Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Kansas has it teed up. They kick it high and
- 0:03Speaker 1: end over end. And that one's going to reach the
- 0:05Speaker 1: back of the end zone and out it goes with
- 0:06Speaker 1: a nice breeze out of the south. Utah will begin
- 0:10Speaker 1: first and ten at their own 25-yard line. And Devin
- 0:13Speaker 1: Dampier leads that defense, the offense, out for the first
- 0:15Speaker 1: time from his own 25-yard line. Dampier joined by the reigning, well,
- 0:20Speaker 1: last week's Big 12 Player of the Week on the
- 0:22Speaker 1: offensive side of the football, Wayshon Parker. Two receivers to
- 0:25Speaker 1: the right-hand side, two tight ends. Now they bring Braden
- 0:28Speaker 1: Pagan in motion across the formation. Devin Dampier will play
- 0:32Speaker 1: action and roll to his right. Looking down the field.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Throwing down the field. Caught down the field by Pagan.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Right at the first down sticks near the 35-yard line.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Coverage was out there by Jalen Todd. But Braden Pagan
- 0:43Speaker 1: came up with that catch. They'll give him nine and
- 0:45Speaker 1: a half on first down. It'll be second down and
- 0:47Speaker 1: short here for the Utes. Wayshon Parker stays to the
- 0:50Speaker 1: ball game in the backfield. On second down and one.
- 0:53Speaker 1: He had 174 yards against Iowa State. Takes this first
- 0:56Speaker 1: hand off to the second level.
- 0:57Speaker 2: 45-50.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Into the Kansas 49-yard line he goes. That's a gain
- 1:02Speaker 1: of 16. Trey Lathan made the tackle along with Jalen Todd.
- 1:06Speaker 1: And two plays in Utah's and Kansas territory. First down
- 1:09Speaker 1: and 10. That's an Ivory Holmes first down. Offensive series
- 1:14Speaker 1: brought to you by Bud Light. Easy to drink and
- 1:16Speaker 1: easy to enjoy. The Rhino Backs come in the ballgame
- 1:18Speaker 1: now for Utah as they load the backfield up. Way
- 1:21Speaker 1: Sean Parker, Braden Pig in the wide receiver. Two Rhino Backs.
- 1:25Speaker 1: And Devin Dampier on first and 10 from the Kansas
- 1:28Speaker 1: 49-yard line. Parker stands, and now Wayshon Parker will be
- 1:33Speaker 1: the wildcat back. He's going to keep it along that
- 1:35Speaker 1: right-hand side, try to get to the outside. He's got
- 1:37Speaker 1: yardage to the 45 and very close to the 44-yard line.
- 1:41Speaker 1: It was the same play they ran for a touchdown
- 1:43Speaker 1: against Iowa State, except to the opposite side. Trey Latham,
- 1:45Speaker 1: the linebacker, makes the tackle. That'll be a five-yard gain,
- 1:49Speaker 1: second down and five. Opening series of the ballgame here
- 1:51Speaker 1: at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Dampier employs now five wide receivers in
- 1:58Speaker 1: the pattern. Make it four receivers and a tight end
- 2:01Speaker 1: on the right-hand side. Devin stands by himself with a shotgun.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Four down linemen here for the Kansas Jayhawks. Now Daniel
- 2:09Speaker 1: Bray comes in motion. Play action look. Firing to the outside.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Caught on the outside. Larry Simmons. Make it Ricky Johnson.
- 2:15Speaker 1: And he'll have first down yardage. Just beyond the sticks
- 2:19Speaker 1: to about the Kansas 38-yard line. That's another Ivory Holmes
- 2:22Speaker 1: first down.
- 2:24Speaker 3: It's a great job by Devin Dampier at understanding what's open.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Pre-snap reads is everything for a quarterback, and he's doing
- 2:30Speaker 3: a great job of understanding what he's looking at before
- 2:33Speaker 3: the ball snap.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Three receivers on the right-hand side from the Kansas 38-yard line.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Good start so far here for the Utes. It's Parker.
- 2:41Speaker 1: It's Dampier in the backfield for Utah. Now they're going
- 2:45Speaker 1: to fake the reverse. That's Bird Ficklin now staying on
- 2:50Speaker 1: his feet to the 30 in the 29-yard line. That's
- 2:54Speaker 1: a gain of almost nine yards on first down. I
- 2:56Speaker 1: saw Bert Ficklin's family in the tailgate area before the game.
- 2:59Speaker 1: In from Muskegee, Oklahoma. A nice gain on first down
- 3:02Speaker 1: for Ficklin of nine yards.
- 3:04Speaker 3: And that's why the carrying out that fake is so important.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Devin Dampier comes back into orbit motion to carry out
- 3:08Speaker 3: that fake. It holds the defense on the back end.
- 3:11Speaker 3: That allows this cutback lane to be so open for
- 3:13Speaker 3: Bert Ficklin.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Second down and one. The playbook wide open here for
- 3:16Speaker 1: Kevin McGivin. Parker and Dampier in the backfield. Three receivers.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Ricky Johnson comes in motion across the formation. Kansas a
- 3:23Speaker 1: little confused right now. It's a play-action look for Devin Dampier. Looking, looking, looking.
- 3:28Speaker 1: He's going to run with it. 25 and slides. That
- 3:31Speaker 1: at about the 24-yard line. That'll be a gain of five.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Nothing was open down the field. That's an easy five
- 3:36Speaker 1: yards for Devin Dampier.
- 3:37Speaker 3: It's funny because Ricky Johnson kind of stopped on the
- 3:39Speaker 3: wheel route right there. Devin was looking for him to
- 3:41Speaker 3: go past the defender right there because it was wide
- 3:43Speaker 3: open spaces. But he stopped when he got right to
- 3:46Speaker 3: the defender. If he goes past that, Devin's throwing that
- 3:48Speaker 3: for a touchdown.
- 3:50Speaker 1: So first and ten. Their third first down on this drive.
- 3:52Speaker 1: The Ivory Homes first down for Utah. They've got four
- 3:55Speaker 1: wide receivers stacked to the right-hand side and an empty backfield.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Nobody there. Devin Dampier flexed out. Now he and Bird
- 4:02Speaker 1: Ficklin will come back into the backfield on first down
- 4:04Speaker 1: and 10. The play clock ticking down to five here
- 4:06Speaker 1: for Utah. Devin's going to keep it out to the outside.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Devin fakes it, keeps it inside the 15 and down
- 4:14Speaker 1: to the 14. That's going to be a gain of
- 4:15Speaker 1: almost 10 yards. They're going to give him another first down.
- 4:17Speaker 1: 10-yard gain. Alex Bray made the tackle so hard to defend.
- 4:21Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh. Two quarterbacks in the backfield. One, you
- 4:23Speaker 4: start empty. They shift back.
- 4:25Speaker 3: You only have a few seconds to assess what the
- 4:27Speaker 3: formation is. It's two quarterbacks. Then they run speed option.
- 4:31Speaker 3: He doesn't pitch it. Oh, shoot, he can pitch it later.
- 4:34Speaker 3: It's so many things to think about on the defense.
- 4:35Speaker 3: That's what allows that play to be so big.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Into the Canyonview Credit Union red zone for the first
- 4:39Speaker 1: time tonight. Utah, two backs in the backfield with Devin Dampier.
- 4:42Speaker 1: That's Daniel Bray and Wayshawn Parker from the Kansas 14-yard line.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Dampier hands to Parker. Running room straight up the middle.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Turns and wiggles and waggles down inside the 10 to
- 4:53Speaker 1: about the 8-yard line for a gain of six. Quincy Davis,
- 4:56Speaker 1: the linebacker, made the tackle. That was making something out
- 4:59Speaker 1: of nothing right there for Wayshon Parker.
- 5:01Speaker 4: That's just patience in the running game.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Finding your blocks, but keeping your legs moving at the
- 5:05Speaker 3: end of the day and following forward, which is what
- 5:07Speaker 3: every great running back does, right? As soon as you
- 5:09Speaker 3: hit the pile or get contact, what ways can I
- 5:12Speaker 3: get those extra two to three yards? Wayshon Parker is
- 5:15Speaker 3: definitely one of the best in the country at doing that.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Second down and four from the Kansas eight-yard line. Dampier
- 5:21Speaker 1: and Bray in the backfield. Two tight ends, two wide
- 5:24Speaker 1: receivers split wide to the left-hand side. Devin surveys the defense,
- 5:28Speaker 1: takes the snap, pitches outside Daniel Bray, cuts back to
- 5:31Speaker 1: the inside and gets down to about the five-yard line.
- 5:34Speaker 1: He wanted to break that to the outside, but they
- 5:36Speaker 1: had it covered pretty well with Roman Pearson, so he
- 5:38Speaker 1: cut it back inside, picked up three. It'll be third
- 5:40Speaker 1: down and one.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Great job by the defense at coming to balance, right,
- 5:43Speaker 3: and taking away one side. He split the shoulder and
- 5:46Speaker 3: made Daniel Bray only be able to go to the inside,
- 5:48Speaker 3: which makes it easier for the defense to guess which
- 5:50Speaker 3: way you're going. But at the end of the day,
- 5:52Speaker 3: as far as technique, that's exactly what you want to
- 5:54Speaker 3: do on defense. Come to balance, take away one side,
- 5:57Speaker 3: and shoot the hip.
- 5:58Speaker 1: First third down of the afternoon for Utah. It's third
- 6:00Speaker 1: down and one from the Kansas 5. They empty the backfield.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Only Way Sean Parker there. Kansas shifting around up front.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Parker's going to keep it himself. He's going to walk
- 6:08Speaker 1: his way into the end zone. And that's a Utah touchdown.
- 6:11Speaker 1: That's the 10th touchdown of the year for Way Sean Parker.
- 6:14Speaker 1: And Utah strikes first on this Saturday. And they made
- 6:18Speaker 1: it look easy, Sly.
- 6:19Speaker 3: When we talk about starting fast... That's what we thought.
- 6:24Speaker 3: All positives on that drive. The tempo, the offensive yardage, the.
- 6:28Speaker 4: Usage of players.
- 6:29Speaker 3: How many players were involved on that drive? How many
- 6:32Speaker 3: players got looks on that drive, right? There's so many
- 6:35Speaker 3: rushing yards, and it's awesome. And again, that is the
- 6:39Speaker 3: dynamic ability of this offense.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Anybody in the country will struggle defending it.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Sixth rushing touchdown of the year, a Pepsi touchdown for
- 6:47Speaker 1: Wayshon Parker. Dylan Curtis on to attempt the PAT out
- 6:51Speaker 1: of the hold of Orion Phillips. The kick is up,
- 6:53Speaker 1: and the kick is good. With 9.21 to play, a
- 6:56Speaker 1: statement on the opening drive by Utah. 10 plays, 75 yards, 5.39
- 7:01Speaker 1: off the game clock. It's Utah 7 and Kansas nothing
- 7:04Speaker 1: for the Big O' Tires broadcast booth here in Salt
- 7:07Speaker 1: Lake City. Timeout on the field. A timeout brought to
- 7:10Speaker 1: you by Bamboo HR. And this is Utah football from
- 7:13Speaker 1: ESPN 700, the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 7:16Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
- 7:19Speaker 5: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 7:25Speaker 1: 921 to play first quarter. Utah opens with a 75-yard
- 7:29Speaker 1: scoring drive. Our first half being brought to you by

- 7:38Speaker 1: them online at canyonviewcu.com. Bryson Hayes back deep to receive
- 7:41Speaker 1: the Dylan Curtis kick. Dylan's got a little bit of
- 7:43Speaker 1: a breeze in his face. Winds died down just a
- 7:45Speaker 1: little bit. expecting rain later, but nothing right now. As
- 7:49Speaker 1: Curtis approaches, Hayes waits at his own goal line, high
- 7:52Speaker 1: and end over, and returnable if he wants to, and
- 7:55Speaker 1: he will not. It hits four yards deep, and that'll
- 7:57Speaker 1: be a touchback for Dylan Curtis. And for the first
- 8:00Speaker 1: time tonight, we're going to see Isaiah Marshall in this
- 8:02Speaker 1: Kansas offense, as they'll have it first and ten at
- 8:05Speaker 1: their own 25-yard line. Isaiah Marshall, a sophomore out of
- 8:08Speaker 1: Detroit Rock City, and a dual-thread quarterback, too, Slack.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Yeah, he is, man. He's dynamic. But the way this
- 8:15Speaker 3: defense is playing, they shouldn't be shook or rattled by anything,
- 8:18Speaker 3: especially coming into a game. These guys have been playing
- 8:21Speaker 3: fast and physical. That's exactly what it's going to take
- 8:24Speaker 3: to knock these guys out. Hopefully a quick three and
- 8:25Speaker 3: out here.
- 8:26Speaker 1: A talented running back, too, in Dylan Edwards. He'll start
- 8:29Speaker 1: right there in the shotgun. Five yards deep with Isaiah Marshall.
- 8:33Speaker 1: First and ten from their own 25-yard line. Marshall's going
- 8:36Speaker 1: to change the play now. Four down lineman for Utah.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Now they're going to run the speed option to the outside.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Dylan Edwards, and he is going to be stopped behind
- 8:45Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Outstanding work down below by Ethan Day.
- 8:49Speaker 1: The defensive end stayed right home and threw him to
- 8:52Speaker 1: the ground for a loss.
- 8:53Speaker 4: Yeah, defensive end and the nickel here.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Jackson Vinny does a great job of pulling Dylan Edwards
- 8:58Speaker 3: up and allowing him not to get wide enough and
- 9:00Speaker 3: allowing the defensive end, Ethan Day, to get back into
- 9:03Speaker 3: the play.
- 9:03Speaker 4: And stop that for a loss.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Defense on the field. Brought to you by our friends
- 9:06Speaker 1: at doTERRA. Second down and 11 for Kansas. Clock running
- 9:10Speaker 1: at 8.50 to play here in the first half. First quarter.
- 9:13Speaker 1: And Edwards stays in the ball game. Marshall to pass.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Fires to the outside. He's got a man out there
- 9:17Speaker 1: complete beyond the 30. To about the 33-yard line goes
- 9:21Speaker 1: Nick McMillan. He had a good game last week. He's
- 9:23Speaker 1: had a good year. He's their leading wide receiver. It'll
- 9:25Speaker 1: be third down and short here for the Jayhawks. Third
- 9:27Speaker 1: down and two.
- 9:28Speaker 4: A big third down here. Got to get the must.
- 9:30Speaker 4: The north end zone into the mix here. Knocked in.
- 9:32Speaker 4: Knock them out, make sure that they are good.
- 9:34Speaker 3: But that was just quick operations there by Kansas at
- 9:37Speaker 3: getting in there and being able to understand that the
- 9:39Speaker 3: flat defender didn't get out there fast enough. And Marshall,
- 9:42Speaker 3: as we said, he throws a good ball. How consistent
- 9:45Speaker 3: can he be at throwing that ball?
- 9:46Speaker 1: Third down and two. They go quickly to the line
- 9:48Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Toss sweep back. Dylan Edwards has it. He'll
- 9:51Speaker 1: get to the 35 and 36. He'll have first down
- 9:54Speaker 1: yardage as he kept his footing and ran out of bounds.
- 9:57Speaker 1: And there's a flag behind the play. This one's in
- 9:59Speaker 1: that area. of holding. We'll see what the call is.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Our referee tonight will give us the call. That's Michael McCabe.
- 10:11Speaker 1: They get the tight end, Jalen Butler for the hold
- 10:13Speaker 1: instead of converting the first down. It'll be third down
- 10:16Speaker 1: and long now for the Jayhawks.
- 10:17Speaker 4: Yeah, great call.
- 10:18Speaker 3: It was a great call by our defense, but me personally,
- 10:22Speaker 3: I hate wide plays on third and short. You got
- 10:26Speaker 3: to get wide in order to get vertical, and in
- 10:28Speaker 3: third and short, you got to hit it quick, and
- 10:30Speaker 3: it just doesn't work that.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Often for me.
- 10:32Speaker 3: But great job on that play right there by the defense. Unfortunately,
- 10:36Speaker 3: getting a penalty, but knocking them out there.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Third down and 12. Marshall backs up into the shotgun.
- 10:40Speaker 1: He deploys receivers right and left. Brings one in motion.
- 10:44Speaker 1: He'll backpedal to pass. Utah not bringing pressure. Plenty of
- 10:48Speaker 1: time down the field. Broken up. Good safety help over
- 10:51Speaker 1: the top by Rabbit Evans. They were trying to get
- 10:53Speaker 1: that ball to Cam Pickett. Oh, goodness. We've got a
- 10:56Speaker 1: Utah player down. Elijah Reed, a little friendly fire contact
- 11:00Speaker 1: there with Rabbit Evans. He's down on the Kansas sideline.
- 11:02Speaker 1: It'll be fourth down.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Yeah, that's hard.
- 11:04Speaker 3: And Rabbit Evans does a great job of playing over
- 11:07Speaker 3: the top, playing the quarterback's eyes right there.
- 11:09Speaker 4: But he runs into his own guy right there and
- 11:11Speaker 4: kind of hits the ground right there.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Hopefully Elijah Reid can get up from this.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Kansas will have to punt here now. Matt Gill, the punter,
- 11:18Speaker 1: one of those Australian kicking academy guys, a former Austin
- 11:21Speaker 1: Rules football player, will come in and he'll punt it
- 11:23Speaker 1: from inside his 10. Monica Carvalho will stand at his
- 11:26Speaker 1: own 28-yard line. We've only seen Monica get one really
- 11:29Speaker 1: big punt return off this year. This might be an
- 11:32Speaker 1: opportunity here. If Utah can get this thing blocked up.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Gill gets the kick away. It's an end-over-end kick. Mata's
- 11:41Speaker 1: going to come up and take it at about the 28.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Makes one man miss. Inside and outside, another man miss.
- 11:47Speaker 1: And he does a lot of running to pick up
- 11:49Speaker 1: about six yards. He took it at the 28, got suffered,
- 11:52Speaker 1: and tackled down at about the 34-yard line. It's a
- 11:55Speaker 1: 49-yard punt and a six-yard return, and we've got a
- 11:57Speaker 1: timeout on the field. Our broadcast today being brought to
- 12:00Speaker 1: you by Minky Couture. Buy them online or in-store, one
- 12:03Speaker 1: of their six locations. 7.38 to play here in the first.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Utah's going to get the ball back, leading 7-0. From
- 12:10Speaker 1: the Big O' Tires broadcast booth here at Rice Eccles Stadium,
- 12:12Speaker 1: it's Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports
- 12:16Speaker 1: Radio Network.
- 12:18Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football, brought to you by Smiths
- 12:21Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Halfway home in the first quarter, 7-0 Utah. The first
- 12:29Speaker 1: and 10 for Utah from their own 34 leading at
- 12:32Speaker 1: 7-0 here in the first. Empty backfield, just Devin Dampier
- 12:35Speaker 1: back there. Two tights and three wides here for the
- 12:37Speaker 1: Utes on first and 10. Kansas with a four-man down front.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Devin's going to bring a man in motion. That's Daniel Bray.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Fake the pop pass play. Action pass now. Devin's got
- 12:45Speaker 1: lots of time. He's going to take a shot down
- 12:47Speaker 1: the field. He's got a man wide open. Ricky Johnson
- 12:50Speaker 1: inside the 25 and down to the Kansas 23-yard line.
- 12:55Speaker 6: Ricky Johnson running three through the.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Joe Hayhawk secondary and a Utah first down.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly what you want to do at it is
- 13:03Speaker 3: as far as applying pressure early and often.
- 13:05Speaker 4: This is aggressive mindset by Utah.
- 13:08Speaker 3: Now you go hurry up or you go no huddle
- 13:10Speaker 3: right here. Keep the pressure on the defense. Take those
- 13:13Speaker 3: chunk plays. They're worried about the run. You do a
- 13:16Speaker 3: play action fake, you get one-on-one on the back end
- 13:18Speaker 3: as you got right there.
- 13:19Speaker 4: Ricky Johnson comes up with a big chunk play.
- 13:21Speaker 1: 43 yards on that chunk play. Now they're going to
- 13:24Speaker 1: shift to a wildcat, Dampier, next to Wayshawn Parker. Wayshawn's
- 13:27Speaker 1: going to pivot one way, go the other, and he'll
- 13:29Speaker 1: be absolutely blown up in the backfield. He's going to
- 13:32Speaker 1: lose a couple yards. That might be a targeting or
- 13:35Speaker 1: a late hit. The flag comes in late. Wayshawn went down,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and this one's going to likely be against Kansas for
- 13:40Speaker 1: 15 yards. Wayshawn is not happy with the hit. Now
- 13:44Speaker 1: the referee, Mike McCabe, having a conversation with one of
- 13:47Speaker 1: his guys.
- 13:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd need to see a replay on that.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 13:53Speaker 6: After the play, a sportsmanlike conduct. Defense number seven. Half
- 13:58Speaker 6: an inch to the goal. Automatic first down.
- 14:01Speaker 1: That's the linebacker, Bam Crouch. My guess is he probably
- 14:04Speaker 1: said something to Wayshawn.
- 14:05Speaker 6: That's the first of the game for number seven.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Yeah, he stood over him and said something. It wasn't
- 14:12Speaker 1: the hit. The hit was clean.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I thought.
- 14:15Speaker 1: But he stood over the top of him and said
- 14:16Speaker 1: something away, Sean. That one goes inside the 15, now
- 14:20Speaker 1: down to the 13-yard line.
- 14:21Speaker 3: Yeah, in the field of play, I didn't see anything.
- 14:22Speaker 3: But that does make sense, taunting all of that.
- 14:24Speaker 4: It goes for the offense. It goes for the defense
- 14:26Speaker 4: as well.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Second trip into the Canyon View Credit Union red zone
- 14:29Speaker 1: today for the Utes. They're going to line up with
- 14:30Speaker 1: a full house backfield. Dampier, Bray, Parker. And a rhino back.
- 14:37Speaker 1: One wide receiver. They may throw the fade. They've got
- 14:39Speaker 1: man covers to the outside here with Braden Pagan. Devin
- 14:44Speaker 1: surveys the defense. And now he's going to keep it
- 14:47Speaker 1: himself on the right side. He cuts to the inside. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Touchdown.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Devin Dampier. He made the right decision on that option call.
- 14:58Speaker 1: And the Utes strike quickly on their second drive with
- 15:01Speaker 1: a Pepsi touchdown.
- 15:07Speaker 4: What do you do? I'm beside myself as well just watching.
- 15:12Speaker 4: This is awesome.
- 15:13Speaker 3: They're doing such a great job of carrying out the fakes.
- 15:17Speaker 3: I thought the ball was in Daniel Bray's hands. And
- 15:19Speaker 3: then lo and behold, it's in Devin Dampier's hand right
- 15:22Speaker 3: in the end zone.
- 15:23Speaker 4: And now you're up 14-0.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Well, that's if Dylan Curtis knocks this PAT through. And
- 15:29Speaker 1: he does. It's 14-0 Utah. That was a quick, quick
- 15:33Speaker 1: scoring drive. Three plays, 66 yards in a minute 19.
- 15:37Speaker 1: The big play, the 43-yard pass to Ricky Johnson. And
- 15:42Speaker 1: Devin Dampier now has 999 rushing yards as a Ute.
- 15:48Speaker 1: We'll come back after this timeout. Utah in control here
- 15:51Speaker 1: with 6.19 to play for the Big O Tires broadcast booth.
- 15:54Speaker 1: This is Utah football from ESPN 700, the Ute Sports
- 15:57Speaker 1: Radio Network.
- 16:00Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Bamboo
- 16:03Speaker 5: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Back inside of Rice Eccles Stadium, Utah has been wildly
- 16:12Speaker 1: effective offensively on their first two drives. They lead at
- 16:16Speaker 1: 14-0 with 6.19 to play. Our broadcast today being brought
- 16:19Speaker 1: to you by Slackwater Pizza. Such a great spot for family,
- 16:23Speaker 1: for friends, for food, all over the Salt Lake Valley. Provo,
- 16:27Speaker 1: Ogden as well. Stop in and see them. Great vibes,
- 16:30Speaker 1: awesome food. It's Slackwater Pizza. Zach Moss, great vibes on
- 16:36Speaker 1: that Utah sideline right now. They're making it look easy
- 16:39Speaker 1: so far.
- 16:40Speaker 4: They're playing fast and playing dominant, man.
- 16:42Speaker 2: This bye week looked like it really served these guys
- 16:44Speaker 2: really well. I love that touchdown score. with the rhino
- 16:48Speaker 2: package in, but usually we've seen that rhino package stay
- 16:50Speaker 2: on one side, the motion over, and then get Dan
- 16:53Speaker 2: Peer outside on the edge and just made a fantastic play.
- 16:57Speaker 4: New little wrinkles, new little wrinkles to some plays. Every week.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Every week, Kevin McGiven's got something for us, and so far,
- 17:03Speaker 1: so good. 14-0 Utah, 6-19 to play here in the
- 17:06Speaker 1: first quarter. That touchdown, a Pepsi touchdown, that sideline report
- 17:10Speaker 1: brought to you by Ken Garf, we hear you. Dylan
- 17:12Speaker 1: Curtis has it teed up at his own 35. Bryson Hayes,
- 17:15Speaker 1: the wide receiver. And kick returner, a freshman, redshirt freshman,
- 17:21Speaker 1: back deep to receive this at his own goal line.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Crowd slowly but surely filling in here. The different start
- 17:28Speaker 1: time and maybe the weather maybe kept some folks away early,
- 17:31Speaker 1: but it's filling in nicely here at Rice-Eccles on this Saturday,
- 17:34Speaker 1: and that's a great kickoff from Curtis through the back
- 17:36Speaker 1: of the end zone and out. And Isaiah Marshall and
- 17:38Speaker 1: that Kansas offense will begin first and ten at their
- 17:40Speaker 1: own 25-yard line. What did you see the first time
- 17:43Speaker 1: through from the Kansas offense? What are you expecting this
- 17:45Speaker 1: time through this line?
- 17:46Speaker 3: Well, they found some success with the quick pass off
- 17:50Speaker 3: the head of the one-step drop, filling the hitch play.
- 17:52Speaker 4: The Utah defense is going to catch on to that,
- 17:55Speaker 4: jump those routes right there.
- 17:56Speaker 3: There was nothing that they showed that Utah had to
- 18:00Speaker 3: be worried about or they didn't see on film.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Empty backfield for Marshall. Now he brings his tail back.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Dylan Edwards back in in a pistol formation. Tight end
- 18:09Speaker 1: comes in motion across the formation. Utah jostling around up front.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Marshall to pass. Scrambling out to his right. Nothing there,
- 18:15Speaker 1: and he's just going to throw it away. That ball
- 18:18Speaker 1: was out of bounds. Nobody there. Pressure was in his face.
- 18:21Speaker 1: He got it away. Second down and 10 coming up.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Great job by that defense. It's a coverage sack right here.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Not a coverage sack, but a coverage incompletion right here.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Just great coverage downfield.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Uncatchable ball right there. This defense is playing fast. Exactly
- 18:36Speaker 3: what you need coming out the gate.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Second down and 10 for Kansas from their own 25-yard line.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Clock stopped at 613 to play. Here in the first quarter,
- 18:47Speaker 1: 14-0 Utah. Wide receiver breaks the huddle first. They've got
- 18:50Speaker 1: three tight ends of the ball game now in Dylan Edwards.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Going to hand it to Edwards down that right side,
- 18:54Speaker 1: and he's going to be wrapped up and thrown down
- 18:57Speaker 1: from behind. Is that Carson Kapusi? No, that was Trey Reynolds.
