Speaker 1: meeting in the rivalry game. It's the Utes and the
0:08
Speaker 1: BYU Cougars. We welcome you inside of Rice-Eccles for a
0:12
Speaker 1: monumental matchup, perhaps the biggest matchup in this storied history
0:16
Speaker 1: between the third-ranked Utes and the eighth- and ninth-ranked BYU Cougars.
0:21
Speaker 1: And today, there is so much on the line. Conference implications,
0:25
Speaker 1: bragging rights, and of course, National implications as well. Stevenson, Sylvester,
0:31
Speaker 1: what do you make of this matchup today, and what
0:33
Speaker 1: will this game look like over the next three hours?
0:35
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. I just feel like I'm about to
0:38
Speaker 2: watch the movie 300. This is an epic battle that's
0:40
Speaker 2: about to happen today. Two evenly matched teams. We're going
0:43
Speaker 2: to get good on good football from start to finish
0:46
Speaker 2: every game. single time these guys line up against each
0:48
Speaker 2: other it's a battle especially in the first quarter of
0:51
Speaker 2: seeing exactly who's scripted who's prepared enough this game is
0:54
Speaker 2: going to be awesome man i cannot wait for this
0:56
Speaker 2: thing to kick off.
0:57
Speaker 1: It will kick off momentarily byu won the toss they've
1:01
Speaker 1: elected to defer so we're going to see devin damp
1:03
Speaker 1: here in that utah offense to begin things here this
1:06
Speaker 1: afternoon third member of our broadcast team is down in
1:09
Speaker 1: the sun we've not had a game start this early
1:12
Speaker 1: since 1996. Zach Moss, it doesn't sound like it's impacted
1:16
Speaker 1: the crowd in any way, shape, or form.
1:18
Speaker 2: Oh, no.
1:19
Speaker 3: Oh, no. This crowd is running with espresso through their veins, man.
1:23
Speaker 3: If you can't get up for a game like this,
1:25
Speaker 3: I feel bad for you guys, though, having to call
1:26
Speaker 3: it from upstairs. You're missing this energy, this environment. You
1:30
Speaker 3: guys might as well come on down here and call
1:32
Speaker 3: it from the sidelines with me today.
1:34
Speaker 2: But, no, I mean, it is ridiculous.
1:36
Speaker 3: This is one of the first times all year where,
1:39
Speaker 3: I'm kind of ready to go back and play a
1:40
Speaker 3: little bit and put down the cigars.
1:43
Speaker 1: I think Wayshot Parker would rather have the carries today. Zach,
1:47
Speaker 1: thank you for that sideline update. It's brought to you
1:49
Speaker 1: by Ken Garf. We hear you. BYU in the all blue,
1:53
Speaker 1: Utah in the all red. Exactly how it should be
1:56
Speaker 1: in this game. No other color scheme is needed when
2:00
Speaker 1: Utah and BYU square off. The Cougars will kick it
2:02
Speaker 1: from north to south. Back deep to receive the kick
2:05
Speaker 1: will be Daniel Bray and Kyrie Schultz. Morgan Scali said
2:10
Speaker 1: they've got to clean some things up in the kick
2:11
Speaker 1: return game. We'll see if they do it right here
2:14
Speaker 1: or if this will indeed be a touchback. We'll see.
2:17
Speaker 1: It's actually Monte Carvalho back along with Kyrie Scholes and
2:20
Speaker 1: not Daniel Bray today. It's a great day here. It's
2:24
Speaker 1: 52 degrees. Actually, it's 45, but feels like 52. The
2:29
Speaker 1: sun is shining bright. And we have a 101st consecutive
2:33
Speaker 1: sellout here. 99% red with a smattering of blue today
2:38
Speaker 1: here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah will get the ball first.
2:42
Speaker 1: And by the way. seven of the eight games they've
2:44
Speaker 1: played this year they have scored a touchdown on the
2:47
Speaker 1: opening drive they've outscored their opponents 89 to 6 in
2:51
Speaker 1: the first quarter this year sly if they're able to
2:53
Speaker 1: do that today it will start them out very well
2:56
Speaker 1: well in a.
2:56
Speaker 2: Rivalry game it's great to start fast because things kind
2:58
Speaker 2: of mellow out in that second and third quarter so
3:00
Speaker 2: if you can start the the game with some fireworks
3:02
Speaker 2: you have the early lead you can take the narrative
3:05
Speaker 2: of the game this is why it's It's good to
3:07
Speaker 2: start on offense in the first quarters because you get
3:10
Speaker 2: to dictate how this is going from the jump. So
3:12
Speaker 2: this first scripted series by Kevin McGiven is going to
3:15
Speaker 2: be so important to the rest of this game.
3:17
Speaker 1: It's my 15th rivalry game calling today. None have been bigger.
3:21
Speaker 1: So many things on the line here today. But first
3:24
Speaker 1: and foremost, you just have to simply win the football game.
3:27
Speaker 1: If you're the University of Utah, we are ready to
3:30
Speaker 1: go on a Saturday morning. So glad you're with us
3:33
Speaker 1: wherever you may be tuning in around the city of
3:35
Speaker 1: Salt Lake, around the state of Utah, around the country
3:39
Speaker 1: or around the world today. Dunn has it teed up
3:41
Speaker 1: at his own 35, kicks it a little bit of
3:43
Speaker 1: a knuckleball that will go out of the end zone.
3:46
Speaker 1: And a touchback for Utah. They'll begin first and 10
3:48
Speaker 1: at their own 25-yard line. Sly, what are you expecting
3:51
Speaker 1: on this opening drive to begin things for Utah?
3:53
Speaker 2: Devin Dampier with his legs. I think that's the best thing.
3:56
Speaker 2: You got to loosen this defense up. I know that
3:58
Speaker 2: if you're going to plan an attack of stopping Wayshawn Parker,
4:01
Speaker 2: they're going to do that. They're going to slant hard.
4:03
Speaker 2: They're going to be very aggressive. That means Devin Dampier
4:05
Speaker 2: has to be electric with his legs, dishing, dumping, and
4:09
Speaker 2: taking it with his legs. Not just running the football,
4:11
Speaker 2: but getting things open and allowing the receivers to take
4:14
Speaker 2: advantage of one-on-ones on the back end.
4:15
Speaker 1: Parker in the backfield, along with Devin Dampier, pistol formation.
4:20
Speaker 1: Semitao Longa, a rhino back, lined up at the left slot.
4:23
Speaker 1: Daniel Bray comes in motion. First down handoff, Wayshawn Parker.
4:26
Speaker 1: He's got the 30 and the 31-yard line. He'll pick
4:29
Speaker 1: up six yards on first down. Faletau Satuala made the
4:33
Speaker 1: tackle from the safety spot for BYU.
4:35
Speaker 2: I like that start right there. That's probably one of
4:37
Speaker 2: Zach Moss.
4:38
Speaker 1: Favorite plays.
4:38
Speaker 2: Just a little zone play right off the tackles, but
4:41
Speaker 2: good job of staying north to south by Wayshawn Parker,
4:43
Speaker 2: getting what you can get. I'll take six yards on
4:45
Speaker 2: first down.
4:46
Speaker 1: Burt Dicklin comes in the ballgame. He's a tailback. Two
4:48
Speaker 1: tights and two wides for Utah. Daniel Bray also in
4:52
Speaker 1: the ballgame now. Going to be a play-action pass. They've
4:56
Speaker 1: got Noah Benny wide open. He's got the 50, the 40,
4:58
Speaker 1: the 30. He's got the 20. A big play to
5:04
Speaker 1: the tight end, Noah Benny. 47 yards to the BYU
5:09
Speaker 1: 22-yard line.
5:13
Speaker 2: Got to get on it right here.
5:14
Speaker 4: Stay on him.
5:14
Speaker 2: After a big play, you got to hurry up to
5:16
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. Run another play. Keep this defense leaking.
5:19
Speaker 2: While this defense is thinking about that last play and
5:22
Speaker 2: whose fault it was, you got to get on them early.
5:24
Speaker 1: Great job by Utah. Utah going with tempo. Bray and
5:27
Speaker 1: Talonga in the backfield. First and 10 for the BYU 22.
5:31
Speaker 1: Bert Ficklin comes in motion. Devin Dampier hands that ball
5:34
Speaker 1: and keeps it himself. 20, 15, 10, 5. Touchdown. Touchdown.
5:41
Speaker 1: Dampier in to the north end.
5:44
Speaker 2: Zone from 22 yards out.
5:46
Speaker 1: And the Utes strike first on this Saturday morning. What
5:56
Speaker 1: a way to open a rivalry game Saturday. Three plays,
6:02
Speaker 1: 75 yards, and a touchdown.
6:06
Speaker 2: Woo, do you hear that crowd? Oh, my gosh, electricity
6:10
Speaker 2: through your veins. That's how you start. That's a great
6:12
Speaker 2: job of Utah taking advantage. Three plays and a touchdown.
6:15
Speaker 1: Awesome. High snap on the PAT. Dylan Curtis drills it through.
6:21
Speaker 1: Devin Dampier from 22 yards out, Utah 22% better, and
6:26
Speaker 1: they lead it 7-0 on a Pepsi touchdown.
6:29
Speaker 2: What I love about this play is he could have
6:31
Speaker 2: handed it off to Daniel Bray if he wanted to,
6:33
Speaker 2: but he's able to use Daniel Bray as an extra
6:35
Speaker 2: blocker on this. That's an extra man unaccounted for. And
6:38
Speaker 2: then again, what we've seen from the team down south
6:41
Speaker 2: the last few weeks is missed tackles. 18 missed tackles,
6:44
Speaker 2: 17 missed tackles. 18 missed tackles has been their stat
6:47
Speaker 2: for the last three games. And again, their star linebacker,
6:50
Speaker 2: Cade Huluave, misses a clear tackle right there. Devin Dampierce
6:54
Speaker 2: in end zone.
6:54
Speaker 1: Eight of nine games this year. Utah has scored a
6:57
Speaker 1: touchdown on their opening drive. They lead it here 7-0.
7:01
Speaker 1: We'll go down to Zach Moss after the kickoff to
7:03
Speaker 1: see what he saw. The big play, the 47-yard ball
7:06
Speaker 1: to Noah Benny, who was wide open behind the defense.
7:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great.
7:10
Speaker 2: As I said, there's so hard, so many things you
7:12
Speaker 2: have to watch for. What am I looking at this play?
7:14
Speaker 2: You bring the quarterback in, the backup quarterback in. Oh,
7:17
Speaker 2: he's on the other side. You motion Rayshon Parker or
7:20
Speaker 2: Daniel Bray out to the other side. You do a
7:22
Speaker 2: fake toss that way. You sneak the tight end on
7:24
Speaker 2: the back side. There's so many things you have to
7:26
Speaker 2: worry about if you're a defender.
7:28
Speaker 1: Dangerous return man Cannon DeVries stands in his own end zone.
7:31
Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis has it teed up in his own 35.
7:34
Speaker 1: 7-0 Utah. A minute and 15 seconds into the ball game.
7:39
Speaker 1: Curtis approaches, drives it high and end over end. And
7:42
Speaker 1: DeVries is going to bring this one out. Nope, he's
7:43
Speaker 1: going to let it go. Looked like he was going
7:45
Speaker 1: to bring it out.
7:45
Speaker 2: For a minute.
7:46
Speaker 1: He's good on the returns.
7:47
Speaker 5: Yes, he is.
7:47
Speaker 1: But he lets it go. And Bear Bachmeier of the
7:49
Speaker 1: BYU Cougars will begin things first and 10 at their
7:52
Speaker 1: own 25.
7:52
Speaker 2: It's always good to start. from ahead, especially as a defense.
7:56
Speaker 2: You're putting the defense behind. You're making them feel as
7:58
Speaker 2: if they got to catch up in this football game.
8:00
Speaker 1: It's great.
8:01
Speaker 2: Hopefully, Utah can get enough of a lead where they
8:03
Speaker 2: can pin their ears back and just get after Bear Bachmeier,
8:06
Speaker 2: but it's very important that you don't get too full
8:08
Speaker 2: of yourself right now. Just as easy as you scored,
8:11
Speaker 2: the other team can score, so they got to stay
8:13
Speaker 2: on their keys here.
8:14
Speaker 4: L.J.
8:14
Speaker 1: Martin in a tailback, back from the ankle injury, first
8:17
Speaker 1: and 10 BYU for their own 25. Motion up front.
8:21
Speaker 1: That's all of the crowd. BYU went early. It's gonna
8:23
Speaker 1: be a five-yard penalty. They get the right side. A
8:32
Speaker 1: referee Michael Vander Velde today. Back up up five yards
8:36
Speaker 1: to the 21st down and 15. Bear Bachmeier 19 and
8:40
Speaker 1: 3 as a starter for the BYU Cougars. He is
8:42
Speaker 1: very good. Four receivers set. LJ Martin, Utah with four
8:47
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. Snap back. They're going to
8:50
Speaker 1: run the option. Now a reverse on the near side.
8:53
Speaker 1: They've got the ball to the wide receiver. And that's
8:56
Speaker 1: going to be Legend Glasker who picks up four yards
9:00
Speaker 1: to the 24. It'll be second down and 11.
9:02
Speaker 2: I love it. Great keys right there by Jonah Hall.
9:05
Speaker 2: By the whole defense right there at pulling up that reverse.
9:07
Speaker 2: They want to get to the outside. The defense read
9:10
Speaker 2: their keys, made them turn back inside to the rest
9:12
Speaker 2: of the defense. You tackle them for a short game
9:14
Speaker 2: right there. Second down and long.
9:16
Speaker 1: Second down and 11 from the 24. Martin stays in
9:19
Speaker 1: the ballgame. They split three receivers wide to the left-hand side.
9:23
Speaker 1: Bachmeier out of the shotgun. Utah with five at the
9:26
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. JoJo Phillips in motion. Play action pass
9:30
Speaker 1: for Bachmeier. Dumps it off in the flat. He's got L.J. Martin,
9:33
Speaker 1: and he's got about four yards to about the 28-yard line.
