a first down for this offense when you're a playmaker like this guy is your coaches are going to dial up plays intended for you especially on third down that's what you saw in that last play there was no question where the quarterback was going with that football all week long they decided on the biggest Downs of this game we're going to Target our best player and we're going to make and he takes it all the way they couldn't stop him touchdown ducks and what a nice start for this offense the throw game getting working getting a touchdown pass this quarterback getting a little bit of confidence this passing game getting in a rhythm nice start for this [Music] [Applause] offense he'll try to tack on one more extra point and the extra point makes it seven nothing so that scoring Drive took only six plays and the score comes on a pass from 40 yds out lining up to cover the kick after that touchdown drive from inside the 10yd line he'll bring it back really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there and make the stop at the 19 they think they're there's room to run to the right here and they're going to lose yardage there the defense completely owning the front I'll tell you what sometimes towards the end of that play where you see you're not getting anywhere I'd like for you to just lower your shoulder and get a few yards I just don't love it when they finish and run out of bounds uh you know though we've both been around so long that we've seen a lot of guys try to make a play every single time and it ends up making things worse no I get it you can fight for extra yards or sometimes you go backwards or sometimes you l the football def man I want to put my offense in the best position that means I need to go lower my shoulder fall forward get some extra yardage amazing how many times an offensive holding penalty will stall a drive we'll see if the offense can overcome it got it in the middle it's fliming they make the stop with the sweet rolling catches plenty to give him a first down really nice job on play quarterback and receiver being on the same page quarterback not telegraphing to throw and the receiver does a nice job finding the soft spot in the defense just settling down and giving his quarterback a nice Target to throw to he'll PLL it on the read they'll pick up four second and Six coming these read option plays are very hard to stop cuz you got to have enough guys in the Box to play that immediate run but also always be ready for that quarterback to take the ball and Scoot out wide and when the quarterback operates this like a magician it makes it even tougher yeah when he can see it read it and just flat go those easy plays right there I mean he just picks up a little bit of yardage but he can do it again and again and again and it's just frust I'll tell you this is a running back who very 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 they've got it at the 41 third and short trying to keep the change moving back to pass it's Allard quick strike complete makes the grab and it's enough for the first down before he's dragged to the ground that's got to feel really good for this quarterback it's early in the game so these third Downs are big you're trying to get your offense into a rhythm and a flow nice job reading the defense beautiful the nney Lions have their offense in high gear touch pass on the Jet Sweep and the defense makes the stop after a minimal gain 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 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 see if you can just get him out of the spot he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple they're trying to run the football there's just nowhere to go for the ball carrier inside he tried to bounce it to the outside that linebacker way too fast he met him there and forced the tfl now trying to keep this drive alive on Third and long from the 45 he'll try to pop the draw and he's not going to get there the defense Stands Tall and makes the [Applause] Stop and the nitty Lions will putt this one away this will be the second time they've had to kick it away a fairly short distance here toward the sidelines not his best work the Ducks ready to go back to work on offense Jesse looking to take it down the field for backto back touchdowns I think it's really important for them moving forward too to have a lot of balance right you want to be able to keep this defense guessing P yeah and you got me searching for answers after that last drive you stack another drive on top of this their defense's heads are going to be spinning all over the place didn't get much on first down second and nine out of the shotgun they go to the ground stopped at the 44 but he got 10 on the play and here we go if you're an offense You' got to get that ground game going so you can have some balance and then you give it to your quarterback Palmer and let him make some plays down the field later on yeah exactly and know coming into this game this offense knew they were going to have to someway somehow at least establish the semblance of a running game for exactly what you just said you got to be able to use play action pass later in this game to get some explosive plays down the field and it's a play like that that we just saw which can help them get that going and that's enough first time has expired here in the quarter and Oregon has the lead we've put one in the books Let's have a look at our game summary now to see if these guys can get back in the game in the second quarter the ducks have it with a first and 10 from the shotgun they'll run it got enough for the first and he was loose and in the open field and on his way a tremendous pick up on that one busting big runs like this is a total team effort obviously the back has to find the hole but you got to have everybody around them doing their job to make it a good play call and everybody around them doesn't just mean the offensive line receivers getting their blocks down field is a big deal too it's a huge deal we always talk about them catching passes but blocking is so important for their responsibilities trying to cap this drive with a pass can't make the grab quarterback just miss missed him a little [Applause] bit the incompletion brings us to Second and 10 the give to the [Applause] tailb and a nice job by the running back finding space getting downhill making a good run job finishing with his BS boy they'd love to pick up this conversion and go to work with they first and goal on Third and short they keep it on the ground here didn't get much picked up a yard and that will leave them with fourth and two [Applause] here comes the field goal unit as they'll try to take the three and the holder the fake and a little Shuffle the fake field goal catches the defense with its pants down and it's going to be a touchdown just textbook execution on the fake field goal and trickeration equals touchdown and we saw them been practicing this throughout the week but when are you going to call it are you going to call it because you got to have the onions to call it in a big moment they call it they convert what a call by the offense they'll try to add another to their lead and the extra point will tack another one onto this lead a 69 yd touchdown Drive number 36 set a kick off here he comes from inside his own five really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there and make the stop at the 19 the denty Lions going back to work on offense now the lead's not insurmountable just down 14 nothing but David you don't score here and it could get a little tricky fast if you don't score here if you don't possess the football and put something together to give your defense a little bit of a blow it's not the ideal start but it ain't like this game's late in the football game create some momentum here in the second quarter yeah momentum is a real thing in college football this team needs the juju to get going that first quarter is one they'd love to forget so find your best Playmakers now get them isolated get them the football and let them go to work here's the handoff they'll wrestle him down just short of the first down I don't even think they're going to bring out the change to measure this one man when I can run the football like that on first down and create second and inches 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 they'll go right back to him wrestled to the ground after picking up the first down all right nothing flashy there he just did what it took to get the first [Applause] down the nitty Lions headed quickly to the line the run from the shotgun he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three that DB had a different story he had something to say coming up making a physical tackle last play was a near disaster now dealing with second and 13 leaves it with the back ran through the contact and he's knocked down yeah I wasn't sure if the offense was going to be able to dig themselves out of this hole but on second in California they dial up the running Play Now setting up third and short will they keep it on the ground again here on third down they'll try to run for it nice job to pick up the first down and they'll spot it at the four 42 and his offense is clicking everything's moving and the guy carrying the football I mean he is carrying the rock like this is a guy that's he's setting his tone for this game creating some balance on this offense this offense is going to be a handful yeah David I'd love to sit here and say well the offensive coordinator is just one step ahead of his counterpart across the field that's not it right now his offensive line is establishing the line of scrimmage and you mentioned the back he right now is running with authority on this drive he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple that linebacker saw the express lane right to the ball carrier and a great job by the defensive line getting some push making them use their resources on him linebacker comes free remember making the back field for a tackle for a w now he's looking to throw it gets it out quickly he's brought down solid pick up but a little bit short of the first down for an offense slant routes against man coverage are really a rhythm throw you take your steps you get the ball out it's got to be in a good location quarterback and receiver on the same paage there about to snap it for the eighth time on this drive and it's a third down and four looking to throw it's Allard got the Quick Pass and on that out route third down guys you just want to see a little bit better execution you want to see more depth on the route you want to see a little bit more of an accurate throw so he doesn't have to come back and fight for it so that we can pick up the first down a lot easier little bit better by the quarterback and receiver and as a result they do get the catch but it sets up fourth and short they'll try it on the ground they get him on the ground but it's a first down that's the mindset of this entire offense they're not going to let you off the hook just because it's Fourth and one and that running back he wanted the ball too you can see there right after the third down play looking at his sideline saying give me the ball I want to go get this I'm going to make a play for my team and he comes through big time the nitty Lions want to move quickly we've made our way to the two-minute warning and now they'll try to at least cut a little something off of this lead before the break this first half of offense won't go on the Highlight Reel so far but starting to get things moving it's first and 10 missed his receiver there it's incomplete this offense just has to find a way to find a rhythm here they're playing at home and they want this crowd to stay involved and be an asset in the game but they need to start making plays they can't keep throwing incompletions this early second down coming up after the incompletion they go back up top and that pass will be Jarred loose on second down that brings up third down yeah and you use these running backs so much in the passing game now and you expect him to make those plays for you to make those big explosive plays out of the back field just got to make sure he concentrates and see that ball come in this drive was clicking along but after a couple of misfires threatening to stall out on Third and 10 catch in the middle it's flaming and the defense makes the immediate tackle but he has enough for the first down well look that wasn't a touchdown but that was a massive play for this offense needed some momentum they needed to find a rhythm in what better way than converting on third down awesome job by the quarterback getting through his [Applause] progression he's right on target he brought down but he went backwards after that completion not the way they had it drawn up and offenses keep track of yards after catch consistently there was none there nice job by the defense swarm into the football as soon as he caught it and getting him on the ground now facing some adversity on this drive after the loss of four it's second and 14 a strike down field they make the tackle but he's got a fresh set of downs and it's first and goal from the seven you know often times these slot receivers they're not the biggest guys in the world but they're really good at finding the Open Spaces in the middle of the field and you saw that guy attacked the defense in the perfect spot making life easy for his QB and this is a really important series of plays a chance to cut into the lead just before halftime it's complete they will score touchdown P State and I tell you what that passing touchdown man that should spark this whole team like The Comeback is more than on now like they got the touchdown they cut into the lead you want to get a stop and go into the half get all the juices all the excitement and be like listen the passing game's rolling we got this the come in full [Music] [Applause] effect on to attempt the try onra and after the extra point they've cut the lead in half down 14-7 so they played keep away and held it for 16 plays on the scoring drive and they closed the deal with the seven Y for the score they got the late touchdown on the board now about to kick it away and hoping the defense can keep them from answering coming out with it it's Robinson not nearly as much as he' hoped when he brought it out of the end zone he'll be stopped at the 15 and Oregon has it back and here comes the offense they'll come out on this drive and let it rip caught in the back field it's Ferguson and maybe he'll get back to the line of scrimmage but no more than that nice job defense you always hear people talk about tackling the catch you saw it right there there was nowhere for that receiver to go once he had possession as a result no game this will likely be the last play of the half dropping back it's Gabriel quickly out to the tight end they'll knock him down and that'll take us to half time first half in the books time now to join Kevin Connor in our halftime update gentlemen what a pleasure it's been to watch these two teams thus far they in Happy Valley and I get it a lot of coaches will say the difference between winning and losing comes down to stopping big plays and getting big plays but if you ask me it's more about how good you are on third down and how efficient you are in keeping drives alive those two stats can help you break the whe will of even the best defenses and help you come out on top and with that let's send it back to the guys inside Beaver Stadium the NY Lions will boot it away to start the second half he'll bring it out it's Whittington 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 Ducks ready to go back to work on offense immediately fires to the middle really nice job by the quarterback understanding I need to throw this ball hard like I got to fit in there tight and a nice job by the wide receiver wearing it cuz he really didn't have a choice cuz he was going to wear that one regardless after trying the running game on first down they come to the line on second down he's looking to throw fires to the wide out all kinds of room to throw that one in there and he's brought down after a huge completion and a big reason why this team has the lead in this game is because of plays like that they know they've got Firepower throwing the ball they've got the dudes outside that can make things happen you saw it in the first half and you see it here again early in the third quarter and the duck in the hurry up hand off from the shotgun they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one 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 lost one on that last one it's second and 11 C in the back field it's Stewart the defense wouldn't let him loose and even though it's in completion they lost yardage there receiver's looking at his teammates like guys what's up you're not going to block for me on the screen seriously I just lost yards on a screen play how does that happen Here Comes This Home crowd as the defense tries to get off the field on third down looking to pass it's Gabriel unloads to the wide out and the third down pass is incomplete nice job by the defense they're mixing up their look they're third and long in field goal range they go Zone coverage so everybody on the back end has the eye on the quarterback and they're able to break on the ball Force the incompletion and on fourth down they'll try to put three on the board this is going to have to be Unleashed from 54 yds out no good and the margin is still seven after the Miss guys [Music] [Music] Penn State sends the offense back onto the field they Unleashed an aerial assault last time that took them right to the end zone David So re with that drive I think you've accomplished something you wanted to accomplish make this defense think you put them back on their heels now shoot pmer you might be able to slip a few runs in on this drive to really Jack him up yeah I like that idea but I also like the fact that speed kill they've got it at the receiver position so if you've got one-on-one matchups man take advantage after the productive first down play it's second and six from the gun they'll give it on the inside that's what you expect from a senior don't give them any extra yards great tackle there I never know if it's grammatically correct to say a team is being out physical you hear it a lot in football though that's happening in this game they are just not getting the push they need all game long up front to have any success when they decide to run it out of the shotgun on third down quickly complete they'll get the first down it's spotted on the 49 and on that third and short I don't think he was unhappy to see that zone nope it a great job by the offense hey see where the holes in the zone are sit down you only need a little bit of yards on this third down get the conver ver move the sticks the niy Lions will hustle to the line he'll do it himself a solid pick up there before the defense is able to make the stop well good decision there by the QB a little Zone read action he reads the defensive end crashing down keeps it himself gets a nice chunk of yards and when you do that you sort of get the drive going or keep it going as the case may be it's am aming in college football now how big of a part of each offense The Zone read has become as we're seeing more and more athletic quarterbacks on rosters now that is a staple of the sport finally run out of bounds but he has this offense rolling with a first down this offense has a lot of different ways they can attack you and you're going to see the entire Playbook at work in this game throwing it running it and getting guys the ball out on the perimeter great job and the NY lions are moving quickly down the field they're looking for an advantage to the right he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple everybody talks about DBS they talk about dropping in coverage and not being physical that DB begs to differ great tackle coming up playing physical like a linebacker after losing a couple on that last play here's second and 12 scanning the field it's Allard good timing on the quick out and he'll step across the sidelines after making a good gain on that one I'll tell you for this defense they're going to have to find a way to bracket the slot receiver because of how athletic he is they're going to need to make sure they've got linebackers and DBS surrounding this guy at all times if they can convert here that type of play can really give you a shot of momentum snagged in the middle it's fliming and they reacted well to the completion but it was too late to keep them from getting the first down and that's a really good example of why offensive coordinators script plays you know the down in distance and you know which routes can get you to the stick so there's no waste of time that coordinator got the play in early to his quarterback knowing that his players were going to be able to execute going to run it it's Singleton how about the defender being a heat seeking missile he was on radar L he found the football and flew down with some bad intentions got stuffed on first down it's second and 10 off play action throwing right makes a connection he's right out of bounds after the big gain and they are in business first Ang goal guys out the back field now it's not just run the ball downhill anymore you got to be versatile I got to be able to trust you in the pass game and I got to be able to throw you the football you can do that right there I know you're going to catch it and I can depend on you they'll try to get it in with the Run they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one great job by the whole defense but how about the little bitty defensive back throwing his face in the fan I ain't scared I don't just cover guys I make tackles defense rose up deep in its own end on that last play now a second and long [Applause] coming quarterback on the keeper he pushes his way down to the four as they get closer and closer yeah and it's a nice job by this defense understanding listen that QB is a threat and they're going to run all kinds of options and he's going to run the football they were dialed in and got that Su to the ground huge play in the Red Zone Third and goal coming up to the air it's Allard trying to get to him and he'll Glide his way in for the score touchdown NY [Applause] Lions he didn't see anyone open said no problem I'll take care of it myself yeah I've been there before been there done that not my first Roo I've been in this kind of situation down by the goal line I'm getting outside and I'm taking it in myself [Music] P unit on the field and they did make the extra point and we have a tie ball game here in the third precise Relentless execution on that 13pl scoring drive and they finish it off with the score from the four and we're all square as he set to kick it away on the move from inside side is five he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 and Oregon has it back and here comes the offense you want to talk about taking the wind out of your sails Drive the ball down the field and miss the field goal David you know what don't leave it up to Kickers execute better offensively I think you move the ball nice you got to keep that in mind but Palmer I think you had a stay aggressive and don't settle for field goals yeah because you got to know there's just no margin for error right now you just got to be able to execute at a higher level they'll snap this one from the 30 on First and 10 Ed the play fake now to throw and they got him he'll get him down for the sack [Applause] big catches big plays tons of yards through three quarters for these two [Applause] guys these two teams about to find out what they're made of as we open the fourth all tied up now the play fake grabbed over the middle it's Herbert to the 43 yd line and a first down for this offense it's hard for an offense to win when you get in predictable situations what a great job understanding where the first down marker is I got to get a big game got to get that first down nice job great nose for the first down the Ducks getting set on First and 10 using his legs it's James he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three they're trying to run the ball on first down guys but just nothing doing up front their offensive line got blown up on that play there was nowhere for that guy to go last play was a near disaster now dealing with second and 13 to the air it's Gabriel and the throw out to the sideline with just a few yards they've done a really good job creating the matchups they want out of the spot yeah dude get that guy matched up on a linebacker that guy matched up on a safety keep him away from the corners by putting him in the slot get him the football let him make plays big third down as the crowd Gets behind this defense oh they really could have used that catch their physical pass defense it brings up a fourth down this is a point where you just got to be able to focus and the critical down and distances in this game like that third down right there when it's a good throw you got to make the catch you got to be able to make that play the Ducks will call on their punt team a fairly short distance here toward the sidelines not his best work the denty Lions going back to work on offense now this could be a real turning point in the game they scored a touchdown they got a stop and now a chance to break the toe yeah this offense has got it cooking man and how about the defense great job getting that stop getting the football right back to the hot hand now this offense Palmer has a chance to take the lead you could see the offense too they understand the situation right now they were jonesing on the sidelines to get another opportunity to run back on the field they are ready to drive this ball and no score stopped after a pick up of for good run to get it out to the [Music] 34 after the last run would you just give it to him again on third down from the gun wants to pass got it in the middle it's Singleton and the completion gives him a fresh set of downs and keeps this drive moving and on third down they find a way to get the ball to the back in space and move the chain and that's a play The Defender would like to have back they like to think that they can cover running backs on these types of angle routes but they're just not good enough on the coverage and that allowed the offense to convert that third down now on the option he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three L of three brings up second down offense gets set for second [Applause] down the RPO fire complete to the left one of the things that makes this guy so dangerous is how good he is after the catch if he's got any space around him he's able to burst he's able to make people miss and get extra yards for his offense you saw it right there a touch out of field goal range they need to pick up yards quickly on third down trying to pick it up on the ground nice job to pick up the first down and they'll spot it at the 42 all right defense that's that's what we can't do we can't give up this many chunk yards on the ground got to commit more guys to the line of scrimmage got to get those running backs on the ground that's way too easy the nitty Lions have this offense rolling off the play fake on first down to throw can't hang on and he'll tell you he really should have made that catch and he had an opportunity right in the middle it'll be second down man when you go over the middle you got to be willing to take the punishment you're going to get hit a lot of times anyways so you might as well catch the football but his arms starting to look a little bit like Reese Davis when the check comes at Denver looking for a man it's Allard setting up the screen they finally get him stopped but what a good job by that front wall to set up the screen and create some lanes for their running back and there you go you see you don't have to throw bombs to get big plays in the passing game just screen it to your running back as soon as he catches it he gets up field and how about the downfield blocking by by these linemen and the wide receivers as they rip off that explosive play they'll test the right side he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three