- 19:00Speaker 4: That's at number 10.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Oh, that's Trey Reynolds, that linebacker who I said if
- 19:03Speaker 1: he had a big game today, that would bode well
- 19:05Speaker 1: for Utah's run defense. Third down and nine coming up.
- 19:08Speaker 4: Yeah, Trey Reynolds does a great job of playing that gap.
- 19:11Speaker 3: He has the frontside gap, but it's getting all muddled
- 19:13Speaker 3: up in there, so he stays on the backside right there.
- 19:15Speaker 4: As soon as Dylan.
- 19:16Speaker 3: Edwards tries to hit that cutback, Trey Reynolds is right
- 19:19Speaker 3: there to meet him, throws him backwards to make sure
- 19:22Speaker 3: he doesn't get any more positive yards.
- 19:24Speaker 1: They were third and 12 last drive. They're third and
- 19:26Speaker 1: nine here. They're 0 for 1 on third down. Marshall
- 19:29Speaker 1: to pass. Plenty of time. To the outside he goes
- 19:32Speaker 1: and intercepted!
- 19:33Speaker 4: Intercepted! Scooby Davis! Make it Bobo Chenault.
- 19:39Speaker 1: He threw it right to him, and James was there,
- 19:42Speaker 1: got his toe tapped down, and it's an interception for
- 19:45Speaker 1: the Utah defense.
- 19:50Speaker 3: As we said, he could throw, but he's very inconsistent. Here,
- 19:54Speaker 3: this ball is overthrown, right? It's supposed to be a
- 19:57Speaker 3: flat route right there. The only receiver's supposed to be
- 19:59Speaker 3: in the flat, but he throws it way over the head.
- 20:02Speaker 3: Almost the receiver's just like, oh, he's throwing that out
- 20:03Speaker 3: of bounds. And then Bobo Chenault's in the right place
- 20:06Speaker 3: at the right time. Great job at understanding your feet
- 20:09Speaker 3: are inbounds, getting that turnover right there.
- 20:11Speaker 1: That is Bobo Chenault's first interception as a UD. He
- 20:14Speaker 1: had a few last year at South Florida, and Utah's
- 20:18Speaker 1: got it in great starting field position here. They're going
- 20:20Speaker 1: to take a look at it just to make sure
- 20:21Speaker 1: he got both toes in. The only thing that might
- 20:24Speaker 1: hamper it, maybe a heel may have been on the line,
- 20:26Speaker 1: but it looked like the toes got down. We'll take
- 20:28Speaker 1: a look at the replay here.
- 20:30Speaker 3: I tend to side with the player on that, not
- 20:33Speaker 3: because I was a former player.
- 20:34Speaker 1: And a defender.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Yeah, well, one, he fixed his feet to make sure
- 20:39Speaker 3: that he was inbounds before he caught it. So I
- 20:42Speaker 3: think it would be hard for him to step out
- 20:44Speaker 3: of bounds. If he did, it would have been his heel.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Yeah, we're seeing the replay on TV. It looks like
- 20:49Speaker 1: the two toes get down before the heel hits. I
- 20:51Speaker 1: think this is going to stand. Even if it doesn't,
- 20:53Speaker 1: it's fourth down. Utah's going to be getting the ball
- 20:55Speaker 1: back here. A terrible pass by Marshall if it stands.
- 20:58Speaker 1: It's his fourth interception of the year.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Well, they're seeing a very fast defense now.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Well, the other thing that may be in question here is,
- 21:06Speaker 1: did he have control of the football when those toes
- 21:08Speaker 1: were down, too? Again, either way, Utah's going to be
- 21:12Speaker 1: getting it back here. It's either going to be via
- 21:14Speaker 1: punt or that interception.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Let's see who will be up here on the big screen.
- 21:20Speaker 4: I hope they get it.
- 21:20Speaker 3: You know, Utah will get a short field, 40 yards here.
- 21:24Speaker 3: So the ball comes in, toes down. Yeah, that's an interception.
- 21:27Speaker 1: He juggles the ball just a little bit, though, right there, Sly.
- 21:31Speaker 1: That may be it. But those toes are pretty close.
- 21:34Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 21:34Speaker 4: Well, let's see. It has to be big to overturn it, right?
- 21:37Speaker 1: And the call on the field was interception. So they're
- 21:39Speaker 1: going to have to have compelling evidence to overturn this call.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Mike McCabe looking at it right now. The Big 12
- 21:45Speaker 1: control folks down in the Dallas-Fort Worth area helping him
- 21:48Speaker 1: with this. And now we'll get the call from our
- 21:50Speaker 1: Big 12 officiating crew and head referee, Mike McCabe. Here
- 21:53Speaker 1: he is.
- 21:55Speaker 6: After review, ruling on the field of an interception by
- 21:59Speaker 6: the defense is upheld. First down, Utah.
- 22:03Speaker 1: So Bobo Chenault gets his first interception as a Ute.
- 22:06Speaker 1: He had two a year ago for South Florida. A
- 22:09Speaker 1: former three-star out of Orlando coming up big for Utah.
- 22:13Speaker 1: And it's just another example of this Utah secondary reloading
- 22:15Speaker 1: again this year.
- 22:16Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about in the pregame and what Sharif
- 22:19Speaker 3: Shah has been able to do with these guys. Elijah Reed,
- 22:22Speaker 3: Bobo Chenault, Scooby Davis, as we know, but There's more
- 22:25Speaker 3: and more guys coming up in the woodworks that are
- 22:27Speaker 3: doing amazing jobs, all because of Shrew Shaw's good coaching.
- 22:31Speaker 1: First and 10 from the Kansas 36-yard line, Devin Dampier,
- 22:34Speaker 1: Wayshon Parker in the shotgun. Three receivers and a tight
- 22:36Speaker 1: end in the formation right now. They hand that ball.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Now Devin's going to keep it himself and get back
- 22:41Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, and that's about it. Hands
- 22:44Speaker 1: that ball away, Sean. It might be a little bit
- 22:45Speaker 1: bigger game. Kansas had to play pretty well up front.
- 22:48Speaker 4: Yeah, they did. And he slipped.
- 22:49Speaker 3: He was trying to get through a little crevice in
- 22:51Speaker 3: that offensive line right there.
- 22:52Speaker 4: And he slipped. If he doesn't slip, he picks up
- 22:54Speaker 4: a few more yards than this. But he had to
- 22:57Speaker 4: get down. And right release. So we don't want Devin
- 22:59Speaker 4: Dampier taking any hits.
- 23:01Speaker 1: This offensive series brought to you by Bud Light. Easy
- 23:03Speaker 1: to drink and easy to enjoy. Second and 10 now
- 23:05Speaker 1: from the Kansas 36. Daniel Bray, the tailback. No, it's
- 23:08Speaker 1: way Sean Parker. Bray comes in motion, catches the pop pass,
- 23:11Speaker 1: turns the corner, 35. Oh, and he is absolutely belted down.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Goodness gracious. Corey Gordon came up from his strong safety
- 23:20Speaker 1: spot and blew up Daniel Bray after about a one-yard gain,
- 23:23Speaker 1: third down.
- 23:27Speaker 3: That's a great job by the safety at coming down,
- 23:28Speaker 3: but the other players on the defense is doing a
- 23:31Speaker 3: good job of making sure Daniel Bray continues to widen
- 23:34Speaker 3: and plays right into your free defender, and that's what
- 23:37Speaker 3: he does right there. You've got to get Daniel Bray
- 23:39Speaker 3: in an open area where he can cut it upfield.
- 23:41Speaker 1: And use his speed. Utah one for one on third down.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Here it's a third down and nine from the KU
- 23:46Speaker 1: 35-yard line. He motions Parker out of the backfield. Devon's
- 23:49Speaker 1: going to pass. Here comes the blitz, and he is
- 23:51Speaker 1: going to be sacked. He needed to get rid of
- 23:54Speaker 1: that football. Leroy Harris off the defensive end spot sacked
- 23:57Speaker 1: him for about a seven-yard loss. And now the punt
- 24:00Speaker 1: team's likely to come out here for Utah, not making
- 24:03Speaker 1: anything of that interception. Or would they try a field goal?
- 24:06Speaker 1: There's too much of a breeze in the face right
- 24:08Speaker 1: now of Dylan Curtis. This is going to be a
- 24:09Speaker 1: punt here for Orion Phillips. So a little disappointing right
- 24:12Speaker 1: there after getting that INT.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Yeah, that third down play right there, I think they
- 24:18Speaker 3: had a wrong count on the offensive line or they
- 24:20Speaker 3: didn't push out enough or Devin Depp here has got
- 24:22Speaker 3: to understand that guy is open and kind of make
- 24:24Speaker 3: him miss to get some extra time.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Tate Nagy back at his own four-yard line. Orion Phillips
- 24:29Speaker 1: on to punt it here for Utah. Nagy, the wide
- 24:32Speaker 1: receiver punt returner. High end over end kick. He's going
- 24:36Speaker 1: to call for the fair catch and take it at
- 24:37Speaker 1: about the six-yard line. Good punt by Orion Phillips. They
- 24:40Speaker 1: pin Kansas back deep with 329 to play here in
- 24:43Speaker 1: the first quarter. Going to keep it right here. 37-yard punt,
- 24:46Speaker 1: no return. And for the third time today, we'll see
- 24:49Speaker 1: Isaiah Marshall in this Kansas offense. Marshall gets bailed out
- 24:52Speaker 1: just a bit by his defense after throwing that pick
- 24:54Speaker 1: the last time through.
- 24:55Speaker 3: Yeah, and as we said, we haven't seen much from
- 24:58Speaker 3: this offense thus far.
- 24:59Speaker 4: It's great. You want to keep that up and continue
- 25:03Speaker 4: to pin the pressure on them.
- 25:04Speaker 3: Going up by three scores right there would have been awesome,
- 25:06Speaker 3: so that's a missed opportunity there by the Utah offense.
- 25:10Speaker 1: They mark it at the 7, so a 93-yard field
- 25:13Speaker 1: here for the Jayhawks. Backed up against the south end
- 25:15Speaker 1: zone here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Dylan Edwards, the tailback, lined
- 25:19Speaker 1: up next to Isaiah Marshall in the shotgun formation. Two
- 25:23Speaker 1: tights and two wides here for the Jayhawks as they
- 25:25Speaker 1: bring a tight end across the formation in motion. Edwards
- 25:28Speaker 1: to the outside, and he's going to get a short gain,
- 25:30Speaker 1: and that's it. Maybe a yard or two out to
- 25:33Speaker 1: about the 9-yard line.
- 25:36Speaker 4: Great safety play right here by Nate Ritchie coming up.
- 25:40Speaker 4: A lot of people wait for the block to happen.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Nate Ritchie goes up there and forces the issue, hitting
- 25:45Speaker 3: the offensive lineman not to be able to center him up.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Quick offensive set here. Isaiah Marshall is going to keep
- 25:50Speaker 1: it himself outside, and he is going to get to
- 25:53Speaker 1: the 15 and 17-yard line. That'll be enough for a
- 25:56Speaker 1: first down. Ethan Day got him. It looked like Utah
- 25:57Speaker 1: had him. Good patience by Marshall. He picks up the
- 26:01Speaker 1: yardage needed for a first down, and it'll be first
- 26:03Speaker 1: down and 10 at about the 18-yard line. Yeah, you
- 26:06Speaker 1: see the differences in what... Quick snap again, Marshall to pass.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Now he's going to keep it himself. Throw it out
- 26:11Speaker 1: in the flat. It's caught for no gain. They get
- 26:14Speaker 1: that ball to the wide receiver, Cam Pickett. Kansas trying
- 26:17Speaker 1: to go with a little tempo here, but not much success.
- 26:20Speaker 4: Yeah, good job exactly.
- 26:22Speaker 3: When you get a first down or a big play
- 26:24Speaker 3: right there, you want to go up tempo to try
- 26:25Speaker 3: to catch the defense off guard.
- 26:27Speaker 4: But this Utah defense is very aware, very used to
- 26:29Speaker 4: up-tempo offense.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Cyrus Paulu made the tackle. It'll be second down and
- 26:33Speaker 1: 10 from right around the 19-yard line for Kansas. Clock
- 26:36Speaker 1: running at 219 to play here in the first quarter.
- 26:38Speaker 1: 14-0 in Utah. Utes crowd the line of scrimmage. Marshall
- 26:43Speaker 1: play action pass. Pressure in his face. Dumps over the middle.
- 26:45Speaker 1: He's got a man there who's upended and tackled just
- 26:48Speaker 1: across the 20 to about the 24. He's tight end,
- 26:51Speaker 1: Carson Bruin. And that'll bring up third down.
- 26:54Speaker 3: Good tackle right there by Jonah Hall. He's got the
- 26:56Speaker 3: flat defender right there, and that receiver comes across the formation,
- 27:00Speaker 3: and Jonah Hall just meets him.
- 27:02Speaker 4: That's what you want to do. That's what good coaches teach,
- 27:03Speaker 4: defense coordinators teach. Tackle the catch.
- 27:06Speaker 3: You don't want to have any yards after catch or
- 27:08Speaker 3: any yards after contact, and that was a good job
- 27:10Speaker 3: by Jonah Hall of taking him down.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Third down and five. Jayhawks 0 for 2 tonight on
- 27:14Speaker 1: third down as the Musts, who has filled in nicely here,
- 27:17Speaker 1: all 8,000-plus, make some noise, marshal the pass. Lots of
- 27:21Speaker 1: time scanning the field. Fires over the middle. Caught and dropped.
- 27:26Speaker 1: And then caught again. Incomplete, they say.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
- 27:29Speaker 1: It was almost a double catch there. Bruin, the tight end,
- 27:32Speaker 1: almost came up with a second catch. It goes incomplete.
- 27:34Speaker 1: They tried to get that to Kubeka, the wide receiver,
- 27:37Speaker 1: who had to go in and out of his hands
- 27:39Speaker 1: in traffic. And it was almost intercepted as well by Utah.
- 27:44Speaker 1: That'll bring up fourth down.
- 27:45Speaker 4: Yeah, great job by Cyrus Polu and Jonah Hall right there.
- 27:48Speaker 4: Jonah Hall.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Forcing that ball back to the inside right into Cyrus Polo.
- 27:51Speaker 3: They pop that ball up and of course Elijah Ellis
- 27:55Speaker 3: right there as well to make sure that double catch
- 27:56Speaker 3: doesn't happen.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Utah's punt return man back deep. It's Creed Whittemore this time.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Rugby style kick away from the return man is going
- 28:10Speaker 1: to hit and take a Kansas hop. Whittemore is going
- 28:12Speaker 1: to pick it up at about the 23 and step
- 28:14Speaker 1: out of bounds at about the 25. Just so it
- 28:17Speaker 1: doesn't take much more of a Kansas hop and Utah
- 28:19Speaker 1: will begin with a 75 yard field and a minute
- 28:23Speaker 1: 17 to play here in the first quarter. 54 yard punt,
- 28:25Speaker 1: three yard return. Interesting that Carvalho wasn't back there that time.
- 28:30Speaker 1: And you might see Utah employed two punt returners if
- 28:33Speaker 1: they're going to opt to do that rugby kick away
- 28:35Speaker 1: from the return man.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully he can. What was that punt return? Was
- 28:39Speaker 4: it 2016 at Oregon?
- 28:39Speaker 1: 2015 up at Oregon.
- 28:41Speaker 4: Yeah, where we.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Threw it back and they made it think that it
- 28:44Speaker 3: was Covey and it was on the other side.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Booby Hobbs took it to the house at Autzen Stadium
- 28:49Speaker 1: that day.
- 28:50Speaker 4: That's right.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Utah put it on the Ducks that afternoon 11 years ago.
- 28:54Speaker 1: First and 10. Parker in the pistol. They're going to
- 28:57Speaker 1: hand it to the up man instead. The big fella.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Was that Sione? No, that was Semmy. Taolonga, number 99,
- 29:06Speaker 1: who picked up a hard-earned yard. Not sure they thought...
- 29:11Speaker 1: How far that was going to actually get, but the
- 29:13Speaker 1: big fella gets a yard on that carry. He'll check
- 29:15Speaker 1: out now. Second down and nine coming up.
- 29:19Speaker 4: Yeah, the crowd likes that. He got the handoff. Everybody
- 29:23Speaker 4: enjoyed that. So hopefully we can get.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Him more carries. Second down and nine. Empty backfield. Way
- 29:27Speaker 1: Sean Parker's going to motion back in here. Clock running
- 29:30Speaker 1: at 43 seconds to play here in the first quarter.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Kansas bringing some pressure. Dampier scrambles away from it. Looking
- 29:37Speaker 1: down the field has a man. Oh, he missed Pagan,
- 29:39Speaker 1: who now is Whittemore, who was just coming so wide
- 29:42Speaker 1: open at the 50. Boy, Devin would like to have
- 29:45Speaker 1: that one back because Creed was open, and that was
- 29:47Speaker 1: an easy throw, too, for, or it should have been
- 29:50Speaker 1: an easy throw for Devin.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes it's harder, right? You know, the guy is
- 29:54Speaker 3: so wide open, you get excited. but he's also rolling
- 29:57Speaker 3: out to his offhand side, so resetting the feet and
- 29:59Speaker 3: getting his body adjusted and square is a lot harder.
- 30:03Speaker 1: So after being uber effective on the first two drives,
- 30:06Speaker 1: Utah faces a third down and nine here and in
- 30:08Speaker 1: danger of going three and out for a second straight drive.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Parker comes in motion, and now motions back into the
- 30:16Speaker 1: backfield on third down and nine. Kansas is going to
- 30:17Speaker 1: rush just four right now. Plenty of time here for Devin.
- 30:20Speaker 1: He's going to lose the football.
- 30:22Speaker 4: Kansas comes up with it.
- 30:25Speaker 1: And we're going to have a face mask on the
- 30:27Speaker 1: return of the fumble. Oh, goodness. Devin was loose with
- 30:32Speaker 1: the football. And David Santiago stripped it and came up
- 30:36Speaker 1: with it and returned it to the Utah 14-yard line.
- 30:40Speaker 1: And I think we're going to get a face mask
- 30:41Speaker 1: on Utah on that return. Or is it on Santiago?
- 30:45Speaker 4: He reached up.
- 30:46Speaker 3: It might be on Santiago here. But this is what
- 30:49Speaker 3: we were talking about, what we needed our defense to do.
- 30:51Speaker 3: When you get around the quarterback, don't go right around.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Reach out and grab the ball. Santiago does that. Here's
- 30:57Speaker 3: the call for the referee.
- 30:58Speaker 6: On the field, the interception by the defense. After the play,
- 31:02Speaker 6: after the interception, personal foul, face mask, offense. After this
- 31:08Speaker 6: is to the goal, first down Kansas.
- 31:10Speaker 1: The one thing you cannot do to a team that
- 31:13Speaker 1: you are favored against is give them short fields and
- 31:16Speaker 1: turn it over. That was poor, poor, poor ball security
- 31:20Speaker 1: by Devin that time, and an excellent play by Santiago.
- 31:23Speaker 1: I thought it was a strip and a fumble. They're
- 31:25Speaker 1: going to call this an interception. I kind of think
- 31:28Speaker 1: that's a fumble, but either way, Kansas has got it.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Heading to the north end zone, first and goal at
- 31:34Speaker 1: the Utah 7.
- 31:36Speaker 3: Yeah, this is where this defense needs to come up here.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Adversity's hitting right now. A little lull on the offensive
- 31:43Speaker 3: side of the ball. Defense got to make a play.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Dylan Edwards, the tailback lined up in a pistol. Wide
- 31:48Speaker 1: receiver comes in motion. Isaiah Marshall hands it to Dylan Edwards.
- 31:52Speaker 1: He bounces to the outside. He's got the five, and
- 31:55Speaker 1: he's ripped down at about the three-yard line. Excellent tackle
- 31:58Speaker 1: in the open field by Elijah Reed. Keeps him out
- 32:02Speaker 1: of the end zone. It'll be second down and goal
- 32:04Speaker 1: at the three.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Yeah, great tackle by Elijah Reed. As we said, Dylan
- 32:07Speaker 3: Edwards has a lot of speed. He gets on that
- 32:09Speaker 3: edge right there. That's exactly where.
- 32:11Speaker 4: He wants to be.
- 32:11Speaker 3: He gets by one guy, but Elijah Reed does a
- 32:14Speaker 3: good job of drafting him and bringing him down.
- 32:16Speaker 4: Defend every blade of grass.
- 32:18Speaker 1: One Elijah missed.
- 32:19Speaker 6: That is the end of the first quarter.
- 32:21Speaker 1: The second Elijah did not. We'll change ends here as
- 32:24Speaker 1: we head to the second quarter at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah
- 32:27Speaker 1: dominated early. Kansas with a chance to get back in
- 32:30Speaker 1: this thing when we return. Second down and goal with
- 32:32Speaker 1: the three for the Jayhawks. Our first half today being
- 32:34Speaker 1: brought to you by Smiths and Pepsi. Pepsi was made
- 32:38Speaker 1: for Utes watching. From Rice-Eccles Stadium, this time out on
- 32:40Speaker 1: the field brought to you by Bamboo HR. And this
- 32:43Speaker 1: is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Utes Sports
- 32:46Speaker 1: Radio Network.
- 32:48Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
- 32:51Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Utes Sports Network.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Back at Rice-Eccles Stadium, we head to the second quarter.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Utah 14, Kansas nothing. The Utes absolutely dominated the first
- 33:03Speaker 1: two drives of this game. But the second drive, a
- 33:06Speaker 1: little out of sync. And then the turnover by Devin
- 33:08Speaker 1: Dampier on the fourth drive, Sly. Sends him up with
- 33:12Speaker 1: a short field. And Kansas, who frankly has not played
- 33:14Speaker 1: very well so far, has a chance to be right
- 33:17Speaker 1: back in this ballgame. They're three yards away from Bader.
- 33:20Speaker 4: Yeah, but they got athletes too, right? You give them
- 33:23Speaker 4: an opportunity to do that, right? We miss a block.
- 33:25Speaker 3: They get back there. They swing at the quarterback, and
- 33:28Speaker 3: Devin misses that. That was just more unfortunate than anything,
- 33:32Speaker 3: and unfortunate plays happen, and.
- 33:34Speaker 4: They lead to errors.
- 33:35Speaker 3: But here, I hate the quarter coming because I'd like
- 33:38Speaker 3: them to go into the end zone and the north
- 33:40Speaker 3: end zone where there's a lot of noise over there.
- 33:42Speaker 3: But here, the Mustas got to stand up and take
- 33:44Speaker 3: that place right here and make sure we keep them
- 33:46Speaker 3: out of the end zone.
- 33:47Speaker 1: First quarter numbers, Utah 112 yards, Kansas 30. 60 through
- 33:51Speaker 1: the air, 52 on the ground for the Utes, 14
- 33:53Speaker 1: through the air, 16 on the ground for the Jayhawks.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Utah had eight first downs and one for Kansas. Jayhawks
- 33:59Speaker 1: haven't converted a third down. Utah won for three, but
- 34:03Speaker 1: Kansas now has second down and goal from the three-yard line.
- 34:07Speaker 1: I would be very surprised if we don't see a
- 34:09Speaker 1: little Dylan Edwards or Isaiah Marshall on the move right here.
- 34:15Speaker 1: He seems to be much more comfortable outside the pocket
- 34:18Speaker 1: than he is inside the pocket right now.
- 34:20Speaker 3: Yes yes yes he is and we just got to
- 34:23Speaker 3: keep that pressure on him we keep that pressure on
- 34:25Speaker 3: him and we'll we'll knock this out right here and
- 34:29Speaker 3: sometimes i haven't really seen any detailed blitz if we
- 34:31Speaker 3: can draw up a blitz right here that might catch
- 34:34Speaker 3: them off guard because that's something they haven't seen either
- 34:36Speaker 3: but this is going to be a huge test of
- 34:38Speaker 3: your defense at knocking this team out right here this
- 34:41Speaker 3: is in a bad position you only give them seven
- 34:43Speaker 3: yards to go can you keep them.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Out It's Edwards in a pistol behind Isaiah Marshall. Movement
- 34:50Speaker 1: up front. And we'll see if this is on Kansas
- 34:53Speaker 1: or if Utah jumped early. It's on Kansas. Here's the
- 34:57Speaker 1: call from Mike McKinney.
- 35:00Speaker 6: Offense number 72. Five-yard penalty. Remains second down.
- 35:04Speaker 1: They get the right tackle. DeAndre Harper, the transfer from
- 35:07Speaker 1: Northwest Missouri State. So Utah gets a little bit of
- 35:09Speaker 1: a break. Second down and goal now from the eight-yard line.
- 35:12Speaker 3: Great job by Cash Dillon at pointing that out, right?
- 35:14Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you miss it if you don't react.
- 35:17Speaker 3: And Cash Dillon does a great job of reading his
- 35:19Speaker 3: keys right there. See that guy twitch? Jump up in
- 35:22Speaker 3: the neutral zone right there and make sure the ref
- 35:23Speaker 3: calls that.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Zeke Marshall breaks the huddle. Strength on the right-hand side.
- 35:29Speaker 1: Now they'll shift all their personnel around. Dylan Edwards, the tailback.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Three receivers now on the left. I think we've got
- 35:35Speaker 1: another flag coming here. And I think they may have
- 35:38Speaker 1: DeAndre Harper moving again at the right tackle spot. We'll see.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Kansas is saying, oh, Utah was simulating the count here.
- 35:46Speaker 6: Outside, defense number 93 in the neutral zone, causing a
- 35:50Speaker 6: reaction from the offense. Five-yard penalty remains second down.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Well, there's your guy, Cash Dillon.
- 35:56Speaker 4: Well, I mean. He thought he could get him again,
- 35:59Speaker 4: but this was a shift.
- 36:03Speaker 3: I see if the replay is going a little sooner
- 36:04Speaker 3: than that, but we flex in half the distance.
- 36:06Speaker 6: To the goal.
- 36:08Speaker 1: So it goes to the four yard line now, second
- 36:10Speaker 1: down and goal at the four. So after both those penalties,
- 36:13Speaker 1: Utah nets a yard. Marshall by himself in the backfield.
- 36:21Speaker 1: Brings the receiver in motion. Going to keep it himself.
- 36:24Speaker 1: And he's going to be stacked up at about the
- 36:26Speaker 1: three-yard line. He'll fall forward to close to the two.
- 36:29Speaker 1: It'll be third down and goal. Carson Kifusi did a
- 36:31Speaker 1: good job up front for Utah. Third down and goal
- 36:34Speaker 1: coming up.
- 36:35Speaker 3: Great job by Carson Kifusi. They did an X stunt
- 36:38Speaker 3: right there. So they did a tech stunt right there.
- 36:40Speaker 3: They have the tackle go inside and the other tackle
- 36:43Speaker 3: wrap around.
- 36:43Speaker 4: Carson Kifusi comes free.