9:36
Speaker 1: Knocked out of bounds by John Newhall. That's going to
9:38
Speaker 1: bring up third down. Third down and eight coming up.
9:44
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anybody in the stands right now
9:46
Speaker 2: that's sitting down. Not even the people in wheelchairs. I
9:48
Speaker 2: think everybody's standing up right now. It is so exciting,
9:51
Speaker 2: so loud. You look through this crowd, this sea of red.
9:54
Speaker 4: It is awesome.
9:55
Speaker 2: It's exactly what you want to see early and often.
9:58
Speaker 4: At 10 a.m., baby, here we go.
9:59
Speaker 1: BYU on third down this year, 50%. They're very good.
10:03
Speaker 1: Third down and seven from their own 28. Bachmeier to pass,
10:07
Speaker 1: fires to the outside. That's complete, but that is going
10:10
Speaker 1: to be short of the first down. He completes that
10:12
Speaker 1: ball to Sione Moa, but Moa's going to be about
10:14
Speaker 1: three yards shy of the first down, and that'll bring
10:16
Speaker 1: up fourth down. The Utah defense gets a three and out.
10:19
Speaker 2: Great job right there. Again, we weren't lined up all
10:21
Speaker 2: the way right there, but good job of running to
10:23
Speaker 2: the football. Got to get lined up quick. That was
10:26
Speaker 2: a very good job of being able to come through
10:28
Speaker 2: with that because that very easily could have been a
10:29
Speaker 2: broken tackle. We also have to remember Kalani will go
10:31
Speaker 2: for it on a fake punt down in his end.
10:33
Speaker 1: Fourth down and three. Monte Carvalho stands at his own
10:36
Speaker 1: 22-yard line. Fuller shirts the punter very good one for
10:40
Speaker 1: BYU stands his own 18 rugby style punt end over end.
10:44
Speaker 1: This one's a bad kick. It takes a hop and
10:47
Speaker 1: goes out of bounds at about the Utah 32 yard line.
10:49
Speaker 1: Nowhere near Colorado and we've got a timeout on the field.
10:53
Speaker 1: 36 yard punt no return. We've got a flag down
10:56
Speaker 1: on the play. Let's see what this flag is. It's
10:58
Speaker 1: on the far sideline. You hope it's not against Utah
11:03
Speaker 1: that could give. want to push him back and.
11:07
Speaker 2: Give another punt he's going to decline it.
11:09
Speaker 1: Yeah that's good starting field position.
11:11
Speaker 2: Yeah it might be a legal procedure illegal formation number
11:14
Speaker 2: 17 lined up in the backfield kicking team that five-yard
11:17
Speaker 2: penalty will be.
11:17
Speaker 6: Added to the end of the kit first down utah timeout.

12:01
Speaker 1: sideline we go. Zach Moss. Zach, a pretty good start
12:04
Speaker 1: here for Utah. What did you make of the opening drive?
12:06
Speaker 2: Pretty good start, man.
12:07
Speaker 3: It looks like what we're known to do, what we've
12:09
Speaker 3: been doing all season, man. So we've got to go
12:11
Speaker 3: do it again. The defense gave us a great field
12:13
Speaker 3: position to get this ball back. It's time to go
12:15
Speaker 3: put another touchdown on the board.
12:16
Speaker 1: Thank you, Zach. Sideline update brought to you by Ken Garf.

12:24
Speaker 1: We're just underway, first quarter at Rice-Eckel Stadium. There is
12:27
Speaker 1: so much red in this stadium, dots of blue around it.
12:31
Speaker 1: What a day, what a crowd, what an atmosphere for
12:33
Speaker 1: college football here in early November. One of many great
12:37
Speaker 1: games on the college football docket today. So glad you're
12:40
Speaker 1: with us wherever you might be today. Thank you to
12:42
Speaker 1: our friends at Pepsi and Smith's. Official partners of University
12:46
Speaker 1: of Utah football. First and 10, Utah. Devin Dampier breaks
12:49
Speaker 1: the team huddle. He's got Hunter Andrews and Wayshawn Parker
12:56
Speaker 1: in the backfield with him. Now he motions Wayshawn Parker
12:59
Speaker 1: out and brings him back in. Pop pass. Wayshawn Parker
13:02
Speaker 1: going to try and get that edge. Cut it back
13:04
Speaker 1: inside and get back to the line of scrimmage. And
13:06
Speaker 1: that's about it. Pretty good pursuit that time by the
13:08
Speaker 1: BYU defense. Tackle on the play by former Ute Keanu Tanabasa.
13:11
Speaker 1: Second down and 10. Coming up.
13:13
Speaker 2: I like it, but that was just a lot, right?
13:16
Speaker 2: That was just a lot. It's something that the team
13:20
Speaker 2: down south, they've been accustomed to with their type of offense.
13:24
Speaker 4: It was just a lot.
13:24
Speaker 2: I'm glad we didn't take a loss on that play,
13:27
Speaker 2: but we've got to be more north than south.
13:29
Speaker 1: Empty backfield on second down and about ten and a half.
13:32
Speaker 1: Bird Fick went to the ballgame, split out wide to
13:34
Speaker 1: the left-hand side. Devin in the shotgun, four-man down front
13:37
Speaker 1: for the BYU Cougars. Now they bring Hunter Andrews in motion.
13:40
Speaker 1: Devon's going to look to throw. He's got time. He's
13:42
Speaker 1: pumping once. Looking, looking, looking, throwing. Incomplete over the middle.
13:46
Speaker 1: Tried to squeeze that ball into Ricky Johnson. It goes incomplete.
13:49
Speaker 1: That's going to bring up third down. And we'll call
13:51
Speaker 1: it almost 10 yards. Good pocket that time for Devin.
13:53
Speaker 1: Just nobody open.
13:54
Speaker 2: Well, great pocket. And awesome by Devin staying in the
13:57
Speaker 2: pocket as well. A lot of times quarterbacks will get
13:59
Speaker 2: out of it. And then you play right into the
14:01
Speaker 2: defense's hands right there. But good job of staying in it.
14:03
Speaker 2: Nobody can come open. That was great defense by BYU.
14:05
Speaker 1: First third down today for Utah. They're 54% of the season.
14:09
Speaker 1: That's second in the Big 12. They face a third
14:11
Speaker 1: down and almost 11. Empty backfield again for Devin Dampier.
14:14
Speaker 1: BYU showing pressure here. Tight end in motion and back again.
14:19
Speaker 1: That's Noah Benny. Devon to pass. Four-man rush. Looking down
14:22
Speaker 1: the field. Caught down the field. First down down the field.
14:24
Speaker 1: Into BYU territory goes Ricky Johnson. To the BYU 46-yard line.
14:29
Speaker 1: And an Ivory Holmes first down. That's a pitch and
14:31
Speaker 1: catch of 18 yards. Well, I love it.
14:33
Speaker 2: He had some mustard on that. There was coverage there.
14:36
Speaker 2: But Devon put enough on it to.
14:37
Speaker 4: Get the first down.
14:38
Speaker 1: Utah going with tempo now. Did they sub? Now the
14:42
Speaker 1: referee runs back. First and 10 for the 46 of BYU.
14:46
Speaker 1: Hand off.
14:47
Speaker 2: Nope.
14:47
Speaker 1: Devin's going to throw. He's got a man wide open. 25, 20, 15, 10, 5. Touchdown. Touchdown.
14:54
Speaker 8: Braith Pagan, 46 yards on a strike from Devin Dampier.
15:09
Speaker 4: Goodness gracious.
15:11
Speaker 1: The offense has erupted here early at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
15:17
Speaker 4: Apply pressure.
15:19
Speaker 2: That is guys going for it. That's going out there
15:21
Speaker 2: and taking it. Those type of plays right there is
15:24
Speaker 2: saying that.
15:25
Speaker 1: I want it.
15:25
Speaker 2: Great decision making by Devin Dampier.
15:30
Speaker 1: PAT coming up for Dylan Curtis. Good snap, good hold.
15:33
Speaker 1: Kick up and through. That Pepsi touchdown of 46 yards
15:39
Speaker 1: to Brayden Pagan. His seventh touchdown of the year. We've
15:43
Speaker 1: got a timeout on the field. We're only four and
15:46
Speaker 1: a half minutes into this ball game, folks, and it's
15:50
Speaker 1: 14-0 Utah. Time out on the field. Back to Rice-Eccles
15:53
Speaker 1: Stadium after this. It's Utah football from ESPN 700 and
15:56
Speaker 1: the Ute Sports Radio Network.
16:00
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah football, brought to you by Smiths
16:03
Speaker 7: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
16:07
Speaker 1: That scoring drive for Utah took a minute 19, four plays,
16:10
Speaker 1: 63 yards, 46 yards to Brayden Pegg and Got our
16:14
Speaker 1: first bat stat of the day for you here, Sly.
16:16
Speaker 1: Today marks the 17th straight game that Devin Dampier has
16:20
Speaker 1: played in that he has a rushing and a passing touchdown.
16:24
Speaker 1: He's off to a 4 of 5 start for 110 yards,
16:26
Speaker 1: a passing touchdown, and one rush for 22 yards. I'd
16:30
Speaker 1: say Devin came to play.
16:31
Speaker 2: Heisman finalist. Can anybody say that? This performance is awesome.
16:35
Speaker 4: I love it.
16:36
Speaker 2: I love the aggressive play calling. The play calling is me.
16:40
Speaker 2: I'm going after. That is what this play calling has been.
16:43
Speaker 2: Absolutely love it. Exactly what you got to have. And today,
16:47
Speaker 2: of all days, you want to make a splash, put
16:49
Speaker 2: your foot on their neck right now and choke them
16:51
Speaker 2: out in this game.
16:52
Speaker 1: Canada Breeze back deep, four yards deep in the north
16:54
Speaker 1: end zone. Dylan Curtis has it teed up and ready
16:57
Speaker 1: to go. 10-31 to play still here in the first quarter,
17:00
Speaker 1: 14-0 Utah.
17:02
Speaker 2: I love it. As I said, we took the ball first.
17:04
Speaker 2: We're able to establish the narrative. Now the guys down
17:07
Speaker 2: south are playing from behind, right? So the defense has
17:10
Speaker 2: to step up right now. The team down south is
17:13
Speaker 2: going to play with a little bit of desperation here.
17:15
Speaker 2: Got to take advantage of when opportunities present itself.
17:18
Speaker 1: Curtis has it teed up, ready to go. DeVries three
17:20
Speaker 1: yards deep in his end zone. Kick is high, it's
17:23
Speaker 1: end over end, and this is going to be a touchback. There,
17:26
Speaker 1: Bachmeier will come out for a second time and have
17:28
Speaker 1: it first and ten at his own 25-yard line. They
17:31
Speaker 1: went three and out with a penalty on the first drive.
17:33
Speaker 1: We'll see what BYU does right here. I know they'd
17:36
Speaker 1: love to get the running game going, Sly, but they
17:38
Speaker 1: may not be able to if they get much further
17:40
Speaker 1: in the hole here.
17:40
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you've seen what they did right there.
17:42
Speaker 2: They had L.J. Martin in the game. They ran to
17:45
Speaker 2: him once or tried to. They got a procedure penalty.
17:48
Speaker 2: Then they subbed him out. So he's not completely healthy.
17:50
Speaker 2: He's not going to be a focal point here. So
17:52
Speaker 2: it might just be all smoke and mirrors with L.J.
17:55
Speaker 1: Martin today. He's not in the game right now. Sione
17:56
Speaker 1: Moa is. Pistol formation. Three receivers for Bear Bachmeier. First
18:00
Speaker 1: and ten at his own 25. It's loud here at Rice-Eccles.
18:03
Speaker 1: It's really loud. Bachmeier trying to change the play. Two seconds.
18:08
Speaker 1: One second. Gets it off. Hands it to Moa. Moa bounces.
18:11
Speaker 1: Moves forward and picks up about six to the 31-yard line.
18:16
Speaker 1: That'll quiet the crowd for just a minute. Rabbit Evans
18:19
Speaker 1: with the tackle for Utah.
18:21
Speaker 2: That's a good job by the guys down south at
18:24
Speaker 2: moving the guys. Good patience by Sione Moa and taking
18:26
Speaker 2: what the defense gave him right there.
18:28
Speaker 4: Being patient right here.
18:29
Speaker 2: Being able to cut right off the tight end allowed
18:31
Speaker 2: that play.
18:33
Speaker 1: Two receivers left, one to the right. Two backs in
18:35
Speaker 1: the backfield this time. Ledging Glasker and Sione Moa. They
18:38
Speaker 1: hand that ball to Glasker. He tries the edge. He's
18:41
Speaker 1: not going to get there. Jackson Benny was there to
18:43
Speaker 1: stop him. after about a one-yard gain to the 32-yard line.
18:47
Speaker 1: They're going to try to get the ball in Glasker's
18:49
Speaker 1: hands as much as they can. He's their best big
18:51
Speaker 1: play guy.
18:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is. And you see handing the ball off.
18:54
Speaker 2: He had a reverse on that first drive. They're handing
18:56
Speaker 2: the ball off to him here. He's going to be
18:58
Speaker 2: in a lot of imposter sets, which means the receiver
19:00
Speaker 2: lined up in the backfield. He's going to be all
19:02
Speaker 2: over the place. Utah has to handle it. Stay disciplined
19:05
Speaker 2: and on your keys. Watch for a QB run game
19:07
Speaker 2: here on third down and less than five.
19:08
Speaker 1: Here we go. Third down and about two. They're 0
19:11
Speaker 1: for 1 on third down. Bear Bachmeier very good in
19:14
Speaker 1: these scenarios. Mola in the backfield. Three wides and a
19:17
Speaker 1: tight for BYU. Bachmeier fires to the outside.
19:20
Speaker 2: Complete.