how about the job by this defense today they knew what they were getting into a really good running back we talked to them this week it was the main focus point of this offense stopping the Run game stopping the Run game boy have they showed up and showed out and answered that challenge looking to pass on second down and the pass is incomplete thanks to a big hit kick the field goal from here it's a 51 yder get a few on third down and life is much better looking to throw and he needs a chunk play caught in the back field it's Wallace and how about that alertness and that swarming to keep him from getting the first down they allowed the completion but this defense was swarming to keep him 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 and he missed it no good and in the final quarter of Regulation we remain tied the Ducks ready to go back to work on offense David the punter got some work last time they'd like to keep him on the sidelines in this drive yeah it's not something you want to say very often you don't want the pun out this offense needs to get back bed up and get a little bit more of a r best way to do that identify where your best players are and just get them the football give these guys some touches to Kickstart this offense solid pick up of four on first down it's second and six off the play fi release to the back and that's going to be incomplete a lot of contact on the play but no Flags it will be third down looked like the offense had a chance for a big play there but the running back just could not reel that ball [Applause] in these fans stepping up to help this defense on third down dropping back it's [Applause] Gabriel throws to the wide out can't make the play on the interception and man they were looking for their first pick of the game instead it'll be fourth down oh and you'd love to have that play back if you're that Defender third down and you almost pick that off that's a catch you need to make if he catches that that might be pick six and the Ducks will putt it away on fourth down this will be the second time they've had to kick it away on the return it's Saunders pretty solid coverage there and they'll stop him at the 26 and state sends the offense back onto the field he'll come out throwing on first down and this will be incomplete a big hit there forces second down that's your goal separate man from ball try to get your shoulder in there on the catch point and really make give him something to think about physically jar that football and knock it out nice job by the defender after they couldn't connect it's second and [Applause] 10 got it behind the line it's Wallace and they pick up just a few on that completion this quarterback right now is in a Groove and he's doing a nice job in creas snap 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 [Applause] now coming to the line of scrimmage on third down from the gun once to pass snagged on the outside it's Saunders they hop to be able to pick up enough after the catch but a good stop leaves them with a fourth and short really good job by the defense being physical understanding the situation in the game the ball's going to come out quick you know that go make the tackle Force the fourth down the nitty Lions line up to punt it away br bringing it back it's Johnson pretty solid coverage there and they'll stop him at the 26 and Oregon has it back and here comes the offense he wants to start this drive with a pass just gets rid of it to the running back underneath stopped after making the catch this defense is going to have to be careful not only do they have to worry about this guy running the football but they've got to keep their eye on him when he runs routes to he is a versatile bat everybody has to be they have to get it off looking downfield it's Gabriel fires left he's got it and he's running in the open he's showing it all the juice the Jets the moves and he's got it down to the 16 yd line timeout called here by the defense it's their first of the half they say it's still a game of field position and that last one just flipped this baby they've got it first and 10 in the red zone and you can forget running in the middle against this defense quick timeout by the defense there trying to make sure everyone has the same call what a great play by a Lineback you talk about filling a hole defensive line does their jobs he comes in the hole says sit down sir and he does a really nice job finding open space and making a good gain before the stop is made defense calls a quick time out out there perhaps a little confusion about what call they were in not a lot of ground to cover and not much to defend a big third down in the Red Zone they'll try to bully their way for the first nowhere to run on that one he loses four on the carry yeah they're just going to need more push up front there was nowhere for that running back to go the offensive line got moved right back into his lap and as a result they lose yards on so here we are on fourth down in this field goal kicker is going to face all the pressure in the world it's good he could have hit a string right in the middle of the uprights there and there's a lot of celebrating going on over there but there is still time left on the clock you got to give this guy so much credit man it is so hard in practice to simulate the pressure that he just faced late in the game seconds left on the clock you have an opportunity to kick a field goal to put your team up late in the game and he absolutely drilled it what a moment for that young [Applause] man that last field goal gave them a three-point lead now to see if they can cover the kickoff and keep them out of field goal range on the run from inside his own five and the returner could find no daylight he goes down the Dy Lions going back to work on offense now and if you list the priorities here Jesse first thing get your kicker into his comfort zone it's a balance here between being conservative and being aggressive you know that a field goal obviously puts you in a position to win this game but David I don't hate being aggressive here either no I'm going to be aggressive I'm not leaving it up to my Kicker if I have a choice I trust my offense I make the plays I know I can make I watch the clock but I stay aggressive no time to waste here they've got to get set and pick up chunk yardage and he needed a little bit wider field as that one falls out of bounds nice job by this defense you go dime package why cuz you know the offense is going to throw the football great job matching up more skilled players on more skilled players more speed on the field to defend the pass he's trying to get them set quickly they have to get the ball into field goal range just had to get rid of that one to save the yardage on third down well they're down a possession and they're on their own side of the 50 so they need a big one right here they've just thrown three straight incompletions but it just takes one it just takes one big play down the field to all of a sudden get that momentum and that juice flowing again to give yourselves a chance to win it's a one-or game late and they've got to go for it on fourth down he's going going up top here late in the game ball falls to the turf the final pass is incomplete and that's going to do it for this [Applause] one [Applause] e e [Applause] e few places are richer in Tradition more steep in Nostalgia than this old horseshoe on the banks of the O Tangi the home of the Ohio State Buckeyes in The Scarlet and gray have this place rocking already this match up today part of the lifeblood of the sport a rivalry game where the results will be remembered for a lifetime as we'll see the number nine team in the country the Michigan Wolverines taking on the second ranked team in the land the Ohio State Buckey for EA Sports college football I'm reys Davis David Po and Jesse Palmer with me guys it's time to get it going [Applause] the Wolverines will put total WEA to crank us up he'll bring it back from inside his SP lowers that shoulder delivers the blow and he'll be brought down after a solid effort on that return the Buckey offense will have the first possession of the game Stakes are always high in the game Premier are made and lost call of it and they'll have to manage their emotions guys some games in college football just mean more when you think about Ohio State and Michigan you think about not just big 10 implications National Title implications Heisman Trophy implications late in the year David this is just must-watch TV mustat TV two of the winningest programs in college football history this game I tell you what recent years has really brought back the tradition and been so much more competitive now that Michigan's also getting some wins the playaction fake fires to the wide out complete in the middle and there was lots of space as he gets it to the 39 yd line and you know the line they kick around at Ohio State Woody hay forward pass two of the three things that can happen are bad what he had dudes like this he'd be spinning that magic bean all over this place you ain't lying my how times have changed now it is pass pass pass finding Playmakers like this on the outside get them the football the give to the back and he'll pick up one it brings up second and nine there are so many great rivalries in college football guys but I think this one because of the disdain and the Excellence sort of Rises to the top yeah I mean listen there are great rivalries scattered all around this country instate rivalries interc conference rivalries with great history great pageantry but I think what makes Ohio State versus is Michigan unique is the fact that more often than not these are two teams competing for national championships at the end of the year and this game really does determine the national landscap and 19 national championships between the two teams late in the year it always matters you get back to 2006 number one versus number two so always disdain always hate don't even call each other by their names like this rivalry means so much to college football dropping back it's Howard they're trying to get to it dances away from the heat the quarterback bought as much time as he could but the defense got to him and sacked him what a great play this guy is a force on this D line you think about Michigan football defensively they've got dudes up front Aiden Hutchinson Brandon Graham Mazy Smith ran Gary guys that can win one-on-one and guys that change and force your game plan to have to adapt for them you need to double team these guys if you want to have any chance this is that type of player he's got so much ability they'll try to keep that sack from Wrecking this drive here on second and 15 he make the stop as he gets it inside the 30 to the 28 a gain of [Applause] four defense getting St stingier in their own end of the field it's third and long from the 28 from the gun wants to pass catch in the middle it's Kate and he was just a couple of steps away from taking that one even further after the catch and the defense has to be kicking themselves for allowing a first down there you're just maybe going to give them a few yards and let them set up for a field goal instead you let them move the chains and now they're knocking on your door first and goal caught behind the line it's Smith touch Ohio State reeled it in and just made the house call they can use this first score to sort of set the tone guys in this rivalry matchup man doesn't this feel good to come out score early get the crowd involved get the nerves out of the way Palmer when you're playing in a big rivalry game yeah and I feel mum is always a big thing in any game but in rivalry games it's that much more important because everybody is going to feed off that first score now lining up to tack one more onto that lead extra point and he's got the extra point and it's seven nothing to start this one 76 yds on the drive for the touchdown he'll start the return inside his SP didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 so the Michigan wols offense will have its first possession of the game and what a great matchup we have of two highly productive Runners David and I like the compe aspect of this re like I'm watching what you're doing on the other side and I'm going to prove I'm a better running back than you both these guys are looking to be the man today and both guys Can Go the Distance right these two running backs seem to get better as the game goes on so which defense can be more physical step up and at least slow the other guy down this crowd trying to make life miserable for this offense to the ground with back he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple you know the runner just has to have a little bit more patience and bounce that thing outside a little too early and as a result lost yards debb Rising as the crowd Gets behind this defense on third down back to throw it's orgy and with the completion out to the sideline they'll pick up a couple and the Wolverines will try to pin them back with the punt signals for the fair Catch and hauls it in just shy of the 30 the Buckeyes roll that offense back out there man what a drive last time for the touchdown that passing attack was Lethal David yeah and you know you hear all these stupid commentators like me and Jesse talking about create balance you run and pass no when you throw that good spin the ball around so the defense has to find a way to affect the quarterback on this drive because last drive he had way too much time to throw perfect play call for that big game to open the drive now here they come on First and 10 toss sweep to the left at the 45 on his way he showed it all there a little elusiveness a little power and he's got the first down well you see a great individual effort there that time and you can see the skills this guy has and he just reminds me sometimes of the great Ohio State backs we've seen in the past right you think of Archie Griffin and his two Heisman Trophies Ezekiel Elliott JK Dobbins this guy right here with his skill set he's got the chance to be the next great Buckeye back and I think everybody wants to run the option nowadays but the problem is can everybody read it you got to be able to stick the ball in the belly the running back and you have to be able to understand or I'm pitching it to him whatever the read is you can tell he was a little bit confused a little bit slow and that's why the defense won this route lost one on that last one it's second and 11 wide receiver shows motion back to throw it's Howard they're working that left side defense was right there but they couldn't stop him from making the catch and he's got it to the 30 the time honored phase for a quarterback is Field General this dude in this environment he he's like a stadium Commander he's like a an elevated rank above Field General he's like an orchestrator he knows how to how to set him off and and bring it up and bring the excitement with the big play he'll take a shot he makes a catch in the end zone touchdown Buckey man really nice job attacking the middle of the field you see those safeties man I want to split them he splits it right down the middle throws that post right on the numbers catches the ball in the end zone [Music] touchdown ready to try the point after for the extra point and the extra point pushes the lead to 14 a very efficient five-way scoring drive and they finish it up with the final 30 yds coming courtesy of that touchdown pass the kickoff team out there and ready to go and he takes this from inside the five just never had a chance to shake loose and he'll be brought down at the 24 Michigan ready to get that offense rolling again to say this has been a slow start is a bit of an understatement and they really need to get it going here Jesse that's right the opponent they're firing an all cylinders right out of the gate offensively for this unit they've been slow and struggling they need an explosive play to wake themselves up yeah and it's just the first quarter so it's not the end of the world you've seen slow starts but you got to continue to pick and pick and pick until you find that play or or that scheme that you can use against this defense not much of a gain there on the ground and that will do it for the first quarter well guys Ohio state has the lead here they came out and jumped on them early in the first let's take a break and look at the first quarter steps just about ready to get things started here in the second we'll see if they continue to flex that muscle looking for a man it's orgy got out of trouble and throws it's complete to the left they're ripping off chunks of yardage they get it to the 33 how nice is it as a quarterback when you don't have to throw post routes to get great stats no I can just throw it quickly to one of the fastest players in the entire nation and let him burn this defense the Wolverines will snap it on First and 10 looking for space it's Edwards knocked down at the 29 after a pick up of four the colors of the day were Maze and blue when Michigan won a close one last year it was Ohio state leaving the stadium feeling blue after that one too the way the Michigan enforced their will late in that game they were the most physical team when they needed to be and David they're going to have to do that again to pull out this Delby yeah and it doesn't matter if you're the coach at State and you won every game on your schedule but you lose to Michigan it's an unsuccessful year so he's heard about it all off season and these players have to and they'll be ready for some [Applause] Revenge balls at the 25 they're in field goal range but they'd love to convert this third and short to the ground to try to pick up the first and the Wolverines are stopped but not before get getting it past the sticks and I just love when guys know exactly where the sticks are you could tell ran with purpose finished through the sticks and got just enough for the first down and a nice job up front too right good communication everybody knew where they had to go hat on a hat work the double teams and get some push they'll leave it with him he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple 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 oneon-one and forcing a negative play after that last loss it's second and 12 give to the back defense there to stop him at the 20 let's give him three yards on that carry all right well the offense here they're trying to get this run game established they obviously don't break off a long run there but they're just trying to find their footing at this point third down in this crowd is tearing the lid off this place they try to pop a run on the draw and they'll finally get him down after a terrific pickup great job by the quarterback the running back in the offensive line really selling pass that's step one if you're going to run an effective draw it's got to look like pass and then boom you sneak it right to the running back gets a big game and gets a first down after another clutch third down conversion it's first and goal they'll try to get it in with the run and he's loose and he'll take it to the house touchdown Wolverines a methodical Drive Soul crushing Spirit breaking and it ends in a touchdown and listen I know everybody wants the big plays the big long touchdowns and all that stuff but putting a drive together like that is very difficult to do time and time again and it's demoralizing for the defense great drive by the offense lining up for the Pat and after the extra point they've cut the lead in half down 14-7 so it's a 77 yd touchdown drive and he got into the house from the six to finish it about to kick it away after scoring the touchdown here he comes from inside his own five and the returner runs out of real estate as he goes down here comes the Ohio State offense onto the field now they need to put something together to answer that last score there's a lot of pressure too on this offense to have to execute at a high level they've got to score points David but they can't go too fast cuz their defense right now is tired and I think that's the difficulty being a play caller like I have to balance all of those things my defense is a little bit tired I can't put on the field but I got to be aggressive because this is a back and forth type game so a lot to process and think about not what they had in mind to start this drive here comes second and 13 he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three well they were trying to set up the option but the quarterback had no chance did you see the defensive tackle penetrate what a great first step he shot right through the offensive line and got the tfl and the running game has collapsed so far on this drive and now it's third down to the air it's Howard the sweet feet keeping the Play Alive short gain on the play before he slides and that's why it's important offensively they're going to have to do a better job running the ball and getting positive yards early in the drive you can't being third and long living in those situations against this defense cuz they like to play dime personnel and with those faster guys they're going to Blitz and they're going to match speed with speed it's a nice way to combat the mobile ability this quarterback has now sitting up fourth down and good work by the coverage team to knock down the Return Man and here comes the Michigan offense back on the field and David how they would love to stick it in the end zone one more time after after that last drive and once you get the defense on their heels and you back them off a little bit you get in a little bit of Rhythm it's really hard to stop Jesse and they're going to try to do it again right here and if you're this play caller you're loving what's happening right now because everything you dialed up on that last Drive ended up working out you're just looking at your play sheet everything you're picking is working let's see if they can pull it off again here they'll keep it on the ground tackle is made after the first down those who stay will be Champions so that b shim Beckler and those who keep it on the ground churn out first downs yeah it's it's because it's a way of life right it's that physicality it's going to be hard in practice all week when you're at Michigan it's going to be grind it's going to be physical that's who they are they won't compromise and if you get to stick around here recently a lot of success too grabbed in the middle it's Morris and oh he was Off to the Races after the catch and they finally drag him down they pick up the first down on the drag route good job by the receiver knowing it was man coverage if he's looking he's booking he gave his quarterback the eyes right away that says hey I'm not stop and put it out in front of me I'm getting this first down the Wolverines have it with a first and 10 looking to move it through the air caught over the middle it's Morgan they make the stop right there good pick up and still short of the first down it's a nice job running the end route there by the receiver and the best thing he did after he made his break he didn't tril and fade away he actually attacked the football that's a good lesson for young receivers out there watching and the Wolverines have push it inside the 20 to throw it's orgie using the quick game and they'll bring him down but not before he picks up the first down always nice to have that security blanket of the tight end and it's nice to have a tight end that can line up in different areas of the field too it's not always going to be in a three-point stance he can sometimes be in the back field you could Flex him out into the slot they might even try to put this guy out at wide receiver in the split end position and see what he can do there cuz this guy is a weapon and not much doing there as that defense runs him out of bounds the old saying is you'll never go grope taking a profit no matter how small just keep building up the bank account yeah and when the defense wants to drop back and not give up those big plays a lot of times they're going to for to be patient and when you show him you can do that it'll pay dividends in the long run Zing it complete to the right they've got it down to the three yd line really well done on that throwing and catch there's a timeout called as this offense tries to find a way to draw a little closer really need to pick up this conversion and avoid having to settle for the field goal they'll try to run for it and the defense is swarming to keep him from getting to the first down defense going to use a timeout can't afford to have any confusion on the call here they'll have to settle for a field goal attempt a really short kick but you've got to have that anger just right the field goal is no good after that Miss still a seveno game guys and that's just the Chip Shot that's just a field goal they got to make guys L guys roll that offense back out there they've got time they've got the lead and David is sort of like a doctor first Do no harm Do no harm but also momentum is hard to create and sometimes hard to stop you have it so Jesse don't do anything stupid to create some momentum for the other side I think a lot of this comes down to your quarterback and whether or not he's making good decisions in this game if yes be aggressive if not let's just take the lead into halftime and get ready for the second half got it in the Middle with Scott brought down at the 45 after a 15yd pickup this offense is clicking and clearly everything is working the offensive coordinator calling big plays the quarterback and his unit is executing this defense right now they have no answers the offense burns his third and final timeout of the half now a first down from the 45 yd line he's going to pass good job to toss that ball out of bounds and avoid the loss the incomplete pass leaves him with second down on the move it's Howard pocket starts to collapse that pass is incomplete and they might be fortunate it wasn't not free for a fumble it'll be third down yeah this offense might want to think about moving the launch point for this QB because if you take hits like that from the pocket it's really tough to complete passes just a few seconds remaining here as they trying to put something up before halftime on Third and long he has to throw for it pressure coming and they couldn't hold off the heat and he goes down with the sack we've got a timeout in the waning seconds of the half maybe a chance to get off a couple more plays and the Buckeyes send out the punt unit this will be the second time they've had to kick it away trying to play a little field position with that high high punt no return coming he'll call for the fair Catch just enough time for one final play in this half comes out throwing on first down makes the grab it's lovelin and he'll make his way out of bounds after the solid pickup we played two quarters here time to go to Kevin Connors in our halftime update fellas whether it's in the shoe or the big house when you have these two programs with all that's at stake today you know emotion Run High in a game known simply as the game and it's been said football is a game of inches and guess what based on the comparison between third down conversion rate today and the average yard per play how can you argue that I mean the low-lying fruit is to look at some of the explosive plays we've seen and panic but really this game is going to come down to which team is more efficient when they have the ball and how they play when it matters most with that let's throw it back to the guys to see how the fight between Michigan and Ohio State plays out on the move from inside is five really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there and make the stop at the 19 guys Here Come Those Maze and blue winged helmets on offense they'll open the second half on the ground he stopped just a chain link or two away from the first down and sets them up beautifully here and that would be the definition of first down success putting yourself in a good position it's second and inches I can do whatever I want next I can take a shot down the field I can run the football and get a new set of downs like nice first down execution they'll give it to the back brought down to the ground but he has enough for the