from the first down Brown wants to pass he is stopped behind the line of scrimmage they'll lose yards on that one the Bulls will hustle to the line [Applause] [Music] from the gun they'll try to impose their will only able to pick up a yard before he stopped and now it's Fourth and [Applause] three everybody stays in their Lan well enough and they stop him at the 31 yd line so the Southern Mississippi golden e Les offense will try to get something started with their first possession as we take a look at our impact players for this game David what do you look for to make an impact from your leaders your leaders not only have to lead the football team but they got to step up and make plays on the field keep everybody calm these guys typically do a really good job right yeah David and they also generally set the tone for their respective football teams regardless of which side of the ball they play on the teammates look towards them to step up in big games like this and he's to the 48 yd line that'll be good enough for a first down here's this offense with a fresh set of downs out of the gun the give to the back not a whole lot of room there three yards maybe second and seven kept it on the ground on first down now back to the line the handoff as they run the counter play here and they'll stop him just short the first down just inches away from moving the sticks on Third and short they'll go to the power running game putting together a real scoring PR here as they pick up the first down at the 36 from the gun they'll try the middle 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 looking to throw it's Braker takes the easy completion and the defense holds firm no pickup at all on that play now facing a third and long it's a draw he is going nowhere stopped at the line of scrimmage and on fourth down here comes the field goal unit this is going to have to be Unleashed from 54 yds out it is true as he puts three on the board and with that they break the seal on the scoring it's 39 well this team knew coming into tonight's game they had to get momentum early playing at home they want to get the crowd into it so you get a beautiful drive here to start this thing you would have liked to cap it off with a touchdown but listen you set yourself up for a field goal you knock it through the uprights you've got the lead everything right now looking good so after the last Drive ended with a field goal the kickoff team out there to send it away 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 South Florida has it back and the Bulls offense will return to the field running back searching for a hole they believe in that running game got six before he stopped at the 23 and the Bulls come to the line in the hurry up down from the shotgun the inside K tackled at the 28 it's a pick up of five now on first down from the 28 for the off quarterback on the keeper running with power the ball's free oh looks as if the defense got it man what great effort you could tell he was fighting scratching breaking tackles the problem is when you give all those second efforts and you got all those guys holding you up slowing you down now that football becomes vulnerable you can punch it out defense punches the football out lands on top of it nice momentum swing for this defense Southern Mississippi ready to send that offense back onto the field man how comforting is it to know that even if your offense stalls out a little Jesse that field goal kicker can knock it in from a long way out well he's one of the best in the country ree no doubt but this offense would like him and prefer for him to kick an point on this drive and to do that David they've got to have more Rhythm on offense yeah create some more Rhythm create some more explosive plays and maybe some more balance and listen it's nice to have that weapon and kick long field goals if you kick too many field goals you don't get very many W's they've got it just outside the Red Zone they'll move the chains it's at the 21 and the golden eagles getting set on First and 10 Ed the play fake now to throw the Freshman able to get home with the sack 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 shot big first down sack for the defense brings up second down they'll run it from the gun they make the stop St give him three yards on the carry balls at the 24 balls at the 24 a lot of confidence in their kicker from here but they'd love to take it off of his foot and convert the first down complete to the left they get him stopped at the two but it'll be first and goal the golden eagles have this offense rolling wide receiver shows motion quick pass on the Fly motion and he's ridden to the ground but there's also a flag down let's check the call holding amazing how many times an offensive holding penalty will stall a drive we'll see if the offense can overcome it on the run it's clar he'll be brought down at the 5 yd line and this defense is on its heels offense trying to pay it off on second and goal got his man quickly and the catch and run into the end zone touchdown Southern M I think the days of running backs just running downhill are out the window you better be able to do this you see the playmaker slip him out of the back field throw him the football he'll handle the rest get in the end zone for the touchdown [Music] lining up to tack one more onto that lead and with the extra point they're now up by a touchdown and a field goal at 10 and let's check in with Kevin Conor in the studio Kevin Dynamite match up today fellas let's show you what's going down Florida state has the lead at this time but there haven't been quite as many Tomahawk chops today as we expected this is close they're up by a field goal over Memphis just another week of college football