19:21
Speaker 1: Walker Lyons beyond the 40 to about the 46-yard line. Boy,
19:25
Speaker 1: he stepped out of a tackle. Look at him, the 47,
19:27
Speaker 1: 48-yard line. That was a gain of 16 yards.
19:30
Speaker 4: That's all Utah right there.
19:32
Speaker 2: And this is the problem, is you've got to have
19:35
Speaker 2: some guys that are watching the sideline for the play,
19:38
Speaker 2: and then you have to relay the play over, and
19:39
Speaker 2: some guys watching the huddle. Where are guys breaking out
19:42
Speaker 2: and lining up? The tight end was on the far side,
19:44
Speaker 2: and so there was just confusion at where people is.
19:46
Speaker 2: They got to have that cleaned up.
19:47
Speaker 1: Cougars with their first tight end of the day, or
19:50
Speaker 1: first down of the day to the tight end. Bachmeier
19:53
Speaker 1: goes under center this time. Bear brings legend in motion.
19:57
Speaker 1: Going to run the double reverse and a pass now.
19:59
Speaker 1: They're looking down the field. They've got a man wide
20:01
Speaker 1: open down the field. Walker Lyons catches inside the 20
20:04
Speaker 1: and down to the Utah 17-yard line. A long developing play.
20:08
Speaker 1: Utah wasn't ready for it. And the trick play of
20:11
Speaker 1: Aaron Roderick sets him up first down at 10 at
20:14
Speaker 1: the 17.
20:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's all about staying on your keys. That's
20:17
Speaker 2: a double reverse pass. Bear Mockmeyer gets the pass right there.
20:20
Speaker 2: Throws to, he had one guy that he was looking
20:22
Speaker 2: for right there. That's all Utah staying on their keys.
20:26
Speaker 2: That post safety has to be able to see that
20:28
Speaker 2: because all the smoke and mirrors up front, the front
20:30
Speaker 2: seven guys got to handle that.
20:31
Speaker 4: Free safety's got to take that away.
20:33
Speaker 1: Walker Lyons with a big game so far. A couple
20:35
Speaker 1: of big receptions. First and 10 for the Utah 17
20:37
Speaker 1: for Mockmeyer. Out of the shotgun. Play action. Look for
20:41
Speaker 1: Bear Bachmeier. Throws to the outside.
20:43
Speaker 2: Intercepted!
20:44
Speaker 1: And knocked down. Incomplete. Oh, Johnny Hall almost had it.
20:48
Speaker 1: Tried to force that ball to Glasker. And Johnny almost
20:51
Speaker 1: had the pick. Never saw the linebacker on that play.
20:55
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't get it, Bobo Chenault might have.
20:57
Speaker 2: There was two guys there ready. Bobo was right there
20:59
Speaker 2: for it. But those were the opportunities we were talking about.
21:03
Speaker 2: He's going to throw it to you. He's going to
21:04
Speaker 2: give you the opportunity. You have to come away with
21:06
Speaker 2: a play like that.
21:08
Speaker 1: Second down and 10 for the Utah. 17 for Bachmeier
21:11
Speaker 1: out of the shotgun. Two tights and two wides. Bear's
21:14
Speaker 1: going to keep it himself. Quarterback keeper off that right side.
21:17
Speaker 1: He's inside the 10 and upended at about the nine
21:20
Speaker 1: yard line.
21:23
Speaker 2: Great open field tackle right there by Rabbit Evans. It's
21:25
Speaker 2: got to come down just a little bit quicker. They
21:28
Speaker 2: got to see that the offense has numbers right there.
21:31
Speaker 2: They got to send it all the way back to
21:32
Speaker 2: the inside.
21:33
Speaker 1: Third down at about two and a half here for BYU.
21:35
Speaker 1: They're one for two on third down. Might be four
21:39
Speaker 1: down territory. We'll see. See what they pick up here
21:42
Speaker 1: on third down as it gets loud in the south
21:44
Speaker 1: end zone now. The bus on its feet. Three receivers
21:47
Speaker 1: split wide to the left. Don't be surprised if Bachmeier
21:49
Speaker 1: doesn't keep it again here. He's got Moe in the
21:52
Speaker 1: backfield with him. Play clock down to five. Changing the play.
21:55
Speaker 1: Got to watch who's ineligible. Who's the ineligible man on
21:58
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage? Bachmeier is going to keep it himself,
22:00
Speaker 1: and he'll get very close to first down yardage. I
22:03
Speaker 1: think he's going to be about a half yard shy.
22:05
Speaker 1: He needed the seven. He got about the seven and
22:07
Speaker 1: a half yard line. I think it's going to be
22:09
Speaker 1: about fourth and about a yard. They're going to mark
22:13
Speaker 1: him almost a full yard shot.
22:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, because his knees came down. Watch where his knees
22:17
Speaker 2: come down. His knees came down first before he was
22:20
Speaker 2: able to fall forward for those extra yards.
22:22
Speaker 1: First really big play of the ball game here. BYU
22:24
Speaker 1: is going to keep the offense on the field. They
22:27
Speaker 1: bring another tight end in. The tackle, Yamuchi. Fourth down
22:30
Speaker 1: and a yard from the Utah eight yard line. Is
22:35
Speaker 1: this Bob Meyer territory? It might be. He's going to
22:37
Speaker 1: go under center. Watch the keeper. Two tights, two wides. Moa,
22:42
Speaker 1: the tailback. Fourth down and one. Bob Meyer keeps it himself.
22:48
Speaker 1: He got the first down to the sixth. He had
22:49
Speaker 1: plenty of room in that gap off the left side
22:52
Speaker 1: and read it and made a good play. First and goal, BYU.
22:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's hard to stop because it's not exactly on
22:56
Speaker 2: the goal line. Delay of game.
22:58
Speaker 1: Offense. I didn't see the flag. It was dropped in
23:05
Speaker 1: the end zone. That's going to change the map here.
23:07
Speaker 2: You have to kick the field goal now, right? Yeah,
23:11
Speaker 2: they're kicking the field goal now. I wasn't paying attention
23:14
Speaker 2: to the play clock. That's how exciting it is. I'm
23:17
Speaker 2: not even paying attention to the play clock.
23:18
Speaker 1: Dunn, the place kicker, will come on here to try
23:20
Speaker 1: to get BYU on the board. That's a huge penalty.
23:22
Speaker 2: For the Cougars. But a great red zone stop again
23:25
Speaker 2: by the Utah defense.
23:26
Speaker 1: 31-yard attempt just inside the right hash here for Matthias Dunn.
23:36
Speaker 1: Snap is low, the kick is up, and it is good.
23:39
Speaker 1: Snuck it just inside that left upright, and the BYU
23:42
Speaker 1: Cougars are on the board with 6.04 to play. The
23:45
Speaker 1: big play, the double pass, double reverse pass to Walker Lions.
23:50
Speaker 1: 14-3 our score here at Rice-Eccles Stadium, and our first
23:52
Speaker 1: half brought to you by our friends at Bud Light.
23:55
Speaker 1: Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. For the Big
23:59
Speaker 1: O' Tires broadcast booth, it's Utah 14 and BYU 3.
24:02
Speaker 1: This is Utah football from ESPN 700, the Ute Sports
24:05
Speaker 1: Radio Network.
24:07
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
24:11
Speaker 7: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
24:15
Speaker 1: 6.04 to play here in the first quarter. Utah 14,
24:18
Speaker 1: BYU 3. Bear Bachmeier answers with an 8-play 66-yard drive.
24:23
Speaker 1: It wasn't the finish BYU wanted. They thought they had
24:25
Speaker 1: first to goal penalty. Stopped that. But they do get
24:28
Speaker 1: on the board. Bachmeier, three of four, 51 yards, two rushes,
24:31
Speaker 1: nine yards on that drive. And now we'll see the
24:33
Speaker 1: Utah offense again. That's been really good so far today,
24:37
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns on the first two drives. Our first half
24:41
Speaker 1: today being brought to you by Pepsi and your local Smith's.
24:43
Speaker 1: Get all your great Pepsi products all year long at
24:45
Speaker 1: your local neighborhood Smith's. I'm Bill Riley. That's Stevenson Sylvester.
24:51
Speaker 1: Zach Boss down on the field. Standing room only today
24:55
Speaker 1: for the 104th rivalry game between Utah and BYU. They
24:59
Speaker 1: are standing all over Rice-Eccles Stadium right now. Carvalho will
25:08
Speaker 1: go back deep to return this kick for Utah. He'll
25:10
Speaker 1: be back there with Kyrie Schultz. Going to be a
25:17
Speaker 1: big drive coming up for this BYU defense. Utah has
25:20
Speaker 1: shredded them on their first two drives.
25:23
Speaker 2: Keep the pressure on. Keep the attack mode on. I
25:26
Speaker 2: love what's going on. If Devin's going to be your
25:28
Speaker 2: guy today, make Devin your guy today. I know you've
25:31
Speaker 2: got to get Wayshon Parker established soon, but Devin's been
25:34
Speaker 2: cooking with gas.
25:36
Speaker 1: Kick is high, and it will be a touchback, and
25:39
Speaker 1: Utah will begin first and ten at their own 25-yard line.
25:43
Speaker 1: Devin Dampier so far today has been terrific, 110 yards passing,
25:46
Speaker 1: four of five, a touchdown. He's also run one in
25:49
Speaker 1: from 22 yards out. We'll see what Kevin McGivins got
25:52
Speaker 1: dialed up offensively on this drive.
25:55
Speaker 2: I like it. You know, it made the blue guys
25:58
Speaker 2: use that double reverse pass. I'm pretty sure Coach Roderick
26:00
Speaker 2: wanted to wait till later on in the game to
26:02
Speaker 2: use that. But in order to stop the bleeding, they
26:04
Speaker 2: had to pull out all the stops.
26:06
Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker, your tailback. Utah has two sets of twins
26:10
Speaker 1: on the left-hand side. We'll see if they motion somebody
26:12
Speaker 1: back in here on first and 10. Now they're going
26:15
Speaker 1: to motion both Andrews and Benny back in on the
26:18
Speaker 1: left-hand side. BYU crowds the line right now on first
26:21
Speaker 1: down and 10. They hand that ball away. Sean Parker
26:23
Speaker 1: gets a yard to the 26 yard line. That's about it.
26:27
Speaker 1: And EC Purcell made the tackle for BYU. Cougars had
26:30
Speaker 1: a lot at the line of scrimmage that time.
26:32
Speaker 2: You got to do it, though. You have to run
26:33
Speaker 2: this play. Even if it's not a high percentage, you're
26:36
Speaker 2: going to get a lot of yards played because of
26:37
Speaker 2: how they're stocking the box. You have to keep them
26:39
Speaker 2: honest with defending the inside run game.
26:42
Speaker 1: Second down and nine. Clock running 540 to play here
26:45
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. 14-3 Utah. Creed Whittemore in the
26:49
Speaker 1: backfield right now. He's going to motion out. Three wide
26:53
Speaker 1: receivers to the pattern this time for Devin Dampier. Play
26:56
Speaker 1: clock at 10. BYU with six, now seven in the box. Devin,
27:00
Speaker 1: play action. Going to look and roll and throw. Wide open.
27:03
Speaker 1: It dropped. Oh, Braden Pagan was wide open. Ball was
27:06
Speaker 1: a little behind him at the 40-yard line, but he
27:08
Speaker 1: was so wide open. That's going to bring up third
27:10
Speaker 1: down and nine.
27:13
Speaker 2: That's all on Braden Pagan. But we talked about this
27:16
Speaker 2: in the pregame of big-time players making those plays. That
27:20
Speaker 2: just can't happen. We had an interception that we possibly
27:22
Speaker 2: had by Jonah Hall on this side. Big-time player on
27:24
Speaker 2: this team. Braden Pagan, big-time player with a clear job
27:27
Speaker 2: for a big game right there.
27:29
Speaker 1: Utah, one for one on third down. They face a
27:32
Speaker 1: third down and nine. BYU showing pressure here on third down.
27:36
Speaker 1: Here they come. Devin to pass. Looking, scrambling. He's going
27:39
Speaker 1: to be sacked back in the 15-yard line. Cade Uluave,
27:44
Speaker 1: the middle linebacker, got him. Devin saw it, but didn't
27:47
Speaker 1: get rid of the football in time. The BYU defense
27:49
Speaker 1: forced a three and out.
27:50
Speaker 2: Great strong side pressure right there. I think the pressure
27:52
Speaker 2: was dictated on coming on where the passing strength.
27:55
Speaker 4: Was right there.
27:57
Speaker 2: Cade Uluave is one of the best blitzers in the
27:59
Speaker 2: entire conference.
28:00
Speaker 4: Utah has elected to use the jersey change for this
28:02
Speaker 4: scrimmage kick.
28:04
Speaker 2: One of the best blitzers in this conference right here.
28:06
Speaker 2: Gets to Devin Dampier before he's able to find somebody.
28:08
Speaker 1: Fourth down and 17. Ryan Phillips on the punt. The
28:10
Speaker 1: dangerous Cannon DeVries stands at his own 38-yard line. Pressure. Kick.
28:16
Speaker 1: It's a wobbler and a little short. DeVries is going
28:18
Speaker 1: to let that ball hit. And it checks up. BYU
28:20
Speaker 1: is going to have great starting field position as that
28:23
Speaker 1: ball goes out of bounds at about the 43-yard line.
28:27
Speaker 1: So best starting field position to the day for the
28:29
Speaker 1: Cougars with 436 to play here and they got a
28:32
Speaker 1: little momentum on their last drive. We'll see if the
28:33
Speaker 1: Utah defense can come up with a stop right here.
28:35
Speaker 2: I really hate that because. that Pagan drop is bigger
28:39
Speaker 2: than just the drop, right? As far as applying pressure,
28:43
Speaker 2: you're able to get a stop on third down, which
28:46
Speaker 2: fuels the defense. Every time the defense gets a team
28:48
Speaker 2: to get out on three and out right there, that's
28:50
Speaker 2: huge and gets the other team going. That was a
28:53
Speaker 2: big drop by Brady Pagan for the narrative of this game.