- 36:45Speaker 3: He does a great job of staying square and making
- 36:48Speaker 3: sure that he can.
- 36:48Speaker 4: Get back into the play and knock that out. It
- 36:51Speaker 4: was a great TT stunt right there.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Kansas in the huddle. Utah subbing liberally right now. Third
- 36:57Speaker 1: down and goal from the three-yard line. This would be
- 36:59Speaker 1: a huge stop for the Utah defense if they can
- 37:01Speaker 1: get it. Isaiah Marshall by himself. Four receivers on the
- 37:06Speaker 1: right-hand side. Marshall throws the flanker screen to the tailback.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Edwards who's into the end zone. Touchdown. They just overloaded
- 37:16Speaker 1: that side with receivers and blockers, and Marshall, or make
- 37:19Speaker 1: it Dylan Edwards, was just quick enough to beat Jackson, Benny,
- 37:22Speaker 1: and Nate Ritchie to the pylon. And the Jayhawks cash
- 37:25Speaker 1: in on the Utah turnover.
- 37:26Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's the hard part is you play into
- 37:29Speaker 4: the blocker.
- 37:29Speaker 3: A little bit, and there was still a lot of
- 37:31Speaker 3: room on the outside. But that's Dylan Edwards' speed right
- 37:34Speaker 3: there to get around Jackson Binney. But that was just
- 37:36Speaker 3: a great play call by Kansas in taking advantage of that.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Three plays, seven yards, a minute 18 off the game clock.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Three-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Edwards, his first touchdown reception
- 37:46Speaker 1: this year. And the seventh touchdown pass for Isaiah Marshall.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Martin Connington on to attempt the PAT. The transfer from
- 37:53Speaker 1: Michigan State. And he drills it through good with 14.09
- 37:58Speaker 1: to play here. In the first half, it's Utah 14
- 38:01Speaker 1: and Kansas 7. Now can we see Utah get back
- 38:04Speaker 1: to what they did on those first couple of drives, Sly?
- 38:07Speaker 4: Yeah, those first.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Couple of drives, they were dialed in. The level of
- 38:10Speaker 3: execution on each play was great. And it felt like
- 38:13Speaker 3: the third and fourth drive, they kind of just tapered
- 38:15Speaker 3: off with folks in execution. I can't necessarily say it was...
- 38:19Speaker 3: It was play calling, but, you know, understanding the blocking scheme.
- 38:22Speaker 3: Do we get the right guys? Are we overthrowing guys?
- 38:25Speaker 3: Are we just not taking advantage of the plays that
- 38:27Speaker 3: are right there? And so hopefully, yes, as you said,
- 38:30Speaker 3: this Utah offense can get back on that, resettle their feet, refocus,
- 38:33Speaker 3: because this should be 21-0, right? We had a short
- 38:36Speaker 3: field we didn't compete on. We didn't get on any
- 38:40Speaker 3: points on. They get the ball back. They get a
- 38:42Speaker 3: quick three and out in turnover, put the defense in
- 38:44Speaker 3: a seven-yard field. You know, so there's a lot of
- 38:47Speaker 3: things that this offense can come back from. Hopefully they
- 38:49Speaker 3: can refocus and get that aggressiveness back.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Dane Efford will kick it off here for Kansas from
- 38:55Speaker 1: his own 35. Daniel Bray stands two yards deep in
- 38:58Speaker 1: his end zone. Quite a breeze coming out of the
- 39:00Speaker 1: south and in the face of the kicking team here
- 39:02Speaker 1: for Kansas. We'll see if maybe Bray has a chance
- 39:05Speaker 1: to bring this thing out. Yardage update, 112 for Utah,
- 39:07Speaker 1: 34 for Kansas. And that yardage update brought to you
- 39:11Speaker 1: by CR England. Kick is high. It's end over end.
- 39:16Speaker 1: And that will go through the end zone. Excellent kickoff
- 39:19Speaker 1: for the kickoff team for Kansas. And Utah will be
- 39:21Speaker 1: in first and 10 from their own 25. We'll see
- 39:23Speaker 1: if Devin Dampier can make amends for that. Did they
- 39:27Speaker 1: still call that an interception? They did end up calling
- 39:30Speaker 1: it a fumble. So yeah, I thought it was a fumble.
- 39:32Speaker 4: Yeah, that would have been a fumble.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was a fumble. Second fumble we've seen
- 39:35Speaker 1: lost this year by Dev. And now he brings the
- 39:38Speaker 1: offense out first and 10 from his own 25, moving
- 39:41Speaker 1: south to north. Way Sean Parker, the tailback. Two tights
- 39:45Speaker 1: and two wides. Braden Pagan in the ballgame, as is
- 39:48Speaker 1: Ricky Johnson, who's got the big catch of 43 yards
- 39:50Speaker 1: today for Utah. Pagan comes in motion. Hand off Wayshawn Parker.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Wayshawn up that right side. Picks his way forward beyond
- 39:58Speaker 1: the 30, out to the 32-yard line. That looked like
- 40:00Speaker 1: it'd be about a three-yard gain. Ended up being seven.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Dak Brinkley made the tackle for Kansas. Second down and
- 40:06Speaker 1: short coming up.
- 40:06Speaker 4: We talk about keeping your legs moving, right?
- 40:08Speaker 3: But as the offensive lineman, too, the offensive lineman keeping
- 40:11Speaker 3: their legs moving. There was a stalemate here right past
- 40:13Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. Wayshawn Parker rides the back of
- 40:15Speaker 3: the blockers and gets a few more yards.
- 40:17Speaker 4: Look at those legs keep pumping. It's a great job
- 40:20Speaker 4: with those pink cleats.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Six carries 39 yards right now. Bird pickling in the
- 40:24Speaker 1: ball game for Utah. No motion into the backfield with
- 40:29Speaker 1: Devin Dampier on second down and three. Option play to
- 40:31Speaker 1: the outside. Bird's got it. He's got running room to
- 40:34Speaker 1: the edge. 40. Stiff arms the man and out of
- 40:36Speaker 1: bounds at about the 42-yard line. That was a little
- 40:39Speaker 1: bit of a late shove there by Kansas. The pickup
- 40:42Speaker 1: was nice. He picks up about nine. That's an Ivory
- 40:45Speaker 1: Holmes first down. If he cuts this back inside, maybe
- 40:48Speaker 1: he has a little bit more, but he was shoved
- 40:50Speaker 1: out of bounds after picking up first down yards.
- 40:52Speaker 3: I'd like to keep him away from contact, but I
- 40:54Speaker 3: got PTSD about my quarterbacks on that side of him
- 40:56Speaker 3: over there.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Cam Rising, that's where he took to the Gatorade coolers
- 40:59Speaker 1: a few years ago against Baylor. Bird stays in the ballgame.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Ian Devon in the backfield on first down and 10
- 41:06Speaker 1: from the 42-yard line. Play-action pass into the flat. It
- 41:08Speaker 1: goes to Bird Ficklin. Makes one man miss, but not
- 41:11Speaker 1: the next, and he'll end up losing two yards back
- 41:13Speaker 1: to the 40-yard line.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a little shaky operations.
- 41:17Speaker 3: I think the snap came just a second quick, and
- 41:19Speaker 3: the guys didn't get the snap at the same time,
- 41:21Speaker 3: and that just drew that play up, and it was
- 41:23Speaker 3: a great job, great eyes by the defense at understanding
- 41:26Speaker 3: what they're looking at.
- 41:26Speaker 1: Trey Latham, the linebacker, made a nice open field tackle
- 41:29Speaker 1: for the Jayhawks. It's second down and 12 now, back
- 41:31Speaker 1: at the 40-yard line. Parker back at the ballgame, lines
- 41:35Speaker 1: up with a pistol. Got a rhino back in the
- 41:37Speaker 1: left slot, does Utah on second down and 12. Play action, nope,
- 41:40Speaker 1: a delayed hand off the way, Sean, trying to get
- 41:42Speaker 1: to the edge. Good open field tackle again. Excellent work.
- 41:47Speaker 4: Yeah. One, you have to tip your cap to Kansas.
- 41:50Speaker 3: They're doing a good job of blocking up these counters, right?
- 41:53Speaker 4: This is a counter back the other way.
- 41:54Speaker 3: It's supposed to hit up inside, but the inside is
- 41:57Speaker 3: not there. Parker tries to make a play by bouncing
- 42:00Speaker 3: it outside, and they catch it.
- 42:02Speaker 1: Van Crouch made the tackle. It's now third down and 14.
- 42:05Speaker 1: Utah just one for three on third down tonight. They've
- 42:08Speaker 1: got to get to the Kansas 48. This is a
- 42:10Speaker 1: passing down. We'll see if the Jayhawks bring pressure on
- 42:13Speaker 1: Devin Dampier here. Looks like a four-man rush. Here comes
- 42:16Speaker 1: the late blitz. Devon's going to scramble away from it.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Look down the field. He's got a man open down there,
- 42:20Speaker 1: Ricky Johnson. And that's going to be pass interference on Kansas.
- 42:25Speaker 1: Two flags come out. Ricky Johnson interfered with by Saeed Gibbs.
- 42:30Speaker 1: And Utah's going to get itself a first down and
- 42:32Speaker 1: keep this drive alive.
- 42:33Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's very fortunate.
- 42:36Speaker 6: Pass interference. Defense number two. 15-yard penalty. Automatic first down.
- 42:41Speaker 4: Yeah, Devin Dampier scrambling out of the pocket.
- 42:43Speaker 3: I don't know if he was able to even get
- 42:45Speaker 3: squared up to deliver a good football downfield. Ricky Johnson
- 42:48Speaker 3: definitely had a step on the defender, but Devin Dampier
- 42:51Speaker 3: rolling out to his left. I don't know if he
- 42:53Speaker 3: had enough time to square his body to deliver a
- 42:56Speaker 3: deep ball downfield, so good thing for the pass interference.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Yeah, Ricky came back to that ball. That's what won
- 43:00Speaker 1: him that flag.
- 43:01Speaker 4: Right, you got to go back and get it.
- 43:02Speaker 3: We talked about that early in the season where that
- 43:04Speaker 3: didn't happen. And we didn't get a call. But good
- 43:06Speaker 3: job by Ricky Johnson in coming back to the football.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Bird Ficklin in at quarterback. Pistol formation. Way Sean Parker
- 43:12Speaker 1: behind him. Three wide receivers split wide to the left-hand
- 43:15Speaker 1: side on first and 10 from the Kansas 48. It's
- 43:18Speaker 1: a play-action roll. Down the field.
- 43:20Speaker 4: Open.
- 43:20Speaker 1: Caught. Braden Pagan inside the 30. And out of bounds
- 43:23Speaker 1: at the Kansas 25-yard line. Excellent fake carried out by Ficklin.
- 43:27Speaker 1: And Pagan was all by himself. That's going to be
- 43:30Speaker 1: a gain of 23 yards and a first down.
- 43:32Speaker 3: You get so many runs from Bird Fickley, you don't
- 43:34Speaker 3: think he can run, and then all of a sudden, boom,
- 43:36Speaker 3: he throws his laser on the 7 route to Brandon Pagan.
- 43:39Speaker 4: Great job, great play call right there, and great execution
- 43:42Speaker 4: by the Utah offense.
- 43:43Speaker 1: He'll mark him out at the 27. That's still an
- 43:45Speaker 1: Ivory Holmes first down. Fickley stays in the ballgame, this
- 43:48Speaker 1: time as a wideout. Dampier at quarterback with an empty
- 43:53Speaker 1: backfield around him. Now Fickley will come back in, play
- 43:56Speaker 1: clock at 8 here for Utah. 14-7 Utes, 11-14 to
- 44:00Speaker 1: play here in the first half. Devin Dampier going to
- 44:04Speaker 1: keep it himself. Devin up the field, inside the 25,
- 44:07Speaker 1: down to about the 22-yard line goes Devin for a
- 44:10Speaker 1: gain of five. He wanted to go outside, but they
- 44:12Speaker 1: had Pagan covered up out there. Alex Bray made the
- 44:15Speaker 1: tackle for the Kansas Jayhawks.
- 44:17Speaker 4: I don't know why I love absolutely everything about that play. One,
- 44:21Speaker 4: it's a great decision by Devin Dampier.
- 44:22Speaker 3: A lot of people try to force that ball in
- 44:24Speaker 3: there and then force it into traffic, but he doesn't.
- 44:27Speaker 4: But because you're handing.
- 44:28Speaker 3: Off or faking handing off to Bert Finklin, you can
- 44:31Speaker 3: still pull it down and get five yards on first down.
- 44:33Speaker 4: You know how much positive yards on a broken plate?
- 44:35Speaker 4: That's awesome.
- 44:36Speaker 1: That's money in the bank right there. Second down and five,
- 44:39Speaker 1: and now we're going to get a timeout taken, I believe,
- 44:40Speaker 1: by Kansas. We do. They didn't like the look Utah
- 44:44Speaker 1: was going to give them.
- 44:45Speaker 6: First charge timeout, Kansas.
- 44:49Speaker 1: We'll take the time out with them. 10.34 to play
- 44:51Speaker 1: here in the first half. 14-7 Utah. They're on the
- 44:54Speaker 1: move here trying to extend this lead. Our first half
- 44:57Speaker 1: being brought to you by our good friends at Bud Light.
- 45:00Speaker 1: Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. 14-7 Utes for
- 45:04Speaker 1: the Big O' Tires broadcast booth. It's Utah football from
- 45:06Speaker 1: ESPN 700 and the Utes Sports Radio Network.
- 45:09Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
- 45:12Speaker 5: O' Tires on ESPN 700 and the Utes Sports Network.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Back at Rice-Eccles Stadium, 10-34 to play in the first half.
- 45:20Speaker 4: 14-7 Utah.
- 45:21Speaker 1: They're on the move right now. That last play that
- 45:24Speaker 1: Devin Dampier picked five up on is being reviewed right now.
- 45:26Speaker 1: The only thing I can think we might have here
- 45:29Speaker 1: is maybe a targeting play on the tackle. I'm not
- 45:32Speaker 1: sure what else they'd be looking at here. Here's Mike McCabe,
- 45:34Speaker 1: our referee.
- 45:34Speaker 6: After interviews, confirm that the runner's right knee was down
- 45:37Speaker 6: at the 28-yard line. It'll be second down at that point.
- 45:42Speaker 6: Kansas will not be charged a timeout.
- 45:45Speaker 1: So he was down before he, we'll watch the replay here.
- 45:49Speaker 1: The knee goes down. Yep, there it is. Devin did
- 45:53Speaker 1: not keep his footing. So instead of picking up five
- 45:55Speaker 1: on first down, he loses half a yard. So second
- 45:59Speaker 1: down at about ten and a half here for Utah.
- 46:01Speaker 1: And instead now second down at about ten and a
- 46:03Speaker 1: half for Utah. For the Kansas 28-yard line. Dampier by
- 46:07Speaker 1: himself in the shotgun. He'll backpedal to pass. Play action. Looking. Surveying.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Going to scramble out to his right, throw back across
- 46:15Speaker 1: his body. He's got a man open in the end zone.
- 46:18Speaker 1: That's pass interference again. He was going for Creed Whittemore,
- 46:21Speaker 1: and the defender just got his arms up and ran
- 46:23Speaker 1: straight into Creed. That's going to be a first down
- 46:25Speaker 1: on the pass interference. If it was in the NFL,
- 46:28Speaker 1: the ball would be at the three-yard line. Instead, it'll
- 46:31Speaker 1: just be a 15-yard penalty. Saeed Gibbs was the offender
- 46:35Speaker 1: on that. He was called for the last pass interference
- 46:37Speaker 1: as well.
- 46:38Speaker 6: Pass interference, defense number two. 15-yard penalty, automatic first down.
- 46:43Speaker 1: It was all made possible to Sly. Oh, wait a
- 46:46Speaker 1: minute now. We've got another flag coming out, and this
- 46:48Speaker 1: one might be on the Kansas coaching staff. Goodness, they
- 46:50Speaker 1: are getting after the referee right now. Holy moly.
- 46:54Speaker 3: Why is he all the way into him, though? The
- 46:58Speaker 3: coach should not be that far. There's a coaching box.
- 47:00Speaker 3: There's a lot of things.
- 47:01Speaker 4: The coach should not be that far.
- 47:03Speaker 1: This is going to be another penalty on Kansas. Here
- 47:05Speaker 1: we go.
- 47:06Speaker 6: That's sportsmanlike conduct. And the Kansas head coach... Off the
- 47:11Speaker 6: distance to the goal.
- 47:13Speaker 4: First down. I didn't see what happened after the play.
- 47:16Speaker 1: He was yelling at the side judge here just going
- 47:19Speaker 1: berserk because I don't know what they're claiming on the
- 47:22Speaker 1: injured player in the end zone here.
- 47:25Speaker 4: Because it was Creed Widmore. I didn't see anything happen
- 47:28Speaker 4: after the play. I didn't either.
- 47:30Speaker 3: The only reason you act like that is there was
- 47:32Speaker 3: something dirty happened and I felt like both guys got up.
- 47:36Speaker 4: I don't know. I have to look at a replay
- 47:37Speaker 4: on that, but.
- 47:39Speaker 1: He's in the end zone right now. He is just
- 47:41Speaker 1: giving it to the officials. Well, I'm not sure the
- 47:47Speaker 1: head coach, but one of the assistant coaches was giving
- 47:50Speaker 1: it to the officiating crew.
- 47:51Speaker 3: Well, I think before the coach can leave, you have
- 47:54Speaker 3: to wait for the officials to call it an injury.
- 47:56Speaker 1: Okay, either way, it's going to be first and goal
- 47:59Speaker 1: for Utah at the Kansas 7-yard line.
- 48:01Speaker 4: Yeah, he's saying he's.
- 48:02Speaker 3: Checking on his player, but he can't just run out there.
- 48:05Speaker 3: They have to call it an injury before he runs
- 48:07Speaker 3: out there. Stop the game of play because I don't
- 48:09Speaker 3: think the refs realized that he was down and he
- 48:12Speaker 3: was running.
- 48:12Speaker 1: Out there And Saeed Gibbs whistled for the pass interference
- 48:16Speaker 1: helped to the sideline by the training staff That play
- 48:20Speaker 1: was made possible by the fact that the Utah offensive
- 48:22Speaker 1: line gave Devin great protection.
- 48:24Speaker 3: Yeah, you know the old statement of don't throw across
- 48:27Speaker 3: your body Don't throw back across the field across your body.
- 48:30Speaker 4: But Devin does a great job right there.
- 48:31Speaker 3: He throws the ball and If he throws it high,
- 48:34Speaker 3: it's going out of the back of the end zone.
- 48:36Speaker 3: He throws it possible for Cree Whittemore to make a play,
- 48:38Speaker 3: but the defender was in the way, and rightfully so,
- 48:40Speaker 3: they get a penalty on that.
- 48:42Speaker 4: So that was just good operations. As you said, great
- 48:44Speaker 4: job by that offensive line.
- 48:45Speaker 1: They've got man-to-man coverage at the top of the formation
- 48:47Speaker 1: here on first and goal for Pagan. Otherwise, loaded up,
- 48:50Speaker 1: and they're going to hand it away to Sean Parker. Nope,
- 48:52Speaker 1: they throw it into the end zone for a touchdown. Oh,
- 48:54Speaker 1: what a great fake by Devin Dampier to a wide-open
- 48:58Speaker 1: Noah Benney. Excellent execution by Dampier. And Benny all by
- 49:04Speaker 1: himself in the north end zone for a Utah touchdown.
- 49:07Speaker 3: Man, I think that Coach McGibbon was salivating over here.
- 49:12Speaker 4: Coach getting the penalty and they're.
- 49:14Speaker 3: Getting the ball right at the six yard line and
- 49:16Speaker 3: able to run that play. That play, he's been excited
- 49:19Speaker 3: to run right there. because that was just too easy
- 49:21Speaker 3: too perfect that was an absolute perfect play the defense
- 49:24Speaker 3: was all in on that run.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Fake Third touchdown of the year. Third Pepsi touchdown of
- 49:29Speaker 1: the year for Noah Benny. Transfer from Weber State. PAT
- 49:33Speaker 1: is up and drilled through by Dylan Curtis. That looked
- 49:37Speaker 1: more like a Utah offensive drive right there. Helped out
- 49:40Speaker 1: by a couple of penalties. Seven plays, 75 yards, and 3.53
- 49:44Speaker 1: off the game clock. Timeout on the field. A bamboo
- 49:47Speaker 1: HR timeout on the field with 10.16 to play here
- 49:50Speaker 1: in the first half. Utah 21 and Kansas 7. This
- 49:53Speaker 1: is Utah football from ESPN 700. and the Ute Sports
- 49:57Speaker 1: Radio Network.
- 49:58Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Smiths
- 50:02Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 50:05Speaker 1: 21-7 Utah as we welcome you back to Rice-Eccles Stadium.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis teed up at his own 35, kicking south
- 50:12Speaker 1: to north, a little breeze at his back. This one's
- 50:14Speaker 1: high and end over end. Bryson Hayes is going to
- 50:17Speaker 1: take it about six yards deep and not bring it out.
- 50:20Speaker 1: And Kansas will start first and 10 at their own
- 50:22Speaker 1: 25-yard line. Right now, Utah... has 150 yards of total
- 50:28Speaker 1: offense and three touchdowns. Kansas has 34 yards of total offense,
- 50:32Speaker 1: and the one score came on a short field.
- 50:37Speaker 3: Right now, the thing that I'm preaching to my defense
- 50:40Speaker 3: and to my whole team, really, apply pressure. Apply pressure
- 50:45Speaker 3: to your opponents. Get him out on this three and
- 50:47Speaker 3: out right here. Offense, get the ball back. March down
- 50:49Speaker 3: the field, score again. Apply pressure to the Kansas Jayhawks.
- 50:53Speaker 1: Foreman down front for Utah as Marshall lines up in
- 50:56Speaker 1: the shotgun. Dylan Edwards next to him. They're going to
- 50:58Speaker 1: run the speed option to the outside. Edwards trying to
- 51:00Speaker 1: get to the edge. He will get there and get
- 51:02Speaker 1: cut down at about the Kansas 32-yard line. You see
- 51:05Speaker 1: that speed when he gets to the edge. Picked up seven.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Elijah Davis came up to make the tackle. Second down
- 51:10Speaker 1: and three coming up.
- 51:11Speaker 4: And that's exactly what we want.
- 51:13Speaker 3: We want to get him to the edge. But when
- 51:15Speaker 3: he gets in the open field, you've got to take
- 51:17Speaker 3: him down.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Kansas has a mismatch on the far side. They're not
- 51:21Speaker 1: going to get it there. Going to hand it off
- 51:23Speaker 1: to Dylan Edwards again. He's going to be dropped behind
- 51:25Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage this time. Jai Moe and Trey
- 51:30Speaker 1: Reynolds were there to drop him. They had a mismatch.
- 51:32Speaker 1: They had three receivers to the top and only two
- 51:34Speaker 1: men out there in coverage.
- 51:36Speaker 4: And that's the continuity on offense.
- 51:37Speaker 3: They can't see that early because they don't have that
- 51:39Speaker 3: chemistry yet. But great job by Jai Moen and Trey Reynolds,
- 51:43Speaker 3: as you said, knocking that out for a one-yard loss.
- 51:46Speaker 4: Now making the third down and three.
- 51:47Speaker 1: They're one for four on third down. Jalen Dupree checks
- 51:50Speaker 1: in for the first time here for the Jayhawks. Third
- 51:52Speaker 1: down and three. from their own 32. Isaiah Marshall backpedals
- 51:56Speaker 1: the throw. Utah bringing pressure. Down the field they go.
- 51:59Speaker 1: Overshoots him incomplete. It's exactly what we said they should do.
- 52:03Speaker 1: Play man on the outside. Make him make tough throws.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Couldn't do it. Cam Pickett was the intended receiver for
- 52:09Speaker 1: the Jayhawks. Fourth down coming up.
- 52:11Speaker 4: Great job right there. It was man coverage.
- 52:13Speaker 3: Trey Reynolds comes in. It looks like a blitz, but
- 52:15Speaker 3: he's not blitzing. He just has the green dock. He
- 52:18Speaker 3: has the running back who is blocking, and so he goes.
- 52:20Speaker 4: And takes him up there.
- 52:21Speaker 3: You're getting one-on-ones on the other side. forcing Isaiah Marshall
- 52:25Speaker 3: to throw the ball downfield.
- 52:26Speaker 1: Watch the fake here if you're Utah. Kansas may pull something.
- 52:29Speaker 1: In fact, they're pointing right now like there might be
- 52:31Speaker 1: something there. Mata Carvalho back to receive this punt. Rugby-style
- 52:36Speaker 1: kick is away. It's high and it's end-over-end. Mata's going
- 52:39Speaker 1: to come up and fair catch it at about the
- 52:41Speaker 1: 27-yard line. And that's where Utah will take over first
- 52:44Speaker 1: down and 10 with 9-11 to play. The defense has
- 52:47Speaker 1: been good so far. Great, right?
- 52:49Speaker 4: They had 30 total yards.
- 52:51Speaker 3: In that first quarter right there, of course, with that
- 52:53Speaker 3: short field, they had three yards onto it. So this
- 52:56Speaker 3: Kansas offense only has less than 40 yards of total
- 52:59Speaker 3: offense so far in this game. Absolutely stellar job by
- 53:03Speaker 3: this defense. A lot of possessions by our offense here
- 53:06Speaker 3: in that first quarter. And now here, this is our
- 53:08Speaker 3: sixth possession already in this football game with nine minutes
- 53:11Speaker 3: left to go in.
- 53:12Speaker 4: The second quarter.
- 53:13Speaker 1: First and 10, Utah from their own 27, leading at
- 53:15Speaker 1: 21-7 here with 9-11 to play. Dylan, make it to
- 53:19Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker. He's in the ballgame here with Devin Dampier.
- 53:25Speaker 1: Devin's going to throw. In-cutting route complete. 35-37 yard line.
- 53:30Speaker 1: Gain of almost 10. They'll give him 10. Creed Whittemore
- 53:32Speaker 1: was all by himself. That ball's a little bit further
- 53:35Speaker 1: out in front of him. He might still be running.
- 53:37Speaker 3: Yeah, but they have guys in the lane right there.
- 53:39Speaker 3: That's great action on the RPO game.
- 53:40Speaker 4: Now they're going to hurry up.
- 53:41Speaker 1: Utah going to hurry up. They throw the ball to
- 53:43Speaker 1: the outside. It's complete out there. That's complete. The Braden
- 53:46Speaker 1: Pagan beyond the 40 to about the 42. Almost 43
- 53:47Speaker 1: yard line. That's a long throw for Devin Dampier to make,
- 53:53Speaker 1: and he picks up six on the play.
- 53:55Speaker 3: Six yards on first down, you're winning right there. That's
- 53:58Speaker 3: a great job. That's what you do. You stretch this
- 54:00Speaker 3: defense out to make them have to defend the edges
- 54:04Speaker 3: a little bit more aggressively, and that opens up the middle.
- 54:07Speaker 4: So watch him hit these edges right here and then
- 54:10Speaker 4: go back to the run with Rayshon up the middle.