first down you got to have short area quickness that running back there doing what it takes to make sure he got that first down with the first down they'll put it in play from the 33 they'll try the run good pick up on the ground and they'll Mark him down at the 39 and after a successful run like that on first down if you're the offensive coordinator here maybe you're thinking about being aggressive and potentially taking a shot because even if it's incomplete now on second you only have a short amount of yards to go here on third halfway there on first down it's second and five looking downfield it's orgy working that left side now good pick up there as he gets the first down and they'll Mark him at the 48 well that's a really nice job surveying the field and delivering an accurate throw you know when I think back to Michigan quarterbacks I think of guys like Elvis gerau or Tom Brady Jim Harbaugh Brian greasy guys that could hurt you throwing the ball from the pocket surveying the field reading defenses and making quick decisions this guy has the ability to do all of those things he got a bunch and look close to getting a lot more but he's got the first down well you wonder if one of the adjustments they made at halftime trailing in this game was to try and get the ground game established D they're off to a good start here dang right stay patient you don't have to worry about it you don't have to press just try to get scoring Drives together don't abandon the ring to the air on first down catch in the middle it's Lovin and good coverage by the defense just a short gain a nice job by the defense there tackling the catch and smothering the tight end they know this offense is going to try to find him in the passing game in a lot of different situations that time perfect coverage and nice job bringing the big guy down not easy to do using his legs it's Edwards productive four yd gain there on the ground as he gets it down to the 31 I think you run that play so you stay out of third and long third and long is not where an offense ever wants to thrive third and medium hey I'm good with that so you run that play to make sure you're set up for a good third better find the earplugs here comes the noise backing this defense on third down they'll try to pick up the first through the air and it right in his hands in the middle of the field and it trickled to the ground it'll be fourth down long third and short and field goal range they dial up the pass play quarterback was trying to get through his progressions there was just simply nobody open couldn't make it accurate enough throw ball Falls incomplete Now setting up a big decision here on fourth down and for the second time tonight they'll TR out the field goal kicker knocked it right through showing that big range from 48 yds out that makes the score Ohio State 14 Michigan 10 so after putting three on the board the kickoff team is out there ready to Bo it away what kind of field position can he help them with on the return didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 here comes the Ohio State offense onto the field from the shotgun the hand off to the back got the first down and more and a really nice run and pick up there before the defense avoided disaster and stopped the really big play 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 to 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 touchdowns get him on the ground after four yard run out to the 31 it's just so nice to know you can start off on first down with positive plays positive yards hand the football off set up a good second down after the productive first down play it's second and six looking to throw at Howard just a short pass to the tight end and he might be known for one pitch but that was a sure and heavy tackle on the tight end I'll say this man in college football you see a lot of bad tackling you didn't see it right there that was an awesome job first off being there at the point of attack once the tight end made the catch there was no doubt he was going down great job form t on Third and short just trying to get enough for the first down he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple great job by the defense everybody firing off the ball hitting their guys holding their gaps running to the football nowhere to go the Buckeyes decide to punt it away it away everybody stays in their Lanes well enough and they stop him at the 31 yd Line Michigan ready to get that offense rolling again maybe they couldn't pay off that last drive with a touchdown now they moved the ball down the field and executed like they wanted to until they stall out and had to settle for a field I think if you want to take the next step two here and score a touchdown you got to start finding more creative ways to get your best players the ball let's see if they can do that here not what they had in mind to start this drive here comes second and 13 he's got it again they bring him down but a solid pick up to put them in position to pick up a first down listen defense is about energy it's about passion it's about physicality they need a little bit more of that get the guy on 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 from the gun he'll try to throw for it on third down caught near the sticks it's Morgan such a big part to convert these third downs and they've got it at the 42 it's tough on the defense there third down you're in zone coverage everybody's watching the quarterback and you're trying to make a break on the ball but he just got it out of his hands too quickly and the throw was too accurate really nothing you can do there and it's now a fresh set of downs looking for space it's Edwards still on his feet at the 45 running toward the tap touchdown Michigan and with that one they jump on top here in the second half number seven man I am a great play caller when I can hand it to guys like that and he can go that far to the house create big plays showed you a little bit of vision showed you a little bit of burners when he kicked it in gear and got the long touchdown run [Applause] now they'll line up for what they hope is automatic and the extra point puts him up by a field goal quick work on that scoring drive just four plays and they finished it off on the ground with a 58 y for six about to kick it off after punching it in for the [Applause] touchdown on the run from inside his own five didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 the Buckeyes roll that offense back out there their Drive chart is starting to look a little monotonous punt punt punt David and their defense is starting to get a little frustrated too just keep putting me back on the field possession after possession Jesse this offense needs to get their heads out of there you know what the punter is on the sideline with the oxygen mask right now he's been playing so much he's not used to this this offense they just got to stay on the field they've got to put a drive together and get some balance going running and throwing the ball a little pre- snap eye candy for the defense snagged in the middle it's Scott and they'll do more than move the change they'll move that thing more than 30 yd down the field before he's finally stopped [Music] we've reached the end of the period and Michigan has the lead they've done the work to build a nice cushion now to bring it home as we check out the stats after three quarters back back at it to open the quarter with this first down play out of the gun the inside hand off looking for a crease and he broke one tackle on the way to a solid pick up there I know it's sex to to throw the football but if you can pound it away and get these kind of gains they will just add up wear the defense down get first downs and ultimately get some points that kind of pick up on first down and you can take a shot here on second and short takes the hand off it's Henderson the Buckeyes will have a first down I know this is an offensive line that has a ton of Pride they want to come out each and every game and really impose their will on the dline they got just enough push there on that run play to pick up the first and the Buckeyes are on the move pulls and throws off the RPO they make the stop trying to pick up just a little bit at a time to get to that first down marker I just get the feeling this defense is going to make it hard on them right they've got the lead it's late and they're going to try to tackle everybody in bounds offense is going to have to really work for this and be smart you got to attack the sidelines you got to throw first downs you got to keep this thing moving vertically down the field on the run it's Howard can't quite make the connection there might have led him a little too much the defense was obviously ready for that play they've obviously been watching film they know that that pass play is one of the bread and butter plays this offense has so nice job defending it couldn't find his man last time now they'll have to convert third and four off the boot leg wants to toss it that's caught it's auka and he's a real Nowhere Man tackled in this no gain land they'd hope to get him in space create Running Room and there just wasn't anything there I love the third down aggressive iny face defense not giving you any room to run down the field great job by the defense they saw the throw the Quick Pass reacted to it got him on the ground for a loss he boomed it through a 50yd field goal showing off that powerful back and this kicker has ice water in his veins fourth quarter you need to make the field goal to tie it up and that kid just [Music] drilled we've got a Dandy going here all tied up in the fourth qu and about to kick it away he'll bring it back from inside to spot didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 and here comes the Michigan offense back on the field the give to the back able to pick up a couple before he's dragged down at the 19 that's a really good job by the defense wrapping him up getting him on the ground take away that run game make him onedimensional put him in passing tion really good job by the [Applause] defense picked up two yards on that last one they need eight on second down back to throw it's orgy fires to the middle complete downfield there to make the tackle but the big throw is good enough to give them a first down when these wide receivers work the middle of the field so much of this is field understanding where the holes are in the zone or understanding how to get leverage on a man and receivers are dangerous nowadays because they do it so fast and see that so quick and make those plays over the middle running back searching for a hole nice solid form tackle from this sophomore and the defense doing a great job committing to the run when you commit to the run like this obviously you can give up some plays in the passing game but you got to stop the run first after picking up a couple in second and eight he's looking to throw unloads to the wide out trying to hook up on the sideline but it's incomplete [Applause] third big third down as the crowd Gets behind this defense from the gun wants to pass grabbed over to the middle it's Lin third down conversions are huge and they've got one and they at the 35 Big Fellas showing some ability got away from one tackle defense lucky they had a few more there to help yeah he's not a big stiff he's not a blocking tie then this guy can do some work out in the open field as well and he showed you his athleticism the Wolverines will snap it on First and 10 they'll run it from the gun across the 25 he's got room touchdown Wolverines they've got the lead here in the for there's a reason they call this dude a big playmaker moments just like that one big time playmaker can make plays all over the field from all different spots that's why you got to find ways to give him touches as much as possible cuz he'll make it happen [Applause] he'll try to add another to their lead exra point the extra point is good and now in the fourth they're up by a touchdown and an extra point so that scoring Drive took only six plays and he closed the deal by racing 35 ydd to per almost ready to kick it away after scoring the touchdown the returner will field it and try to do some business really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there and make the stop at the 19 here comes the Ohio State offense onto the field wasting no time throwing on this drive that's caught it's auka they make the stop after the catch and still some work to do to pick up that first down listen I'm going to move this guy everywhere he's in the slot this time but I'm not going to let the defense understand where he's lining up so they can double team him put him in the slot put him out wide either way find this guy early and often on the ground it's Henderson the Buckeyes pick up the first down well the offense knew what they needed to get that first down so they dial up the running play and they get just enough to keep the drive lot and they'll line up from the 31 on first down looking to throw it's Howard coming after him quarterback doing what he does best he can move a really nice run and gain and he gets down to avoid taking punishment you know I think in this situation of the game too if I'm this guy I'm thinking the same thing right I'm throwing and getting yards if it's not there I'm going to take this game over myself with my legs we're in the fourth quarter we've got an opportunity one possession down to get back in this thing I just got to do whatever I got to do to make that happen big drive for this offensively trying to tie the game they pieced together a couple of first downs and here they come again he's looking to throw it fires to the wide out oh what a grab by the defense no real chance on the return but they've got it at the 34 Big Time Players make big time plays in Big Time games great job by the defense not closing the door completely but stopping the momentum late in the game when you already got a lead nice job D guys Here Come Those Maze and blue winged helmets on offense so we've got a tight spot here David they'd love to run out the clock but all those timeouts staring out they got three timeouts on defense but I know a first down ends this football game so I got to get my guys physical ready to roll yeah because you know this defense is going to be playing the Run they're going to be loading the box trying to get tackles using their timeouts to get the football back so this is going to come down to who's better in the trenches little touch pass to the receiver pretty good effort on that one to work his way up to the 42 quick timeout called by the defense stopping the clock to save as much time as possible for their offense these fans stepping up to help this defense on third down they'll run it trying to drain time off the clock defense uses a timeout quickly trying to get that ball back and preserve time for their offense well they needed two yards to get that first down that's exactly what they got great job of execution no secret about it just got to be physical get a hat on a hat low man wins all the cliches to get that third down and [Applause] short e [Applause] that's that's [Applause] [Applause] e welcome to Tuscaloosa Alabama Title Town some call it a moniker that many claim but this city lives thanks to the Alabama Crimson Tide coaches like to say no game is more important than any other when you have a couple of top 10 teams ready to square off yeah that one carries a little more weight as we'll see the number one team in the country the Georgia Bulldogs taking on the sixth ranked team in in the land the Alabama Crimson Tide 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 [Music] [Applause] [Music] Up Georgia about to kick it off to get us underway the returner will field it and bring it back didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 so the Alabama Crimson Tide offense will take the field for the first possession of this game and there he is a man who makes an entire Stadium hold its breath every time he touches the ball Jesse this defense better have a lot of breath in this game too cuz he gets better as the game goes on he's the kind of guy David who can wear a defense down and he is the primary focus that's what this defense is focus and key in on we got to stop him if we're going to have success today after getting knocked back to open this drive it's second and 12 out of the gun the inside hand off to the running back in a little more space open up that Playbook even more as they pick up the first down out to the 30 that don't care if I get it by two by 20 by 30 by 40 I I just I just want to get the first down understanding the situation understanding where the sticks are doesn't have to be sexy but I got to make sure I get to that stick get to the first down Mark to the air it's milroad feeling some heat got his Man Down field and he's to the 48 yd line that'll be good enough for a first down really nice play getting that first down and listen I know when a lot of people think about the Crimson Tide recently they think about the success they've had at the quarterback position a big reason why though those guys have been playing so well they're throwing the NFL Talent all over the field and this dude right here he could be the next first round pick at the wide receiver position from B PS and fires it complete to the right still running up the 40 he's one out of bounds but a big play on that one and it'll be a first down the transition of Alabama quarterbacks over the years has been fascinating from the dreaded game manager label to playmaker to playmaker to spread it out to Heisman winter I mean that's how much this offense has changed and evolved and they're going to be aggressive and they're going to score points in this New Age Era brought down at the 30 yd line it's a gain of six you want to talk about making it easy for an offensive coordinator you pick up a bunch of yards on first down make that second down really really manageable that's a great job by the offense 6yd pickup on first down leaves him with second and four he's looking to throw got it in the middle it's Miller and they knock him down but he got past the line to gain and a great job by the QB finding the running back getting the football where he can do some damage after the catch and most importantly get the first down Alabama with a first and 10 here out of the gun to give to the the back and he fights his way forward gets away from one but not much doing on that one and just a great job by the defense being Stout right that's your job be Stout up front stuff in the Run play make them get in more passing situations but do not let them run the football that's 101 stop the run first they got nothing on the last play it's second and 10 wants to throw it's milro dumps it to the back finds a spot in the middle they're able to keep him out of the end zone he'll be stopped at the two after the big play in the passing game I like the running back there on the route and the patience he showed really setting it up he got to the defender was able to put his foot in the ground get some separation catch it and turn up field for the First on first and goal let's see if Alabama can get it in the end zone he'll put the tight end in motion a first down run on the doorstep and he's going to take it to the house touchdown Crimson TI I think what you love about that opening drive for the offense is the balance they were able to throw the football to set themselves up into position and then he carries it in for the TD you got to be able to keep defenses on their heels and they did a nice job of that on this opening drive lining up to add another forra point and the pat makes it seven nothing so an 82 yd drive there and finish to deal with the short touchdown run from the two kickoff team lining up to send this one away fielded In The End Zone it's Smith rolling the dice to bring it out of the end zone did not work out as he stopped at the 13 so georg's offense will go to work for the first time today typically the last thing a defense wants is to have a backer on a wide receiver but we may see some of that today guys typically you don't see linebackers that can run like this guy and that's why they feel okay letting him cover this Dynamic wide receiver one on one yeah and and feel okay it's not going to be a good thing you better get your hands on it early put your physicality let that win it ain't going to be your [Applause] speed this crowd full throat splitting the eard drums and letting him know it's going to be a long day grabbed behind the line it's Del crosses the 30 he's got a lane he's run out of bounds but not before turning in a big up and moving the sticks for a first down that is a really good looking throw you think about the expectation level now for quarterbacks of Georgia Matthew Stafford was the number one pick overall Stetson Bennett won two national championships imagine the pressure on this guy when you see throws like that he makes you believe that he can step up and Lead this team to get another Natty they stop him cold maybe gets a yard to the 34 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 on didn't get much on first down it's second and nine back to pass it's back looking down the middle he makes a catch they get him down at the 49 but not before he picks up 15 man down on the play as the officials take a break to let him be checked out this Georgia offense moving quickly down the field grab behind the line it's Del and he's able to shed one tackle and gets a pretty good pickup well I know the tight end did some good things after the catch but got to give the quarterback credit too for the location of the throw because he put it out in front of his big man he was able to make the catch and accelerate creating distance there between him and the defense kept it on the ground on first down see if they stick with that plan on second he's looking to throw got his man quickly made a Defender miss that is exactly what you're looking for when you talk explosive plays the defense finally able to make the stop hey who says hitch passes can't get big yards receiver catches it makes a guy Miss and goes and gets a first down [Applause] the crowd getting behind this defense as they try to get a stop in the Red Zone from the Red Zone looking for a receiver and the rush will get to him at the 25 how about this defense coming out aggressive on first down they're in the Red Zone they're like no no no we're going to take the fight and You Now setting up a second down and long and putting them in a great position to be successful this crowd going to try to make life miserable for these guys the give on the inside they make the stop but not before he takes a chunk out of what they need to move the sticks 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 blocked getting a nice positive gain making your situation really good on the next down third down in this crowd will blow out a vocal cord to help this defense back to pass it's back they've got the screen set up and that defense doesn't allow a cut back and they get him out of bounds after a short gain all right we got the completion we got some yardage we got some positive yardage now we're in fourth and manage Bo and you dang right we're going for this puppy we got our fourth down play Ready To Roll we're calling it in it's fourth down and they'll try the field goal kick is good the offense has points to show for the drive that score [Applause] they were able to get a field goal on the board and now they'll kick it away here he comes with return good job by the coverage unit to stop the return man just enough time for one more snap before the end of the quarter power football with the run and with that stop we are headed toward the end of the first quarter man sticking to the run I tell you what a lot of teams that are really good are really stubborn 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 and they've swapped into the field and we'll get it going in the second got a little work done on first down now back to the line wants to fire on second down the throw to the outside is complete he almost picked up the first down on that one but he'll be just a little bit short well you can tell those two have been practicing the out route all off season wrong they looked like they could have completed that in their sleep a completion but not quite enough for the first down third down coming for this offense they'll stick to the ground looking for the marker that play just never had a chance a knock him down for a loss of five linebackers in today's football obviously guys have gotten smaller they got to play in space more cover fast guys out on the perimeter but how about this linebacker coming downhill and making a physical tackle in the hole looks as if the tide will punt it [Applause] away running it back it's Evans the solid return there offsets some of the punt yardage and really sets up this offense nicely and Georgia ready to go back to work on offense give to the running back just a Solage stop by this sophomore and those physical runs take a toll it might not be a big game now but down the road third fourth quarter late in the ball games they tend to turn into bigger runs didn't get much on first down it's second and [Applause] nine fast motion from the offense and the defense gets to the quarterback this defense they are tenacious and you've got guys up front that are athletic and that are so strong and it could collapse the pocket you saw it right there in that play action attempt Here Comes This Home crowd as the defense tries to get off the field Feld on third down looking to throw it's back and he feels the heat coming and it burns him up another sack well I think one of the biggest reasons why this team is finding themselves in a hole here in the first half is this has been a sack part they can't keep the defense off of their quarterback they haven't been able to get the ball deep down the field throwing it with the consistency they want because they can't keep their quarterback standing up straight Georgia sends out the punt team three and out they got stuck in Reverse they hope the punt can bail them out pretty solid coverage there and they'll stop him at the 26 the tied offense rolls onto the field they'll have another opportunity to extend this lead after punting last time David and it's important to put that punt behind you it's it's over let it go get back to what you were doing that built this lead Palmer yeah and defense obviously they won a few Downs uh that last drive so we got to put them on their heels here maybe mix up a few Personnel groupings and try to show them some pictures they haven't seen yet not what they had in mind to start this drive here comes second and [Music] 13 they bring him down but a solid pick up to put them in position to pick up a first down offensive linemen love to run the power why you run power power then you can play action you don't want that defense to be sitting there saying it's a pass it's a pass having a pass block every play you got to keep defenses off balance they plow ahead with the run but still more ground needed to pick up the first down third down coming and that's incomplete a Defender all over him knocked the ball to the ground fourth down coming up you know on a third and short like that you just have to have great chemistry between the quarterback and his receiver they just could couldn't get on the same page and now it sets up fourth down the Crimson tie will bring the punt team on the field first punt was Gores let's see if he can do it again looking for a block it's Evans they'll put that return to a stop at the 33 but the offense set up in pretty good field position we're ready to get another look at this Bulldog offense he'll keep it himself he's dropped behind the line line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three really really nice football play man I got to understand option football I got to play my responsibility make sure that I know what I'm doing look at the Lineback great job doing that staying patient getting to the quarterback making the big tackle last play was a near disaster now dealing with second and 13 keeps it on the boot leg looking to throw pulls it in it's Thomas and swarm