28:55
Speaker 1: First and ten for Bachmeier of the Cougars at their
28:57
Speaker 1: own 43. Three wide receiver set this time. Let's see
29:00
Speaker 1: if they take a shot to Glasker down the field.
29:03
Speaker 1: They bring legend Glasker in motion. Bachmeier, low snap, ball's
29:07
Speaker 1: on the turf. He scoops it up. He looks down
29:09
Speaker 1: the field. He's got a man open, and it's caught.
29:13
Speaker 1: There's a flag on the far sideline. This one may
29:16
Speaker 1: be on BYU for turning up field too quickly, and
29:19
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be everybody's walking back down
29:21
Speaker 1: the other way.
29:24
Speaker 4: Illegal formation. More than four players lined up in the backfield.
29:29
Speaker 2: Offense.
29:29
Speaker 4: Five-yard penalty.
29:30
Speaker 1: Still first down. Caught a break right there. That would
29:32
Speaker 1: have been a big play. Heads up play by Bachmeier
29:34
Speaker 1: to pick that ball off the turf.
29:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like Legend is, I don't know if
29:42
Speaker 2: they must have installed a lot of plays, but he
29:44
Speaker 2: doesn't seem secure in his lineup. A lot of the
29:46
Speaker 2: guys are helping him out where he's supposed to be
29:48
Speaker 2: lined up today, which is good. We want that type
29:51
Speaker 2: of confusion.
29:51
Speaker 1: First down and 15. Back of their own 38 for BYU. L.J.
29:55
Speaker 1: Martin back at the ballgame. Crowd gets loud. Four-man down
30:01
Speaker 1: look here for the Utes. Bachmeier to pass. Looking to
30:06
Speaker 1: the outside. Pumps once. Nothing there. Scrambling. Throws it into
30:09
Speaker 1: the flat. He's got a man out of bounds after
30:11
Speaker 1: a short game. But there's a flag down. We may
30:14
Speaker 1: have a hold here on BYU, and I think we will.
30:17
Speaker 1: This one's going to come back after a six-yard game.
30:23
Speaker 6: Holden, number 51, offense, 10-yard penalty, still first down.
30:28
Speaker 1: Sonny Macassini, transfer from Stanford, called for that hold. So
30:32
Speaker 1: after beginning at their own 43, BYU's now back all
30:36
Speaker 1: the way at their own 28-yard line, first down and 25.
30:38
Speaker 1: Sione Moa, the tailback, here on first and 25. 3.58,
30:43
Speaker 1: the clock running the play here in the first quarter.
30:45
Speaker 2: The penalties are great. We've got to make sure that
30:47
Speaker 2: they don't come out of this. Don't give up chunk
30:50
Speaker 2: plays here.
30:51
Speaker 1: Tripp said here to the near side. Now they bring
30:53
Speaker 1: legend Glasker in motion again on first and 25. Bachmeier
30:57
Speaker 1: throws the flanker screen to Glasker. He's got running room.
31:00
Speaker 1: Glasker out above the 35 to about the 37-yard line
31:03
Speaker 1: where he picks up nine yards. They're going to get
31:06
Speaker 1: that ball to him in every way, shape, and form
31:08
Speaker 1: they can today. He's a big playmaker.
31:10
Speaker 4: Well, that's it.
31:11
Speaker 2: Utah's a great man-to-man coverage team, so what do you
31:13
Speaker 2: got to do? You got to get the ball out
31:14
Speaker 2: quick and short quick passes right there to your athletes
31:18
Speaker 2: and let them get what he can get after. That's
31:19
Speaker 2: actually a good get if they weren't first and 25.
31:23
Speaker 1: Second down and 16 BYU. 315 to play first quarter.
31:27
Speaker 1: 14-3 Utes. Four wide receivers set this time for the
31:31
Speaker 1: Cougars and Sione Moa the tailback. Utah shifting their defense
31:36
Speaker 1: into secondary right now. Bachmeier surveys the defense. Play action pass.
31:44
Speaker 1: Bear Bachmeier. Lots of time down the field. Caught in
31:47
Speaker 1: Utah territory to the Utah 45-yard line. I believe that's
31:51
Speaker 1: Walker Lyons who came down with that catch again. Actually,
31:54
Speaker 1: it's legend Glasker, number one. Told you they're going to
31:57
Speaker 1: get him the ball. 18 yards. They needed 17. They
32:00
Speaker 1: picked up 18. Utah let him out of jail.
32:02
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Bear shouldn't have thrown that ball. Look how
32:03
Speaker 2: many people are in that area. Rabbit Evans got it.
32:07
Speaker 2: Go get it. Dislodge this ball right here. Punch it out.
32:09
Speaker 2: Peanut punch this out right here. Whatever you got to do,
32:12
Speaker 2: you got to get that ball out right there. That's
32:14
Speaker 2: Bear Bachmeier taking risks.
32:16
Speaker 1: First and 10 at the Utah 45 for the Cougars.
32:20
Speaker 1: Bachmeier in the shotgun again. Play action pass again. Lots
32:24
Speaker 1: of time. Pressure in his face. Bachmeier throws it. Caught.
32:28
Speaker 1: Moa catches out of the backfield. He'll get down to
32:30
Speaker 1: the 41-yard line. That's going to be a gain of four.
32:32
Speaker 1: That's a heck of a play by Bachmeier with a
32:34
Speaker 1: defender right in his face.
32:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the thing. We're getting the pressure, right?
32:37
Speaker 2: We talk about sacks, this and that, but you've got
32:40
Speaker 2: to cover guys on here. I don't know who's got
32:42
Speaker 2: that guy in coverage right there, but that's out of
32:44
Speaker 2: the backfield right there. You can't let an outlet like
32:47
Speaker 2: that happen. You've got to keep the pressure on Bear Bachmeier.
32:49
Speaker 1: Second down and six now for the Utah 41. Minute
32:53
Speaker 1: 45 to play here in the first quarter, 14-3 Utah. L.J.
32:56
Speaker 1: Martin back in the ballgame, pistol formation. Man coverage to
33:02
Speaker 1: the outside, Kyle Kasper. Let's see if Bachmeier goes that way.
33:07
Speaker 1: Hand off Martin. He's got a little bit of running room.
33:09
Speaker 1: He'll get to about the 38-yard line. Gain of about
33:13
Speaker 1: three on the play. It'll be a third down and
33:16
Speaker 1: three here for the Cougars.
33:19
Speaker 2: You got to live with plays like that from L.J.
33:21
Speaker 4: Martin, right?
33:22
Speaker 2: Don't get him on the edge. Don't get him up.
33:24
Speaker 2: He doesn't have that confidence right now. He's been out
33:26
Speaker 2: for the last four weeks. So don't let him get
33:29
Speaker 2: going and get confidence.
33:30
Speaker 4: That's where he starts to roll.
33:32
Speaker 1: Cougars are one for three here in the first quarter.
33:35
Speaker 1: On third down, Martin stays in the ballgame. Four receivers
33:37
Speaker 1: set for Bachmeier. This is where Bachmeier loves to call
33:41
Speaker 1: his own number. Backs up into the shotgun. Bear looks
33:46
Speaker 1: to pass. Lots of time. Surveys the field. Now he's
33:49
Speaker 1: going to run with it. Bachmeier 35, Bachmeier 30, and
33:53
Speaker 1: Bachmeier down to the Utah 26-yard line. Picked up 15.
33:57
Speaker 1: John O'Hall made the tackle. You've got to account for
34:00
Speaker 1: Bear Bachmeier.
34:01
Speaker 2: I hate it, but that's the rush lanes right there.
34:03
Speaker 2: We get out of our rush lanes right there. Lucas
34:05
Speaker 2: Samsula right there gets out and goes inside right there.
34:08
Speaker 2: He's got to stay square. They didn't have a game on,
34:11
Speaker 2: which means you've got to two-gap that guard right there.
34:13
Speaker 2: Go straight at him so Bear Bachmeier doesn't have those lanes.
34:16
Speaker 2: And he gets out of the pocket for a first down.
34:19
Speaker 1: First and 10. Might be the final play of the
34:21
Speaker 1: first quarter here. Martin stays in the ball game for
34:23
Speaker 1: the BYU Cougars. Quick snap, Bachmeier rolls to his right,
34:26
Speaker 1: looking down the field to throw. He's got a man
34:28
Speaker 1: open behind Walker Lyons, incomplete. Rabbit Evans had the coverage
34:32
Speaker 1: of the BYU tight end. Clock stopped with 11 seconds
34:34
Speaker 1: to play here in the first quarter.
34:36
Speaker 2: Great job on defense right there, getting all the keys.
34:38
Speaker 2: Legend coming across in motion. That's normally the first outlet
34:42
Speaker 2: right there, but good defense on the back end right
34:44
Speaker 2: there by Rabbit Evans on Walker Lyons.
34:49
Speaker 1: Second down in 10 Cougars trailing 14 three from the
34:52
Speaker 1: Utah 26. LJ Martin still the tailback. Three receivers right?
35:01
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on the tight end. Bachmeier hands to
35:05
Speaker 1: Martin Martin picking his way forward. He's got running room
35:08
Speaker 1: down to the Utah 20. That's a gain of six
35:10
Speaker 1: yards and that will take us to the end of
35:12
Speaker 1: the first quarter here at Rice Eccles Stadium. Lucas Sam
35:15
Speaker 1: Sula made the tackle.
35:17
Speaker 4: That's the end of the first quarter. Timeout on the field.
35:21
Speaker 1: Our first quarter today brought to you by Bud Light.
35:24
Speaker 1: Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. Utah scored two
35:28
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the first two drives. BYU's found some footing
35:31
Speaker 1: here late in the first quarter as we head to
35:33
Speaker 1: the second. It's Utah 14 and BYU 3. And this
35:37
Speaker 1: is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports
35:40
Speaker 1: Radio Network.
35:41
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
35:45
Speaker 7: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
35:49
Speaker 1: As we head to the second quarter here at Rice-Eccles Stadium,
35:52
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, early November, beautiful day and a sellout for
35:55
Speaker 1: the rivalry game. It's Utah 14, BYU 3. Our second
35:59
Speaker 1: quarter being brought to you by doTERRA. First quarter numbers slide.
36:02
Speaker 1: We're almost, they were even. Utah had 131 yards. BYU
36:05
Speaker 1: had 131 yards. Utah had 110 through the air. BYU
36:09
Speaker 1: had 90 through the air. BYU had 41 on the ground.
36:11
Speaker 1: Utah had 21 on the ground. Cougars actually ran seven
36:15
Speaker 1: more plays in that first quarter. But Utah had the
36:18
Speaker 1: bigger chunk plays in that first quarter, but we're on
36:21
Speaker 1: the stat sheet dead even. Scoreboard, though, favors Utah right now,
36:24
Speaker 1: but BYU in position on the edge of the red zone.
36:27
Speaker 2: Are they not the similar teams? Even on the punts,
36:31
Speaker 2: one was 36 yards, one was 39 yards, right? These
36:33
Speaker 2: guys are so even, you're going to see it. I
36:35
Speaker 2: know Utah jumps out to a 14-0 lead, but that's
36:40
Speaker 2: not going to be the end of the game. You've
36:42
Speaker 2: got to continue to apply pressure. Game is not over
36:45
Speaker 2: right now. You've got to stay focused. drops on third down,
36:48
Speaker 2: dropped interceptions. Those things are going to come into play
36:51
Speaker 2: late in the game. You don't want to give the
36:53
Speaker 2: blue guys any type of energy. You want to kill
36:56
Speaker 2: their motivation. You don't want to think that they have
36:58
Speaker 2: a chance in this game. Doing plays like that gives them,
37:00
Speaker 2: when they're converting on third downs, getting chunk plays, that's
37:03
Speaker 2: giving them motivation. They can get things done.
37:06
Speaker 1: BYU's two out of four on third down today. They're
37:08
Speaker 1: a third and four right now for the Utah 20.
37:13
Speaker 1: If they pick up two or three yards, probably four
37:15
Speaker 1: down territory here for Kalani Satake. He loves to go
37:18
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down. Bear Bachmeier's found his rhythm
37:22
Speaker 1: here too late in the first quarter as we head
37:24
Speaker 1: to the second. BYU heading toward that north end zone
37:27
Speaker 1: where it gets loud. Boa the tailback. Two receivers right
37:30
Speaker 1: and one to the left-hand side here on third down
37:32
Speaker 1: at four. Bear takes the snap, rolls to his right,
37:38
Speaker 1: looking down the field, throwing, and almost intercepted. It was
37:43
Speaker 1: tipped and in and out of the hands of Scooby Davis. Oh, goodness.
37:49
Speaker 1: Almost picked off by Utah. That would have been big.
37:52
Speaker 1: It'll bring up fourth down in the field. Goal team
37:54
Speaker 1: comes out. It was, is that Lance Holtzclaw? No, Cyrus
37:57
Speaker 1: Polu that got his hands on it.
37:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rabbit Evans almost comes away with this pick right here. Oh!
38:03
Speaker 2: That's a missed opportunity, just like Jonah Hall on that
38:05
Speaker 2: other position down in the red zone. These turnovers are
38:08
Speaker 2: going to be huge.
38:09
Speaker 1: 38-yard field goal right down Broadway here for Dunn. He's
38:12
Speaker 1: one for one today. He's eight for nine on the season.
38:18
Speaker 1: Low snap. The kick is away. It's high. It's end
38:21
Speaker 1: over end, and it is good. Nine seconds in to
38:24
Speaker 1: the second quarter. BYU strikes for a second time, but
38:27
Speaker 1: for a second time, just a field goal. And that's
38:30
Speaker 1: a win for the Utah defense, 14-6.
38:32
Speaker 2: It is.
38:33
Speaker 3: It is.