- 54:12Speaker 1: Devin's thrown for 80 yards and a touchdown. Bird fickling
- 54:15Speaker 1: in the ballgame this time for Utah. They bring him
- 54:19Speaker 1: into the backfield with Wayshon Parker. They're going to hand
- 54:21Speaker 1: that ball. On the outside, Devin keeps it. Pitch is
- 54:25Speaker 1: now to Bird Ficklin. Out of bounds at the Kansas
- 54:28Speaker 1: 41-yard line. Razzle dazzle between the two quarterbacks. Kyrie Scholes
- 54:33Speaker 1: with a heck of a block down the field for
- 54:35Speaker 1: Utah as they pick up another Ivory Holmes first down.
- 54:38Speaker 3: Is that like a quadruple option is what you would
- 54:41Speaker 3: call it? Hand it off, keep it, throw it. Just
- 54:45Speaker 3: the late pitch right there. That is just so hard
- 54:48Speaker 3: to defend if you're a defense.
- 54:51Speaker 1: From the Kansas 41 yard line. Now we've got officials
- 54:54Speaker 1: running in here. What do we got going on? We're
- 54:57Speaker 1: going to have a review of some sort. They brought
- 54:59Speaker 1: the review out on the field. Let's see what Mike
- 55:01Speaker 1: McCabe says.
- 55:02Speaker 6: Really on the field, the backwards pass, the previous play
- 55:05Speaker 6: is under review.
- 55:06Speaker 1: I don't think that was a forward pass at all,
- 55:08Speaker 1: do you?
- 55:09Speaker 3: No.
- 55:10Speaker 1: That was either lateraled up the line or behind him
- 55:13Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 55:13Speaker 3: And it has to be so convincing to overturn that.
- 55:16Speaker 3: That is something that.
- 55:17Speaker 4: Well, one, you've got to do it.
- 55:18Speaker 1: Well, here's the replay again. Devin gets to the outside.
- 55:22Speaker 4: At the 47, where does Bird catch it?
- 55:25Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's behind him.
- 55:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 55:29Speaker 4: Yeah, he's pitching it backwards. Bird catches it about the 46th.
- 55:35Speaker 1: He throws it back. And then Bird's momentum carries him forward.
- 55:41Speaker 1: That was a backwards pass.
- 55:44Speaker 4: That's too close. For me, that's fine. I've seen way worse.
- 55:49Speaker 1: That was, by the way, instituted by the booth again.
- 55:52Speaker 1: That was another booth review by the Big 12 officials
- 55:56Speaker 1: upstairs because McCabe and his crew were not looking at that.
- 55:59Speaker 4: Anybody on the field is not going to be able
- 56:00Speaker 4: to see that. That is way too close.
- 56:02Speaker 3: That does not look like it's... Especially with The way
- 56:05Speaker 3: that Devin Dampier and Bert Finkel are running downfield, to
- 56:08Speaker 3: catch that from the sidelines would be hard.
- 56:10Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that that's a forward pass, but
- 56:13Speaker 1: we're going to see what Mike McCabe says after reviewing this.
- 56:16Speaker 3: Because Bert catches it behind him, too. Bert's trying to
- 56:20Speaker 3: have his forward momentum, but catch it behind him, too.
- 56:23Speaker 3: He catches that about the 46.5, 47, which to me
- 56:25Speaker 3: is definitely considered a backwards pass.
- 56:29Speaker 4: Tossed at the 47 and caught.
- 56:33Speaker 1: At the 48, I'm not so sure. We'll see, though.
- 56:38Speaker 1: Review is over. We're going to hear from Mike McCabe here.
- 56:41Speaker 1: See what he says. I'd be surprised if this play
- 56:43Speaker 1: doesn't stand.
- 56:48Speaker 4: We've seen crazier things.
- 56:51Speaker 1: That was a fun play, though. Either way, that was
- 56:53Speaker 1: a really fun play. Here's McCabe.
- 56:56Speaker 4: After review, it.
- 56:56Speaker 6: Was confirmed that the quarterback was beyond the line of
- 56:59Speaker 6: scrimmage when he threw the pass. This results in a
- 57:03Speaker 6: legal forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage.
- 57:04Speaker 4: Lost it down. Third down.
- 57:11Speaker 1: I just don't see that as a forward pass. But
- 57:16Speaker 1: they saw it, and that's where the play stands. And
- 57:21Speaker 1: the fact, too, that Ficklin had to hold up for
- 57:24Speaker 1: just a second to catch that ball. Okay.
- 57:27Speaker 3: Okay.
- 57:28Speaker 4: Yeah, it's floating. And so, well, anyway, they reviewed it.
- 57:31Speaker 4: It came from the booth.
- 57:32Speaker 3: So they must have saw something. But I would have
- 57:35Speaker 3: called that to the offense. But I am Utah fan
- 57:40Speaker 3: as well. So there's my mindset on that. But you're
- 57:44Speaker 3: not there.
- 57:46Speaker 1: They'll move that ball back to where? I believe the
- 57:49Speaker 1: 42-yard line. Is that where it will go down? I
- 57:51Speaker 1: think it'll be second down and six here at about
- 57:53Speaker 1: the 42-yard line. Third down? Is it a loss of down?
- 57:56Speaker 4: Loss of down. So it should be third down.
- 57:59Speaker 1: I think that's what Morgan Scali is asking right now
- 58:01Speaker 1: to the officiating crew.
- 58:02Speaker 4: So what down is it? Yeah, it's third down.
- 58:06Speaker 1: Okay, third down and six.
- 58:07Speaker 4: Pagan had that six-yard gain, lost it down here.
- 58:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 58:11Speaker 1: One out of three on third down of the Utes.
- 58:13Speaker 1: They've got to get to the 48-yard line, their own
- 58:15Speaker 1: 48-yard line, to keep this drive alive. Well, that's a
- 58:21Speaker 1: shame because that was one heck of a fun play
- 58:23Speaker 1: that Kevin McGiven dialed up right there with his two quarterbacks.
- 58:28Speaker 1: Parker in the backfield with Dampier. Four man down front
- 58:32Speaker 1: here for Kansas on third down and six yards to go.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Whittemore goes in motion, delayed blitz. He's going to take
- 58:38Speaker 1: a shot down the field. Devin Dampier up looking for
- 58:41Speaker 1: Pagan incomplete. That'll bring up fourth down. Pagan had a
- 58:45Speaker 1: step on the defender on the far side, but he
- 58:47Speaker 1: got overshot on that pass by Devin Dampier. That'll bring
- 58:49Speaker 1: up fourth down and the punt team will come out.
- 58:51Speaker 3: You did. It was a great job because when you
- 58:53Speaker 3: put it on the outside shoulder right there where only
- 58:55Speaker 3: your receiver can get it, but Pagan was just two
- 58:58Speaker 3: steps too short.
- 59:00Speaker 4: On that play right there would have been a big
- 59:01Speaker 4: chunk play It's not a.
- 59:03Speaker 1: Touchdown Tate Nagy the son of Matt Nagy the New
- 59:07Speaker 1: York Giants offensive coordinator stands at his own tenure line.
- 59:12Speaker 1: He averages almost 18 yards a return this year for Kansas.
- 59:15Speaker 1: Has a touchdown at a punt return, too. Orion Phillips
- 59:18Speaker 1: on to punt it for Utah. It's a good punt
- 59:21Speaker 1: by Orion. High and wobbly and toward the sideline and
- 59:25Speaker 1: just into the end zone. Let's see. No! They're going
- 59:28Speaker 1: to mark it out at the one-yard line.
- 59:30Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
- 59:31Speaker 1: That is the epitome of the old coffin corner by
- 59:34Speaker 1: Orion Phillips. What a punt.
- 59:36Speaker 4: Pat yourself on the back, kid.
- 59:38Speaker 3: Holy smokes.
- 59:40Speaker 1: 57-yard punt and no return with a timeout on the field.
- 59:45Speaker 1: A heck of a punt and effort by the Utah
- 59:47Speaker 1: special teams led by Orion Phillips. Our first half being
- 59:51Speaker 1: brought to you by Pepsi and Smith's. Pepsi was made
- 59:55Speaker 1: for you to watch.
- 59:56Speaker 6: Personal foul. Face mask. Kicking team. That 15-yard point. Important
- 1:00:02Speaker 6: force from the end of the line. First down.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: Well, I didn't see the hanky on the field, and
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: that's going to be 15. So instead of starting at
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: the 1, the Kansas Jayhawks, when we get back, will
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: start at their own 16-yard line. Timeout on the field.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: A Bamboo HR timeout. 21-7 Utes with 7.28 to play
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: here in the first half. It's Utah football from ESPN
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: 700 and the Utes Sports Radio Network.
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
- 1:00:30Speaker 5: HR on ESPN 700 and the Utes Sports Network.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: 7.28 to play here in the first half. Utah leads
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: at 21-7. Now Isaiah Marshall and the Jayhawks have to
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: deal with the north end zone. It's loud. And this
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: stadium is filled in nicely. Jalen Dupree, the tailback. Four
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: receivers on first and ten for the 16-yard line. They
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: bring Pickett in motion. They hand that ball to Pickett
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: out on the edge, and he's going to pick up
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: about four yards, almost five to the 21. That's a
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: very kind spot if they give him the 21-yard line.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: Jackson Benny made the tackle. I'm not sure he got there,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: but they give him five, second down and five coming up.
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: It is, and this to me is what I've seen
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: on film from them. This is their offense.
- 1:01:12Speaker 4: It's on the edges.
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: If they can get anything on the edges... That's what
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: they're trying to get going right there. Spread your defense
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: out and then try to hit an RPO right behind it.
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: The defense got to stay disciplined, stay on their keys,
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: and knock that out.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: Clock running as we dip under seven to play here
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: in the first half. Second down and five, Kansas. Marshall's
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: going to keep it out on the edge. Isaiah Marshall.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: He's going to be stacked up behind the line of
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: scrimmage and drop back at the 20-yard line. They're going
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: to give him the 21. Trey Reynolds made the tackle.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: I'm not sure I agree with that spot either. That's
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: the original line of scrimmage, so he'll lose five on
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: the play. Third down and ten. Or make it, I'm sorry,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: third down and five coming up. He gets back to
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Looked like they had him back
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: at about the 19.
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: Yeah, but again, as I said, this is their offense.
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: This is what they want to do. They want to
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: use their speed.
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: They have dynamic speed in those skill positions as far
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: as the quarterback as well.
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: Get on the edges and stretch the defense.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: One for five on third down to the Jayhawks. Marshall
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: by himself in the backfield. Three receivers, two tight ends.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Marshall rolls to his right, looks down the field, pressured, throwing, outside, incomplete,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: nearly sacked. Oh, they had him in the backfield. I
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: think that was Cash Dillon who had him. It was.
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: Couldn't quite get him to the ground, but he forced
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: that incompletion in a three and out for the Utah defense.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: Clock stopped at 6.03 to play here in the first half.
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely love it.
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: Lance Holsquah, Cash Dillon, Paul Fitzgerald, those guys are going
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: to have to have a big game tonight and staying
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: around the quarterback, of course. We want to get those sacks,
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: but making sure that Isaiah Marshall can't extend the play with.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: His legs is huge. Putter on again, another rugby-style kick.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Carvalho's going to drift back to find it, and fair
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: catch it. No, he's going to let it hit. Aw,
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: that was a bad decision.
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: Well, honestly....
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: Goes all the way back to about the 13 yard
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: line you just got to come up and catch that.
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: He can't our defender and their defender were kind of
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: in the way if he does force the issue and
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: run into their guy you can get that but in
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: case he doesn't get that call i don't think he
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: felt confident enough to catch.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: That ball 66 yard punt that's no return it's huge
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: i get it on the other side of that but
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: i would take that over a muff punt absolutely It's
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: going to be about an 86-yard field as Utah starts
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: at their own 14-yard line. Have not seen Way Sean
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Parker involved much recently.
- 1:03:37Speaker 4: Well, that's credit to Kansas.
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: Kansas has done a great job of stacking up the
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: run on those counters.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: Devin goes under center on first down and 10. He
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: brings Daniel Bray in motion across the formation. Hands it
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: to Way Sean Parker, who gets to the line of
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: scrimmage and gets stacked up, and that's it. Kansas does
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: a nice job of stacking him up at the line.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: Eamon Smalls made the tackle.
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: Yeah, and here's the thing.
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: They got athletes, too, so we can't just expect that
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: we're just going to run over everybody. But they're doing
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: a great job right there, stalemating at the line of scrimmage,
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: getting off the block, and making a play on Wayshon Parker.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Second down and 10 as Devin backs up into the
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: shotgun this time. He's got Wayshon Parker next to him.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: Three receivers of the pattern for Utah, four down linemen
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: for Kansas as Devin surveys the defense. Now he's going
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: to bring Bray across the formation in motion again, orbiting
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: back in again. High snap, Devon looks, throws, complete. That's
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: going to be a short gain of about four to
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: the 18-yard line. Braden Pagan as we dip under five
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: to play. That is a great job. I love that
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: orbit motion.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: It's like a 9-7-3 concept right there.
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: You've got to sit somebody right down.
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: As the defense is worried about the orbit motion, you
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: send a seven-round and a sit-down guy. And Devin Demp
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: here is just able to choose which one he wants
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: to throw to.
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: Utah's only one for four on third down. They've got
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: to pick up six right here with an empty backfield.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: Devin stands by himself. Kansas again showing just a four-man rush.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: Back pedals to pass. He's got a little pressure. Down
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: the middle he goes.
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: Caught.
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: That's going to be first down yardage beyond the 30.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: Out to about the 34-yard line goes Braden Pagan again.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: That's a 16-yard pitch and catch and an Ivory Holmes
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: first down.
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: Great job. Again, look at this offensive line.
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: Giving him time in the pocket to find Braden Pagan
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: over the middle. That's four or five seconds on the offense.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: He's now 11 of 13. He'll pass again on first down.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: Lots of time for Devin. Throws. Incomplete. And there comes
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: a flag. It's going to be pass interference as he
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: tried to get it to Pagan again. Flag comes in
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: from behind that time. As the Jayhawk defender, Roman Pearson,
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: got a little handsy there on Braden Pagan.
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: And I know as Utah, we want to establish the run,
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: but that pass is there.
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: Pass interference.
- 1:05:56Speaker 6: Defense number five. The ball be played to the spot
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: of the foul. Automatic first down.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Spot of the foul is right about the 45-yard line,
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: so that's where Utah will get it first and 10.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Clock stopped at 358 to play. Utah leading at 21-7 here.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: Would love to get some points before halftime. Kansas will
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: get the football coming out of the locker room.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: Yeah, as I said, the pass is there right now.
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: We're doing a great job with pass protection. He's given
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: Devin ample time. Define receivers.
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: Keep it up.
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker in the backfield with Devin Dampier. They
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: shift two tight ends to the left-hand side. Twins on
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: the right-hand side on first down and ten. Wide receiver
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: in motion. Fake the pop pass. Dampier goes straight ahead
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: and picks up. Calling about three out to the 48-yard line.
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: Kevin Otis made the tackle for Kansas. Short game for Devin.
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: And second down and seven coming up. Utah can just
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: take their time here. Want to give Kansas the ball back.
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to feel rushed in plays either.
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: So make sure you make the right play, the right substitution.
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: They're getting a good package, substitution package in here now
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: with Burt Finklin. And so let's just see how they
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: operate here on the last three minutes of this.
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: Empty backfield. Finklin lined up as a receiver. Devin takes
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: a high snap, scrambles away from some pressure, throwing down
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: the field, looking down the field and incomplete. And the
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: referee throws his hat. I think that's going to serve
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: as his flag. That might be pass interference on Kansas.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: There's like five flags.
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: There's laundry all over the place. I think we're going
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: to have a hold on Utah as well.
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: Four different calls.
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: They're all over the place.
- 1:07:26Speaker 4: I looked down the field.
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: There were three flags on this side, that side, in
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: the middle of the field, and now there's.
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: Another one in the back. They're everywhere.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: We have got laundry all over the place. Here's what
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you. It's not all on one team.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: We're going to play this one over again.
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: Right, right, right.
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: They're going to offset. Here's Mike McCabe to sort it
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: all out.
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: They're fouled by both teams on the play.
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: Holding.
- 1:07:52Speaker 6: Offense number 79. Illegal substitution. 12 players on the field
- 1:07:57Speaker 6: by the defense.
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: Pass interference.
- 1:08:00Speaker 6: Defense number 9. All these penalties offset. Replay second down.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: See, I've never understood that part of football. Why all
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: of those offset. If 2-1, you should be able to
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: take the difference in yardage or whatever you want to say.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: Either way. That's a different discussion for a different day
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: when we have our roundtable on football rules. It'll be
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: second down and seven again here for Utah, their own
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: 48-yard line.
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: Well, my thing is, if it's 12 people on the field,
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: I feel like that should be.
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: Almost like an offside and a free play.
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: Anything that we do should not be counted for. That's
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: my opinion. And you should at least take that at
- 1:08:34Speaker 4: the end of the day.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: Well, we'll sort it all out and go back to
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: second down and seven again. Wayshawn Parker and Devin Dampier
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: lined up in the backfield. Now they'll motion Devin out.
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: Wayshawn the Wildcat back. Oh, here comes Bird Ficklin.
- 1:08:45Speaker 4: That's a bad substitution. We might have to take a timeout. That's, yeah.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Yeah, timeout taken by Utah.
- 1:08:53Speaker 6: First charge timeout, Utah.
- 1:08:56Speaker 4: And if anybody knows the substitution gap, it's Morgan. Scali.
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: Take advantage of that right there, because that definitely would
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: have set us back.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: 3.20 to play, first half, 21-7 Utah. It's 21-7. This
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: game feels like it's more like about 28 or 35-7.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: Utah has been its own worst enemy on some of
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: these drives, but if they could punch seven in here
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: or get some more points before halftime You'd feel really
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: good going to the locker room.
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: That's what I talked about at the beginning of the year,
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: averaging 14 points a quarter, right?
- 1:09:27Speaker 4: Definitely possible for this team.
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: And getting 28 points in the first half, it'll be
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: right on schedule.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: You've got Ficklin in at quarterback. Dampier split wide left.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: Parker in the backfield. Bray lined up as a wide receiver.
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: And Hunter Andrews in the right slot. This one should
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: be interesting on second down and seven. They bring Daniel
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: Bray in motion. Ficklin. going to keep it himself. Bird
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: threw a hole into Kansas territory beyond the 45 and
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: down to the Kansas 40-yard line goes Bird Ficklin. That's
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: a gain on the play. That's a big gain on
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: the play. That's a gain of 12 yards and a
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: first down. That's Ivory Holmes' first down.
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: That's one of these things that Coach McKibben's going to
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: have to notice as well is they're not really guarding
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: Devin Dampier that wide. They understand it's going to be
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: a run play, so that corner's really not guarding Devin Dampier.
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: Burr Feiglin can turn around and throw that ball to
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: Devin Dampier.
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: Down the sideline.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Clock running at 249, 248, 247. A play first down
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: Utah at the Kansas 40-yard line. The one thing you
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: can't take here is a negative play if you're Devin
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: Dampier in Utah. Devin lined up in the shotgun. He
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: brings Creed Whittemore in motion. Devin takes the snap. Play
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: action pass. Plenty of time to throw. Surveys the field
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: over the middle. It's caught and dropped. Tried to get
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: that ball to Pagan. It was a little low at
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: about the Kansas 35-yard line. That'll bring up second down
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: at 10 o'clock. Stop with 2.29 to play here in
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: the first half.
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: It's taking what you can get right there. The two
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: deep routes, that was supposed to be a big chunk
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: play we were going after right there, but it was
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: guarded pretty well. They had a post safety, and the
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: corners were playing over the top, so that was just
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: not open. Brandon Pagan working back towards the quarterback was
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: a good option right there.
- 1:11:04Speaker 4: Just a little swing and a miss. As you said,
- 1:11:06Speaker 4: the pass was a little low.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: Second down at 10, Kansas 40, Parker in the backfield.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: Foreman down front for the Jayhawks. Daniel Bray comes in motion.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: Parker looking to throw. Megan Dampier looking to throw over
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: the middle. Complete. Short game. Found Ricky Johnson inside the
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: 35 down to about the 33. That'll be a gain
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: of seven. And Utah can take it to the two-minute
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: timeout if they want to here. And I think that's
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: exactly what they'll do. It'll be third down and three.
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: Devin Dampier stands with his hands on his hip. That's
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: a good dad stance. He's kind of got that dad
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: stance going with the hands on the hip, and that
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: will take us to the two-minute timeout here at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: Two minutes to play in the first half. Two-minute timeout.
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: Two-minute timeout brought to you by Bamboo HR. Utah 21,
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: Kansas 7. This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 1:11:58Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Pepsi
- 1:12:01Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: Two minutes to play here at Rice-Eckel Stadium. The first half,
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Utah 21, Kansas 7. Utes facing a third and three
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: at the Jayhawk 33-yard line. So they face a third
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: down and three to the Utes at the Kansas 33-yard line.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: As I said, feels like four-down territory for Utah, especially
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: the way your defense has been playing.
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: I take advantage of this opportunity score again. What we
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: were talking about before.
- 1:12:29Speaker 4: A fly pressure.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: Way Sean and the Wildcat here. Devin Dampier will motion
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: back into the backfield. Way Sean moves to his left
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: on third down and three. Devin's going to keep it himself.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Straight ahead. Oh, he is met and just dropped at
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Goodness gracious. David Santiago absolutely hammered him.
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: Now decision time for Morgan Scali and Kevin McGiven. They're
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: going to keep the offense out there.
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: Great job with the.
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: Ooh, Santiago made a heck of a play.
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: Yeah, that was... You know, Morgan might take some time
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: so they can look at this, maybe.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: Helmet to helmet.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: Clock running at 90 seconds, and the play clock at 15.
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: These defensive fronts played great. They've done a good job
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: of holding the front down against this good offensive line
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: and Rayshon Parker.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: Utah might have to take a timeout here. The play
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: clock's down at 4, down at 3, down at 2,
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: and that's exactly what they're going to do.
- 1:13:25Speaker 6: Second charge timeout, Utah, 30 seconds.
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: I like the idea of keeping that ball in Devin
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: Dampier's hands.
- 1:13:34Speaker 4: That was just a great job.
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: They had a stunt on the defensive front, and that
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: brought the defensive end back.
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: Around, and he was right there.
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: That's the second big play Santiago's made tonight. He was
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: the one that stripped the ball and recovered the fumble
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: that Devin Dampier had earlier in the ballgame. He's a
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: good player, David Santiago, a transfer from Michigan State. He
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: played his first two years at Air Force. He's having
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: a nice year this year for Kansas. As you said, too,
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: that defensive front's good for the Jayhawks.
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: Yeah, they're playing outstanding tonight. We knew that coming in, right?
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: These guys do a great job. This is what I'm saying.
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: The pass is there for us. We've got to take
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: advantage of it while we're trying to apply pressure.
- 1:14:10Speaker 4: And then when we're putting the game away, that's when
- 1:14:11Speaker 4: you put in your four-minute offense.
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: Big man. Semitao Longa in the right slot. Devin Dampier
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: in the shotgun with way Sean Parker two receivers, one left,
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: one right here on 4th down and three from the
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: Kansas 33 yard line. Now they motion Creed Whittemore out
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: of the backfield. The timeout taken here by Kansas.
- 1:14:33Speaker 6: First charge timeout Kansas. 30 seconds.
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: I know the fans don't like it, but that's a
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: smart timeout. They didn't like the look they had. Utah
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: had a better look. Maybe you're trying to look at
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: what Utah's like. This is the chess match at the
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: end of the half. This is huge, first of all, folks.
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: At the end of the half, to either be down
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: by two scores or go down by three scores is huge.
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: And so Leipold's doing a great job right here at understanding, like, okay,
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: Utah's trying to see exactly where they're at, and we're
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: going to take a timeout after we see them.
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: But this... This is where the.
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: Chess match gets interesting is how does Coach McGibbon change
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: up that play, change up that look off of what
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: he was just about to win.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Here we go. Fourth down and three from the Kansas
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: 33-yard line. Devin Dampieric, quarterback. Four receivers flexed out to
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: the right. Now they bring Wayshawn Parker to the left-hand side.
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: It's an empty backfield look for the Utes. Kansas going
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: to rush four. Devin drops to pass, looking and surveying,
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: stepping up, throwing, and now he'll take a sack, and
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: the ball comes out, and Utah recovers, but it doesn't matter.
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: The one thing you couldn't do on fourth and three,
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: Utah just did. Blake Harreld made the play for Kansas,
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: and that's going to give the ball back to the
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: Jayhawks with a minute nine to play.
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: That was just decision-making right there. Something that he didn't
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: anticipate came open, and then it closed, and then He
- 1:16:06Speaker 3: wanted to do something else. It was kind of like
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: you just got to pick one. Pick one and go,
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: especially on fourth down and short. You got to make
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: that decision and, you know, just be confident with it.
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: And he didn't and made him hold the ball longer.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: It almost felt like they were looking for a big
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: play there more than they were looking for something short
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: for the first down. Here's Isaiah Marshall in Kansas. They've
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: got it with two timeouts from their own 34-yard line.
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: Down 21-7. Empty back heel here for Marshall. He's going
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: to throw the flanker screen to the outside. He's got
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: his tail back. That's Dylan Edwards who scoots out across
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: the 35 to about the 36 for a two-yard gain.
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: Good job by Cyrus Polo at shedding the blocker right there.
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: But again, Dylan Edwards has elite speed right there, so
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: you cannot get out-leveraged by him. If he's wide, you
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: need to be wide and make sure that blocker doesn't
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: get and force him back to the inside to the caliber.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: Five seconds go off the game clock. It's a minute
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: four to play now on second down and eight. Edwards
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: stays in the ballgame this time in the backfield. Three
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: receivers in the pattern here for Kansas on second down
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: and eight. Marshall's going to throw. Utah rushing four. Lots
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: of time outside. Complete to the 39 and drop there. Inbounds.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: Cam Pickett stays. About four yards shy of the first down.
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: They get five yards shy of the first down.
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: 39.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: That'll bring up third down. And Kansas takes a timeout there.
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: Second with 56 seconds to play.
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: Yeah, great job right there by Jackson.
- 1:17:28Speaker 6: Second charge.
- 1:17:28Speaker 4: Timeout.
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: Kansas.
- 1:17:31Speaker 4: That's exactly what we talk about, about tackling the catch, right?
- 1:17:34Speaker 6: Game clock operator, please put 59 seconds on the game clock.
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: As soon as he caught that ball, he was down
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: on the ground, down inside, forcing Kansas to take that timeout.
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: I like Kansas taking that timeout over us.
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: So that's great. But that was a great job by
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: Jackson getting a tackle on the catch.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: Looking ahead here, but if you can get a stop
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: here and get him off the field, you're going to
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: get the ball back with just under a minute to
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: play if you're Utah. It'd be great if you could
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: get an incompletion so you don't have to use that
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: time out of your own. But the big thing is, first,
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: you've got to get the stop.
- 1:18:05Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got to do that. And for me, I
- 1:18:08Speaker 4: know Zach Moss was talking in the pregame about keeping
- 1:18:12Speaker 4: him contained. I bring a little pressure on him. They
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: can force the issue.