where we've come to expect the unexpected one Ellis oh and how about that I know Kevin and those guys will be keeping an eye on it for us leaves it with the back across the 25 he's got room they stay aggressive and push their way out to the 33 in its first down first down for the [Applause] off he'll pull it on the read still on his feet at the 45 they'll get him down at the 48 after the 15yd gain we've reached the end of the quarter guys and Southern Mississippi has the lead they wanted to strike first and strike hard and they've been able to do that here in the first quarter as we take a look at the stats now the challenge here they've taken a punch but they can't let it get out of hand as we start the second they go to the ground and a pickup of eight opens a world of opportunities on second and two the Bulls are in the hurry [Applause] up On The Run it's Kei that play just never had a chance a knock him down for a loss of five now facing a third and long from the 50 yd line brown will throw it got his man downfield and this defense was flailing as he weaved his way and got down to the 26 this first half of offense won't go on the highlight reel so far starting to get things moving it's first and 10 from the shotgun now here's an inside GI great move there the stop is made but this offense is threatening first and goal from the nine defense is backed up shadow of the goal POS trying to defend their own End Zone he'll do it himself and he Sprints to the end zone touchdown ball the defense knew coming into this game they were going to have their hands full not only did they have to worry about these running backs in the running game they had to worry about the quarterback as well on designed runs and on scrambles they didn't have an answer for him right [Music] there lining up for the p8 for the extra point and it's up and good as they draw Just a Touch closer about to kick it away after scoring the touchdown mississipp from inside his own 10 he'll try to help out their field position and the returner could find no daylight he goes down Southern Mississippi has it back and the golden eagle offense headed to the field from the shotgun the hand off to the back and he's able to bounce off one tackle for a solid pickup that kind of pick up on first down and you can take a shot here on second and short off play action throws to the tight end and it just squirted through his hands he wanted to take off and got too anxious on Third and short trying to impose their will and move the chains he's going to have enough to pick up the first down as they stop him at the 33 yd line and the golden eagles come to the line with a new set of downs they'll give it to the back they stop him cold maybe gets a yard to the 34 didn't get much on first down it's second and nine back to throw it's raker just too much juice on that one as he air mails his receiver out of bounds they couldn't connect on second down now staring at a third and nine trying to make that Rush think on the draw play here and he found plenty of Running Room on that one before the defense was finally able to get him down on the move it's Clark found enough room to get it into enemy territory there're down at the 43 yd line offense goes on the attack back on First and 10 he wants to throw nowhere to go in the ball is loose and the defense jumps on it and they get that turnover you know as quarterbacks you've got to be good in the pocket even when things are collapsing and you've got guys swiping at it you got to have two hands on the football didn't do a really good job with ball security there and that led to the fumble South Florida ready to send the offense back onto the field that running game was impressive taking them right down for a touchdown last time David yeah just mly no secret play calls just simply we are more physical than you and we're pounding the football right at you so if you're on offense this next Drive take a look at their safeties and see if they're creeping up into the box because of your success running the football this might be time to take a shot down the field and play action it's a draw he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage that'll be a loss of three last play was a near disaster now dealing with second and 13 from the gun the running back tries to hit the hole a run up the middle is stuck for No Gain coming to the line of scrimmage at the 30 it would be a long field goal but they'd love to pick up a few here on Third and long all kinds of room to throw that one in there they'll get him stopped just short of the end zone but they're in business here with a first down that route is a man beater and the quarterback knew exactly where to go with it he got the look he wanted put it out in front of the receiver let him do the rest yards after the catch setting up first and goal and he takes it to the house touchdown USF touchdown us follow the blockers the offensive line will take you to the Hallelujah land and I tell you what most of the time Reese it requires a little bit of skill to find that hole and you know Slither through a little crack that was not a crack that was wide open didn't take a lot of vision cuz the blocking was outstanding ready to try the point after [Applause] point and with the extra point they're up 14- 10 a very efficient five playay scoring drive and they Clos the deal pushing their way inches into the end zone Mississippi he'll start the return inside his spot he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic but they get him on the ground at the 20 Southern Mississippi ready to send that offense back onto the field after that last drive he came back to the sideline and the coach probably said you dropped it you didn't pick it up come on get on the ball