38:33
Speaker 2: You don't want them to drive down the field. Unfortunately,
38:35
Speaker 2: on that drive, they started first and 25. They get
38:37
Speaker 2: a nine-yard smoke screen to Legend Glasker. And then another
38:40
Speaker 2: big play to Legend Glasker. Again, they got to knock
38:42
Speaker 2: out those chunk plays. Get lined up. One guy has
38:45
Speaker 2: to look for the play call. The other has to
38:46
Speaker 2: look for the personnel. If you don't know the play,
38:49
Speaker 2: it's man coverage. That is what it is. You can
38:51
Speaker 2: never go wrong with lining up and man coverage right there.
38:54
Speaker 2: But the defense did a good job, again, of standing
38:56
Speaker 2: up in the red zone. That's one of our great things,
38:59
Speaker 2: one of the great statistics that we've seen this season
39:02
Speaker 2: is Utah's defense in the red zone.
39:03
Speaker 1: That's two interceptions, though, in the red zone Utah's not
39:06
Speaker 1: come away with. Love to see him grab one of those.
39:08
Speaker 1: That scoring drive, nine plays, 37 yards. 445 off the
39:12
Speaker 1: game clock and a 38-yard field goal, second of the
39:14
Speaker 1: day for Dunn. And it's 14-6 with 14-51 to play
39:19
Speaker 1: here in the first half. A beautiful day. I know
39:22
Speaker 1: there was a lot of angst about playing this game
39:24
Speaker 1: at 10 a.m. I'm just telling you, this setting is
39:27
Speaker 1: spectacular today. 101st consecutive sellout, too, for Utah football. Kick
39:34
Speaker 1: is away. It's a line drive kick. That one's going
39:36
Speaker 1: to go through the end zone for a touchback, and
39:39
Speaker 1: Devin Dampier and the offense, who were stopped three and out.
39:43
Speaker 1: Much of that due to a big drop by Brayden
39:45
Speaker 1: Pagan on the last drive. We'll get it at their
39:46
Speaker 1: own 25-yard line.
39:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way these rivalry, if you understand history, all
39:51
Speaker 2: the history that we were talking about this week, this
39:52
Speaker 2: game is far, far from over. I think we've got
39:55
Speaker 2: to continue with aggression. Everybody's got a laser in focus
39:59
Speaker 2: right now. No more drop passes. We're too late in
40:01
Speaker 2: the seasons to have those wide open things. Look the
40:04
Speaker 2: ball in, get those big chunk plays and get into
40:06
Speaker 2: the end zone.
40:07
Speaker 1: First and 10, Utah, Weishan Parker, the backfield with Devin Dampier.
40:11
Speaker 1: Daniel Bray lined up at the right slot. Devin brings
40:14
Speaker 1: Daniel in motion. And now he's going to run it
40:17
Speaker 1: himself straight ahead. Devon will pick up about two yards
40:20
Speaker 1: on first down out to the 27-yard line. Braxton Lindsey,
40:23
Speaker 1: Sam Linebacker, made the tackle for BYU.
40:26
Speaker 2: It's a good job, good decision right there. Team down
40:29
Speaker 2: south had that covered extremely well. Good job on their keys,
40:33
Speaker 2: picking up a couple yards.
40:34
Speaker 1: Second down at eight. Parker stays in the ballgame here
40:38
Speaker 1: for Utah. Two receivers right, one to the left-hand side.
40:44
Speaker 1: Devin out of the shotgun with BYU shifting around up front.
40:47
Speaker 1: Pop pass, Daniel Bray. Up the field, Daniel Bray beyond
40:51
Speaker 1: the 30. Out to about the 33-yard line. That'll be
40:54
Speaker 1: a gain of, call it about six on the play.
40:57
Speaker 1: Pop pass. Keenan Pula made the tackle. That'll bring up
41:01
Speaker 1: third down and two here for Utah.
41:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it right there. Good job making it
41:06
Speaker 2: third down and short. Third down and manageable right here.
41:09
Speaker 2: Nice RPO pass. where somebody breaks off into the deep
41:12
Speaker 2: thirds and keeps the defense honest, but Devin can pick
41:15
Speaker 2: this up with his legs.
41:16
Speaker 1: Cluster of pass catchers on the left-hand side, four of them,
41:19
Speaker 1: two tights and two wides. Pagan by himself on the
41:22
Speaker 1: right on third down and two. Wayshawn Parker comes in motion.
41:25
Speaker 1: Devin's going to throw in the flat. Wayshawn is going
41:27
Speaker 1: to be stopped. Lost the football. BYU's got it. BYU's
41:31
Speaker 1: got it. No, they're going to say incomplete pass. They're
41:34
Speaker 1: going to say incomplete pass. Parker never came up with
41:37
Speaker 1: that ball.
41:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, he went really on the field. It's an incomplete pass.
41:42
Speaker 4: It'll be fourth down. In the continuing immediate action, BYU
41:47
Speaker 4: did recover the ball.
41:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did not make an athletic move. He catches
41:51
Speaker 2: it in the air as he's turning. He did not
41:53
Speaker 2: possess it long enough to put it away and consider
41:55
Speaker 2: that an athletic move. I hope Kalani challenges and wastes
41:58
Speaker 2: the time out on this.
42:00
Speaker 1: He will not. It doesn't look like. Canada breeze back
42:04
Speaker 1: that's back-to-back three and outs here for the Utah offense
42:06
Speaker 1: after looking awfully good on the first two drives Orion
42:11
Speaker 1: Phillips on his first punt wasn't much debris is very
42:14
Speaker 1: dangerous Now Kalani Satake wants to challenge this he thinks
42:19
Speaker 1: it's a bubble It's not an incomplete pass says Kalani Satake.
42:23
Speaker 1: He's taking a timeout It's the first.
42:25
Speaker 6: Half so timeouts or whatever But BYU has called a
42:29
Speaker 6: timeout to challenge the previous play.
42:32
Speaker 1: Previous play is under further review. We'll take a timeout
42:35
Speaker 1: while they challenge this ruling. 13-36 to play here in
42:39
Speaker 1: the first half. First half brought to you by Canyonview
42:41
Speaker 1: Credit Union. For the Big O' Tires broadcast booth, it's
42:44
Speaker 1: Utah 14 and BYU 6. And this is Utah football
42:47
Speaker 1: for BSPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
42:50
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Big
42:53
Speaker 7: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
42:58
Speaker 1: Back at Rice-Eccles Stadium, the call on the field was upheld.
43:01
Speaker 1: It's an incomplete pass. Wayshawn Parker didn't have it long enough,
43:04
Speaker 1: so it'll be fourth and about a yard and a half,
43:07
Speaker 1: almost two yards for Utah from their own 33-yard line.
43:11
Speaker 1: 13-36 to play here in the first half of the game.
43:13
Speaker 1: Utah looked like they were unbeatable on those first two drives,
43:16
Speaker 1: marched right down the field, but three and outs on
43:18
Speaker 1: the last two drives are going to have to punt
43:20
Speaker 1: and give the ball back to BYU, who has found
43:22
Speaker 1: their footing now sly on offense.
43:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is exactly what we have to
43:26
Speaker 2: do here. They have to forget about the last play.
43:29
Speaker 2: We talked about it in the pregame show. Whatever you did,
43:32
Speaker 2: positive or negative, you've got to move to the next play.
43:34
Speaker 1: Drop the pass.
43:35
Speaker 2: You've got to move to the next play. You didn't
43:36
Speaker 2: pick up the first down. You fumbled. You've got to
43:38
Speaker 2: move to the next play. This is very important and vital.
43:41
Speaker 2: This is all about the Utah defense here. They have
43:44
Speaker 2: to stand up. Stop the bleeding.
43:46
Speaker 4: Utah has made jersey changes for this scrimmage kick.
43:51
Speaker 1: Ryan Phillips will punt from inside of his own 20.
43:53
Speaker 1: Cannon DeVries stands at his own 22-yard line. DeVries averages
43:57
Speaker 1: about 13 yards a return. Last kick wasn't great, but
44:01
Speaker 1: he kept it away from DeVries. We'll see what he
44:03
Speaker 1: does right here. BYU looks to play this one safe.
44:08
Speaker 1: Snap back to Phillips. No pressure. The kick is a
44:11
Speaker 1: short and wobbly one. DeVries is going to come up
44:14
Speaker 1: and take it. He'll return it from about his own
44:16
Speaker 1: 25 and be smothered right there. Excellent coverage on the
44:19
Speaker 1: play by both DeVries Jackson Benny on that play and
44:22
Speaker 1: Manny Fuller the backup safety. So a short punt but
44:26
Speaker 1: no return by DeVries. BYU will take over first and
44:29
Speaker 1: 10 at their own 25 yard line.
44:31
Speaker 4: It's a high hanging kick.
44:33
Speaker 2: Not terrible.
44:34
Speaker 4: It's a 41 yard punt. but uh great coverage yeah
44:37
Speaker 4: great coverage.
44:37
Speaker 2: Right there great job so what you want to do
44:39
Speaker 2: here in the open field is cross his face to
44:41
Speaker 2: make sure he doesn't go forward and then the other
44:43
Speaker 2: guy cleans it up so great job even if you
44:45
Speaker 2: miss the tackle cross the face right there make sure
44:48
Speaker 2: there's a returner doesn't.
44:49
Speaker 1: Go big drive for the utah defense byu's marched on
44:52
Speaker 1: the last two just field goals though play action on
44:55
Speaker 1: first down for bear bachmeyer he's going to take a
44:57
Speaker 1: shot down the field he's got legend glasker out there
44:59
Speaker 1: caught and that's going to be a touchdown 75 yards
45:03
Speaker 1: from Bachmeier to Glasker. The big play, he beat Jackson Benny,
45:08
Speaker 1: and BYU is right back in the ballgame here with
45:12
Speaker 1: 13-17 to play in the first half.
45:16
Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
45:17
Speaker 1: I mean, he just ran right by him. And that
45:20
Speaker 1: was a great pass by Bachmeier.
45:24
Speaker 2: There's nothing you can say about that. That's just perfect execution.
45:26
Speaker 1: There was no pressure on Bachmeier, though. He had all
45:28
Speaker 1: day to throw.
45:29
Speaker 2: And that's a max protect, big throw right there. Excellent
45:33
Speaker 2: job by Bachmeier looking left, getting the safety to roll
45:36
Speaker 2: that way, getting the iso on the backside. That was
45:38
Speaker 2: where he was going no matter what. But that separation
45:41
Speaker 2: by Glasker, this athlete on athlete right there, and Glasker won.
45:45
Speaker 1: PAT coming up here by Dunn splits the uprights. We've
45:48
Speaker 1: got a one-point game. If you thought this game was
45:50
Speaker 1: going to be easy, Utah fans, think again. It's the
45:52
Speaker 1: rivalry game. Nothing easy about this one. 75 yards in
45:56
Speaker 1: one play. And the Cougars are right back in it.
45:59
Speaker 1: Timeout on the field with 13-17 to play here in
46:02
Speaker 1: the first half. It's Utah 14, BYU 13. And this
46:06
Speaker 1: is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports
46:09
Speaker 1: Radio Network.
46:10
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Smiths
46:14
Speaker 7: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
46:18
Speaker 1: First half today being brought to you by Bud Light.
46:20
Speaker 1: Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. 13-17 to play
46:23
Speaker 1: here in the second quarter. Utah jumped out to a
46:25
Speaker 1: 14-0 lead. BYU scored on their last three drives, two
46:29
Speaker 1: field goals in that 75-yard touchdown. They just walled it
46:32
Speaker 1: up for Bear Bachmeier, max protect. They said, our best
46:35
Speaker 1: is going to beat your best, and Glasker did.
46:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it right there. As a defender, know where
46:39
Speaker 2: your help is. If you're in the slot, you can't
46:42
Speaker 2: count on the sideline being your help. You have to
46:44
Speaker 2: use the post safety right there. But Jackson Binney allows
46:47
Speaker 2: Glasker's just fast, right? You can't hide that. That is
46:50
Speaker 2: your best. Jackson Binney does not get beat like that
46:52
Speaker 2: on the regular. I definitely understand putting him in that situation.
46:55
Speaker 2: There's nothing to contest on that. But right now, Jackson
46:58
Speaker 2: has to stay on the outside shoulder and use the
47:00
Speaker 2: post safety as the help right there. And Glasker just
47:03
Speaker 2: gets on the outside and just beats him with speed.
47:05
Speaker 1: You know what's changed the momentum of this game? The
47:07
Speaker 1: Braden Pagan drop.
47:08
Speaker 2: It's huge.
47:08
Speaker 1: It's really changed the momentum of this game. That would
47:10
Speaker 1: have been another huge chunk play instead. Utah.
47:13
Speaker 2: Keep the drive going. All of that.
47:14
Speaker 1: Ended up going three and out. Utah's got two return
47:19
Speaker 1: men deep. That's Scholes and Carvalho. Kick is high, and
47:25
Speaker 1: it's end over end. No return coming on this one either.
47:28
Speaker 1: BYU's been good in the kick game today with field
47:30
Speaker 1: goals and kickoffs, and Utah will have it first and
47:32
Speaker 1: 10 at their own 25. So Utah had back-to-back touchdown drives,
47:37
Speaker 1: and now they've had back-to-back three and outs. You've got
47:39
Speaker 1: to get something going here offensively, Sly.
47:41
Speaker 2: You do, and I'm telling you, those things happen, and
47:45
Speaker 2: they mess you up. Just like we were talking early
47:46
Speaker 2: in the season, Devin throws an interception. And then it
47:49
Speaker 2: kind of gets on him. In the last few weeks,
47:51
Speaker 2: it hasn't. And that's exactly what happens. You drop a pass.
47:53
Speaker 2: You don't pick up a first down. You got to
47:55
Speaker 2: forget about that and focus on the next play. That's
47:58
Speaker 2: what's going to get this game going.