him under need to do a better job as a Defender tackling the catch on the cow route he had a chance to break on the ball get the receiver down couldn't do it and as a result they give up an explosive play Deb Rising as the crowd Gets behind this defense on third down they'll try to move the chains on the ground didn't get much picked up a yard and that will leave them with fourth and two [Applause] Georgia lining up to put [Applause] away on the move it's Bernard cover guys do their job and they get him stopped at the 22 yd line here comes that Alabama offense here's another another opportunity Jesse to stretch out this lead after punting last time I think it goes back to your Playmakers reys 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 didn't get much done on that first play of the drive it's second and 11 dropping back it's milro just not quite able to make the connection it's incomplete it's seemed like there may have been a miscommunication there between the QB and receiver just not on the same page now facing a third and long out of the gun they'll run it inside he's knocked down in the Back Field he'll lose a couple we've got a timeout here late in the first half and they'll try to get more points on the board before the break Alabama will bring the punt team on the field on to kick it [Applause] away and he'll work his way on the return out to the 35 yd line before he stopped and Georgia ready to go back to work on offense they'll crank up this drive with the pass fires to the big fella and an absolutely Fearless tackle giving up size still got him on the tur that's just a very easy comfortable throw for the quarterback he knows he has his big Target the tight end running across the field on the drag nice play they'll try to kick it into overdrive clock's running second down coming he's looking to throw unloads to the right makes the grab After Burner coming touchdown dogs that is the ultimate grab and go for the score and I just love the execution by this offense late in the half man you want to take the lead you want to get that momentum on your side and they do it they finish it with the passing game and I tell you what keep that passing game up you can keep this lead keep the momentum and keep putting up numbers getting set for the point after and the extra point puts them up by a field goal this offense Prides itself on going after you and they did with that long touchdown pass to finish off a two-play drive the kickoff team takes the field to boot this one away he'll start the return inside his five really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there make the stop at the 19 the tied offense rolls onto the field they're going to open this drive with a pass safe little shovel pass and he laid the lumber to stop him from getting a first down must be nice for this quarterback knowing he's got this type of athlete playing the tight end position that can work the middle of the field form he's a guy who can stretch it vertically as well but this is a guy Q QB will look for early and often this game looking to pass it's milro shoots it to the left wide open downfield ripped off a huge chunk play on that one as he gets the first down before he steps out of bounds know it's early in the game but defensively after that play you know you have to tackle the catch when this guy gets the ball in his hands he is so dangerous after the fact so it's okay for him to make catches just got to get him to the ground quickly that last play is the kind of thing the offense can really build some momentum on and now they've got it first and 10 outside the 40 a timeout is called as this offense tries to find a way to get more points on the board before the half great job by the offense listen if the defense is going to back in zone you know what you got to do run those crossers across the formation those guys that they're looking at the quarterback they're not trying to pick up receivers all the time make those precise throws right in those holes get those first downs get those big chunks they'll immediately call timeout you know sometimes when you're throwing against Zone coverage you need time for the routes to develop so nice job by the quarterback there being patient allowing his receivers to work themselves open looking to throw on second down find his man down the middle they get him on the ground but not before he gets up for the first down one of the most difficult things about this slot receiver is his shiftiness and his athleticism he's very very difficult to tackle after the catch clock stops momentarily for the first down they'll hurry to the line they're in the red zone and they'll pass it got away from trouble and got rid of it catch in the middle it's Miller they'll use a timeout right before halftime maybe time for one or two more plays now with just a few seconds left not enough time to run another play but there is time to kick a field goal and take the lead he got it and the three ball locks us up get closer to the half how big was that kicking the field goal at a tie the game going into halftime and you just sent a message to your opponent there's a lot of ball left we've got a lot of juice left in the tank this game could go anyway here in this last [Music] half that late in the half field goal always gives you a little boost going to the locker room and they'll need to finish off these final few seconds and not allow them to answer from inside his own 10 he'll try to help out their field position as the end of the second quarter that means it's time to join Kevin in our halftime update gentlemen what else is new a spirited environment there in tuscalo it's been very [Music] ready to start the second half Alabama will kick it off and he takes this from inside the five he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic but they get him on the ground at the 20 we're ready to get another look at this Bulldog offense first drive of the second half always fun to watch you see what type of tweaks were made at the half especially when you're locked up in a ball game like this one yeah and it's been a good game I mean it's been a little bit of back and forth in a feeling out process and now once you get in the second half who's going to get aggressive onner who's going to take some shots try to make some plays and really go for it yeah it's interesting I think as play callers right now you learn a lot about these coaching staffs with respect to who does make the best adjustments there's a lot of coaches that believe we're just going to be who we are we're going to keep doing what we do we're just going to do it better but then there others that tweak things a little bit on offense and on defense we're going to find out here makes the tackle at the 30 after he picked up 10 the dogs have had a long history of Scrappy and efficient quarterbacks add a little star power to it and you've got something working you definitely get a little extra something something we see it all across college football you find that dude at the quarterback spot it takes you from good to great and you've seen that with Georgia over the last s seasons and how about that interior defense stuffing the run for nothing that back had nowhere to go the defensive line ate up the blocks but how about the linebackers swarming in coming in and making a great play on the ball car got stuffed on first down it's second and [Applause] 10 scanning the field it's back that pass is in incomplete and they're probably fortunate that it wasn't knock free for a fumble 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 then 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 nowhere on Third and long trying to have a big completion here oh and he gets downfield for the Big Catch and they were looking for a chunk play and they got it the explosive picks up more than 30 man that's a really nice job executed by this offense third down defense expecting pass they had a plan quarterback drops back gets rid of the football nice job after the catch and a great job setting up a first and goal for this offense this offense trying to quiet the crowd on first and goal and they are not cooperating they'll try to get it in with the Run pushes ahead for two to the seven yd [Applause] [Music] line now second and goal and right in the he of this noise grabbed in the back field it's Del crisp execution in the passing game and they've got it down to the three less catch by the big Target those big tight ends you can tell in football just becoming more and more of a weapon on every single team you can't hear yourself in on Third and goal to the air it's be unleashes to the end zone touchdown bulldogs and that one will give him the lead [Applause] lining up to tack one more onto that lead and the extra point is true and they're on top by seven they put together an 81 yard drive and they finish it up with a three yd scoring toss lining up to cover the kick after that touchdown drive and here's the return and The Return Man reaches the end of the line and down he goes here comes that Alabama offense 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 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 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 D got six on first down now a lot of options on second and four he's looking to throw grabbed in the middle it's raw finally pulled down but not before moving the change for a first down great job by the quarterback thrown against Zone coverage you cannot Telegraph where you're throwing the football you cannot eyeball wide receivers so great job by the quarterback using his eyes not staring down his guy and then throwing him open looking for a physical attack from the gun good solid run on that one as he gets it up to the 33 yd line keep pounding away at this defense and make then 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 they can really be aggressive after that last play it's second and three they'll ride the running back and leave it with him works his way to the 38 after gaining five you wonder now on offense have they found something in the Run game finally it's been tough for them to get the Run game going but they picked up nice gain on that last one let's see if they go back to it Alabama pushing the tempo finds the tight endend and that was some kind of collision between a couple of big bodies here and he stopped from getting the first down so surprised we have not been calling this guy's name more he's one of the best tight ends in the country but give the defense credit they have had an outstanding game plan limiting him so far that's only his second catch of the game from the gun running back on the Move stopped just across the 50 at the 49 yd line it's a pick up of 10 and a first down that has got to be demoralizing if you're on defense because they just ran the ball right up the middle down your throats and they gashed you the top with the first and 10 motion trying to get the defense to show its hand caught in the back field it's Hayes and that will go backwards a negative play and that defense on high alert that time love the awareness by the defense here they're trying to get the running back the ball in space but the defense was expecting it they had guys in position they located the football and they went and gain tackled now facing some adversity on this drive after the loss of four it's second and 14 and that pass is intercepted didn't let him get loose on the return but he'll taken as they have the ball at the 47 what a nice catch by the defensive back listen a lot of times you see DBS getting position to make plays but there's a reason they play DB and not wide receiver great job finishing the interception catching the ball making a big play and Georgia ready to go back to work on offense David they'd love to do what they did last time and put this one in the end zone you ain't lying they did a great job the offense was clicking everything went well Palmer they executed and got the touchdown and they really were in a nice Rhythm as well I'd love to see that here on the next drive too just keep doing what you're doing everything seems to be working and you seem to have this defense on their heels picked up two yards on that last one they need eight on second down pulls it and fires to the left Mak the stop at the 40 but it's a 10yd gain and a fresh set of downs 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 exposive play they'll put it in play from the 40 on First and 10 used the play fake now to throw excellent coverage and good use of the hands to knock it away well I know that one fell incomplete but what a day this guy has had thrown the football multiple touchdowns and he's done a really nice job with his decision making hasn't thrown any picks which has really helped keep this offense on schedule they'll try get on second down after the incompletion to the air it's back finds his tight end how about this backer in pass coverage and bringing the big hit stick with him too third [Applause] coming no question they wanted to get the ball to their Playmakers and both receivers have come up big through three Alabama [Applause] one more period to go to see who can make the winning plays and come home with the victory big third down as the crowd Gets behind this defense throws to the wide out he's got an open man touchdown Georgia a great catch and run for six and it's now the second time this wide receiver has scored another outstanding job with the route great job securing the [Applause] catch he'll try to add another to their lead for the extra point and the extra point is true and they have a two touchdown lead up 14 in the fourth a very efficient five play scoring drive and they get it into the End Zone on a 36 yd touchdown pass they're just about ready to kick it away he'll bring it out it's raw not nearly as much as he had hoped when he brought it out of the end zone he'll be stopped at the 15 the tied offense rolls onto the field he'll pull it on the read picks up the first down and excellent Vision to find Running Room there and make a really good pick up before the defense put a stop to it there's an example of the offense taking advantage of all the attention the defense is giving this outstanding running back remember he's one of the best in the game they're expecting him to get the football so the quarterback says you know what I'll just keep it no one's keying on me I'm going to get up field and find an explosive play defense in the right spot they stop him after a gain of two to the [Music] 28 after picking up a couple at second and eight motion by the back forces the defense to adjust fires to the right and the pass is incomplete Jarred Loose by the hit hey man if you're going to force incompletions when the QB's thrown to the tight end you better be physical nice job with the hit forcing that incompletion they've made third down offense a key it'll be tested on Third and long from the 28 looking for a man it's milro buys a little tie and he scoots his way to the first down and then slides to avoid the hit nice scramble unbelievable job after dropping back to pass and understanding the situation and a nice heads up play slide live to fight another down don't try to make a bigger play and run through somebody big and get yourself hurt this Alabama offense is clicking they're set up with another first down he wants to throw caught over the middle it's long found enough room to get it into enemy territory there're down at the 43 yd line this defense better not blink I know they've got a lead here in the fourth quarter but just look at who they're going against this quarterback is one of the best in the nation they cannot rest on their Laurel someone's going to have to make a play Alabama quickly back to the line [Applause] from the gun the running back has it good pick up on that play it'll bring up second and four yeah this coaching staff they're getting this offensive line lathered up and into a rhythm now they're letting him drive off the ball on first down on these running plays and they're getting chunks of yardage 6yd pickup on first down leaves him with second and four moving the running back trying to get the D to tip its hand in caught in the back field it's Miller and they wrap him up but not before he's got enough for the first down well down two possessions good news is you get the completion bad news though did not get out of bounds you know right now saving the clock that is at a premium for this offense Alabama comes to the line with first and [Applause] 10 from the shotgun the inside K oh better check some ankles he makes a move and gets down to the 24 play by the speed back you think about speed you think about breaking ankles you broke the tackle because it's so fast moving so fast hard to get the guy on the ground got six on first down now a lot of options on second and four dropping back it's milro spits it out to the back finds his man in the middle and the defense able to drag him down but not before they'll recycle that down marker yeah and you see running backs in today's football they play wide receiver basically for you but you got to find a guy that you can throw it to and you know he's going to catch the ball consistently all the way down to the 15 yd line it's first down from the Red Zone he's going to throw it and the physical play there forces the incompletion on first down well it was a good throw it was a good route but it was the hit that forced that incompletion defense has to be frustrated the offense keeps matriculating and matriculating and matriculating the ball down the field that's a fly touchdown Bama and they made it to the house where they found that six points waiting on them oh Uncle Mo has changed Sidelines look out brother here's what happens right something happens get you close in the ball game the defense needs to come out here get a stop get that ball back to the offense oh Uncle Mo on your side [Applause] and they'll try to tack on two trying to Surge it in he's in there for the two-point conversion and now they're just down six so a drive there of 85 yds and they finish it up with a 15 yd scoring toss about to kick it off after punching it in for the touchdown and he'll bring it back he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 we're ready to get another look at this Bulldog offense off the play fake on first down to throw working on the right and they are pushing the ball down the field a big pick up on that one and the tackle is finally made yeah and he's been throwing it all over the yard and he's now over 300 yards on the day so been a successful day now 3 yards I don't know Palmer 300 nowadays that's like what back in the day for you that would have been 500 I would have won the Heisman maybe it's a big deal today in college football no doubt listen he's in a rhythm right now he's in a Groove we've seen good decision making he's been playing on time and he's been deadly accurate throwing it and guess what this game is far from over wide receiver now comes in motion off the bootleg to buy a little space just had to get rid of that one good job to fight another [Music] play wonder if they'll throw it again after the incompletion second and 10 from the 49 movement here from the tight end the give and tick tick tick tick tick tick tick they tried it again and got the same result they'll get nothing in like it now they're looking at a third down yeah not a surprise by this offense right this is a game management type situation I want to run the football I want to run the clock the clock is my friend with the lead late in the fourth quarter inside of a minute I'm going to keep this ground game going and make you have to look at that clock continue to tip 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 unencumbered and get to the football and the punt hits ground at the two and goes into the end zone he just missed pinning them right in the shadow of the goal post it'll come out to the 20 getting some heat and it's in complete if you're going to take a hit like that you might as well hang on to the ball well no big surprise here in the fourth quarter the defense expecting pass that's why they've got extra DBS on the field it's almost like a prevent look everybody back there staring at the QB going to be hard to throw into that obviously the ball Falls incomplete still at their own 20 after that last incompletion it's second and 10 unloads to the wide out it's caught and they'll finally bring him down after he rips off a huge play 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 offense rushing to the line of scrimmage clock has stopped for the first down they'll try to get it off quickly looking downfield it's milro unloads it left quarterback needs to make a better throw there incomplete well I know it hasn't been a tremendous day statistically for this quarterback but his decision making has been good enough to win this game hasn't thrown a lot of TD so far but when things aren't open he throws it away like on that play right there he's not putting his team in a bad spot that's why they still have a shot to walk out of here with a double he's looking for a man on second down quarterback moving out of the pocket able to get just a few before sliding to avoid the hit well great job there by the defense because they weren't able to get him sacked right away but you saw the coverage in the back the quarterback to throw the football didn't get the sack obviously you don't get the negative play but you also don't give up a big one you're feeling pretty good about where you are right now in this drive they'll hurry to the line here to try to get off that third down play from the gun wants to pass fires to the wide out got him downfield ripping through the defense and getting it all the way down to the 24 yd line man this quarterback is going to have to be deadly accurate here in this two-minute situation right that's really what he's had to be all game long he hasn't had a lot of yards because the coverage has just been so tight he's had to be pinpoint perfect it's been hard just to find completions and no doubt that's going to be the same thing here in this two-minute Drive attemps incomplete it's now second down let's see what they've got on second down he's looking to throw gets it out fast he's brought down solid pickup but a little bit short of the first down timeout called by the offense caught stopped with 21 seconds left the Grimson tied snaps it from the Red Zone they turn to the passing game on Third and short didn't have much of a choice just had to throw that one away it'll be fourth down and if you're the defense right now you've given up some yards on this drive but you've got a possession lead you just need one more stop after that last incompletion setting up fourth down do you blit do you try to speed up the QB let's find out and watch on fourth down trying to find his man he's got it in the end zone and the game is tied an extra point away from taking the lead and that drive right there is exactly what you dream about that's how you want your offense to perform under a clutch situation you take the ball down the field get the score and now an extra point away from taking the lead late in this ball game they'll try to attack one more on their score clock is stopped timeout used by the defense 14 seconds left he'll try to tack on one more the kicker on for the extra point and he knocks through the pressure fill extra point and now see if they can hang on they marched 79 yds on the drive and they top it off with a 14 yd pass for the touchdown kickoff team has the ball teed up in there about ready to go here he comes from inside his own five he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic but they get him on the ground at the 20 and Georgia ready to go back to work on offense now in the waiting seconds Jesse you've put yourself in position to pull this one out and there's a chance this may come he's loose he will step out of bounds but not before the big pick up and a first down for this offense that's a first down for the off remember all they have to do is get it close enough for a field goal here dropping back it's Beck he wants a big play here late and it's incomplete and the final drive of the game comes up empty T final score 25 georgia4 [Applause] for for e the Los Angeles Coliseum a place traveler calls home in the crowd loves to fight on when supporting the USC Trojans there's nothing quite like a great rivalry matchup in college football the bitterness the intensity the lifetime of memories that will come as a result of what we're about to see in this one as we'll see the number eight team in the country the Notre Dame Fighting Irish taking on the 25th ranked team in the land the USC Trojans for EA Sports college football I'm ree Davis joined here in the booth as always by David poock and Jesse Palmer guys let's tee this one up and the Trojans will booed away to start the game on the move from inside is five really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there and make the stop at the 19 so Notre Dame's offense takes the field to start this game off so much history and pageantry in this rivalry guys but the trophy to juwel chele is a little bit under the radar it is it's beautiful to look at but I think people are always just focused on these two blue blood programs Notre Dame USC this is inter conference national championship and Heisman implications seemingly always on the line late in the year when these two teams play always so cool Coast to Coast something matters something on the line you're right this game is always fun to watch the JW chele crying play action throws to the wide out complete to the left and he's knocked down immediately but not before he moves the chains here come the Irish again this time doing it through the air and getting a little balance right we talked about how they like to be physical and they like to run the football and when you get that balance going man it makes it easy to call plays start to settle in everything looking good on offense they'll go to the ground really nice stop there from this senior leader there have been many memorable games in this rivalry it was memorable for Notre Dame last year not so much for SC as the Trojans got blown out no and Notre Dame a team that we've seen in the playoff in recent years and they want to get there consistently to do that they've got to win rivalry games like this you're going to play a big time opponent like USC with all that talent and that coaching staff you're going to have to play at a very high level last year David they put the stop down on the coach they did they used that big chele and laid the hammer and took care of business and you've seen Notre Dame have these years now really good Seasons but we want to see him build on and do multiple Good Seasons in a row that means beating your rival beating USC consistently see what the Irish have today grab near the marker it's Lo and they wrap him up but not before he gets enough on the catch for the first down okay listen running backs are not just running backs anymore you're going to be a wide receiver in today's football and a great job sneaking out of the back field getting the football letting them get some positive yardage this Notre Dame offense carving it up they're working with another first down looking to move it through the air finds his man it's Thomas and he runs through one tackle and picks up a few I think that receiver really had two choices there catch the ball or he was going to wear it in his chest yeah he's going to be maybe taking an ice bath after too many of these Crow routs he catches them in the body like that this quarterback has a cannon arm the receiver found the soft spot in the zone and man the quarterback gave give him no choice and that'll be enough to give Notre Dame a first down this is a guy that can find you the hidden yardage that play he just pushes the pile to get that first down this crowd bringing the energy and noise early quarterback touch pass on the Jet Sweep will get him a couple on that one second and eight coming up cross country rivalry between these old foes it started because new br's wife wanted to go to California late in the season and the next chapter unfolds today that sounds perfect