David no that's not what he said he said you're doing a great job just keep your head yeah yeah he got blasted you got to hold on the football bmer turnovers to side games those are big plays it's tough on him too cuz he knows he let his offense down on that last drive so you know that guy's eager and anxious to come out here and make a [Applause] play can't find his man as he took a shot trying to deliver that football and it'll be second down they'll leave it with him just sort of a Relentless run getting everything that was available to him and they'll Mark him down at the 40 they'll stick to the ground looking for the marker they tried to go Smashmouth on Third and short and it did not work against this defense the golden eagles send out the punt unit that thing was down for a while but the big bounce carried it into the end zone and it'll be a Touchback South Florida has it back in the Bulls offense will return to the field got to be smart patient great vision uses all of that to get to the 29 and the Bulls want to move quickly from the gun the running back has it and he's got enough for the first down it'll be at the 35 here's this offense with a fresh set of downs offensively are you going to take four to six every play yes please sign me up for that I'm going to take that every single time great job by the offense staying patient staying true to who they are you want to run the football you want to be physical you want to establish yourself check check check they've got him looking run now they're going to throw it caught in the back field it's Keith and he was fortunate not to lose yardage on that play able to wedge it back to the line of scrimmage on Third and long he's going to have to throw for it and he dropped it oh what a missed opportunity nobody around just had too much time to think about it fourth down and the punt team sends it the other way no return coming he'll call for the fair catch Southern Mississippi has it back in the golden eagle offense headed to the field he'll start this drive firing oh he had him right down the middle and it just squired right through his fingers and they missed an opportunity for a nice play on first down after the incompletion they go back up top getting behind those pans and behind the stiff arm to get it out to the 27 a timeout is called as this offense tries to find a way to get more points on the board before the half back to pass it's raker makes the grab over the middle and they reacted well for the completion but it was too late to keep him from getting the first down [Applause] they want to just keep throwing it it's caught downfield and he's brought down after a nice game and the golden eagles will snap it on First and [Applause] [Music] 10 he's going to pass throws to the wide out got it in the middle it's Simmons defense needs to regroup as he gets it down to the 26 this offense is like running a perfection real in practice against air chunk play after chunk play and here they come again fires to the big fella and they pick up just a few on that completion here's a Timeout on the field tight game here late in the first half this offense has a second down play he's looking to throw fires to the middle almost intercepted it'll fall incomplete the defense almost came up with a turnover trying to move the sticks on third down through the air he can't haul it in incomplete he had him on the crossing route and he dropped it and they'll send the field goal team back out for the second time tonight kick is good the offense has three points to show for the drive and for a quick update let's go to Kevin Connor in the studio fellas it's a final now and one of the more intriguing games of the week that notable top 25 flash Wisconsin was able to squeak one out in front of those home fans at Camp Randall in fact I think at the end the difference may have been that Badger crowd who heads for the gates with the win always interesting to see ranked teams Collide and today was no different the agony and Ecstasy of college football fellas yeah how about that sounds as if they had a good ball game there Kevin thanks for the update wants to throw on first down excellent coverage and good use of the hands to knock it away they'll spread the defense out going five wide on second and 10 Brown wants to pass and the pass is intercepted touchdown Southern Mississippi what a great play by the defense and paying it off with the interception return and linebackers are so athletic nowadays in college football they can play man on running backs and tight ends and all over the field and how about the linebacker making the athletic interception and then showing you he could be a running back taking it all the way back to the house for a [Music] [Applause] touchdown he'll try to add another to their lead for the extra point and the extra point point is good and the lead is six so they got the touchdown now going to put it in the hands of their defense to finish off this half on the run from inside his own five nice job by the kickoff team everybody stayed in their lanes and they'll stop him at the 16 South Florida ready to send the offense back onto the field looking to go up top on first down he's got his man they make the stop right there good pickup it's still short of the first [Applause] down out of the gun the inside hand off to the running back and he make the Stop and that is the end of the first half we played two quarters here time to go to Kevin Connor in our halftime update man we've been looking forward to this one all week a fun start to things in Hattiesburg 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 in 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 and with that let's send it back to the guys inside the Rock and he'll