- 0:19Speaker 2: game with still everything on the line. I've joined today
- 0:22Speaker 2: by Stevenson Sylvester downstairs in my broadcast partner, Scott Mitchell upstairs. Scott,
- 0:27Speaker 2: I can't believe we're here. I can't believe it's the
- 0:29Speaker 2: final home game of the regular season. But what I
- 0:32Speaker 2: do like is Utah still has everything to play for
- 0:35Speaker 2: here today.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Yeah, they do.
- 0:36Speaker 3: And what you want to be doing this time of
- 0:38Speaker 3: year is playing your best football, and that's what's happening.
- 0:41Speaker 3: And you do that in November and things just kind
- 0:44Speaker 3: of work out, just funny stuff happening.

- 0:51Speaker 3: of season, and this should be a fun game for
- 0:54Speaker 3: everyone to watch.
- 0:54Speaker 2: There's a lot of things on the outside that matter
- 0:57Speaker 2: to Utah, but nothing matters more than what happens on
- 0:59Speaker 2: the feat here today.
- 1:00Speaker 1: They've got to beat.
- 1:01Speaker 4: Kansas State, and maybe beat Kansas State.
- 1:03Speaker 2: With some style today to impress that college football playoff committee.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Kansas State comes in at five and five, four and
- 1:10Speaker 2: three in Big Twelve play. They've not had the season
- 1:12Speaker 2: they wanted to have, but still could be a dangerous team,
- 1:15Speaker 2: very good defensively, and have an outstanding quarterback by the
- 1:18Speaker 2: name of Avery Johnson. That will be the number one
- 1:21Speaker 2: task for Utah's defense to shut it down here today.
- 1:23Speaker 2: That's shutting down the mobile quarterback. Avery Johnson, the third
- 1:27Speaker 2: member of our broadcast team is on that Utah sideline.
- 1:29Speaker 1: The seniors were introduced.
- 1:31Speaker 2: It's an emotional day to day down stairs, slide what
- 1:33Speaker 2: do you got for us?
- 1:33Speaker 5: Yeah, an emotional day to day.
- 1:35Speaker 6: And it was emotional day in the locker room too,
- 1:37Speaker 6: a lot of seniors stepping up and talking and expressing
- 1:40Speaker 6: their humility and exactly what happened with their time here
- 1:43Speaker 6: at Utah. I know Coach Whittingham absolutely loves this time.
- 1:46Speaker 6: He loves the guys that have invested in this program
- 1:49Speaker 6: and that are these seniors. So it takes it very
- 1:51Speaker 6: seriously and you make sure everybody knows that. So in
- 1:54Speaker 6: the locker room, just hearing guys just say how much
- 1:57Speaker 6: better they became as men as players within this program,
- 2:01Speaker 6: playing alongside each other.
- 2:03Speaker 5: Very emotional, but the energy is still love them.
- 2:06Speaker 6: Heading out of the locker Room was incredibly titled, So
- 2:10Speaker 6: I want to see some action today.
- 2:12Speaker 7: This is where the Utes live on game day and
- 2:15Speaker 7: every day you're tuned to ka L North Salt Lake
- 2:20Speaker 7: ESPN seven hundred and ninety two to one, alf.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Am Dealership across the state. Kentguart team shows the same
- 2:26Speaker 2: commitment to excellence that our Utes bring to the field
- 2:29Speaker 2: each and every day. Kansas State won the toss and
- 2:32Speaker 2: they want the football Scott, so we will see Avery
- 2:35Speaker 2: Johnson here early Utah will kick it and they'll kick
- 2:38Speaker 2: into a little bit of a slight breeze out of
- 2:39Speaker 2: the south here today. Sunny sky's a little bit of
- 2:42Speaker 2: an aversion here in the valley today, but a great
- 2:44Speaker 2: day for football. Fifty one degrees in sunny is not
- 2:47Speaker 2: bad late November isn't.
- 2:49Speaker 1: No, it's not.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Maybe.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Maybe Kansas State won the ball first.
- 2:52Speaker 3: When they see that, it looks like this crowd's just
- 2:54Speaker 3: a little bit late arriving, and so they don't quite
- 2:56Speaker 3: have the noise. They can also say, you know, we're
- 3:00Speaker 3: when our offense gets on the field first. It's some
- 3:03Speaker 3: for some reason, offenses just take a little bit more
- 3:06Speaker 3: time to kind of get settled into games. So get
- 3:08Speaker 3: those nerves out early. It's a real strategy. And you
- 3:11Speaker 3: know it looks like that's the one. Kansas State is employed.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Devon Rerice back to receive the kick from Dylan Curtis,
- 3:18Speaker 2: who's been great this year on special teams. Utah the
- 3:21Speaker 2: all black with black helmets, and we're underway a high
- 3:24Speaker 2: and end over at kick that will not be returned,
- 3:26Speaker 2: eight yards steep into the end zone and out of
- 3:28Speaker 2: goes and Kansas State will begin first and ten at
- 3:32Speaker 2: their own twenty five yard line, led by senior quarterback
- 3:35Speaker 2: or junior quarterback Avery Johnson, who comes in today with
- 3:38Speaker 2: twenty one hundred and sixty eight yards, seventeen touchdowns, five interceptions.
- 3:42Speaker 4: But it's got where he can be dangerous is with
- 3:43Speaker 4: his legs.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Yeah, and this this is gonna be a fun and
- 3:45Speaker 3: interesting thing to see how you saw their strategy in
- 3:49Speaker 3: dealing with Avery Johnson and what he brings to the table.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Johnson and the backfield with tailback Joe Jackson, two receivers,
- 3:57Speaker 2: two tight ends.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Those tight ends moved to the right hand side.
- 4:00Speaker 2: It gets loud here at rice ecles off first and
- 4:02Speaker 2: ten Kansas State in the whites and silver helmets today
- 4:06Speaker 2: with a splash of purple and a first down hand
- 4:09Speaker 2: off to Jackson. He's gonna try the outside.
- 4:11Speaker 4: And get nothing. He'll be down drop behind the.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Line of scrimmage by Smith Stode and the one yard
- 4:15Speaker 2: loss back to the twenty four yard line.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Second down at eleven coming up.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Yeah, they run the counter at first play the game,
- 4:22Speaker 3: and you know you get the back to spill a counter,
- 4:24Speaker 3: you're usually gonna get him for either no gain or
- 4:26Speaker 3: a loss, which is what Utah did there.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Second down at eleven, back in the twenty four yard line.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Crowd filling in nicely here mid afternoon in Salt Lake City.
- 4:35Speaker 2: They spread the field with four wide receivers, Johnson out
- 4:38Speaker 2: of the gun. Utah with four down at the line
- 4:40Speaker 2: of scrimmage, playing press man across the formation. Johnson claps
- 4:45Speaker 2: his hands, takes the step over the middle. He goes
- 4:47Speaker 2: to his tight end, who drops it. All goodness, he
- 4:50Speaker 2: had Braydon Loft and that might have been first down
- 4:52Speaker 2: yard agit more. But he dropped it at about the
- 4:54Speaker 2: thirty and how to bring up third down in about eleven.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Yeah, and you tell it was in his own right there.
- 5:00Speaker 3: You know, that's another thing I think you're gonna expect
- 5:02Speaker 3: today is Avery Johnson's not gonna hold onto the ball
- 5:05Speaker 3: a lot. He's gonna it's gonna be quick passes. Whether
- 5:08Speaker 3: he's throwing the ball down the field, they're just those short,
- 5:10Speaker 3: little slant routes.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Utah with the second best third down defense of the
- 5:14Speaker 2: Big twelve, behind only Texas Tech. Johnson by himself in
- 5:17Speaker 2: the shotgun. Five pass catchers in the formation, Utah showing
- 5:21Speaker 2: pressure up front. Johnson to pass, looking scrambling, growing in complete.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Oh, he had pressure in his face.
- 5:28Speaker 2: It was John Henry Daily and that might be grounding.
- 5:32Speaker 2: We'll see what the call is. I don't know if
- 5:34Speaker 2: there was a receiver in the area. They're gonna talk
- 5:36Speaker 2: about it right now. But Avery Johnson saw John Henry
- 5:40Speaker 2: Daily pop up quickly and he just spiked it into
- 5:42Speaker 2: the turf.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it looked like it might have been a screen,
- 5:45Speaker 1: and you gotta block.
- 5:46Speaker 3: You gotta block the offensive lineman at some point, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 3: it looked like it was a pass, a screen something.
- 5:52Speaker 3: I think he maybe was trying to throw it at
- 5:54Speaker 3: the feet of the running back there, but it just
- 5:57Speaker 3: almost was in the dirt. They're trying to figure out.
- 6:00Speaker 2: They're trying to figure out if there was a receiver
- 6:02Speaker 2: in the area.
- 6:03Speaker 1: There's the flag.
- 6:06Speaker 8: Yeah in texxab A Browning pops number two the.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Ball in the place at the spout of the fall.
- 6:12Speaker 1: The penalty improved loss of down, fourth down, right.
- 6:17Speaker 2: So he was gonna be fourth down anyway. It's going
- 6:19Speaker 2: to back him up about seven yards. That was our referee,
- 6:22Speaker 2: Steven Barrett, Big Twelve official today, And so the punter
- 6:25Speaker 2: will come out. That's Simon McClanahan. He'll punt from his
- 6:28Speaker 2: own goal line. Mona car Volume, who's the second best
- 6:31Speaker 2: punt returner by average this year the Big Twelve Conference.
- 6:34Speaker 2: He stands in his own forty five yard line. McClanahan
- 6:37Speaker 2: comes in today averaging about forty two yards of kick.
- 6:40Speaker 2: You will have a little breeze at his back as
- 6:41Speaker 2: he kicks this from right around the goal line.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love these situations Kansas State sideline.
- 6:48Speaker 3: There's no yardage with this penal.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Team.
- 6:50Speaker 3: This is a morning I love these positions on these
- 6:53Speaker 3: punts because so often you OutKick your coverage and man,
- 6:56Speaker 3: it was just a very aggressive punt returner and the
- 7:00Speaker 3: Utah should get very very good field position from this.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Car volume averaging almost fourteen and a half yards of return.
- 7:05Speaker 2: He has a seventy five yard putt return. Mclanahan's kick
- 7:08Speaker 2: is way nearly blocked and it's a returnable kick, but
- 7:11Speaker 2: Mana's gonna come up in fear catching and about the
- 7:14Speaker 2: forty three yard line. Utah was a whisker away from
- 7:17Speaker 2: blocking that kick. Instead, they'll set up first intend at
- 7:20Speaker 2: their own forty three yard line. Excellent starting field position
- 7:23Speaker 2: for Devin damp Pier in the offense.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's all set up because of that defense
- 7:27Speaker 3: and getting pressure and not allowing Kansas State to complete
- 7:31Speaker 3: those quick passes.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Way Shawn Parker, you tail back, he's got those pick
- 7:35Speaker 2: gloves on again in those pink shoes. Devin damp Pierre,
- 7:39Speaker 2: you're starting quarterback. Two tights and three wides here in
- 7:41Speaker 2: the formation for Utah and first intent for their own
- 7:44Speaker 2: forty three. Kansas State has five of the line of
- 7:46Speaker 2: scrivage motion Van Daniel Bray straight ahead hand off Parker
- 7:50Speaker 2: second level, fifty and down in the Kansas State forty
- 7:53Speaker 2: nine yard line out of you a gain of eight
- 7:56Speaker 2: yards on first down and he got tripped up by
- 7:58Speaker 2: the turf.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Otherwise that might have been bigger run.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Yeahshan's shaking his head here.
- 8:02Speaker 3: He just sees the backside hole open up right there
- 8:05Speaker 3: and it just almost scrut scorts through it. But Kansas
- 8:07Speaker 3: State and there too deep. Look, they don't have anyone
- 8:09Speaker 3: to stop the run right there.
- 8:11Speaker 2: This one's gonna be a wild cat and Beshan's gonna
- 8:14Speaker 2: keep it himself. That's first down yardage to the forty
- 8:17Speaker 2: five and nearly forty four yard line, a game of
- 8:19Speaker 2: three yards Asa Newman or new something. The linebacker made
- 8:23Speaker 2: the tackle first down Utah.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Yeah, And it just shows the different the versatility in
- 8:27Speaker 3: which they can run their offense. You know, you get
- 8:29Speaker 3: Wyshan as the back, then you get him as the wildcat,
- 8:32Speaker 3: and it's just fun to.
- 8:34Speaker 2: See Wasshan stays with the backfield. Devin damp Here the quarterback,
- 8:39Speaker 2: he's gonna pass, throws to the outside over the head
- 8:42Speaker 2: of his wide receiver, make it tied end down at Bentley.
- 8:45Speaker 2: That was dangerous. Could have been picked off. Instead, he
- 8:47Speaker 2: goes in complete set it down in ten coming up.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Yeah, dangerous had a better look down here at this
- 8:52Speaker 3: side of the field, the same same rounds on both
- 8:54Speaker 3: sides of the field. Throws just it, just overt stroke
- 8:58Speaker 3: just a little bit, and the ball say all the sale.
- 9:00Speaker 4: High second and tend of the k State forty five
- 9:03Speaker 4: yard line opening drive for Utah thirteen to eleven to
- 9:05Speaker 4: play here in the first quarter, scoreless, Dan Pierre brings
- 9:08Speaker 4: Daniel Bray in motion. They handed Daniel Bray. He's got
- 9:11Speaker 4: the edge and he's tackled in the backfield, back in
- 9:13Speaker 4: the fifty yard line. That's gonna be a five yard lost.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Daniel Cobbs, the starbacker for Kansas State, made the tackle
- 9:21Speaker 2: and for third and long coming up. Now, that's that
- 9:23Speaker 2: was a play that didn't work great last week. It
- 9:25Speaker 2: certainly didn't work right there.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Yeah, and the offensive lineman kind of let that guy
- 9:29Speaker 3: go late. Is a little miss mixed mismatch there because
- 9:32Speaker 3: that place should have gone for some pretty decent yardage.
- 9:35Speaker 2: So third down in fifteen, This is a tough one
- 9:38Speaker 2: to ask here in Utah. Death certainly a passing down
- 9:40Speaker 2: for Devin Dan Pierre spreads the field. Now, motion's Parker
- 9:43Speaker 2: out of the backfield. It's an empty backfield, a poor
- 9:45Speaker 2: man rush for Kansas State. Devon's gonna keep it himself.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Devon's gonna dance around and pick up about seven to
- 9:51Speaker 2: the forty three yard line.
- 9:52Speaker 1: And that's it.
- 9:53Speaker 2: But that almost felt like they didn't really give it
- 9:57Speaker 2: much of a chance. Kwamas made the tackle and they
- 9:59Speaker 2: gonna give the offense out.
- 10:00Speaker 4: No, the punt team comes out. That's a weird call
- 10:02Speaker 4: on third and fifteen.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's, but it's also a decent call there
- 10:06Speaker 3: because you know, you get it right. Those safeties are
- 10:08Speaker 3: playing deep there. They're in a and and there's no
- 10:11Speaker 3: help for a long way and you know Devin Dampier's
- 10:14Speaker 3: made the long runs before.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Sterling Lockett, the son of Kevin Lockett, the brother. Here's
- 10:26Speaker 2: the kick high, an end over end by Oriyon. Phil's
- 10:29Speaker 2: really short though Lockett takes it in the fifteen yard line.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Well, you didn't gain much on that.
- 10:35Speaker 2: It's about a twenty seven yard punt no return, and
- 10:38Speaker 2: case State will have it first and ten when we
- 10:39Speaker 2: get back, So both teams pun or they're opening drive.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Takes us to a time out here at Rice Ecle Stadium.
- 10:44Speaker 2: I first HAPPI being brought to you by Great Clips.

- 11:24Speaker 1: Kansas State zero.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Case State didn't have much success on that opening drive,
- 11:28Speaker 2: we'll see you get kind of adjustment State make here
- 11:30Speaker 2: on drive number two with quarterback Avery Johnson.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're gonna see some similar types thing.
- 11:36Speaker 3: You might see maybe some quarterback run by design. Maybe
- 11:39Speaker 3: quarterback counter here. Get get Avery Johnson involved in the
- 11:42Speaker 3: running game. He's the big weapon for him. But everything
- 11:46Speaker 3: passing is gonna be quick. It's gonna be quick screens,
- 11:48Speaker 3: it's gonna be slant routes, it's gonna be go routes
- 11:52Speaker 3: against press coverage.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Joe Jackson's gonna be your tail back, Avery Johnson, We'll
- 11:56Speaker 2: be the quarterback. Chier receivers right one to the left
- 11:58Speaker 2: hand side, tied end of the right slot.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Utah crowds alive. Johnson's gonna pass.
- 12:02Speaker 2: On first down, He's got to complete over the middle,
- 12:05Speaker 2: and that ball is complete to Lincoln Cure and he
- 12:11Speaker 2: picks up about five yards to the twenty yard line.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Lincoln Cure, a little used tight end wide receiver, makes
- 12:18Speaker 2: the grab and picks up five.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's again, it's just gonna be We're not
- 12:22Speaker 3: gonna sit back in the pocket. We're not gonna go
- 12:24Speaker 3: down the field with a lot of our routes. We're
- 12:26Speaker 3: just gonna ball control through passing is what is what
- 12:31Speaker 3: Kansas State's gonna do.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Eleven fifteen of the clock running to play here in
- 12:35Speaker 2: the first half, first quarter.
- 12:36Speaker 4: In fact, still scoreless.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Second down and five Jackson, the tailback tight end comes
- 12:41Speaker 2: in motion, the laid hand off. Nope, they're gonna throw
- 12:43Speaker 2: a fade route. Unfortunately, the wide receiver ran a curl
- 12:47Speaker 2: rat It goes in and complete Johnson and is wide out.
- 12:49Speaker 2: We're not on the same page that was John Tibbs.
- 12:52Speaker 2: It goes in complete. Third down and five.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Yeah. So often you have these routes like a curl
- 12:57Speaker 1: or and and if you get.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Press coverage, adjust and the ride receiver thought, oh, I
- 13:03Speaker 3: kept the route on.
- 13:03Speaker 4: The quarterback thought you need to adjust it. And that's
- 13:05Speaker 4: where you get the confusion. So third down in five
- 13:08Speaker 4: k state oh for one. On third down today.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Two tight ends line up, Whye to the right hand side,
- 13:13Speaker 2: one to the left hand side.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Johnson keeps him to the huddle.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Ten on the play clock, empty backfield for Avery Johnson.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Utah's gonna rush four here on Avery.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Johnson, He's gonna step up and try to run away
- 13:26Speaker 2: from it. Throws complete very close to first down yardage.
- 13:29Speaker 2: He'll have it complete to the white receiver. Tibbs, he
- 13:33Speaker 2: needed the thirty five or twenty five.
- 13:35Speaker 1: He got the twenty six. That's the case. First down.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is just well covered, but a great throw,
- 13:40Speaker 3: great catch. I mean the balls down in the ground.
- 13:42Speaker 3: You know you expect a quarterback to run right there,
- 13:44Speaker 3: and Avery Johnson's looking to throw even when he scrambles.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Jackson the tail back to receivers rights one to the
- 13:52Speaker 2: left hand side on first down in ten from the
- 13:54Speaker 2: k States twenty six yard line offset I formation, turning, Gibb,
- 13:59Speaker 2: did you actually look at He's got the second level
- 14:01Speaker 2: in running room forty fifty forty five, forty thirty and
- 14:06Speaker 2: down Joe Jackson with his longest run of the year
- 14:10Speaker 2: in a touchdown saving tackle by Tao Johnson. His previous
- 14:13Speaker 2: long run was twenty one yards. That one goes for
- 14:17Speaker 2: almost fifty.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's the backside film player or the cutback player.
- 14:23Speaker 3: I'm sorry he played way over the top his linebacker.
- 14:26Speaker 3: It just got out of position and created that scene
- 14:28Speaker 3: right there. That's where people attack you saws at that
- 14:32Speaker 3: backside cutoff area as big plays have come from that
- 14:38Speaker 3: pretty much every team.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Forty four yards to the Utah thirty yard line first
- 14:42Speaker 2: and ten. Wildcats, three pass catchers on the right hand side.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Jackson stays in a tailback.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Johnson claps his hand hands right side down he goes
- 14:52Speaker 2: Joe Jackson take him down from behind by John Henry
- 14:55Speaker 2: Daily almost a three yard losch back near the thirty
- 14:58Speaker 2: three yard line.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Nobody blocked Daily.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is kind of that unique package Utah has,
- 15:03Speaker 3: and it's just, hey, we're gonna John Henry. His job
- 15:06Speaker 3: was the back and no one blocks him, and he's
- 15:09Speaker 3: right there. And of course they had it. You know,
- 15:11Speaker 3: if Avery keeps it, they have it covered. A great
- 15:14Speaker 3: play by John.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Henry second down in thirteen for the Wildcats back of
- 15:18Speaker 2: their own thirty three yard line. Split a receiver to
- 15:20Speaker 2: the top of the formation to to the left hand side,
- 15:23Speaker 2: tight end to the right slot. Utah will crowd the
- 15:25Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. Now that tail back is Martin and
- 15:29Speaker 2: now a flag flies and a procedure call coming here
- 15:32Speaker 2: against the Wildcats.
- 15:33Speaker 1: They were not on the same page.
- 15:37Speaker 8: Full start offense number fifty four five yard henderin second.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Dot j R.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Nelson the guilty party there for the Wildcats backs them
- 15:46Speaker 2: up five and so it now becomes second down and eighteen.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Sure see that a lot here, A lot of false
- 15:53Speaker 3: starts with teams when they come play to rice cycle,
- 15:55Speaker 3: especially moving to the north or coming out of the north.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Eight fifty one to play clock running here in the
- 16:00Speaker 2: first quarter, zero zero case State having a good drive.
- 16:03Speaker 2: On their second opportunity here, Martin stays in a tail
- 16:06Speaker 2: back Johnson in the gun pistol formation this time for
- 16:10Speaker 2: the Wildcats. They handed to Martin and he is stacked.
- 16:14Speaker 4: Oh, he burst through twenty five twenty into the open field,
- 16:18Speaker 4: ten to five touchdown. Terrible tackling by Utah and Martin
- 16:23Speaker 4: goes thirty eight yards for a Kansas State touchdown. They
- 16:27Speaker 4: had him at the light of scrimmage and they didn't
- 16:29Speaker 4: wrap him up.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and again it's that backside cutoff and guys are
- 16:34Speaker 3: just getting out of position here. Not really sure you
- 16:37Speaker 3: see You see that from time to time with this defense.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Early on teams kind of have you know, success rushing
- 16:43Speaker 3: and then in Utah kind of figures it out. But
- 16:46Speaker 3: that's a consistent part of this defense that's really struggled
- 16:48Speaker 3: all year to consistently stop the run.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Antonio Martin's first touchdown is a Wildcat and his longest
- 16:55Speaker 2: run of the year.
- 16:56Speaker 4: His previous long run was eleven yards.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Pat up and pahg good eight twenty nine to play
- 17:04Speaker 2: here in the first scot I think we have our answer.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Kansas State's coming to play today.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no question about it. And you know they're
- 17:09Speaker 3: lining up and pretty playing pretty basic defense and nothing
- 17:13Speaker 3: really spectacular. It's just it's about guys just not being
- 17:16Speaker 3: cap sound.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Time out on the field.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Will come back Canada or Utah will get it back
- 17:20Speaker 2: from Kansas State when we get back.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Seven nothing Wildcats.
- 17:23Speaker 2: This is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred and a
- 17:25Speaker 2: huge sports radio network. That scoring drive which included a
- 17:29Speaker 2: forty four yard playing, a thirty eight yard play with
- 17:31Speaker 2: six plays eighty five yards, and a thirty seven yard
- 17:35Speaker 2: touchdown run by Antonio Martin. Let's go down to Slide
- 17:38Speaker 2: for a sideline update.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Slide.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Utah's defense let them off the hook multiple times on
- 17:42Speaker 2: that drive.
- 17:43Speaker 6: Kansas State's not gonna just lay down for you. You got
- 17:46Speaker 6: to go in here and take it. And that's how
- 17:47Speaker 6: we started. We talked about early is starting fast. We
- 17:50Speaker 6: thought the QB ring game would be a factor, but
- 17:52Speaker 6: they're not even running a QB.
- 17:53Speaker 5: This is simple tackling, simple gap exchange.
- 17:56Speaker 6: That big run by Jackson is guys taking care of
- 18:00Speaker 6: their assignment right and the biggest Utah mantra is, do
- 18:03Speaker 6: your job.
- 18:04Speaker 5: You got guys not doing their job here on that drive.
- 18:06Speaker 6: The defense will wake back up, but we gotta we
- 18:09Speaker 6: gotta make sure.
- 18:09Speaker 5: Ken Sticks is not gonna lay down for you.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Eight twenty nine to play seven oh in Kansas State.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Here in the first quarter back deep to receive this kick,
- 18:16Speaker 2: Daniel Bray. We've not seen Daniel return kickoff, although looks
- 18:20Speaker 2: like he's playing flag football. He's got some long tassel
- 18:23Speaker 2: coming off of his pants down there. But Alanahan's got
- 18:27Speaker 2: a teed up at his own thirty five.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Those long flags make you look run fast, make you
- 18:31Speaker 3: look faster when you run.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Puts his right foot into It's a knuckling kick. Bray's
- 18:35Speaker 2: gonna take it at the goal line. Look at Daniel,
- 18:37Speaker 2: He's got the ten to the fifteen Daniel Bray twenty
- 18:40Speaker 2: twenty five, twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty yard
- 18:44Speaker 2: line for Daniel Bray. Nice return for that young man.
- 18:48Speaker 2: A gaggle of Wildcats tackling right there. We don't have
- 18:51Speaker 2: Dave Spataford with us here today. Instead, we've got Ryan
- 18:54Speaker 2: Gallan outstanding media relations man for Utah. Right now, guys,
- 18:58Speaker 2: first time Utah his railed since the end of the
- 19:01Speaker 2: BYU game.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Wow.
- 19:02Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty six minutes. Wow, in thirty one
- 19:05Speaker 2: seconds of football time.
- 19:06Speaker 3: That's a Savants stand stat right there for sure.
- 19:09Speaker 2: See what Utah does here, I'd say just run it
- 19:11Speaker 2: right at him. That was pretty successful. Here's Bray in
- 19:14Speaker 2: motion again. Devon's gonna roll to his right, look down
- 19:16Speaker 2: the field, pitch it into the flat and way Sean
- 19:19Speaker 2: Parker walks his way up that sideline. Where do they
- 19:21Speaker 2: finally mark him out of bounds. I'm gonna give him
- 19:24Speaker 2: five yards to the thirty five yard line.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Well done by Wayshan.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Yeah, that play has a lot you can do. Devon
- 19:28Speaker 3: can run it, he can throw it and picks the
- 19:31Speaker 3: best option he had got five yards.
- 19:34Speaker 2: JJ Bucannon split wide to the left hand side for Utah.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Parker stays in the backfield, brave the motion man. They
- 19:41Speaker 2: hand off.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Nope, Devon's gonna keep it himself out on the edge.
- 19:43Speaker 1: He's got the.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Thirty five stip bar thirty eight thirty nine yard line.
- 19:47Speaker 2: He dives forwards four yards. Wuamas made the tackle, but
- 19:50Speaker 2: not before Devon made him pay the price just a bit.
- 19:53Speaker 4: Third down in one coming up Yeah, first.
- 19:54Speaker 3: Series, Kansas State is all in zone. This series, it's
- 19:57Speaker 3: all about pressure and dev and sees it and makes
- 20:00Speaker 3: a very nice play big stef arm My boom. He's like,
- 20:03Speaker 3: gets that guy off him and gets a nice four
- 20:05Speaker 3: yard game.
- 20:06Speaker 2: So here we go. It's third down in a yard
- 20:08Speaker 2: at the Utah thirty nine way. Sean Parker up, Devin
- 20:11Speaker 2: dam Pierre gonna keep it himself to the forty threw
- 20:16Speaker 2: a hole and down to about the forty four yard
- 20:19Speaker 2: line for a five yard game.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Good decision by Devin. First down.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Utah gunner Maldonado. That name sounds familiar. Utah seen him
- 20:26Speaker 2: multiple times at the University of Arizona.
- 20:29Speaker 1: He was good safety there and shift offense. Two players
- 20:33Speaker 1: were in motion and if.
- 20:34Speaker 8: They's not in to set five yard federal means third down.
- 20:37Speaker 2: I did not see that flag, but that's gonna make
- 20:40Speaker 2: it a little bit more difficult now for Utah. Instead
- 20:42Speaker 2: of third and one, it's third down and six back
- 20:44Speaker 2: at the thirty four yard line.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Yeah. That last play though, is an indication of kind
- 20:47Speaker 3: of the fun part about this offense. You can hand
- 20:50Speaker 3: it to bray, you can keep it, you can keep
- 20:52Speaker 3: it and throw it there's just a lot you can do.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Damp Pierre in the shotgun. Parker motions out of the
- 20:57Speaker 2: backfield here on third down play acts and past Devin
- 21:00Speaker 2: looking down the field, tossing it down the Field's got a.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Man up and off the fingertips.
- 21:04Speaker 2: And there's gonna be the penalty. A late flag comes in.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Dallan Bentley was the intended receiver gunner. Maldonado I think
- 21:11Speaker 2: had a harle of one of his arms, and Dallan
- 21:15Speaker 2: looked for that flag and got that flag.
- 21:17Speaker 1: That's gonna be past interference on Kansas state.
