• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Out and play aggressive though you're not worried about trying
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: to get in range be measured for a field goal.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: You get to take the restrictor play it off the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: red dragon and give it a little.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Bit more juice if there was a silver lining to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: surrendering that touchdown.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: They let it in on second down.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Without spending their final time out, so they preserved a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: minute forty five to go chase the lead, and they
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: still have that time.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Out in their pockets.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: One veteran quarterback stepped up on big downs.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Throwing the ball in the red zone with his team's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: game on the line.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Another big time veteran quarterback takes over at the two
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: minute drill to try and go back and win it. All.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: The noise at.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: David Boo Kansas Laural Stadium, kicking in Sarsby silences them
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for now takes the easy access throw to Cyrus Allen
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for six maybe seven.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: See if Kansas gets aggressive at any point in this drive,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: are they willing to give up those dink and dunk
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: passes down the field knowing they've got the twenty and
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: in where they really have.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Stepped up all day long.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Starsby handles that off frame snap of age the first
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: wave and chucks it into the Kansas pinch. And we'll
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: point out again here that Joe Royer has not returned
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to the game since converting a massive third down with
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a yard catch.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: He was shaken up, and you feel his absence, no doubt.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: You always hear the phrase that tight ends the security blanket.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: He said, he's my security blanket in life. He's my
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: downstairs neighbor. Anytime I need a hug, I can go
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: down and.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Checking the big guy.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: And now in a pivotal moment, you're right Nowhere to
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: be found is Kansas going out here and playing man coverage.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Putting three deep flankies back and trying to.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Get some pressure on Solsbury. Two downs to get four
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: yards if necessary. They hit the outs and Cyrus has
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: them enough for a first down as they pick up
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on third, one thirty in a time out remaining, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you see Gavin Grover that replaced it tight.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: End once again, Cyrus just finding a man to man
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: coverage the receiver that's been his security blanket all day.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Eleven catches for one hundred and twenty eight yards and
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: two scores. Cyrus Allen looking every bit the number one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Receiver in this offense.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: With that completion, sores being now twenty six of thirty
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: eight for a three.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Point forty two passing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Feeling the heats, it's collected on the sideline, but out
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of bounds for a moment. Jalen Todd gave the home
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: crowd reason to celebrate.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: This Kansas pass rush getting an opportunity to pin their
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: ears back. We've seen some twists, some stunts up front,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and they're finding seams against the Cincinnati offensive line making
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: life difficult for Soresby in the pocket, who was unbothered
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: so much of the game.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So as he leaves the pocket out at the numbers,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: got a man Isaiah Johnson pulled down by Lyric Roles,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and there's a late flag down.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: At the thirty right where they collided. For now it's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: a thirty five yard game.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: They're gonna await the penalty and the hat off again.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: You wonder if the receiver who ended up catching that
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: ball was out of bounds like we saw earlier in
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: This Kansas defense thinks this ball is moving back leer
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: zoe off this the US run out of rounds orders
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: going on to clear.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Back the Loans and then.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: The first to touch to call the pan.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And earlier it was Bryson Canty. It was against Kansas.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Where you see, all right, So the number two receiver
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: at the bottom right here, again the quarterback scramble, So
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: now you're getting ready to turn up field. And once
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: again now the question there and that was right on
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the edge of did the defender get hands on him
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: and force him out of the sideline. The referee disagrees,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: and it looks like his foot had already been out
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of bounds when he was contacted by the defender. So again,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: if you go out on your own, you can't be
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the first receiver to come back, even if you re
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: establish yourself in bounds.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And catch the book.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Time out Kansas for a minute, eleven seconds to go.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: There still plenty of time. A quarterback that you just
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: saw made big plays.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: But you've got to be aware right now in the
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: middle of this defense, Dean Miller, number five, that's a
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: pass rushing body. They've been creating levels by adding a
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: fourth rusher a little bit delayed, and this offensive line's
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: had a tough time picking out these stunts.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Half at the time, now Kansas had twelve on the fields.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Soars b hit as he deals that balls up in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the air. It's tax and this game was almost over.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Boy JB.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You wonder how much in those spots you miss Brenton,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: you miss Joe Royer, who made a catch similar to
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that in a similar situation early in the game that
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: just off the outstep fingers. Usually when you get that
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: tip pall, you gotta have the pick in the secondary.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Fourth down on the way for Cincinnati. Lathan enrolls with