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: So third down and five. Jayhawks one for six on
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: third down. Got to get to their own 44 to
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: keep the drive alive. They're down to one timeout remaining
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: and 59 seconds to play before halftime. Dupree the tailback.
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: Four receivers in the pattern here for Kansas. Utah showing pressure.
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: Here they come. Marshall fires complete. 50-45 and down to
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: the Utah 44-yard line goes Cam Pickett. Best throw of
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: the night there by Isaiah Marshall when he needed it.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: And it's a first down. And the Jayhawks keep the
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: drive alive. Clock continues to run now. 53 seconds Marshall
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: to pass again firing down the middle caught 15 and
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: down to the Utah 11 Jackson Benny gambled didn't come
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: up with it and it's a big play just inside
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: the 10 you make it just inside the 15 yard
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: line to the 11th Just like that in two plays,
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: Kansas gets all the way to the Utah 12-yard line.
- 1:19:12Speaker 6: Personal foul. Roughing the passer. Defense number 51. Half the
- 1:19:16Speaker 6: distance to the goal. Automatic first down.
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: So it goes from the 12 to the 6 now.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: First and goal, Carson Kafusi whistled for the roughing the passer.
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: And the Jayhawks are going to get points out of
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: this drive in all likelihood now after Utah failed on
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: the fourth down at the other end. Here we go.
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: First down and goal for the Utah Six for Isaiah Marshall.
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: He's got Dupree in the backfield. Three receivers left, one
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: to the right. Marshall going to keep it himself. Marshall
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: to the five. Marshall to the goal line. Touchdown. What
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: a change in momentum here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah doesn't
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: convert on fourth down. Kansas five plays later down the
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: field scores a touchdown, and we've got a one-score game.
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: This, to me, goes back to Leipold's timeout on Utah's
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: fourth down right there. You go from possibly going down
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: 28 to 7 to now going down by 7 points here,
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: 21 to possibly 14 here.
- 1:20:19Speaker 4: That's huge.
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: Five plays, 66 yards in 27 seconds. Two huge plays.
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: The PAT by Connington up and good. It's 21-14 with
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: 42 seconds to play before halftime. And remember... Kansas gets
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: the football coming out of the locker room.
- 1:20:38Speaker 4: Yeah, but this tells you how important every single moment is.
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: We talked about it, right? This game feels like it
- 1:20:44Speaker 4: should be way wider than it should be.
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: Not anymore.
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: Not after that last drive.
- 1:20:51Speaker 4: But Kansas' points.
- 1:20:52Speaker 3: Come off, of course, you know, one minute left in
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: the half, and then that short field seven yards after
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: the turnover.
- 1:20:58Speaker 4: It seems like it's just issues that we're doing ourselves, right?
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: And, one, you've got to come in– Kansas' defensive line,
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: I absolutely love how they've played this game. They've played
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: exactly how you need them to play. But Utah's lapse
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: in aggressiveness, this is what we talked about in the pregame,
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: is can we keep that aggressiveness for 60 minutes?
- 1:21:17Speaker 4: We see it come in spurts right here.
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: We needed consistent aggressiveness from this team, and that comes
- 1:21:23Speaker 3: from the focus and execution by the players.
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: Daniel Gray back to receive this kick. Neither teams had
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: much of an opportunity to return kicks tonight. It's been
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: all touchbacks. A very stiff south wind in the face
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: of the Kansas kick team here. 42 seconds before halftime.
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: It's a seven-point game now here in Salt Lake City.
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: Line drive kick. That's going to be a touchback as
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: it goes out of the back of the end zone.
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: 42 seconds and a timeout here for Devin Dampier. Wind
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: at the back of his kicker, Dylan Curtis. So there's
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: a chance for Utah to get some points, but they're
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: going to have to hit for some big plays.
- 1:22:05Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's totally possible.
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: As fast as Kansas went down the football field, you
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: know this Utah offense can't. But again, it's all about execution, right,
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: and decision making. And can you make this happen? And
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: we have the elite speed and talent.
- 1:22:19Speaker 4: On this football team to do that.
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: Utah probably needs about 30 yards, maybe 35 to get
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: in the field goal range of Dylan Curtis. First and 10,
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: Dampier to pass. Lots of time looking, looking down the field,
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: throwing one up, looking for Braden Pagan, and is it intercepted?
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: It's intercepted by Kansas at the Jayhawk 36-yard line. Devin
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: just threw a YOLO ball up, and it was intercepted.
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: He tried to squeeze that into Braden Pagan. And it
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: is intercepted instead by Jalen Todd. Oh, goodness. This has
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: gone from bad to worse here, Sly.
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and that ball was just short. Brandon Pagan had
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: to step on the defender. You lead him out there,
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: and he can run under it. But I don't know
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: if the wind affected that. As you said, the wind's
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: blowing to the southwest. That's against the wind, so it
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: probably caught some air. The ruling on the field is
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: interception by the defense.
- 1:23:18Speaker 6: The previous play is on the replay review.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: We'll take a look at it. Everybody on the field
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: seemed to think that was interception by Jalen Todd. The
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: only question is, did that ball somehow squirt out and
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: hit the ground?
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: Yeah, but as I said, he's throwing into the wind
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: right there, and so he caught that, but that ball
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: was very short.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: Here's a look at it again on replay. Pagan's trying
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: to find it. Yeah, I think that's an interception. He
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: cradles the ball and his arms hit the ground, but
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: I don't think the ball ever does.
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: Yeah, he, like, pushes it against his face, man, as
- 1:23:55Speaker 4: he keeps his head up. So I don't think, yeah,
- 1:23:57Speaker 4: he was under that ball. It's unfortunate.
- 1:24:01Speaker 3: Again, how you end the half is huge, and I
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: know Morgan Scali is going to have something about that because, one,
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: how you end the half leads into momentum into the
- 1:24:09Speaker 3: locker room and how you come out in that third quarter,
- 1:24:11Speaker 3: and this is not a great way to end this
- 1:24:13Speaker 3: second quarter.
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: Second Devin Dampier turnover tonight. He's got the interception and
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: the fumble earlier. The fumble led directly to a touchdown.
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: Kansas has one timeout. And they're probably going to need
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: themselves to get into field goal range a good 25
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: to 30 yards. But remember, they scored in 27 seconds
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: on their last drive. They've got 34 right now on
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: the game clock. Here's Mike McCabe.
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: After review, the.
- 1:24:41Speaker 6: Ruling on the field of an interception by the defense
- 1:24:43Speaker 6: is upheld. First down, Kansas.
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: Be interesting to hear what Morgan Scali has to say
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: with Zach Moss as he comes off the field here.
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: Utah was in complete control of this game about five
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: minutes ago. Now it feels like all the momentum is
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: shifted to the Kansas side and there's no juice in
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: this building right now. And the Jayhawks have it first
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: and 10 at their own 36 yard line. Jalen Dupree,
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: the tailback. Zeke Marshall, the quarterback. Three wide receivers. Pickett
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: comes in motion. Utah bringing pressure. Kansas picks it up.
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: Marshall's got time. He's going to scramble to the outside.
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: Got a man in his face. He's going to heave
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: it down the field, and it is.
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: Caught. It is caught.
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: Nick McMillan comes up with the catch at the Utah
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: 28-yard line. What a catch. What a throw by Marshall.
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: They go quickly. Marshall again, pumping, looking, throwing.
- 1:25:41Speaker 4: Over the middle, tipped in.
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: Nearly intercepted. John Uhal got his hand on it. The
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: clock will stop with 16 seconds to play here before halftime.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: Utah is completely on their heels right now.
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: They're a bit shell-shocked right now, but that big play,
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: I don't know how he got that in there.
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: There were two Utes that had a crack at Marshall
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: and couldn't get him down to the ground.
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: And that's the thing. You get him, you got to
- 1:26:05Speaker 4: get him down. As I said, he can't throw the ball.
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: He's just inconsistent.
- 1:26:09Speaker 4: But the time is you give him time, you give
- 1:26:11Speaker 4: him opportunity. He's going to make the throw.
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: Debris the tailback. Second and 10 from the Utah 28.
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: 16 seconds to play before halftime. Marshall going to keep
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: it himself. Marshall out on the edge. Marshall trying to
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: get to the out-of-bounds marker and does, but he's going
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: to lose yardage back to the 32. with 10 seconds remaining.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: He would have been better off just throwing that ball away. Instead,
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: he loses four yards. This is not a chip shot
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: field goal. There's a stiff wind that's in the face
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: of the kickers here coming out of the south. They'll
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: mark it at the 31, third down and 13 here.
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: Do you come after him, Sly, or do you play coverage?
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: I play coverage right here. I bluff, right?
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: Think you're coming with them with the blitz, but you've
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: got to cover these guys right now. Isaiah Marshall, he's
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: going to throw you the football if you allow him to.
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: So I would bluff here with the blitz.
- 1:27:04Speaker 6: Please restore the game to 11 seconds.
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: 11 seconds instead of 10. Kansas has a timeout. They
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: could run the ball here to set up an easier
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: field goal for their kicker if they wanted to.
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: Right, right.
- 1:27:19Speaker 4: And I think they'll do that.
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: But as I said, I think you bluff the blitz
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: here to make them think something, and.
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: Then you come off and play coverage.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: A negative play would be huge for the Utah defense.
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: Full house backfield. Dupree and Pickett in the backfield. Now
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: Pickett motions out. Marshall changing the play. Five on the
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: play clock. Here comes the Blitz from Utah. Marshall backpedaling, throwing,
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: complete to about.
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: Oh, the 20, and he stays on his feet. Down
- 1:27:51Speaker 4: to the.
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: Utah 14, and a timeout taken by Kansas with three
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: seconds remaining before halftime. They had Marshall dead to rights
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: again and couldn't get him to the ground.
- 1:28:03Speaker 6: Third and final timeout, Kansas, 40 seconds.
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: So they'll mark him at the 16-yard line.
- 1:28:10Speaker 6: Correction, one-minute timeout.
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: And it'll be probably about a 33-yard field goal here
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: for Connington, who's four out of six on the year.
- 1:28:19Speaker 4: Yeah, this is very manageable. Points are great, right?
- 1:28:22Speaker 3: You're getting 10 points within the last 90 seconds of
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: this first half. That is absolutely awesome. Exactly what you
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: want to do. And as you said, they got all
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: the momentum going in. Lance light pole can coach that
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: going down 28 7 which was the possibility Before his
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: two-minute warning and now look at it's gonna be 21
- 1:28:41Speaker 3: and possibly 17 going in the half-day clock Four seconds
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: on the game clock.
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: So they had an extra second not that it will
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: matter much Connington the transfer from Michigan State and Two
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: for two on PATs tonight. Four of six on field
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: goals on the season. This will be just inside the
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: left half. Call this about a 34-yard field goal for Cunnington.
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: Out of the hold of Hollis Moller. And the Utah
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: special teams come up with a big play here at
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: the end of the half. Snap is good. The kick
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: is away. It's high. It's end over end and it
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: is good. And as we go to halftime, Kansas scores
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: 10 unanswered. To cut this to a four point game 2117.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: A game that Utah had total control over momentum is
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: swung to Kansas and they will get the football to
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: begin things here in the second half. We're going to
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: go downstairs and Zach Moss. We'll get a word with
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: Morgan Scali. 21-17. Zach, take it away.
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: Coach, you guys got off to a fast start in
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: this game. Now the score is down to four points.
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: What do you guys got to do in the second
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: half to come out and finish this game fast and strong?
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: Well, the biggest thing is the self-inflicted wounds.
- 1:30:08Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: The penalties, the turnovers, not capitalizing when we get turnovers.
- 1:30:15Speaker 4: So a lot of it fixable, just us being more disciplined.
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: Thank you, Coach. Morgan, Zach, thank you. That sideline update
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: brought to you by the good folks at Ken Garf.
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: We hear you. 21-17 Utah as we go to halftime here.
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: Coming up, the America First Credit Union halftime show from
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: Rice Eccles Stadium and the Big O' Tires broadcast booth.
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
- 1:30:39Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
- 1:30:43Speaker 5: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: Back at Rice Eccles Stadium, just getting ready for second
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: half action here. 21-17 Utah, but the momentum on the
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: side of the Jayhawks. They got the last ten points
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: in the last couple of minutes of the half, and
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: they're going to get the football to begin things here
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: in the second half. Utah was late getting out of
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: the locker room. They're just getting out of the locker
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: room right now. Kansas has been on the field for
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. What do you think that late
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: time out of the locker room means, Sly?
- 1:31:10Speaker 4: Nothing.
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: Nothing?
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: Nothing.
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: Okay. I think they'll be fine. It's just about these
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: guys focusing execution. The X's and O's are very important
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: right now, especially with Kansas starting with the ball and
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: they have the momentum. So talking through your scheme, getting
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: a three and out. Understand, I think the biggest thing
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: that happens at halftime is the head coach. and the
- 1:31:31Speaker 3: defensive coordinators, they talk to the team and tell you,
- 1:31:34Speaker 3: this is how we're going to handle this coming out,
- 1:31:37Speaker 3: so make sure that you're prepared.
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: Let's go down to the third member of our broadcast
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: team who's outside in the wind right now. He may
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: have poked his head into that Utah locker room. Zach, what,
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: if anything, can you tell us about the message at halftime?
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: Same message that Coach gave us at the halftime break
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: there was, you know, just clean up mistakes. Play Utah football.
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: You got to clean up these mistakes. This is what
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: is allowed. kids to get some momentum right and talk
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: about the fumble by damn period I get put them
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: in a scoring position right away and that gave them
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: life so cleaning up some things and just getting back
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: to the style of football they played in the first
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: couple drives.
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: Zach thank you so very much that sideline update brought
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: to you by our good friends at Ken Garf we
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: hear you Kansas will get the ball to begin things
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: here in the second half second half brought to you
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: by our friends at University of Utah Health get the
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: same great care the Utes Trust visit uofuhealth.org slash.
- 1:32:25Speaker 4: Utes Who to win is really cutting.
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: Really cut right now. 2530 35 miles an hour out
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: of the South. It will be at the back of
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis as he teased it up in his own 35.
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: It's a deep kick. Bryson Hayes has no chance. He
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: almost kicked that ball into the front row of the
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: North End zone. So first in 10 for Isaiah Marshall.
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: What did you make of the red shirt freshman in
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: the first half?
- 1:32:47Speaker 4: I think he caught his composure after the misses in
- 1:32:50Speaker 4: that first quarter, honestly.
- 1:32:53Speaker 3: You know, I think he got his momentum back, got
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: his foot back. I didn't think he had the confidence
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: in that first quarter. But when they got that short
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: field and they got that score, you saw him a
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: very different quarterback in that second quarter.
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: Utah's defense did a really good job until the final
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: couple of minutes of the first half. They really held
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: the Kansas offense in check. Let's see what they do
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: here on the opening drive of the second half as
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: Marshall operates out of the shotgun. First down handoff, Dylan Edwards.
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: And he pushes the pile forward out to about the
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: 30-yard line, close to five yards on first down for
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: the very talented Dylan Edwards.
- 1:33:23Speaker 3: Yeah, good push, good seam right there on first down.
- 1:33:27Speaker 3: If you can get anything more than three, four yards
- 1:33:30Speaker 3: on first down, you're having success. And that's right through
- 1:33:33Speaker 3: the teeth of the defense, which we haven't seen. They've
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: been normally getting their yards on the edges.
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: Three receivers in the formation this time. Edwards stays in
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: the ballgame on second down and five from the Kansas
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: 30-yard line. Marshall to pass. Pressure late, but it's in
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: his face. He throws complete to the 40, to the 45,
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: up the sideline, 50, and out of bounds at the
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: Utah 45-yard line goes Cam Pickett. He beat his man
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: across the field. It was an excellent throw from Marshall,
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: and that is a pickup. 25 yards and a first
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: down into Utah territory and right now, Kansas has this
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: Utah defense figured.
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: Out Yeah, they're cooking a little bit right there that
- 1:34:13Speaker 3: play was just unfortunate the blitz didn't hit on time
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: and that left your D in and lands whole squat
- 1:34:18Speaker 3: on your receiver in the open field right there and
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: that's what the reason for the Big.
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: Game is a mismatch first and ten play action throw
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: again over the middle broken up excellent defensive play they
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: tried to get that ball to not say Cox and
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: Scooby Davis was there to break it up for Utah.
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: Second down and 10 coming up.
- 1:34:35Speaker 4: But this is where your playmakers come to make a play.
- 1:34:38Speaker 3: The Jai Mose in the passing lane, getting the sack,
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: causing the fumble. We need a havoc play, a big-time
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: havoc play to get this crowd back into the game
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: and get the juice back on your side.
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: See if they can get it here on second down
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: and 10. Marshall breaks the huddle. Dylan Edwards with it.
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: Two receivers left, one to the right-hand side. Utah shifting
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: around up front. Marshall's going to pass with a play action.
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: Plenty of time. Deep drop down the field. Incomplete. Good
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: coverage out there by Jackson Benny as he tried to
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: squeeze that ball in along the near sideline. To Cam Pickett.
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: That was not a Cox. So third down and ten
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: coming up. Yeah, and that was just.
- 1:35:18Speaker 4: One of those inconsistent passes right there.
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: Although he was covered extremely well, you'd have to have
- 1:35:23Speaker 3: a perfect pass to get a completion right there.
- 1:35:26Speaker 4: But now you're forcing third down and long. This is exactly...
- 1:35:29Speaker 4: Where we want to be right here. We got to
- 1:35:30Speaker 4: get this crowd back into the mix and make it loud.
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: Here for Kansas Jayhawks three out of eight on third
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: down four receivers deployed across the formation three of the
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: left hand side. Now they move some detail back out.
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: Marshall is going to keep it himself and he's going
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: to come up short. About three yards shy of the
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: first down to the 38-yard line he goes. I bet
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: Lance Leipold keeps the offense out here. He will. It's
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: four-down territory here for Kansas.
- 1:35:54Speaker 4: Yeah, this is big.
- 1:35:54Speaker 3: This is a conference season, season-defining moment right here for Kansas.
- 1:36:00Speaker 4: If they can get some points right here and.
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: Not settle, because the last thing you want to do
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: is get Utah the ball back, right?
- 1:36:06Speaker 4: Get Utah the ball back, have them apply pressure. They
- 1:36:09Speaker 4: can take the lead here by getting a score on
- 1:36:11Speaker 4: this drive. They can get some points. Anything here positive.
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: First fourth down tonight for the Jayhawks. Marshall out on
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: the edge, gonna try and keep it himself, scramble around,
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: he looks down the field and throws complete! To the 20,
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: to the 15 and out of bounds, but there's a
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: flag on the play. And we may have an illegal
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: man down the field here for the Jayhawks, maybe a
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: lineman downfield. It's a first down if the play stands
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: to the 15, but let's see what the flag is.
- 1:36:36Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely a man downfield.
- 1:36:38Speaker 3: I mean, you're scrambling around like that, that's what happens.
- 1:36:41Speaker 6: Ineligible receiver, downfield, number 56 of the offense. Five-yard penalty.
- 1:36:47Speaker 6: Replay fourth down.
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: It's Amir Herring who they get down the field, and
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: that's going to back it up, make it fourth down
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: and eight. Will they keep the offense out there back
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: at the Utah 43? They will for now.
- 1:36:59Speaker 4: How can we not get this guy down on the ground?
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: He's elusive. Very talented young man out of Detroit, Michigan.
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: Here we go, fourth down and eight. Edwards in the backfield.
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: Utah showing blitz.
- 1:37:11Speaker 4: Movement up front. Utah didn't cross in.
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: They did not cross into the neutral zone. Kansas trying
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: to say they dropped off. Now that's got to be
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: a procedure call on Kansas. Utah came up showing the blitz.
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: There's no way that call should go against the Utes.
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: They did not cross into the neutral zone. They came
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: right up on the center's head.
- 1:37:28Speaker 4: They're competent about it.
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: Let's see.
- 1:37:31Speaker 6: False start. Offense number 79. Five-yard penalty. Remains fourth down.
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: That's Connor Stroh, the left guard. The transfer from Texas.
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: Now the punt team's going to come out. Fourth and
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: 13 is going to be too much. That was a
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: great move by Utah. They showed two men blitzing right
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: up the middle. And he got the offensive line to
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: jump early.
- 1:37:50Speaker 4: They was coming for it. They were not trying to
- 1:37:52Speaker 4: give him all day to make a play right there.
- 1:37:54Speaker 3: And they caught the offensive linemen's good. So that's two penalties.
- 1:37:57Speaker 3: Lost 10 yards on the play. Now forces on the punt.
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: Now we've got to make a good decision here of
- 1:38:02Speaker 3: catching it.
- 1:38:03Speaker 4: Or letting it go into the end zone.
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: Wittemore is back instead of Monacar volume. Rugby-style punt again
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: from Kansas. Creed Whittemore is going to come up and
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: take it at about the 18. Whittemore to the outside.
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: He's got the 20. 25, Creed 30. And upended at
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: about the 33-yard line. Late flag comes in. And this
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: one's going to come back. It's going to be a
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: block in the back on Utah. Excellent return.
- 1:38:28Speaker 2: 35.
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: Punt, 19-yard return, but this one's going to come back.
- 1:38:33Speaker 4: That's what you want right there. The whole kick coverage
- 1:38:35Speaker 4: went to the right.
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: The ball went to the middle of the field, so
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: you had the edge. You had blockers over there with
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: just one guy away from taking that all the way back.
- 1:38:43Speaker 6: During the return, holding the 83 of the return team.
- 1:38:48Speaker 6: Ten-yard penalty. First down, Utah.
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: It's going to be Elijah Ellis, number 83. They got
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: two E, huh? Yeah, they got two E. Timeout on
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: the field. Utah will get it. Still leading 21-17 with 12.37
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: to play. Here in the third quarter from Rice-Eccles Stadium
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: at the Big O' Tires broadcast booth, it's Utah football
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 1:39:09Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
- 1:39:13Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: Tonight's second half brought to you by University of Utah Health,
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: trusted health care provider for the Utes family and yours.
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: Visit uofuhealth.org slash Utes. 1237 to play here in the
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: third quarter. Utah 21, Kansas 17. The Utah defense got
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: the job done with the help of some laundry on
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: the field. Now we'll see what Devin Dampier, the Utah offense,
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: can do. When they looked good in the first half,
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: they looked really good, but they were inconsistent and too
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: many turnovers.
- 1:39:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and again, I got to go back to Morgan
- 1:39:45Speaker 3: Scali's words. I really feel that Self-inflicted wounds are doing
- 1:39:48Speaker 3: it to themselves, right? And so, again, this is where
- 1:39:51Speaker 3: that aggressiveness comes out and fighting complacency. You've got to
- 1:39:55Speaker 3: fight that complacency and just put your foot on your
- 1:39:57Speaker 3: opponent's neck and keep them down, man, because this score
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: should be way bigger than it is right now.
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker had all of eight touches in the first half.
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: A big game at Iowa State two weeks ago. Tonight
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: pretty quiet, though he does have the one touchdown. Devin
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: Dampier in the backfield. Wayshawn Parker in the right slot.
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: First and ten, Utah from their own 18-yard line. Kansas
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: creeping to the line of scrimmage. They give it away.
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: Sean Parker running room 2530 and down to the 31
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: yard line. They'll give him the 32 way Sean Parker
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: to gain a 14 yards and an ivory homes first down.
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: Bam crouch with the tackle for Kansas.
- 1:40:31Speaker 4: Yeah, great job by the blocking scheme right here in way.
- 1:40:34Speaker 6: Sean Parker finding.
- 1:40:35Speaker 4: His way attacking edges.
- 1:40:36Speaker 3: As I said, chances has done a great job on
- 1:40:38Speaker 3: their defensive front and stopping the run up front. But
- 1:40:41Speaker 3: attacking the edges right there, they have.
- 1:40:43Speaker 4: A little bit of running room.
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: So a little breathing room now after the 32 goes
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: Devin Dampier in the Utah offense. Empty backfield right now.
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: Devin's going to motion back in there with Wayshawn Parker
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: on first and ten. Kansas shifting around their personnel up
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: front right now. First down, play action pass for Devin.
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: Steps up, takes a long shot down the field. He's
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: got a man out there. Incomplete as he tried to
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: get that ball to Creed Whittemore. Good coverage by Kansas.
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: Second down coming up.
- 1:41:07Speaker 4: It's a good ball. It's good defense, though.
- 1:41:09Speaker 3: There was good hand fighting right there, which slowed Creed
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: Whittemore down just a tad right there. But that's a
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: good ball. It was on the outside shoulder. The post
- 1:41:16Speaker 3: safety did not have a chance to make a play
- 1:41:18Speaker 3: on that. If Creed Whittemore just got there a couple
- 1:41:21Speaker 3: more steps, he was the only person able to make
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: that play.
- 1:41:24Speaker 4: It was a good ball.
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: Second down and 10. Parker stays in the ball game
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: for Utah. From the 32-yard line, 11.53 to play here
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: in the third. Motion to tight end into the right slot.
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: They hand that ball off to Parker. Again, he's going
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: to bust to the outside 40, 45, 50. Wayshawn Parker
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: in the Kansas Territory and down to the Jayhawk 46-yard line.
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: And that was the counter that worked. That was great
- 1:41:45Speaker 3: patience by Wayshawn Parker.
- 1:41:46Speaker 4: Washington, wait, wait, wait, go.
- 1:41:48Speaker 3: And then he accelerates right at the right time, pops
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: over free right there.
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: 22 yards on that gallop, backing up the 16-yard gallop
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: two plays before. Into Kansas territory to the 45-yard line again.
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker again, this time straight ahead. Not much
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: running room, though he does keep those legs churning. Give
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: him about two yards to the 43-yard line. Bam crouches there.
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: Also the defensive tackle, even Smalls. Second down and eight
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: coming up.
- 1:42:17Speaker 4: They're doing a great job. That's why you've got to
- 1:42:18Speaker 4: mix it up.
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: Keep the pressure on them, but this is exactly how
- 1:42:22Speaker 3: we started the game, right? They are moving down the
- 1:42:24Speaker 3: field with efficient plays, positive yards on every single play.
- 1:42:28Speaker 4: Even the deep ball that we incomplete pass, you're stretching
- 1:42:32Speaker 4: that defense out, making them have to trust or respect
- 1:42:35Speaker 4: the deep ball.
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: Devin Dampier motions back into the backfield. Bird Fick went
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: out there as well. Devin rolls to his right, throws
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: to his right. He's got it complete out there to
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: the 35 and hurtling out of bounds goes Braden Pagan
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: to the Kansas 33-yard line. I think they'll give him
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: Should be very close to first down yardage. It is.
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: He needed eight. He picked up ten. That's an Ivory
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: Holmes first down.
- 1:42:57Speaker 4: This is the type of football I like.
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 1:43:02Speaker 4: Talk till smack, young man.
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: Good athleticism by Pagan. First and ten, Utah. Devon's going
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: to keep it himself off that right side and inside
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: the 30 down to about the 29 for a four-yard gain.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with four yards on first down.
- 1:43:17Speaker 4: No, it was a great job by Devon Dampier.
- 1:43:18Speaker 3: That DN actually came up and forced the issue quicker
- 1:43:22Speaker 3: than what they were expecting to, and so he decided
- 1:43:24Speaker 3: to keep the ball up and understanding where the hole
- 1:43:27Speaker 3: is at in that offensive line.