- 21:24Speaker 8: Touss interference defense the senior federal way. What amount of
- 21:28Speaker 8: first down?
- 21:29Speaker 2: So Maldonado, who had a really nice career at Arizona,
- 21:33Speaker 2: transferred for his senior year to Manhattan, got called for
- 21:36Speaker 2: the hold in the hook of the arm of Dallon Bentley.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Will give Utah first down in Kansas State territory and'll
- 21:42Speaker 2: mark the ball all the way down to the k
- 21:43Speaker 2: States forty nine yard line or I'm sorry, the Utah
- 21:46Speaker 2: forty nine yard line, just shy.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Of k State territory.
- 21:50Speaker 2: First down Parker of the backfield Bentley in motion hand
- 21:54Speaker 2: off was Shan Wyshan rabbed around the ankles and he'll
- 21:58Speaker 2: pick up a yard of the fifty yard line. That's
- 21:59Speaker 2: about good job by Kansas State that time. Kind of
- 22:03Speaker 2: upfront their linebacker des Pernell led the way with the tackle.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Yeah, you talked about kind of this evolution of this offense,
- 22:08Speaker 3: and that third down was one of those situations you'd
- 22:11Speaker 3: look to see more of.
- 22:12Speaker 2: That second down at nine, Devon's gonna roll to the
- 22:16Speaker 2: right hand side, look down the field, throw outside wide
- 22:20Speaker 2: receivers got Ryan Davis fell down, but it's not a
- 22:23Speaker 2: very good pass anyway, and completed. It goes third down
- 22:25Speaker 2: and nine coming up. Rich had the tackle over the coverage,
- 22:27Speaker 2: I should say out there on David's.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's there's kind of a rhythm to when
- 22:30Speaker 3: you throw on the run. Devnon's usually pretty good at this.
- 22:33Speaker 3: He just looks a little kempy almost on that play.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Just doesn't doesn't look one hundred percent that all kind
- 22:38Speaker 3: of dove right into the ground.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Damn Pierce stays in third down at nine for Utah.
- 22:43Speaker 2: The ut row for one on third down, got to
- 22:46Speaker 2: get to the k State forty one movement up front,
- 22:49Speaker 2: that's gonna be five yards. I think on Kansas State
- 22:52Speaker 2: there was movement up front. I think Jordan now and
- 22:54Speaker 2: the buck backer may have been the guy that jumped
- 22:56Speaker 2: into the neutral zone and then Utah moved after. That'll
- 23:00Speaker 2: be a nice five yards if they get it. Here's
- 23:03Speaker 2: our referee.
- 23:05Speaker 8: Offside defense number ninety one, five yard huddle.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Name third vous Jordan Allen, the buckbacker who went to
- 23:11Speaker 2: the same high school. I went to Scott only because
- 23:14Speaker 2: South High School. Two most famous people.
- 23:16Speaker 4: Probably he's probably a little bit more famous than I am.
- 23:18Speaker 3: I don't yes, I don't understand how you get off
- 23:19Speaker 3: side the defensive lineman when they're doing the silent count.
- 23:22Speaker 3: It's just like, you know, maybe you're just trying to
- 23:24Speaker 3: anticipate or guess something, but never be offside.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Rogers and Bray the tailbacks. Third down and four, they
- 23:30Speaker 2: mentioned motion Rogers out of the backfield, Devin look at
- 23:32Speaker 2: the pass, throws the screen in the flat. Daniel Gray
- 23:35Speaker 2: turning on the Jets getting up field, right at the marker.
- 23:38Speaker 2: They're gonna give it to it already motioning first down
- 23:41Speaker 2: to the k State forty one yard line.
- 23:43Speaker 1: He needed four.
- 23:43Speaker 2: He got about four in a foot and it's a
- 23:46Speaker 2: Utah first down. At the drive stays alive.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Kind of a fun little wrinkle there, little screen pass,
- 23:51Speaker 3: you know, just get get get the ball into a
- 23:54Speaker 3: guy's hands. Nice cutback here, just being aware and getting
- 23:56Speaker 3: enough for the first down.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Rogers the tail back, Brave the most man, Devin Dan
- 24:02Speaker 2: Pierce spins out of a tackle at the line of
- 24:03Speaker 2: scrimach and picks up about three yards to about the
- 24:06Speaker 2: thirty eight yard line.
- 24:07Speaker 4: But Devin takes a lot of big hits, does he
- 24:09Speaker 4: scot YEA.
- 24:10Speaker 3: He really does. But you know it's it's in that
- 24:13Speaker 3: first series Kansas was just kind of sitting back and
- 24:15Speaker 3: they really have it. They've really come up, gotten more aggressive,
- 24:19Speaker 3: and it's that all right, you tah, We dare you
- 24:21Speaker 3: to throw the ball down the field, down the middle
- 24:23Speaker 3: of the field. Early on in this are really really
- 24:25Speaker 3: keying into the run here like that. But they weren't
- 24:28Speaker 3: in that first.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Drip second down at about seven way Sean Parker in motion,
- 24:33Speaker 2: Devin rolls to his right, looks down the field.
- 24:35Speaker 4: He's got a man open and he missed him.
- 24:38Speaker 2: At the sixteen yard line, Ryan Davis was open and
- 24:41Speaker 2: Devon missed him, and that would have been a big play,
- 24:44Speaker 2: maybe a touchdown if he completes that pass.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and Devin, you know he's got time here. Well
- 24:48Speaker 3: not really, it's so close. You just got to put
- 24:50Speaker 3: a little bit more air on that. But I love
- 24:52Speaker 3: the call because it's it's it's playing against the over
- 24:55Speaker 3: aggressiveness of his defense, and there are.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Shots like that down the field. Don't stop doing that
- 24:59Speaker 1: if you're Utah.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Might be four down territory if you talk and get
- 25:02Speaker 2: a good chunk here on third down and eight, they're
- 25:05Speaker 2: one for two on third down. They've got two receivers
- 25:07Speaker 2: to the right hand side in the back of the backfield. Damn,
- 25:11Speaker 2: Pierre's going to backpedal the pass. Now he's going to
- 25:13Speaker 2: step up and try to run and he's going to
- 25:15Speaker 2: be sacked back at the forty yard night. Now flags fly. Wow,
- 25:20Speaker 2: this might be a late hit on Kansas State. I
- 25:22Speaker 2: mean four flags flew on this play. This is going
- 25:25Speaker 2: to have to be against the Wildcats. I don't see
- 25:27Speaker 2: any other way. I think Malcolm out for in Crowder.
- 25:29Speaker 3: Yeah, it might be a face mask or some targeting
- 25:32Speaker 3: or something, but clearly an obvious call by the officials there.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Michael Mocafici asking for targeting. Here's the call personal foul,
- 25:41Speaker 2: late hit with targeting.
- 25:43Speaker 8: Defense number fifty two, fifteen yard penalty automatic first down.
- 25:48Speaker 1: That's Ryan Davis, who is under further review.
- 25:50Speaker 2: The other Ryan Davis, who plays defense for Kansas State.
- 25:55Speaker 2: We have not seen a lot of targeting penalties and
- 25:57Speaker 2: a lot of reviews this year. This was pretty obvious.
- 26:00Speaker 2: There were four flags that flew on this play.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Scott.
- 26:03Speaker 3: Yeah, and I haven't seen it under review, but clearly,
- 26:06Speaker 3: you know, if they all see it, it's something actually
- 26:10Speaker 3: happened right there. And you know, this defense plays hard,
- 26:12Speaker 3: plays aggressive sometimes you look, you get that quarterback in
- 26:16Speaker 3: there like that. Every defense wants to take any shot
- 26:18Speaker 3: the can on the quarterback. So we'll see how it
- 26:20Speaker 3: how it turns out here, I thought the big here
- 26:23Speaker 3: we go, big twelve. Oh, oh gosh, that's that's a yeah,
- 26:28Speaker 3: that's an injection right there.
- 26:29Speaker 1: That was clearly no question about it.
- 26:32Speaker 2: In the old days, they called that spearing. Remember it
- 26:35Speaker 2: used to leave your feet and launched with your helmet.
- 26:37Speaker 2: They used to call that spearing.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I mean.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Goodness, I just saw it for the first time in
- 26:44Speaker 2: slow motion.
- 26:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's he's on the ground right there.
- 26:47Speaker 2: There's not a chance that Ryan Buck is going to
- 26:50Speaker 2: stay in this ball game. Right now, it's gonna be
- 26:52Speaker 2: fifteen yards. It's gonna be a Utah first down to
- 26:54Speaker 2: about the twenty five yard line. But more than anything else,
- 26:57Speaker 2: Kansas State's gonna lose their outside defensive end.
- 27:00Speaker 8: After review, the ruling on the field of targeting is upheld.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Number fifty two. Is this ballifying? Wow?
- 27:07Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just really as still that the play was over.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Well, you have to wonder, you know, like you mentioned,
- 27:12Speaker 3: you know, Devin does take a lot of shots and
- 27:14Speaker 3: not a big guy, but he's not afraid to run
- 27:16Speaker 3: it inside those tackles. And I'm sure those players this
- 27:19Speaker 3: week it's like, hey, you get a chance to hit
- 27:21Speaker 3: the quarterback when he runs it in the middle of
- 27:23Speaker 3: the field, take your shot.
- 27:30Speaker 2: So first in ten Utah is Ryan Davis will go
- 27:33Speaker 2: to the sideline like not like the old days, though
- 27:35Speaker 2: he doesn't have to go to the locker room. He
- 27:36Speaker 2: just has to watch him the sideline Bird Ficklin of
- 27:38Speaker 2: the ball game. Now for Utah, two quarterbacks of the
- 27:41Speaker 2: ball game. Bird comes in. Devin lines up to his
- 27:44Speaker 2: left first in ten for the Kansas State twenty nine
- 27:47Speaker 2: who Bird's gonna keep it himself BYRD rule A hole
- 27:50Speaker 2: to the twenty and then driven backwards. And there's another
- 27:54Speaker 2: flag on the play. Two or more flags on the play. Yeah,
- 27:57Speaker 2: and you can see those.
- 27:58Speaker 3: Utah the coaches kind of freaking out over there. There's like,
- 28:03Speaker 3: I don't understand what's going on, but it looks like
- 28:05Speaker 3: this might be a face mask.
- 28:07Speaker 2: A bird's helmet came off on the play. Here's our
- 28:10Speaker 2: referee's gonna have this for us. There's aggression and then
- 28:14Speaker 2: there's stupidity and Kansas State the last couple of plays
- 28:16Speaker 2: is just not played very smart.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Here's the call.
- 28:21Speaker 8: Personal fall face mask defense number twenty.
- 28:25Speaker 3: How did this is to the goal from the end
- 28:26Speaker 3: of the run? Automatic first down?
- 28:29Speaker 8: Ralph fork and remain in the game because the helmet
- 28:32Speaker 8: was involved with the.
- 28:33Speaker 2: Pendanty Ralph Ortiz linebacker number twenty is who they called.
- 28:38Speaker 4: I'm not sure that was him. I think it was
- 28:40Speaker 4: twenty three.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Ye, Well, no, there's twenty.
- 28:42Speaker 1: What he's in there. It just rips the helmet off
- 28:44Speaker 1: there into the can you do your credit?
- 28:46Speaker 2: You need red zone go to utes first in ten
- 28:49Speaker 2: worst in gold at the Kansas State ten yard line
- 28:53Speaker 2: burn Fickman's your quarterback, Wiley Shawn Parker with him. Bird's
- 28:58Speaker 2: gonna keep it himself to the five four three two
- 29:02Speaker 2: one touchdown. Bird fick Limb the human highlight himself with
- 29:09Speaker 2: his eighth rushing touchdown and Utah pat away from tying
- 29:12Speaker 2: this what up?
- 29:13Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 29:13Speaker 3: You love that quarterback run down there because just have
- 29:16Speaker 3: an extra guy. But it just looked like like the
- 29:18Speaker 3: Bird was just soaring through that defense. I mean, he
- 29:21Speaker 3: just glided right through it. It looked like he was
- 29:24Speaker 3: in second gear. Just there's just something about his confidence
- 29:28Speaker 3: level is just so high right now, and you just
- 29:30Speaker 3: see even in the the presence of how he's running, there's.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Such a patience and then an explosion when he runs.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Pat coming up here for Dylan Curtis. That kick is up.
- 29:41Speaker 2: That kick is good. That dry for Utah.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Good answer.
- 29:44Speaker 2: Nine plays seventy yards, three thirty two off the game
- 29:46Speaker 2: clock in a ten yard Bird Ficklin touchdown, that touchdown
- 29:50Speaker 2: of pepsi touchdown time out of the field are rececle state.
- 29:53Speaker 2: He was four forty eight to play here the first
- 29:55Speaker 2: Utah seven in Kansas State seven. You talp fansdoup by
- 29:59Speaker 2: your local Jersey might because authentic ingredients to make it
- 30:01Speaker 2: a shub above. Try that number three when you're at

- 30:06Speaker 2: for ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Hey youton Man's all season long. Stop by your local
- 30:11Speaker 2: spists and save on your favorite Pepsi products. Pepsi was
- 30:14Speaker 2: made for utes watching seven to seven, four forty eight
- 30:17Speaker 2: to play here the first That was good answer, Scott, Yes.
- 30:21Speaker 3: It was, And that's what you'd like to see from
- 30:23Speaker 3: the team, that this whole idea of hey, maybe we
- 30:27Speaker 3: need to wake up a little bit. So there's the
- 30:29Speaker 3: thing about early games. You used to playing late ones.
- 30:31Speaker 3: So I love the answer. You know, they got a
- 30:33Speaker 3: little bit of help from from k State with some
- 30:36Speaker 3: of those those penalties there, but Utah to continue to
- 30:41Speaker 3: have success, they got to take advantage of play action.
- 30:44Speaker 3: Throw the ball. That's that's really what this Kansas State
- 30:47Speaker 3: defense is giving you right now, and Utah showed an
- 30:50Speaker 3: ability to do it. But you got to do don't
- 30:52Speaker 3: don't don't give up on that because they're big plays
- 30:54Speaker 3: to be had.
- 30:54Speaker 2: I'm not sure Avery Johnson could be wildly accurate against
- 30:57Speaker 2: Pressman coverage. There's not a lot of room, lot a
- 31:00Speaker 2: lot of windows. I'd press and bring a lot of
- 31:02Speaker 2: guys up to stop that run.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Yeah, and when you when you do that and you
- 31:06Speaker 3: get that when you're aggressive up front, you get that
- 31:09Speaker 3: early you know, gap sound, integrity and kind of get
- 31:13Speaker 3: that early surge off the line of scrimmage, stopping runs
- 31:16Speaker 3: before they start stifling them in the backfield. Press man
- 31:20Speaker 3: really challenge him, say hey, here we come. You know
- 31:22Speaker 3: you gotta beat us.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Billy Curtis has a teed up at his own thirty
- 31:26Speaker 2: five back teeth to receive the kick. De von reichs
- 31:31Speaker 2: well the Kansas State Wildcats. Last one was a touchback.
- 31:33Speaker 2: This one was going to be a touchback. See Rice says,
- 31:36Speaker 2: don't shout at the back of the end zone first
- 31:38Speaker 2: and ten Kansas State at their own twenty five yard line.
- 31:41Speaker 2: Cr England committed to fighting childhood hunger. In fact, they
- 31:44Speaker 2: have fed nearly thirteen million hungry children in Utah since
- 31:47Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. For every load they deliver as everyone as
- 31:50Speaker 2: well as every yard they gained. This you're a hungry
- 31:53Speaker 2: child gets fed, So text feed Utah kids to forty
- 31:56Speaker 2: one four four four today and joined the fight.
- 31:59Speaker 1: That's c R.
- 31:59Speaker 3: England.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Crowd is filled in nicely. Yet another sell out here
- 32:03Speaker 2: on Senior Day seven seven Kansas.
- 32:05Speaker 4: State football at their own twenty five Johnson out of
- 32:09Speaker 4: the shotgun, Joe Jackson.
- 32:10Speaker 1: To his left on first down in ten.
- 32:16Speaker 2: You taught crowds the line hand off Jackson, it's gonna
- 32:19Speaker 2: be a rehse. They've got running room thirty thirty five,
- 32:23Speaker 2: forty and down to the forty four yard line goes
- 32:26Speaker 2: Sterling Lockett's he is the brother of Tyler Lockett and
- 32:30Speaker 2: the son of Kevin Lockett, and he ran like his
- 32:32Speaker 2: father and his brother right there to pick up nineteen yards.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we talked about kind of those trick plays.
- 32:39Speaker 3: That's one that just kind of comes off of your offense.
- 32:41Speaker 3: You talk over pursuit on the backside. Just didn't see
- 32:44Speaker 3: that and just you know, kind of got sucked to
- 32:47Speaker 3: the inside.
- 32:49Speaker 2: First in ten Kansas State, after the eighteen yard game
- 32:52Speaker 2: to the forty three yard line.
- 32:54Speaker 4: Jackson stays in a tail bed. Johnson's gonna pass.
- 32:58Speaker 2: You saw rushing four into the outside, complete and.
- 33:02Speaker 1: That a bounds.
- 33:03Speaker 4: He's got one of his many tight ends.
- 33:05Speaker 2: That's Garrett Oakley, his best tight end, his best pass
- 33:07Speaker 2: catching tight end at a bounds right about midfield at
- 33:11Speaker 2: about the fifteen. They'll give it the Utah forty nine
- 33:13Speaker 2: yard line for a gain of eight. Second down at
- 33:16Speaker 2: two coming up, and a good throw there in a
- 33:18Speaker 2: good pocket. You know, sometimes you throw on first down
- 33:21Speaker 2: least likely time get less of a pass rush, and
- 33:25Speaker 2: Hay had all kinds of time to sit there and throw.
- 33:27Speaker 2: They did a nice job of this last drive of
- 33:29Speaker 2: this drive too, moving the football in the Utah territory
- 33:32Speaker 2: second and two pistol formation. Now as they shift the
- 33:35Speaker 2: two tight ends to the right hand side, offset I
- 33:38Speaker 2: formation to the pistol, hand off Adriy Johnson and he's
- 33:43Speaker 2: going to be dropped behind the light of drivage. John
- 33:46Speaker 2: Henry Daly got him his second tackle for loss today.
- 33:50Speaker 2: He's got sixteen on the year. Third down and long
- 33:53Speaker 2: coming up.
- 33:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is going to be a pass
- 33:56Speaker 3: right here. But it's just the over aggressiveness of John.
- 33:59Speaker 3: I mean, he just makes a b for everyone. He's like,
- 34:01Speaker 3: whoever has the pallamanted tackle of the tight end the back,
- 34:04Speaker 3: I don't care. And then Avery he doesn't even see him.
- 34:06Speaker 3: A just a great play. That's a huge play right there.
- 34:11Speaker 4: Wildcats one for two on third down. This is third
- 34:14Speaker 4: down and eight clock running at two fifty five to
- 34:17Speaker 4: play here the first quarter seven to seven inverted power
- 34:22Speaker 4: eye with Avery Johnson dotting the eye. Utah late to
- 34:26Speaker 4: sub now they do in a time out taking by
- 34:28Speaker 4: Kansas State.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Kansas State saw their first charge time out of the
- 34:32Speaker 1: half thirty second, so we'll keep it right here.
- 34:35Speaker 2: It reminds you to get game dated ready at the
- 34:37Speaker 2: Utah Campus Store, the official retailer of the U. Visit
- 34:40Speaker 2: Utah Campus Store today main Campus or Sandy or shop
- 34:43Speaker 2: online at store dot Utah dot edu.
- 34:46Speaker 1: What a year.
- 34:46Speaker 2: John Henry Dais had Scott second of the Big twelve
- 34:49Speaker 2: at sacks second of the Big twelve and tackles for loss.
- 34:52Speaker 2: He's got nine and a half sacks and now, but
- 34:55Speaker 2: I guess do we catch up? That was a sack
- 34:57Speaker 2: not exackly lost.
- 34:59Speaker 1: It really was going to be a pas.
- 35:00Speaker 2: So now he's got ten and a half sacks on
- 35:02Speaker 2: the area and by the way, a sack counts to
- 35:04Speaker 2: tackle for loss, so he's got sixteen of those. He's
- 35:07Speaker 2: top three in the country in both those categories.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just love the effort and energy.
- 35:11Speaker 3: But very athletic guy, I mean, and he makes a
- 35:14Speaker 3: lot of those open field tackles right there. You know
- 35:18Speaker 3: a lot of guys a lot of times guys hesitate,
- 35:20Speaker 3: and that that's the thing about him.
- 35:22Speaker 1: When he goes, he goes, and he doesn't wait, he
- 35:25Speaker 1: just goes. Here we go.
- 35:28Speaker 2: The LUs gets loud and does the third down jump,
- 35:31Speaker 2: third out of eight. Kansas stage from their own forty five.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Johnson to pass Utah bringing pressure here they come here
- 35:39Speaker 2: as he throws.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Is it caught?
- 35:41Speaker 6: It is?
- 35:42Speaker 3: What a grab?
- 35:43Speaker 1: What a throw?
- 35:44Speaker 2: Johnson took a lick but completed it to Jaron Tibbs
- 35:48Speaker 2: for twelve yards of the first down. And we've got
- 35:50Speaker 2: a player down for Utah. I think that's John Henry
- 35:53Speaker 2: Daily this this time out for an injured defensive player.
- 35:57Speaker 2: I don't know that that was a catch, John. He
- 36:00Speaker 2: just redirects himself and trips over his own feet. Yeah,
- 36:03Speaker 2: that was a non contact whatever it was on John
- 36:05Speaker 2: Henry Daily. But the training staff came running out to
- 36:08Speaker 2: check on him.
- 36:11Speaker 1: They've got time to look at this.
- 36:12Speaker 2: If you don't think it was a catch, I think
- 36:14Speaker 2: it's probably reviewable here right now, he's up. He's gonna
- 36:17Speaker 2: have to have some help. He's hopping with some help
- 36:19Speaker 2: to the sideline right now, not putting any weight on
- 36:22Speaker 2: that left leg.
- 36:22Speaker 1: That's a big loss for Utah.
- 36:24Speaker 3: That's not good at all. Hopefully. I thought he just
- 36:26Speaker 3: stepped on his toe. There's nothing more painful than to
- 36:28Speaker 3: step on your toe.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Boy.
- 36:29Speaker 2: What a throw though by Avery Johnson. I think he
- 36:32Speaker 2: had Jackson Benny o come the blitz right in his face.
- 36:35Speaker 3: Yeah. Sometimes, you know, you get so cute with those
- 36:37Speaker 3: blitz is. It looked like it's just going to be
- 36:38Speaker 3: a three man pressure and they blitz late. But oh man,
- 36:44Speaker 3: that's so hard. I don't know if his hands were
- 36:47Speaker 3: on the bottom of that or not. That's close not
- 36:49Speaker 3: to see if they they haven't reviewed it. They've had
- 36:52Speaker 3: plenty of time. It's gonna stand as a catch first
- 36:54Speaker 3: in ten Kansas State at the Utah forty five yard line.
- 37:00Speaker 3: Heck of a conversion by the Wildcats at Abray Johnson.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Johnson checks with the sideline. Now he's gonna change the
- 37:07Speaker 2: play twenty top of the play clock. Here Joe Jackson
- 37:10Speaker 2: just riping his running back Utah with six at the
- 37:12Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, gonna hand that ball to Jackson. He's
- 37:16Speaker 2: gonna get through the whole lookout running room again.
- 37:18Speaker 4: He's got the twenty fifteen and down at the twelve
- 37:21Speaker 4: yard line.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Smith's note and made the tackle.
- 37:24Speaker 4: Utah has been absolutely dashed by Joe Jackson in this
- 37:27Speaker 4: Kansas State running game. It's first down in ten Wildcats
- 37:31Speaker 4: at the Utah twelve.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just it's kind of you see this
- 37:36Speaker 3: defense that kind of when they catch guys, they don't
- 37:39Speaker 3: they just they see the read late and then these
- 37:42Speaker 3: linemen get up into them and they just aren't getting
- 37:44Speaker 3: off the blocks like they need to.
- 37:46Speaker 2: That's a thirty three yard day. Jackson has runs a
- 37:49Speaker 2: forty four and thirty three ninety five seconds to play clock,
- 37:53Speaker 2: running first and ten as Johnson goes under center for
- 37:55Speaker 2: the Utah twelve, turning a give again to Joe Jackson
- 38:00Speaker 2: to make it Martin this time. Martin down to the
- 38:02Speaker 2: six yard line and a touchdown saving tackle right there
- 38:05Speaker 2: in the six yard line by John o'home.
- 38:08Speaker 3: Yeah, and it really just controlling the line of scrimmage
- 38:11Speaker 3: right here. Uh, you know, getting off getting a nice
- 38:14Speaker 3: surge and people aren't getting off blocks.
- 38:17Speaker 2: Ronny simple second down and we'll call it four from
- 38:20Speaker 2: the Utah six for a minute to play here in
- 38:24Speaker 2: the first quarter, tied at seven. The Wildcats have figured
- 38:27Speaker 2: this Utah defense out. Martin stays in a tailback. They've
- 38:35Speaker 2: got three tight ends in the ball game, all of
- 38:38Speaker 2: the left hand side. Avery Johnson look at the roll
- 38:42Speaker 2: to his right and throat toward the end zone.
- 38:44Speaker 1: Caught touchdown.
- 38:47Speaker 4: He feathered that ball to Garrett Oakley and he went
- 38:50Speaker 4: up high to get it.
- 38:51Speaker 2: There were three Utah defenders there. Nobody could defend it.
- 38:54Speaker 2: And Garrett Oakley comes down with a touchdown. Yeah, that's
- 38:57Speaker 2: his sixth of the year. At case States back of
- 38:59Speaker 2: the league. He comes out of the backfield there. There's
- 39:02Speaker 2: a flag on the play here. I don't know if
- 39:05Speaker 2: it was after the touchdown or before the touchdown. Might
- 39:08Speaker 2: be a sideline penalty on Kansas State for celebration. We'll
- 39:10Speaker 2: see it's at about the three yard line.
- 39:13Speaker 3: Yeah, back to play, though. He throws it behind him
- 39:15Speaker 3: and it's kind of the only place he could throw
- 39:17Speaker 3: it to complete it.
- 39:20Speaker 2: These officials are discussing, and I don't know if this
- 39:22Speaker 2: is after the player, before the play or during the play.
- 39:26Speaker 3: It looks like the Kansas coach is pretty hot. Kansas
- 39:28Speaker 3: State coach pretty hot right now? Maybe it is against them.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Yeah, he's rig Chris Kleimban is down there losing his mind.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Here's the call, and that's never.
- 39:38Speaker 3: Received her downfield though.
- 39:39Speaker 2: First time the right tackle Andrew Langang was downfield.
- 39:48Speaker 1: How unbelievable.
- 39:50Speaker 2: I wonder Scott if he wasn't covered up and that
- 39:54Speaker 2: made him an eligible or an eligible receiver.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very possible.
- 39:59Speaker 1: But fresh, it's second down.
- 40:02Speaker 3: It's second down at nine now, lots of sort through
- 40:04Speaker 3: and the fact that they picked up on that and
- 40:06Speaker 3: saw it is printy remarkable.
- 40:09Speaker 4: Back of the eleven yard line, second down.
- 40:11Speaker 2: At nine forty seconds to play empty back. If you'll
- 40:16Speaker 2: watch the quarterback keeper right here, he'll run it. Movement
- 40:22Speaker 2: on the left guard. They say, I think it's John
- 40:24Speaker 2: pass story maybe the left they're saying. They're saying defense,
- 40:28Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they are. K State's pointing toward Utah. Utah's
- 40:33Speaker 2: pointing toward k State. What's the referee said?
- 40:35Speaker 8: I'll side defense in the ninety eight not the justice
- 40:39Speaker 8: of the goal.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Second down silly played by Dallas Baklaihi. You just gave
- 40:44Speaker 2: him five yards back.
- 40:45Speaker 3: You must have seen something. I don't know what he
- 40:48Speaker 3: saw right there, but this must have seen something. Yeah,
- 40:53Speaker 3: the guy didn't really move.
- 40:55Speaker 1: It's on Utah.
- 40:56Speaker 2: It's dumb play under center, goes Avery Johnson tail back
- 41:02Speaker 2: is a million miles behind you. Three tight ends on
- 41:06Speaker 2: the left hand side. Second down in four, hand off Jackson,
- 41:10Speaker 2: he cuts through, goes nowhere, stacked at the five, and
- 41:13Speaker 2: that's it. Gaggle of utahup front, Aliki Viamahi, John new
- 41:16Speaker 2: Hall and Lander Bartin all right there. Third down in
- 41:19Speaker 2: three at the five.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Yeah, that backside cutoff play is kind of in the
- 41:22Speaker 3: one and just a great job to get.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Off the block and make that make that tackle.
- 41:27Speaker 2: We're not gonna get another play here in the first quarter.
- 41:29Speaker 2: They're not gonna snap it here. There's fifteen second they're
- 41:33Speaker 2: letting going to let it go down and it'll be
- 41:35Speaker 2: third down in three of the Utah five going to
- 41:38Speaker 2: the south end of the stadium when we get back. Hey, fans,
- 41:42Speaker 2: is not only football season, but it's blanket season. Petru
- 41:45Speaker 2: to purchase your Minky blankets online or at any one
- 41:48Speaker 2: of their six locations.
- 41:49Speaker 3: That's the end of the first quarter.
- 41:51Speaker 2: Time out after a quarter of football here on Senior Day,
- 41:54Speaker 2: we've got a good football game, Utah seven Kansas State seven.