just take a knee and this drive will start at the 25 Southern Mississippi ready to send that offense back onto the field they start this third quarter with the lead but they might want to think about Shoring up that protection yeah the good news is you're you're leading on the scoreboard the bad news is your quarterback doesn't feel like it because you can't protect him so David adjustments and pass protection that has to be something they were talking about here at halftime 100% just you can't get him hit that much he's still doing a good job delivering the football but if you keep hitting the quarterback enough man they'll start to see ghosts they'll panic and they'll make some of those mistakes wants to throw it's gr maker you using the back as a receiver 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 the golden eagles will send out the punt unit this will be the second time they've had to kick it away hauls it in looking for space he gets it up to the 34 yd line before he stopped and that's where the offense will set up Shot line gets set first down hand off from the gun they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one the Bulls want to pick up the tempo from the shotgun they'll run [Applause] it pretty good effort on that one to work his way up to the 42 come to the line at the 42 facing a third and short [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they'll try to run for it and he gets it done on third down they move the chains and they'll mark it at the 44 and the Bulls come to the line with a fresh set of downs he'll keep it himself they'll wrestleing down just short of the first down I don't even think they're going to bring out the change to measure this one and they'll come to the line with less than a yard to go [Applause] here's a quick throw out to the left the Bulls brought to the ground but not before picking up the first here's this offense with a fresh set of downs first the they'll go to the ground and they picked up nine on first down it'll bring up second and short tack the offense in hurry up mode [Applause] Brown will throw it makes the grab on the left a quick tackle made but he's got ready for the first down here's this offense with a fresh set of downs nice job by the quarterback there throwing the hitch route against Zone coverage you can't stare at him if you do that then you allow the flat Defender to get underneath it and that might be a pick six so really good job by the quarterback there using his eyes to manipulate the defense the inside hand off finds just enough room to pick up a couple down to the 26 third and short from the 26 pretty easy field goal range but they'd love to pick up the [Applause] [Music] first from the gun wants to [Applause] pass can't make the connection on third down thanks to that tough hardned pass defensive and now it's fourth down and they'll send out the field goal unit it's good he hit that one right down the middle that makes the score Southern Mississippi 20 South Florida 17 so after the M field goal they'll kick it away and rely on their defense he'll bring it back from inside his spot just never had a chance to shake loose and he'll be brought down at the 24 Southern Mississippi has it back in the golden eagle offense headed to the field time to take a shot he's got it downfield for a huge game and the tackle was made but not before that completion gets him 30 plus well how about the offense setting that play up we've seen earlier in the game a couple shorter throws they're just trying to suck those safeties closer to the line of scrimmage anticipating that they would get an opportunity to take a shot they called the perfect play at the perfect time right there holding off we'll repeat the previous down but this time the offense has 10 more yards it has to cover off play action on first down fires to the wide out they've avoided the interception all day but they were lucky to get that one back here late it'll be second down couldn't make the connection last time let's see if they throw it again hand off from the shotgun they make the stop but not before he takes a chunk out of what they need to move the sticks they line up with some serious work to do if they want to convert this one [Applause] on third down he'll try to pick it up through the air and he dropped it it looked for all the world like that would be a catch and he just got too excited and this field goal team has been busy this kicker comes out for the third time tonight absolutely perfect well that kid just showed off his hammer for a leg 50 plus and he did it with ease [Music] so they were able to put up a three spot on that last drive and now the kickoff team out there as they prepare to put boot to leather here he comes from inside his own five slips through the line he just about popped that one for a long one but as it is he gives his team a lot of momentum with a solid return quarterback on the keeper and that's a very productive first down play and bringing up second and three and the Bulls racing to the line in the hurry up second com trying play action and he was hit just as he was releasing the pass and it falls to the ground incomplete that last incomplete pass has him staring at a third and three they'll try to pick it up on the ground he's got first down yardage across the 50 they'll mark it at the 49 the Bulls come to the line with a new set of downs good enough for a first down they're going to go right back to him on first down he had all kinds of company as soon as he got and he had to fight his way back just to get to the line of scrimmage [Applause] now they'll run it on the toss they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one they'll try to move the chains on this third and long from the [Applause] [Music] 50 Brown wants to pass and the third down pass is incomplete and the Bulls will call on their punt team kick away the ball hits at the five and it'll go into the end zone for a Touchback Southern Mississippi ready to send that offense back onto the field can't hold on he had him right down the middle and he flat dropped it after that last incompletion here's second and 10 from their own 20 motion by the back forces the defense to adjust unloads to the wide out reacted well to the tip and just couldn't squeeze the football instead of the turnover it'll be third down from the gun wants to pass another incompletion on third down and the golden eagles line up to punt it away makes a move the solid return there offsets some of the punt yardage and really sets up this offense nicely first snap of this drive will come from the 46 they'll run it from the gun and a nice solid pick up there before the defense wrestles him to the ground got six on first down now a lot of options on second and four to the ground with the back at the 35 he's got room and chunk plays of the name of the game and they get one here before the defense finally makes the Stop and that's a first down for the [Applause] off the give to the tailb and he'll pick up one it brings up second and nine the Bulls want to crank the tempo brings up second down using his legs it's Kei he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple a third and long coming up here they'll Run play action flushed out of the pocket and not much doing there as that defense runs him out of bounds and here comes the field goal unit for the second time tonight [Applause] the official says no good a missed an opportunity to cut this deficit in half still down by [Music] six Southern Mississippi has it back in the golden eag offense headed to the field they missed an opportunity to extend this lead the last time they had it Jesse yeah they got to be able to regain that momentum right go back to what was working earlier on in this one David to me that starts with being the more physical team oh 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 forg is ahead picks up about three to the 29 he'll throw on third down oh they really could have used that catch their physical pass defense it brings up a fourth down the golden eagles will try to pin them back with the punt he'll take it on the return and the punt team gets down there and gets the Return Man On The Ground the first down for the offense try to get it to the edge able to scr three yards out of that one somehow it's second and seven offense quick Tempo second [Applause] down they'll keep it on the ground brought down at the 46 but he got 10 on the play the offense set for a first down play and talk about spreading the ball around everyone getting a chance to show off the hands based on the number of targets we've seen one more period to go to see who can make the winning plays and come home with the victory the offense setting up shop at the 46 first and 10 from the gun they'll give it on the inside and he's able to find a little bit of running room before they get him down and the Bulls hit it quickly to the [Applause] line he'll pull it on the read he's brought down at the 41 yd line it's a pickup of five and enough for a first down the Bulls are marching down the field they've been running it but now the pass and they dialed up a shot play but they couldn't hook upe back to work on second and 10 from the 41 after that last [Applause] incompletion he let that thing fly quickly but he couldn't make the connection they line up and it is a long way to the sticks from here on Third and long he has to throw for it fires to the middle makes the grab they've got it just outside the Red Zone they'll move the chains to at the 21 and the Bulls have it with a first and 10 and I love the awareness by the wide receiver on that play because I'm not sure that route was supposed to fires toward the end zone and incomplete on the Deep ball and now on second down for this offense off the play fake now adjusting trying to make magic with his feet and a really nice run and pickup there before the defense avoided disaster and stopped the really big [Applause] play Brown will throw it and it's caught touchdown balls this guy has been an absolute force in this offense early this season guys we're only in the third game he's already got three touchdown catches talk about a matchup nightmare for opposing [Music] defenses he'll try to tack on one more for the extra point and the extra point gives him a onepoint lead here in the fourth we check in with Kevin Connor what's going on Kevin boys if it's happening at college football we've got eyes on it check this out Tulsa is down right now but this young man under Center has shown some Moxy today we could see a legend Bor in Chapman Stadium it's a touchdown game they're trailing by seven to Oklahoma State it's complete we'll Circle back if anything big happens you should know about it and how about that one Kevin will be keeping an eye on everything going on elsewhere he's got it and this junior loves to show off that big arm and the golden eagles in the hurry [Applause] [Music] [Applause] up quick strike complete stopped after making the catch let's see what they've got on second down at the 37 brings up second down they're going to throw it again strong pass rush gets to the quarterback and they get him at the 46 they'll tell you that somebody's always going to pop open but it didn't happen in time before they 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 a touch out of field goal range they need to pick up yards quickly on on third down 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 he'll get away another punt he's been really