my wife wanted to do same thing I would do happy wife happy life it's always interesting to hear how these rivalry trophies come about but I know one thing USC Notre Dame every year Palmer is appointment television it is my brother Billy played for Notre Dame be honest I used to get jealous watching him play against the Trojans whether it was at coliseum or whether it was at Notre Dame this is one of the best rivalries in all of college football the one that I wish I could have been a part of this opening drive methodical efficient they'll snep it for the ninth time on Third and short they'll try to power their way ahead and he gets it out past the sticks and Notre Dame will have a first down you know this is a running back who wants the ball and he wants the off to run through him really nice job there on the third down of this opening drive for his offense I can't wait to see what kind of game this guy's going to have Notre aame coming to the line with another first down he's going to pass got it in the middle it's Evans just a quick Rhythm throw there and really good use of the tight end yeah good use of the big fell I mean go through the prodctions real quick you can't find anything get the easy G take a shot down the field all the time take those shots later but take those easy wideopen opportunities to get some positive chunks from the gun they'll try to impose their will made a little something out of that Ronnie picked up a couple down to the [Applause] 14 boy they' love to move the sticks here and take a shot at it on first goal on Third and short they'll ride the running back here and that'll be enough to give Notre Dame a first down looks as if we have an injury on that last play and we'll take a break to check him out now the crowd responding in the Red Zone trying to help this defense on the the ground it's price HS his way ahead for about three it's down at the [Applause] eight going to work on second down in the red zone is still some ground to cover to pick up that first down they'll run it from the gun draged down at the six after a pick up [Applause] two tied quarters deep in the Red Zone but they can pick up a first down without scoring third down back to throw it's Leonard and they fail to hook up on third down yeah and third and short that choose not to run low the football I think a lot of that has to do with they know they're in field goal range they can take with three points on the [Applause] board they'll try to put three on the board as a field goal unit comes on and he'll try it from the right hash and the angle shouldn't be too bad from this distance and it's no good he missed it kicker couldn't quite get it through and the score board Remains the Same you can't miss opportunities like that you're playing on the road in a hostile but you're trying to seize momentum right out of the gate you get a nice drive to start the game and then you miss the field goal you don't get any points to show for that if they're going to win this one guys they've got to take advantage of those types of opportunities caught in the back field it's Jordan and the defense had that one well covered just a short game there this rivalry nearly a 100 years old now guys dating back to when new rney had made the Irish how and Howard Jones had done the same for the Trojans so many names and then if you go recent I mean everybody remembers the bush push and just so many great games in this matchup every year it seems like the game means a lot and obviously Conor you add a TR just it's way it's like the greatest players to ever do it I mean Joe Montana for Notre Dame Marcus Allen his highman trophy with the troan and you're right we could go on and on and on and it always seems like those guys play their best best games in this rivalry Classic this is where you make the money on the drive ball at the 30 it's third and short to the ground to try to move the chains the Trojans get up for the first down hard to imagine this is only their first drive of the game but their defense was on the field for virtually an entire quarter so guys there's a lot of pressure on this offense here to convert this third down so their defense can stay on the sideline and get their win back it's it's first and 10 from the 31 they go to the ground makes it pass the marker finally run out of bounds but he has his hense rolling with a first down pick up the first down on the ground like that and it would make Sam bam Cunningham prow all right I'm going to need a little education give me give me some context on Sam bam Cunningham he was a great powerful hard-nosed running back for some of those great croan teams of John McCay looking for room it's O'Neal and a good solid pick up before the defense Cuts him [Applause] down it has been all defense all the time in the early going as we wrap up the first quarter and the stats certainly reflect that let's see if the offenses can find a little rhythm here in the [Applause] second hand off from the gun smashes through he's run out of bounds but a big play on that one and it'll be a first down when the running back gets going and gets aead of steam like that so hard to get to the ground that's why you Blitz that's why you bring pressure that's why you bring more guys in the box so you get him before he gets going once he got going you could tell it was hard to get a hand on him hard to get him to the ground pre- snap motion quarterback trying to get a read got it behind the line it's O'Neal and the defense settled in to stop that one for a short game they were able to get the ball to the running back in space but that space just evaporated a great job by the defense man it's tough to get those guys on the ground they're so used to being having the football as running backs and making plays and being Dynamic so usually one guy not going to get him to the ground you want many guys swarming to the football trying to get that elusive guy on the ground fires to the big fella and that is good versatility there and a big hit from the backer in pass coverage so an example of a tight end do doing a little unheralded work to set up a much better third down situation and I like the QB here re I like the decision where I understand let's get this football out let's get some positive yards and then get to third down and we can still have a better situation now because we got rid of the football and took the yards up there and he's brought to the ground but not before he gets it up for the first down and as a defense that's why you want to avoid third and short moving forward it's really hard to defend that slant that's a bang bang play the offense knows they can execute in their sleep defense will have to do better early in the drive moving forward he'll do it himself not much working there it'll be second and nine well the QB decided to keep it on that one and listen if you had his athleticism you'd want to keep it too almost every time they run these types of option plays but he's just going to have to do a good job of understanding when to hand it off when to pitch it and try to keep this defense on their heels and read his keys he's got a lot of talent just got to make sure he's making the right decisions moving forward got it takes it to the house touchdown Trojan and it feels good to land that first big punch against a rival doesn't it no doubt in a game like this too you just want to be executing at a high level early so David that's got to feel great getting on the board first and settles everyone down all the nerves all the emotion of this round rry game now everybody can kind of settle in cuz you know you already got a touchdown on the [Music] board lining up to tack one more onto that lead and the extra point is good and it's seven nothing so it's an 80 yd drive and they close the deal with a 16 yd throw for the touchdown kickoff team is on the field they'll try to drive this one deep he'll take the return and try to improve the field position and the returner goes down nerame has the ball and ready to get moving we talk about settling for points but sometimes when you have to settle for nothing David it can be demoralizing yeah and it can definitely be frustrating and I think it leads you to say maybe I go for it more but Jesse I think this offense just needs to put another drive together and just finish thr yeah and and be a little bit less predictable too especially as they get closer and closer down to the endone they got nothing on the last play at second and 10 back to throw it's Leonard he's got his man they stop him almost immediately short gain there and still a little ground cover pick up the first complete some of these throws early you're setting up the hitch and go later on you can pump fake that and the receiver can p wet right up the sideline that might be a home run play for the offense this is the type of play that can give the offense momentum third and short from inside the 20 oh he's ready to take a shot brings it down on the right side hit the gas kid wide open thee slippery slide find his way and ran away from the crowd into the end zone touchdown Notre [Applause] Dame that was a lightning fast drive that ends with a touchdown and you can string a few more drives like that together man we might as well get our popcorn out because we're going to get a lot of scoring [Applause] on to attempt the try bangs it through for an extra point quick strike offense on that three playay scoring drive and they get it in with a huge play and 80 yd touchdown [Applause] pass all tied up and just about set to kick it away K one away 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 this Trojan offense is ready to go back to work got the quick completion and just a short safe pass play they pick up a few they're trying to throw the wide receiver screen to pick up that first down but the defense just too much speed getting to the ball carry on that one on second down will they go back to the ground game they'll Run play action makes the catch it's Robinson he'll move it up to the 37 yd line and it'll be a first down and when you're running the ball well QBs love going to play action you get the linebackers starting to suck up closer to the line of scrimmage they're keying on those running backs and it just makes catch so much easier for these quarterbacks and receivers quarterback on the keeper they knock him down right there I don't think the quarterback made the right read on that play I know they're asking a lot of this QB he's got a lot to focus on with the pass game and all the different types of runs that they have in their playbook but on that play there that pre-nap look told me to hand it off they'll line up for a second down play On The Run it's O'Neal they can rely on this guy to pick up solid yardage when they need it and he's out to the 43 just a simple power play again not sexy run the ball up the middle physicality offensive line gets to assert themselves run block what they love to do this pays dividends down the road that they for as they come to the line on Third and short from the 43 I wonder if they already know they'll go for it if they don't make it here complete to the left and he was loose and in the open field and on his way a tremendous pick up on that one these two guys just on the same wavelength they make clutch connections all the time and that's practice man that's all summer that's all spring just so many hundreds and hundreds and thousands of balls where you know exactly when that guy's going to break you know he's a stud you're going to feed him especially on these third down situations hard running there he stopped him just short of the first down but it will be second and inches coming up and they'll come to the line just needing a few chain links for a first down the back goes in motion looking for a man it's Moss nowhere close on that one as he got drilled trying to deliver the football and now they face third down that's how you blow up the screen passer here on defense you got to hit the quarterback fast for it's the incompletion it's third down now and they ought to be able to get off one more play before the two-minute warning looking to throw for it catch in the middle it's Branch they'll bring him down but not before he put people in the spin [Music] cycle and the Trojans with the first and 10 he's looking to throw it he's got it and still on his feet that completion will take it inside the four and the offense is threatening well they execute the out and how about the arm strength by the QB that was an absolute bullet on that completion going to work in the Red Zone they can't pick up the first down without getting it into the end zone they'll move the running back to try to force the defense to adjust and he's going to take it into the end zone touchdown Southern C and this offense right now they're doing some damage through the air that's now their second passing tou 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 [Music] today they'll try to add another to their lead and the pat gives him a 14-7 lead 76 yds on the drive for the touchdown and they cap the drive with a four yd touchdown pass the kickoff team on the field as they'll send this one [Applause] away he'll bring it back from inside his SP and they'll haul down the returner to start us on the next drive here come the Irish back on offense after standing on the sideline and watching that long touchdown Drive they really need to put something together to give their defense a rest and that's a real thing man like you played a lot of plays you get worn out you need a chance to go Deon Cress on the sideline get some option Palmer now it's on this offense yeah this is the definition of complimentary football cuz it's a two-prong problem you've got to score points and answer you've also got to take your time and give your defense an opportunity to get their win offenses are doing such a great job now with so putting so many wide receivers on the field that they get good matchups and they just attack you to make big plays it's a first down they'll stop the clock to reset the chains offense Up Tempo he wants to throw quickly to the tie down and he might be known for run pits but that was a sure and heavy tackle on the tight end there's a timeout called as this offense tries to find a way to draw a little closer here comes the offense on second down to the air it's Leonard fires a bullet now it's picked off going the other way and he's got roomed and he's going to take it all the way back touchdown Trojans look I know it's only the second quarter but we're starting to see a pretty significant Gap developed between these two teams right now now no doubt when your defense is scoring your offense is scoring good things happening for your ball Club this defense on point reading their Scouting Report making big [Applause] [Applause] [Music] plays P unit on the field and the Point pushes the lead to [Applause] 14 so they got the touchdown and as they kick off really important for the defense to shut them down here returner will field it and try to get some field position nice job by the kickoff team everybody stayed in their lanes and they'll stop him at the 16 M Dame has the ball and ready to get moving getting late here in the first half they'll have a chance to make this a one possession game and the offensive play caller here has to really be dialed in it's important down two possessions Dave that they're able to score some points you got to call your best stuff in this two-minute situation and it's such a good opportunity to cut into a onore game create that momentum get some good juices going for the second half because obviously you know you built yourself a little bit of a deficit you need some good things to happen and it needs to happen on this possession on second down he's looking down field caught close to the marker it's Thomas a quick tackle made but he's got plenty for the first down that's going to wrap up the first half here and now we join Kevin with the halftime update phyas what an environment there today all the animosity and Flatout hatred that comes with a good oldfashioned rivalry game on display in that first half and I get it a lot of coaches will say the difference between winning and losing comes down to stopping big plays and getting big plays but if you ask me it's more about how good you are on third down and how efficient you are in keeping drives alive those two stats can help you break the will of even the best defenses and help you come out on top with that let's throw it back to the guys to see how the battle between USC and Notre Dame plays out Notre Dame will kick it off to start the second half KCK and no chance at a return here they'll start this drive at their own 25 and guys USC has the ball back and sending the offense onto the field they keep it on the ground to open the third Works ahead for a couple they'll stop him at the 27 picked up two yards on that last one they need eight on second down to throw it's Moss missed his receiver there it's incomplete Ball's at the 27 this offense facing a third and long from the gun wants to pass looking left got him and nobody's close he's Off to the Races and they pick up of better than 30 yards on that completion before the defense brings him down defense what are we doing you can't miss that guy how are you going to leave the big fella wide open you can't act like you didn't see him line up you know where he is knew coming into the game he's a weapon that had to be a coverage bu the Trojans want to crank the tempo smashes through that play just never had a chance they knock him down for a loss of five and that's a great job by the defense understanding exactly the situation understanding to stay home play sound no matter who gets the football we're going to run to the football hard we're going to cage the football be disciplined nice job by the defense the give to the running back from the shotgun nowhere to run on that one he loses four on the carry man what a play by that defensive lineman you you could say he was channeling his inner poock and that's what defensive lineman do big fast one of the most athletic players on the field getting in the back field just beautiful you know you could have shown a little humility there and said a Shucks or something a Shucks or something on Third and long doesn't need to take the check down almost intercepted and what a momentum swing that could have been but they still force a fourth down I tell you what I don't know if the offense was expecting man coverage that time third and long and field goal range you're expecting it to be Zone instead they lock them up manto man everybody on an island everybody won they get the in completion Now setting up fourth and they're going to head out the lineup for a field goal oh that one will leave a mark no good penalty marker on the field and the kicker going to get another it this time a little closer you must protect the kicker when he's in a defenseless position like that that penalty is going to give the offense a first down moving the running back forcing the defense to adjust caught behind the line it's O'Neal they get it down to the seven on that pass play in Prime position for a score nice job by the running back catching the football and understanding where the first down marker was I got to go get that first down did a nice job on and the Trojans are flying down the field a first down run in the Red Zone he pushes it forward all the way to the 2yd line brings up Ang we'll see if the offense can punch it in on second and goal he'll keep it himself he works his way ever closer all the way down to the one yd line you know this offensive line they've just got to hold their blocks a little bit longer this offense likes to run their quarterback undesigned plays and if you can just give him a little crease he can take it the distance but they couldn't get it done there they've moved it right to the edge and they need one more yard for the touchdown on third down he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple man if I'm quarterback right now after this long of a drive down this close I'm going for a touchdown here p and I get that but I've worned this defense out man I'm going to go for the touchdown right here and if I miss they got to go the whole length of the field to score a touchdown fourth down and goal from the three The Playbook is pretty much wide open here he is denied stopped just short of the goal line pushed his way to the one and could go no further and they'll turn it over on down the give to the tail back and more yards after contact oh look out there he goes the 40 inside the 30 10 touchdown Fighting Irish he ran through tackles like water through dude 99 yards on one carry he almost broke the 100 yard mark on one stinking carry nice job you can see the speed nobody can catch him what a big run [Applause] ready to try the point after and the P will draw them one point closer if only it were always this easy for the offensive coordinators One play big chunk yardage foot points on the board just like that about to kick it away after scoring the touchdown he'll start the return inside his spot nice job executing all of the assignments as they put a stop to that return at the 22 this Trojan offense is ready to go back to work he'll bull it on the read he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three how about the the defensive end understanding football understanding that I got to keep outside contained I'm responsible for the quarterback good job playing his responsibility and how about getting that sucker on the ground he's a pretty good athlete to be able to Corral him tackle him right in the middle of the field and get him to the ground touch pass on the Rock he breaks a tackle really nice stop there from this senior leader and these little touch passes man they're just the easiest completions ever for quarterbacks Palmer I bet you love being able to just Flip It Forward that counts as to your completion percentage which is good and then it's all run after the catch so pretty easy for a QB you wouldn't have been the only All-American in this booth David if I were allowed to put have Push passes when I was playing quarterback I'll tell you that it is so hard to defend it's so hard to seal that edge especially when this guy's Full Speed Ahead cleaning around the every defense in the country talks about getting offenses in predictable third and long situations where I can bring on more speedsters and I know the pass is coming so I can have more success the Trojans will putt this one away first time today we've seen a punter go to work slips through the line they make the stop on the return but there is laundry on the field let's get the call fouling the kicker defense the officials offer the deal and the coach accepts it they will take the penalty out of the gun the running back has it the ball pops out defense coming up with a huge fumble recovery and he's brought down and this defense gets the ball back for it to offensive players when they got the ball in their hand they're trying to make plays right trying to make you miss there's nothing better than closing that Gap and sticking that head right in that guy's chest and causing a fumble couldn't order better field position for this offense the offense showing motion from the tight end trying to get a read on the D leaves it with the running back and I think they'll give him two on that one second and eight coming up the big defensive tackles in the middle they're not always the best pass rushers but they are strong and I say Country Strong they put their hands on you you feel it they lock people out on the line of scrimmage they create separation they wrap running backs up and usually they don't get out of the midst of those big boyss on the move it's Leonard quick strike complete and they get to him and knock him down to prevent a big game Hey listen on offense just take what the defense gives you quarterback looks out wide sees the DB way off of the receiver throw him the easy hitch pass you'll take that completion third and short from the 26 pretty easy field goal range but they'd love to pick up the first they'll try to get it through the air immediately fires to the middle just outside the red zone as they pick up the first down they'll spot it at the 22 man he had to get rid of that thing I don't even think he had time to find the laces but he picks up the first down yeah that's a great job you know third and short the defense is bringing pressure he sees the pressure gets the football out and gets just enough for the first down coming out on first down with the play fake makes the grab on the left they'll get it down to the 8 yd line on that throw and catch and the defense is backed up against the wall it's really hard when you're getting those predictable situations defenses are sitting on the sticks receivers have to understand where that first down marker is heads up play knows for the first down marker get in there and get it off the play fake skips away from pressure they'll wrap him up and he didn't find the same kind of Running Room this time as he did on the previous play Man Down on the play as the officials take a break to let him be checked out they keep pushing forward now back to work on second and goal from the six he'll do it himself they get him on the ground at the three y line but this defense is taking some punches well they try to go quarterback design run on that play but the defense just not buying it nice job everybody playing downhill and making attack close of the line of SCM they love to make this short field payoff with a touchdown instead of settling for three but it is third and goal they'll try to pound their way in they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one [Applause] [Applause] what a day it's been on the ground for these two guys and they just seem to get stronger as the game goes along as we take a look at the [Applause] numbers when you're dealing with a deficit like this all about somebody stepping up to make a play and you might as well start here in the fourth quarter looking downfield it's Leonard fires to the end zone and he's got it touchdown Irish tou tell you what as a defensive back as a defensive player you know down here near the goal line I got to get tight on my guys I can't give away the easy stuff like that too easy near the goal line for that pitch and catch [Applause] lining up for the Pat the ex point and no problem on that extra point and we have a tie ball game here in the fourth [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a coming down the stretch in the fourth and we are all tied up about set to kick it away and he takes this from inside the five really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there and make the stop at the 19 and guys USC has the ball back and sending the offense onto the field quarterback on the keeper may not be the most memorable play of the day but it's important as he gets him out to the 25 yd line and it's so hard to contain this guy with all those options he has and the experience at the quarterback spot but nice job by the defense limiting the damage didn't give up a huge game offense gets set for second down here's the handoff tackled after picking up the first down well the defense is on their heels right now they're going to have to find a way to stop this guy he's got a head of steam boy he is hard to bring down finally some signs of life from this offense which has done nothing in the second half it's first and 10 they're getting this guy lathered up they get him at the 42 but he picked up 10 there and I love these offensive coaches going right back to your guy I believe in you just because you fumble doesn't mean I'm not going to give you the yeah he's repaying the favor right now to this coaching staff as well and doesn't it just seem like he's running with a little bit more juice he looks like he's ticked off takes the hand off it's O'Neal and they try the middle of this Stout defense and they rise to the challenge great team defense on that run play everybody doing their job people winning their one-on ones D linemen staying in their gaps linebackers and DBS filling you just can't do it better got stuffed on first down it's second and 10 from the gun