- 41:57Speaker 2: This is Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred and the
- 42:00Speaker 2: Youth Sports Radio Network seventy seven. As we head to
- 42:03Speaker 2: the second quarter, Kansas State's got it third and calling
- 42:07Speaker 2: about three from the Utah five. We wondered if Kansas
- 42:09Speaker 2: State would show up and play today. Well you've got
- 42:11Speaker 2: an answer. They've got one hundred and fifty two yards.
- 42:14Speaker 2: Utah's got forty five k State one hundred and twenty
- 42:17Speaker 2: three on the ground. That's been on three big runs,
- 42:20Speaker 2: a forty four, a thirty three, and a thirty seven
- 42:23Speaker 2: yard run. And by the way, none of them by
- 42:24Speaker 2: the quarterback Avery Johnson. They've all been by Joe Jackson
- 42:27Speaker 2: and Antonio Martin Junior. Utah's got forty five yards ten passing,
- 42:32Speaker 2: thirty five rushing. Got some help from some penalties as well.
- 42:35Speaker 4: But this Kansas State team, at least so far, Scott,
- 42:38Speaker 4: they're in the fight right now.
- 42:39Speaker 3: Well, it looks like Utah running the ball, but it's
- 42:41Speaker 3: Kansas State, and it's it's pretty It's not anything special.
- 42:45Speaker 3: It's just these offensive linemen doing a great job of
- 42:47Speaker 3: blocking getting off the ball in Utah kind of catching,
- 42:50Speaker 3: you know, not really being aggressive in the run and
- 42:53Speaker 3: stopping the run. And it almost like they it's almost
- 42:56Speaker 3: like Utah seems a little bit surprised by what's going
- 42:59Speaker 3: on from this Kansas State team. But uh yeah, and
- 43:02Speaker 3: I'm not concerned about it, but I you know, it's
- 43:05Speaker 3: something they got to make some adjustment adjustments here.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Utah football today being brought to you by two sponsors,
- 43:11Speaker 2: great sponsors, Pepsi, the official soft drink sponsor, and Smith's,
- 43:14Speaker 2: the official grocery sponsor of Utah Athletics. Either the offense
- 43:19Speaker 2: or the defense has looked really dialed in yet today.
- 43:22Speaker 4: We'll see what they do here.
- 43:23Speaker 2: But might even be two down, four down territory here
- 43:26Speaker 2: for Kansas State, third down and three for the Utah
- 43:29Speaker 2: five for the Wildcats. Avery Johnson brings his offense out.
- 43:32Speaker 2: He's got a lot of tight ends.
- 43:34Speaker 1: Man. They operate thirteen personnel.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Aged one kind of like Utah a few years ago.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Joe Jackson's gonna be the tailback.
- 43:43Speaker 2: This is the quieter end of the stadium for sure,
- 43:45Speaker 2: that south end zone with all the luxury suites and boxes,
- 43:49Speaker 2: but the must will be allowed here on third down,
- 43:51Speaker 2: Wildcats two for three. On third down, Johnson operates out
- 43:55Speaker 2: of the shotgun. It's a pistol formation. Johnson claps his hands,
- 44:03Speaker 2: takes the snap, hands to Jackson. Nope, he's gonna keep
- 44:06Speaker 2: it himself. Avery Johnson. Bounce into the outside and he'll
- 44:08Speaker 2: be into the end zone. That's a touchdown. There's the
- 44:11Speaker 2: legs of Avery Johnson. We knew at some point he'd
- 44:14Speaker 2: use him, and he does right there in case State's.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Back in front. Yeah, and you know, I mean it
- 44:19Speaker 1: just haven't seen him yet.
- 44:21Speaker 3: You know that he's good and he sees it right
- 44:23Speaker 3: there and so fast around that edge there that he's
- 44:26Speaker 3: just really hard to contain.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Cash Dylan bit on this done the dive play and
- 44:30Speaker 2: didn't have contained on the edge. It was well blocked.
- 44:32Speaker 2: And Avery Johnson has another rushing touchdown on the year.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Avery Johnson now with eight rushing touchdowns and Kansas State
- 44:39Speaker 2: back in front six seconds into the second quarter. Here,
- 44:41Speaker 2: Wildcats signed up for sixty and they've given it that
- 44:44Speaker 2: so far. Pat coming up here by Luis Rodriguez, good snap,
- 44:50Speaker 2: good hold, kick is up and through and it's fourteen
- 44:54Speaker 2: third to fourteen to seven. Kansas State here six seconds
- 44:58Speaker 2: into the second quarter and rise.
- 45:01Speaker 3: Well, you know, I don't I don't like to say this,
- 45:04Speaker 3: but but I do like this about this conference. You know,
- 45:06Speaker 3: this is is a coach who's one big and he's
- 45:09Speaker 3: a good coach, and he's not he's a guy. This
- 45:12Speaker 3: is not gonna let his team quit. And and that
- 45:15Speaker 3: you see a lot of that in the Big Twelve.
- 45:16Speaker 3: You know you're gonna get a lot of competitive ball
- 45:19Speaker 3: games in Kansas State doesn't have a whole lot to
- 45:21Speaker 3: play for other than their personal pride, and they're they're
- 45:23Speaker 3: showing it right now in this game you taught.
- 45:26Speaker 2: Football being brought to you by Slackwater Pizza. They've got
- 45:29Speaker 2: locations downtown out in Harriman, one down in Provo, Sandy

- 45:45Speaker 2: But it's a beautiful sunny day at Salt Lake City,
- 45:47Speaker 2: a perfect day for football in late November. Utah is
- 45:51Speaker 2: gonna have to try to answer now that touchdown by
- 45:54Speaker 2: Kansas State. That scoring drive eight plays seventy five yards,
- 45:58Speaker 2: took almost five minutes off the lock. Daniel Bray, who
- 46:02Speaker 2: returned the last kick thirty yards standing.
- 46:05Speaker 1: At his own goal line.
- 46:09Speaker 2: McClanahan approaches, puts his right foot into it, and this
- 46:12Speaker 2: one's gonna be a touchback. Come out to the twenty
- 46:15Speaker 2: five yard line, and that's where things will begin. First
- 46:17Speaker 2: and ten for Utah, Devin damp Pierre two out of
- 46:20Speaker 2: five for ten yards. Right now, he's run for fourteen
- 46:23Speaker 2: on three carries. Vick One's got two carries for thirteen
- 46:27Speaker 2: and was Shawn Parker three for thirteen. I still think
- 46:30Speaker 2: Utah's best weapon right now. Scott is just that straight
- 46:33Speaker 2: ahead run game.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, and that is really way Shawn Parker.
- 46:38Speaker 3: I mean, he's the guy that really feels it the
- 46:40Speaker 3: best in there and does a nice job with it.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Roger's your tailback, damp Pierre, your quarterback.
- 46:47Speaker 1: Bray comes in motion.
- 46:48Speaker 2: It's going to be a hand off, delayed handoff through
- 46:51Speaker 2: the hole at the thirty to the thirty five goes
- 46:53Speaker 2: Nate Johnson. Oh and they picked up eleven yards. Nate's
- 46:57Speaker 2: been a guy that's been a weapon on and off
- 46:58Speaker 2: for Utah. These you're a good left and yard carry on
- 47:00Speaker 2: first down and it'll bring up another first down here
- 47:03Speaker 2: for Utah.
- 47:04Speaker 4: Is there a flag on the play? There isn't the
- 47:06Speaker 4: secondary you see.
- 47:07Speaker 1: What it is.
- 47:10Speaker 8: There is no follow on the play for a leaving substation.
- 47:12Speaker 8: The twelfth man got off the sidelocked prior to the snap.
- 47:16Speaker 2: K State was late subbing, but they got their man on.
- 47:19Speaker 2: They'll give you a little leeway if you're pretty close.
- 47:22Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure how nice played by Nate Johnson.
- 47:24Speaker 3: They're showing a little wiggle with a lot of patience
- 47:26Speaker 3: to that offensive line where they do a good job
- 47:28Speaker 3: of engaging and just you know, half confidence to just
- 47:33Speaker 3: sit behind him.
- 47:34Speaker 2: Roger stays at the ball game. They're gonna run the
- 47:37Speaker 2: speed option to the outside. That's Nate Johnson. Nate up
- 47:40Speaker 2: the sideline and out of bounds. That's gonna be another
- 47:43Speaker 2: eleven yard game. They're actually gonna market right at the
- 47:46Speaker 2: marker a ten yard game.
- 47:48Speaker 1: U Is it a first down?
- 47:51Speaker 3: Yeah? This was pretty easy. I mean, anyone just collapsed
- 47:53Speaker 3: to the inside right there.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Act to back nice runs by Nate Johnson's guy.
- 47:56Speaker 3: Yeah, really nice and Nate just snipped it out and
- 47:59Speaker 3: he was ten yards for anyone even signed.
- 48:01Speaker 2: Now, Devon dam Pier back to the ball game, Nacari
- 48:04Speaker 2: Rodgers next to him, Devon's gonna throw to the outside
- 48:07Speaker 2: floater behind his mad A terrible pass. May have been
- 48:10Speaker 2: deflected at the line of scrimmage, may have been tipped
- 48:12Speaker 2: because that ball was way behind JJ Buchannana.
- 48:17Speaker 3: I hope it was tipped, because this is not No,
- 48:19Speaker 3: it wasn't tipped.
- 48:20Speaker 1: It's just it just came like a dust out of
- 48:22Speaker 1: his hand.
- 48:23Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like Devon's one hundred percent throwing in
- 48:27Speaker 3: football right now.
- 48:28Speaker 4: Doesn't feel like he's one hundred percent.
- 48:30Speaker 3: Period.
- 48:31Speaker 4: Second down in ten, they bring a man in motion.
- 48:35Speaker 2: They handed to that man fifty down to the forty
- 48:38Speaker 2: five goes Date Johnson again.
- 48:41Speaker 4: That's a pickup of nine.
- 48:42Speaker 2: Nate Johnson's been a big part of this offense early
- 48:45Speaker 2: on third down and one coming up in the k
- 48:47Speaker 2: states forty five yard blocks all you.
- 48:49Speaker 3: Nate's gone from zero to hero right here in this drive.
- 48:52Speaker 3: I mean, very impressive. You starting to see the athleticism.
- 48:55Speaker 3: Nice cut really does a nice job of going north
- 48:58Speaker 3: and south, and a really good job of all onto
- 49:00Speaker 3: the football.
- 49:00Speaker 1: That's kind of a thing that they had issues with.
- 49:04Speaker 2: And third down in one Utah one for two on
- 49:08Speaker 2: third down way Sean Parker, he'll be the Wildcat.
- 49:12Speaker 1: He's gonna keep it himself.
- 49:14Speaker 2: He's got first down yard it's spinning, turning and getting
- 49:17Speaker 2: down to almost the forty yard line for a gain
- 49:19Speaker 2: of five. Dez Pernell made the tackle for Wildcats. Keep
- 49:23Speaker 2: those chains moving. First down, Utah.
- 49:24Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough for run right there, wasshan if he
- 49:27Speaker 3: can sense that just the cutback right there, his boom
- 49:29Speaker 3: to the right was just huge.
- 49:31Speaker 1: But he finds this Crase gets first down, smart play.
- 49:35Speaker 2: Damp pier back at quarterback, Parker next to him, first
- 49:38Speaker 2: and ten at the K. Steve forty man in motion
- 49:41Speaker 2: to tie end hand off wayshon, Nope, they throw it
- 49:43Speaker 2: to the outside. That's gonna be Ryan Davis. Nope, that's
- 49:46Speaker 2: gonna be Creed win Amore and he'll pick up eleven
- 49:50Speaker 2: yards to the thirty make a twenty nine yard line.
- 49:53Speaker 2: Creed Wintemore becoming more and more a weapon here for Utah. Now,
- 49:56Speaker 2: Utah is gonna go with some tempo.
- 49:57Speaker 3: I like the action there where you know you're throwing
- 50:01Speaker 3: off a play action. It's wide open.
- 50:03Speaker 2: No, Ryan Davis Winnemore stays in first and ten from
- 50:06Speaker 2: the KSE eight twenty nine Damn Pierre shotgun hand off
- 50:09Speaker 2: way Sean Parker second level and down. He goes to
- 50:13Speaker 2: the twenty three yard line for a gate of six.
- 50:15Speaker 2: Gunner Maldonado made the tackle. One more Wigglescott and that
- 50:18Speaker 2: might have been a touchdown.
- 50:19Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's that North South running right here. That
- 50:22Speaker 3: just doesn't waste a lot of time. It wasn't a
- 50:24Speaker 3: big hole. He finds a slimmer of a hole. It
- 50:27Speaker 3: just gets up in there for about five or six.
- 50:29Speaker 2: Damp Pierre by himself in the gun. Now he'll bring
- 50:32Speaker 2: Parker in motion across the formation. Devon's gonna keep it,
- 50:35Speaker 2: throw it all down the field. He had a manned
- 50:37Speaker 2: wide open if you can at another pass that just
- 50:41Speaker 2: wobbled out of his hand incomplete third down coming up.
- 50:45Speaker 3: Yeah, and Devin, you know a couple of those throws.
- 50:48Speaker 3: He's gotten pressure in his face there. But you know
- 50:51Speaker 3: what you have to do is kind of I can't
- 50:53Speaker 3: really do much there. I mean just that's really not
- 50:57Speaker 3: his fault. It's just the pressure was there. Sometimes you
- 51:00Speaker 3: can kind of back up and save yourself a little
- 51:02Speaker 3: bit of time, but he couldn't do it right there.
- 51:04Speaker 2: So third down at about four almost five yards here
- 51:07Speaker 2: for Utah, they're three make it two out of three
- 51:10Speaker 2: on third down, full house backfield here, hand off way
- 51:13Speaker 2: Sean Parker. He's got running room inside the twenty and
- 51:17Speaker 2: out of the eighteen yard line. He just picked up
- 51:18Speaker 2: seven yards and Utah's in the canyon review Credit Union.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Red zone again.
- 51:23Speaker 2: VJ payed the strong safety with the tackle for the Wildcats.
- 51:26Speaker 3: I'll tell you what was So that offensive line basically
- 51:29Speaker 3: picked up the defensive line and just moved him. I
- 51:31Speaker 3: mean it just moved time out for a medical review.
- 51:36Speaker 3: Oh that's interesting.
- 51:37Speaker 2: A medical review that means they think somebody took a
- 51:40Speaker 2: shot to the head.
- 51:41Speaker 3: Yeah, so they have someone who sits up in a
- 51:43Speaker 3: booth and they just watched plays and they actually go
- 51:46Speaker 3: and it's probably a play that happened.
- 51:48Speaker 1: You know, it's Devon.
- 51:50Speaker 2: It was the play before Scott when he got tackled,
- 51:53Speaker 2: his head hit the turf. Uh So, Devin Dan Pierre
- 51:58Speaker 2: is going to be as just see sense to the
- 52:00Speaker 2: medical tent to be looked at here and he will
- 52:04Speaker 2: sit down I think for at least a couple of
- 52:06Speaker 2: plays while they check him out. It's not something you
- 52:09Speaker 2: see a lot, or maybe not, you just you don't
- 52:12Speaker 2: see a lot of it, and I think they just go.
- 52:15Speaker 3: Hey, is everything Okay. There's a protocol that they that
- 52:19Speaker 3: they established before the game about Okay, this is what happens.
- 52:24Speaker 3: If we see something we're concerned about, We're going to
- 52:27Speaker 3: go down to the field and the medical staff will
- 52:29Speaker 3: review or analyze the player and make a decision a determination.
- 52:33Speaker 2: Well, he's not gone to the tent. He is on
- 52:35Speaker 2: the field still with his teammates, so I guess they're
- 52:40Speaker 2: evaluating up top whether they know now he is yep.
- 52:43Speaker 2: Now he's being walked back to the tent and doctor
- 52:46Speaker 2: Dave Petron and the medical staff will take a look
- 52:48Speaker 2: at him. That means we'll see Bert Ficklin here on
- 52:51Speaker 2: first intent for the Kansas State nineteen yard line.
- 52:53Speaker 3: I mean, that's a tough thing. I mean, you want
- 52:55Speaker 3: to you want player safety right there, but you're going
- 52:57Speaker 3: into score and they go, uh, yeah, we gotta check
- 52:59Speaker 3: this guy out here. It's that that's tough to handle,
- 53:02Speaker 3: but you want to make sure these players are are
- 53:05Speaker 3: healthy and safe.
- 53:06Speaker 2: Well, the good news for Utah is they've got a
- 53:09Speaker 2: tailback who's or a quarter backup quarterback who's really really good.
- 53:13Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is where you use him down here too.
- 53:15Speaker 2: So he scored their only touchdown today. Ten yard run
- 53:18Speaker 2: the two drives of your last drive. So the muss
- 53:21Speaker 2: is given the bird signal, and it's not that one
- 53:23Speaker 2: finger one over, it's the other One's the bird. Fickland
- 53:28Speaker 2: picklin in the shotgun. He's gonna keep it himself on
- 53:30Speaker 2: that right side. Picks his way through the hole he's
- 53:32Speaker 2: at the ten, stays on his feet to the five.
- 53:34Speaker 2: Burd Fickland just tripped up a bit at the six.
- 53:38Speaker 2: It'll be first in goal Utah. Cody Stufflebean made the
- 53:41Speaker 2: touchdown seeming tackle for the Wildcats.
- 53:44Speaker 3: And Bird's like, well, wait a minute, I'm still in
- 53:46Speaker 3: the game. I gotta get back here and call some plays.
- 53:48Speaker 2: Utah is gonna go with some tempo on first in
- 53:50Speaker 2: goal for the six yard line, Bird again calling his
- 53:53Speaker 2: own number, picking his way le touched into.
- 53:56Speaker 1: The end zone. Touchdown.
- 53:59Speaker 4: The Bird is caged into the north end zone and
- 54:02Speaker 4: Utah's up pat away from tying it up.
- 54:06Speaker 1: What a great play. Great, it's a great thing.
- 54:08Speaker 3: But it's that offensive line and was Shaun Parker just
- 54:11Speaker 3: has a tremendous block here on the outside.
- 54:14Speaker 1: Uh.
- 54:14Speaker 3: And it's I don't know how many times we've seen
- 54:17Speaker 3: this where these guys run like nobody touches them like
- 54:20Speaker 3: it's it's the strangest thing in the world. And it's
- 54:23Speaker 3: just that offensive line.
- 54:24Speaker 2: They're just about saying, it's not strange with the offensive
- 54:26Speaker 2: lines as good as these guys are.
- 54:28Speaker 1: But again, the patients of Fickland.
- 54:30Speaker 4: He's just so good Scott at setting up those blocks.
- 54:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 54:35Speaker 2: Well, I mean to know what, togy I came around
- 54:37Speaker 2: that edge too and just looked for somebody to line
- 54:40Speaker 2: up and built pat up pat good gosh. And there's
- 54:46Speaker 2: that cannon telling you we're tied at fourteen with eleven
- 54:49Speaker 2: eleven to play here in the first half. Time out
- 54:52Speaker 2: of the field, we're back to Rice Egle Stadium in
- 54:54Speaker 2: the big O'd tires broadcast booth. Next, this is Utah
- 54:57Speaker 2: Football for ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Networks.
- 55:00Speaker 1: You buy pepsi.
- 55:01Speaker 2: That last touchdown by Utah Rossky by Pepsi as well. Sly,
- 55:05Speaker 2: what did you make of the drive, and what did
- 55:08Speaker 2: you see when damp Pier got hurt and Fickland came in.
- 55:11Speaker 6: Well, scot Or Bill, it's exactly what you've been saying.
- 55:15Speaker 5: This straight ahead running game.
- 55:16Speaker 6: This offensive line is doing an amazing job of moving people,
- 55:19Speaker 6: re establishing the line of scrimmage and moving past. That's
- 55:22Speaker 6: what we got it. We don't have to throw the ball.
- 55:24Speaker 6: We can run the ball all game. But that's a
- 55:26Speaker 6: lot more aggressiveness in the play calling and execution by
- 55:29Speaker 6: the guys. But Burt Finkland, man, he is terrific lightning
- 55:32Speaker 6: in a bottle. As soon as he touched the football
- 55:34Speaker 6: on that first carry, big carry, hits all the way
- 55:37Speaker 6: down to the five yard line.
- 55:38Speaker 5: He's like, man, I should have stayed up. But he's like,
- 55:40Speaker 5: oh crap, we're gonna run this play again.
- 55:42Speaker 6: The defense saw them say we're gonna run it back
- 55:44Speaker 6: and still did not make any adjustments.
- 55:46Speaker 5: Burt f Eckland is that guy.
- 55:49Speaker 4: Well, that offensive line are those guys as well?
- 55:52Speaker 2: They are really really good. We're tied in fourteen with
- 55:54Speaker 2: eleven eleven to play. Dylan Curtis will kick it south
- 55:57Speaker 2: to north here at Rice et Gould stadium. Davon Rice
- 56:00Speaker 2: stands at his own goal line. He's not had a
- 56:02Speaker 2: chance to return one quite yet.
- 56:04Speaker 3: Today.
- 56:05Speaker 4: You see, if Dylan gives him a chance here or
- 56:06Speaker 4: he kicks.
- 56:07Speaker 2: It through the end zone, this one's high and end
- 56:11Speaker 2: of rett returnable. If Rice wants to, and he doesn't,
- 56:13Speaker 2: it only hits a yard deep in the end zone.
- 56:16Speaker 2: He'll take it at the twenty five yard line. Every
- 56:18Speaker 2: team's got a different approach to returns. Clearly K State
- 56:21Speaker 2: doesn't want to bring it out, you know.
- 56:23Speaker 3: I've just noticed through the years they just seem to
- 56:25Speaker 3: not kick the ball as far. When they kick it north,
- 56:28Speaker 3: it just seems to travel better in the south. And
- 56:30Speaker 3: I don't know if it's the design of the stadium
- 56:33Speaker 3: or what it is, but and it's a thing. Stadiums
- 56:36Speaker 3: have a design. In the wind, the wind does blow
- 56:39Speaker 3: different in the stadium as it ricochets off of walls.
- 56:42Speaker 4: No.
- 56:42Speaker 2: John Henry Daily on the field for Utah. He was
- 56:44Speaker 2: helped off the field of a last drive. Lance Holtzklaw
- 56:47Speaker 2: in a defensive end K State from their own twenty
- 56:50Speaker 2: five yard line, operating out of the pistol. Two tights
- 56:54Speaker 2: and two wives hand off. Nope, but throw it to
- 56:57Speaker 2: the outside. They've caught by Tibbs. He's wrapped up immediately
- 57:00Speaker 2: by Blake Cotton. It's a good throw by Johnson. Cotton
- 57:03Speaker 2: was right there. It's a four yard maybe five yard game.
- 57:06Speaker 2: Second down coming up.
- 57:08Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like Cotton didn't think it was going to
- 57:10Speaker 3: be a pass. I don't know, he just didn't. He
- 57:12Speaker 3: was right there, but he just kind of didn't make
- 57:14Speaker 3: even a play for the ball. Of course, he did
- 57:16Speaker 3: get pushed off a little bit.
- 57:18Speaker 2: Second down, hand off, Joe Jackson picks up three to
- 57:21Speaker 2: the thirty three. That's a play that's gone for big
- 57:24Speaker 2: plays so far today for Kansas State.
- 57:26Speaker 4: Jackson Betty made the tackle. Third down of two coming up.
- 57:28Speaker 3: Yeah, this offensive line is getting some movement in that
- 57:31Speaker 3: interior of this Utah defense.
- 57:34Speaker 2: Wildcatsing converted their last three third downs there, three out
- 57:37Speaker 2: of four. Utah stopped him on the opening drive. Haven't
- 57:40Speaker 2: stopped him on third down.
- 57:41Speaker 1: Since this is where you might see Avery Johnson again.
- 57:44Speaker 2: Ten twenty o the'clock running to play here. The first
- 57:46Speaker 2: half tied at fourteen, third down in two, Kansas State
- 57:49Speaker 2: at their own thirty three. Utah's going to crowd the
- 57:52Speaker 2: line of scrimmage and played man out across the formation. Here,
- 57:56Speaker 2: Avery Johnson did the shotgun Jackson next to it. Third
- 58:01Speaker 2: down handoff Jackson, Johnson keeps it and he falls for Woo.
- 58:05Speaker 2: They mark him down shy, oh boy, I thought he
- 58:07Speaker 2: had it. They marked him down a half yard shot
- 58:09Speaker 2: john Wu Hall made the tackle. It's gonna be fourth down.
- 58:12Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know what they sought right there. It
- 58:13Speaker 3: just maybe his knee went down.
- 58:15Speaker 2: Or apparently must have gone down before he lunched over
- 58:18Speaker 2: the thirty five.
- 58:18Speaker 1: It's fourth down half a yard case.
- 58:19Speaker 3: State's keeping the offense out of there, and both those
- 58:21Speaker 3: officials made that call too, on both sides, so they
- 58:24Speaker 3: must have must have really seen something. A big fourth
- 58:27Speaker 3: down first time either team's gone forth on fourth down
- 58:30Speaker 3: today from their own thirty just shining their own thirty
- 58:32Speaker 3: five Kansas States.
- 58:33Speaker 4: Huh, that's a big call here. By climbing in a
- 58:38Speaker 4: time out, who's taking this time out?
- 58:40Speaker 8: I think the prettiest playing is under the review to
- 58:43Speaker 8: see if the runner came the Lions game.
- 58:46Speaker 2: Well, what's interesting is the officials on both sides Scott, Yeah,
- 58:50Speaker 2: upper part of the field, lower part of the field,
- 58:52Speaker 2: both marked him down.
- 58:53Speaker 4: They must have seen a ne go down.
- 58:55Speaker 2: But the fact that they're reviewing this means somebody upstairs
- 58:58Speaker 2: called for this review.
- 58:59Speaker 3: Yeah, and it looks it's like his leg is dragging
- 59:01Speaker 3: right here, and it's just yeah, I think it got it.
- 59:05Speaker 3: I don't know, but it is is leg. You can't
- 59:07Speaker 3: really see it from the view we saw right there,
- 59:09Speaker 3: but it sure looks like I.
- 59:11Speaker 2: Think his leg was dragging, but the knee didn't hit
- 59:14Speaker 2: till he was extending over the thirty five. I think
- 59:16Speaker 2: this review is going to give them the first down,
- 59:18Speaker 2: but we'll see.
- 59:19Speaker 3: So there's it on the big screen. It's just hard
- 59:22Speaker 3: to see. Got a klump of Utah guys in the way.
- 59:26Speaker 3: See that back leg right there is down.
- 59:30Speaker 2: Our referee to Nats, Stephen Barron, he's looking at it
- 59:32Speaker 2: himself down at the other end of the stadium. South
- 59:35Speaker 2: ended about the sixteen yard line. First half today being
- 59:39Speaker 2: brought to you by Budweiser and Heuser Bush and Budweiser,
- 59:41Speaker 2: Bud Light as well Easy to Drink It, Easy to Enjoy.
- 59:45Speaker 2: Utah fourteen and Kansas State fourteen with nine to twenty
- 59:48Speaker 2: seven to play. Utah after stopping Kansas State on their
- 59:51Speaker 2: opening drive has not had great success.
- 59:56Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, he hesitates, he doesn't he kind
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: of like he doesn't really go forward very much. But again,
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: it looks like that knees down now. Just where the
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: ball is when it when it happens, we'll see, I
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: don't know.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: First half today.
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: Also being brought to you by Doe Tara, the official
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: Essential Oil partner of University of Utah Football. Good to
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: have Dough Tara on board with us as well. Second
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: to last game of the year. We'll be in Lawrence,
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Kansas next Friday. It's a Friday game. It's a ten
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: am Mountain time kick eleven am Lawrence time kick against
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: the Kansas Jayhawks, who were losing pretty big earlier today.
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: I haven't seen the final score yet, but they were
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: losing pretty big. Here's the call for the referee.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: After further review, the ruling on the field is upheld.
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: The fourth down. It's a fascinating process. They go through
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: and they really dissect it, talk about it, look at
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: all the angles, and you know, for the most part
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: they get it right. But those those officials they saw it,
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: they with conviction. Good call for them.
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: So a big fourth down coming here Climbent's keeping his
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: offense out there.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: Gotta wait on TV.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: They took a short time out, but it's a big,
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: big call here. It could be a huge switch of
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: momentum if Utah's defense comes up with a stop.
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: Yeah, And every time Kansas State has had to pick
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: play where they've needed the touchdown, they needed the first
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: down right there. The ball's in Avery Johnson's hands, and
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: so I don't think that's gonna be a whole lot
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: different here.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: You know, I think you could almost run the quarterback
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: sneak here too, Scott. Avery Johnson's got pretty good lower
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: leg power, and I would almost think I wouldn't even
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: think about running it wide. I think i'd just call
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: Avery Johnson's name, get behind that center. You're a big
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: quarterback sneak proponent.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you know, you do what you have to
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: do for the team, and I'll just tell you, as
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: the quarterback, you take one for the team when you
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: do that quarterback sneak. Those guys like to hit you
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: and you're kind of charge with your head, so it's
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: not not very pleasant, But there's an art to it
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: finding that hole, and they've changed it with that tushbus thing.
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: But here we go fourth and half a yard for
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Kansas State. They line up in the shotgun. Utah crowds
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: the line right now, pistol formation, tight end comes.
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: Into the left hand side.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: Johnson turns, gives Jackson there he goes forty thirty twenty
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: ten to five touchdown. Joe Jackson just went sixty five yards.