47:59
Speaker 1: Creed Whittemore motions out of the backfield. Daniel Bray stays
48:02
Speaker 1: there with Devin Dampier on first and 10 from the
48:04
Speaker 1: Utah 25-yard line. Devin Dampier rolling to his right, looking
48:08
Speaker 1: down the field, throwing down the field. He throws it
48:10
Speaker 1: beyond Braden Pagan, who was wide open at about the
48:13
Speaker 1: 38-yard line. Just threw it wide of him that time.
48:15
Speaker 1: Second down coming up.
48:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you like to roll to your right,
48:19
Speaker 2: and normally Devin is extremely accurate when he's on the
48:22
Speaker 2: move right there. But, yeah, just outside of the outstretched
48:25
Speaker 2: hands of Braden Pagan. Braden Pagan was trying to stay
48:27
Speaker 2: a little bit inside so he could turn up after
48:29
Speaker 2: the catch right there. Devin leads him too far.
48:32
Speaker 1: Five-wide look here on second down and ten for the
48:34
Speaker 1: 25-yard line. Dan Pierce stands by himself. BYU with four
48:37
Speaker 1: down linemen. Devon's going to drop back to pass. Looking, pumping.
48:41
Speaker 1: He's going to run. He's got the 25. He's got
48:43
Speaker 1: the 30. Stays on his feet and dives to the
48:46
Speaker 1: 34-yard line for a nine-yard gain. Really the first time
48:49
Speaker 1: we've seen that today from Devon Dampier. That'll bring up
48:53
Speaker 1: third down and about a yard here for Utah.
48:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to bring the big boy package in here.
48:57
Speaker 2: I hope they go some kind of wildcat youth package
49:01
Speaker 2: on this right here. Just go straight downhill and just
49:04
Speaker 2: pick up this first down. BYU is going to definitely
49:07
Speaker 2: barrel down on This play, yeah, Wayshawn's lined up in
49:10
Speaker 2: the pistol. They're going to motion Devin out and do
49:12
Speaker 2: Wildcat right here. But you've got to keep him honest.
49:14
Speaker 2: This is going to help you later on in the game.
49:15
Speaker 1: Third down and one. Utah one for three on third down.
49:18
Speaker 1: They motion Parker out. of the backfield. Devin's following his blockers,
49:22
Speaker 1: and he's got the first down. Dives to the 36-yard line.
49:25
Speaker 1: Needed one picked up, too. That's a big first down
49:28
Speaker 1: and Ivory Holmes first down that keeps the drive alive.
49:30
Speaker 1: Cade DeLave made the tackle for BYU.
49:32
Speaker 4: So it's the exact play.
49:33
Speaker 1: He's just a different player.
49:34
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be Rayshon Parker to
49:35
Speaker 2: do it, but they allowed Devin Dampier to do it,
49:37
Speaker 2: which I like it, right? I want Devin Dampier to affect.
49:41
Speaker 4: This game with his legs.
49:42
Speaker 2: As he has the last couple weeks, his legs has
49:44
Speaker 2: been the difference. It's got to get back active in
49:46
Speaker 2: this game.
49:47
Speaker 1: 12 minutes to play. First half, 14-13 Utah. First and
49:49
Speaker 1: 10 Utes as Hunter Andrews comes in motion. From the
49:53
Speaker 1: 36-yard line, play-action pass, throw to the inside, and dropped again.
49:58
Speaker 1: That time, it's Ricky Johnson. That pass may have been
50:01
Speaker 1: deflected a little bit at the line of scrimmage, but
50:03
Speaker 1: it hit him right in the hands.
50:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, these guys are focused on the move instead of
50:06
Speaker 2: looking the ball in right there. He's trying to make
50:08
Speaker 2: the move before the ball because it hits him right
50:11
Speaker 2: in the chest, and then he's making the move first,
50:13
Speaker 2: which I understand. You catch so many balls in practice,
50:15
Speaker 2: you just think it's going to be easy, but you've
50:17
Speaker 2: got to do first things first and look that ball in.
50:19
Speaker 1: Two big drops by Utah wide receivers brings up a
50:22
Speaker 1: second down and 10. Empty backfield here as Whittemore motions out.
50:26
Speaker 1: Devin by himself, four wide receivers and a tight end.
50:30
Speaker 1: BYU showing pressure. Devon's going to throw it over the middle.
50:32
Speaker 1: This time it's caught by Braden Pagan. And he fumbles it!
50:36
Speaker 1: BYU says they've got it. There's a big dog pile
50:40
Speaker 1: at about the 50-yard line. BYU says they've got it.
50:44
Speaker 2: That's a fumble. That's a clear fumble.
50:46
Speaker 1: Let's see who fell on the football. BYU says they've
50:49
Speaker 1: got it. We're waiting for the officials to unpile things.
50:54
Speaker 1: BYU says they've got it. BYU football. Utah is now
51:04
Speaker 1: minus eight in the turnover margins in the last four games.
51:08
Speaker 1: And that's a big one at midfield. It hit Pagan
51:10
Speaker 1: in the hands. He caught it. He ran. Then he
51:12
Speaker 1: lost it.
51:12
Speaker 4: Booing on the field is a catch. Fumble recovered by BYU.
51:16
Speaker 4: First down.
51:18
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He was.
51:19
Speaker 2: He was trying to put it away. Great job by
51:22
Speaker 2: Cannon-DeVries right there at swiping at the football. I almost
51:25
Speaker 2: thought he was trying to pitch it after, but no,
51:27
Speaker 2: he's just putting it away. But Cannon-DeVries does a great
51:30
Speaker 2: job of coming on the backside and swiping at the
51:32
Speaker 2: ball side hand right there and getting that ball out.
51:35
Speaker 1: First and 10, BYU. They've scored on three straight possessions.
51:39
Speaker 1: All the momentum on the Cougars' side right now for
51:42
Speaker 1: the Utah 49-yard line. Sione Moa in the backfield. Bachmeier
51:47
Speaker 1: in the shotgun. Utah's defense has to make a play here.
51:50
Speaker 1: Bachmeier's going to change the play. Three receivers split wide
51:55
Speaker 1: left here for BYU. Hand off, Moa. He's got running room. Nope,
52:00
Speaker 1: Bachmeier keeps it himself. Good fake by Bachmeier, and he
52:04
Speaker 1: picks up seven to the Utah 42-yard line. Either one
52:08
Speaker 1: of those plays was going to be successful because Moa
52:10
Speaker 1: had running room. Jackson Benny made the slide. The Utah
52:13
Speaker 1: defense is on their heels right now. Why? Why?
52:16
Speaker 2: It's a lot going on. You got to settle down.
52:18
Speaker 2: As I said, whatever successes you had at the start
52:20
Speaker 2: of the game, the first couple of series, it means
52:22
Speaker 2: nothing right now. Handle the play right in front of you.
52:26
Speaker 1: Second down and three from the Utah 42 for Bachmeier.
52:29
Speaker 1: Changing the play again. Crowd needs to be an impactful
52:34
Speaker 1: audience here today. Walker Lyons in motion. Hand off Moa.
52:39
Speaker 1: First down yardage inside the 40 to about the Utah
52:43
Speaker 1: 37-yard line. Clock running 10.55 to play here in the
52:47
Speaker 1: first half. Carson Kifusi made the tackle for Utah. But
52:51
Speaker 1: BYU has all the momentum on their side right now.
52:54
Speaker 1: First and 10 for the Utah 37.
52:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, those dropped interceptions are huge. For one, they got
53:00
Speaker 2: two field goals off of them. But two, it takes
53:03
Speaker 2: a lot of energy out of that sideline if you're
53:05
Speaker 2: able to convert those.
53:06
Speaker 1: Three receivers split wide to the left-hand side. Bachmeier's had
53:10
Speaker 1: lots of time to throw. He's going to hand it
53:13
Speaker 1: to Moa again. Sione Moa spins off of a tackle
53:16
Speaker 1: and gets inside the 35 to about the 33-yard line
53:19
Speaker 1: for a gain of four. He'll bring up second and six.
53:22
Speaker 1: Elijah Ellis made the tackle for Utah.
53:24
Speaker 2: Right now, the blue guys have all the momentum right now.
53:27
Speaker 2: They're running the ball. Even if it's not chunk plays,
53:29
Speaker 2: they're trying to establish the running game, which opens up
53:32
Speaker 2: the playbook, the play action fake, which is huge for
53:35
Speaker 2: Bear Bachmeier. So they're in complete control, especially stealing the
53:37
Speaker 2: ball away on that cause fumble.
53:40
Speaker 1: Utah defense doesn't have a tackle for loss. No negative
53:43
Speaker 1: plays today. Second down and six. Bachmeier hands it again.
53:47
Speaker 1: This time L.J. Martin falls forward to about the 30-yard
53:50
Speaker 1: line for a gain of about two and a half,
53:53
Speaker 1: almost three yards. And a Utah player down on the play.
53:58
Speaker 1: That's Carson Kifusi. Training staff will come out to check
54:01
Speaker 1: on him with third down and three coming up. Carson's
54:05
Speaker 1: up now. And he'll walk to the sideline. This is
54:08
Speaker 1: a huge spot here for the Utah defense. BYU in
54:12
Speaker 1: field goal range right now, but a negative play might
54:14
Speaker 1: be able to take them out of field goal range.
54:16
Speaker 1: They'll be third down and three. cougars are two out
54:19
Speaker 1: of five on third down.
54:20
Speaker 2: You gotta be aware rpo right here qb run game
54:23
Speaker 2: into pass they're gonna try to run bear bachmeyer get
54:26
Speaker 2: you to come down and then they're gonna try to
54:28
Speaker 2: hit a slant or a little a rail slip uh
54:31
Speaker 2: by the tight end or inside receiver or even the
54:33
Speaker 2: backside solo receiver watch the qb runs.
54:36
Speaker 1: Game glasker and martin in the backfield on third down
54:40
Speaker 1: and three now glasker motions out Now he motions back in.
54:44
Speaker 1: Play action for Bachmeier. Lots of time over the middle. Caught.
54:47
Speaker 1: He's got a tight end inside the 20. And down
54:49
Speaker 1: to the Utah 15-yard line goes Walker Lyons. Walker Lyons
54:53
Speaker 1: is having himself a day today. That's four catches now
54:56
Speaker 1: for Lyons. And over 60 yards receiving. And it's first
55:02
Speaker 1: down inside the red zone for the Cougars. Third time
55:06
Speaker 1: today with nine minutes to play here in the first half.
55:10
Speaker 1: No pressure on Bachmeier that time. He had plenty of
55:13
Speaker 1: time to scan the field for his tight end Lions.
55:15
Speaker 2: Again, you're down here in the red zone. You gotta
55:17
Speaker 2: stand up here. Force another field goal. Gotta stand up
55:20
Speaker 2: and tighten up down here on the red zone.
55:21
Speaker 1: Bachmeier turns and hands. Nope, but he keeps it up
55:25
Speaker 1: by himself. Out on the edge. Lions again. Makes one
55:27
Speaker 1: man miss. Finally shoved out of bounds at about the
55:29
Speaker 1: Utah six yard line by Elijah Ellis. Another excellent fake
55:33
Speaker 1: by Bachmeier. And they pick up eight yards. Almost nine.
55:39
Speaker 1: Second down and two. At the Utah 7. Yeah, they
55:42
Speaker 1: got to get.
55:43
Speaker 2: The crowd back into it. A big play does that.
55:45
Speaker 2: Get the crowd back into it. This north end zone.
55:47
Speaker 2: They've done a great job of quieting the crowd right now.
55:50
Speaker 2: Taking the crowd out. This north end zone has to
55:52
Speaker 2: be effective.
55:55
Speaker 1: Martin the tailback. Bachmeier in the shotgun. From the Utah 7.
56:00
Speaker 1: Hand off L.J. Martin. He'll be inside the 5. It'll
56:04
Speaker 1: be first down yardage. First and goal BYU as we
56:07
Speaker 1: come up on 8 minutes to play here. In the
56:09
Speaker 1: first half, first and goal for the Utah 5 for
56:12
Speaker 1: the Cougars.
56:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is where they live. They scored a touchdown
56:19
Speaker 2: this past week to Walker Lions. Watch the 2x2 coverage.
56:23
Speaker 2: Walker Lions is going to push the defender and come
56:26
Speaker 2: inside on a nice, easy sail route right there. Keep
56:30
Speaker 2: your eyes up.
56:31
Speaker 1: First and goal, Bachmeier. Martin keeps it. Martin to the
56:35
Speaker 1: end zone. Martin touchdown. And BYU has now scored 19
56:40
Speaker 1: unanswered points to take the lead here at Rice-Eckel Stadium.
56:44
Speaker 1: PAT coming up. Martin with untouched. They faked the reverse.
56:49
Speaker 1: He kept it for five yards. And LJ Martin's made
56:52
Speaker 1: an impact on this game. And BYU has roared back
56:57
Speaker 1: to take the lead here midway through the first half.
57:05
Speaker 2: Gotta come in them, right? They wavered the storm. There's
57:08
Speaker 2: a real hot flash at the start of the game,
57:10
Speaker 2: but they stuck with it, quieted this crowd and ran
57:13
Speaker 2: their offense.
57:15
Speaker 1: Done on to attempt the P80. That's up and that's good.
57:18
Speaker 1: 735 to play. And it's 20 to 14 BYU 8
57:24
Speaker 1: plays 49 yards 408 off the play clock. And that's
57:29
Speaker 1: seven points off of Utah turnover. And we've got a
57:31
Speaker 1: timeout on the field. From Rice-Eckel Stadium to the Big
57:34
Speaker 1: O' Tires broadcast booth, the BYU Cougars lead it 20-14.
57:38
Speaker 1: And this is Utah football from ESPN 700 and Ute
57:41
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
57:42
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
57:46
Speaker 7: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
57:51
Speaker 1: Utah football today being brought to you by University of
57:54
Speaker 1: Utah Health. 7.35 to play here in the first half.