the ground game he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three and that's what makes this defense so difficult to run against they've got guys up front that just push offensive linemen backwards they basically L push the blockers right into the lap of that running back they line up and it is a long way to the sticks from here on Third and long he's going to have to turn one loose downfield they play that screen nicely he tried to find his way to the marker but it'll be fourth down they didn't quite get that route run deep enough to pick up the first down now they've got a fourth and short and I think everybody at home tends to yell at their television set why aren't you getting past the first down marker why did you run your route short defense did a good job knowing where that was but now fourth down offense has to make a decision it'll go out of bounds and we'll see where they mark it it's going to be right around the 35 here come the Irish back on offense how big is this drive scored a touchdown the last time and it's intercepted oh what a big play in a tie game and it's going to be a pick six touchdown USC and at this juncture of the game one play is going to make the difference it's going to be a momentum changing play who's going to come up with it that time Paul get the pick six to break the top and the defense you're thinking get a stop get a stop this is late in the fourth quarter this is how we're going to get a win our offense is going to go down the field no they get the turnover they force it and they get to the end zone to create the massive gamechanging play lining up to tack one more onto that lead the extra point is good and now in the fourth they're up by a touchdown and an extra [Applause] point they're lining up to kick it off after the pick six and that defense will come out feeling it looks as if the returner will try and field this one he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 M Dame has the ball and ready to get moving off the play fake on first down it's complete really confident throw and catch there big pick up and they have a first down well it's a nice job too of a quarterback after the play fake there getting his eyes down the field he had to get that to his tight end quickly knowing he wasn't going to have a lot of space to run with after the catch Notre Dame lines up quickly looking to throw it's Leonard gets it out quickly looks as if we have an injury on that last play and we'll take a break to check him out now on second down he's looking to throw quickly complete makes the grab and it's enough for the first down before he's drag to the ground I just love quarterbacks that aren't greedy and that aren't always trying to throw the Home Run ball right second down you're in your own end of the field the guy you want to throw to is not open just find the bat he'll go do something positive with it this guy is a weapon and you got to find him in the passing back he'll come out throwing on first down right down the middle all kinds of room to throw that one in there and he found all kinds of room and got it down to the 28 wow the quarterback knew he had to get that one to his receiver quickly on the in R did you see the velocity on that throw most important part of a clutch Drive piece together some first Downs get in position and here they are on First and 10 looking to throw it again snagged in the middle it's Evans good job running that route to get past the sticks because he got nothing after the cat I don't know who on defense is going to cover this guy honestly he could be a problem for this defense over the middle of the field in the passing game Notre Dame ready to go with another first down the give out of the gun and maybe he'll get back to the line of scrimmage but no more than that it's hard to run on a defense that comes off the ball like that and runs to the football like that good luck no holdes any they got nothing on the last play it's second and 10 going to run it it's lob picked up maybe a yard it's down at the [Applause] 16 this crowd knows they have to bring it in big moments and one of those has arriv on third down going up top had to throw it before he wanted just tried to drop a little floter in there and it's incomplete and finally the defense is able to get some pressure on this quarterback theyve been trying all game long different ways to affect him weren't able to get there but on that play because of the pressure it affected his accuracy that's why the ball Falls in trailing by a possession they need to keep the ball they'll try to convert on fourth down and makes the grab in the end zone touchdown Notre Dame and this quarterback really does a great job of seeing the defense and seeing what kind of coverage they're in and I think when this offense goes empty and they spread the defense out it just makes it so much more simple for the QB to see what the defense is doing pre snap and then post Snap you could tell he's playing in a great Rhythm right now because he's seeing the field and these empty sets are really helping him out now they'll line up for what they hope is automatic and that extra point was good and we are deadlocked here in the fourth so a drive there of 82 yds and they close the deal with a 16 yd throw for the touchdown after that latest answer tied things up just about set to kick it away again he'll bring it out from inside inside his own 10 not a lot of space to be found good Hustle by the coverage team and they stop him at the 21 first down here with time for maybe one more play until the two-minute warning and he had it for a second but it just dribbled out of his hands well they had the matchup they wanted they had the running back working one-on-one with the linebacker on that angle route but he couldn't reel it in second down here in maybe they've got time to get one more snap off before the two-minute warning the play action fake unloads to the wide out a strike downfield and they'll pick up the first down and Mark it at the [Music] 47 his offense lines up feeling awfully good after that big play trying to find his man on first down and this will be picked off a costly turnover in a tie game just a small return but a big play as they have it now at the 45 if I'm a QB coach I'm grabbing my quarterback right away and be like listen we're going to get another opportunity it's the fourth quarter it's a tie game our defense is going to get a Stop Force you got to get your confidence back you got to get back in this ball game we're going to need you again down the road you are not done here come the Irish back on offense On The Run it's Leonard going to take a shot he's got it inside the 25 touchdown Fighting Irish and they've moved out front here in the fourth what a great game tied late in the ball game who's going to make the big play they come up with it late Take the Lead nice execution it's hard to execute in these moments people get tight the score is tied late in the game I don't want to mess up but this offense does worry about messing up they put the ball in the end zone and take the lead they'll line up for the extra point and at this juncture every Point matters the extra point is good and now in the fourth they're up by a touchdown and an extra point that drive not too taxing on the Playbook One play put it in the end zone just like that almost ready to kick it away after scoring the touchdown looking for an alley from inside his own 10 he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic that they get him on the ground at the 20 his Trojan offense is ready to go back to work they'll throw it on first down and he just flat dropped it I think he wanted to run before he secured it well at this point of the game the defense now is substituting their personnel they've got their dime package in the game there's a lot of DBS out there they know this offense is going to have to throw the football to climb back in this game after that last incompletion here's second and 10 from their own 20 misfired on the last play they'll go back to the air they'll throw it to the back on the screen the offense gets a quick timeout at this point every second is precious well a nice Gainer on that running back screen and how about the offensive line getting downfield and getting blocks to really help out the back find some space to go to work grabbed over the middle it's Jordan and he'll move his way forward to the first down they'll mark it at the 35 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 now they've got to hustle to the line and get set back to the air one more time pick off taking it the other way touchdown Irish and this defense coming up with points of their own what an interception return and man the offense has the lead has the football all you got to do is run the clock out maybe be conservative run the football they chose to throw and the defense makes them pay winding up to add another KCK is on for the extra point and the extra point is true and they have a two touchdown lead up 14 in the fourth they're about to kick it away and the defense probably can't wait to get back out there after the pick six bringing 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 [Music] 14 off the play fake on first down to throw the sh hands it's branch and a good job in coverage there as they stop it after just a few well here's the problem offensively because you're trailing by so much so late in the game the defense now is going to be playing big Zone coverages they're going to allow you to throw the ball underneath in the middle of the field rally to make a tackle and bleed the clock it's going to be hard now for this offense to claw their way back in this one back to throw it's Moss fires to the wide out he's got it and the tackle was made but not before that completion gets them 30 plus the offense will use a timeout C stopped with 22 seconds left going up top on first down got it in the middle it's Robinson timeout called by the offense we have 18 seconds left and defensively this is exactly what you want right you got the big lead so you can play Big Zone coverages just keep the ball in front of you keep your eye on the quarterback rally to the football gain tackle you're going to win this game and he'll Chuck it into the deep seats there and save the down nobody getting open there we'll see if they go back to the air after the incompletion it's third and five shotgun snap on third down going for it all and he's got it great touchdown here but it would take a miracle of Lazarus like proportions to come back now and that sure feels like too little too late this offense they needed to score and execute faster but there's not enough time to me man this feels like this one's h [Music] getting set for the point after exra and it's up and good as they draw Just a Touch closer a very efficient five play scoring drive and they finish with a big play a touchdown strike from the 46 lining up for the onside kick just a few seconds to play and they will need a miracle they'd hope to get that thing bouncing around but the hands team is able to Corral it yeah and this is why you put your hands team on the field most of the time when you know it's coming and you put those guys that are great catchers of the football the first guys what do they do they go block they go blow somebody up the next guys catch the football secure it get your butt on the ground and most of the time when you do this the ball game is over [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] e [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] e Dallas Texas and the Texas state fair and for the better part of a century the Sooners and Longhorns have defined conferences national titles and how regions of the country are perceived based on the outcome of this game when these two meet everybody pays attention this match up today part of the lifeblood of the sport a rival game where the results will be remembered for a lifetime as we'll see the number three team in the country the Texas Longhorns taking on the 14th ranked team in the land the Oklahoma Sooners for EA Sports college football ree Davis with you alongside David Pollock and Jesse Palmer time to get this game started [Music] [Applause] the long horns will put total leather to crank us up here he comes from inside his own five he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic but they get him on the ground at the 20 so Oklahoma's offense will take the first swing of the game guys this rivalry is a throwback aren't many left like this with the stum te divided right down the middle so much tremendous history between these two teams and David it St seems in this game you throw up the stats you throw up the standings you throw out the records and this is just a different energy when we see these teams going it's because you bring in the hatred they don't like each other the fan bases don't like each other Texas Oklahoma it always means a [Applause] lot the Sooners come to the line in the hurry up [Applause] he leaves it with his back and you can forget running in the middle against this defense play this game in the shadow of big Tech you can get a corny dog out there play carnival games and see one of the great rivalries in the sport David it's crazy you literally walk outside of the stadium and there are thousands upon thousands of people they don't even realize a football games going on Jesse they're just having a good time you're right it's it's part of what makes this game so special the Red River rivalry there's just so much fanfare there's so much tradition and remember with bragging rights on the line this thing just means more and the defense makes the immediate tackle but he has enough for the first down they flexed out that tight end a little bit and you know the tight end's always open always open quarterback's best friend and this guy's a problem Rees he's a matchup problem because he's too big for DBS to cover and he's too fast for linebackers to cover showing you his athleticism butd grabed behind the line it's Burks and a good job of coverage by that defense just a short pick up yeah and I tell you what when you stick these fast suckers in the slot they don't have to be big but you get those guys that are so quick in the slot they can get great matchups and I can get the ball to them quick because they're such Dynamic play running game worked on first down let's see if they go back to it on second down [Applause] they'll run it out of the shotgun nice solid form tackle from this sophomore you know runs like this often times are like a boxer in a boxing match obviously it's not a knockout punch but these are body blows as the game goes on these small gains are going to turn into longer runs third and short from the 44 and we might know if they plan to go for it on fourth down by what they call here they'll try to pick it up on the ground fights his way for a couple but stops short of the marker it's fourth and one and the Sooners will try to pin them back with the punt he's going to try to flip the field with this one a fairly short distance here toward the sidelines not not his best work not going to get a chance to field that one and the punt will bounce out of bounds the kicker defense so the decision has been made and the coach will take the penalty man oh man those types of penalties just drive defensive coordinators crazy was fourth down now first down they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one so first down didn't exactly go according to plan let's see what they can dial up on second down Reese I got him right where I want okay I'm going to throw the football now I can get back on shotgun let's forget the running game stuff we're going to play a little pitching catch and see how good that secondary [Applause] is he'll keep it himself and they're able to shove him to the turf as they stop him for a short gain they go with the option quarterback keeps it himself and look we've seen this guy on tape guys break these tackles and take up the distance this offense should keep dialing up these option plays don't let that short gain by the QB prevent you from running this scheme in your playbook looking to throw it's Arnold and as he throws he took a hit as he threw it and couldn't deliver the football it's incomplete and fourth Down's coming really nice third down sub defense there that time it's third and long they're expecting pass and they're mixing up their looks they're trying to change the picture pre- snap to post Snap to confuse the quarterback now forcing the incompletion setting up fourth they'll try to get something out of this drive and kick the field goal here on fourth down what a disappointment no good kicker tried to tack a few more on the scoreboard guys and couldn't do it well the upright playing the 12th man on defense knocking that ball down like it had a chance to be [Music] good here comes the Texas offense that 55 yd field goal attempt to win a Ry now to make matters worse they'll give it up first and 10 at the 38 the give to the back a confident tough efficient run gets it up to the 45 four this Red River rivalry has such a history of great finishes and the Longhorns pulled that one out last year David yeah they found a way to get it done and listen this rivalry means so much you think U Jesse has heard a little bit about this over the last year of course they have David I think both these teams because of how last year's game ended they knew this one was going to be a dog fight they were prepared to come in here and play 60 Minutes Plus to try to get the W brought to the ground but not before get up for the first down and listen the offensive line has to do their job but a really good job by the 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 they'll snap it from the 47 on first down motion from the offense lost to throw on first down off the play fake lost the defense is wide open chopping up this defense and they've got it all the way down to the 23 they knew they could slip that tight end behind the backers with that play action fil well it's because I can't win reys I I have to play the run you know all these rpos all these different things it makes me come up and use my eyes and play run and these tight end are so valuable to find space behind knew where he was going with the football the whole time because the big fella he's always open the inside handoff he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple man what a spectacular play by that defensive end to come up with the tackle there and you see those guys get off the football so fast most of these guys are 250 to 275 lbs but they get off the ball fast low in the offensive line but they have no chance to stop those guys as quick and as fast as they are takes a hand off it's Maxon they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one that linebacker was a heat seeking missile and the heat that he sought with the ball carry great job great field linebackers are making all the calls in the defense and understanding when I need to come through that Gap and come through with bad intention those guys are usually 245 lbs of heat seeking missile and the misconnection on third down and the offense got themselves in a tough situation third and long so hard to execute especially when the field starts the shrink but the good news is they got a field goal in their back [Applause] pocket here comes the field goal unit as he'll try to get the three this might be a little easier if it were straight on but a 43 y from the right hatch it's good and with that they break the seal on the scoring it's three nothing I'll tell you this is not easy place to play on the road especially at night time this crowd they get loud that's the way it's been so far but they have a nice drive to open it up were able to execute put themselves in field goal range not it through the uprights they did exactly what they needed to do taking a 3 nothing Le here early on the road that's impressive they'll kick it away after putting up a field goal on that last drive on the move from inside his five didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 now the Oklahoma offense will go back to work he'll pull it on the re and he's brought down after a nice game [Applause] guys it is Texas who holds the lead we've put one in the books Let's have a look at our game summary [Applause] Oklahoma they've switched into the field and we're ready to get things started here in the second oh offense has it at the 28 on first down takes a hand off and he's going right he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three don't you love energetic defenses that fly around and make things happen the ones that get in the back field the running back tries to go some where do you want him to go there there is nowhere to go nice job by the defense creating the tackle for a loss on first down the Sooners want to pick up the tempo [Applause] to the ground with the back gets it past the marker still on his feet at the 45 he flips his field in an instant and he's got him set up at the 20 this guy strikes fears into the hearts of every defensive coordinator David with that speed if you give this guy any open grasp man he's gone it's just silly look at the angles people trying to catch him but he's got so much juice he can outrun those angles and make enormous [Applause] plays the give to the back they'll pick up four second and Six coming [Music] [Applause] offense quick Tempo they move the tight end all over leaves it with the back he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three how frustrating is that you're that running back where were you supposed to go there was absolutely no Lane for him on that play a third and long coming up here to the air it's Arnold it's complete and he's into the end zone touchdown Oklahoma nice pitching catch this receiver and quarterback have done this thousands of times finds the open man throws a strike receiver does the rest gets into the end [Music] zone they'll try to attack one more on their score and the extra point is good and it's a four-point lead so that scoring Drive took only six plays and the Capper a 19 yd toss for the touchdown the kickoff team out there set to boed [Applause] away on the run from inside his own five he's not going to make it to the 20 as he's out of Bounds at the 17 so Texas has it again and here comes the offense guys that last trip a little disappointing having to take the three and I think Jesse you see so many offenses talk about getting yards and the tempo and all the stuff they do was a nice job moving the football but they got to get the end zone this time yeah and I think to do that they just got to be more physical at the point of attack get some push up front they need to be the best running team in this game to win solid pick up of four on first down it's second and six they'll leave it with him got her enough for the first down and wants more and a really nice run and pick up there before the defense avoid a disaster and stop the really big play well if at first you don't succeed try try again right it's been really hard for this offense in this game to run the football but they finally break off a big run there that could be the play they need to really generate momentum and get this run game done fires to the the tight end and they pick up just a few on that completion I like this tight end he does a really nice job on his route run he's been beating man coverage he can find the soft spots in zones you got to get him involved and here comes the offense on second down from the shotgun they'll run it that's what you expect from a senior don't give them any extra yards great tackle there well man there's some big hitting going on in the trenches right now this defense they take a lot of pride in stopping the Run let's keep our eye on them throughout the course of the game and see if they can contain this running attack how bold will they be on third down after that last run a little pre- snap eye candy for the defense and a missed opportunity on third down as the defense knocks it free and fourth down is coming up third and short like that on your own side of the field just looking for a quick hitter you're trying to get the ball out of your hand quickly but the timing completely off there for the offense and the ball falls in the Longs will line up to pun it [Applause] away he'll call for the fair catch here guys we'll get another look at this Oklahoma offense how about that blocking up run in that running game last time as they just walked it down for a touchdown David and the big boys up front doing their job opening holes The Backs making plays everything on the ground on that first drive work and we know that this is the identity this coaching staff wants for this team right they want to be the most physical team on the field let's see if they can keep it up the Sooners in the hurry [Applause] up they believe they can run right here that play just never had a chance they knock him down for a loss of five it's amazing how play by a defensive end in the back field can really swing the momentum not only of a series but of a game sometimes all you're trying to do is create negative plays to get them behind the sticks a little bit to get those sacks to get those tackles for a losses you see so much stunting in college football up front with the defensive line because you know once you get one of those plays you got the offense right where you want they line up with some serious work to do if they want to convert this one from the gun they'll try to impose their running game picks up just a few before he's brought down not really willing to take a risk there on Third and long there's a Timeout on the field tight game here late in the first half and the Sooners will putt it away on fourth down they'll look to pin him deep he'll bring it back it's Bolding this guy is a daring heart Return Man he's not going to settle for the fair catch a solid return gets a little bit of ground for the offense wants to throw on first down using the quick game I really like the slot receiver because of his shiftiness and you see that on his route run really really nice job creating ation for his QB blocked running and they'll try to get to the line warp speed for second down wants to throw it's yers got his man quickly and they reacted well to the completion but it was too late to keep him from getting the first down love the way he didn't just run to a spot he found the cushion in the zone and got himself open for the first down yeah and you're taught to find that space don't run right within a Zone Defender who's sitting there looking at the quarterback and looking at you so much creativity with routes now and being able to just have subtle moves One Way come back the other way nice job by the tight end finding that hole in the zone that's about as close as you can get to that marker and it will be second and just a few breaths away from the first down that wi we sleep on the outside's dangerous when you're playing Zone coverage it's really hard because you're not chasing him you can't really get hands on him you got to make sure you send more guys his Direction maybe slide those linebackers toward that wide receiver so you got a little more help on the outside he'll throw it catch in the middle it's Baxter and the completion gives him a fresh set of downs and keeps this drive moving a timeout is called as this offense tries to find a way to get more points on the board before the half not the most productive half for this offense so far but finally starting to get it in gear first and 10 gets it out fast well when you're running the drag route against man coverage like that as a quarterback you've got to put the ball out in front of your target when you do that you give the guy a chance to then Advance the football up the field pick up a first down like they did right there running out of time here in the first half they're going to have to be efficient to put some points on the board before the break on second down he'll let it fly grab behind the line it's golden the offense calls a timeout to stop the clock so with only seconds left in the half here comes the field goal unit and he'll try to make it two for two this time from 35 yds away right down the boulevard it's