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: The Utah defense has given up runs of forty four,
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: thirty seven, thirty three, and sixty five today and that's
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: a touchdown.
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's just, you know, guys, we're out of
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: position in those gaps and you have everyone at the
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: line of scrimmage and you got no one in the
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: middle of the field. Look like everyone went to the outside,
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: almost like they were expecting Avery Johnson to get the
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: ball and kind of been the way this game's gone.
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: And they just said, hey, Avery's not going to run it.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: We're just going to give it to our back. Here.
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: Joe Jackson has seven carries for one hundred and forty
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: four yards and that's sixty five yard touchdown right there.
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: Pat By Rodriguez up and good. With nine oh seven
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: to play, here is Kansas State twenty one, Utah fourteen.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: You know we'll talk about this when we come back.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: We've got a time out on the field for the
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: Big Old Tires Broadcast booth at Utah Football from ESPN
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: seven hundred to Youth Sports Radio Network Macketri Segels Stadium.
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: Kansas State has come to play here in Salt Lake today.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: Folks that drive on fourth down and half a yard.
- 1:03:31Speaker 4: Joe Jackson went sixty six to.
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: The house four plays, seventy five yards Jackson's first touchdown today.
- 1:03:38Speaker 4: He's got seven carries for one hundred and forty four.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: Kansas State has one hundred and ninety six yards rushing
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: scot here in the first half.
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: We still have nine minutes to play. It's a head scratcher,
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: that's for sure. And it just feels like this defense
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: is almost lost, like they've lost all gap integrity. They're
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: just kind of running around, uh And I don't know
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: if it's the every Johnson effect that they're more concerned
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: about him. They got guys kind of flying to the
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: outside and just forgetting you got to take care of,
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: you know, business from the inside out, and then they're
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: just not doing it.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: This is like the seventh mobile quarterback they faced this year.
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: It's amazing Rodrigueck McClanahan has it teed up. Kick it
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: Daniel Braid back deep to receive k State kicking north
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: to south. Here at rice ecles now leading twenty one
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: to fourteen high and end over and kick that one
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: will not be returned. And here's will have it first
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: lieutenant for twenty five. What's gonna be interesting to see
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: here is who's the quarterback? Devin dan Pierre is Well,
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: he's out. He's out there on the field. He has
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: been off today. He's three of eight for twenty one
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: yards throwing, and he had to come off on the
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: last drive for a I guess a concussion examination after.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: He hit his head.
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: Yeah. And Bert Ficklin's in there as well. Yep.
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: Both of them are looking at their play sheets.
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: So Daniel Brady split out wide right now. Damn periods too.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: Bird's by himself in the backfield. Kansas stayed with fourth
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. They bring Bray in motion, they
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: handed to Nope, burd Ficklin's got it. Bird's gonna get
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: back to the line of scrimmage, pick up a yard
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: and that's it. Well, that wasn't going anywhere. Alex van
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Way hed to tackle bird kept it. He had Daniel
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Braid gotten that, he would have lost seven.
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: Yeah, the state is selling out right now, just a
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: little too late.
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: If if a bird could have gotten to the outside,
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: he had a huge hole there inside.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: The linebacker did a nice job of recovering and tackling.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: Second down to nine.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: Dann Piers in quarterback this time for Utah. Play action,
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: grow over the middle, it's behind the man, and then dropped.
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: He had Dallan Bentley wide open at the forty five yard.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: Line and it was behind him.
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad to see that Utah still has a
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: willingness right here to do that and just yeah, that's
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: a tough play.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: You gotta just feather it in there right there, just
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: way behind down.
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: Bad pass. I mean he hits him in stride. That
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: might be, I don't know, to be a touchdown, but
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: it'd be a thirty thirty yard game.
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: Third down at nine now for Utah.
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: They're three out of four case states showing pressure. Blake
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: locks at thirteen. Damn Pier backs up into the shotgup
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: with Parker. He's gonna pass on third down at nine.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: Devin looking down the field, throwing down the field, he's
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: got Bucannon out.
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: There, Pot thirty twenty five, fifteen and down to the
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: thirteen yard line goes J J.
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: Bu Cannon.
- 1:06:27Speaker 7: B J.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: Payne made the tackle. What a catch by Buchanan. A
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: heck of a throw as well, and we've got a
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: flag on the play. Is this one coming back?
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think it's it's either pass
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: interference or holding there. But what a tremendous holding defense.
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: M A zero I. Cud Of is the five and
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: he's holding the players the first time.
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: Fort and Berry guy Hell called for the hole, but
- 1:06:49Speaker 4: it didn't.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: Matter except the foals on number seventh.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: The longest pass play of the season for Utah, sixty
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: yards to the Kansas State fourteen yard line.
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: Well, and you know, damn Pierre has been off on
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: his throats, not all that one right on the money
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: right there and just advantage height, advantage ball in the right.
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: Location inside the canyon view Credit Union red zone. Wayshan Parker,
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: the Wildcat Wayshan to the fifteen. He's gonna lose a
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: yard Gate Powers of Will linebacker made the tackle. It
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: was about the first time we've seen a running back
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: from Utah stopped at Wyshan as well for a one
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: yard loss.
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: Yeah, just almost just a little too long to develop
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: right there. Wayshan's got to tuck back to the inside there.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: He just wasn't.
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: You got to see the inside stay inside of those alignment.
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: Sack it down at eleven.
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: At the Kansas State fifteen create, Whittemore comes in motion.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: Damp Pierre's gonna roll to his right throat to the outside.
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: He's got Winnemore out.
- 1:07:46Speaker 4: There and out of bounds and about the k State
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: eleven Biggie the eight yard line.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: That's where they market.
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: It's gonna be a game of seven yards third down
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: and about four coming up here for Utah.
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: That's a tough row and and that that looking back
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: in the sun right there's got to be tough.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: That's a great catch by Whinnimore.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: See if Kyle Wittigham treats this his four down territory.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: If so, you could run the football twice here. Damp
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: Here's going to be your quarterback. He stands to the
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: gun alone. Daniel Gray of a left slot third down
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: in four break comes in motion. Devon's gonna keep it himself,
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: pick it his way forward.
- 1:08:25Speaker 4: He's to the outside five four three Pilon touchdown.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: Devin damp Hare.
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: Reached out at the pylon, touched it in into the
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: end zone an eight yard touchdown run, and Utah answers
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: the case state touchdown.
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: Well, this was supposed to go a lot of places
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: and where it ended up was not one of them.
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: I mean, he just on his own, just did a
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: remarkable job. And uh he bounced back and bounced desment
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: further back and just made that looked like a typical
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: Uh seen that for a while there, but boy, what
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: a great read by him. Just tucks up in. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope,
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: and yes, just great effort.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: Pat up, pat good after the Pepsi touchdown.
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: An excellent answer by the Utah offense.
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: After k Steve took the lead, six plays seventy five yards,
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: the big one coming on the sixty yard pitch a
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: catch to JJ Buchanon. It's Utah twenty one in Kansas
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: State twenty one, with six fifty one to play here
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: in the first half, back and forth we go here
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: right Secle Stadium.
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: Scott Mitchell, I will just tell you that play was
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: not designed to go. I mean, it was his fourth
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: and last place to go, he's kind of dipped to
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: the left, and then he dipped in the next gap
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: to the right, and the next gap to the right,
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: and then he went around the edge. And all that
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: means is it's about the blocking up front. I can't
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: I can't emphasize it enough. If you block guys, you
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: engage them, it gives the guy a chance to make
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: a play like that. Just that just oh, it's just
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: all about effort, and it's it's something that's truly special.
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: This this whole Utah offense does it not just the
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: offensive lineman.
- 1:10:08Speaker 4: Now, let's see if the Utah defense, who was gashed
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: through the air last week, they're being gashed on the
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: ground here today to the two of one hundred.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: And ninety six yards.
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: Let's see if they can figure some things out this
- 1:10:19Speaker 4: time around.
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is a huge part of the game
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: because if you can stop them, get the ball back
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: score again, and then you get the and then you
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: get the ball first coming out at the second half.
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: This is I'm sure these coaches for the defense are like,
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: what the heck, guys, you know, just let's play sound
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: gap football will be fine.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: He'll journeys approaches, puts his right foot into it. This
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: will be a touchback.
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: K States showed no insley to want to return a kick,
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: but they haven't really needed to so far.
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: Twenty one twenty one, our score with six and fifty.
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: Want to play and now you get the north end
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: zone at your back. Let's see if the defense can
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: keep them pinned back up north.
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be interesting. You know, Kansas State's not doing
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: a lot of really tricky thing. They're just kind of
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: straight ahead, zone read type of stuff. This offensive line
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: for Kansas statement they've done is a very exceptional job blocking.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: Jackson's your tail back.
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: They line up in kind of an offset pistol formation,
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: tied end to the right slot first and Tennis Johnson
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: checks with the k State sideline, takes the snap, turns it,
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: hands to Jackson again, Joe Jackson bouncing to the outside.
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: He'll be taking down after a five.
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: Yard game by Jackson Betty in about the twenty five
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: yard line and Jackson is running something off right. They're
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: doubled over at about the forty yard line. He's gonna
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: have to, I think, come out of the ball game here.
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: We'll see.
- 1:11:40Speaker 4: Yeah, they're gonna have to substitute for him.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: This this time off for an injured defensive player.
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the one that made the tackle there. It
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: looked like maybe his legs were cramping up or something.
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: Is just trying to get it. But again, I mean
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: that play was strung out forever and there was no
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: one who came up in support to really turn that
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: ball back to the end. And just too easy of
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: a four yard game right there.
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: Nate Tilwyn comes in for Jackson Betty. Second down and.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: Five and a half.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: Antonio Larkin the tailback this time for Kansas State. Avery
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: Johnson out of the shotgun. He's got a backpedal to
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: pass over the middle's got a tight end, falls out,
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: it's incomplete.
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: That was the tight end.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Let's see who that was. Will Enstone.
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: After he went in complete that would have been a
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: first down and said it hit his hands and went
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: in complete. Third down at five coming up.
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is just kind of simple football
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: right there, and find a hole in his zone and
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: should have cot k.
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: State three to five on third down. Utah stopped them
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: their last time, but then they converted for the touchdown
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: on fourth down for the k State thirty. Johnson and
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: the gun. He's got a backpedal Utah bringing pressure.
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: He throws.
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: It's incomplete, but we're gonna have a whole or a
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: pass interference on Utah. They were trying to get that
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: ball to the tight end Oakly and there was a
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: big old collision right at the thirty five yard line.
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: Yeah, Tayo got an out of position and he really
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: kind of grabbed him. He's running a slant route and
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: probably a good call by the official.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: Another opportunity.
- 1:13:16Speaker 4: Here's the call for the referee has interference.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: Defense number five.
- 1:13:19Speaker 8: The boll replaced at the spot of the file automatic
- 1:13:22Speaker 8: first down.
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: Another time where Utah's let Kansas State out of the
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: box on third.
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: Down, Well, Utah's lined up incorrectly to begin with. Taale
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: comes down late. He's out of position. There's confusion about
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: where they're supposed to line up, and so he's late
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: to the party and he's late to the ball and
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: just not a good thing from the beginning.
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: Six Zho five to play here in the first half
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: twenty one twenty one, our score a lot of points.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: Abriy Johnson in the gun. Ocean's part out Johnson. He's
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: going to keep it himself. Abriy Johnson running room look
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: out forty five fifty forty five, forty Apriy Johnson foot
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: rings and out of bounds of the Utah eight yard line.
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: What is going on?
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: Scott Mitchell with the Utah rush defense. Another gigantic play
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: for the Kansas State Wildcats.
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a design quarterback run and there's just one
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: guy in the box there to get the quarterback, and
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: of course he's blocked and you're really a down man.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: When they went, they just spread everyone out five wide.
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: Very simple play.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like this, I really have it
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: with a Utah defense.
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: No, I haven't either. If they look, they just look
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: like they don't know what they're They just look out of.
- 1:14:35Speaker 4: Sart's confused Kurston goal with the Utah seven, Antonio Martin
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: the tailback. Avery Johnson goes under seven, turning a give
- 1:14:45Speaker 4: to Martin and he's stacked up at about the five
- 1:14:48Speaker 4: yard line. After a game of two yards, clock at
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: five point fifteen and running to play before halftime, Dallas
- 1:14:55Speaker 4: Vokalaki led the way for Utah second and goal with
- 1:14:58Speaker 4: the five here.
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: Kansas State now has two hundred and sixty one yards
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: rushing in the first.
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: Half, and they're all just big plays too.
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: And again even that play right there, everyone's just catching.
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: There's no one trying to start. It's it's like they're
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: so nervous about the quarterback offset pistol.
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: Now those shift tight ends around Johnson at the Ted
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: Martin behind you. Second to goal at the five, Johnson
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: to pass pressure in his face to the outside to
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: the end zone up and incomplete excellent coverage by Jackson
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: Betty on the tight end Braydon Lofton.
- 1:15:35Speaker 4: I thought Betty almost came down with a hook.
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a scary thrown right there, because if you're
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: if you're short at all, that's a one hundred and
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: two yard pick six. That's actually a pick play that
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: I mean, great coverage because he gets picked off right here.
- 1:15:49Speaker 4: And and just an excellent play by Jackson Betty third downn.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: Goal at the Utah five.
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: Joe Jackson Becky the tail back for Kansas State, who
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: cats three or five on third down, their biggest one
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: of the day right here, watched up in four forty
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: one to play, tied.
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: To twenty one in a time out taken by Kansas State.
- 1:16:11Speaker 4: That's their last time out. Oh boy, you check that
- 1:16:15Speaker 4: their second time out.
- 1:16:16Speaker 8: Here's the state is called the second time out of
- 1:16:18Speaker 8: the half thirty second time out.
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: You know it's it's a it's just kind of a tendency.
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: But but they're not going to take the ball out
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: of Avery Johnson's hands. Wouldn't be surprised if you know
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: that's some kind of quarterback drag in quarterback counter. Maybe
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: they roll him out with a but but he's going
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: to be significant in whatever play design they have here.
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: That's kind of kind of an m O for them.
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: So you got to really be you got to be
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: dialed into the quarterback in this situation. And it could
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: be two down territory for them as well. I mean
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: they I don't know that they would kick a field
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: goal right here.
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: Four forty one to play third down and goal of
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: the five here for the Kansas State Wildcats. Our first
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: Antona being brought to you by Pepsi and Smiths to
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: bring Utah partners. And at this point time of field goal,
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: if you can hold them to it would feel like
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: a minor victory. Kansas State is scored on three straight times.
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: They're trying to make it four right here. They break
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: the huddle and come to the line. The bus making
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: noise in the south NTO Kansas State trying to get there.
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: Avery Johnson and the gun Joe Jackson next to him,
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: spreads the field with four wide receivers. He'll pass backpedal
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: and pressure coming over the middle incomplete. They tried to
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: squeeze it in on the gold line and the coverage
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: was excellent by Cotton. They were trying to get it
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: to the tight end. Lincoln Cure. Now'll bring out the
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: field goal team here for the Wildcat.
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:18:01Speaker 3: Great, great play by Blake Cotton right there. That's a
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: hard route because you're man on man across the whole
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: entire field. It's actually a really good location of the throw.
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: Just an exceptional effort there to knock the ball out.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: The ball may have been slightly tipped at the line
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: of scrimmage, but either way, good defense by Cotton. Field
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: goal here by Rodriguez, twenty three yard to tip right.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: Half kick is up and the kick is good.
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: Four thirty three to play, Casey back in front twenty
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: four to twenty one. I did not expect this gutt.
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: I'll be very young. I did not expect a forty
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: five point first half between these two teams.
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: Not at all, know and I don't think expected that.
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: You know, if they're gonna they're gonna have to work
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: for everything they get kind of thing. But it's just
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: been an explosive outpouring from Kansas State here. You have
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: to feel like you kind of have a victory there
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: coming away with a field goal, especially after that big,
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: that big you know that the big run by every Johnson.
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: Kent State, to their credit, has been trending.
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: Other than their game against Texas Tech in a more
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: favorable position. You know, they're they have been playing some
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: pretty good football and and you know, so maybe they're
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: kind of finding their groove just a little bit, finding
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: more offense and more production than they're just Avery Johnson.
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: Their offensive coordinator is the former Utah State head coach
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: Matt Wells. Yeah, and he's done a really nice job.
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: They're down, They're best running back, their best receiver. He's
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: doing a lot here. He's really game playing this game. Well,
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: hasn't he that? Absolutely? And you know they're just there.
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: It almost feels like, I don't want to say they're
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: using Avery Johnson as a decoy, but they're they're just
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: up front. They are handling Utah with their with their
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: offensive line.
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: The kickoff is deep and through the end zone and
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: Utah will take it first setten at the twenty five
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: four thirty two to play before halftime, Utah will get
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: the ball to begin in the second half. So if
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: you could go down and get a score here, get
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: to the locker room either time in front, then you
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: get the ball coming back out again.
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know.
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: It's it's it's so important that you hold serve when
- 1:20:07Speaker 3: you get the ball offensively, because it doesn't appear the
- 1:20:12Speaker 3: defense is going to have their best day today.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: Well, goodness, gracious, I just can't recall the time in
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: any game then Utah's defense gave up this many big
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: runs in big plays way Shawn Park or the wildcat back,
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: He's not gonna get it, damn pier Is. Devin keeps
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: it out on that right edge and takes it out
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: to the thirty seven yard line for a game of
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: twelve Daniel kbps forsh av It's really interesting. Year's got
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: At times Devin has not looked real mobile and then
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: on a couple of runs he's looked very mobile here today.
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and he runs that so well, you know, and
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: He's he attacks the defensive end and gets him to
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: commit to something early on that option.
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: Devin with an empty backfield and five receivers of the
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: pattern this time, go back pedal to pass on first
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: and ten lots of time throwing to the outside incomplete
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: man oh Man not even close to Dallan Bentley.
- 1:21:03Speaker 4: He kind of cocked his arm once or twice before
- 1:21:06Speaker 4: he threw it. Second down, coming up, Yeah, I think
- 1:21:08Speaker 4: he lost a vision on the play right here. He's
- 1:21:10Speaker 4: ready to throw it and he just he kind of
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: just loses the vision of it, and I'm not sure
- 1:21:15Speaker 4: what he's doing there.
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: Threw it off ballance as well. Second down and Ted
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: Wasyshawn Parker with him down, he'll motion out of the
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: backfield for Devon. Devan's gonna keep it himself. Hesitation throw
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: over a middle caught fifty and down to the k
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: State forty eight yard line goes Jj Buchanan. JJ's having
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: a nice stage today. He is second catch. He's gotten
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: over seventy yards receiving right now, first down.
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: Utah, and they're doing such a they're staying committed to that.
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: You know those plays are there. Devon was missing him early,
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: but he's now hitting on those little play action shots.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: From the k State forty eight option play to the
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: outside Wyshawan Parker forty five and out of bounds the
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: k State forty two yard line for a game of seven.
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: On first down, JJ Buchanan's hurting a little bit. He
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: was holding left arm. Van Way made the tackle for
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: Kansas State second down at about three and a half
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: coming up.
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: Yeah, this option played that poor poor end. He's like,
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: if I go with the pitch, he's gonna keep it,
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: and if I go with him, he's gonna pitch it.
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: And both times he's been wrong.
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: Parker stays in the ball game with Dan Pierre.
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: They stacked two receivers to the left hand side for
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: the Kansas State forty two and a half yard line
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: play action pass again for Devon. He's gonna scramble to
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: the outside look down the field. Now he's gonna run
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: it and he'll get back to the line of scrimmage.
- 1:22:28Speaker 4: And that's about it.
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: Maybe a yard game to the forty two yard line,
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: but not much more. Third down coming.
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: Up now, and this is a good job by Devin where.
- 1:22:37Speaker 4: He actually lost yard eache back to the forty three
- 1:22:39Speaker 4: yard line.
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: Officials time out for an injured defensive.
- 1:22:42Speaker 4: Player, had a couple of wildcats.
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: That was Malcolm Alcorn Crowder who was chasing damp Pier
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: out of bounds and fell awkwardly into the Utah edge.
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of action late there on the sideline.
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: Sometimes it can be dangerous.
- 1:22:57Speaker 4: Is this four down territory for U Scott if they
- 1:22:59Speaker 4: don't convert right here?
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: Oh? Man, that's tough because that that offense or defense
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: has just had a hard hard time here in this
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: this first half. But I think you got to feel
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: confident that you can get it first down here. Uta
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: has been moving the ball pretty consistently and got a
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: lot of different options with what they can do here.
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't.
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: Know what are the analytics say.
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: I don't have the sheet with me that's in Kyle
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: Whittingham's hand. Three minutes and four seconds to play Utah
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: down one and they have all three time outs here.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: I'm going to get the book.
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: There is a book, then analytics book on when to
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: go for it and when not. Kind of where you
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: are on the field, it all determines what you know.
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: The distance.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: Here we go, Bird Ficklin will be your quarterback. He's
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: got way Sean Parker with him. Bird's gonna keep it himself.
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: Bird is gonna have first down yard it's next level.
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: Stays on his feet inside the thirty five and down
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: to the Kansas State thirty two yard line. That's a
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: heck of a run. Eleven yards of the first down game.
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: Powers made the tackle for Kansas State.
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: You know, for a slide of guy as he is,
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: he won makes the guys miss.
- 1:24:14Speaker 3: But he's just tough, you know, he runs hard. It's
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: just it's it's it's like one of those things that
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: shouldn't happen because of his body type, but it just does.
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: Clock running at two twenty four to play, this might
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: be the last play before the two minute time out.
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: Utah breaks the huddle with thirteen on the play clock.
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: Devin Dan Pierce split wide to the right hand side,
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: pickland by himself now brings Daniel bring in motion. Burd's
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: gonna keep it himself now fake it looking down the field,
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: throwing down the field and out of bounds.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: It goes.
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: Try to get that ball to JJ Bucannon. They were
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: trying to sign, trying to get to Devon up that
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: far sideline initially and any well that wasn't there, so
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: Bursley back the other way.
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: Burd's like me, and you got to run a better
- 1:24:55Speaker 3: route than that. Get on his quarterback for running a
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: bad route.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: Two four o'clock stopped to play. They'll be one more
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: play before the two minute time out. From the Kansas
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: State thirty two second down in ten Utah, Devn's the quarterback,
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: this time with way Sean Parker Bird Fickland.
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: To the sideline.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: Devin claps his hands hands of the way Sean Wyshan
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: to the thirty stays on his feet and he's wrapped
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: up big time. I look you're taking that on twenty eight.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: That did look like a horse collar tackle. That should
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: have been a horse calling. That's a four four yard game.
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: That'll bring up third down when we get back on
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: the other side of the two minute time At minute
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: fifty eight to play, Ace Newsom made the tacks up
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: in Kansas State.
- 1:25:35Speaker 8: Timer, please be sending the game clock to one fifty
- 1:25:38Speaker 8: nine one, five to.
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: Nine, third down and six when we returned Kansas State
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: twenty four in Utah twenty one. This is Utah football
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: from ESPN seven hundred. The Youth Sports Radio Network and
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: in fifty nine to play first half bi Segal Stadium,
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: Kansas State twenty four, Utah twenty one. We wondered for
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: two hours of the pregame show, which Kansas State team
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: would show up. This is the team a lot of
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: people thought might contend for the Big twelve championship this year,
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: and they're playing without some other better players today, but
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: they are playing and playing hard.
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: Utah's got it third down.
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: And six from the k State twenty eight with all
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: three timeouts at a minute fifty nine to play. But
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: you've got to get points on this drive, Scott if
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: you're Utah, because you got to feel good about things
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: going into the locker room.
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know I got a third and long here.
- 1:26:23Speaker 3: But you also kind of have to feel the momentum
- 1:26:27Speaker 3: of a game, I think, and whether to kick it
- 1:26:30Speaker 3: or go for it, and and points I think are
- 1:26:34Speaker 3: something that you need right now, the.
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: Sense of being positive. But you're going to give the.
- 1:26:38Speaker 3: Ball back to Kansas State and you get you know,
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: you got to stop them, and you still have all
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: of your timeouts if your Utah, so you possibly if
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: you have to kick a field goal right here, you
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: possibly could actually get the ball back again if you can,
- 1:26:51Speaker 3: if you can stop.
- 1:26:52Speaker 4: All that was about. But that's the big if, right.
- 1:26:54Speaker 4: Kansas State scored on four straight drives.
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: But it's it's it's about feeling good right now because
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: there's a weird vibe going on with this defense. So
- 1:27:02Speaker 3: I think I think points are the things that are
- 1:27:04Speaker 3: gonna be a positive thing, even if it's just kicking
- 1:27:06Speaker 3: a field goal.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: Here we go, Dan, you'll bring on the backfield with
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: Devin dan Pire on third down and six from the
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: Kansas State's twenty eight yard line, brave motions down. Devon's
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: gonna throw to the outside. Caught after twenty five on
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: his feet still to the twenty and down they go.
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: Are they gonna call a pick play here? I think
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: it's a it happened later. I think this might be
- 1:27:25Speaker 4: called as a pick play.
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: I don't know it is.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: It's going against Utah. That's offensive pass interference on Utah.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: That's gonna be a pickplay on the utes of JJ Buchanan.
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: Or did that? Was it a push off on winnable
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: apence offense number eighty one? Fifteen down?
- 1:27:43Speaker 4: What a terrible time to get that penalty.
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: And it's it's all in his action, you know, if
- 1:27:48Speaker 3: he's just running down the field like he normally is.
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: And I think that's what Devon's trying to argue with
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: the official right here. If that's the case, and it's.
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: Just so instead of a first down, now it's third
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: down and twenty one back at the case state forty
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: three yard I don't agree with.
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: That play right there. He's just running down the field.
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: I mean he didn't. It's the guy defending it.
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: Damp here to pass in the shotgun. He'll backpedal to throw,
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: looking down the middle of the field behind his man
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: and incomplete, nearly intercepted. Devin has been off all day
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: to day. He is now six to fourteen and that
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: was intended for Dallon Bentley. And now you're gonna have
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: to punt the football back to Kansas State with a
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: minute thirty eight to play.
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: Sterling locket back to receive this kick.
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: Just a disastrous turn of events right there on the
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: last couple of players.
- 1:28:41Speaker 4: Ryan Phillips will punt it.
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: I love the Kyle Whittingham calls him the Australian Joe Dirt.
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: He'll rugby it toward that right side Locke, that's gonna
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: go into the end zone.
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: Kick. That's just not great, very very bad sequence right
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: there across the board.
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: It's not been an impressive performance today by Utah by
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: any means. Ninety one seconds to play, three timeouts to
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: remain for Utah. See how aggressive Kansas State wants to
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: play it here with a three point lead, I would
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: say they probably continue to be aggressive.
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean where they where they've been successful is
- 1:29:20Speaker 3: running the football. You know, they haven't even tried to
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: really throw the ball, very very limited in what they've
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: done throwing the football, so you know, and it could
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: have because Avery Johnson such a good runner, it may
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: have gotten them out a lot of that man coverage
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: and maybe playing a little zone and kind of playing
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: out of their comfort zone.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: I don't know, but this defense has just been out
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: of sorts.
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: To the k State first, who did in their own
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: twenty They have one time out remaining. Utah has all
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: three to the north end zone. Disrupts some things here.
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: Can Utah's defense get him off the field, get the
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: ball back first down hand off Joe Jackson don't twenty
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: five into the open field forty fifty forty thirty Jackson
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: twenty ten to five touchdown, an eighty yard touchdown run
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: for Joe Jackson.
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: Wow, I've never.
- 1:30:15Speaker 4: Seen anything like it, Scott, I've never seen.
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: Anything like it. Kansas State has.
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: Run for three hundred and forty one yards on this
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: Utah defense here the first half.
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is I mean, you have three linebackers
- 1:30:28Speaker 3: in the game, you have your best three linebackers. You
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: actually have an extra guy in the game, Jackson. Benny
- 1:30:34Speaker 3: just overruns the play.
- 1:30:35Speaker 4: Should have What was too Johnson doing right there? That
- 1:30:39Speaker 4: was an olay tax.
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: Because he was whiffing for sure. Wow.
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: Kansas State with this pat is gonna score thirty one
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: in the first half and go up by ten.
- 1:30:53Speaker 4: Kick is up? Kick is good. Wow, Kansas State and
- 1:31:03Speaker 4: the fans are booing right now.
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: They are booing this Utah football team right now. Something
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: you do not see or hear very often here at
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: Recycle Stadium.
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, you have a minute, I mean
- 1:31:16Speaker 3: you would think you're not going to run the ball
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: down the field here in this situation, you got to
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: throw it and they just they basically handed it off
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: once and scored a touchdown and just ran by the
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: whole defense like they were standing still. It's not touched.
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: The funny thing is he's not a burner.
- 1:31:31Speaker 3: No, no, no.
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: It's just Joe Jackson.
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: Scott has nine carries for two hundred and twenty nine
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: yards here in the first half.
- 1:31:40Speaker 3: There's something where their scheme, what they did, I have
- 1:31:44Speaker 3: no idea, but this is this is not that well,
- 1:31:48Speaker 3: this is not this defense.
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: I just have never seen anything like this against the
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: Utah defense ever.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: Ever.
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: No, I've seen teams have game success running the football,
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: but not this many big play.
- 1:32:02Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, because I was looking before I
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: go okay, they got three linebackers in the game. You
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: know they're actually anticipating that Kansas State's gonna run the football.
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: Jackson has touchdown runs of eighty and of forty four.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: They also have a fifty eight to thirty seven yard
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: rush here in the first half.