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: a near miss.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Must have fourth down here for Brendan, Soorsby steps up
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: into trouble, a one handed step to keep the game alive.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Noah Jennings into Jayhawk's territory with seventeen.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: This Bearcats offense won't blame play called back for penalty,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: fourth and game on the line, and Sorsby steps up
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: in the pocket. His receiver makes a great play, everyone
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: selling out mashing down turbo on the controller.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: What an incredible effort.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Still a time out to utilize when necessary. Just under
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a minute to go, four man rush, Soorsby hit again,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Deally Meddle the fielding caught by Goodie standing tall in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the pocket and wearing it for a new first down
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: at the twenty six.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: All these twists and stunts getting home getting hits, but
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter when your quarterbacks this steely on sets
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: the laces again, looking for the out for yardage and
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: to stop the clock below.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: The twenty gets eight on first down with Grover.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Steal the time out in their pocket again. Kansas up four,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: so you don't have to worry about playing for a
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: field goal. And here's a shot again of the big
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: play here coming right.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Through the middle. He just continues to stand in the pocket.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Deal everyone in all kinds of games at the right
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: side of that since the offensive line, aren't.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: They Yes, they're trying to put Taran TiO in a
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: blender at right guard, and it's led to some easy pressures.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: It's part of what's flushed route Starsby out of the pocket.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: They'll run it here, how.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Wee loooker to the five and to the two, the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and short situation, allowing Cincinnati to run it. They get
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a stop lock with thirty seven seconds to go, a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: rush of seventeen yards. Walker stays in Sorsby calls for
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the snap just as Kansas spends.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: A time out. Thing they're hunting up here is the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: go ahead score.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Normally you'd be worried about Soorsby being the keeper. He's
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: up under center right now with the Hirsky in the
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: full back spot. Let's see if there's some movement pre
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: snap that gives too a chance to impact.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: This with his legs.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Brandon Sarsby steps under center, opens up and gives Walker
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: untouched for the go ahead touchdown. Let's go it lands
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: with twenty nine seconds and Kansas holding.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: One time out, and boy does that woman.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Missed interception out the tip ball loom large right now
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: have a chance to end the case, and you've got
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: to take it because Brendan Soresby in this Cincinnati offense,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: we're ready with big plays and a stun crowd here.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: In this home stadium.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: An essential extra point try here from Steven Russnet and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: his unit and the left.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: He got it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So down a field goal twenty nine seconds and a timeout.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Kansas still has a look after a ten place seventy
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: five yard touchdown drop, you're gonna.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: See big number fifty pulling left to right, Evan Tangisdahl
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: just clearing out space.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: But the job by fifty six.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: DeAndre Buford has had a couple of holding calls go
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: against him today. A great job getting to the second
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: level and clearing some space against Trey Lathan.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: That whole group didn't blink.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Brendan Soaresby, who was a quarterback I thought highly up
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: coming into the season coming into this game, didn't start
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: as well as he wanted to pass in the football
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: against Nebraska at the beginning of the season. The Big
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: twelve as advertised this season.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Can they keep it away from Emmanuel Henderson on a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: high He takes it at the sideline, does his best
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to get yardage and save time. He asked the Kansas
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: staff how far they would need to get for a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: late game field goal opportunity. Ideally they want to be
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: tucked inside the thirty five yard line, but they would
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: stretch it out to thirty six thirty seven in a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: situation like this.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: So that's the line. To keep an eye on.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Daniels shooting four steps up to dogs the heats. This
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is huge here since he drags him down below the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: thirty with nineteen seconds to go that Jayhawks have to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: burn their last tournament getting two their first down game. Yeah,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: all three D linemen on that right side making sure
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: he can't roll to.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: That strong arm deed drop.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Daniels does get out the right side, tracked down by
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: gold Day and sends it into the Sincy sideline.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: It'll be third down and six with eleven seconds to go.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Jayhawks desperately striving for a late field goal try incomplete
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: at midfield. It's fourth down and only six seconds remain
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: out on fourth and six.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: To underneath and actually a decent amount of guys near
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: You're still probably gonna end up rushing two or three,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: dropping players out, but they want to get this offensive line.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Up to think about. Jalen Daniels finds the completion. This
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: is just the.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Starts Quebecca out to pickets. Now it's on the deck,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: scooped up by alignment, and it ends there as Cincinnati
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: silence is Lawrence with a road win.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: JB.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: There is no sweeter sound as the opposing team than
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the stun silence of the road stadium