good now Trot off from the locker room after the field goal to close the half [Music] [Music] we played two quarters here time to go to Kevin Connors in our halftime update thanks so much guys and I need not tell you rivalry games always bring out a ton of emotion and no surprise we saw just that in the first half today and it's been said football is a game of inches and guess what based on the comparison between third down conversion rate today and the average yard per play how can you argue that I mean the low-lying fruit is to look at some of the explosive plays we've seen and panic but really this game is going to come down to which team is more efficient when they have the ball and how they play when it matters most that said let's get back to the field and our guys in the booth to see who comes out on top of this rivalry contest the sooner will kick it off to start the second [Applause] half he'll bring it back from inside his five didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 the longhorn sending the offense back onto the field low scoring first half but now an opportunity to get things off on the right foot here in the third quarter well and the good thing is you had time to go in the locker room you had time to discuss what they're doing what of our plan of action is now moving forward bmer they might have caught him off guard a little bit they know they should have made some adjustments yeah you had a chance to regroup and go back and think about okay where do we think we have our best chance of success in this game which side of the offensive line can we run to which guy can we throw to to hopefully now have a much better second half receiver on the Move gets the touch pass a strong tackle and wrap up from the Junior [Music] [Applause] they'll try to move the chains on Third and short from the [Music] 27 free snap Motion in the backfield back to pass it's yers oh they really could have used that catch their physical pass defense it brings up a fourth down well after struggling so much in the first half you thought they would have made some adjustments here at halftime to see if they can open up this passing game but early on in the second half they're just not really able to get that done incompletion on third down in your own end you're expecting them to punt fourth down and the punt team sends it the other way he gets a block working his way on the return up to the 40 yd line before he stopped here come the Sooners ready to go on offense and then a lowc scoring game like this one David every possession is magnified and I think more than anything it just gets frustrating and you got to put that behind you you got to see what this defense has been doing to be so successful power now use it against him yeah David I think for a play caller this is tough right it's like you have to G the perfect play on just to get it first down in these types of games I think you're just trying to get guys out in space see if a dude can break a tackle maybe that generates an explosive play and it breaks this trend good pick up there as he gets the first down and they'll Mark him at the 48 man who says you can't run up the middle anymore right everybody thinks I got to make big plays I got to go way out to the left way out to the right way out in space nope right down the middle nice blocking how about the running back you could tell the speed the wheels does a great job getting down the field making a huge rushing play they're going to ride this running back keeps the legs moving this defense has got to get better attack in the open field of game tackling because if you need three or four guys to bring a guy down have fun with [Applause] that the Sooners racing to the line in the hurry up now the play fake going downfield for the big play Pitch him in stride at the 10 touchdown sooner reeled it in and just made the house call these two have spent plenty of time together that was almost telepathic David no doubt it quarterbacks and wide receivers broke all off seon to get on the same page you can see he hits him in stride that's why he gets the touchdown [Music] he'll try to tack on one more and they kick it through for the extra point and they have an eight-point lead quick work on that scoring drive just four plays and they finish things off with a 44 yd touchdown pass the kickoff team out there and ready to go he'll start the return inside his SP nice job by the kickoff team everybody stayed in their lanes and they'll stop him at the 16 and here come the horns they've got it again on offense last time David it was one two three kick the last drive that three and out sometimes that puts your defense in a bad spot and you got to get a drive together here so you don't wear the defense out I just think daveid too predictable that last Drive they got to do something here to get this defense on their heels didn't get much done on that first play of the drive it's second and 11 wide out in motion grabbed in the back field it's balen oh how did you make that move he's run out of bounds but not before turning in a big pick up and moving the sticks for a first down and I love the idea of getting this guy screen throws because of his ability after the catch so nice job getting downfield getting a hat on hat and giving him a tunnel to run through they'll snap this one from the 30 on First and 10 wide receiver coming across in motion from the shotgun the hand off to the back at the 45 on it way and chunk plays are the name of the game and they get one here before the defense finally makes the Stop and busting big runs like this we always talk about the running backs but it's the big boys up front Paving their Lanes those receivers gluing on those DBS that make these plays really go for big yardage and how about those receivers not just the glamour of catching passes but doing some dirty work too no doubt when they get on those guys in the second level and get on those DBS that's when you break those big long runs to the ground he's got it again one step wrap Two Step squeeze this junior knows how to get him on the ground [Applause] after picking up a couple at second and eight out of the gun the inside handoff looking for a crease trying to impose their will on the ground as he stopped after a 5yd pickup from the 33 they've showed this for a lot of times especially in the first half now what do they do they show the formation pull some guys and run a counter back side beautiful play design way to adjust to the second and that last run leaves him with a third down well they keep it on the ground wide receiver shows motion a quick completion to the left looking for the first down offenses gain momentum with third down conversions like that they've got it at the 25 well we know this guy is special and because of that his quarterback is looking to him on critical down and distances there on that third down there was no question it wouldn't have mattered if he was single covered double covered man Zone that's where he was going with it and the Big Time playmaker outside picks up the first man that's a tough play to make when you're that far down the field and you you're trying to control your body and run as you're laying out that's a really great effort really good concentration and that is how you make your quarterback look really good the long horns will try to punch it in on first and goal they'll try to get it in with the run and he takes it in for the score touchdown Texas got to start cutting into this lead somewhere now the question will they have enough time but that's step one you got to get that first score you got to get back in the ball game and get some of that momentum back on your side you still got more work to do at step one [Music] accomplish they opt to go for two to try to tie it up right now trying to slam in he's got a nose for that goal line first he scored the touchdown now he makes his way in for the two-point [Music] conversion and we're all square as he's set to kick it away from inside the 10 yd line he'll bring it back he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 here comes the sooner offense back onto the field leaves it with the back out across the 20 to the 21 yd line a three yd gain small gain I know but again the defense knows he's going to run the football he's willing to run the football not just drop back and pass make him on the Run game you got to do a lot of this and the Sooners want to move quickly [Applause] [Music] the run to the left they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one goodness that happened fast he was in the back field before the ball was even snapped oh man adrenaline pumping heartbeating a little faster there is some intensity on that one a third down try for the [Applause] offense back to pass it's Arnold throws to the wide out On Target over the middle they make the tackle but not before he finishes off this third period with a big play if you like old school running games this has been the game for you and a couple of guys who starred through the first three periods can't wait to see how this fourth quarter is going to go and see who can come out on top in this Barn burer running to the left they pick up half of it it'll be second and five I I like it just frustrate the defense get that five to six yards make him honor the Run make him know that you're willing to run the football and run it effectively halfway there on first down it's second and [Applause] five he'll do it himself e Dro behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three one of the reasons this offense likes the option game with the quarterback is to use his speed and try to attack the perimeter of the field the defense though not having any of it you saw the contain on the play forcing him back in the middle of the field and they're able to Coral him for a huge [Applause] loss on Third and long try to convert through the air buys a little extra time the back scrambled around but the defense able to scramble him and turn it into a sack the number one job is to protect your quarterback and they weren't able to do it long enough that time this offensive line Rees they've got to do a better job communicating pre snap and try and figure out which people on defense are going to be rushing the passer right now this offense just looks confused up [Applause] front the Sooners will bring the punt team onto the field this will be the second time they've had to kick it away here's the fair Catch and he'll make it close to the 20 yd line and here comes the Texas offense back on the field looking for a crease it's maxter Nifty little dance step that's the kind of play that can really get you going as they get it out to the 36 this is an offense that really sees their identity is being able to run the football nice job there picking up the first down now from the 36 yd line it's first and 10 looking to throw it's yers he's got the tight end and he laid the lumber to stop him from getting the first down it's amazing how fluid and potent an offense can seem when you get a great pick up on first down and the tight ends a terrific place to go tight ends nowadays are kind of like cheat CS I mean they just know so much about right here seeing zone no one to sit it down boom positive yards nice positive play for this offense draged down to the turf but not before getting the first down this slot receiver is a guy the defense has to be careful of he runs good routes he's got some speed and if you're not careful this guy can gash you and the Longhorns will line it up on first and 10 they'll run it from the gun after the pick up of nine it's second and one kept it on the ground on first down now back to the line they'll put the tight end in motion the give to the bat on the move at the 30 what a good run there he has enough for the first down this offense all game long has been running really well and I'm really impressed by how well they've recruited at the running back position they've got some Dynamic players coming into the game at different points spelling each other keeping each other fresh and they're hurting this defense down to the 26 yd line and a first down movement here from the tight end hands it off got up for the first down and the defense finally makes the stop after the sweet run and good gain first down physicality wins football gam being able to run the football and create balance and and right here just chews up another first down gives you another chance to maybe continue to run the football and I feel like this guy too is just an explosive play waiting to happen his vision his quickness and he's got a burst if you give this guy just a crease he's going to hit it and right now he's doing some damage on this defense and this will be incomplete a big hit there forces second down and there's so much for a quarterback to think about stick it out in the belly do I pull it now when I pull it oh I got to get my feet set make an accurate throw to the right guy so a lot of things going on I think that you saw that led to a little bit of inaccuracy he's got it on the move they've got it down to the three yd line really well done on that throw and catch it's important on offense to get the tight ends involved in a passing game these are Big Fellas that can run this guy's a big Target so nice job on that play not a lot of ground to cover and not much to defend a big third down in the Red Zone dropping back it's yers makes the catch touchdown Lorn they move on top here in the four a score for the Big B here why are tight end so effective in the Red Zone well these AR the guys that are going to burn by you and go for 70 most of the time but when you can use their big boded frames threaten them to run the football and be a Blocker in the running game and now you secondary make that big [Applause] play they'll try to add another to their lead the extra point is good and now in the fourth there're up by a touchdown and an extra point 76 yds on the drive for the touchdown and they finish it up with a three yd scoring TOS lining up to cover the kick after that touchdown drive and he takes this from inside the five he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 first down here with time for maybe one more play until the two-minute warning looking to move it through the air he lobs one high down the left side it's complet a huge pick up and they'll do more than move the chains they'll move that thing more than 30 yd down the field before he's finally stop that kind of play will send a surge of energy through your offense now they've got it first and 10 inside the 40 he's going to pass the short hands it's burs really nice job there by both guys the throw and the catch to work that defense and get the first down defense what are we do do how are you going to let that guy one of the best receivers in the entire country be wide open like that you're just making it way too easy for the offense in search of that tying touchdown they've moved the chains a couple of times it's first and 10 Again quick strike complete quick timeout called by the offense after the play trying to preserve every minute possible well it's a great job by the receiver fighting back across the DB there to get to the inside side locate the ball and catch the sling looking for space it's achuck they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one well there's a statement by the defensive line first down play expecting run and they just dominated up front beat their one-on ones and force a tackle for a well one on that last one it's second and 11 looking to pass it's Arnold using the back as a receiver on the screen and he didn't get a big gain you want to call that play and probably want to get more yards but you could tell that was super close from seriously busting loose nice job running the screen getting the ball to your playmaker if you can just make one more guy miss that might have been huge in the gun and looking to throw on third down he makes a grab so close to that end zone he can almost taste it but it'll be first and goal for this offense when you got a weapon this good at tight end a quarterback you've got to look his way especially in this area of the field because remember it's the red zone where these windows are so small nice job getting the completion and picking up the first and this is the chance for this offense a first and goal fourth quarter trying to into the end zone for a touchdown and now just one point away from a to and great execution that is how it's done late in the football game now all you need is that extra point bring the kicker out there this is what you do just like practice knock it through the uprights tie this football game we might be looking at overtime [Music] soon this is supposed to be the easiest play in football except when there's this much pressure and the extra point was good and we are all tied up in the fourth we've got a Dandy going here all tied up in the fourth quarter about to kick it away he'll bring it out it's golden didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 biggest Drive of the game right here as we get close to the end of regulation will throw it on first down grabbed in the middle it's B the clock will stop with this timeout from the offense they'll get a chance to regroup on the sideline the completion short of the sticks it's second down running back goes in motion scanning the field it's yers gets it out quickly and he's knocked down immediately but not before he moves the chain come out on the field and we've got a D all tied up right in the fourth looking to go up top on first down caught over the middle it's Bond and they finally haul him down but not before the good catch and run that was a nice pick up running the drag route and finding that quiet soft spot in the zone yeah drag routes not only work against man coverage they work against zone two if you can find the soft spot the quarterback gets it to him early he can turn up field you saw that right there comes out throwing on first down he tries to take the top off catch and stride inside the 15 touchdown Texas and inside a minute to go they've got the lead that is just how the coach wants to draw it up take up all the clock score the go-ahead touchdown this one is all but [Music] over on to attempt the try the extra point is good and now in the fourth there're up by a touchdown and an extra point personal foul ring the kicker defense the officials offer the deal and the coach accepts it they will take the penalty they might want to consider driving this one through on the ground get him to touch it and get that clock running he'll take a knee it's a Touchback save every second he can as they try to put together this final drive got to get everybody lined up quickly time winding away and they've got to push the ball down the field he's going up top here late in the game last pass Falls incomplete and that's going to do it this game always brings out the best in both teams but today Jesse Texas Best was a little better and this is a win for them that's going to help their recruiting coaches are going to get paid for but most importantly David Texas T gets bragging rights for another whole year a whole year of bragging and a whole year of telling U fans you're not as good as us you can throw up the hook them horns you can do it with pride a lot on the line every year in the Red River rivalry it may not be a crown but it's a hat and it is golden in this latest edition of the Red River rivalry it goes to Texas for David Pollock and Jesse Palmer I'm ree Davis until next time that'll do it for this edition of EA Sports college football [Applause] [Applause] welcome to talahasse Florida home of the war chat Chief aola Renegade and the Florida state seminal a place simply known as the dope today we have one of those games that test your focus top 25 team against an unranked opponent can you take care of business as we'll see a squad from the Big 12 the Colorado buffalos taking on the 11th ranked team in the land the Florida state seminal for EA Sports college football I'm ree Davis is joined here in the booth by David P and Jesse Palmer and guys let's get this thing started the Buffalo will kick it away first here's the return from inside is 10 not a lot of space to be found good Hustle by the coverage team and they stop him at the 21 so the Florida state seals offense will start this game off and here comes their leader Jesse he just has a way of elevating everybody's play and he's a point guard too so good at Distributing the football finds the open guys he makes this offense go makes it go and just you can trust him everything is available the you're not playing with one on behind your back you got all done blaz it's just not easy to bring this guy down is it he is so dangerous once he gets the ball in his hands and it makes me think back to Old great seminal running backs like War Dunn Travis Miner a guy that I used to play against uh how about Dalvin cook even just guys that could make the first guy missed and then they were able to just explode and burst and take at the distance this guy right here he is a unique talent they make the stop right there good pickup and still short of the first down well the short passing game was a great play for any offensive coordinator in the first quarter because it's reliable but it also allows you to see how the defense is going to react in plays so this can certainly open things up later on picked up some yardage with that completion now second down try to get the edge with a quick touch pass and he never had a chance just stopped cold as soon as he got it the first thing you have to do to make these plays successful offensively is I have to block The Edge I I got to get my speeder in space they didn't do a good job of getting that guy out there in space where he could really use his Jets nice job by the defense understanding it seeing it rallying to it and tackling that guy for a loss unloads to the wide out can't make the catch on third down and the rarest of drops for this guy well they try to throw Fort there on third down on the opening drive of the game they don't get it but let's punt the ball away let's trust our defense and guys let's also trust this home field advantage and the crowd to get loud and make it real difficult on our opponent fourth down and the punt team sends it the other way boy they had a chance to track that thing down but it bounces into the end zone for a Touchback so Colorado's offense will take the field for the first time one thing to watch can this guy get in the quarterback's head and make him take a peek at the rush David dks Skippy that's what you want to do you want to make this guy a little bit more human and not as much of a game breaker at the quarterback spot get some pressure on it hit him a few times he's one of the best quarterbacks in the country but he can't hurt you if he's laying on his back and this defensive end can put him there often and the buffalo's headed quickly to the line to the air it's Sanders not the type of accuracy you typically see from this senior quarterback and how nice is it to have the home crowd going absolutely bananas communication is harder but the snapping the football everybody being on time man this crowd really affecting the football this crowd full throat splitting the eard drums and letting him and the heat will get home and the quarterback goes down at the 17 things working pretty well for this defense out of the dime pack still getting plenty of heat on the quarterback get off the rock understand the situation all the fast guys got the back end cover my job to seek and destroy the quarterback great job by the defensive line rushing after that guy and getting him on the ground and the buffalos will call on their punt [Applause] team looking for a block it's Douglas he was was able to get that ball up to the 48 yd line before he stopped on the return power football with the run and how about the efficiency on that one it'll bring up second and four well it's plays like that that will help this offense stay in Rhythm all game long if you can have that kind of success on first down running the football it just opens up your entire Playbook moving forward 6yd pickup on first down leaves him with second and four off play action lets it Fly and the incomplete pass taking a shot on second down and they'll be left with a third down well on defense they know that this offense is going to try and take shots they're going to try and keep their secondary players in a position to make these types of plays good job on the back end forcing that incompletion couldn't find his man last time now they'll have to convert third and four to the air it's aangal and the ball is picked off got some room to run the 20 and he's going to take it all the way touchdown Colorado what a play by this defense with the pick six and how about the defender exactly what you're supposed to do breaks on the football makes the interception everybody on defense we turn to offense go lay some blocks so my guy can get it and take it back to the [Applause] house lining up to tack one more onto that lead and with the extra point they get the first seven of the game that makes the score they'll kick it off and send that defense right back out there to try to score again after the pick six here he comes from inside his own five really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there and make the stop at the 19 the seol have it back they'll try to get that offensive spear flaming that last pick six after a drive like that David can swing the momentum of a game the defense is still celebrating I mean such a big play I mean they they gave up some yards but did what they're supposed to do now Jesse this offense has to put a drive together yeah they have to recapture some momentum here what they can't do is go three and out and give the ball right back didn't get much done on that first play of the drive it's second and 11 he's looking to throw and that's going to be incomplete a lot of contact on the play but no Flags it'll be third down well that's just a great play by the defender and great timing it was the hit that forced that incompletion not exactly the ideal situation for this offense third and long backed up inside their 20 pulls it in it's Douglas and sure tackling there to keep him from getting to the first down marker really nice job by the defense there you're trying to force the quarterback to throw the football in front of you and allow your guys to square up and make a tackle out in space you got to force the ball carrier to do something special after the catch not able to do it there so really nice tactic by the defense fourth down and the punt team sends it the other way fair catch called for and made Colorado has the ball back and the Buffalo hoping to put their team in Prime position on offense 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 one and David to me that starts with being the more physical team no 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 the buffalos will hustle to the line might as well give it to him again and he's able to shed one tackle but still just a very short gain 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 picked up two yards on that last one they need eight on second down looking for a man it's Sanders short throw is complete and he'll grab it step out of bounds and pick up the first down it's so important to know where you are on the field great job great hands great awareness make sure you get that grab possess the ball and get that foot in balance and the buffalo's getting set on First and 10 he's looking to throw it quickly complete no chance to run but still a solid pick up on that one you know the short passing game is a great go-to weapon for any offensive formator in the first quarter because it's reliable obviously but it also allows you to see how the defense is going to react and play you so for coordinators this can really open up the rest of your play there for the rest of the game they'll try to snap it quickly and here here's a fumble way behind the line the defense snatches it and they're going the other way oh break out the oxygen tanks and just an outstanding return takes it back to the seven yd line turning to the running game on first and goal he