- 1:32:22Speaker 4: Here's the kickoff by McClanahan. This one's going to be
- 1:32:26Speaker 4: through the end zone and out for a touchback, and
- 1:32:29Speaker 4: Utah will have it first attended their own twenty five
- 1:32:32Speaker 4: with all three timeouts remaining. But now you've got to
- 1:32:37Speaker 4: throw the football, Scott, and you've thrown at six to fourteen.
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: For one hundred and one yards, but sixty of the one
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: hundred and one came on one play.
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of the throws today have been
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: wild and not even remotely accurate.
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: First and ten, Damn Pier out of the shotgun, Kansas State.
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: You're gonna rush. Just the throw to the inside caught
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: by Whittamore. He's on his feet and he'll have a
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: first down after the thirty six yard line.
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: Whintable, man, they need to run a guy on a
- 1:33:10Speaker 3: post down down the middle of the field because these
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: safeties are just creeping.
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: First in ten for Utah at the thirty six and
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: it's seven to play clock running Damn Pierre looking to
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: throw again. Now he's gonna scramble and throw incomplete, trying
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: to get it to Larry Simmons. I think something's wrong
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: with Ryan Davis.
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: Scott. We haven't seen him since you'd.
- 1:33:32Speaker 4: Done for that ball about the ten yard line, game
- 1:33:34Speaker 4: clock one zero one, one on one.
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: We've seen a lot more of Creed Whittamore here. I
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: think something's happened to Ryan Davis. Yeah, to check on
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: that at the half.
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: Yeah, Devin, just a little lancy in the pocket there
- 1:33:45Speaker 3: and feet in the bad position in the bathroom, and.
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: It won the play.
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: Second down in ten for the thirty six four man
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: rushing again for the Wildcats out breaking route Whinnamore beyond
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: the forty five to the forty seven yard line. That'll
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: be another first down for you, Utah. The clock will
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: stop briefly, they'll set it, then roll it. Utah still
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: has all three timeouts. They set the football now, they
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: roll the clock first and ten. Damp here to pass again,
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: looking to the outside, throwing to the outside way over
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: the head of Dallan Bentley, making Creed Whittemore incomplete.
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: Yeah, bring up second down in ten. That was that
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: play from earlier in the game, and he just it's
- 1:34:24Speaker 3: just a bad throw. He's got to throw it on
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: a line right on him and it's it's an easy completion.
- 1:34:29Speaker 3: It's I don't know where that ball is.
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: Going wide open.
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: They appear seven to fifteen down for one hundred and
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: seven yards speed option play way. Sean Parker fifty stays
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: on his feet and at a bounds do they mark
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: you out of bounds?
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: They do?
- 1:34:45Speaker 4: Oh wow, that was a kind call by the official.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: He's out at the k steed forty seven it'll bring
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: up third down at about call it four maybe five?
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: Yeah, just great, great awareness there by Wayshan, great effort.
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: Save the time out for Utah forty two seconds down.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: They need to pick up if they can't first the
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: first down, but then another ten to twelve yards to
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: be in realistic field goal range for Dylan Curtis. Third
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: down and four Utah six of eight on third down,
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: damppear to pass looking to scramble and he's going to
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: be sacked back at the Utah forty nine man. That's
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: gonna bring up fourth down and a time out taken
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: by Utah yes or no?
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: Yes?
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: No?
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: A time out taken by Kansas State not their last
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: an outcome outpourn Crowder with with the sack.
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: Here's the state.
- 1:35:35Speaker 8: It's called the third and final time out of the half.
- 1:35:37Speaker 8: Thirty second time out timer, Please reset the game clock
- 1:35:40Speaker 8: to twenty nine seconds.
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: Twenty nine wow.
- 1:35:45Speaker 3: Yeah. And on that last play, the two receivers ran
- 1:35:48Speaker 3: into each other and they know one was open, and
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: uh yeah, this Utah defense offense doesn't look really sharp
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: when they just have to stand back and throw the football.
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: Do not not very good?
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: Twenty nine seconds before halftime, fourth down, and eight for
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: Utah back at the fifty yard line. Actually fourth down
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: at sixth for Utah.
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: The yard life seven.
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: They have yard line tobacas the forty three Sterling Lockett
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: will stand in his own twenty Kansas State. You can
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: hear him down there talking, watch the ball, Watch the ball.
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: Right they kick, snap is back, they are coming. The
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: kick is away. It's an end over end kick. Lockett's
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: gonna get away from it. It's gonna go out of
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: bounds at about the four yard line. They needed that
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: earlier twenty two seconds to play. Kansas State's gonna go
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: to the locker room.
- 1:36:55Speaker 4: Well, I shouldn't say yet, because they could break off
- 1:36:59Speaker 4: another long run, right.
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: You know, we talked about trick plays in the first
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: half or in the pre game, and this might be
- 1:37:06Speaker 3: a situation where we kind of do a you know,
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: a toss. If you saw that in the Houston, Texan
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: Buffalo Bill's game, you know this is a good situation
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: if you wanted to throw it right here. And they
- 1:37:19Speaker 3: may say, hey, look we we've got a ten point
- 1:37:21Speaker 3: we've got a ten point lead. We don't want to
- 1:37:22Speaker 3: do anything stupid here.
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: Avery Johnson brings that offense back out. They have three
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: hundred and seventy six total yards, three forty one on
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: the ground.
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: Pistol formation.
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: Joe Jackson the tailbat they handed to Jackson again, He's
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: got bunning groom again, second level and he rolls down
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: at about the twelve yard line after a eight of
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: seven that will take us to the halftime mark here
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: at Rice Egles Stadium.
- 1:37:53Speaker 3: Man, if I'm Kansas State, I try to line up
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: really quick and run it again. With all the success they've.
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: Had goreboard hits, zeros and the crowd restless here at
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: Rice EQL Stadium, and rightfully so. Team that had looked
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: unbeatable for the last three weeks has been very vulnerable here.
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: Kansas State thirty one, Utah twenty one. Here at the half,
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: we'll hear from Kyle coming up here in just a minute.
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: TV will talk to him first, and then Slide will
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: talk to him. But Kyle's gonna have to be just
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: going out of his mind right now, giving up three
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: hundred and forty eight yards and not just that's got
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: all the big plays that they've given up.
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: On the ground, Well, it just goes against the whole
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: culture of the program. It's all about stopping to run
- 1:38:44Speaker 3: first always with this team, and something in their scheme,
- 1:38:48Speaker 3: something and something is just not it just makes no
- 1:38:50Speaker 3: sense right now. Hopefully they'll be able to fix it and.
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: Go downstairs to slid slide, go ahead, Kachy.
- 1:38:55Speaker 5: Story of the game is that Utah defense. What is
- 1:38:58Speaker 5: going on with the rushing attack?
- 1:38:59Speaker 3: What Utah defense?
- 1:39:00Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand that.
- 1:39:02Speaker 6: What things have you seen from Kansas State that has
- 1:39:04Speaker 6: gone wrong for us?
- 1:39:06Speaker 3: Nothing out of the ordinary. We're not playing gap sound
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: football or mister tackles. We're not making plays on the
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: ball of the field in the throw game. We haven't
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: done much of anything right on defense. This Sam Thanks coach.
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: Sly Kyle, thank you. You could hear in his voice
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: he is frustrated and rightfully so. Thirty one to twenty
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: one Kansas State. That sideline update brought to you by
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: Ken Garth. We hear you back with the America First
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: Credit Union halftime Show. Next it's Utah Football from ESPN
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: seven hundred and the Youth Sports.
- 1:39:33Speaker 7: The first half is over, now it's time to talk
- 1:39:36Speaker 7: about it. This is a ute schemed eight halftime show
- 1:39:40Speaker 7: now with breakdowns and analysis of the first half. Here's
- 1:39:43Speaker 7: Scott Mitchell and the voice of the Utes, Bill Riley.
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: Halftime here at Receycles Stadium. Haven't seen a half quite
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: like this in a really long time. Kansas State thirty one,
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: Utah twenty one. The Wildcats have three hundred and seventy
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: one three hundred eighty three yards of total offense and
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: three hundred and forty eight of it is on.
- 1:40:04Speaker 4: The ground right now. Scott Mitchell.
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: To say the Utah defense is being dashed would be
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: an understatement. The number of big plays that we've seen
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: from this Kansas State running game has been off the charts.
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: They have touchdown runs of eighty yards, sixty six yards,
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: and thirty seven yards, plus you mix in a forty
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: make it a sixty yard run by Avery Johnson. They
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: are absolutely dominating Utah. And you just heard Kyle Whittingham
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: say it. They're not doing anything out of the ordinary.
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: They're just running straight at Utah.
- 1:40:35Speaker 3: Which makes it even worse. You know, if it's like, hey,
- 1:40:38Speaker 3: you know, we had this scheme on and it, you know,
- 1:40:40Speaker 3: is a little wonky and a little different. But if
- 1:40:42Speaker 3: it's just the basics of run stopping defense, then you
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: know that's concerning to me, because one of these guys
- 1:40:49Speaker 3: don't know how to do this after all of this time.
- 1:40:51Speaker 3: I mean, just it doesn't make any sense. It's I
- 1:40:53Speaker 3: don't know what it is, but there certainly isn't There's
- 1:40:55Speaker 3: there's no sense of urgency, there's no sense of like
- 1:40:58Speaker 3: energy playing and playing with you know, a conviction here.
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: It's actually mind blowing. You've seen, you know, a lot
- 1:41:06Speaker 3: of things with this Utah football program. I don't think
- 1:41:08Speaker 3: I've ever seen anything like what we witness from this defense.
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: In the first half, Joe Jackson has two hundred thirty
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: six yards rushing and two touchdowns in the first half.
- 1:41:17Speaker 3: He came in with four eighty seven on the season.
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: He has runs today Scott of thirty three yards, of
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: forty four yards, of eighty yards, of sixty six yards.
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: He didn't have a long run longer than twenty one
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: yards all season long before today.
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: Yeah, and again I wonder if it's that they're just
- 1:41:37Speaker 3: so caught up in avery Johnson. I don't know, but
- 1:41:39Speaker 3: but it just has to start with the fundamentals. And
- 1:41:42Speaker 3: I guess you go back to that on you know,
- 1:41:44Speaker 3: on at halftime. I can only imagine what coach Witningham
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: is saying to them right now. But it's it's just
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: got to be this effort and on the other side
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: of the ball, it's throwing the football is really concerning
- 1:41:55Speaker 3: for me. With Utah, Devin Dan Pier has been anything
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: less than spectacular, very inaccurate with his throws even when
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: he's had time, and it's just, you know, Utah has
- 1:42:04Speaker 3: been great running the football, but they haven't been polished
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: or consistent as an offense. As a whole end of
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: that passing game is concerning.
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: They're eight of eighteen passed well.
- 1:42:13Speaker 2: Utah's eight of nineteen, but Devin is eight of eighteen
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: for one hundred and twenty three yards, and he's missed
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: some wide open guys balls behind pitt players. Parker leaves
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: the Utah offense with forty five yards rushing, then Ficklin
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: with forty four, Damn Pier with thirty, Johnson with thirty.
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: But the only number of the matters right now is
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: the one on the scoreboard. If Utah's down ten, they
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: will get the ball to begin the second half, but
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: down ten right now thirty one twenty one. Kyle Whittinghan,
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: by the way two and five in his career went
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: down ten or more at halftime. We're supposed to show
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: you they haven't been down ten or more very often,
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: but when they have been, it hasn't necessarily.
- 1:42:50Speaker 3: There's just something off, something flat. I don't know what
- 1:42:53Speaker 3: it is, you know, if the just everything just has
- 1:42:56Speaker 3: not been what it should be with this team, and
- 1:42:58Speaker 3: you know, hopefully they can get it turned around to
- 1:43:00Speaker 3: figure it out in the second half and they're gonna
- 1:43:03Speaker 3: you know, you can't change the players. I mean, they
- 1:43:05Speaker 3: just they have to just you know, I mean, I
- 1:43:08Speaker 3: just love to know what's going through the head because
- 1:43:10Speaker 3: it just doesn't make any It makes no sense what's
- 1:43:13Speaker 3: going on right here. It's baffling to me.
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: Today's halftime show brought to you by America First Credit Union,
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: the official credit union of you, of you at Lenox,
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: and the only place you can get the exclusive Utes

- 1:43:34Speaker 2: James Peterson will give you a scoreboard update from around
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: the conference and around the country, and then we'll be
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: back for second half action.
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: In a bit, this is.
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: Radio Network. Utah will have the ball to begin things
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: here in the second half. M KLANA had the Kansas
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: State kickoff. Expert will put his foot into it, drive
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: it high and deep into the north end zone and
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: out for a touchback, and Utah will come on the
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: field at their own twenty five yard line and Devin
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: dan Pierre's gonna lead him out.
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:44:05Speaker 3: I mean, he's the guy that they put their money into,
- 1:44:07Speaker 3: and he's the guy that has been the leader of
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: this team, and it's just critical that he answers that bell.
- 1:44:14Speaker 3: We'll see, We'll see how it goes right here. I
- 1:44:15Speaker 3: just really think this team needs a spark somewhere.
- 1:44:18Speaker 2: Wayshawn Parker splits wide to the right with Lander, Barton
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: and others, debit by himself in the shot gun, brings
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: Wyshaan in motion across the formation, hands it to Wyshawn
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: Parker thirty thirty five, forty up the sideline.
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: Stays on his feet to the fifty.
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: And down to the k State forty nine yard line
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: of twenty six yard run on first down for Wyshawn Parker.
- 1:44:40Speaker 3: Yeah, and Wyshawn, you know he's been such a consistent
- 1:44:42Speaker 3: performer for this team. He comes in motion like fly
- 1:44:44Speaker 3: sweet and he's so good at getting from my goodness,
- 1:44:47Speaker 3: he just stiff armed that defender for k K State.
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: They market at the fifty first in ten tempo here
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: for Utah debit by himself in the backfield, looking down
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: the field, surveying, scrambling plenty of time after his left firing.
- 1:45:01Speaker 4: Deep over the middle up the hands of Creed Wittemore,
- 1:45:05Speaker 4: who was open and about the ten yard line. Should
- 1:45:09Speaker 4: that ball a big cot Scott, you know it looks
- 1:45:12Speaker 4: like it should right here. It's tough to sit.
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: Down out a little really accurate.
- 1:45:16Speaker 3: He let it get by him and I just can't
- 1:45:18Speaker 3: see it very well. But a healthy Devin damn Pier
- 1:45:21Speaker 3: would have run it right there.
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: He would have and picked up good yard each two
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: instead second down in ten damp Pierre and Wyshan Parker
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: in the backfield from the fifty yard line, they go
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: hand off. Was Shan dancing forty five forty hurdles in
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: hand and goes down to the thirty eight yard line
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: for a pickup of twelve.
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: Bj Payne up ended.
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: Way Sean Parker as he tried to hurdle him after
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: a twelve yard gain. Another big game for Wyshan Parker.
- 1:45:46Speaker 3: Yeah, these safeties are playing back, you know, they were
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: kind of like the first drive in the first half,
- 1:45:50Speaker 3: and there's gaps there. You can cash him in the run.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: Thirty seven on two rushes for Wayshan Parker. Here in
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: the second half, play action pass again for Devin.
- 1:45:58Speaker 4: Up the Seeds don t five touchdown Dallan Bentley thirty
- 1:46:06Speaker 4: eight yards at utass strikes first here in the second half.
- 1:46:13Speaker 3: You know, I kept saying this, you gotta be aggressive
- 1:46:15Speaker 3: in those play action throws right there, and the safety
- 1:46:19Speaker 3: just jumped that little en route and the tight end
- 1:46:21Speaker 3: just kind of went a kind of an out and
- 1:46:22Speaker 3: up move down the sideline and he get he has
- 1:46:25Speaker 3: a big play right here. Just just an outstanding just
- 1:46:29Speaker 3: some really good aggressive call right there by Jason beck
- 1:46:34Speaker 3: And and Devin Dampier got a lot more accurate than
- 1:46:37Speaker 3: the second half.
- 1:46:38Speaker 2: That's well, whatever the message was at halftime, the offense
- 1:46:41Speaker 2: responded to it. That's how you come out of the
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: locker room, pat up and going after the PEPSI touchdown,
- 1:46:47Speaker 2: four plays, seventy five yards, a thirty eight yard touchdown
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: for Dalla Bentley, his fifth of the year, and Utah's
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: right back in it here just a minute to eleven
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: gone by. It's thirty one to twenty eight. Kansas stay
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: with a time out of the field. And this is
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: Utah football for ESPN seven hundred, the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: Today's game being brought to you by Ken Garth, proud
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: partners of Utah Football Dealership, the dealership across the Dighth.
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: The Ken Garth team shows the same.
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: Commitment to excellence that the Utes bring to the field
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: every Saturday. That was just what the doctor ordered out
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: of the locker room. Scott a quick answer for Utah
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: now down just a field goal.
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the right answer. Has a big drive and
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: it was both.
- 1:47:26Speaker 3: It was both throwing and running the football, a very clean,
- 1:47:30Speaker 3: very you know, just not an awkward drive and really
- 1:47:33Speaker 3: kind of took the aggressiveness and played into, you know,
- 1:47:38Speaker 3: attacking the over aggressiveness of the Kansas CTITATE defense.
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: Dylan Curtis has it said to kick at his own
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: thirty five kicking north to south here at Rice Ecle
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: Stadium high and then do over ad kick that'll go
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: after a touchback slide.
- 1:47:50Speaker 4: What did that touchdown? Due to the vibe on the
- 1:47:53Speaker 4: sideline for Utah.
- 1:47:54Speaker 6: It was huge and as we talked about our MVP
- 1:47:56Speaker 6: of the season so far away, Shawn Parker, his energy
- 1:47:59Speaker 6: that he's bringing running the football, not going down with
- 1:48:02Speaker 6: that first in extending the play. It's exactly what the
- 1:48:05Speaker 6: doctor ordered, as you guys have said. And he's got
- 1:48:07Speaker 6: everybody in it. The defense is in.
- 1:48:08Speaker 5: It, everybody standing up on the sidelines.
- 1:48:11Speaker 6: It's exactly the energy that this he's talk football needs
- 1:48:13Speaker 6: right now.
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: First and ten Kansas State at their own twenty five,
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: leading by three early stages, third quarter, empty backfield. Avery
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: Johnson brings his top boy. They're shifting everybody around, all five,
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: shift around tailback Joe Jackson. Let's see if the Utah
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: defense can respond here. Johnson to pass being chased out
- 1:48:34Speaker 2: of the pocket, just throws it at a bounds Lander
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: Barton was giving chase that time. By the way, John
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: Henry daily out for the ball game. He will not
- 1:48:42Speaker 2: be back. It'll be up to Cash Dylan to provide
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: a little bit of pressure off that edge.
- 1:48:46Speaker 3: Interesting called by Kansas State. You know They've run the
- 1:48:49Speaker 3: ball so well and effectively in the first half, and
- 1:48:51Speaker 3: they come out throwing here in the second half.
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: Bus on their feet.
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: On second down to ten, Johnson and jack into the backfield.
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: Two receivers left, two receivers right here for the Wildcats.
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: Tight end comes in motion pistol formation, turn in a
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: give to Jackson.
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: He picks his way through.
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: A hole and he'll be stopped after about a five
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: yard game to the twenty five. There was a little
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: bit of momenting there. He didn't hit it quite as
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: quick that time. Clurn down at five coming up, and it.
- 1:49:22Speaker 3: Looked like, well, he had two guys in one gap
- 1:49:25Speaker 3: right there, still a gap.
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: You know, it's a good thing that there was the
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: tight hole there that can recover.
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: Wildcats are three for six on third down today. This
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: is a big one of the Utah defense can get
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: him off the field. Avery Johnson by himself in the backfield,
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: Jackson in the right slot.
- 1:49:45Speaker 4: Utah showing a four man rush. Johnson changing the play.
- 1:49:52Speaker 4: He'll backpedal to pass. He's gonna step and try to
- 1:49:55Speaker 4: run it instead. Thrown and knock down at the line
- 1:49:57Speaker 4: of scrimmage. Logan Fano was there to help knock it
- 1:50:03Speaker 4: down for Utah John o'hall as well, and the Utah
- 1:50:07Speaker 4: defense forces a three and out, and now the punk
- 1:50:09Speaker 4: team comes out for Kansas State.
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: Yeah, JOHNA who just shoote right there?
- 1:50:13Speaker 3: Because that wide receiver was wide open and kind of
- 1:50:15Speaker 3: in his little zone right there, and he just reacts
- 1:50:18Speaker 3: athletically otherwise that's a first down for Kansas State.
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: Just the second time today we've seen McClanahan on d
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: punt Carvajol will stand in his own twenty nine. No
- 1:50:28Speaker 2: pressure on this kick, and it's a short one. Bono's
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: gonna come up and fair catch it. Wow, that was
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: reminiscent of the BYU game. But he held on that time,
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: fair catch, taking it about the thirty six yard line,
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: and that's where Utah will take over first to ten.
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: So they've got momentum. They got a touchdown, then a
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: three and out. Now can they build on it?
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: Scott?
- 1:50:49Speaker 3: Yeah, you hope so. And you know you talk about
- 1:50:51Speaker 3: that last drive being a real positive one. This one's
- 1:50:54Speaker 3: even bigger right now. You want to sustain it. You
- 1:50:58Speaker 3: really want to shift that momentum for your offense. I mean,
- 1:51:02Speaker 3: one thing about defense, they shouldn't be tired because the
- 1:51:05Speaker 3: drives were so quick, they should be fresh for the
- 1:51:07Speaker 3: second half.
- 1:51:08Speaker 4: Bray in the backfield with Dan Pierre.
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: Now he motions out on first down, he motions back
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: in again. Daniels got it out on the edge. Daniel
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: Bray forty forty five to fifty bounces to the outside
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: to the Kansas State forty seven.
- 1:51:21Speaker 4: And out of bounds.
- 1:51:23Speaker 2: Daniel Bray, with his best run in a couple of
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: weeks right there, takes it about well, we'll give that
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: about a seventeen yard game. Zayshan Rich made the tackle.
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: Really nice move here.
- 1:51:35Speaker 3: Maybe if he'd cut back to the inside on that
- 1:51:37Speaker 3: second movie might might have gotten up the field for more.
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: But but it's all about north south running.
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: Bird picked into the game, split out wide to the
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: right hand side, play action pass zip behind Dallan Bentley
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: who was wide open, actually JJ Buchannon who was wide
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: open at the forty yard line.
- 1:51:55Speaker 3: Devin is sit.
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: Those have been the tough rows for him to the
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: got and they just shouldn't be hard. You know, he
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: doesn't want to.
- 1:52:01Speaker 3: He kind of wants to set him in that hole
- 1:52:03Speaker 3: right there, and he just he just you know, he
- 1:52:06Speaker 3: doesn't want to lead him into that safety. But yeah,
- 1:52:08Speaker 3: not very accurate.
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: Lacari Rodgers, the tailback four receivers for Utah. K State
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: showed a four man rush. Now they motioned Rodgers out,
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: Devin dan Pierre throwing the flankers screen to the outside.
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: It's twelve blocked, thirty thirty five thirty and down to
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: the twenty nine yard line. J Payne made the tackle.
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: Date Johnson made the catch and run. What an impact
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: he's had today.
- 1:52:32Speaker 3: It's huge, and these linebackers are blitzing. No one goes
- 1:52:34Speaker 3: with the motion, so they're down a guy. I mean,
- 1:52:36Speaker 3: this is about as easy as you can get for
- 1:52:38Speaker 3: those flankers. Screens and well blocked and just north south
- 1:52:42Speaker 3: get some.
- 1:52:42Speaker 4: Yards from the K State thirty yard line.
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: Motion man across the formation is Bray. They handed to him. Actually,
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: Nate Johnson to the twenty seven yard line for a
- 1:52:53Speaker 2: game of three. Nate Johnson really making an impact here
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: today in the running game and the passing game. Second
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: down at seven them a gun, yeah, and then.
- 1:53:01Speaker 3: Both both polers blocked to the inside. If someone blocks
- 1:53:05Speaker 3: the outside, that's a that's a touchdown right there.
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: Second and seven at the K State twenty seven Devin
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: in the shotgun with the Cary Rodgers. I gotta look
- 1:53:13Speaker 2: to throw to the outside again. This one complete to
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: the tight end. That's Dallan Bentley inside the fifteen to
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: the fourteen yard line. That's gonna be a first down
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: for Utah. Bentley having himself a big game today. Dallan's
- 1:53:26Speaker 2: second catch.
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: Yeah, very very accurate throw right there.
- 1:53:30Speaker 3: But these receivers just catch the ball and get up
- 1:53:33Speaker 3: the field so quick.
- 1:53:34Speaker 2: Utah and the Canyon if you credit Union red zone
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: at the k State fourteen first down hand off Rogers
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: straight ahead, gets to the ten and picks up four
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: and that's about it. Not a bad run on first
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: down by the Cary. Second down and six coming up.
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: Utah looking good on this drive as well.
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: Well.
- 1:53:50Speaker 4: They talk so much about the yards before contact. I mean,
- 1:53:54Speaker 4: that's a great example right there. That's he's four yards
- 1:53:57Speaker 4: into the to.
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: The defense before anyone even touches.
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: Fickland checks into the game. Damn Pierce stays in the game,
- 1:54:03Speaker 2: so is way Shawn Parker. On second down and six
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: from the k State ten thirty one twenty eight k
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: stight clock running ten twenty to play here at the
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: third quarter to Connis is gonna be the quarterback. Wy
- 1:54:17Speaker 2: Shawn Parker next to him, Devin damp here in motion.
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: Bird's gonna keep it, Bird straight ahead, pushing the.
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: Pile on his feet into the end zone.
- 1:54:26Speaker 4: Touchdown Bird Fickland would not be died and Utah back
- 1:54:32Speaker 4: in front with ten oh three to play here in
- 1:54:35Speaker 4: the third.
- 1:54:37Speaker 3: You know they were at the line of scrimmage, Kansas State,
- 1:54:39Speaker 3: they knew it was coming. They had it kind of defended.
- 1:54:44Speaker 3: I mean, it looks like he was gonna get a
- 1:54:45Speaker 3: decent run. And tell you, Fickler man, there's there's an
- 1:54:48Speaker 3: energy to him that's just amazing.
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: Space just would not be denied.
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: He looked like you'd be stopped at about the five
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: or six Yopne just kept going.
- 1:54:58Speaker 3: You see that, week after week after week, play after
- 1:55:00Speaker 3: play after play.
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: Utah has come out of the locker room on fire,
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: back to back touchdown drives. This one seven plays, sixty
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: six yards and two forty seven off the clock with
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: ten o three to play in the third. It's Utah
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: thirty five and Kansas State thirty one. This is Utah
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: football for ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio
- 1:55:21Speaker 2: Network tenot's three to play in the third, Utah with
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: fourteen unanswered out of the locker rooms, taking a lead
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: back here on Kansas State thirty five thirty one, Bill Riley,
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: Scott Mitchell Upstairs, Slide Downstairs. It's blanket season here in
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: Utah and all over the country now as we are
- 1:55:36Speaker 2: just about into December, and blanket season means minky season.
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: Gets your minkey blankets at six retail locations here in Utah.
- 1:55:44Speaker 2: More Online thirty five thirty one Utah in front and Hey,
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: whatever the message was at halftime, I'd be anxious to
- 1:55:53Speaker 2: see if there's any paint remaining on the walls in
- 1:55:55Speaker 2: that Utah locker room, because I'm gonna guess that paint
- 1:55:58Speaker 2: came peeling off with whatever that speech was for Kyle Whittingham.
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: At least so far the first three drives, Utah has
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: been the better team here.
- 1:56:06Speaker 3: Yeah, and whatever it was, as you said, it was
- 1:56:09Speaker 3: well received and there's certainly a different energy on both
- 1:56:11Speaker 3: sides of the ball here. We'll see what the Utah
- 1:56:14Speaker 3: defense does now that they have the lead here on
- 1:56:18Speaker 3: their second second drive of the the second well.
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: Also see if Kansas State goes back to the run game.
- 1:56:23Speaker 2: I threw it two or three times on that first drive.
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: Bill like Curtis hasn't set up in his own thirty
- 1:56:28Speaker 2: five kicking north to south here devont Rice. Maybe just
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: a decoy back there because kse State hasn't showed any
- 1:56:36Speaker 2: real desire to return it.
- 1:56:37Speaker 3: Now they do.
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: Two yard step Here comes Rice, ten to fifteen, cut
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: down half the twenty yard line. Excellent special teams work
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: by Utah, but Taki Hell made the tackle at the
- 1:56:53Speaker 2: twenty and eighty yard field.
- 1:56:54Speaker 4: Dav Avery Johnson and the Wildcats.
- 1:56:57Speaker 3: Yeah, it just looked like the city there was an
- 1:56:59Speaker 3: opening there and man, it just closed out so quickly.
- 1:57:03Speaker 4: They give him the twenty one to a seventy nine
- 1:57:05Speaker 4: yard field and a time out on the field.
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: Right now, what do we have? Well, I don't know.
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: Referee looked like he was going to say something, but
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: he hasn't. Case State's still in the huddle. Now we're
- 1:57:31Speaker 2: ready to go. I think we had an official on
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: the far side needed.
- 1:57:33Speaker 1: To tie his shoe or something. Nine fifty nine to play.
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: Third quarter, Kansas State trailing again, actually trailing for the
- 1:57:43Speaker 2: first time today. Johnson out of the gun, Jackson the tailback,
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: Johnson the throne to the outside. He goes caught there
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: by Tibbs and that abounds after he gave of about
- 1:57:56Speaker 2: six maybe seven yards again.