- 1:43:29Speaker 4: Devon Dampier looking great on this drive.
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: Second down and six from the Kansas 29-yard line. Clock
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: running inside of ten minutes to play here. In the
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: third quarter, 21-17 Utah. Parker in the backfield with Dampier.
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: Wide receiver Pagan in motion. They throw it to him
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: in the flat. Braden Pagan's got it. Outside 30 and
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: rolls to the 29-yard line. Gets back to the line
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: of scrimmage and that's it. If he could have beat
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: that man, Dak Brinkley, he might have had a nice
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: play to the outside, but he couldn't beat the defensive end.
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: And it's going to be third down and seven now.
- 1:44:07Speaker 4: It's a safety Corey Gordon right there.
- 1:44:09Speaker 3: That was an absolute stellar play as an open field tackle.
- 1:44:13Speaker 3: That one is hard by itself. Catching a guy like
- 1:44:16Speaker 3: Brandon Pagan right in the wide.
- 1:44:18Speaker 4: Open like that, that's a great defensive play.
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: Whittemore in the backfield here on third down and seven.
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: Utah just two of six on third down tonight. Now
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: Creed motions out of the backfield. Devins by himself from
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: the Kansas 29-yard line. Backpedals to pass. Here comes the pressure.
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: Looking to the outside. Firing to the outside.
- 1:44:36Speaker 3: Caught.
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: Very close to the marker. They're going to give it
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: to him. He needed the 23-yard line and got it.
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: Right at the marker, Creed Whittemore. Movement change. First down
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: and Ivory Holmes first down for Utah. The drive stays alive.
- 1:44:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that. Great decision here.
- 1:44:50Speaker 6: Now they're going to hurry up.
- 1:44:51Speaker 4: High pressure.
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: Devin by himself again in the backfield. Two tight ends.
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: Devin wants the snap, takes the snap. He's going to
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: keep it straight ahead, bounce to the outside and pick
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: up maybe a yard or two to the 21. Trey Lathan,
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: who's had a big night at linebacker for Kansas, made
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: that good tackle.
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: That's just a hurry-up play to make sure that nobody
- 1:45:09Speaker 3: reviews anything. We don't need it to be contested at all.
- 1:45:12Speaker 3: It was close, as you said.
- 1:45:15Speaker 4: So they decided just to hurry up and get what
- 1:45:16Speaker 4: you can get and got two yards on first down.
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: So second down and eight coming up. Mass substitutions on
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: both sides. Devin Dampier not going to huddle the team
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: this time. Going to call the play at the line
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Way Sean Parker and Daniel Bray in the backfield.
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: Now Bray motions out to the right-hand side. Four-man down
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: front for the Jayhawks. Nobody on the left side of
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: the formation right now. Now they shift around, play clock
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: at five. They bring Bray back in the backfield. handoff, Devon.
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: He's going to keep it himself to the 20. Devon
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: to the 15. Devon down to about the 14-yard line.
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: He'll be about a half-yard shy of the first down.
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: He decided to keep instead of pitch and picked up
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: five more yards. Taylor Davis, the free safety, made the tackle.
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: Third down and about half a yard here for the Utes.
- 1:45:59Speaker 3: Yeah, this seems like we've got to get guys like
- 1:46:01Speaker 3: Hunter Andrew involved. His versatility down here in the red
- 1:46:04Speaker 3: zone seems like it would come in handy. With the
- 1:46:06Speaker 3: way this game is going, a guy like that would
- 1:46:09Speaker 3: would be great around the red.
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: Zone Utah three for seven in the ball game one
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: for one on this drive on third down Kansas crowding
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage Benny comes in motion they hand
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: that ball away Sean Parker he's got first down yardage
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: needed one picked up two to the 12 and Utah
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: in the Canyon View Credit Union red zone again for
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: the fourth time tonight as a first down and 10.
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: Clock running at 6.55 to play here in the third.
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: Utah knocking on the door here at the Jayhawks.
- 1:46:38Speaker 4: Good job by his offensive line. Moving bodies, right?
- 1:46:40Speaker 3: Getting exactly what you need done. As you say, Kansas
- 1:46:42Speaker 3: D-line is doing a great job in this game. This
- 1:46:45Speaker 3: is the most stalemate I've seen against our offensive line
- 1:46:48Speaker 3: this season.
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: Man coverage to the top on Pagan. Hunter Andrews, the
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: aforementioned in the right slot. Devin by himself in the
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: backfield on first down and 10. Surveys the defense. Now
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: he brings a man in motion. That's Wayshon Parker. Play
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: clock at one. Takes the snap. Back pedals to pass.
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: Devin looking. He's going to run it himself. Straight up
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: the middle to the five, to the four, to the three,
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: and to the one-yard line. Oh, he almost got in.
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: It'll be first and goal for Utah. On the 11-yard
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: scramble for Devin Dampier. Now Utah's going to go fast.
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: They're not going to allow Kansas to substitute here. First
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: and goal at the one-yard line. Wayshon Parker in the ballgame.
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: Devin in the backfield. Hands to way, Sean. Picks his
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: way forward and gets thrown backwards. He'll lose two yards
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: back to the three-yard line. Trey Latham, the linebacker, and
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: David Santiago, the defensive end, were there.
- 1:47:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great job by Santiago at shooting gap.
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: Boy, he's had a good game tonight, hasn't he?
- 1:47:49Speaker 4: Yes, he has. He's played outstanding.
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: So second down and goal. They'll just give him a
- 1:47:55Speaker 1: one-yard loss back to the two-yard line. Both teams substitute here.
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: Utah trying to punch it in, make it a double-digit
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: lead again if they can. Wildcat. Wayshawn Parker. They move
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: the tight end to the right. Now Dampier looking to throw.
- 1:48:13Speaker 1: Devon tosses in the end zone. Incomplete trying to get
- 1:48:16Speaker 1: that ball to Braden Pagan. Devin might have been able
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: to run that ball in the end zone himself. Yeah,
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: but Pagan was open.
- 1:48:22Speaker 4: Was it not contact?
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: It may have been a little bit of a grab there,
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: but the pass was really high.
- 1:48:27Speaker 3: If you're letting the players play, I understand that, but
- 1:48:29Speaker 3: I felt like that was something where it took a
- 1:48:30Speaker 3: little bit off.
- 1:48:31Speaker 4: Of Pagan right there.
- 1:48:32Speaker 1: It's a big call right here.
- 1:48:33Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: Slide third down and goal from the two-yard line. You
- 1:48:35Speaker 1: had first and goal at the one.
- 1:48:37Speaker 4: Yeah, at the one. I would have been a great
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: player if Dan Pierre would have scored on that. But
- 1:48:42Speaker 4: you've got to be able to punch this ball in here.
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: Devon in the backfield with Wayshawn Parker. Two wides, two
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: tights here for Utah. Hunter Andrews in the right slot.
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: Now they bring Ricky Johnson in motion. Devon's going to
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: roll to his right, throw it to Ricky Johnson. Open
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: clock touchdown. That's a play the Kansas City Chiefs have
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: run to perfection over the years. Utah does it right there,
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: and Ricky Johnson finds himself in paydirt in the north
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: end zone for his first Utah touchdown.
- 1:49:14Speaker 4: You had to throw your Chiefs in there, huh?
- 1:49:16Speaker 1: It's a play Andy Reid has run. They run that
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: receiver in motion, and it's hard to cover that ball.
- 1:49:21Speaker 4: You and Scali, you and Scali, I know it.
- 1:49:24Speaker 3: I love it.
- 1:49:24Speaker 4: You guys love your Chiefs.
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: PAT coming up after the Pepsi touchdown by Dylan Curtis
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: to make it an 11-point Utah lead. 5-13 to play
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: here in the third. And that PAT is no good.
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: A shaky hold. The PAT is missed. It's a 10-point lead.
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: First missed PAT this year. 15 plays, 82 yards. Utah
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: was 3-for-3 on third down. And they pay it off
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: after 7 minutes and 24 seconds of game time. 5.13
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: to play here in the third. Utah 27, Kansas 17.
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: This is Utah Football from ESPN 700, the Ute Sports
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: Radio Network.
- 1:50:05Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Big
- 1:50:08Speaker 5: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: Second half of Utah Football tonight being brought to you
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: by Smith's, proud sponsor of Utah Athletics, Smith's Fresh for Everyone.
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: Down to the sideline we go. Third member of our
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: broadcast team is Zach Moss. Zach, that was a 15-play,
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: 82-yard drive. What did you like about it?
- 1:50:29Speaker 4: That's what you call a got-to-have-it drive, right? Coming out
- 1:50:32Speaker 4: of the half, got an opportunity.
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: To extend the lead.
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: That was an absolute got-to-have-it drive. I like that, you know,
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: he was able to go out there and execute three
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: for three on third downs.
- 1:50:40Speaker 4: So now it's time for the defense to do their job,
- 1:50:42Speaker 4: and let's see if the offense can get the.
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: Ball back one more time and put some more points
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: on the board.
- 1:50:47Speaker 1: Zach, thank you. Sideline Update brought to you by Ken Garf.
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: We hear you. Devin Dampier, by the way, now has 1,009
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: rushing yards career here at Utah. He's got, for his
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: overall career, 2,400, almost 2,500 total rushing yards for his career.
- 1:51:03Speaker 4: That's awesome, man. He's dynamic with the football, extending.
- 1:51:06Speaker 3: Plays, taking the opportunities when it's there. He puts such
- 1:51:11Speaker 3: advice on.
- 1:51:12Speaker 4: The defense, man. He's a talented player.
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: So that last PAT miss was not on Dylan Curtis.
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: It was a bobbled hold by Orion Phillips. Snap was good, too,
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: by the way. Here's the kickoff. It's high and end
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: over end. Will not be returned as it goes out
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: of the back of the end zone. So now Utah
- 1:51:28Speaker 1: with a 10-point lead, 5.13 to play here in the
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: third quarter. Their defense did a really nice job against
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: Kansas coming out of the locker room. We'll see if
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: they can do the same thing right here.
- 1:51:40Speaker 4: Yeah, again, it's a shift of momentum.
- 1:51:42Speaker 6: You're playing with momentum.
- 1:51:43Speaker 3: Now you're getting Kansas behind the ball. They're getting a
- 1:51:46Speaker 3: little bit more pressure to.
- 1:51:46Speaker 4: Get back into this football game.
- 1:51:48Speaker 6: They don't want the lead to.
- 1:51:49Speaker 3: Separate, so they might start taking chances. That's when Utah
- 1:51:53Speaker 3: capitalizes right here. You're going to get opportunities to make interceptions,
- 1:51:56Speaker 3: to make strip sacks, to make forced fumbles.
- 1:51:59Speaker 4: Take advantage of those opportunities.
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: First and 10 Jayhawks from their own 25. Play action
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: pass here for Marshall. Takes a deep drop. Fires down
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: the field. He's got it complete again. Out to midfield
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: to Cam Pickett. Cam Pickett is feasting right now on
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: this Utah secondary. Benny made the tackle after a 25-yard gain.
- 1:52:17Speaker 4: One is a great route.
- 1:52:18Speaker 3: It was a great post-corner, post-out route. It was a
- 1:52:21Speaker 3: slow developing route right there, but they ran the corner
- 1:52:24Speaker 3: off and then ran Pickett right to the sideline right
- 1:52:26Speaker 3: out of it.
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: Seven catches, 102 yards now for Cam Pickett tonight. He
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: only had 55 yards on the year coming in in
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: two games.
- 1:52:34Speaker 4: We've got to fix that.
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: At midfield, first and ten, Jayhawks trailing by ten. Four
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: and a half to play here in the third quarter.
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: Marshall play action again. Takes that super deep drop. Fires
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: down the field. Has a man open.
- 1:52:46Speaker 4: It's caught.
- 1:52:48Speaker 1: It is caught inside the Utah 30 and down to
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: the Utah 23-yard line. There's no way he went all
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: the way down there. He looked like he was down
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: well before that. But they give him the 23. Nick
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: McMillan came up with the catch. That's another first down
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: on back-to-back plays.
- 1:53:05Speaker 6: Rooley on the field is a completed catch. The previous
- 1:53:08Speaker 6: play is on the replay review.
- 1:53:09Speaker 3: When he got possession, he may have rolled down to
- 1:53:12Speaker 3: the 23. But that throw was terrific.
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: By the way, do you notice how deep a drop
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: he's taking?
- 1:53:21Speaker 4: He has to. He's not that tall.
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: Well, it's not just that, but it keeps the pressure off, too.
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: He's deeper. He's got a strong arm. Let's watch the
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: replay there. Well, that's a catch. There's no doubt about that.
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: That's a catch.
- 1:53:33Speaker 4: That was a heck of a throw right there.
- 1:53:37Speaker 3: But, yeah, so one for the defense to be able
- 1:53:41Speaker 3: to guard that. You had to throw a perfect pass. And,
- 1:53:45Speaker 3: of course, that was a hard catch, right? He bobbled that.
- 1:53:48Speaker 3: The ball went into the air. And then he had
- 1:53:51Speaker 3: to re-catch that football in order for that to come down.
- 1:53:54Speaker 3: So it was definitely a hard play to complete. But
- 1:53:57Speaker 3: what a throw right there.
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: He's gonna take another look at this. They're gonna look
- 1:54:01Speaker 1: to see if that ball hit the ground before it
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: shot up in the air.
- 1:54:07Speaker 3: But that's what defense gotta stick with it they see
- 1:54:08Speaker 3: that ball pop up you gotta knock that.
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: Out What's going on with the Utah defense now? Why
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: have that? Why is Cam Marshall or I'm sorry Isaiah
- 1:54:14Speaker 1: Marshall beginning to have success?
- 1:54:16Speaker 3: Well, you gave him life you let him score that
- 1:54:19Speaker 3: that turnover by Devin dampier to.
- 1:54:21Speaker 6: Where he's through that pass and After review, receiver did
- 1:54:25Speaker 6: not maintain firm possession of the ball. It could be
- 1:54:28Speaker 6: in the catch. The result is an incomplete pass. And
- 1:54:31Speaker 6: he's sucking down.
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: Utah catches a break right there.
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:54:35Speaker 3: He's a young guy right now who doesn't have total confidence.
- 1:54:38Speaker 3: But if you give somebody confidence by letting them make
- 1:54:41Speaker 3: a few plays, they're going to ride that momentum right there.
- 1:54:45Speaker 3: And I just think what you're seeing from Marshall is
- 1:54:47Speaker 3: he's riding the momentum from that second quarter right now.
- 1:54:51Speaker 4: So you've got to shut it up. That's why I
- 1:54:52Speaker 4: talk about those havoc plays.
- 1:54:54Speaker 3: You have a havoc play right now to make him
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: question his confidence with an interception, a forced fumble.
- 1:54:59Speaker 1: A big hit.
- 1:55:00Speaker 3: He hasn't been hit. We can't get him down to
- 1:55:02Speaker 3: the ground for some reason. One of those plays right
- 1:55:04Speaker 3: there will get him off his game.
- 1:55:06Speaker 1: Second and 10 for the 50-yard line. Marshall backs up
- 1:55:08Speaker 1: into the shotgun with Dylan Edwards next to him. Utah
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: crowding the line of scrimmage, expecting a run here. And
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: they do get a run. It's Isaiah Marshall, and he's
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: not going far. He picks up two, maybe three yards
- 1:55:18Speaker 1: down to about the 48-yard line. Tackle on the play
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: by Nate Ritchie, who's had a good night for Utah.
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: Third down and long coming up.
- 1:55:25Speaker 4: Good job of reading your keys right there. They had
- 1:55:28Speaker 4: the run that they handed the ball off.
- 1:55:29Speaker 3: They would have took care of it, and they were
- 1:55:31Speaker 3: right there for Isaiah Marshall. Again, this big third down
- 1:55:34Speaker 3: right here, but they've got to get some kind of pressure,
- 1:55:37Speaker 3: some kind of hit on Isaiah Marshall.
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: They're 3 for 9 tonight. They're 0 for 1 this
- 1:55:41Speaker 1: half on third down. They've got to get to the
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: Utah 40. Jalen Dupree, the back of the ball. Game
- 1:55:46Speaker 1: 3 wide receivers for Zeke Marshall. Going to hand that
- 1:55:55Speaker 1: ball off. And Dylan Edwards picks up. Yardage down to
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: the 42. It'll be fourth down and two. They set
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: that up because they wanted to be four downs.
- 1:56:04Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it was a great play call right there.
- 1:56:07Speaker 3: Utah's thinking pass, and so we're in a pass, sub-package pressure,
- 1:56:10Speaker 3: and they.
- 1:56:11Speaker 4: Catch us with it right up the middle.
- 1:56:13Speaker 1: So fourth down and two for the Kansas Jayhawks. Their
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: first fourth down attempt tonight. They were going to go
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: for it earlier. A couple of penalties set them back.
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: What do you do here if you're Colton Swann?
- 1:56:29Speaker 4: I go to a bare front. They're trying to hurry
- 1:56:31Speaker 4: up snap here.
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: Here we go. Marshall hands it to Edwards. He's got
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: first down yardage to the Utah 38. Needed two, picked
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: up four. And it was Jalen Dupree who picked it up,
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: not Edwards. And the drive stays alive for the Jayhawks
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: with 2.40, the clock running to play here in the third.
- 1:56:47Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a great execution by Kansas, right? You
- 1:56:52Speaker 3: hurry up out of the huddle so the defense takes
- 1:56:54Speaker 3: a while to set up and see your formation, and
- 1:56:56Speaker 3: then you're right snapping that football.
- 1:56:59Speaker 4: Catch the defense lacking a little bit.
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: So Zeke Marshall and the Jayhawks keep that drive alive.
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: Dupree stays in the ballgame. First and 10 for the
- 1:57:05Speaker 1: Utah 38. 27-17 Utes. Marshall to pass. Quick hitter over
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: the middle. Has his man complete inside the 30. Down
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: to about the 28-yard line for a 10-yard gain. And
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: a first down. That's Cam Pickett again, who is just
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: feasting right now. They're going to go hurry up now
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: for the Utah 28-yard line. Marshall going to keep it
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: out on the edge. He hesitates. And now gets cut
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: down behind the line of scrimmage.
- 1:57:32Speaker 3: By Rabbit Evans, great job staying home on the backside,
- 1:57:35Speaker 3: both by Lance Hill, whole squad and Rabbit Evans. Seeing
- 1:57:39Speaker 3: that stretching him out, making sure he doesn't get anything
- 1:57:41Speaker 3: right there.
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: Two yard loss back to the 30 yard line, second
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: down in 12 clock running at a minute 40 to play.
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: The one thing Kansas has done is shortened up this
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: third quarter, that's for sure. Marshall surveys the defense. Now
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: he's going to change the play at the line of scrimmage.
- 1:58:02Speaker 1: Edwards in the backfield with him. Three wide receivers in
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: the pattern for the Jayhawks. Utah with four down linemen.
- 1:58:08Speaker 1: They hand the ball on the outside. edge to Edwards,
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: and he's not going to get much. He'll pick up
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: a yard. Nope, back to the line of scrimmage is it.
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: Jackson Benny was there to meet him right in front
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: of the Utah bench. Third down and long coming up.
- 1:58:19Speaker 3: And that's exactly what you want to do when you're
- 1:58:21Speaker 3: stretching right there. Dylan Edwards has great speed, but they
- 1:58:24Speaker 3: keep making him go east and west.
- 1:58:26Speaker 4: Keep making him go east and west. Good job on
- 1:58:28Speaker 4: the blocks, on the stop blocks, on the outside.
- 1:58:31Speaker 3: Jackson Benny gets the right side of this and pulls
- 1:58:34Speaker 3: him backwards.
- 1:58:35Speaker 4: So he doesn't get out. It's a great team defense
- 1:58:37Speaker 4: right there.
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: Third down and 11. Jayhawks 3 for 10 on third down.
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: Dupree stays in. Trips to the right hand side. Keep
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: an eye on Marshall. Utah showing pressure. Here they come.
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: Marshall to throw. Down the field. Looking. Caught. Touchdown. Nick McMillan.
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: beat Bobo Chenault for the touchdown, and the Jayhawks are
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: right back in it again here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. No
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: pressure on Marshall, lots of time, and McMillan went up
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: and got it.
- 1:59:14Speaker 3: That's just crazy. The defense was right there. I mean,
- 1:59:17Speaker 3: the only better thing he could do was get a
- 1:59:20Speaker 3: personal foul. That ball just sneaks in there. He tried
- 1:59:23Speaker 3: to play the bread basket, but you don't know exactly
- 1:59:25Speaker 3: where the ball is at.
- 1:59:26Speaker 4: But again, Isaiah Marshall throwing a beautiful ball right there.
- 1:59:30Speaker 4: to McMillan.
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: The bigger issue, though, Sly, is they can't get to Marshall.
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: They can't get to him, and they can't get him down.
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: The PAT here from Connington trying to make it a
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: three-point game. That scoring drive, nine plays, 75 yards, and
- 1:59:44Speaker 1: 446 off the game clock. And the Jayhawks have a
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: chance to make this a three-point game with 27 seconds
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: to play here in the third quarter. Got a holdup
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: down there on the field right now. I'm not quite
- 1:59:57Speaker 1: sure what it's for. Maybe trying to get the net up?
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: Maybe having some net issues. Souvenir for somebody in the
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: south end zone. I know you need the net up.
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: Connington just about ready to go. Perfect on PAT's this year.
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: Good snap, good hold. The kick is up, and it's good.
- 2:00:30Speaker 1: We've got a three-point game here in Salt Lake City.
- 2:00:35Speaker 1: With 27 seconds to play and a timeout on the field.
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: We'll take it with them. It's a Bamboo HR timeout
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: from here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah 27 and Kansas 24.
- 2:00:45Speaker 1: The Jayhawks aren't going away on this Saturday night. This
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports

- 2:01:00Speaker 1: Utah once led this game 21-7 and looked in control.
- 2:01:04Speaker 1: They got stopped on a fourth down, and everything has
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: changed really since then. Kansas has outscored them 17-6 since.
- 2:01:11Speaker 1: We've got a three-point game here. 27 seconds to play
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: here in the third quarter. Our second half being brought

- 2:01:28Speaker 1: for Kansas, but maybe more importantly, what's not working right
- 2:01:31Speaker 1: now for this Utah defense?
- 2:01:33Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. A lot of people are going
- 2:01:34Speaker 4: to be like, the defense isn't doing this, this, and this,
- 2:01:36Speaker 4: and this.
- 2:01:38Speaker 3: It's not that the defense, to me, this is my opinion.
- 2:01:41Speaker 3: We can hear from Colton Swan and Morgan Scali later.
- 2:01:44Speaker 3: It's not that the defense is playing bad. This is
- 2:01:46Speaker 3: just really good offense by Kansas. Aside from not being
- 2:01:49Speaker 3: able to get to Isaiah.
- 2:01:51Speaker 4: Marshall, they are... You know, lucking up.
- 2:01:54Speaker 3: I wouldn't say lucking up on some really significant passing,
- 2:01:57Speaker 3: good opportunities. On both of those pass situations, I felt
- 2:02:00Speaker 3: like the defense was right there. They just made a play.
- 2:02:03Speaker 3: As I said, you've got to respect your opponent. So
- 2:02:05Speaker 3: I really feel like Kansas is just riding the momentum.
- 2:02:08Speaker 3: And what we didn't expect today was a shootout. And
- 2:02:11Speaker 3: that is exactly what we're getting. So this offense and
- 2:02:14Speaker 3: Coach Kevin McGiven is going to have to keep applying
- 2:02:17Speaker 3: pressure and being aggressive on the offensive front.
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: I wouldn't have guessed Isaiah Marshall would be out playing
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: Devin Dampier either. Isaiah Marshall, 14 of 24, 211 yards,
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: two touchdowns and a pick. Devin Dampier, 15 of 21, 138,
- 2:02:30Speaker 1: two touchdowns and a pick. But Devin's also got a fumble.
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: Isaiah Marshall has a rushing touchdown. So the young redshirt
- 2:02:37Speaker 1: freshmen have it himself a coming out party of sorts
- 2:02:40Speaker 1: here in Salt Lake City tonight.
- 2:02:42Speaker 4: That's the thing.
- 2:02:43Speaker 3: Everybody needs a game or some situation to give them
- 2:02:45Speaker 3: that energy.
- 2:02:47Speaker 4: Really feels like this.
- 2:02:47Speaker 1: Is as it must kick off and be through the
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: end zone. Utah will start 1st and 10 at their
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: own 25 yard line. KSL Utah doesn't settle for average
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: and neither does KSL. KSL.com or download the app for
- 2:02:58Speaker 1: better news, better weather, better classifieds all built right here
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: in Utah. Go use. Utah's got the wind at their
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: back right now. They're going to be going into the
- 2:03:06Speaker 1: wind in the 4th quarter. And it is a stiff
- 2:03:11Speaker 1: wind out of the South Southwest right now. That's where
- 2:03:14Speaker 1: all the rain and the weather is coming from. Folks,
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: we've got ourselves a ball game here. 27 seconds to
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: play here in the third quarter. 27-24 Utah. Braden Pagan
- 2:03:27Speaker 1: comes in motion. Devin Dampier is going to look to
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: run and keep it himself. 30, 35, and out of bounds. Oh,
- 2:03:34Speaker 1: and that might be a late hit. That's extra.
- 2:03:36Speaker 4: That's extra on that sideline.
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: That's extra. There's no flag coming. That's Bam Crouch, who
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: got flagged earlier for unsportsmanlike. Driving Devin Dampier out of bounds.
- 2:03:49Speaker 1: Both teams coming together right now. A little extracurricular down there.
- 2:03:51Speaker 4: A little Reggie Miller by the Kansas there. But that
- 2:03:56Speaker 4: to me, that's extra. That's unnecessary.
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: No flags on the play. It will be a first
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: down as Devin picked up 12 yards. And that will
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: probably be the final play of the third quarter here
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: at Rice-Eckel Stadium today. The clock is running. And they're
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: going to let it go all the way down here.
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: And we'll reach the end of the third quarter. After
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: three full quarters here in Salt Lake City, a ball
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: game as we head to the fourth in the Big 12.
- 2:04:24Speaker 1: Utah 27.
- 2:04:25Speaker 6: That's the end of the third quarter.
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: And Kansas 24. Our second half being brought to you
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: by University of Utah Health and Sports Medicine. Because you
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: belong back in the game as much as anyone. Visit sportsmed.uofuhealth.org.
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: From the Big O Tires broadcast booth, we head to
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: the fourth in a three-point game. It's Utah football from
- 2:04:44Speaker 1: ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 2:04:47Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
- 2:04:51Speaker 5: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 2:04:57Speaker 1: You head to the fourth quarter here at Rice Eccles Stadium.
- 2:04:59Speaker 1: Utah clinging to a 27-24 lead over the Kansas Jayhawks.
- 2:05:05Speaker 1: Bill Riley, Stevenson, Sylvester upstairs, Zach Moss downstairs. Third quarter numbers,
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: Kansas had 112 yards, Utah 94. Jayhawks did it through
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: the air, 89 through the air, 23 on the ground, Utah,
- 2:05:16Speaker 1: 62 on the ground, 32 through the air. Utah actually
- 2:05:18Speaker 1: ran more plays in the third quarter than Kansas did.