57:59
Speaker 1: Utah scored back-to-back touchdowns on their first two drives. They
58:02
Speaker 1: led it 14-0. Since then, BYU has scored on four
58:06
Speaker 1: consecutive drives, two touchdowns, and two field goals to lead
58:11
Speaker 1: it here 20-14. The crowd has gone silent here, and
58:17
Speaker 1: Utah's got to find a way to get things going again.
58:19
Speaker 1: Number one, Sly, hold on to the football. Drops by
58:22
Speaker 1: receivers in a fumble have not helped things here.
58:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that was almost another turnover. Wayshawn Parker, they
58:28
Speaker 2: ended up calling an incomplete pass. But again, you got
58:31
Speaker 2: to focus. Got to focus on here. It's every single play.
58:34
Speaker 2: Everybody's got to matter. Drops by the receivers have been
58:36
Speaker 2: huge because those extend the drive. Those keep the pressure
58:40
Speaker 2: on the defense. But they got to settle down right now.
58:42
Speaker 2: Forget about what happened and take advantage of the play.
58:44
Speaker 1: High and end over end kick will not be returned
58:47
Speaker 1: by Carvalho. And Utah will be in first and 10
58:49
Speaker 1: at their own 25-yard line. Devin Dampier has been good today.
58:53
Speaker 1: He's been let down a little bit by his wide receivers.
58:55
Speaker 1: He's 6 of 11 for 129 yards and a touchdown.
58:59
Speaker 1: But there have been two big drops. One by Brayden
59:02
Speaker 1: Pagan on an early drive. One by Ricky Johnson. And then,
59:05
Speaker 1: of course, the catch with the fumble on the last
59:07
Speaker 1: drive by Pagan. It looked like Utah had a little
59:09
Speaker 1: something going on that drive, too.
59:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, they were doing it. It's all about rhythm,
59:13
Speaker 2: and when you get penalties, you get dropped passes, you get,
59:16
Speaker 2: you know, turnovers, those ruin your rhythm, and then you
59:19
Speaker 2: got to go find that rhythm again. So Utah's got
59:22
Speaker 2: to find their rhythm.
59:22
Speaker 1: Four-man down front for BYU on first and ten. Hand off.
59:26
Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker. Nope, Devin Dampier's going to keep it himself.
59:29
Speaker 1: Devin gets out to about the 29-yard line. Boy, if
59:31
Speaker 1: he cut that back inside sooner, that would have been
59:35
Speaker 1: about a 7 or 8, maybe 9-yard game. A lot
59:37
Speaker 1: of extracurricular going on down there.
59:39
Speaker 2: It's getting intense, man.
59:40
Speaker 1: A little chippy.
59:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're trying to do extra stuff on Devin Dampier there.
59:43
Speaker 2: Good job by Hunter Andrews. They're protecting this quarterback right there.
59:46
Speaker 2: A little Reggie Miller flop on that play right there. Yeah,
59:50
Speaker 2: as I said, if you've got to get things going
59:52
Speaker 2: by Devin Depp here's legs, that's what we've got to
59:54
Speaker 2: do today.
59:55
Speaker 1: Second down and six at the 29-yard line. Empty backfield
59:58
Speaker 1: this time for Devin. Three receivers split wide to the
1:00:00
Speaker 1: right-hand side. Now Bird Ficklin comes in motion back across
1:00:03
Speaker 1: the formation. Bird comes in the backfield. Devin juggles the pass.
1:00:08
Speaker 1: He eludes the rush. And he is going to be
1:00:10
Speaker 1: sacked back at the 20-yard line. Poo-ha. The son of
1:00:17
Speaker 1: Sione makes the sack all the way back at the 20.
1:00:20
Speaker 1: Devin took his eye off the ball, nearly fumbled it.
1:00:22
Speaker 1: They're going to give him progress to the 21, but
1:00:24
Speaker 1: it's going to be third down and really long here.
1:00:26
Speaker 1: And the Utah offense is out of sync right now.
1:00:28
Speaker 2: Well, right there, Bird was kind of messing around right
1:00:30
Speaker 2: at the center of the snap right there, and that
1:00:32
Speaker 2: just messed up Devin's eyes receiving the snap. But Schoonover
1:00:35
Speaker 2: does a great job of grabbing a hold of Devin
1:00:36
Speaker 2: and not letting go.
1:00:37
Speaker 1: Utah 2 out of 4 on third down. They've got
1:00:39
Speaker 1: to pick up 14 right here. Empty backfield. Play clock
1:00:47
Speaker 1: at 5 for Devin as he backs up. Now 4,
1:00:49
Speaker 1: now 3. He'll take the snap, backpedal, and a timeout
1:00:54
Speaker 1: taken by Utah.
1:00:59
Speaker 6: At 6 minutes, 8 seconds, Utah called their first charge timeout.
1:01:05
Speaker 1: 30 seconds in length. Why is this offense so out
1:01:09
Speaker 1: of sync right now, Sly?
1:01:11
Speaker 2: It's feeling sorry for themselves. Don't feel sorry for themselves.
1:01:14
Speaker 2: As I said, forget about what happened. Successes, failures, whatever.
1:01:19
Speaker 2: Forget about that. Focus on the now right now. There
1:01:22
Speaker 2: was just a thing, right? I don't know what Bird
1:01:24
Speaker 2: was doing. It's a timing thing. I don't know why
1:01:27
Speaker 2: it was where he decided to stop was right in
1:01:29
Speaker 2: front of the snap. And next thing you know, you
1:01:32
Speaker 2: mistimed that. Then Devin goes too far outside and And
1:01:35
Speaker 2: Shunover does a great job of watching the snap and
1:01:39
Speaker 2: gets an edge right there. But they've got to forget
1:01:42
Speaker 2: about the last play right there. Everybody's now got to
1:01:44
Speaker 2: try to be the hero. Just do your job. Everybody,
1:01:47
Speaker 2: even Devin, everybody's got to just do your job and
1:01:50
Speaker 2: things will work out.
1:01:52
Speaker 1: Third down and 14. Empty backfield again out of the
1:01:55
Speaker 1: Utah timeout. 6.08 to play. Big third down here. BYU
1:01:58
Speaker 1: showing pressure. Play clock at one. And now what do
1:02:05
Speaker 1: we have? It's going to be a delay of game.
1:02:07
Speaker 4: Delay of game. Offense, five-yard penalty, third down.
1:02:10
Speaker 1: Why do you get a delay of game coming out
1:02:12
Speaker 1: of a timeout?
1:02:12
Speaker 2: That's the biggest question. I don't know if you're trying
1:02:16
Speaker 2: to check with me. Offense, it's clear it was a zone.
1:02:18
Speaker 2: As soon as you motioned Wayshawn out of the backfield,
1:02:21
Speaker 2: you saw it was a zone. So whatever your next
1:02:23
Speaker 2: zone play was, check to it and let's go.
1:02:26
Speaker 1: Third down and 19 now, back at their own 16-yard line.
1:02:34
Speaker 2: Man coverage.
1:02:35
Speaker 1: Devin, backpedals. Here comes the pressure. Looking down the field.
1:02:38
Speaker 1: He's got Larry Simmons out there. Incomplete. No flag. The
1:02:43
Speaker 1: ball was underthrown to Larry Simmons, and he had to
1:02:45
Speaker 1: come back to get it. Coverage was okay by Jaden Williams,
1:02:48
Speaker 1: but if he leaves that ball a little further out there,
1:02:51
Speaker 1: that's a big play.
1:02:52
Speaker 2: That's a fade route, right?
1:02:54
Speaker 4: Everybody knows.
1:02:55
Speaker 2: On a fade route, you throw it on the outside
1:02:57
Speaker 2: shoulder between the receiver and the sideline right there. You
1:02:59
Speaker 2: do that, that's one. Simmons had a step on the defender.
1:03:03
Speaker 2: Utah has changed jerseys for the scrimmage kick. He had
1:03:05
Speaker 2: a step on the defender, but that's a completed big
1:03:07
Speaker 2: pass right there. You get a first down. Got to
1:03:09
Speaker 2: be on the outside right there.
1:03:10
Speaker 1: Cannon DeVries at his own 39. Orion Phillips punting from
1:03:13
Speaker 1: inside of his own five-yard line. Another three and out
1:03:17
Speaker 1: for the Utah offense. This one is a decent kick
1:03:20
Speaker 1: by Phillips. DeVries is going to come up and take
1:03:22
Speaker 1: it in fair catch at his own 40-yard line. And
1:03:27
Speaker 1: down behind the play, we've got an injured BYU football player,
1:03:29
Speaker 1: but BYU's got it back again. They've scored on four
1:03:33
Speaker 1: consecutive drives.
1:03:35
Speaker 4: Timeout on the field for an injured BYU player.
1:03:38
Speaker 1: They've got 5.53 and two timeouts remaining in great starting
1:03:43
Speaker 1: field position. Zundel, the injured player for BYU. The Utah
1:03:51
Speaker 1: defense got one stop today. That was on the very
1:03:54
Speaker 1: first drive. After that, BYU's moved it it will this
1:03:57
Speaker 1: is it got to be an opportunity for them to
1:03:59
Speaker 1: get a stop because BYU Will get the football to
1:04:02
Speaker 1: begin things in the second half. You can't afford to
1:04:05
Speaker 1: let them get more points here.
1:04:08
Speaker 2: It's the biggest thing has been this defense the leaders
1:04:11
Speaker 2: need to step up right they got to get the
1:04:13
Speaker 2: crowd back into it We're gonna talk about this when
1:04:16
Speaker 2: we go to the break halftime, but like The blue
1:04:19
Speaker 2: guys have just done a great job of taking the
1:04:21
Speaker 2: crowd out of it, right? They wavered the storm. It's
1:04:23
Speaker 2: what happens at the beginning of the game with scripted possessions.
1:04:26
Speaker 2: They wavered that storm and took the crowd out of it.
1:04:28
Speaker 2: Utah has to get the crowd back into this. The
1:04:31
Speaker 2: defense has to wake up, get lined up, be extremely
1:04:35
Speaker 2: detail focused on every single play match.
1:04:38
Speaker 1: First and 10 BYU from their own 40-yard line. Bachmeier
1:04:43
Speaker 1: stands by himself in the secondary, in the shotgun. This
1:04:47
Speaker 1: is going to be a pass or a quarterback keeper
1:04:49
Speaker 1: right here. Bachmeier throws to the outside. He has it complete.
1:04:54
Speaker 1: Beyond the 40 to about the 42-yard line goes Kyler Casper,
1:04:57
Speaker 1: the big, lanky wide receiver with his first catch today.
1:05:01
Speaker 1: Second down and eight coming up.
1:05:02
Speaker 2: Good read right there by Trey Reynolds. They're continuing to
1:05:05
Speaker 2: flow to the play. Bobo should not pull in that
1:05:07
Speaker 2: play up. Getting inside that receiver stock block and stopping
1:05:11
Speaker 2: that for a short game.
1:05:13
Speaker 1: Clock running inside of five and a half to play.
1:05:15
Speaker 1: Second down and eight, BYU leading at 20 to 14.
1:05:19
Speaker 1: Three receivers left. Tailback, Moa. Going to hand that ball
1:05:23
Speaker 1: to Moa. He's got running room to about the 45.
1:05:25
Speaker 1: He picks up three yards. It'll be third down and
1:05:28
Speaker 1: five here for the Cougars.
1:05:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're getting confidence running the ball right now. That
1:05:31
Speaker 2: is not what you want. They're going straight ahead running play.
1:05:34
Speaker 2: Nothing cute right now. This is physical on physical. Utah
1:05:37
Speaker 2: has to step up and knock that out. It's a
1:05:39
Speaker 2: big third down right here.
1:05:40
Speaker 1: They're three for six on third down to the BYU
1:05:42
Speaker 1: Cougars right at their season average and convert about 50%.
1:05:46
Speaker 1: Inside of five to play the clock rolling. Bachmeier out
1:05:49
Speaker 1: of the shotgun.
1:05:49
Speaker 2: It's Kyler Casper on the bottom side here.
1:05:52
Speaker 1: They may take a shot. We'll see. Bachmeier to pass.
1:05:56
Speaker 1: A lot of time over the middle. It's caught by
1:05:58
Speaker 1: Walker Lyons. He's having a huge day to the Utah
1:06:02
Speaker 1: 40 in a first down. They have no answer today
1:06:05
Speaker 1: for Walker Lyons.
1:06:09
Speaker 2: That's just the linebacker. He's got to pack that in
1:06:11
Speaker 2: it's very hard cuz you don't know where the receivers
1:06:13
Speaker 2: at the receivers jobs to get right behind that second
1:06:15
Speaker 2: level of The linebacker right there. I don't know if
1:06:18
Speaker 2: the umpire was in Trey Reynolds way But we got
1:06:20
Speaker 2: to pack that all the way in this bear Bogmeier
1:06:22
Speaker 2: continues to hold the football And he's able to see
1:06:25
Speaker 2: that come open that backside safety have to see that.
1:06:28
Speaker 1: Over out and take it away first intent to the
1:06:31
Speaker 1: Utah 41 for the Cougars Play action roll for Bear Bachmeier.
1:06:34
Speaker 1: Looking down the field. Wide open and intercepted! No, they're
1:06:38
Speaker 1: going to say it hit the ground. He underthrew his man. Oh,
1:06:41
Speaker 1: he has Reggie.
1:06:42
Speaker 4: Scooby thinks he has it.
1:06:43
Speaker 2: Scooby thinks he has it.
1:06:44
Speaker 1: Scooby Davis thinks he's got an interception. The referee said
1:06:47
Speaker 1: it hit the ground.
1:06:49
Speaker 4: Pulling on the field is an incomplete pass. It's second down.
1:06:53
Speaker 2: Wow, we need to get a review. Come on, home booth.
1:06:56
Speaker 2: Show us a replay here.
1:07:00
Speaker 1: Did he get his hands underneath this? Well, he did.