- 1:57:59Speaker 3: You know different, it's an interesting strategy. You know, they've
- 1:58:02Speaker 3: thrown the ball quite a bit here. I mean, it's
- 1:58:04Speaker 3: all kind of possession type of throws, but they are throwing.
- 1:58:07Speaker 3: I wonder if they just felt like Utah was gonna
- 1:58:09Speaker 3: really dial into stopping the run and the throw would
- 1:58:12Speaker 3: be there.
- 1:58:12Speaker 2: Second down and four for Kansas State, Jackson the tailback,
- 1:58:15Speaker 2: make it Martin.
- 1:58:16Speaker 1: Now this time.
- 1:58:17Speaker 2: Jackson steps out of the game. Two tights and two
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: wides here for the Wildcats. Five man front for Utah,
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: low step hand off Martin, running room, Martin, open field,
- 1:58:30Speaker 2: fifty forty thirty flag flyes. This one's gonna come back.
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: It's gonna be a hold Martin into the end zone touchdown,
- 1:58:38Speaker 2: but it won't count. There's gonna be a hold on
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: Kansas State and about the Utah thirty five. But it
- 1:58:44Speaker 2: will be a big, big run. It will be a
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: spot of foul penalty and the Kansas State sideline doesn't
- 1:58:53Speaker 2: like it, but it's the right call.
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: Here's the referee.
- 1:58:56Speaker 3: Over offer numbers. D Roe we're being first and it's
- 1:59:01Speaker 3: fun the fowl the first.
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: Time it will still be at the Utah forty five
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: yard line, Scott, regardless of the hold at the thirty five,
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: it was another big gash up front of the Utah defense.
- 1:59:12Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was just, you know, Johnny Hall was
- 1:59:15Speaker 3: just out of position. He just overran his gap and
- 1:59:17Speaker 3: he got two wide and they just tucked right up
- 1:59:19Speaker 3: under where he should have been. And you know, it's
- 1:59:23Speaker 3: like you're filling out instead of filling up into the play.
- 1:59:26Speaker 3: It just looks like just poor angle on your gap
- 1:59:30Speaker 3: responsibility by John Howell.
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: So instead of a seventy three yard touchdown, it's going
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: to be roughly a nineteen yard game to the fifty
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: yard line, but still a big game. Nonetheless, by Kansas State,
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: first intended midfield.
- 1:59:44Speaker 1: Tailback Joe Jackson.
- 1:59:45Speaker 2: Three receivers split wide to the left hand side. They
- 1:59:49Speaker 2: motioned a tight ended motion. That's totally play action passed
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: for Avery Johnson. Lots of time he'll throw to the outside.
- 1:59:55Speaker 2: Caught by Tims at the forty and down to the
- 1:59:58Speaker 2: Utah thirty eight yard line.
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: He had all data throw.
- 2:00:01Speaker 3: Yeah, a ton of time. I mean, just play action
- 2:00:03Speaker 3: there and now't you know Utah is usually a lot better.
- 2:00:06Speaker 3: I mean he's he's staying in the pocket for a
- 2:00:07Speaker 3: long time, too wide open there, he's That was I
- 2:00:11Speaker 3: think that was Blake Cotton on that he does a
- 2:00:14Speaker 3: better job than that normally.
- 2:00:15Speaker 2: Last week Baylor had over five hundred yards of total
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: offense Kansas State. Right now at four thirty eight, we
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: got a lot of time to play. Eight forty five
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: to play in the third thirty five thirty one Utah
- 2:00:26Speaker 2: first and ten Wildcats.
- 2:00:28Speaker 1: As Johnson checks with a.
- 2:00:29Speaker 2: Bench, he's going to change the play now, Joe Jackson's
- 2:00:32Speaker 2: his tailback.
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: Three receivers right.
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: Hand off Milk Johnson yep, gives it to Jackson and
- 2:00:39Speaker 2: he stopped after about a three yard game by John
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: ou Hall, who kept his gap to take Ridy that
- 2:00:44Speaker 2: time down to the thirty six.
- 2:00:46Speaker 3: It goes yeah, and that it also does Utah have
- 2:00:49Speaker 3: enough players on the field. Looks like they were shorter guy,
- 2:00:53Speaker 3: there was no safety on the field there. Maybe maybe not,
- 2:00:56Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: O'clock running at eight o five to play check down
- 2:01:00Speaker 2: in seven at the Utah thirty six, Jackson again the
- 2:01:04Speaker 2: tailback tight end Oakley lined up as a receiver on
- 2:01:09Speaker 2: the left hand side, four pass catchers in the pattern.
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: Johnson had the shotgun. He's going to roll to his
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: left and throw lots of time looking down the field,
- 2:01:21Speaker 2: throwing down the field, caught and at a bounds to
- 2:01:24Speaker 2: get that ball to Oakley. He was all by himself
- 2:01:27Speaker 2: in the Utah twenty five and ran to the Utah
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: twenty one for a first down.
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: I mean, Avy Johnson pinned himself in a corner here.
- 2:01:33Speaker 4: How oh geez, nobody's covering him.
- 2:01:36Speaker 3: Wow, it went right through JOHNA. Hall's hands. Why he
- 2:01:39Speaker 3: didn't intercept that? I have no idea.
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: Everyone in the world's there how that ball got through there?
- 2:01:44Speaker 4: But again, no pressure on Johnson. He had lots of time.
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: To throw.
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: First and ten at the Utah twenty one, just on
- 2:01:52Speaker 2: the edge of the red zone for Kansas State down
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: thirty five thirty one. Hand off Jackson to get two
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: to the nineteen and that's it. Utah better be aware
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: of Avery Johnson because if he pulls that football, he's
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: got a lot of running room to the outside.
- 2:02:12Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a nice nice effort there, Jackson. Benny
- 2:02:15Speaker 3: came right through on a blitz and found the way
- 2:02:19Speaker 3: to stop the play right there.
- 2:02:20Speaker 2: Levannie de Mooney was in on that play as well.
- 2:02:23Speaker 2: Second down at eight now inside the Utah red zone
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: on the Kansas State Wildcats thirty five thirty one Utah
- 2:02:30Speaker 2: clott and run to get six forty to play here
- 2:02:32Speaker 2: in the third quarter, two tight ends to the right
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: slot for Kansas State. Now they bring Jackson in motion
- 2:02:38Speaker 2: play action here, you're gonna catch.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: Johnson to the outside. Avery Johnson, he's.
- 2:02:41Speaker 2: Got the corner twenty fifteen out of bounds in the
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: Utah twelve yard line. He'll be a yard shy of
- 2:02:47Speaker 2: the first down, that's what he can do. In fact,
- 2:02:50Speaker 2: I'm not even sure he looked to throw the ball
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: after that initial first look.
- 2:02:54Speaker 3: Did he Now, not at all? And it just pour ink.
- 2:02:56Speaker 3: I mean, your defensive lineman is not going to catch
- 2:02:58Speaker 3: him right there.
- 2:03:01Speaker 2: Third down in the yard Wildcats today on third down
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: of three out of seven, this is four down territory.
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: If you're Chris Climbing, They're gonna.
- 2:03:13Speaker 2: Empty the backfield, four pass catchers on the right hand side.
- 2:03:18Speaker 2: Now Johnson brings Jackson back in the backfield strength on
- 2:03:21Speaker 2: the right hand side. Johnson hands it Jackson very close
- 2:03:29Speaker 2: to first down yard each. He's right at the marker.
- 2:03:32Speaker 2: They have not made the gesture yet to move the chains.
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: Now they do. The official on the near side said,
- 2:03:36Speaker 2: move the chains. It'll be first down in ten at
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: the Utah ten and a half yard line for Kansas State.
- 2:03:42Speaker 3: An interesting play they do like a bunch formation. Everyone's
- 2:03:45Speaker 3: out there. There's really not a lot of blockers. I mean,
- 2:03:48Speaker 3: it should be tackled for a loss right there, John
- 2:03:51Speaker 3: o'hallif he just gets aggressive and blows the backup in
- 2:03:54Speaker 3: the backfield.
- 2:03:56Speaker 2: Defense has been optional for both sides here today. Jackson
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: stays in the ball game with Johnson in the shotgun.
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: Three tight ends on the field for Kansas State. Avery
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: Johnson takes the stab, keeps it on the right hand side.
- 2:04:11Speaker 2: He's got to ten, he's got the five, and then
- 2:04:14Speaker 2: it bounds it about the four yard line.
- 2:04:17Speaker 1: Take up.
- 2:04:18Speaker 2: They'll milk him at the five. That's a gain of six.
- 2:04:20Speaker 2: Elijah Davis forced him out of bounds. I don't know
- 2:04:23Speaker 2: that i'd ever take the ball out of Avery Johnson's
- 2:04:25Speaker 2: hands down here near the goal line, would you?
- 2:04:27Speaker 4: No?
- 2:04:27Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I mean, I wonder if the long hair
- 2:04:29Speaker 3: helps him run faster, if it's like Daryl Dynamic or something,
- 2:04:32Speaker 3: because that's that guy has some hair like that's some
- 2:04:36Speaker 3: beautiful hair.
- 2:04:37Speaker 2: I can tell you my daughter's got long hair. It
- 2:04:39Speaker 2: doesn't help her run fast. She's very slow. Yeah, but
- 2:04:42Speaker 2: does she run with a helmet on?
- 2:04:44Speaker 1: That's true.
- 2:04:45Speaker 2: Second down in four, we'll make it second down and
- 2:04:50Speaker 2: goal with the five yard line pistol formation. This time,
- 2:04:54Speaker 2: Avery Johnson hands to Joe Jackson straight ahead toward the
- 2:04:58Speaker 2: goal line. Is the end though he's marked down at
- 2:05:01Speaker 2: the half yard line. It'll be third down and half
- 2:05:04Speaker 2: a yard to go. Cash Dylan made the tackle and
- 2:05:09Speaker 2: it's definitely four down territory. Now if you're Kansas State,
- 2:05:12Speaker 2: third down and half a yard at the Utah half yard.
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: Line, Oh, big play, Avery Johnson.
- 2:05:19Speaker 3: A Hei'll have something to do with his play right here,
- 2:05:21Speaker 3: probably out on the edge.
- 2:05:26Speaker 2: Four minutes to play. Now we did under four. Kansas
- 2:05:31Speaker 2: State's gonna rake the huddle here with eight on the
- 2:05:33Speaker 2: play clock. Pistol formation, Johnson straight ahead Jackson. Did he
- 2:05:40Speaker 2: get in? He did not. He stopped the goal line.
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: Fourth down in gold coming up here for Kansas State.
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: They tried to dive play. He left his feed, but
- 2:05:51Speaker 2: came up short and now fourth and half a yard
- 2:05:54Speaker 2: actually second down.
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: I changed that. I thought they had the markers back.
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: Okay, down in Gold down my apology.
- 2:06:01Speaker 3: They must have got a first down.
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: They did get a first down, but initially the yardage
- 2:06:05Speaker 2: sticks were so far back.
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: It looked like it was goal to go. So second
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: down and.
- 2:06:09Speaker 2: Goal of the half yard line. Avery Johnson under center,
- 2:06:16Speaker 2: Jackson behind him, play action rolled the right. Johnson's gonna
- 2:06:23Speaker 2: keep it himself. Did he get to the pylon? He
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: does nods, He's marked down at the half yard line.
- 2:06:30Speaker 2: He's short. Third down in Gold coming up for Kansas State.
- 2:06:35Speaker 3: That was great defense right there, because you know how
- 2:06:37Speaker 3: electric and fast he is. Looked like he get in there.
- 2:06:40Speaker 3: But man, what a great effort to stop him.
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: I was Smith's note, and I believe that did that.
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: Just I'd be shocked if they didn't run power right
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: here and try and get it right in. He actually
- 2:06:53Speaker 2: lost a little bit of yardage. There's back near the
- 2:06:55Speaker 2: one yard line. He's gonna keep it on the edge.
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: Third down in Gold at the one he goes under
- 2:06:59Speaker 2: center again and Avery Johnson.
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: Play action out to his right.
- 2:07:06Speaker 2: Avery Johnson stopped back in the three yard line. Utah
- 2:07:10Speaker 2: didn't buy the play action for a minute. John o'hall
- 2:07:15Speaker 2: was there, Lander Barton was there too, Johnson was there.
- 2:07:20Speaker 2: Now it's fourth and goal back in about the three
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: yard line in case States keeping the offense out. Wow,
- 2:07:28Speaker 2: clock at two oh five and running here to play.
- 2:07:30Speaker 2: Do they take a time out? I think they might.
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: They do not.
- 2:07:34Speaker 4: They're gonna go to the huddle. Fourth down and goal
- 2:07:37Speaker 4: with the three yard line.
- 2:07:38Speaker 1: He doesn't know what to play is now they're gonna
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: take a time out.
- 2:07:43Speaker 2: They're gonna break the huddle. Nope, they're gonna take a
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: time out. Five of the play clock. Probably the wise
- 2:07:47Speaker 2: moved to the north end zone, making some noise. There's
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: the timeout taking by Kansas State.
- 2:07:54Speaker 3: Kansas State. It's called the first time out of a
- 2:07:56Speaker 3: half thirty second time out up.
- 2:07:59Speaker 2: They're gonn to call this a media time out full
- 2:08:02Speaker 2: time on they do, We'll take it with them.
- 2:08:05Speaker 1: One of the biggest players in the ball game.
- 2:08:06Speaker 2: When we get back forth and goal with the Utah
- 2:08:08Speaker 2: three heading south to north Utah thirty one and Kansas
- 2:08:12Speaker 2: Sorry Utah thirty five at Kansas State thirty one, it's
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: is Utah football. From ESPN seven hundred the Youth Sports
- 2:08:18Speaker 2: Radio Network and at forty eighth to play. Here at
- 2:08:20Speaker 2: the third quarter, Utah thirty five at Kansas State thirty one,
- 2:08:23Speaker 2: the wild Cats face a fourth and goal with the
- 2:08:25Speaker 2: Utah three.
- 2:08:26Speaker 3: What are you expecting here, Scott, Well, you're certainly not
- 2:08:29Speaker 3: going to take the ball out of Avery Johnson's hands.
- 2:08:30Speaker 3: So what does that mean? It could mean him with
- 2:08:33Speaker 3: a power, you know, quarterback counter. It could mean him
- 2:08:36Speaker 3: rolling out.
- 2:08:37Speaker 1: Uh.
- 2:08:37Speaker 3: It feels like it's a little too far for play
- 2:08:40Speaker 3: action to work, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
- 2:08:43Speaker 3: Those tight ends are such a big part of what
- 2:08:47Speaker 3: Kansas State does, you know, and having those guys kind
- 2:08:49Speaker 3: of slip out of the backfield late utcha.
- 2:08:52Speaker 4: The twelfth man at their back as well. That's the
- 2:08:54Speaker 4: north end zone. Here we go, Kansas State to the field,
- 2:08:59Speaker 4: Utah to the field.
- 2:09:00Speaker 2: Fourth down and goal at the Utah three yard line
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: for Avery Johnson to the Wildcats trailing thirty.
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: Five thirty one.
- 2:09:06Speaker 4: Here late stage's third quarter in a must win game
- 2:09:10Speaker 4: for the University of.
- 2:09:10Speaker 2: Utah, Johnson has three tight ends on the field. He's
- 2:09:17Speaker 2: in the backfield with one of them claps his hands
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: low snap Utah bringing pressure. Oh, he threw it to
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: a man wide open. Nobody was with Garrett Oakley in
- 2:09:27Speaker 2: the end zone, and the Wildcats take the lead back
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: with about forty four to play. Here in the third
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: a coverage bus by Utah in kse State back of
- 2:09:35Speaker 2: the league.
- 2:09:36Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's they have three guys out here's number
- 2:09:38Speaker 3: four out of the backfield to the strong side. Who
- 2:09:40Speaker 3: has number four And it's probably the backside linebacker or
- 2:09:45Speaker 3: the safety. But someone doesn't pick up the back out
- 2:09:48Speaker 3: of the backfield and wide open.
- 2:09:49Speaker 4: I mean he was opened by eight yards.
- 2:09:51Speaker 2: There was nobody near him. Kansas State with a pat
- 2:09:56Speaker 2: will go back up by three and back and forth
- 2:09:59Speaker 2: we go on the it's late Saturday afternoon here at
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: Salt Lake City. Kick is up, Kick is good by
- 2:10:06Speaker 2: Rodriguez and the Cats lead a thirty eight to thirty five.
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: It was quite a dry fourteen plays, seventy nine yards
- 2:10:15Speaker 2: at a two yard touchdown pass from Avery Johnson Garrett
- 2:10:18Speaker 2: Oakley his second touchdown today and his seventh on the season,
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: and k State gets their first score of the second half.
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: And it's a three point lead again for all you.
- 2:10:28Speaker 3: Know, And in these in these tight games that Utah
- 2:10:30Speaker 3: has been in. It's you've seen it, you know where
- 2:10:32Speaker 3: they had the momentum against Texas Tech and had you know,
- 2:10:36Speaker 3: got back in that game. They had the momentum, they
- 2:10:38Speaker 3: got the lead against BYU, and the same thing here
- 2:10:41Speaker 3: against Kansas State and then the defense had to go
- 2:10:43Speaker 3: out and make a stop and they didn't, you know,
- 2:10:45Speaker 3: And it's it's kind of you've seen the same thing
- 2:10:47Speaker 3: here today. We'll see what this offense does if they
- 2:10:49Speaker 3: can answer back again. This is this is one of
- 2:10:51Speaker 3: those momentum is gonna shift consistence consistently through the rest
- 2:10:55Speaker 3: of this game. How do you handle how do you
- 2:10:56Speaker 3: manage it? How do you get it back on your side?
- 2:10:59Speaker 2: Aside from that touchdown, the biggest play was that blitz
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: on Johnson and that completion on third down along the
- 2:11:06Speaker 2: sideline to Jims.
- 2:11:08Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unfortunate with such a great effort down on
- 2:11:10Speaker 3: that goal line, you know, to come up short there.
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: But Avery Johnson's only thrown for sixty nine yards today,
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: it's amazing, but they've run for.
- 2:11:19Speaker 4: Four hundred and eight yards.
- 2:11:21Speaker 2: As Kansas State kickoff is returnable for Daniel Bray, He's
- 2:11:25Speaker 2: gonna take it at seven, picks his way forward and
- 2:11:27Speaker 2: he'll get out to about the twenty three yard line.
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: Kind of a slow developing return there. It's had a
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: seventeen yard return for Bray and that's where Utah will
- 2:11:37Speaker 2: begin first to ten down three now with a minute
- 2:11:40Speaker 2: thirty nine to play here in the third quarter.
- 2:11:42Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes those kickoffs when they're a little short like that,
- 2:11:45Speaker 3: the timing just gets a little bit off.
- 2:11:49Speaker 2: So Utah has been good. They've scored other two drives
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: out of the locker room here in the third quarter.
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: Can they make it a third drive with a touchdown?
- 2:11:56Speaker 2: Way Shawn Parker, Devin Dan, Pierre Wine up in the backfield,
- 2:12:01Speaker 2: two tights, two wide. Here's Bray in motion. Devon's gonna
- 2:12:04Speaker 2: roll to his right and look down the field. He's
- 2:12:06Speaker 2: gonna throw down the field and it's nearly intercepted. I'm
- 2:12:09Speaker 2: not sure what was happening on that play. You had
- 2:12:12Speaker 2: two guys running about the same route, Dallan Bentley and
- 2:12:15Speaker 2: JJ Buchanan, and they were both over throwing.
- 2:12:18Speaker 4: The ball was nearly intercepted.
- 2:12:20Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It actually Creed Wittemore, And certainly that's
- 2:12:24Speaker 3: not designed to have two guys in the same spot.
- 2:12:27Speaker 1: So second down to ten.
- 2:12:29Speaker 2: Well, you've run the ball so well here in the
- 2:12:31Speaker 2: second half way Sean Parker with Devin Dan Pierre. I
- 2:12:35Speaker 2: gonna hand the ball to Daniel Bray and he's gonna
- 2:12:37Speaker 2: lose five yards back to the he's gonna lose seven yards,
- 2:12:39Speaker 2: eight yards back to the sixteen yard line. Jordan Allen
- 2:12:42Speaker 2: made that tackle for Kansas State.
- 2:12:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just a great angle. I mean, he
- 2:12:47Speaker 3: doesn't even go in at all, He just sees Bray.
- 2:12:51Speaker 3: You know, when you have a guy like Bray that
- 2:12:53Speaker 3: does that so often, they're aware of it. It would
- 2:12:57Speaker 3: scare me to just not block that guy and say, yeah,
- 2:12:59Speaker 3: Bray's gotta beat him because he's you know, he doesn't
- 2:13:02Speaker 3: always do that.
- 2:13:02Speaker 2: Third and sixteen now for Utah, there's six of nine
- 2:13:05Speaker 2: on third down today from their own seventeen yard line.
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: Kansas State's gonna rush just for and drop everybody else back.
- 2:13:13Speaker 2: Devin's gonna have plenty of time here.
- 2:13:15Speaker 1: Now.
- 2:13:15Speaker 2: He scrambles to the right, looking down the field. Now
- 2:13:17Speaker 2: he's gonna try to run with it. He's gonna be
- 2:13:19Speaker 2: well short, gets back to the twenty two yard line,
- 2:13:22Speaker 2: picks up five and that's about it, Scott, when you
- 2:13:25Speaker 2: throw the ball on first down and don't complete it,
- 2:13:27Speaker 2: you put yourself behind the sticks. And Utah's run it
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: so well here in the second half, I'm a little
- 2:13:31Speaker 2: surprised to see that.
- 2:13:32Speaker 3: Yeah, and you got you gotta pick your best running play,
- 2:13:36Speaker 3: you know, on second down, and we you know, and
- 2:13:39Speaker 3: I think it's it's the way shaw More up the
- 2:13:41Speaker 3: middle of the field right there, as opposed to that
- 2:13:44Speaker 3: fly suite.
- 2:13:47Speaker 2: Sterling Locketts is the punt returner. A Ryan Phillips the
- 2:13:51Speaker 2: punt it here for Utah Lockett.
- 2:13:56Speaker 1: Good.
- 2:13:57Speaker 4: This is a high driving punt.
- 2:13:59Speaker 2: Lockett's gonna catch it all the way back in his
- 2:14:01Speaker 2: own twenty three yard line. There was some collision there,
- 2:14:05Speaker 2: but the guys tripped up ran into it the market
- 2:14:08Speaker 2: at the twenty four yard line.
- 2:14:09Speaker 4: That's where ky State will be get first in ten.
- 2:14:11Speaker 3: Yeah, last thing you really want to do in that
- 2:14:13Speaker 3: situation if you're Utah's offense, you know, attacking them straight
- 2:14:17Speaker 3: ahead Wayshaun Parker. That's that's the thing. I mean, if anything,
- 2:14:21Speaker 3: you want to run the ball, run quarterback counter again
- 2:14:23Speaker 3: with Bart Fickland.
- 2:14:25Speaker 2: Wasyshawn Parker's got eighty two yards He's averaging six point
- 2:14:28Speaker 2: eight per caring. Burt Ficklin's got fifty four yards. He's
- 2:14:31Speaker 2: averaging seven point seven per caring six seconds to play
- 2:14:36Speaker 2: in the third quarter. K State football first in ten
- 2:14:39Speaker 2: and their own twenty four, leading thirty eight to thirty five. Well,
- 2:14:42Speaker 2: if you like points, this has been your day to end.
- 2:14:45Speaker 2: You like defense, not so much. Avery Johnson in the
- 2:14:49Speaker 2: shot gun, Joe Jackson next to him, likely the final player.
- 2:14:52Speaker 4: In the third quarter. Johnson's gonna pass again, lots of
- 2:14:55Speaker 4: time in the flat. He's got Jackson out there, he's
- 2:14:58Speaker 4: being chased.
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: He's got guardage to the and out of bounds of
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: the forty three yard line.
- 2:15:03Speaker 4: Utah has been just out of.
- 2:15:05Speaker 2: Sorts in all all ways defensively here today. And that
- 2:15:10Speaker 2: takes us to the third quarter time out, a seventeen
- 2:15:13Speaker 2: yard gain Egan eighteen yard gain on first down, and
- 2:15:17Speaker 2: Kansas State in business as we head to the fourth.
- 2:15:20Speaker 2: Our score here after three quarters at Rice Cycles on
- 2:15:23Speaker 2: senior Day, Kansas State thirty eight, Utah thirty five. This
- 2:15:26Speaker 2: is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred had the Youth
- 2:15:30Speaker 2: Sports Radio Network back in Rice Cycles Stadium.
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: As we head to the fourth.
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: Quarter, it's Kansas State thirty eight, Utah thirty five. The
- 2:15:37Speaker 2: Wildcats have four hundred and ninety six yards of total
- 2:15:41Speaker 2: offense here in the game. Four hundred and eight of
- 2:15:43Speaker 2: it has come on the ground. Utah's got four oh
- 2:15:46Speaker 2: seven one ninety through the air, two seventeen on the ground.
- 2:15:49Speaker 2: You just said it, Scott, a moment ago at break
- 2:15:51Speaker 2: if ever in time Utah needed to force a turnover,
- 2:15:54Speaker 2: it's right now, because it feels like the moment of
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: Utah had coming out of the locker rooms kind of
- 2:15:59Speaker 2: dis in Case States back on the front foot again.
- 2:16:02Speaker 3: Yeah, just really dictating the tempo of everything here. Offensively,
- 2:16:06Speaker 3: Case State is to this Utah defense. You just don't
- 2:16:08Speaker 3: normally see that, and Utah just feels a step slow.
- 2:16:11Speaker 3: They feel confused. They just don't. They feel like they're
- 2:16:15Speaker 3: they're kind of reacting to everything. They're not.
- 2:16:19Speaker 1: They're not just being the aggressor in any anity situation.
- 2:16:23Speaker 8: Timer, please reset the game clock to fifteen. Timer, please
- 2:16:27Speaker 8: reset the game clock to fifteen minutes.
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: Kansas State first and ten at their own forty two
- 2:16:33Speaker 2: Avery Johnson ten of seventeen eighty eight yards today nine
- 2:16:37Speaker 2: for sixty one on the ground, but the damage is
- 2:16:39Speaker 2: done by Joe Jackson, who's in the ball game. Fifteen
- 2:16:41Speaker 2: sixteen carries two undor fifty one yards. We'll have to
- 2:16:46Speaker 2: look up the total and see the most rushing yards
- 2:16:48Speaker 2: against Utah.
- 2:16:49Speaker 4: I think it might be Kadem Carry from Arizona.
- 2:16:52Speaker 2: Johnson to pass on first down, he's gonna keep it
- 2:16:54Speaker 2: himself right up the middle. Forty five fifty it out
- 2:16:57Speaker 2: of bounds. That's gonna be a gain of eight yards.
- 2:17:00Speaker 2: It's just hard for me to believe they don't have
- 2:17:02Speaker 2: an eye on Avery Johnson.
- 2:17:04Speaker 1: Now and again it's that quarterback draw. They just they
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: just take their running back out of there.
- 2:17:09Speaker 3: They actually take Lander Bartin out of the middle there
- 2:17:11Speaker 3: and they're just down a guy.
- 2:17:13Speaker 1: It's you don't have enough guys to defend it right here.
- 2:17:15Speaker 2: Second down in one right at midfield, got to get
- 2:17:17Speaker 2: to the Utah forty nine forty eight yard line for
- 2:17:20Speaker 2: a first down. Jackson stays in a tailback. They flex
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: two receivers out wide to the left hand side. This
- 2:17:25Speaker 2: will be a run. I just feel it in my
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: bones right now. Johnson checks with a sideline. Now he's
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: going to change the play clock running at fourteen thirty
- 2:17:35Speaker 2: to play, Jackson moves to his left hand side. Utah
- 2:17:38Speaker 2: was just fourth the line of scrimmage. They handed to Jackson.
- 2:17:41Speaker 2: He's got the second level and down to the Utah
- 2:17:44Speaker 2: forty five for a game of almost five yards.
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: Benny made the tackle.
- 2:17:50Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just picking where Utah has a gap short
- 2:17:53Speaker 3: and they're just calling the zone read to that hole
- 2:17:55Speaker 3: right there. Bom, it's just right there. No one's in
- 2:17:58Speaker 3: that gap.
- 2:18:00Speaker 2: First down in ten from the Utah forty five for
- 2:18:03Speaker 2: the Kansas State Wildcats under fourteen to play at the
- 2:18:06Speaker 2: clock running.
- 2:18:08Speaker 4: They're not going to be in any hurry.
- 2:18:10Speaker 2: Three receivers right one to the left hand side. Johnson's
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: gonna pass again, looking for the running back out of
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: the backfield. Now he's being chase smith Snowden tries to
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: get him from behind, couldn't quite get there, but he
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: throws it away out of bounds. Joe Jackson was the
- 2:18:27Speaker 2: intended receiver. Second down to ten coming up. Are you
- 2:18:30Speaker 2: surprised I throwing the ball skuy.
- 2:18:32Speaker 3: A little bit. You know, it looked like it was
- 2:18:34Speaker 3: going to be a screen, and I think they try
- 2:18:36Speaker 3: to mix in, you know, some high percentage type of
- 2:18:39Speaker 3: plays here, and you know, Lemani Demuni does a nice
- 2:18:43Speaker 3: job of plastering the running back right there.