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: Kansas was just more explosive, Sly, and that's why it's
- 2:05:25Speaker 1: a three-point game right now.
- 2:05:27Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to keep the pressure on them, man,
- 2:05:29Speaker 3: and that's exactly what's happened. They're gaining momentum and they're
- 2:05:32Speaker 3: getting these chunk plays. That's what I've seen in that
- 2:05:34Speaker 3: third quarter. It was chunk play after chunk play. Even
- 2:05:37Speaker 3: the incomplete pass, they were going for it. They were
- 2:05:40Speaker 3: looking downfield. Yes, they're getting their little run plays here
- 2:05:43Speaker 3: and there when they get third and short and they
- 2:05:45Speaker 3: need to pick up the first down. But for me,
- 2:05:47Speaker 3: they are attacking this defense deep. They are trying to
- 2:05:50Speaker 3: get downfield. They are being extremely aggressive.
- 2:05:53Speaker 4: So here's where we got to kick in. We got
- 2:05:55Speaker 4: to keep.
- 2:05:56Speaker 3: Up the defensive pressure right here. Defensive pressure, Isaiah Marshall
- 2:05:59Speaker 3: is way too comfortable in the pocket. And then offensively,
- 2:06:03Speaker 3: we got to take our chunk plays and take it
- 2:06:05Speaker 3: to him. I don't want to see the four-minute offense.
- 2:06:08Speaker 4: Too early in this game.
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: Fourth quarter being brought to you by Bamboo HR. Business leaders,
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: put your people in position to win with Bamboo HR,
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: an official partner of Utah Athletics, first and ten Utah,
- 2:06:17Speaker 1: at their own 37 to begin things with a three-point
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: lead here in the fourth quarter. Crowd not leaving early tonight.
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: You get a ball game. Three receivers and Wayshon Parker,
- 2:06:29Speaker 1: who's only got 12 touches here tonight. Daniel Bray comes
- 2:06:32Speaker 1: in motion, goes back out again. Play action roll to
- 2:06:35Speaker 1: the left for Devon. Looking down the field, dumping in
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: the flat to the 40-yard line. And 42 goes to
- 2:06:40Speaker 1: tight end Noah Benny for a pickup of about five yards.
- 2:06:43Speaker 1: Good job, though, by the Kansas defense sticking with the
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: tight end that time.
- 2:06:46Speaker 3: Yeah, great job coming back across the formation. Great hands
- 2:06:49Speaker 3: by Noah Benny. The defense is right on top of it.
- 2:06:52Speaker 3: Normally he's dropping coverage and.
- 2:06:53Speaker 7: He can get a couple extra yards.
- 2:06:56Speaker 1: So they give him a five-yard gain, second down and
- 2:06:58Speaker 1: five as the clock continues to run now at 14
- 2:07:01Speaker 1: and a half to play in the ballgame. Devin by
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: himself in the backfield. Will they motion somebody back in?
- 2:07:06Speaker 1: They do. Way Sean Parker coming in. Two tight ends
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: on the right-hand side. Kansas shuffling around up front. Six
- 2:07:13Speaker 1: near the line of scrimmage. Hand off Way Sean Parker.
- 2:07:16Speaker 1: Into the second level he goes. Moves that pile out
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: near the 50-yard line. That's going to be good for
- 2:07:20Speaker 1: first down yardage. He picked up eight yards and an
- 2:07:23Speaker 1: ivory homes first down David Santiago, who's been a busy
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: man tonight for the Jayhawks. Picked up the tackle for
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: Utah for Kansas.
- 2:07:31Speaker 4: Yeah, and this this.
- 2:07:33Speaker 3: Right here is way Sean Parker time. It's crunch time.
- 2:07:35Speaker 3: You need your playmakers to make plays. This is feedway time.
- 2:07:39Speaker 3: It's way all day right now. For me, the rest
- 2:07:42Speaker 3: of this fourth quarter, the heavy, heavy feature of way
- 2:07:45Speaker 3: Sean Parker.
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: The officials gathered here. There was maybe a late flag.
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: Let's see what Mike McCabe says.
- 2:07:50Speaker 6: Also play is a first down. after the play on
- 2:07:53Speaker 6: sportsmanlike conduct. Offense number 44, his first of the game.
- 2:07:57Speaker 6: 15-yard penalty.
- 2:07:59Speaker 4: First down.
- 2:08:01Speaker 1: I mean, you just can't have that in a close game.
- 2:08:04Speaker 3: You've got to be smart. Championship teams play smart. I
- 2:08:06Speaker 3: know they're trying to protect their guys here.
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: Big Sione, the rhino back. I mean, he just cost
- 2:08:16Speaker 1: Utah 15 yards back to their own 35-yard line.
- 2:08:20Speaker 4: Still first down and 10.
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: It is first and 10, but now you've lost 15 yards.
- 2:08:26Speaker 1: Instead of being first and 10 right at midfield, you're
- 2:08:28Speaker 1: back at your own 35-yard line. Bird Ficklin in the
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: ballgame right now for Utah. He stands next to Devin Dampier.
- 2:08:37Speaker 1: Devin surveys the defense. He'll take the snap. Backpedal, spin
- 2:08:43Speaker 1: back to his right-hand side, look down the field, throw
- 2:08:46Speaker 1: down the field, caught down the field. It's going to
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: be a gain of 11, almost 12 yards by Creed Whittemore.
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: Excellent improvisation that time by Devin Dampier. And he delivered
- 2:08:54Speaker 1: that right on the money to Creed Whittemore for a
- 2:08:56Speaker 1: first down.
- 2:08:56Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great pirouette right there.
- 2:08:58Speaker 3: As I said, that defense on the edge, he came
- 2:09:00Speaker 3: really fast and made the blocker have to define itself
- 2:09:03Speaker 3: really early.
- 2:09:04Speaker 1: Utah going with tempo, empty backfield this time for Devin.
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: Taking a shot down the field, he's got a man
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: out there.
- 2:09:09Speaker 4: Caught!
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: At the Kansas 10 yard line, it's Ricky Johnson, his
- 2:09:16Speaker 1: second big grab tonight, and it's first in goal Utah,
- 2:09:21Speaker 1: 38 yards.
- 2:09:23Speaker 3: That puts him at 97 yards on the day. Great
- 2:09:26Speaker 3: job by Ricky Johnson at making a huge play.
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: Now Utah's going to go with tempo again, first in
- 2:09:31Speaker 1: goal in the Canyon View Credit Union red zone for
- 2:09:34Speaker 1: the nine yard line. Fifth time tonight. Hand off Bird Ficklin,
- 2:09:39Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. Bird stacked up in the line
- 2:09:41Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And will gain nothing. Tried to catch Kansas
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: not being able to substitute that time. But Kansas did
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: a nice job. Harold made the tackle up front. Second
- 2:09:51Speaker 1: down and goal.
- 2:09:54Speaker 4: Great job by the defense front. That's just a beautiful
- 2:09:56Speaker 4: ball by Devin Dampier. As I said, chunk play. You
- 2:09:59Speaker 4: take it down.
- 2:09:59Speaker 3: They just haven't been able to connect on those chunk
- 2:10:02Speaker 3: plays earlier in this game.
- 2:10:04Speaker 4: And that's right there.
- 2:10:05Speaker 3: It's a big 38-yard game putting in 97 yards on
- 2:10:07Speaker 3: the day for Ricky Johnson.
- 2:10:08Speaker 1: Ricky Johnson actually officially at 104 now. Five catches, 104 yards.
- 2:10:12Speaker 1: That's what the stat sheet says. Second down and goal.
- 2:10:18Speaker 1: Bird Ficklin, the quarterback now. With way Sean Parker birds
- 2:10:22Speaker 1: going to keep it himself picks his way forward, but
- 2:10:24Speaker 1: not much. Maybe two yards, maybe a yard to get
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: him a yard to the eight yard line.
- 2:10:29Speaker 3: Yeah, see this defense is treating that like like a wildcat.
- 2:10:35Speaker 3: I know bird can run it, but they're going cover
- 2:10:37Speaker 3: zero when when bird is back there. Bird can go
- 2:10:40Speaker 3: back there and be a great quarterback and throw against
- 2:10:43Speaker 3: cover zero as they're barreling down here.
- 2:10:46Speaker 4: On the run trying to knock that out this defensive
- 2:10:48Speaker 4: front doing a great job.
- 2:10:49Speaker 1: Third down and goal now from the eight yard line
- 2:10:51Speaker 1: instead of first and goal from the nine is now
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: third and goal from the eight Devin by himself in
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: the shotgun five wide receivers across the formation Dampier to
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: throw he's going to scramble out to his right hand
- 2:11:00Speaker 1: side throw toward.
- 2:11:01Speaker 4: The end zone it's caught near the two.
- 2:11:05Speaker 1: Down there is Braden Pagan making Creed Whittemore down to
- 2:11:09Speaker 1: the two yard line now it's going to be fourth
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: down and goal at the two-yard line, and I think
- 2:11:14Speaker 1: they're going to keep the offense out there. They are.
- 2:11:16Speaker 4: I definitely would. I definitely would. This is the time
- 2:11:20Speaker 4: to step up. Again, we've got defining moments right here.
- 2:11:23Speaker 3: We missed the extra point the last time we scored.
- 2:11:28Speaker 4: That's huge.
- 2:11:29Speaker 3: That's probably going into the decision-making, but also for this
- 2:11:33Speaker 3: offense's mentality right here.
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: Here we go. Pistol formation. Utah 0 for 1 on
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: fourth down tonight. It's Parker standing behind Dampierre. Now they
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: bring Ricky Johnson in motion. Hand off. Way Sean Parker
- 2:11:46Speaker 1: into the end zone. He goes. Touchdown. Actually, no.
- 2:11:51Speaker 4: They threw the football to the big man.
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: It's Semmy Taolonga.
- 2:11:56Speaker 4: They made the fake to the up back, and.
- 2:11:59Speaker 1: Taolonga was all by himself in the end zone.
- 2:12:02Speaker 4: It's a big fella. Touchdown for the Utes.
- 2:12:10Speaker 1: Everybody was focused on way Sean Parker and semi just
- 2:12:13Speaker 1: slipped out as much of it as a 300 pound
- 2:12:15Speaker 1: guy can do and all by himself. He got the
- 2:12:19Speaker 1: touchdown pass. 9 plays 75 yards. The P80 is up
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: and good. And Utah leads it by 10 again after
- 2:12:36Speaker 1: that Pepsi touchdown. 442 off the game clock, and Semih
- 2:12:40Speaker 1: Taolonga has his first touchdown as a Ute. A two-yard
- 2:12:45Speaker 1: touchdown pass from Devin Dampier, the big fella rumbling in
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: all by himself to make it 34-24 Utah. How does
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: a big guy like that sneak out? Everybody's eyes were
- 2:13:01Speaker 1: on the running back.
- 2:13:02Speaker 4: But that's the complexities that this offense brings to you.
- 2:13:06Speaker 4: Who are you worried about on this play?
- 2:13:09Speaker 3: It's a great job by this offensive coach McGavin in
- 2:13:13Speaker 3: calling the right play at the right time. They were
- 2:13:16Speaker 3: extremely confident in knowing what play they were going to
- 2:13:19Speaker 3: run on fourth down.
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: Morgan Scali said he wanted his big guys to catch
- 2:13:23Speaker 1: some touchdowns this year. That's the first one we got.
- 2:13:26Speaker 4: Guys need to get paid off, right?
- 2:13:28Speaker 3: You do all of this blocking. Give me something where
- 2:13:30Speaker 3: I could go. You got a handoff early in this game.
- 2:13:33Speaker 3: You didn't get much out of it. But now he
- 2:13:35Speaker 3: catches a pass in the flat. We know he's got
- 2:13:37Speaker 3: great feet. He's got dancer feet, right?
- 2:13:40Speaker 4: That's why he's able to catch that ball, turn around.
- 2:13:42Speaker 4: Other big guys normally fall. They catch the ball, and
- 2:13:44Speaker 4: then they just fall.
- 2:13:46Speaker 3: Simi Taolonga, he's a dangerous threat, man, and you can't
- 2:13:49Speaker 3: forget about him.
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: 10.45 to play. Kansas will get the ball back. They've
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: scored on three of their last four drives. The Utah
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: defense has to step up here. Dylan Curtis has it
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: teed up at his own 35. He kicks it high
- 2:14:02Speaker 1: and long. Bryson Hayes is going to watch this ball
- 2:14:04Speaker 1: trickle into the end zone and out. That'll be a touchback.
- 2:14:07Speaker 1: For those of you watching the game tonight and listening
- 2:14:10Speaker 1: to us, the game has now moved over to ESPN.
- 2:14:14Speaker 1: The Kentucky LSU game is over. This game is now
- 2:14:16Speaker 1: on ESPN. So if you're listening in and watching at
- 2:14:20Speaker 1: the same time, make that switch and stay with us
- 2:14:23Speaker 1: here on the radio side of things because we've still
- 2:14:25Speaker 1: got a good ball game here. Ten points separate the
- 2:14:28Speaker 1: Utes and the Jayhawks with 10.45 to play. Let's see
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: if the Utah defense can come up with a big
- 2:14:32Speaker 1: stop here. First and ten, Jayhawks on their own 25-yard line.
- 2:14:36Speaker 1: The open up at a pistol formation, Dupree the tailback.
- 2:14:41Speaker 1: Quarterback's going to backpedal to throw. Down the field he goes.
- 2:14:45Speaker 1: Is it caught? It is. And there's a flag on
- 2:14:48Speaker 1: the play, too, all the way down to the Utah
- 2:14:50Speaker 1: 33-yard line. Let's see what the flag is first. I
- 2:14:53Speaker 1: think this one's going on Utah. Everybody's moving to the
- 2:14:56Speaker 1: other end of the field.
- 2:14:59Speaker 4: And that's what I'm saying.
- 2:15:00Speaker 3: Even with great defense and even a defensive penalty, Kansas
- 2:15:04Speaker 3: is just making.
- 2:15:06Speaker 1: That's a 41-yard pitch and catch to Naze Cox.
- 2:15:09Speaker 4: Holding.
- 2:15:10Speaker 6: Defense number 11. That can only be declined. First down.
- 2:15:15Speaker 1: You've got to hold better than that, Sly. I mean,
- 2:15:18Speaker 1: you can't allow a 41-yard catch. You've got to hold
- 2:15:20Speaker 1: better than that. That's only a 15-yard penalty the other way.
- 2:15:23Speaker 4: I think there's give and take. There's offense doing it.
- 2:15:26Speaker 1: What a catch by Cox.
- 2:15:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:15:29Speaker 1: And another great throw by the young Fred Richard, freshman
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: Isaiah Marshall. First and 10 at the Utah 34. That
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: didn't take long. Marshall's going to throw again. Backpedals to pass.
- 2:15:41Speaker 1: Fires down the middle, down the seam. It is caught
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: at the Utah four-yard line. What a catch down the field.
- 2:15:54Speaker 1: That's Leighton Cure in its first and.
- 2:15:56Speaker 4: Goal, Kansas.
- 2:15:59Speaker 1: They are absolutely dicing up this Utah secondary right now
- 2:16:03Speaker 1: with no pressure on the quarterback.
- 2:16:05Speaker 4: Leighton Cure down to.
- 2:16:06Speaker 1: The Utah four. Dylan Edwards, the back of the ball
- 2:16:13Speaker 1: game in a pistol formation. Marshall gives Edwards forward near
- 2:16:21Speaker 1: the goal line, stopped at the one-yard line. Three-yard gain,
- 2:16:25Speaker 1: second down and goal coming up. It's been a long
- 2:16:29Speaker 1: time since I've seen a Utah secondary carved up the
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: way this one's being carved up right now, Sly. It's
- 2:16:35Speaker 1: really unconventional, too.
- 2:16:36Speaker 4: It's just weird that it is happening, right?
- 2:16:39Speaker 3: And The great thing, a great pass coverage is because
- 2:16:42Speaker 3: you have a great pass rush.
- 2:16:44Speaker 4: We have zero pass rush in this game.
- 2:16:46Speaker 3: He's back there able to sit and dissect his defense
- 2:16:50Speaker 3: and make those throws.
- 2:16:51Speaker 4: We always said he can throw the ball.
- 2:16:54Speaker 3: If you're giving him all day, he's going to be
- 2:16:56Speaker 3: able to throw the ball. So this defensive front needs
- 2:16:58Speaker 3: to come up and make a play. Get off of
- 2:17:00Speaker 3: these blocks and put pressure on Isaiah Marshall.
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: Now Marshall rolling to his right, serving, abluting the pass.
- 2:17:07Speaker 1: Rush still eluding, looking down the field, throwing toward the
- 2:17:10Speaker 1: end zone incomplete. They had him twice. They had him
- 2:17:14Speaker 1: twice and couldn't get him down. Third down and goal
- 2:17:16Speaker 1: coming up. It would have been almost a 20-yard loss
- 2:17:20Speaker 1: had they wrapped him up and taken him down right there. Instead,
- 2:17:22Speaker 1: it's an incomplete pass and third down and goal coming up.
- 2:17:27Speaker 3: That's an opportunity right there. You have him dead to rights.
- 2:17:31Speaker 3: You could get him in your grasp and knock the
- 2:17:33Speaker 3: ball out. That's that potential play right there. You could
- 2:17:37Speaker 3: win in the series right there by getting a turnover
- 2:17:40Speaker 3: or get a significant loss.
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: Here we go. Third down and goal. Pistol formation again. Marshall, hands, Dupree,
- 2:17:48Speaker 1: whistles flow. And what do we have? I think it's
- 2:17:54Speaker 1: on Kansas.
- 2:17:55Speaker 6: False start. Offensive at 79. Five yard penalty.
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: That's the north end zone doing its job right there.
- 2:18:04Speaker 1: That flag brought to you by Ann Collar, Utah's number
- 2:18:07Speaker 1: one shirt.
- 2:18:08Speaker 7: If you're the Utah defense, you've got to hold it
- 2:18:18Speaker 7: to a field goal here.
- 2:18:20Speaker 1: 839 to play. Third goal. Back at the six yard line.
- 2:18:26Speaker 1: Dupree the tailback. Pistol formation. Let's see if Utah comes
- 2:18:32Speaker 1: after him. Marshall to pass. In the flat.
- 2:18:40Speaker 3: Caught.
- 2:18:42Speaker 1: Is he in?
- 2:18:43Speaker 4: Touchdown!
- 2:18:44Speaker 1: They say he's in. I thought he was short. It
- 2:18:48Speaker 1: was the tight end. Carson Bruin. That's a touchdown for Kansas.
- 2:18:55Speaker 1: We'll see if he's down. He's down.
- 2:18:57Speaker 4: He's short.
- 2:18:57Speaker 1: He is short.
- 2:18:58Speaker 4: That's going to be fourth and inches. They're going to
- 2:19:00Speaker 4: go for it, but that should be fourth and inches.
- 2:19:01Speaker 1: Indeed.
- 2:19:03Speaker 6: Willie on the field is a touchdown. The previous play
- 2:19:06Speaker 6: is going to replay with you.
- 2:19:07Speaker 1: Yeah, he's about a foot, maybe a half a yard shy.
- 2:19:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: And it will be fourth down, and you can be
- 2:19:13Speaker 1: sure that Kansas will go for it here with 8.49
- 2:19:15Speaker 1: to play. Now the long run to the other end
- 2:19:19Speaker 1: of the field for Mike McCabe. Just to give you some...
- 2:19:25Speaker 1: Numbers here, 17 of 28, 288 yards and three touchdowns,
- 2:19:29Speaker 1: at least for now. Two touchdowns if it's called back
- 2:19:32Speaker 1: for Isaiah Marshall. And I think he's down at about
- 2:19:35Speaker 1: the half-yard line.
- 2:19:37Speaker 4: Might even be the one-yard line where they mark it.
- 2:19:39Speaker 1: Tight end just leaked out. Nobody went with him. That's
- 2:19:51Speaker 1: a great throw. Kansas has not even attempted to run
- 2:19:53Speaker 1: the football lately. They have 58 yards in the game.
- 2:19:56Speaker 4: They don't need to.
- 2:19:57Speaker 1: They're just letting Isaiah Marshall deal here.
- 2:19:59Speaker 3: But that's what I'm talking about, about applying pressure. The
- 2:20:02Speaker 3: defense is giving you the pass.
- 2:20:05Speaker 2: Pass.
- 2:20:06Speaker 6: After review, the runner was short of the goal line.
- 2:20:08Speaker 4: The ball replaces the one-yard line.
- 2:20:10Speaker 6: It'll be fourth down.
- 2:20:12Speaker 1: So fourth and goal at the one-yard line, says Mike McCabe.
- 2:20:17Speaker 1: Kansas is down 10. They need two scores. Do you
- 2:20:20Speaker 1: take one here? They're going to keep the offense out there.
- 2:20:24Speaker 1: This is big. Might be the ball game. If you
- 2:20:28Speaker 1: can get a stop here, we'll see. They're one for
- 2:20:30Speaker 1: one on fourth down. Jalen Dupree is going to be
- 2:20:33Speaker 1: the tailback here, not Dylan Edwards. My guess is Isaiah
- 2:20:39Speaker 1: Marshall has the ball in his hands one way or another.
- 2:20:45Speaker 1: Offset eye with Butler, the tight end of the right
- 2:20:47Speaker 1: slot for the one-yard line. High snap. They hand it
- 2:20:50Speaker 1: to Dupree. Now Marshall keeps it out on the edge.
- 2:20:52Speaker 1: He doesn't get there. The Utah defense stops him. They
- 2:20:55Speaker 1: knock him out of bounds at the two-yard line. It
- 2:20:58Speaker 1: was the quarterback keeper, and Marshall stopped at the two,
- 2:21:03Speaker 1: and the defense comes up big for Utah. Timeout on
- 2:21:08Speaker 1: the field. 8.31 to play in the ballgame. That was
- 2:21:12Speaker 1: the stop Utah needed. Utah 34 and Kansas 24. And
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: this is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute
- 2:21:22Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
- 2:21:24Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
- 2:21:28Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 2:21:32Speaker 1: That was the first time this year Kansas had not
- 2:21:35Speaker 1: scored when they were in the red zone. They were
- 2:21:37Speaker 1: 20 for 20 in the red zone. Up to that
- 2:21:40Speaker 1: point in time, Utah stops them at the one-yard line,
- 2:21:43Speaker 1: and they'll get it back. Rabbit Evans will get credit,
- 2:21:47Speaker 1: but you said John O'Hall was there too, Sly.
- 2:21:49Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and that's been the issue tonight is even
- 2:21:51Speaker 3: when you get Dylan Edwards and even Isaiah Marshall out
- 2:21:54Speaker 3: on the edge, they're able to get that because of
- 2:21:56Speaker 3: their speed, get those couple extra yards, but Rabbit Evans...
- 2:21:59Speaker 3: Gets there, wraps him up, but Isaiah Marshall still has
- 2:22:03Speaker 3: the opportunity to.
- 2:22:03Speaker 4: Stretch it out over the goal line.
- 2:22:05Speaker 3: But championship effort is multiple people around the ball, and
- 2:22:08Speaker 3: Jonah Hall makes sure that he doesn't get in the
- 2:22:10Speaker 3: end zone. Gets the ball back to the offense. Great
- 2:22:13Speaker 3: job by this defense.
- 2:22:14Speaker 1: 99-yard field here for Utah with a 10-point lead and 8.31
- 2:22:18Speaker 1: to play in the ball game. Devin Dampier and Wayshawn
- 2:22:23Speaker 1: Parker lining up five yards deep in the end zone,
- 2:22:25Speaker 1: the north end zone, moving south. It quiets in the
- 2:22:32Speaker 1: north end zone right now. Here's Devon. Wants the snap.
- 2:22:35Speaker 1: Takes the snap. Gives it to Wayshawn Parker who barely
- 2:22:38Speaker 1: gets back to the line of scrimmage. He may have
- 2:22:40Speaker 1: picked up a yard to the two yard line but
- 2:22:42Speaker 1: not much. Kansas jumped right on top of him quickly.
- 2:22:45Speaker 1: Second down and nine.
- 2:22:46Speaker 4: Coming up.
- 2:22:47Speaker 3: This defensive front is doing a terrific job against our
- 2:22:50Speaker 3: own line right now.
- 2:22:51Speaker 4: They are stalemating guys pushing offensive linemen back.
- 2:22:55Speaker 3: We're not able to reestablish the line of scrimmage like
- 2:22:57Speaker 3: we have been the past few weeks.
- 2:22:59Speaker 1: Second down and nine for the two-yard line now for Utah.
- 2:23:01Speaker 1: Two receivers, two tight ends in the tailback way, Sean Parker.
- 2:23:05Speaker 1: And a play action, throw it out in the flat.
- 2:23:07Speaker 1: That ball's caught to the five, to the ten. And
- 2:23:10Speaker 1: very close goes Braden Pagan to first down. Yardage will
- 2:23:13Speaker 1: be about a half a yard shy at about the
- 2:23:15Speaker 1: ten and a half yard line. Pagan's had himself a
- 2:23:18Speaker 1: really nice night tonight as well for Utah. That's his
- 2:23:20Speaker 1: seventh grab. for 75 yards.
- 2:23:22Speaker 4: Yeah, him and Lincoln Johnson's done terrific tonight. There's just
- 2:23:26Speaker 4: a hot route, right? It's an RPL, right?
- 2:23:29Speaker 3: You see, you had a run plate called, but if
- 2:23:31Speaker 3: that slot is open, you throw it hot and see
- 2:23:33Speaker 3: what you can get.
- 2:23:34Speaker 1: Devin Dampier motioning out to the far left side. Wayshawn
- 2:23:36Speaker 1: Parker is the Wildcat tailback. He brings a man in motion.
- 2:23:42Speaker 1: Keeps it himself. He's in the open field. There he goes.
- 2:23:44Speaker 4: 30, 35, 40, 45, 50. 30, 20.
- 2:23:48Speaker 1: They're not going to get him.
- 2:23:51Speaker 4: It's a house call for LeSean Parker.
- 2:23:53Speaker 1: 90 yards right up the middle and into the end
- 2:24:00Speaker 1: zone for a Utah touchdown.
- 2:24:16Speaker 4: Exactly what you wanted, right? You called it. You said
- 2:24:20Speaker 4: he missed that 94-yarder a couple weeks ago.
- 2:24:23Speaker 3: There you go, 90 yards to pay there. An absolutely
- 2:24:25Speaker 3: stellar job by Rayshon Parker.
- 2:24:27Speaker 1: That will do. Three plays, 99 yards. And Rayshon Parker
- 2:24:34Speaker 1: from north to south here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The PAT
- 2:24:38Speaker 1: is up and good after the Pepsi touchdown. And Utah
- 2:24:44Speaker 1: now leads Kansas 41 to 24. Parker 15 carries 162
- 2:24:51Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. And Utah leads it by 17
- 2:24:55Speaker 1: with a timeout on the field. This is Utah football
- 2:24:59Speaker 1: from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 2:25:03Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
- 2:25:06Speaker 5: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 2:25:14Speaker 1: 7-13 to play in the ball game. Utah's last three
- 2:25:17Speaker 1: possessions on offense. 82 yards a touchdown. 75 yards a touchdown.