active today and no doubt he's going to earn his varsity letter South Florida has it back and the Bulls offense will return to the field and it's incomplete if you're going to take a hit like that you might as well hang on to the ball and here comes the offense on second down [Applause] from the gun the ground game just working and poking and prodding and finding his way up to the 36 lining up to convert third [Applause] [Music] [Applause] down looking for room it's Keith they'll get the first down it's spotted on the 49 offense lining up quickly man it's so nice to have a guy that you can depend on like this this offense is built around him for a reason just a a good running back you can see gets north south doesn't dance picks up positive yards breaks tackles he's just a really good player and that's why this offense runs through him the give to the running back from the shotgun and they just can't Square him up and he gets down to the 36 halfway there on first down it's second and five at this point of the game the offense has the lead the offensive coordinator knows they want to keep running the football so he's going back he's looking at his playlist and he's saying which runs work the best for me in this game what can I lean on right here to make sure we win this one now he's got it all the way down to the 21 yd line and they are threatening on first down and that's a first down for the [Applause] offense C in the back field it's Simmons and a quick compl an even quicker loss the defense was right there to knock him down he was not fold on that one you know a lot of times you want a five space and you throw this route really when it's off covered but you can tell the quarterback was up ready to come pounce on that screen and get the tackle from balls the Bulls moving quickly to the line bully ball on Third and short didn't get much picked up a yard and that will leave them with four and two no hesitation at all the offense stays on the field they'll go for it they'll try it on the ground is that stiff arm even a human arm and it looks like some type of Steel bludgeoning device on his way to the first down USA he'll do it himself touchdown South Florida and they add six more to the board with that trip to the house this offense has really been able to use this option play to their advantage the defense just doesn't seem to have an answer for it the offense has already had two rushing touchdowns when using the [Music] option lining up to tack one more onto that lead and he splits the uprights and pushes the lead to eight here in the fourth about to kick it off after punching it in for the touchdown 31n Mississippi 23 on the move from inside is five couldn't find a way to create that broken field as he stopped at the 25 Southern Mississippi ready to send that offense back onto the field here's the handoff picks up a useful 5yd chunk out to the 30 yd line halfway there on first down it's second and five second down coming up back to throw It's raker Quickly complete turns it on to Midfield they got him free for a big Gainer to the 43 this offense absolutely humming as they come to the line [Music] again power football with the Run he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple offense gets set for second down he's looking to throw the short hands it's Mims he's really close to that first down marker but they stop him just a bit short third down coming up they'll try to pick it up on the ground the golden eagles will have a first down here's this offense with a fresh set of downs looking to move it through the air with the catch it's Clark he's brought down solid pickup but a little bit short of the first down now on second down the give to the back they're there to stop him at the 21 after a pick up of two we reached the two-minute warning and the defense needs to come up with a stop to close this thing out wants to throw on third gets it out quickly and he's tripped up but not before picking up the first down and the golden eagles come to the line with a fresh set of downs going with the ground game left nice solid form tackle from this sophomore operating in the Red Zone here on second down up looking for room it's Clark and they'll bring him to the ground after a short gain now they've got to hustle to the line and get set to the air it's Braker looking to the end zone can't make the grab as he was going for six right there it's a onore game late and they've got to go for it on fourth down he'll go up top maybe a deciding play here can't find his man it'll be incomplete and that is a heartbreaker this late in the game they'll run it trying to drain time off the clock they needed that extra space as he bangs his way to the 14 quick timeout called by the defense stopping the clock to save as much time as possible for their offense they'll ride the running back in leave it with him and he was loose and in the open field and on his way a tremendous pick up on that one now from the 36 yd line it's first and 10 and the offense is content with where it is they'll take a KNE you want to talk about building confidence coming through with clutch plays making the winning plays at the right time can really set the course for the rest of the season yeah reys maturity and experience matters this team has guys that have played a lot of snaps they've seen a lot of looks and they've lost close games like like this in the past that wasn't the case today David too many guys out there making big time plays and I think belief is what you build that confidence you know you're going to win you don't think you're going to win you know you're going to make that play in the big moment that continues to build on week to week success and you look up and you're like dang we strugg a couple wins