- 2:18:47Speaker 2: Mark now the tailback, big guy at two hundred twenty
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: two pounds, Second down in ten, Johnson changing the play again.
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: He's gonna have the ball in Martin this time Martin
- 2:19:04Speaker 2: second level. He's still running to the Utah thirty three
- 2:19:07Speaker 2: and a first down.
- 2:19:10Speaker 1: Again.
- 2:19:10Speaker 4: I just I have no explanation for it.
- 2:19:12Speaker 2: That's a twelve yard gain of the first down tackle
- 2:19:14Speaker 2: by Cash Dylan.
- 2:19:15Speaker 1: Well, it's not really complicated.
- 2:19:17Speaker 3: They're just calling it to a certain front technique, which
- 2:19:21Speaker 3: is the three technique, and then they're just there's just
- 2:19:23Speaker 3: no one's in that cap.
- 2:19:24Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why they're not there, but
- 2:19:26Speaker 1: no one's there.
- 2:19:28Speaker 2: First down and ten from the Utah thirty four, Johnson
- 2:19:40Speaker 2: and Martin again. Johnson to pass again, just a four
- 2:19:43Speaker 2: man rush, a lot of time throwing to the outside.
- 2:19:45Speaker 1: It's caught.
- 2:19:47Speaker 3: Wow. What a catch. Wow.
- 2:19:49Speaker 2: Coverage was then by Benny, but an outstanding catch by
- 2:19:52Speaker 2: the tight end, Garrett Oakley, showing you why he's an
- 2:19:54Speaker 2: All Big twelve caliber tight end.
- 2:19:56Speaker 4: That's a pickup of nine and he's down on thee
- 2:19:58Speaker 4: for an.
- 2:19:59Speaker 3: Injured offensive yeah, Jackson, maybe he tries for the interception.
- 2:20:03Speaker 3: I don't know, if he just doesn't get his hand
- 2:20:04Speaker 3: out there and he can just knock it down. He's
- 2:20:06Speaker 3: right on it. And just if he, you know it,
- 2:20:09Speaker 3: tries for the interceptions, doesn't quite get it.
- 2:20:12Speaker 2: It's close, twelve forty five to play. We've got a
- 2:20:17Speaker 2: thirty second time outs. We're gonna keep it right here.
- 2:20:20Speaker 2: You gonna huddle up briefly while they tend to garrett
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: openly on that far sideline. It'll be second down in one.

- 2:21:04Speaker 3: really shown. And I mean that throat right there, it's
- 2:21:07Speaker 3: about as dangerous as you can get. They make it. Yep.
- 2:21:11Speaker 2: Second that in about a yard and a half from
- 2:21:14Speaker 2: the Utah twenty six Jackson thetailed back offset IE formation

- 2:21:30Speaker 4: Five yard pederal second dount nine penalty seventy yards.
- 2:21:34Speaker 1: Now with the Wildcats, this.
- 2:21:37Speaker 7: Is where the Utes live on game day and every day.
- 2:21:40Speaker 7: You're tuned to ka LL North Salt Lake ESPN seven
- 2:21:45Speaker 7: hundred and.
- 2:21:46Speaker 2: Ninety two to one a half am offset I formation again,
- 2:21:50Speaker 2: tight end next to the quarterback, Jackson behind the quarterback
- 2:21:53Speaker 2: almost a pistol strength on the right hand side. You're
- 2:21:56Speaker 2: gonna turn and handed to Jackson. He's gonna bust to
- 2:21:58Speaker 2: the outside and pick up about a yard. That's it
- 2:22:02Speaker 2: to the twenty nine yard line and to be third
- 2:22:04Speaker 2: down and five and a half to go here for
- 2:22:06Speaker 2: Kansas State. That time you can offload wee the ball,
- 2:22:09Speaker 2: Smith snowed in on the tackle.
- 2:22:11Speaker 3: Yeah, it just looked like, I don't know, it just
- 2:22:13Speaker 3: looked different from the defense right there. They were playing
- 2:22:16Speaker 3: downhill with confidence and really stopped it for no game.
- 2:22:21Speaker 2: But the biggest third down of the night here for
- 2:22:23Speaker 2: the Utah defense Kansas State.
- 2:22:24Speaker 1: Four out of nine on third down.
- 2:22:27Speaker 2: Do they bring pressure, We'll see Avery Johnson goes under center,
- 2:22:32Speaker 2: moves his tight ends to the left hand side. Jackson's
- 2:22:36Speaker 2: your tailback. They turn and give it to Jackson. He's
- 2:22:40Speaker 2: got the second level. He's gonna be close to first
- 2:22:42Speaker 2: down yardage. They'll bark him about a yard.
- 2:22:45Speaker 1: Shy.
- 2:22:46Speaker 2: He got the twenty five. He needed the twenty four
- 2:22:48Speaker 2: to be fourth down and one now, and they're gonna
- 2:22:50Speaker 2: keep the offense out there.
- 2:22:53Speaker 1: Too many yards. Yeah, I'm just shocked that they got
- 2:22:55Speaker 1: that many yards. You know.
- 2:22:56Speaker 3: They they basically do what Utah does. They get in
- 2:22:59Speaker 3: the big jumbo four or five tight ends.
- 2:23:02Speaker 4: And just run the ball right at you fourth at
- 2:23:04Speaker 4: about half a yard. Then you gotta get just on
- 2:23:07Speaker 4: the other side of the twenty five.
- 2:23:09Speaker 3: Probably gonna call the same play.
- 2:23:11Speaker 4: Johnson under center, Jackson behind you, pitch outside Jackson, did
- 2:23:19Speaker 4: he get there. He did first down to the Utah
- 2:23:23Speaker 4: twenty two.
- 2:23:23Speaker 2: The drive stays alive as we dip under eleven to
- 2:23:25Speaker 2: play the moon.
- 2:23:26Speaker 4: He made the tackle, just a.
- 2:23:28Speaker 2: Quick speed pitch to the outside and Jackson got the
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: yard he's needed and he's now over two hundred and
- 2:23:33Speaker 2: sixty yards rushing today.
- 2:23:35Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great play, great effort there by the
- 2:23:37Speaker 3: defense hard. That's hard to defend right there. You get
- 2:23:39Speaker 3: that real quick pitch and you out leverage the defense
- 2:23:44Speaker 3: hard to stop.
- 2:23:48Speaker 2: Clock continues to run the Utah offense on the sideline.
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: Kansas State offense continued to run here and run well.
- 2:23:57Speaker 2: Shotgun Johnson, Jackson next to him to ten to laid
- 2:24:01Speaker 2: hand off Jackson nothing doing that time right into the
- 2:24:06Speaker 2: teeth of that Utah defense and he's stacked up and
- 2:24:08Speaker 2: taken down via Mahi there John u Hall there as
- 2:24:11Speaker 2: well for Utah. Now we dip under ten to play
- 2:24:14Speaker 2: thirty eight to thirty five Kansas State.
- 2:24:17Speaker 3: Yeah, what gets hard here when you really need these
- 2:24:20Speaker 3: stops and your defense has been on the field for
- 2:24:23Speaker 3: a lot of the second half just because they haven't
- 2:24:26Speaker 3: been able to stop anybody.
- 2:24:27Speaker 2: They get tired late in the game. Second at nine.
- 2:24:30Speaker 2: Johnson by himself in the shotgun. Watched the quarterback keeper. Yep,
- 2:24:36Speaker 2: he's gonna keep it himself out on the edge. Abray
- 2:24:38Speaker 2: Johnson stays on his feet out of bounds in about
- 2:24:42Speaker 2: the twenty yard line. Jackson Benny forced him out. Somebody
- 2:24:46Speaker 2: had an opportunity to get in deep and they couldn't
- 2:24:50Speaker 2: do it. It was Benny.
- 2:24:51Speaker 1: He got stiff warmed.
- 2:24:54Speaker 4: Third down, coming up again, third down at five.
- 2:24:57Speaker 1: Yeah, Jen Beny usually pretty good.
- 2:24:59Speaker 3: And that's it. Situation just now.
- 2:25:01Speaker 4: Averray Johnson's every bit as big.
- 2:25:03Speaker 1: As he is.
- 2:25:03Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta he's get stiff arm. You got to
- 2:25:05Speaker 3: grab the arm, tackle him with the arm when he
- 2:25:08Speaker 3: stiff arms.
- 2:25:08Speaker 2: Four out of ten on third down. Utah stopped him
- 2:25:11Speaker 2: last time on third down.
- 2:25:12Speaker 1: Could they do it again?
- 2:25:13Speaker 3: QB drawg in. I'll bet they run. QB draw a.
- 2:25:15Speaker 4: Third and five for the Utah eighteen. Jackson motions out.
- 2:25:21Speaker 4: Johnson's gonna run, scrambling to the outside, throwing to the
- 2:25:24Speaker 4: end zone incomplete.
- 2:25:26Speaker 2: Excellent tumbridge by Blake Cotton knocked it away from TIBs.
- 2:25:32Speaker 2: I'll bring up fourth down and that will force a
- 2:25:34Speaker 2: field goal for the Wildcats with eight fifty six to play.
- 2:25:40Speaker 3: Yeah, big play right here and like to see that
- 2:25:43Speaker 3: they just kind of let him play in that situation.
- 2:25:45Speaker 3: And a tremendous play by Blake Cotton there to just
- 2:25:48Speaker 3: have an awareness to knock that ball away.
- 2:25:51Speaker 2: So this will be we'll call him about a thirty
- 2:25:53Speaker 2: six yard field goal just inside the right hash for
- 2:25:57Speaker 2: Rod Regaz.
- 2:25:58Speaker 4: He's ten of eleven this year. Come on, Misten, actually
- 2:26:01Speaker 4: eleven to twelve this year. Good staff, good hold, the
- 2:26:05Speaker 4: kick is away and it is good. Eight fifty one
- 2:26:10Speaker 4: to play. The lead is six for Kansas State and
- 2:26:13Speaker 4: we'll take a time out. Are broadcast today being brought

- 2:26:39Speaker 2: Given you the same great care that they give the
- 2:26:41Speaker 2: utes because you belonged back in the game as much
- 2:26:43Speaker 2: as anyone. It's a big drive coming up here for
- 2:26:47Speaker 2: Utah down by six with eight to fifty one to play.
- 2:26:49Speaker 4: Possessions. There aren't gonna be many of them left in
- 2:26:51Speaker 4: this game, Scott.
- 2:26:53Speaker 3: No, they're at a premium, especially Kent State offensively, just
- 2:26:57Speaker 3: really controlling them all. Utah's gotta gotta take advantage of
- 2:27:00Speaker 3: the shots they have.
- 2:27:01Speaker 2: This kick is short, it's returnable if Bray wants to
- 2:27:04Speaker 2: fum the three. Here comes Daniel Bray. Daniel Bray to
- 2:27:08Speaker 2: the twenty and just stopped right there. And goodness gracious,
- 2:27:12Speaker 2: an eighty yard field coming up here for Utah. Ray
- 2:27:14Speaker 2: had the good one early it was thirty, but since
- 2:27:16Speaker 2: then the couple he's tried to bring out have been
- 2:27:18Speaker 2: short of the twenty five yard line.
- 2:27:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and the returns to the right and the kicks
- 2:27:21Speaker 3: to the left, and so you know, it almost looked
- 2:27:24Speaker 3: like it'd be better off going to the left there,
- 2:27:26Speaker 3: but it took too long again to get get where
- 2:27:29Speaker 3: the blockers were.
- 2:27:30Speaker 2: Devin damp Pierre back at a quarterback for Utah eight
- 2:27:33Speaker 2: fifty one to play down forty five to play up
- 2:27:36Speaker 2: for the return. He's got way Sean Parker in there
- 2:27:39Speaker 2: with him, and Wayshan will be the wildcat back. He
- 2:27:43Speaker 2: brings Devion in motion across the formation and keeps it himself.
- 2:27:47Speaker 2: Wayshan Parker gets back to the line of scrimmage, and
- 2:27:50Speaker 2: that's it. I'm not sure that's the called on first down.
- 2:27:54Speaker 3: No, I'm not either. It's it's just too easy to
- 2:27:57Speaker 3: defend in it. I mean, Kansas State has eleven guys
- 2:28:00Speaker 3: at the line of scream and say no, way Shawn's
- 2:28:02Speaker 3: not gonna throw the ball.
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: Second down in ten, it's Parker in the backfield with
- 2:28:10Speaker 2: Devin dan Peer hand off again the way Sean Hope.
- 2:28:13Speaker 2: They throw the flanker screen to the outside here, try
- 2:28:15Speaker 2: to get up the field and make positive yardage. But
- 2:28:17Speaker 2: nothing there for Larry Simmons. He gets three yards to
- 2:28:21Speaker 2: the twenty three. That's gonna bring up third down and long.
- 2:28:23Speaker 3: Larry should have just kept pulling up the field, and
- 2:28:25Speaker 3: these receivers have been really good at that. You just
- 2:28:27Speaker 3: got to catch a boom go upfield. Too long to
- 2:28:31Speaker 3: get turned around. You're backs to the field. You're not
- 2:28:35Speaker 3: going anywhere. We're gonna get that upfield.
- 2:28:40Speaker 2: Third down and seven. Damn Pierre gonna keep it himself
- 2:28:44Speaker 2: straight ahead. Devon's got first down, yardage to the thirty one.
- 2:28:47Speaker 4: The ball's out, the balls out, Kansas State's got the football.
- 2:28:52Speaker 4: Oh no, the first turn over the ball game running
- 2:28:55Speaker 4: on the field. He's a buffer by the quarterback, Devin
- 2:28:58Speaker 4: dam Pierre because and Cody's stuff will being came up
- 2:29:04Speaker 4: with it. Devin took the hit at about the twenty
- 2:29:09Speaker 4: nine and the ball came out. The hit was made
- 2:29:13Speaker 4: by VJ. Payne, and Kansas State takes over at the
- 2:29:17Speaker 4: Utah twenty six yard line.
- 2:29:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I just got a shoulder right there on the
- 2:29:21Speaker 3: football and Devin's spinning at the same time. Probably not
- 2:29:25Speaker 3: secure as it could be in and you know, Case
- 2:29:29Speaker 3: State has been opportunistic on getting the turnovers, and about
- 2:29:33Speaker 3: the worst time because he had the first down.
- 2:29:35Speaker 2: Now they're already at field goal range, up by six.
- 2:29:40Speaker 2: A touchdown would be devastating here for Utah's chances. Avery
- 2:29:45Speaker 2: Johnson had the shotgun first down, handoff Jackson left side.
- 2:29:49Speaker 2: He'll pick up two to the twenty four yard line
- 2:29:52Speaker 2: and that's it. John oh hall in on the tackle
- 2:29:54Speaker 2: for Utah block at seven and a half to play
- 2:29:57Speaker 2: time Now Utah's enemy. Even if Case State just kicks
- 2:30:00Speaker 2: a field goal, that becomes a two possession game at
- 2:30:03Speaker 2: nine points.
- 2:30:03Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're really in a hole right here.
- 2:30:05Speaker 3: But the sure thing you have to do is stop
- 2:30:09Speaker 3: him from getting a touchdown.
- 2:30:11Speaker 2: Kansas State second and eight at the Utah twenty four
- 2:30:17Speaker 2: pistol formation, Abray Johnson gives straight ahead Jackson fifteen ten
- 2:30:24Speaker 2: to five touchdown.
- 2:30:27Speaker 4: And Utah's in real trouble now forty seven thirty five.
- 2:30:33Speaker 2: Joe Jackson goes twenty four yards up the middle for
- 2:30:36Speaker 2: his third touchdown of the day, and he's got two
- 2:30:39Speaker 2: hundred and ninety one yards rushing in Kansas State a
- 2:30:44Speaker 2: point away from being up by thirteen here with just seven.
- 2:30:47Speaker 3: Minutes left, and guys are just kind of sitting back
- 2:30:51Speaker 3: and tail Johnson's right there to make the tackle and
- 2:30:55Speaker 3: just tackle high just doesn't you know, it doesn't get
- 2:30:58Speaker 3: the guy down and just spins off. This is I mean,
- 2:31:00Speaker 3: the good thing about it is if they're gonna score,
- 2:31:02Speaker 3: at least they score quickly, so it does give you
- 2:31:04Speaker 3: more time. But you got to be in a serious
- 2:31:07Speaker 3: urgency here.
- 2:31:08Speaker 2: Two point effort now for k State to try to
- 2:31:11Speaker 2: put them up by fourteen.
- 2:31:14Speaker 4: From the three yard line. Avery Johnson backpedals to pass
- 2:31:20Speaker 4: toward the end zone incomplete and intercept it.
- 2:31:23Speaker 2: Utahs got it. They'll try to bring it out. They
- 2:31:25Speaker 2: will up the sideline twenty This one might go here
- 2:31:30Speaker 2: we go fifty forty five, forty thirty five thirty.
- 2:31:34Speaker 5: This could be bad.
- 2:31:34Speaker 1: Can he get there? Fifteen ten five touchdown?
- 2:31:41Speaker 4: Tao Johnson, it's two points the other way on the
- 2:31:44Speaker 4: two point conversion.
- 2:31:46Speaker 1: I think there's a flag though it might be past interference.
- 2:31:49Speaker 2: We'll see all the way back. No, there's I don't
- 2:31:54Speaker 2: see a flag.
- 2:31:55Speaker 3: Is it right there in the end zone?
- 2:31:57Speaker 2: Oh, it might be there, you go, Scot. I was
- 2:31:58Speaker 2: looking at the injured Kansas State player. We'll see if
- 2:32:01Speaker 2: this one's coming back.
- 2:32:02Speaker 1: It might.
- 2:32:03Speaker 2: That would have been a huge swing for Utah. Yeah,
- 2:32:06Speaker 2: would have put him down just ten.
- 2:32:11Speaker 1: There is no follow up there.
- 2:32:12Speaker 3: Oh wow the Utah. Oh that's huge.
- 2:32:17Speaker 2: So Utah instead of being down twelve or fourteen, Wow,
- 2:32:20Speaker 2: now down just ten?
- 2:32:23Speaker 3: Wow?
- 2:32:23Speaker 2: Forty seven thirty seven with seven minutes to play. Tao
- 2:32:28Speaker 2: Johnson got the deflection of the interception four yards deep
- 2:32:32Speaker 2: and ran it out for two points the other way.
- 2:32:37Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:32:40Speaker 2: But the Utah turnover turns into a touchdown for Kansas State.
- 2:32:44Speaker 1: That's the bigger turnover.
- 2:32:49Speaker 3: Wow, that's a great play, just you know, you's got
- 2:32:51Speaker 3: to play it all the way through and awareness they're
- 2:32:54Speaker 3: knocking the ball down getting it, you know, in great
- 2:32:56Speaker 3: effort here by Tao to just keep going.
- 2:32:59Speaker 2: Trey Reynolds with a rate block on Avery Johnson as well,
- 2:33:01Speaker 2: because Johnson was in position because he's speedy enough to
- 2:33:04Speaker 2: maybe catch Tao Johnson, but he couldn't catch him in Tao.
- 2:33:08Speaker 2: One hundred that goes down officially is one hundred yards
- 2:33:12Speaker 2: on that two point the other way.
- 2:33:15Speaker 3: And you know you're trying to get three points right
- 2:33:17Speaker 3: and you only you know they only got five points
- 2:33:18Speaker 3: on the play instead of seven, which is huge.
- 2:33:21Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just a big effort there.
- 2:33:24Speaker 3: As poorly as this defense is played, you know, still
- 2:33:26Speaker 3: in the ballgame, still plenty of time left.
- 2:33:28Speaker 1: There's a time out of the field.
- 2:33:29Speaker 2: We'll take it with him and be back quickly to
- 2:33:31Speaker 2: Rice ecles forty seven thirty seven Kansas State, seven minutes
- 2:33:34Speaker 2: to play, and this is Utah football from ESPN seven
- 2:33:37Speaker 2: hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network.
- 2:33:39Speaker 4: Back at Rice Ecles Stadium. The kickoff goes through and
- 2:33:42Speaker 4: out for a touchback, and Utah's got it first intended
- 2:33:44Speaker 4: their own twenty five, down ten points with seven minutes
- 2:33:49Speaker 4: to play. They need a quick scoring drive and at
- 2:33:51Speaker 4: a defensive stop. We've seen him do it here early
- 2:33:54Speaker 4: stages of the second half. Can they do it right here?
- 2:33:58Speaker 3: We shall see. Just really need a sense of urgency
- 2:34:01Speaker 3: from this offense. You just gotta get go. Gotta have
- 2:34:04Speaker 3: some pace to you, Devin Damn pier back in a quarterback.
- 2:34:07Speaker 3: After the fumble, You're gonna.
- 2:34:08Speaker 2: Run the option to the outside, pitching the way Sean Parker.
- 2:34:11Speaker 2: Parker up the sideline and Bell could out of bounds
- 2:34:14Speaker 2: very close the first down yard IgE he needed the
- 2:34:16Speaker 2: thirty five?
- 2:34:17Speaker 1: Where will they? Mark came out?
- 2:34:18Speaker 2: Then Mark came out at about the thirty four after
- 2:34:20Speaker 2: a nine yard game, way shod. Now closing in on
- 2:34:23Speaker 2: one hundred yards. He's got fifteen carries for ninety one.
- 2:34:26Speaker 3: Yeah. Really good play here by Devin because he gets
- 2:34:29Speaker 3: them all to commit to him. There are a lot
- 2:34:30Speaker 3: of bodies over there could have blown that.
- 2:34:32Speaker 2: Playoff clock continues to run at six forty to play.
- 2:34:35Speaker 2: Utah's gotta go quickly here with a sense of urgency.
- 2:34:38Speaker 2: On second down and one, Devon's gonna pass in cutting round,
- 2:34:41Speaker 2: that's caught.
- 2:34:43Speaker 1: Whittemore made the catch.
- 2:34:44Speaker 3: Gonna be a.
- 2:34:45Speaker 1: Utah first down.
- 2:34:46Speaker 2: They'll stop the clock, allow, they don't stop until we're
- 2:34:49Speaker 2: inside of about two.
- 2:34:50Speaker 4: Minutes, so it still continues to run the new NFL rules.
- 2:34:53Speaker 3: Yeah, if they ever just pumped that once, just slant
- 2:34:55Speaker 3: and go. Well, hits a touchdown first and ten at
- 2:34:58Speaker 3: the forty yard line. Now for damn here in the utes,
- 2:35:01Speaker 3: Devin had a shotgut with way Sean Parker where they've
- 2:35:04Speaker 3: got to go quicker than this, Scott. Yeah, poor man
- 2:35:07Speaker 3: down front for Kansas State. Devon's going to keep it
- 2:35:11Speaker 3: himself out the left hand side, bouncing too the outside, should.
- 2:35:13Speaker 2: Have cut it in and he goes down after a
- 2:35:15Speaker 2: game of about four to the forty four yard line. Well,
- 2:35:17Speaker 2: if he belts that back up inside, he's got running
- 2:35:20Speaker 2: room and all day long up the middle instead just
- 2:35:22Speaker 2: a four yard game.
- 2:35:23Speaker 3: You have to wonder too, if like his injury is
- 2:35:27Speaker 3: kind of making him feel a little concerned about going
- 2:35:30Speaker 3: to the inside there.
- 2:35:32Speaker 2: Second down in five the forty five yard line for Utah.
- 2:35:35Speaker 2: The clock is not their friend right now, and they
- 2:35:37Speaker 2: are not moving quickly. Five and the clock running to go.
- 2:35:44Speaker 2: Passing on second and five, pass caught over the middle
- 2:35:47Speaker 2: and down to the forty five yard line, they go.
- 2:35:49Speaker 2: Larry Simmons made the grab, first catch for Larry in
- 2:35:51Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, and another first down for Utah.
- 2:35:54Speaker 2: But the clock continues to run. Remember it doesn't stop
- 2:35:57Speaker 2: this year. And still inside of two minutes for the
- 2:36:01Speaker 2: Kansas State forty five yard line first down handoff Parker
- 2:36:04Speaker 2: way Shan stopped after about a one yard maybe two
- 2:36:08Speaker 2: yard game to about the forty three yard line. He's
- 2:36:10Speaker 2: got ninety three on the afternoon now, des Pernell made
- 2:36:13Speaker 2: the tackle for Kansas State. As we're coming up on
- 2:36:16Speaker 2: five minutes to play. The clock continues to run. Here
- 2:36:19Speaker 2: for Utah, go gotta go, gotta go. They played with
- 2:36:21Speaker 2: more tempo in that opening drive coming out of the
- 2:36:23Speaker 2: locker room passing play Devin dan Pear, lots of time
- 2:36:28Speaker 2: to the outside, he goes caught but in bounds to
- 2:36:31Speaker 2: the forty yard line. That's a game of three third
- 2:36:34Speaker 2: down and five coming up. That was Dallan Bentley with
- 2:36:37Speaker 2: the catch for Utah that time.
- 2:36:38Speaker 3: Yeah, if you get thrown out there, throw it sooner
- 2:36:40Speaker 3: so he can get you know, it's just too long.
- 2:36:43Speaker 4: Third catch today for Dallon Bentley.
- 2:36:45Speaker 2: Four and a half to play. Now, Utah going not
- 2:36:48Speaker 2: fast enough right now? Speed option again was Shawn Parker. Again,
- 2:36:51Speaker 2: Parker up the sideline and out of bounds.
- 2:36:53Speaker 1: He goes.
- 2:36:54Speaker 2: Did he get the first down yardag he needed? Let's
- 2:36:56Speaker 2: see where the marking they do not. They marked him
- 2:36:59Speaker 2: out of thirty seven yard line, thirty six yard line
- 2:37:03Speaker 2: the count.
- 2:37:03Speaker 4: And the clock's still running twenty five four, twenty five.
- 2:37:07Speaker 3: Thirty six, which is about where they got it.
- 2:37:09Speaker 1: And that's gonna be fourth down and one.
- 2:37:11Speaker 2: Now, Utah take your time now they plan to have
- 2:37:13Speaker 2: to hold it for the substitution.
- 2:37:15Speaker 4: Do not call time out there. You need those timeouts.
- 2:37:18Speaker 4: Fourth and one almost one and a half. Damp Pierre
- 2:37:22Speaker 4: in Parker, You've got to get this if you're Utah
- 2:37:24Speaker 4: side and off damp Pierre and he is short. He
- 2:37:28Speaker 4: didn't get it. He didn't get it. And there's a
- 2:37:31Speaker 4: flag down.
- 2:37:32Speaker 3: Oh there, guy jumped off sides on the defense.
- 2:37:35Speaker 2: There's there's two flags in the secondary. Now did case
- 2:37:38Speaker 2: State have too many men on the field?
- 2:37:43Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:37:43Speaker 2: Utah did not get the first down. Let's see what
- 2:37:46Speaker 2: they call.
- 2:37:46Speaker 8: Is substitution on the defense. Players on the field five
- 2:37:50Speaker 8: yard fifty first down.
- 2:37:52Speaker 2: That is exactly what it was. Case State just gifted
- 2:37:54Speaker 2: Utah first down. Scott, Utah's gotta go, quicker, they gotta
- 2:37:57Speaker 2: go foh one to play.
- 2:37:59Speaker 1: And there's still at the k State thirty two yard line.
- 2:38:02Speaker 3: Come on, go now, they're going to.
- 2:38:04Speaker 2: Roll the clock here momentarily call it under four to play.
- 2:38:08Speaker 3: Now.
- 2:38:09Speaker 2: They appear in the shotgun way, Sean Parker next to him,
- 2:38:15Speaker 2: whistles blowing. They appeared down the field, up and incomplete
- 2:38:20Speaker 2: trying to get that ball to Larry Simmons. Clock stops
- 2:38:22Speaker 2: with three forty six to play.
- 2:38:24Speaker 3: Did you hear whistles? I thought I did.
- 2:38:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I did too, and I think a bunch of
- 2:38:27Speaker 2: players stopped. Devin did not a little bit further in
- 2:38:31Speaker 2: front of Simmons town tell you hit him right in
- 2:38:33Speaker 2: the hands. He should have caught that. Hit him right
- 2:38:36Speaker 2: in the hands. I think he was anticipating something, but
- 2:38:39Speaker 2: it hit him right in twenty five maybe at the
- 2:38:42Speaker 2: very last say you've got his hand in there at
- 2:38:43Speaker 2: the last second.
- 2:38:44Speaker 3: You know, if you reach up with your hands as
- 2:38:46Speaker 3: opposed to setting him out.
- 2:38:48Speaker 1: Kansas State, it's called the second time out of the house.
- 2:38:51Speaker 3: Interesting, thank you Kansas State.
- 2:38:53Speaker 2: Well, the clock was stopped, but Utah just seemed a
- 2:38:55Speaker 2: little discombobulated. So we're gonna is it immedia time out
- 2:38:59Speaker 2: of is okay, We'll take the media time out with them.
- 2:39:02Speaker 2: With three forty six to play, Utah down ten with
- 2:39:05Speaker 2: three timeouts and second and tended the KSE State thirty two,
- 2:39:09Speaker 2: Kansas State forty seven, Utah thirty seven. And this is
- 2:39:12Speaker 2: Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred, the Youth Sports Radio Network.
- 2:39:15Speaker 1: Hey game Day sweeter.
- 2:39:17Speaker 2: With a chocolate chip cookie from Chip Cookies, official cookie
- 2:39:20Speaker 2: provider of Utah football. Chip Day is game day here
- 2:39:24Speaker 2: at Rice Eckels. It's getting laid on this Utah team today.