works his way all the way down to the three and the defense is reeling second and goal for the offense tries again to get it in and he'll find The End Zone touchdown 7 when you're handed a break with unbelievable field position like that you better finish the deal and they did you saw the quarterback jog on the field I think he gave a high five every one of those players coming off that just put them in position to go score that touchdown that QB knew this was a golden opportunity and boy he took advantage of P unit on the field the extra hit that one with some aggression for the point after personal foul ring the kicker def so the decision has been made and the coach will take the penalty all tied up and just about set to kick it [Applause] away if you can do that I don't know why you don't do it every time reduce the risk bang it out of the back of the Endz they'll put it in play at the 25 using his legs a hayen picks up a useful 5yd chunk out the 30 yd line I like this guy as a running back because he can run between the tackles and he can also go outside he can really do it all as they get set to snap at time winding down here in the quarter drop back it's Sanders he's got him along the sideline beautiful footwork for the first down absolutely nothing settled deadlocked after one period of play as we have a look at the [Applause] stats we've got a good one going here and looking forward to keep those vibes rolling here in the second it's first and 10 from the 38 yd line quarterback on the keeper he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three they're trying to go option we're trying to put that defensive end in a Bine but he's just way too athletic and if he guessed right the quarterback was keeping the ball he knew it and was able to make the tackle in the back field and the buffalo's moving quickly to the line fast motion from the offense wants to throw on second down going to take a shot and that's going to be incomplete going for broke on second down but third Down's coming up DB does an outstanding job here on the Deep pass locating the football no Pi able to swatted away passing better find the earplugs here comes the noise backing this defense on third down he's looking downfield to throw going to try to pop one on the screen defense was not fooled by that screen to the back and they'll stop him short of the marker it'll be fourth down it's a nice effort by the running back but in that third and long situation just too much work for that running back to convert that third down really nice job got to give the defense credit the surrounded them got a the Buffalo will send out the punt unit this will be the second time they've had to kick it away on the return it's Douglas and they'll get him down after the return at the 27 yd line guys here comes that Florida State offense back onto the field Jesse a very productive Drive last time wound up with a touchdown yeah mixing and matching play call really well nice balance on that last one Dave we'll see what they can do here in this next Drive yeah and I don't expect anything different when you put together a drive like that I would do more of the same keep the pace keep it going got three on first down it's second and seven they'll keep it on the ground finds his way for three out to the 33 the Run game just has not been working for this offense all game long saw on that last play as well just not getting enough push up front on the offensive line they haven't been physical third down after the run looking downfield it's to angal fires into traffic intercepted he'll try to take it back running through contact and a big return after the int sets up the offense for this possession this is obviously not a great start for this quarterback here two interceptions already in this game he's got to do a much better job with his decision making and the offense suddenly with an opportunity it couldn't have expected with a first and goal after the pick they want to throw it coming after him and the quarterback goes down all the way back at his four yd line well they tried to catch him off guard with with a pass play down there on the goal line but David he just held on to way too long the defense able to get home and get the sack yeah and that's great coverage you love this part of the field you know exactly what you want to do you play more man coverage there's less space to coverage you don't have to worry about those Speedy wide receivers going deep nice job now way on first down getting the sack now I put him in a predictable second down now they can't just run the football and be conservative looking for room it's Hayden he steps and powers and works his way they finally get him down at the two 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 defense in a bot they' love to make this short field payoff with a touchdown instead of a field goal but it's third and goal and this one will be stopped for No Gain that's a great job executing up front by the defense they looked like they were ready for that play and that was a bit of a more unconventional look from the offense on third down but the defense was there to make a big stop now on fourth down they'll send out the field goal unit and you'll have to be precise from the left hash in this short angle and it's no good after that failed field goal attempt fellas still tie ball game that's one the kicker would like to have back that's a kick he should be making in [Applause] the seol have it back they'll try to get that offensive sphere flaming the stakes are going to happen as they did on that last drive now how will they respond Jesse and this is the kind of guy who's going to take full accountability that was my bad that's on me I'm about to lead this offense now down the field to score some points dang pal I wish I would have played with you I didn't play with many quarterbacks that were just like yeah my bad hey guys I got this sorry about that it was more you should have ran a better route tough way to start this drive now they'll try to fix it on second and 15 dropping back it's aangal got his man downfield now they've got even more breathing room out for the 31 and a fresh set of downs well nice job hauling that pass in I'll tell you he keeps defenses on their heels he really does his speed is so scary and I think back to my days in college we used to play against the seminal when they had Peter war and lus cools and because of their gamebreaking ability it put so much pressure on our defense I'll tell you this guy's good enough to I think have played on that seminal offense and he would have gotten some looks could he this guy can make some plays grab near the marker it's Benson much of this seol Foundation was built around great quarterback play some Legends at that position some some guys that spread it around to Elite Playmakers and just a great history at Florida State they've been up and down in the recent history but this team back in the day man do was rocking everybody wanted to be a Florida State Center on target to the left and he's brought down after a huge completion That's What's So Scary About This offense they've got guys in the perimeter that can change the game in one single play and you saw it right there too much speed on the perimeter to create that explosive play the NOS will snap it on First and 10 he wants to throw got it in the middle it's to a and they knock him down but he got past the line the game it's a nice play design there you're getting the running back involved in the pass game quarterback gives it to him early so he can go to work up field and get the first down on First and 10 trying to strike from the 15 from the Red Zone looking for a space got it gets it inside the five down to the four and it'll be first and goal 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 down the SS trying to pay off the threat on first and goal He Wants It All stagged In The End Zone touchdown [Applause] ready to try the point after and the pat gives him a 14 seven lead they put together an 81 yd drive and they CA the drive with a four yd touchdown [Music] pass kickoff team lining up to send this one away from a couple of yards deep he'll bring it out I know he thinks he can house every return and sometimes you just have to take a knee as he stopped at the 14 Ed the play fake now to throw and the quarterback goes down all the way back at his four yd line there's a timeout call as this offense tries to find a way to draw a little closer they've got him PN deep in their own end In This Crowd trying to help keep them there they'll run it from the gun a strong tackle and wrap up from the junior time out is called and it's the defense wanting to make sure that everyone's on the same page for this big down this defense has kept them backed up now one more stop and they can get off the field on Third and long they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one defense calls a quick timeout there perhaps a little confusion about what call they were in they tried to run the counter but absolutely nothing doing and those counter plays take a little longer to develop times you're usually pulling one or two guys and that penetration in the back field can kill you can get to the running back before he gets started and the punt team gets down there and gets the Return Man On The Ground guys here comes that Florida State offense back onto the field they're trying to get to it and the quarterback will be slung down back at the 43 they'll tell you that somebody's always going to pop open but it didn't happen in time before got the sack no it did not and you know what I'm going to remember this I'm going to remember zone defense they didn't really have an answer they weren't ready to get rid of the football quarterback hesitated I got to him and got him on the ground might be a good call later on in the game and he needed a little bit wider field as that one falls out of bounds you know the're saying no risk it no biscuit if you want big plays on offense you've got to be able to take shots they didn't hit that one but moving ah head in the second half expect this offense to keep dialing them up just a few seconds remaining here as they try to put something up before half time on Third and long he'll need to push it down field couldn't find a man and just had to throw it away to avoid a negative play it's so nice when you know it's third and long you know a pass is coming you worked on it all week get your feet set at the sticks understand that quarterback's got to be rushed get him off of his spot nice execution by this defense the seol send out the punt unit doesn't say much for your drive when you're looking forward to the punt and The Return Man will have no chance as the ball sails out of bounds it's first down but the offense is just going to take a knee and go to the locker room first half in the books time now to join Kevin Connors in our halftime update right guys looks like we've got a great one in Tallahassee going on two quarters of both sides feeling each other out and it's likely to come down to which offense can find a way to generate some big plays adjustments will be a part of it maybe it's time these typically conservative play callers open up the Playbook nothing crazy but a calculated risk here and there to try to gain an edge in what's been a stalemate with that said let's send it back to the guys at Campbell stadium and the seols will try to kick this one deep to get things underway in the second half he'll take the return try to get better field position didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 and the Colorado offense is coming back onto the field if they're going to get on top in this game they're going to have to find a way to get the running game game going in the second half well I agree so it can create some more balance some more unpredictability I I feel like this defense has got a good beat on what they're doing especially if they don't mix it up a little bit so I do look for a little second half running the football pal right of this group and I think the thing Dave is they just got to be more physical I don't think this is a scheme question about trying different run plays I think it's up to the Big Fellas up front they've just got to make the decision that they're going to be tougher here in the second half so that they can win this game right back to the well so runs like that that can really help your field position as they're up at the [Applause] 355 brings up second and the buffalos are in the hurry up back to throw it's Sanders he finds his man tackled but he has a first down I think this receiver's Forte is his route running he's a guy that can line up all over the field but it's not just catching post routes and goes this guy can run shallows he can run Slants he can run the option routes and find soft spots in the defense this guy really has all the routes in his toolbx off play action on first down and the quarterback is snowed under when it's a playaction pass that quarterback he really has to sell the fake he can't tell his offensive lineman's getting beat right away while he's selling the fake he had no [Applause] shot first down sack pushes back now it's second down he's going to pass on second down catch in the middle it's more they bring him down but a solid pick up to put them in position to pick up a first down you see it more and more smaller wide receivers like I don't care about their size anymore I put them in the slot I let him get a good match up they're so quick people can't get their hands on them they make plays and I feed him the football these are guys that have a lot of catches throughout a season third and long and he'll try to throw for it working that left side and he was Off to the Races finally tripped up at the 36 well I think on that play you saw why this guy's such a big weapon in this offense that receiver he does such a nice job with his routes he's patient and he's consistent and he's got good hands you don't see him put a lot of balls on the ground nice job there picking up the first down on the move they get him stopped at the 30 but not before he gets five yds listen that wasn't the greatest run in the world but it was very successful and you're making me honor the run and another thing every time you run the football someone gets tackled there's physicality involved in the game so I like when offenses commit to the running the football no matter what the outcome is because those body blows do add up back to throw it's Sanders using the quick game nice pitch and catch there and they'll have enough for the first down this is why you recruit dudes right quarterback distributes get the ball in the hands of Playmakers and let him do his thing that dude makes quarterback look good I mean you get it to him in space and watch he'll break the tackles he'll make those plays but nice job getting the ball out fast to his playmaker and letting him do the rest they'll try the run and he goes out of bounds after a nice pick up on that one and as an offensive coordinator you don't need the perfect play with this guy as your running back he's going to make the play perfect for you because he makes everybody miss spin moves hurdles stiff arms speed whatever it takes to move the sticks and score touchdowns going to work on second down in the red zone is still some ground to cover to pick up that first down give to the running back forges ahead for one to the 8 Y Line [Applause] third and the buffalos want to crank the tempo musling ahead on Third and short tough sliding in there picks up a couple but still needs two more on fourth [Applause] down and they'll send the field goal team back out for the second time tonight and he'll try it from the right hash and the angle shouldn't be too bad from this distance no no good after that Miss still a seven-point game guys well everybody in the stadium thought that was an automatic three not so fast bad Miss by the [Applause] kicker the simol have it back they'll try to get that offensive spear flaming the last time we saw this this offense we had to look quick it was a three and out Jesse you just had no rhythm in that last drive so someone's going to have to step up and make a play David and get this thing going yeah let's find some juice find your guy find those plays that you know you can run inside out forward backwards get some first downs get some positive momentum still at their own 20 after that last incompletion it's second and 10 looking for a man it's aanga this one's complete excellent job working through the air there finding a hole in that defense and picking up a first down oh that is a rope for the completion in this offense I'll tell you you think about great seminal quarterbacks the three WS wanky Winston Ward dudes that could change the game Heisman Trophy winners every defensive coordinator was scared every time they had to play the seminal because of that vaed passing attack and this guy I think he has D coordinator seeing ghost because this guy can play at a high level my coach said don't never go broke taking a profit take what's there take the positive yards and never can final minute now of the third quarter caught near the sideline it's Benson and he'll step out of bounds after a very productive play and these quarterbacks have to really trust their wide receivers that that they're going to be disciplined and run to the right route when they're throwing that ball to the outside like that because those Corners are sitting there on the inside and the worst thing that could happen is to miss inside and that cornerback can go in the other direction got it behind the line it's lead and the ball's free in the back field oh it looks as if the defense got it and he's brought down and this defense gets the ball back for it's to man that's a big mistake and listen I'm still going to force feed my Playmakers if I'm that quarterback I'm that OC I'm walking over to that guy be like listen it's okay it's a little bit of a mistake we're still going to find ways to get your The Rock you're too important to this team not to give you the football the offense showing motion from the tight end trying to get a read on the D he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three when you play defensive end it's all about getting off the football you can tell gets off the football really fast Gets In The Back Field get the running back before he knows what hit him what a play by the defensive line the buffal come to the line in the hurry [Applause] up defense didn't maintain its discipline there and they get into the neutral zone it'll cost them five yards encroach [Applause] defense so the early contact for the defense and they'll move it up five yds they try to pop a run on the draw gets enough for the first down but not sure they'll get another playoff here in the third quarter just a great job by the quarterback the running back the offensive line sneaky little Devils what do they do make it look like pass sneak in the Run catch you off guard great play call by the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] offense one more period to go to see who can make the winning plays and come home with the victory they'll snap it from the 26 on first down they go to the ground a most efficient pick up of six on first down it's second and four it's going to be important this offensive line is able to get a little bit of push you just got to get this guy an inch a little crease and he can make yards for got six on first down now a lot of options on second and four [Applause] snagged in the middle it's h and he'll be taken down but he does have enough for the first down great job by the quarterback there he saw the safety right on the Run fake so as the safety comes running downhill he now knows he has the slant throw to his receiver on the outside and the buffalos are moving quickly down the field to the air it's Sanders they're bringing Heat hit hard as he released the ball on that first down pass and it never had a chance and unfortunately this guy's been beat like a drunk he's been hit sacked a bunch of times already and another hit right here I'm I'm literally looking at my offensive line and be like dude I need some more time you got to protect me better than this give me a chance to complete some passes looking for space it's Hayden he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three yeah and this offense has to find a way to run the football and they got to get more creative or whatever that looks like for this offense something to jump start them because nothing really going on the ground yeah defensively though you got to give them credit too because they knew that physically they were going to try to be challenged up front that was a big M Mo for this offense coming into it but the defense they've risen to the occasion their front seven has dominated this entire game and here we go down the score they'll go for it on fourth down he'll try to throw and pick up the first down they got him it's a sack and what a stop for this defense to to turn it over on down well that play never had a chance on fourth down they're trying to catch the defense off guard thrown for it but no protection quarterback didn't have an opportunity to step up and get rid of that football give the defense credit him tremendous aggression there on four first down here for the [Applause] offense from the gun the running back looking for room and maybe they want to try somewhere else because there is nothing doing in the middle of this defense you got to give this defense credit because they have bottled this guy up all game long he's one of the best running backs in Olive College Football everybody was expecting him to have a big one today don't tell that to this defense though they've played with great effort they've gotten hats to the football and they have been able to shut him down good surge up front give him four out to the 18 and this is a pressing time for this defense they they've got to understand they're backed up a little bit they're going to run the football they don't want to make a mistake so I think this is the time I'm a little bit more aggressive I I got to get this football back to my offense because I'm trailing so I look for this defense to get a little bit aggressive to throw it's aanga and with the completion out to the sideline they'll pick up a couple good play call on defense third down in that situation we're just playing in a big Zone you want everybody having their eyes on the quarterback playing in the their areas and you want them rallying to the football soon as that running back caught the ball they all came screaming in they were able to make the tackle and now set up fourth and the nolles line up to punt it away he's got great speed turns like that or why you don't settle for the fair catch if you don't have to picks up just a little bit of yards to help about the o to the air on first down he's got his man and the defense had that one well covered just a short game there this offense has their work cut out for him man because the coverage has been so tight and if you're not throwing to the sideline and you're not getting past the sticks this defense is going to tackle you in bounds like they just did on that last play and B the F and the buffalos want to pick up the [Applause] tempo wide receiver now comes in motion quick pass the fly Motion makes one man miss a solid pick up there before the defense is able to make the [Applause] stop these fans stepping up to help this defense on third down they'll try to get the first through the air and it's incomplete on third down great job by the defense there they weren't surprised by that play call there on Third and short they were expecting pass they took everything away forced the incompletion the buffalos decide to PL it away he'll try to really get into this one excellent job on the pun bounces Out of Bounds at the five and they'll have 95 yds to go in front of him he want that clock to run that's the 15 he's loose how about that effort to get it out across the 20 they'll mark it at the 21 it's a first down and I think if you're the head coach defensively now obviously you've got three timeouts in your back pocket you're trailing at this point and the offense is going to be running the football trying to bleed the clock they're going to take as much time off the game clock as they can before snapping it you've got to start thinking about using some of those timeouts motion from the offense they'll ride the hot hand they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one lost one on that last one it's second and 11 they'll give it to the back he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three defense uses the timeout quickly trying to get that ball back and preserve time for their offense you make up the game plan and not a lot on the play sheet for this third and long from inside their own 20 they'll ride the running back and leave it with him and he's not going to get there the defense Stands Tall and makes the stop timeout called there by the defense desperate to get the ball back and save as much time as possible the SS will putt this one away let's see if he can help the coverage team out with this one you'll settle for some pretty good field position and make the fair catch at around the 35 LLY gets set first down on the move it's Sanders working the middle it's complete they make the stop after the catch and still some work to do to pick up that first down and you've created some great momentum getting the stop forcing the punt now getting it back to your offense your offense starting to get in a Groove late in the game you need some big plays just wonder how much Panic there is right now in the defensive side of the football too because of what you just said David they can feel and sense the momentum leaving them right now with the lead so someone defensively better step up here soon and make a play really nice job by quarterback and wide receiver this is why you do film work this is why you throw on air all off season I know I get Zone coverage I know exactly where I'm breaking I know exactly where to deliver the football nice throw nice catch they'll hurry to the line with the clock still running he'll come out throwing on first down oh he drops the football he had him right down the gut of the field instead it'll be second down his defensive linemen have tense in the back field been as gracious they're camping out back there hitting the quarterback time and time again when you sacked him this much of course he's going to be flustered of course he wants to get rid of the football he's back to throw on second down this time it's complete let me tell you this senior quarterback can flat fit it in a tight window got to give this defense tons of credit how good have they been on the back end in coverage it just feels like every time this QB has thrown the ball it's been contested they haven't given up a lot of yards and they need to continue to be great in coverage with the lead in this two-minute situation quickly gets everyone set they spike it to stop the clock itads to second and now on second down for this offense looking downfield it's Sanders short throw to the sideline is complete and he's out of bounds after picking up a couple using him out of the slot he has just been Unstoppable and I love putting Dynamic athletes in the slot that I can move around that I can put motion I can I can make him go in or out I can put him off the ball so you can't get hands on him and they've really featured this guy today on Third and long trying to have a big completion here complete out of the back field and they gave him no chance to get loose and they force a fourth down well Tempo is going to be a big deal right now but fourth down coming up trailing you have to dial up to the right play right here D And first things first you got to get the first down like I got got to convert this forth down the clock is irrelevant at that point then I got to kick it in high gear make some plays and getting scoring position to try to take the lead couldn't find his man and they'll give up the football on Downs looks like the offense will just take a knee [Applause] [Applause] e for [Applause] [Music] [Applause] down oh [Music]