- 2:25:23Speaker 1: 99 yards and a touchdown. And the defense coming up
- 2:25:26Speaker 1: with a big fourth down stop on the goal line.
- 2:25:28Speaker 1: Let's go down to Zach Moss. Zach, that's your guy.
- 2:25:30Speaker 1: What'd you see on that play?
- 2:25:32Speaker 2: There's something about that wildcat run that he loves. He
- 2:25:36Speaker 2: can figure out a way to get in his own
- 2:25:38Speaker 2: from anywhere on the field. So I'm happy he finally
- 2:25:40Speaker 2: got that touchdown after that long one got called back
- 2:25:43Speaker 2: a few weeks ago.
- 2:25:43Speaker 4: So You know, put the ball in his hand in
- 2:25:45Speaker 4: the crunch time and let him make a play.
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: By the way, Zach, that run by Wayshawn Parker was
- 2:25:53Speaker 1: one yard shy of your longest run. You had a
- 2:25:55Speaker 1: 91-yard rush for a touchdown in Utah.
- 2:25:58Speaker 4: Oh, well, would you look at that.
- 2:26:00Speaker 1: So Wayshawn's still got a little something to do to
- 2:26:02Speaker 1: catch you, but he's had a nice game here tonight.
- 2:26:04Speaker 1: 15 carries, 162 yards, and two touchdowns. And they needed
- 2:26:08Speaker 1: that one.
- 2:26:09Speaker 4: Would you look at that?
- 2:26:12Speaker 3: Yeah man, I I remember that run by Zach at
- 2:26:14Speaker 3: Oregon State. He's just jets to the end zone man.
- 2:26:18Speaker 3: They had no angles that could catch him on that one.
- 2:26:21Speaker 1: And way Sean Parker did the same thing right there
- 2:26:23Speaker 1: for Utah. Another big game for the young man from Sacramento,
- 2:26:27Speaker 1: CA is the kick by Dylan Curtis goes out at
- 2:26:30Speaker 1: the back of the end zone and you tell me
- 2:26:32Speaker 1: the 17 point lead in 713 to play. You'd like
- 2:26:36Speaker 1: to think if you get a stop here defensively, Zach
- 2:26:38Speaker 1: or a slide that would that would do it for
- 2:26:40Speaker 1: the ball game here for Utah.
- 2:26:42Speaker 3: It would be a gut punch right here, but you
- 2:26:43Speaker 3: got to understand that, you know, Kansas, as they already
- 2:26:47Speaker 3: have been, are trying to go for the pass.
- 2:26:48Speaker 4: So your DBs, get your eyes. It's all about your eyes.
- 2:26:53Speaker 4: What are you looking at here? What are you seeing
- 2:26:55Speaker 4: on these routes? What are they trying to get at
- 2:26:58Speaker 4: with their alignment before the snap?
- 2:27:00Speaker 3: And once they get off the snap, what are they
- 2:27:02Speaker 3: doing to get yourself in position?
- 2:27:03Speaker 1: First and ten, Jay Hawks. Empty backfield for Zeke Marshall
- 2:27:06Speaker 1: as he motions Dylan Edwards out for the 25-yard line.
- 2:27:09Speaker 1: Here comes pressure. Looking out to his right. Scrambling back
- 2:27:13Speaker 1: to his left. Throwing down the field. Caught.
- 2:27:15Speaker 4: Again.
- 2:27:16Speaker 1: Cam Pickett. Out to the 45-yard line. They'll give him
- 2:27:19Speaker 1: the 46-yard line for 21 yards. Again, that's Zig Marshall.
- 2:27:23Speaker 1: Now over 300 for the ball game. Just making a play.
- 2:27:26Speaker 1: And they're going to go fast now. Marshall back to pass.
- 2:27:33Speaker 1: Surveys all day. Throws in the flat. Has his man
- 2:27:36Speaker 1: at the 50. At the 45. At the 40. Up
- 2:27:38Speaker 1: the sideline. And out of bounds. at the Utah 28
- 2:27:41Speaker 1: goes Dylan Edwards. I don't know what's going on with
- 2:27:44Speaker 1: Utah's defense tonight, Zach. Or I mean Sly. I keep
- 2:27:46Speaker 1: calling you Zach. Sly. I just, I don't, I don't
- 2:27:48Speaker 1: know what it is.
- 2:27:50Speaker 4: Yeah, they're a little out of sync right now, and
- 2:27:53Speaker 4: it's just a good place.
- 2:27:54Speaker 3: I think that the defense is frustrated that they can't
- 2:27:56Speaker 3: get Isaiah Marshall down, and as.
- 2:27:58Speaker 4: Much as we are from seeing the booth that, come on.
- 2:28:00Speaker 3: Get this guy down, the defense is too, and this
- 2:28:03Speaker 3: is the thing about any play. You can't have the
- 2:28:05Speaker 3: last play.
- 2:28:05Speaker 4: Affect the next play.
- 2:28:06Speaker 1: Four wide receivers in the pattern on first and ten
- 2:28:08Speaker 1: for the Utah 29. Took them just two plays to
- 2:28:11Speaker 1: move from the 35 to the 29-yard line. Here comes
- 2:28:14Speaker 1: pressure right up the gut on Isaiah Marshall, and he
- 2:28:17Speaker 1: throws it incomplete, trying to get that ball to the tailback.
- 2:28:21Speaker 1: People want to hit a receiver in the area. The
- 2:28:24Speaker 1: running back was right there. Now, it didn't get back
- 2:28:26Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, but the running back was
- 2:28:29Speaker 1: right there in the area. He threw it right at
- 2:28:30Speaker 1: his feet. I don't think that's going to be intentional grounding.
- 2:28:35Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Scali's favorite play right there when he was
- 2:28:38Speaker 3: a player. That's the safety middle dog blitz. Had multiple
- 2:28:42Speaker 3: safeties come right up the middle really quick.
- 2:28:44Speaker 4: Isaiah Marshall with great recognition to get rid of the football.
- 2:28:48Speaker 1: Second down and 10 now as the crowd doesn't like it.
- 2:28:51Speaker 1: They'll break the huddle, line up in a pistol formation.
- 2:28:55Speaker 1: Jackson pass again for Marshall throwing down the field looking
- 2:28:58Speaker 1: to the end zone Incomplete but pass interference gonna be
- 2:29:02Speaker 1: called on Utah.
- 2:29:03Speaker 3: You're gonna call it, but that's back and forth The
- 2:29:05Speaker 3: golf is a guy's doing the same stuff.
- 2:29:07Speaker 1: They're just throwing the ball up at the point time
- 2:29:09Speaker 1: But Utah's defensive backs are not getting their heads around
- 2:29:12Speaker 1: on the ball here Which.
- 2:29:13Speaker 3: Is kind of alarming we talked coming into this game
- 2:29:16Speaker 3: talking about how well these guys were doing in man
- 2:29:18Speaker 3: coverage and And we're just not.
- 2:29:20Speaker 4: Pass interference.
- 2:29:21Speaker 6: Defense number one.
- 2:29:22Speaker 4: 15-yard penalty.
- 2:29:23Speaker 6: Automatic first down.
- 2:29:25Speaker 1: They were trying to get that ball to Nazi Cox.
- 2:29:27Speaker 1: And Rabbit Evans, who made the great play on the
- 2:29:29Speaker 1: goal line before, got called for pass interference right there.
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: 15 yards. We'll take it to the Utah. 14-yard line.
- 2:29:36Speaker 1: And Kansas continues in business. This game's not over yet. 6.04
- 2:29:39Speaker 1: to play.
- 2:29:44Speaker 3: Yeah, bubbles are not right there. There's back and forth
- 2:29:47Speaker 3: hand fighting, but it's always the second day that gets caught.
- 2:29:49Speaker 1: Here we go as they shift personnel around. Edwards in
- 2:29:53Speaker 1: the backfield. Utah crowd making some noise right now. They're
- 2:29:56Speaker 1: coming after Marshall again. He's throwing out in the flat incomplete.
- 2:30:00Speaker 1: He just brought a pressure straight up the gut that time.
- 2:30:04Speaker 1: Trying to get that ball to Naze Cox. I think
- 2:30:08Speaker 1: that's what you're going to have to do because if
- 2:30:09Speaker 1: you don't bring that pressure, he's got all day to
- 2:30:11Speaker 1: throw and he's finding everybody open.
- 2:30:13Speaker 4: Yeah, and they got to get home. This pressure has
- 2:30:16Speaker 4: to get home.
- 2:30:17Speaker 3: The biggest issue tonight is we're bringing pressure, but the
- 2:30:21Speaker 3: quarterback's able to extend the play out of the pressure
- 2:30:24Speaker 3: and guys are coming open late.
- 2:30:26Speaker 1: Second down and 10 for the 14 yard line. Marshall
- 2:30:28Speaker 1: to pass again. Looking pressure spins away from it again.
- 2:30:33Speaker 1: Zeke Marshall looking down the field, throwing toward the end zone.
- 2:30:36Speaker 4: Incomplete.
- 2:30:38Speaker 1: Again, they had a chance to sack him and couldn't
- 2:30:41Speaker 1: do it. I know what they'll be working on in
- 2:30:43Speaker 1: practice this week, Sly. Get that quarterback to the ground.
- 2:30:46Speaker 1: If you can't tackle your own quarterback, it'll be the
- 2:30:48Speaker 1: scout team quarterback.
- 2:30:50Speaker 4: Good luck to those guys. But here's my thing.
- 2:30:53Speaker 3: You've got to knock and give credit to an outstanding athlete.
- 2:30:57Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 2:30:58Speaker 7: Right?
- 2:30:58Speaker 4: Isaiah Marshall is an outstanding athlete.
- 2:31:00Speaker 3: It is not easy to avoid the pressure the way
- 2:31:03Speaker 3: he has been tonight, but he's making it look easy.
- 2:31:05Speaker 1: Four out of 12 on third down. Utah showing pressure
- 2:31:08Speaker 1: again here on Zeke Marshall. He's going to change the play.
- 2:31:11Speaker 1: Four wide receivers. Watch the back end of the backfield.
- 2:31:14Speaker 1: Here they come. Marshall to the end zone, up and incomplete.
- 2:31:18Speaker 1: And a flag fly is going to call holding on Utah.
- 2:31:23Speaker 1: That's exactly what they called. They were trying to get
- 2:31:25Speaker 1: that ball to Cam Pickett. It's going to be defensive
- 2:31:27Speaker 1: holding and an automatic first down. Here's Mike McCabe.
- 2:31:40Speaker 2: Holding.
- 2:31:42Speaker 6: Defense number 23. Off the distance to the goal. Automatic
- 2:31:45Speaker 6: first down.
- 2:31:46Speaker 1: Jackson Benny whistled for that infraction. Gives him an automatic
- 2:31:51Speaker 1: first down. Inside the 10 to the 7-yard line. That's
- 2:31:56Speaker 1: the ninth Utah penalty tonight. They have been costly. That
- 2:32:00Speaker 1: would have been fourth down coming up. Instead, it's first
- 2:32:02Speaker 1: and goal at the 7.
- 2:32:02Speaker 4: It's normally the timing on that, right?
- 2:32:05Speaker 3: Because you're trying to reroute the receiver.
- 2:32:07Speaker 1: Here we go, Marshall in the backfield. Going to run
- 2:32:11Speaker 1: that reverse pass to the end zone. Batting down! Excellent
- 2:32:19Speaker 1: work by Scooby Davis to get his head around and
- 2:32:21Speaker 1: knock that pass down.
- 2:32:22Speaker 4: And he's mad at himself right now.
- 2:32:24Speaker 1: Because that could have been a pick.
- 2:32:25Speaker 4: Catch it! Just catch it! We ain't playing volleyball. Catch it!
- 2:32:30Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, they don't make
- 2:32:32Speaker 3: the play. But if he bats that ball and somebody
- 2:32:34Speaker 3: else catches it in the wrong color... That's not good,
- 2:32:37Speaker 3: but he's got to catch that ball. That's an opportunity
- 2:32:40Speaker 3: that we were talking about, and he knows that. Here
- 2:32:44Speaker 3: we go.
- 2:32:44Speaker 4: That's why he's frustrated.
- 2:32:45Speaker 1: Second down and goal from the seven-yard line. Marshall again,
- 2:32:48Speaker 1: pressure again in his face, throws over the middle, and incomplete,
- 2:32:52Speaker 1: almost intercepted. Naze Cox was the intended receiver again, and
- 2:32:56Speaker 1: Scooby Davis comes up with that one. He's running the
- 2:32:58Speaker 1: other way, and Utah's got to pick six for a
- 2:33:00Speaker 1: 23rd straight game.
- 2:33:01Speaker 3: As he did against Kansas last year. He'd like to
- 2:33:05Speaker 3: get back.
- 2:33:05Speaker 1: In zone and it would have been about the same distance.
- 2:33:07Speaker 1: It was 97 yards a year ago. Third down and
- 2:33:09Speaker 1: gold coming.
- 2:33:10Speaker 4: Up and that's what we need this year. We need
- 2:33:11Speaker 4: our pick six on defense.
- 2:33:14Speaker 1: Here we go. North End Zone getting loud. Doing its
- 2:33:19Speaker 1: part third goal from the seven wide receivers all over
- 2:33:23Speaker 1: the left side. Now they shift around Isaiah Marshall going
- 2:33:27Speaker 1: under center. He'll turn through the flanker screen to the
- 2:33:31Speaker 1: outside and it's going nowhere. They're going to say his
- 2:33:36Speaker 1: knee went down. Or is it incomplete? They're going to
- 2:33:38Speaker 1: say incomplete. Back at the 7-yard line. So, fourth down
- 2:33:42Speaker 1: and goal coming up here at the 7. Yeah, that
- 2:33:46Speaker 1: ball hit the ground.
- 2:33:47Speaker 4: Yeah, it touched. So, fourth down and goal. Great call
- 2:33:49Speaker 4: by the ref. Great eyes.
- 2:33:53Speaker 1: Five minutes and 30 seconds remain. Kansas is going to
- 2:33:55Speaker 1: go for it here. They're down three scores.
- 2:33:57Speaker 4: Why not?
- 2:33:58Speaker 1: They're not going to waste time with a field goal.
- 2:34:00Speaker 1: You need touchdowns. Jalen Dupree in the ball game. Utah
- 2:34:08Speaker 1: came up with a stop on fourth down last time.
- 2:34:10Speaker 1: What do they do right here? Marshall on the gun.
- 2:34:15Speaker 1: Pickett goes in motion. Changing the play.
- 2:34:20Speaker 4: It's loud.
- 2:34:24Speaker 1: Marshall to pass. Pressure coming. End zone. Off his hands.
- 2:34:28Speaker 4: Incomplete.
- 2:34:29Speaker 1: Oh, he had a man wide open. McMillan couldn't hold it.
- 2:34:33Speaker 1: And the Utah defense gets a stop. He was so
- 2:34:38Speaker 1: wide open. And that ball sailed high. And the Utah
- 2:34:42Speaker 1: defense comes up with a stop with 525 to play
- 2:34:45Speaker 1: the ball game. Timeout on the field. We'll talk about
- 2:34:48Speaker 1: it when we get back. Utah 41. In Kansas 24,
- 2:34:52Speaker 1: this is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute
- 2:34:55Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
- 2:34:57Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Smiths
- 2:35:01Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 2:35:04Speaker 1: 525 to play here at Rice-Eccles, 41-24 in favor of
- 2:35:10Speaker 1: the home side, the University of Utah. Second half being
- 2:35:13Speaker 1: brought to you by University of Utah Health. Also brought
- 2:35:15Speaker 1: to you by Smiths, proud sponsor of Utah Athletics. So
- 2:35:19Speaker 1: the Utah defense gets another stop in the red zone again.
- 2:35:22Speaker 1: Now the offense comes out. 525 to play. They had
- 2:35:27Speaker 1: a 99-yard field last time. And Wayshawn Parker went 90
- 2:35:31Speaker 1: yards on a touchdown on third down. By the way,
- 2:35:33Speaker 1: that was the longest touchdown run for Utah. The first
- 2:35:36Speaker 1: 90-plus yard run since T.J. Pledger. Win 96 yards against
- 2:35:41Speaker 1: Stanford back in 2021. Geez, we've called a lot of
- 2:35:44Speaker 1: games together. And we have. A lot of good games.
- 2:35:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:35:47Speaker 1: They haven't called many bad games.
- 2:35:49Speaker 4: Right, right, right.
- 2:35:49Speaker 1: And exciting games. Let's see if Wayshon can put a
- 2:35:52Speaker 1: few more on here. Maybe get a 200-yard night. He's
- 2:35:55Speaker 1: hit up, what, $ 1. 62 right now? We'll see. First down.
- 2:35:59Speaker 1: They throw it to Parker, and it's knocked down. Trying
- 2:36:02Speaker 1: to get that ball out to him in the flat.
- 2:36:04Speaker 1: David Santiago knocked it down. A little RPO, and Santiago said,
- 2:36:11Speaker 1: I'll just put my left paw up here and knock
- 2:36:13Speaker 1: that thing down, and he did.
- 2:36:14Speaker 4: He's played great.
- 2:36:15Speaker 1: He has. And we talked a lot about Leroy Harris,
- 2:36:18Speaker 1: who's been good, but Santiago's been their best defensive end tonight.
- 2:36:21Speaker 4: Hands down. And they played great all across that front
- 2:36:24Speaker 4: right there, but he's definitely the front runner.
- 2:36:26Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Kansas going to crowd the
- 2:36:27Speaker 1: line of scrimmage here. Second down and ten pistol formation.
- 2:36:31Speaker 1: Utah from their own seven-yard line trying to ice this game.
- 2:36:34Speaker 1: Hand off, Way Sean Parker busting to the outside. Ooh,
- 2:36:37Speaker 1: he's tackled behind. Now he keeps his feet, pushes the pile,
- 2:36:41Speaker 1: and gets out to the 16-yard line. He picked up
- 2:36:44Speaker 1: nine yards. It looked like he was going to be
- 2:36:45Speaker 1: stopped at the backfield. How does he not go down?
- 2:36:48Speaker 1: He's got 171 on the night now. It's third down
- 2:36:50Speaker 1: and one.
- 2:36:51Speaker 6: First charge timeout, Kansas.
- 2:36:55Speaker 1: Lance Lack, he's going to play this one out to
- 2:36:56Speaker 1: the end, and I don't blame him. His team's played
- 2:36:58Speaker 1: really good, really hard here tonight.
- 2:37:01Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is just effort and keeping those legs moving.
- 2:37:04Speaker 3: That's what you tell running backs. Number one, keep your
- 2:37:07Speaker 3: legs moving.
- 2:37:08Speaker 1: Keep it up.
- 2:37:09Speaker 4: One, I think it protects you from.
- 2:37:10Speaker 3: Injury, too, by moving your legs like that. But you
- 2:37:14Speaker 3: keep in the pile because you never know what can happen.
- 2:37:16Speaker 3: You get a missed tackle, anything. And that's on the defense.
- 2:37:18Speaker 3: On the defense, we get guys wrapped up. But even
- 2:37:22Speaker 3: if you're yanking at the ball, you know, mentally it'll
- 2:37:25Speaker 3: tell you to stop.
- 2:37:26Speaker 4: Running your legs because you're worried about the football.
- 2:37:27Speaker 3: And that's how you can get guys down away Parker,
- 2:37:30Speaker 3: even with guys yanking at the football, keeps his legs
- 2:37:33Speaker 3: moving and then plays like that where it should be
- 2:37:36Speaker 3: zero gain or even a one-yard loss, ends.
- 2:37:38Speaker 4: Up being a nine-yard gain right there and makes a
- 2:37:41Speaker 4: third and short.
- 2:37:42Speaker 1: 5'11 to play, third down and one Utah at their
- 2:37:45Speaker 1: own 16. Wayshawn Parker stays in the ballgame with Devin Dampierre.
- 2:37:53Speaker 1: Devon surveys the defense. Kansas crowding that line of scrimmage now.
- 2:37:56Speaker 1: Going to roll him to the right, throw it out
- 2:37:58Speaker 1: in the flat to Wayshawn Parker. He's got first down yardage. 25-30, 35,
- 2:38:02Speaker 1: and down to the 38-yard line. It's a 22-yard gain
- 2:38:06Speaker 1: on a pass in the flat to Wayshawn Parker. He's
- 2:38:10Speaker 1: going to go over 200 total yards in all likelihood tonight.
- 2:38:13Speaker 1: Will he get 200 yards rushing? We'll see. That was
- 2:38:16Speaker 1: a big first down for Utah with 4.49 o'clock running
- 2:38:19Speaker 1: to play in the ballgame. Wayshawn will check out here
- 2:38:21Speaker 1: on first down.
- 2:38:24Speaker 3: Yeah, just all production, right? We talked about it at
- 2:38:28Speaker 3: the start of this quarter. This is Wayshon Parker time.
- 2:38:31Speaker 3: You just feed him in all kinds of different facets,
- 2:38:34Speaker 3: from handing the ball off, throwing the ball off.
- 2:38:36Speaker 4: Whatever you do, get the ball in Wayshon Parker's hands.
- 2:38:39Speaker 1: That's exactly what we've done here in the fourth quarter.
- 2:38:41Speaker 1: Utah's got 512 yards of total offense tonight. Kansas 391.
- 2:38:45Speaker 1: First down, handoff. Taking his time and running forward, Daniel Bray.
- 2:38:49Speaker 1: He picks up about a yard and a half, close
- 2:38:51Speaker 1: to the 40-yard line. Kansas is going to take their
- 2:38:53Speaker 1: second timeout.
- 2:38:55Speaker 6: Second charge timeout. Kansas, 30 seconds.
- 2:39:01Speaker 1: 4.16 to play. Utah 41, Kansas 24.
- 2:39:02Speaker 6: Game clock operator agrees to store the game clock to 4.18.
- 2:39:05Speaker 1: So now you're ready for another late-night game next week
- 2:39:09Speaker 1: because we got one in Boulder. 8.15 start time. I
- 2:39:14Speaker 1: don't think they'll dial it back to 6 for us
- 2:39:16Speaker 1: this time unless Mother Nature has something else in store.
- 2:39:19Speaker 1: From Folsom Field against Colorado Buffaloes who were on a
- 2:39:21Speaker 1: bye this week. Deion's team hadn't been very good this year.
- 2:39:25Speaker 1: But going on the road, as we've said, you never
- 2:39:28Speaker 1: know what's going to happen at the Big 12 Conference.
- 2:39:31Speaker 4: We've seen it tonight. I didn't expect this performance from Kansas.
- 2:39:35Speaker 4: Very resilient, very tough.
- 2:39:37Speaker 3: Great job on that defensive front tonight.
- 2:39:40Speaker 4: But, yeah, next week we'll be in prime time.
- 2:39:43Speaker 1: I see what you did right there.
- 2:39:44Speaker 4: Yeah, you see that?
- 2:39:45Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure.
- 2:39:45Speaker 4: I saw what you did right there. I just wanted
- 2:39:46Speaker 4: to make sure somebody tapped that right there.
- 2:39:49Speaker 1: Steven Chavez, Soto in the ballgame here on second down
- 2:39:51Speaker 1: and calling about eight. Two tight ends on the left-hand side.
- 2:39:55Speaker 1: Weyshawn Parker getting a rest right now as they bring
- 2:39:57Speaker 1: Daniel Bray in motion. Devin Dampier gives it to Daniel Bray.
- 2:40:01Speaker 1: Daniel's got the edge, turns the corner, 45, and out
- 2:40:04Speaker 1: of bounds at about the 47. We're going to have
- 2:40:05Speaker 1: a flag and probably a hold here on Utah out
- 2:40:09Speaker 1: on the edge. Probably going to get who? A tight end?
- 2:40:12Speaker 1: Was that who that was that was out there? Maybe Benny?
- 2:40:18Speaker 1: We'll see. Here's our referee.
- 2:40:22Speaker 6: Holding offense number 25. 10-yard penalty. Replays second down. Both
- 2:40:27Speaker 6: Benny and Chavez Soto were out there. That one's going
- 2:40:29Speaker 6: to go on Steven Chavez Soto. And that'll back him
- 2:40:32Speaker 6: up 10 yards. It'll be second down and long here.
- 2:40:34Speaker 1: Clock has stopped momentarily with 4.12 to play. And second
- 2:40:38Speaker 1: down and about.
- 2:40:40Speaker 6: Third and final charge timeout. Kansas, 30 seconds.
- 2:40:46Speaker 1: Interesting. Final timeout taken by Kansas. Second down and call
- 2:40:51Speaker 1: it about 17, almost 18 yards coming up here for Utah.
- 2:40:54Speaker 1: Here we go, second down. We'll call it about 18
- 2:40:56Speaker 1: to go for Utah. From their own 31-yard line, Kansas
- 2:41:00Speaker 1: had the timeouts. Vampir, going to keep it himself. Devin
- 2:41:05Speaker 1: up the field, 35 to the outside, 40, 45, and
- 2:41:06Speaker 1: first down yardage. Up to the 49-yard line. He needed 18.
- 2:41:13Speaker 1: He got 19. And that's an Ivory Holmes first down.
- 2:41:17Speaker 1: Best run of the night there by Devin Dampier.
- 2:41:20Speaker 4: Yeah, great job of Devin Dampier. Great vision on the cutback.
- 2:41:23Speaker 3: And also a great job by staying in bounds to
- 2:41:26Speaker 3: keep the clock moving right here. This is great recognition
- 2:41:28Speaker 3: by him because he could have just ran out of
- 2:41:30Speaker 3: bounds after he got the first down.
- 2:41:32Speaker 4: But he doesn't. He keeps that clock moving.
- 2:41:35Speaker 1: 340 and clock running to play. First and 10 Utah
- 2:41:37Speaker 1: at their own 49-yard line. Daniel Bray motions into the
- 2:41:40Speaker 1: backfield the night for way Sean Parker appears to be done.
- 2:41:45Speaker 1: And they handed the Daniel Bray picks his way off
- 2:41:47Speaker 1: that left side picks up more yards to the Kansas
- 2:41:50Speaker 1: 47 yard line clock continues to run. Kansas can't stop it.
- 2:41:54Speaker 1: They're out of timeouts. Under three to play second down
- 2:41:59Speaker 1: in six for the Kansas 47 yard line. Daniel Bray
- 2:42:02Speaker 1: stays in the ball game. Three receivers lined up with
- 2:42:04Speaker 1: right hand side like a tight end in motion. Handed
- 2:42:08Speaker 1: again to Daniel Bray. Bounces off one man. Bounces off
- 2:42:12Speaker 1: another man. Keeps those feet moving and picks up first
- 2:42:15Speaker 1: down yardage to the Kansas 40. That's an Ivory Holmes
- 2:42:19Speaker 1: first down and a hard run by Daniel Bray. And
- 2:42:22Speaker 1: that should take us to the two-minute timeout here at
- 2:42:25Speaker 1: Rice-Eccles Stadium. Timeout will be back to Rapids on the
- 2:42:29Speaker 1: other side. This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and

- 2:42:48Speaker 1: And Utah improves to 5-0. Final score here tonight at
- 2:42:52Speaker 1: Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah 41 and Kansas 24. And it is
- 2:42:57Speaker 1: a great night to be a Ute here in Salt