- 2:39:27Speaker 2: They're down ten, forty seven thirty seven, with three forty
- 2:39:30Speaker 2: six to play, They've got all three timeouts, and they're
- 2:39:33Speaker 2: at the k State thirty two. But there hasn't been
- 2:39:35Speaker 2: a ton of urgency on this drive.
- 2:39:37Speaker 3: Scott, No, there hasn't. And you just you have to
- 2:39:40Speaker 3: really look for big plays. You got to look for
- 2:39:42Speaker 3: ways to conserve time. You want to give yourself as
- 2:39:46Speaker 3: much of an opportunity at the end of this game
- 2:39:48Speaker 3: because and you don't want to call time out because
- 2:39:51Speaker 3: you need those timeouts for your defense, and your defense
- 2:39:53Speaker 3: got to figure something out here. But you know, right
- 2:39:56Speaker 3: out of this break they should have a good play
- 2:39:58Speaker 3: called and call something that. He takes a shot down the.
- 2:40:00Speaker 2: Second and ten for the k state thirty two. Damp
- 2:40:03Speaker 2: Pier to pass. Now he's gonna scramble, he can't take
- 2:40:05Speaker 2: a sack, and he throws it to one of his line.
- 2:40:07Speaker 4: It's a backward pass. Does it go out of bounds?
- 2:40:12Speaker 4: It was either it that's gonna be Oh my goodness, Devin, Oh,
- 2:40:18Speaker 4: here we go.
- 2:40:19Speaker 1: Here's the call.
- 2:40:22Speaker 8: Intentional grounding offense number four bas at the spot of
- 2:40:27Speaker 8: the file tonalty includes the loss of down, third down.
- 2:40:32Speaker 2: It's gonna be a penalty that takes them back to
- 2:40:34Speaker 2: the forty four.
- 2:40:35Speaker 1: That's a twelve yard loss and loss of.
- 2:40:38Speaker 4: Down for damn Pier. I don't know what he was
- 2:40:40Speaker 4: seeing on that play.
- 2:40:41Speaker 3: Well, what you need to see is that if it's
- 2:40:43Speaker 3: not there, get rid of the fricking ball right now,
- 2:40:46Speaker 3: like you can't run, so throw the ball away because
- 2:40:49Speaker 3: that's the problem. He gets into he holds it way
- 2:40:52Speaker 3: too long, and then he gets in a really really
- 2:40:54Speaker 3: bad situation and makes a really really bad decision.
- 2:40:57Speaker 2: It's four down territory for Utah. They're third down at
- 2:41:01Speaker 2: twenty two back in the k State forty fourth damp
- 2:41:04Speaker 2: peer to pass, lots of time, good pocket pumps once
- 2:41:07Speaker 2: scrambling to his right, looking down the field and time.
- 2:41:11Speaker 4: What a gram that's this? Where do they call Larry Simmons?
- 2:41:15Speaker 4: All the way to the twenty three?
- 2:41:17Speaker 2: He'll be a yard shy of the first down and
- 2:41:19Speaker 2: to be fourth and one, Utah's gonna have to get
- 2:41:22Speaker 2: quickly to the line of scrimmage. Here they need the
- 2:41:25Speaker 2: twenty two, fourth down and one. Damn Pierre and Parker
- 2:41:31Speaker 2: hand off way sean first down yardage to the twenty
- 2:41:35Speaker 2: and right there they go first down.
- 2:41:37Speaker 4: Now you gotta go three minutes to play in the clock,
- 2:41:40Speaker 4: running stuff will be made, tackle injured, get injured. Who guy,
- 2:41:45Speaker 4: Kansas State.
- 2:41:48Speaker 1: Offensive flair?
- 2:41:49Speaker 2: It is Spencer Fano who's down right now. He's face down,
- 2:41:53Speaker 2: training staff out to take a look at him. Now
- 2:41:56Speaker 2: they're gonna roll him over to his back two fifty
- 2:42:00Speaker 2: seven to play. Utah's all American right tackle is down.
- 2:42:03Speaker 2: They've already lost their all conference defensive end earlier today,
- 2:42:07Speaker 2: John Henry Daily, and they've missed him on the defensive
- 2:42:10Speaker 2: side of the football. Utah's got it first intended the
- 2:42:13Speaker 2: k State twenty down ten with two fifty seven to play.
- 2:42:17Speaker 3: He's getting up now. Might might have like got the
- 2:42:20Speaker 3: wind knocked out of him.
- 2:42:21Speaker 2: Looks like he may have gotten rolled up on on
- 2:42:23Speaker 2: the play too.
- 2:42:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:42:25Speaker 2: Those are the ones you can't see coming when your
- 2:42:27Speaker 2: teammate gets you from behind.
- 2:42:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:42:32Speaker 2: Yeah, Well we hope he's okay. He's walking off mostly
- 2:42:36Speaker 2: under his own power down there.
- 2:42:38Speaker 3: Well he's getting help. Yeah, So, yeah, he's putting probably
- 2:42:44Speaker 3: situation if he you know, he rolls over and bends
- 2:42:48Speaker 3: his knees, that's usually not a knee problem.
- 2:42:51Speaker 4: So Keith Olsen in at right tackle.
- 2:42:54Speaker 3: Now.
- 2:42:56Speaker 2: That secondary to what Utah needs here. They need two
- 2:42:59Speaker 2: scores and they've got it you in the final two
- 2:43:00Speaker 2: fifty seven. Well, have a play called here first and
- 2:43:04Speaker 2: ten for the Kansas State twenty dampit to pass good
- 2:43:08Speaker 2: time outside throwing toward the end zone.
- 2:43:11Speaker 1: God touchdown.
- 2:43:14Speaker 3: Wow.
- 2:43:15Speaker 4: Larry Simmons with an acrobatic move, he beat Donovan McIntosh
- 2:43:22Speaker 4: and it's a Utah touchdown.
- 2:43:24Speaker 3: What a great throw right here. Great job by Larry
- 2:43:27Speaker 3: to keep the defender at day. You know he really
- 2:43:30Speaker 3: it's almost like a boxing out a guy down in
- 2:43:33Speaker 3: the low post and just an excellent throw. I mean
- 2:43:36Speaker 3: it's just right in the perfect location, the awareness to
- 2:43:39Speaker 3: get his feet down in the right situation. But man,
- 2:43:42Speaker 3: that's what he needs. They got to score quick like that.
- 2:43:44Speaker 3: They got plenty of time, they have four timeouts.
- 2:43:46Speaker 2: As inaccurate as Devin has been today, this was a
- 2:43:49Speaker 2: terrific throw. Oh he threw it just where his receiver
- 2:43:53Speaker 2: could get it pat up and good on that Pepsi touchdown,
- 2:43:57Speaker 2: and Utah fans don't go anywhere because there's still a
- 2:44:00Speaker 2: chance here if Utah down three forty seven forty four
- 2:44:04Speaker 2: with two forty seven to play, all three timeouts add
- 2:44:08Speaker 2: the two minute time out as well here at Rice
- 2:44:10Speaker 2: ecl Stadium.
- 2:44:11Speaker 1: But Scott, they've.
- 2:44:12Speaker 2: Got to do something they haven't done much tonight. That's
- 2:44:15Speaker 2: gonna stop on this Kansas State offense.
- 2:44:16Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know Kansas has done so many different
- 2:44:19Speaker 3: things to Utah. You know, I'm sure they're going to
- 2:44:21Speaker 3: try to run the football. But I just I just
- 2:44:25Speaker 3: don't see Kansas State taking the ball out Avery Johnson's hands. Here.
- 2:44:29Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. But boy, if you can ever
- 2:44:31Speaker 3: find a way to come up with a big play,
- 2:44:34Speaker 3: this defense has to do it right here.
- 2:44:36Speaker 2: These two teams have combined for ninety one points here today.
- 2:44:41Speaker 2: Kansas State, missing arguably three or four of their best
- 2:44:44Speaker 2: offensive weapons, have gotten it done. Utah, you've put up
- 2:44:49Speaker 2: forty four points. The issue really hasn't been offense tonight
- 2:44:52Speaker 2: for Utah. It's been being able to get Kansas State
- 2:44:55Speaker 2: off the field.
- 2:44:56Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's been big plays too. It's well, really
- 2:45:00Speaker 3: more in the first half it's been big plays, but
- 2:45:02Speaker 3: in the second half, it's just been not being able
- 2:45:05Speaker 3: to get off the field. I mean, they've just kind
- 2:45:07Speaker 3: of dominated this defense from from the get go, and
- 2:45:10Speaker 3: it's really the guys up front have just done a
- 2:45:12Speaker 3: tremendous job of walking and Utah's just got to come
- 2:45:16Speaker 3: find an answer here, just dig deep and find an answer.
- 2:45:19Speaker 2: That scoring drive twelve play, seventy five yards, took four
- 2:45:23Speaker 2: thirteen on the game block. Now Dylan Curtis hands it
- 2:45:27Speaker 2: ed up into thirty five. He kicks south to north
- 2:45:30Speaker 2: it's high, it's deep, it's endover in case State's not
- 2:45:32Speaker 2: gonna bring this one out. And now it's on the
- 2:45:34Speaker 2: shoulders of the Utah defense who have surrendered five hundred
- 2:45:38Speaker 2: and sixty seven total yards today and of that five
- 2:45:43Speaker 2: sixty seven, five seventy one have come on the ground.
- 2:45:47Speaker 2: Do they have one stop in them here today? If so,
- 2:45:50Speaker 2: it's got to come here first in ten Kansas State
- 2:45:55Speaker 2: and the Utah toweyer their own twenty five yard line.
- 2:45:58Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's it's I'm a disappoint there's a
- 2:46:00Speaker 1: lot of people that have left here.
- 2:46:02Speaker 3: I don't know why. It's still really early and many
- 2:46:05Speaker 3: if you don't, you need your crop right now.
- 2:46:07Speaker 1: In a tough game, Wildcats break the huddle.
- 2:46:13Speaker 2: Avery Johnson Joe Jackson in the backfield. This is a
- 2:46:19Speaker 2: run formation. If Johnson's gonna throw, he's gonna dowrun it.
- 2:46:24Speaker 1: He'll be dropped back in the twenty forty yard line.
- 2:46:29Speaker 4: Logan Fano got him. That's a one yard loss. Will
- 2:46:32Speaker 4: Kyle Winningham take the time out?
- 2:46:33Speaker 1: He does? It's as go.
- 2:46:35Speaker 8: The first charge five out of the half, thirty second
- 2:46:38Speaker 8: time this second day, MS thirty three, it's a.
- 2:46:42Speaker 2: Period I know it really doesn't matter Scott because they
- 2:46:46Speaker 2: forced him to take the time out either way. But
- 2:46:48Speaker 2: are you surprised they didn't try to run that ball?
- 2:46:50Speaker 3: Well? I think they were. I think I think I
- 2:46:52Speaker 3: think it was they were trying to slip the running
- 2:46:54Speaker 3: back out of the backfield and and they thought that
- 2:46:57Speaker 3: the linebackers would suck up on him. But someone had
- 2:47:00Speaker 3: an awareness at the back coming out of the backfield,
- 2:47:02Speaker 3: and then Afriy kind of got stuck right there. And
- 2:47:05Speaker 3: in a bad situation.
- 2:47:08Speaker 4: Can the defense make another play here?
- 2:47:11Speaker 2: Second down at eleven, two timeouts plus a two minute
- 2:47:13Speaker 2: time out remain here for Utah. Utah has had them
- 2:47:18Speaker 2: bottled up at times tonight. Let them get out of it.
- 2:47:21Speaker 2: They can't afford to do it here. It's loud here
- 2:47:28Speaker 2: at rice ecles Jackson and Johnson in the backfield.
- 2:47:33Speaker 4: Utah with a four man down front six near the
- 2:47:35Speaker 4: line of scrivage, pistol formation hand off Jackson. It gets
- 2:47:41Speaker 4: two to the twenty six and ads in a time out,
- 2:47:43Speaker 4: taking Mike Kyle winningham tackle.
- 2:47:45Speaker 1: By Smith's note, the biggest third dance I must.
- 2:47:48Speaker 3: Call this second time on the third second time.
- 2:47:52Speaker 2: The biggest third down of the Utah football season is
- 2:47:55Speaker 2: coming right here.
- 2:47:56Speaker 3: Scott missed and this has been a formation that's been
- 2:47:57Speaker 3: a problem for Utah. Smith's note and though comes up
- 2:48:00Speaker 3: off the edge, corner corner, blitz off the edge and
- 2:48:04Speaker 3: uh get and makes the tackle of all the way.
- 2:48:06Speaker 3: Just an excellent effort right there. And you just feel
- 2:48:09Speaker 3: the energy of this defense has really kind of come
- 2:48:11Speaker 3: back into this game.
- 2:48:13Speaker 2: Third down and nine, Wildcats score of eleven on third
- 2:48:17Speaker 2: down today. I don't think they'll try to rub this ball.
- 2:48:21Speaker 2: I think they'll give Avery Johnson a run pass option,
- 2:48:24Speaker 2: maybe rolling out a little bit the tight end to
- 2:48:27Speaker 2: be huge tonight for this Kansas State team.
- 2:48:30Speaker 3: Yeah, the other thing that's been that QB draw and
- 2:48:33Speaker 3: you see that back go out of the backfield, You've
- 2:48:35Speaker 3: got to anticipate QB draw. But yeah, it's it's gonna
- 2:48:38Speaker 3: be something with Avery Johnson having options to do things.
- 2:48:46Speaker 3: They're gonna spread the field here. They'll keep Jackson in
- 2:48:48Speaker 3: the backfield, three receivers right, tight end to the left,
- 2:48:52Speaker 3: flot Jackson in the backfield. Now they flex that tight
- 2:48:54Speaker 3: end out Avery Johnson in the shotgun. Third down and nine,
- 2:49:00Speaker 3: you'll pass.
- 2:49:01Speaker 2: Utah bringing pressure caught short of first down yardage. A
- 2:49:05Speaker 2: good tackle to the open field by Utah and smith
- 2:49:09Speaker 2: snowdon again.
- 2:49:10Speaker 4: That'll bring up fourth down.
- 2:49:12Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a play that Utah had. That's all.
- 2:49:16Speaker 3: It's called the third and five. That's time out of
- 2:49:17Speaker 3: the half, thirty second.
- 2:49:21Speaker 1: Time for a busy seth to game fourth.
- 2:49:23Speaker 4: And two thirty seven, two thirty seven, So two thirty
- 2:49:27Speaker 4: seven on the game block fourth down and three face
- 2:49:30Speaker 4: the Wildcats. They bring their punt team out. The Utah
- 2:49:33Speaker 4: defense did what it needed to do well. It did
- 2:49:35Speaker 4: what it needed to do, and the offense did what
- 2:49:37Speaker 4: it needed to do as well. And that's preserved those timeouts.
- 2:49:40Speaker 4: Uh can't stay on ball two forty seven. It's only
- 2:49:43Speaker 4: they basically used up ten seconds on that drive. And
- 2:49:47Speaker 4: you're still gonna have that to the two minute timeout
- 2:49:50Speaker 4: as well in the game. So plenty of time right here,
- 2:49:53Speaker 4: young mona car Ball, you know, stands back at his
- 2:49:55Speaker 4: own twenty eighths a Klana had the putter inside of
- 2:49:59Speaker 4: his home twenty.
- 2:50:03Speaker 2: No pressure on the kicker. It's a good one. It's
- 2:50:05Speaker 2: a high spiraling kick, driving car volume back. He takes
- 2:50:08Speaker 2: it into twenty one up the field. He goes on
- 2:50:11Speaker 2: a car volume and he'll be tackling it about the
- 2:50:13Speaker 2: thirty yard line. That's where they give it to him. Boy,
- 2:50:16Speaker 2: if he kept breaking to this near sideline, he had
- 2:50:18Speaker 2: a channel. When Utah's got a seventy yard field and
- 2:50:22Speaker 2: to twenty five of the game clock, they probably need
- 2:50:25Speaker 2: we'll call it about forty five yards to be in
- 2:50:28Speaker 2: Dylan Curtis's field goal range and feel comfortable about it.
- 2:50:32Speaker 2: But took two minute warning, two minute time out, and
- 2:50:35Speaker 2: to twenty five is a lot of times gott.
- 2:50:37Speaker 3: Yeah, the way this defense plays with that quarters that's
- 2:50:40Speaker 3: basically four guys deep. There are holes in this defense
- 2:50:44Speaker 3: and you just have to be patient and you'll find
- 2:50:46Speaker 3: some good holes.
- 2:50:48Speaker 1: Damn.
- 2:50:48Speaker 2: Here in the quarterback way, Sean Parker the tailback, four
- 2:50:51Speaker 2: wide receivers. On first and ten, Devin's gonna pass over
- 2:50:54Speaker 2: the middle. He's got a man open Larry.
- 2:50:56Speaker 1: Simmons, and he fumbled the football.
- 2:50:58Speaker 2: Simmons fumbled it or did they call it incomplete? They
- 2:51:01Speaker 2: call it incomplete.
- 2:51:02Speaker 1: Thrown on the field is an incomplete pass?
- 2:51:05Speaker 3: Second time?
- 2:51:07Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, he had a twenty yard game or
- 2:51:11Speaker 2: fifteen yard game and then the ball came out.
- 2:51:15Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't want to really review that very much,
- 2:51:17Speaker 3: so just get onto the next play. But again, like
- 2:51:20Speaker 3: I said, they're holes in this defense. If you have time,
- 2:51:23Speaker 3: which Devin does. Stap back to Dan Pierre looking to
- 2:51:26Speaker 3: throw to the outside. Caught on the outside that abounds
- 2:51:29Speaker 3: at about the thirty six yard line.
- 2:51:31Speaker 2: That's Crean Phinemore. I have not seen Ryan Davis since
- 2:51:34Speaker 2: the first half. I'm guessing an injury to Davis. We
- 2:51:37Speaker 2: haven't gotten any report on it. Third down at about
- 2:51:39Speaker 2: four coming here for Utah speed option to the outside
- 2:51:44Speaker 2: way Sean Parker. He's got ohis stripped up a yard
- 2:51:47Speaker 2: shore and that will take us to the two minute
- 2:51:50Speaker 2: time out. Utah is gonna have a fourth and one
- 2:51:51Speaker 2: at their own thirty nine yard line. Wayshot had running room,
- 2:51:54Speaker 2: but he was down a yard. Shy and rich the
- 2:51:57Speaker 2: two minute Tanta State is down at the thirty nine
- 2:51:59Speaker 2: yard line. This was a great call and Wasayshawn just
- 2:52:04Speaker 2: all just got tripped up a touch at the thirty
- 2:52:07Speaker 2: nine time out of the field will come back with
- 2:52:10Speaker 2: the final two minutes of football.
- 2:52:11Speaker 4: Can Utah make a comeback and win it?
- 2:52:14Speaker 2: Here tonight they're down forty seven forty four and this
- 2:52:17Speaker 2: is Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred to US.
- 2:52:19Speaker 7: To Football brought to you by America First Credit Union
- 2:52:22Speaker 7: on ESPN seven hundred and the UG Sports Network.
- 2:52:26Speaker 4: Biggest play of the Utah football season, he's upon us
- 2:52:29Speaker 4: fourth and one from their own thirty nine down forty seven,
- 2:52:33Speaker 4: forty four. No timeouts remained for Utah were at the
- 2:52:36Speaker 4: two minute time out, they must convert otherwise all of their.
- 2:52:40Speaker 2: Postseason aspirations go up and smoke. Here on a Saturday
- 2:52:44Speaker 2: night in Salt Lake City. What's the call here on
- 2:52:46Speaker 2: fourth and short?
- 2:52:47Speaker 3: Scott, Well, you know, I think Wayshaun Parker is the
- 2:52:50Speaker 3: guy you got to you gotta run it with. You
- 2:52:52Speaker 3: know that speed option has worked, but and it's always
- 2:52:55Speaker 3: to the right. Maybe maybe you run it to the
- 2:52:57Speaker 3: I don't know, but you know back draws or counter
- 2:53:01Speaker 3: is another good play, something that you you have to
- 2:53:04Speaker 3: have a high probability of this play working. Uh, And
- 2:53:08Speaker 3: it drives you nuts as a coordinator because you know,
- 2:53:11Speaker 3: just being that short, it's just it wastes so much
- 2:53:14Speaker 3: time right now because you you got to get the
- 2:53:16Speaker 3: first down, end of discussion, and then you got to
- 2:53:18Speaker 3: really hurry and move on from there.
- 2:53:21Speaker 4: Way Sean Parker is the back in Utah in the hubbles,
- 2:53:24Speaker 4: don't go wildlife. Damp Here in the backfield way shan
- 2:53:31Speaker 4: in the left slot. They bring him in motion. Now
- 2:53:34Speaker 4: Devon's gonna keep it himself. He's in the open deal
- 2:53:36Speaker 4: fifty forty five, forty thirty five thirty twenty fifty ten.
- 2:53:42Speaker 4: Bat that in the Kansas State four yard line.
- 2:53:46Speaker 1: Devin damp Here play him a role of hero. Burst
- 2:53:50Speaker 1: it goal you don't.
- 2:53:53Speaker 3: Well, and he did a nice job of, uh, you know,
- 2:53:58Speaker 3: preserving time you gotta I'm joking right here, but now
- 2:54:02Speaker 3: it's kind of a question of you know, I don't
- 2:54:05Speaker 3: know that you really want to score here quickly if
- 2:54:07Speaker 3: you can do that.
- 2:54:08Speaker 2: First in goal Utah at the Kansas State four, damp
- 2:54:11Speaker 2: Pier hands straight ahead Parker. He keeps his feet moving,
- 2:54:16Speaker 2: but he's driven backwards at about the six yard line,
- 2:54:19Speaker 2: and the clock will now continue to run.
- 2:54:21Speaker 4: With ninety seconds to play, Kansas State has one time out.
- 2:54:23Speaker 1: They don't take it yet.
- 2:54:25Speaker 4: No, and it's not the worst thing in the world
- 2:54:26Speaker 4: right here as long as you get into the edjoy.
- 2:54:29Speaker 4: But if you can score a touchdown here, it is
- 2:54:31Speaker 4: massively huge. I mean, I know that's obvious. You don't
- 2:54:33Speaker 4: want to go into overtime. Go ahead, win the game.
- 2:54:37Speaker 2: Come on damp here by himself and the gun on
- 2:54:40Speaker 2: second and goal for the five brings a man in motion.
- 2:54:43Speaker 2: Devin's gonna keep it himself. Devin five four three two
- 2:54:47Speaker 2: one is here? Oh no, he's down at the half
- 2:54:50Speaker 2: yard line. Will Kansas State take their time out? Chris
- 2:54:54Speaker 2: Climbent's trying to signal it right now. He's still trying
- 2:54:56Speaker 2: to signal it. And now he finally gets it with
- 2:54:59Speaker 2: fifty four second.
- 2:55:00Speaker 1: It's again.
- 2:55:03Speaker 2: Him not getting it at the half yard line is
- 2:55:05Speaker 2: not the worst thing. No, You've got two cracks to
- 2:55:08Speaker 2: get it in if you want to here and go
- 2:55:10Speaker 2: for the win. If you're Kyle winning, I.
- 2:55:11Speaker 3: Don't know that Devin didn't score right there, Kansas State.
- 2:55:14Speaker 1: It's called the third and final time out of the half.
- 2:55:16Speaker 3: Thirty seconds, so.
- 2:55:19Speaker 1: Tenthy fours at the game talked to.
- 2:55:21Speaker 3: Fifty six seconds.
- 2:55:22Speaker 1: Fifty six seconds.
- 2:55:24Speaker 2: That's our referee, Big twelve crew, Steven Barron. So it's
- 2:55:29Speaker 2: third and the length of a football to go for Utah?
- 2:55:33Speaker 2: What are they forty seven forty four with fifty six
- 2:55:36Speaker 2: seconds to play? What do the analytics say here, if
- 2:55:38Speaker 2: you don't score, that's a guts he called. He's done
- 2:55:42Speaker 2: it before, he's gone for fourth down. He may do
- 2:55:44Speaker 2: it to win the ball game. I can't imagine he
- 2:55:46Speaker 2: kicked the field goal, Scott, I just can't. Yeah, I
- 2:55:49Speaker 2: think he's gonna take two cracks at it right here.
- 2:55:51Speaker 4: You know what I love right here that jumbo sit
- 2:55:54Speaker 4: when they use the offensive lineman at defensive tackles.
- 2:55:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure they're gonna load up the box right
- 2:56:00Speaker 1: here and go.
- 2:56:02Speaker 4: I'm a little surprised they didn't take a look at this.
- 2:56:05Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
- 2:56:06Speaker 4: He was really close to break and to play on
- 2:56:08Speaker 4: the goal line.
- 2:56:09Speaker 3: And maybe they are during the break. I don't know.
- 2:56:12Speaker 1: Well, I guess they need the official to do that
- 2:56:14Speaker 1: for yep, boy, that's super close. So here we go.
- 2:56:18Speaker 4: Kansas State uses its final time out, third and goal
- 2:56:23Speaker 4: from the half yard line. Athek for the football is
- 2:56:26Speaker 4: all Utah Ees.
- 2:56:30Speaker 2: Devin damp Pierre Way, Sean Parker, JJ Bucannon split left,
- 2:56:37Speaker 2: Larry Simmons split rights, Devin by himself in the backfield.
- 2:56:43Speaker 2: Damp Pierre brings Parker in motion. Devin keeps it into
- 2:56:47Speaker 2: the end zone.
- 2:56:47Speaker 4: Touchdown, touch down Devin damp Haar and Utah leads it.
- 2:56:52Speaker 4: With fifty four seconds to play, Utah it front fifty
- 2:56:57Speaker 4: to forty seven.
- 2:57:00Speaker 3: This extra point becomes massively important here because it puts
- 2:57:03Speaker 3: you up by four. It causes Kansas State tax to
- 2:57:06Speaker 3: go and score a touchdown here they can't kick a
- 2:57:09Speaker 3: field goal, so big, big play right here.
- 2:57:13Speaker 8: Timer Prazer sent the game rock the fifty four seconds
- 2:57:16Speaker 8: prot at four Damn pier now with two touchdowns, two
- 2:57:20Speaker 8: Pepsi touchdowns Tonight's and ninety four yards rushing.
- 2:57:25Speaker 2: This is the biggest pat of Dylan Curtis's career right
- 2:57:28Speaker 2: here to put Utah up by four instead of three.
- 2:57:33Speaker 2: Ryan Phillips will hold, good, Staff good hold. The kick
- 2:57:39Speaker 2: is up and good, and with fifty four seconds to play,
- 2:57:43Speaker 2: the uts have come all the way back to lead
- 2:57:46Speaker 2: it fifty one seven. This is the wildest, craziest, blackiest
- 2:57:51Speaker 2: game I've called it Rice Ecles Stadium in a long time.
- 2:57:54Speaker 3: Scott Mitchell boy, and that is understated right there. And
- 2:57:57Speaker 3: you know, Devin has really had a tough day some regards,
- 2:58:00Speaker 3: and this whole team has had a tough day, but
- 2:58:03Speaker 3: you know this is their guy. This is their leader,
- 2:58:05Speaker 3: and they stuck with him and he answered big, you know,
- 2:58:08Speaker 3: getting the score, getting the big, the big run before
- 2:58:11Speaker 3: the score. But boy, what it what a game to watch.
- 2:58:15Speaker 4: Credible, unbelievable.
- 2:58:18Speaker 2: Utah with five hundred and fifty three total yards, Kansas
- 2:58:22Speaker 2: State with five hundred and seventy or total yards, and
- 2:58:26Speaker 2: they've still got the ball one more time.
- 2:58:28Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're all going to be exhausted after
- 2:58:30Speaker 3: this one. You know, you talk about the big twelve man,
- 2:58:33Speaker 3: you know, Like I said, it's just I appreciate the
- 2:58:35Speaker 3: competitiveness of this conference and these schools, and it just
- 2:58:39Speaker 3: speaks need more more respect than we get across the country.
- 2:58:45Speaker 2: Utah has averaged fifty one a game over the last
- 2:58:48Speaker 2: three games.
- 2:58:49Speaker 3: They've got fifty one tonight. Yeah, insane, You know, this
- 2:58:52Speaker 3: is one of those. I know, he probably tried to
- 2:58:55Speaker 3: kick it out of the end zone, but kind of
- 2:58:57Speaker 3: kicking it squirrelly might not hurt.
- 2:59:00Speaker 2: Here's Dylan Curtis with the ball teed up, end over end,
- 2:59:05Speaker 2: not gonna be returned.
- 2:59:06Speaker 1: It'll be a.
- 2:59:07Speaker 2: Seventy five yard field for Avery Johnson in the Kansas
- 2:59:10Speaker 2: State Wildcats.
- 2:59:11Speaker 4: They must score a touchdown now.
- 2:59:14Speaker 1: Time huns.
- 2:59:16Speaker 3: So important to keep everything in front of you and
- 2:59:19Speaker 3: keep it in bounds.
- 2:59:21Speaker 2: They have touchdown runs of eighty sixty six, forty more
- 2:59:27Speaker 2: sixty eight.
- 2:59:29Speaker 1: Can they get another one? Here? Will the Utah defense
- 2:59:31Speaker 1: step up?
- 2:59:32Speaker 2: It is low here at Bicycle Stadium, Avery Johnson out
- 2:59:39Speaker 2: of the shotgun.
- 2:59:40Speaker 3: UCA's gonna rush four.
- 2:59:42Speaker 4: Johnson backpedals, poor man rush not getting home down the field,
- 2:59:46Speaker 4: nearly intercepted. Try to get that ball to Tips and
- 2:59:50Speaker 4: Jackson Benny who had a.