1:07:03
Speaker 1: That's an interception.
1:07:04
Speaker 4: Timeout. Timeout, Morgan.
1:07:05
Speaker 2: There we go.
1:07:07
Speaker 1: Got movement all over the place.
1:07:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, good job by BYU at trying to get a
1:07:11
Speaker 2: quick snap right here.
1:07:12
Speaker 1: That's going to be an interception for Scooby Davis. BYU
1:07:16
Speaker 1: tried to snap it quick. They got a flag for
1:07:18
Speaker 1: a procedure call.
1:07:21
Speaker 4: False start. Number 7.
1:07:22
Speaker 1: Offense.
1:07:23
Speaker 4: 5-yard penalty.
1:07:25
Speaker 2: Hit on the video board. Get on the video board.
1:07:28
Speaker 2: Replay that thing. Come on, home video board.
1:07:31
Speaker 1: Where's the booth on this? Where's the booth review?
1:07:33
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a different network, so maybe. But Scali's
1:07:36
Speaker 2: got to take a timeout.
1:07:37
Speaker 7: Who cares?
1:07:38
Speaker 2: Burn the timeout.
1:07:39
Speaker 1: This is a.
1:07:39
Speaker 2: Huge opportunity right here.
1:07:41
Speaker 1: Can they do it now that a penalty's been called?
1:07:43
Speaker 1: Does that count as a play? Yes, yes, yes.
1:07:45
Speaker 2: No, you can still review it. You can still review it.
1:07:48
Speaker 2: Watch Morgan here.
1:07:50
Speaker 1: He's not calling a timeout. It's second down and ten.
1:07:55
Speaker 1: I don't understand that.
1:07:57
Speaker 4: Take a look at least.
1:08:00
Speaker 1: There's another movement on the right side. Walker Lions moving the.
1:08:03
Speaker 2: Video board to continue playing the replay so we can
1:08:05
Speaker 2: all be sure.
1:08:07
Speaker 1: You would think that false start number seven offense.
1:08:10
Speaker 4: 5 yard penalty still second down.
1:08:17
Speaker 1: It sure looked like an interception on the video board.
1:08:20
Speaker 1: I can't understand why they didn't at least get give
1:08:22
Speaker 1: this a look. Second down at 20 now all the
1:08:26
Speaker 1: way back. And the BYU 44-yard line clock stopped with 4.04
1:08:30
Speaker 1: to play.
1:08:32
Speaker 2: It must have hit the ground because nobody's even.
1:08:36
Speaker 1: Here we go. Bachmeier out of the shotgun. Glasker comes
1:08:41
Speaker 1: in motion. Bachmeier to pass, throws the flanker screen to
1:08:45
Speaker 1: legend Glasker, and he's going to pick up a few yards.
1:08:48
Speaker 1: He'll get to the Utah 49, maybe 48-yard line. Third
1:08:51
Speaker 1: down and extremely long coming up here from BYU.
1:08:59
Speaker 2: That's a good job. They only picked up two yards,
1:09:01
Speaker 2: but honestly, how deep he was, he should have been
1:09:03
Speaker 2: in TFL right there. But again, the must, the north
1:09:06
Speaker 2: end zone. We've got to get this crowd back in it.
1:09:08
Speaker 2: That is going to be very, very important in this game.
1:09:11
Speaker 1: Third down and 17. They're four for seven on third down.
1:09:14
Speaker 1: They converted their last to Walker Lions. Got to get
1:09:17
Speaker 1: to the Utah 31. Bachmeier will pop pass legend Glasker.
1:09:22
Speaker 1: He is gonna be wrapped up in about you Utah
1:09:26
Speaker 1: 45 by Elijah Ellis And that'll bring the punt team
1:09:29
Speaker 1: out here for BYU clock running at 315 314 313
1:09:33
Speaker 1: to play so the Utah defense comes up with a stop.
1:09:36
Speaker 2: Extra effort plays Elijah Ellis blocked by multiple guys on
1:09:40
Speaker 2: that extra effort to get off of that and make
1:09:43
Speaker 2: the play on the Misdirection end around the legend glasser
1:09:47
Speaker 2: great job By Tui and making that extra effort playing
1:09:51
Speaker 2: getting them off.
1:09:51
Speaker 1: The field Carvalho who fumbled late in the first half
1:09:54
Speaker 1: against BYU a year ago stands at his own 10.
1:09:59
Speaker 1: Shirts will rugby this kick and angle it toward the sideline.
1:10:04
Speaker 1: That ball is going to hit and kick inside the
1:10:07
Speaker 1: 10 and take a BYU roll sideways to about the
1:10:11
Speaker 1: seven yard line with 236 to play here in the
1:10:14
Speaker 1: first half. a wild punt by shirts that time. I
1:10:17
Speaker 1: thought he was angling to the far side. It came
1:10:19
Speaker 1: back to the near side. 39 yard punt, no return.
1:10:22
Speaker 1: So Devin Dampier and the Utes have two timeouts, 236.
1:10:28
Speaker 1: to move down the field. Both of their scoring drives
1:10:29
Speaker 1: have been under two minutes today, so they can do it,
1:10:32
Speaker 1: but they've got to hold on to the football and
1:10:33
Speaker 1: make some plays here.
1:10:34
Speaker 2: Utah has to play with tempo. They have to play
1:10:36
Speaker 2: with tempo. I think that's how they get the rhythm back.
1:10:38
Speaker 2: They play really well when Devin calls the play at
1:10:42
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. They've got to cook with gas
1:10:44
Speaker 2: right now. Slowing down, get the rhythm back by going
1:10:47
Speaker 2: up tempo.
1:10:49
Speaker 1: From the Utah 7, 1st and 10, Wayshawn Parker in
1:10:52
Speaker 1: the backfield. Pistol formation lined up behind Devin Dampierre. play action.
1:10:57
Speaker 1: Devon's going to look down the field and throw it
1:11:00
Speaker 1: up and beyond Braden Pagan, incomplete. Fans thought he was
1:11:04
Speaker 1: being held by Rader to Mooney. No flag. Incomplete. It
1:11:08
Speaker 1: goes second down and ten. That ball, that play was
1:11:12
Speaker 1: blown up at the beginning though with the pressure right
1:11:14
Speaker 1: in Devon's face.
1:11:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the perfect play call right there and
1:11:18
Speaker 2: You get a cat blitz on the side right there.
1:11:20
Speaker 2: The tackle takes the corner, lets the D in right
1:11:22
Speaker 2: in play right there. And before Wayshon could block, the
1:11:26
Speaker 2: D in was up in his face, and Devin had
1:11:28
Speaker 2: to pull it.
1:11:30
Speaker 1: Two tights and two wides on second down and ten.
1:11:32
Speaker 1: Two and a half to play here in the first half.
1:11:34
Speaker 1: Utah from their own seven-yard line. Devin's going to pass again.
1:11:37
Speaker 1: Lots of time looking and surveying. Pressure coming down the field.
1:11:41
Speaker 1: Ball deflected at the line of scrimmage incomplete. That's going
1:11:44
Speaker 1: to bring up third and ten. And Sly, only 15
1:11:48
Speaker 1: seconds have come off the clock.
1:11:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not good. The blue guys get the ball
1:11:52
Speaker 2: in the third quarter right here, so you want to
1:11:53
Speaker 2: do something. But it's just been small things right here
1:11:57
Speaker 2: that's been affecting everything.
1:11:59
Speaker 1: Isaiah Glasker got his hands up to knock that ball down,
1:12:02
Speaker 1: so third and ten. Utah won for their last four
1:12:05
Speaker 1: on third down, two for five overall. They've got to
1:12:08
Speaker 1: get it out to the 17-yard line.
1:12:12
Speaker 4: Got to go here.
1:12:13
Speaker 2: Let's go. Catch them up. They're not ready.
1:12:15
Speaker 1: Play clock at 10. Devon's going to throw.
1:12:17
Speaker 4: Three-man rush.
1:12:18
Speaker 1: Got a man wide open outside and caught by Larry Simmons.
1:12:21
Speaker 1: That'll be first down yardage to about the 20-yard line.
1:12:24
Speaker 1: Huayshon Parker did a heck of a job picking up
1:12:26
Speaker 1: the blitz.
1:12:27
Speaker 2: Now Huayshon was the one who was open on the
1:12:30
Speaker 2: boundary here.
1:12:30
Speaker 1: Now they're going to go with some tempo. Try and
1:12:33
Speaker 1: get a playoff before halftime. 207, 206, 205. First and
1:12:38
Speaker 1: 10 for the 19-yard line. Devon takes the snap and
1:12:40
Speaker 1: backpedals again. Just a four-man BYU rush. He's throwing it
1:12:43
Speaker 1: long and incomplete. Trying to get that ball to Larry Simmons.
1:12:48
Speaker 1: Not much of a chance there. Second down and 10.
1:12:50
Speaker 1: We've reached a two-minute timeout here in the first half.
1:12:53
Speaker 4: This is the two-minute timeout. Timeout on the field.
1:12:56
Speaker 1: Timeout on the field with a minute 57 to play.
1:12:58
Speaker 1: BYU 20, Utah 14. This is Utah football from ESPN
1:13:02
Speaker 1: 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
1:13:05
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Pepsi
1:13:08
Speaker 7: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
1:13:12
Speaker 1: Inter 57 to play here in the first half. BYU 20,
1:13:15
Speaker 1: Utah 14. Second and 10 for Utah. A thorough 19-yard line.
1:13:20
Speaker 1: How about this spat stat for today? All the Utah
1:13:23
Speaker 1: possessions today have been less than two minutes. Their two
1:13:26
Speaker 1: touchdown drives, less than two minutes. Their three punts, less
1:13:30
Speaker 1: than two minutes. Their one fumble drive, less than two minutes.
1:13:35
Speaker 1: They want this one to be a little less than
1:13:37
Speaker 1: two minutes because there's only a minute 57 to play
1:13:40
Speaker 1: before halftime, but they face a second down and 10
1:13:42
Speaker 1: right now. So it feels to me like they've kind
1:13:45
Speaker 1: of abandoned the running game a little bit here late
1:13:47
Speaker 1: in the first half.
1:13:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about flow and trying to get your rhythm back.
1:13:52
Speaker 2: And I think running the football does.
1:13:55
Speaker 4: We said it years ago.
1:13:56
Speaker 2: We get down by a couple touchdowns, and Coach Witt's like,
1:13:58
Speaker 2: we got to run the football. I'm like, what? And
1:14:00
Speaker 2: that got the rhythm back. That opens up the play
1:14:02
Speaker 2: action and all that.
1:14:03
Speaker 4: So I agree with you.
1:14:04
Speaker 2: I don't know how they do that. For me, I'm
1:14:06
Speaker 2: getting Bird Ficklin back in the game. QB run game
1:14:09
Speaker 2: with that. Run your offense off of that. And then
1:14:11
Speaker 2: Wayshawn Parker in that mix, too. But, yeah, got to
1:14:14
Speaker 2: get the run game back in on this game.
1:14:15
Speaker 1: Wayshon's in the backfield right now on second down and 10.
1:14:18
Speaker 1: Utah at their own 19-yard line, minute 57 to play
1:14:22
Speaker 1: before halftime. Two receivers split wide to the right, one
1:14:25
Speaker 1: wide to the left-hand side here. BYU with four at
1:14:28
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, maybe showing a little pressure off
1:14:30
Speaker 1: the edge. Devin motions Wayshon out of the backfield. Devin looking,
1:14:35
Speaker 1: throwing in the flat. He's got Wayshon Parker. Wayshon's going
1:14:38
Speaker 1: to get up the field, make one man miss and
1:14:40
Speaker 1: another man miss and get back to the line of scrimmage,
1:14:42
Speaker 1: and that's it. Third down and 10 coming up here
1:14:45
Speaker 1: for Utah. That was just a long pass and a
1:14:50
Speaker 1: long play developing right there.
1:14:52
Speaker 2: It was. It sucks because that is the fourth progression
1:14:55
Speaker 2: on that route right there. But it's a high success
1:14:57
Speaker 2: if you get to him quick. It's just unable to.
1:15:00
Speaker 1: Third down and 10 for Utah from their own 19-yard line.
1:15:04
Speaker 1: Four receivers set this time for Utah. BYU bringing pressure.
1:15:07
Speaker 1: Extra man on the way. Devin stepping away from that pressure.
1:15:10
Speaker 1: And he fumbles it! And BYU recovers! At the 20-yard line. Oh, goodness.
1:15:18
Speaker 1: The one thing you couldn't do on that play happened,
1:15:22
Speaker 1: and the Cougars will have it first and ten at
1:15:24
Speaker 1: the Utah 20 with a minute 17 to play before halftime.
1:15:34
Speaker 1: This game has gone backwards for the Utah offense.
1:15:38
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:15:40
Speaker 2: That's hard. He's trying to break the pocket, but he's
1:15:43
Speaker 2: got to stop the The press, I don't feel like
1:15:45
Speaker 2: they're bringing too many extra guys. We're just not able
1:15:49
Speaker 2: to stop the progression. The normal pass protection that we
1:15:52
Speaker 2: have is just not there. Devin tries to make a play.
1:15:55
Speaker 2: He's able to come out of that. He's able to
1:15:57
Speaker 2: get some good yardage on that play right there. But man,
1:16:00
Speaker 2: they're just closing the pocket really fast.
1:16:02
Speaker 1: Can't give up a touchdown here if you're Utah. First
1:16:05
Speaker 1: and 10, BYU at the Utah 20. Minute 17 to
1:16:08
Speaker 1: play in the half. Bachmeier, play action throw. In cut.
1:16:13
Speaker 1: caught at about the 17 yard line that was a
1:16:16
Speaker 1: step away from elijah reed sending that the other way
1:16:19
Speaker 1: for a pick six but a gain of about two
1:16:21
Speaker 1: yards to the 18 yard line i.
1:16:22
Speaker 2: Love being safe on it and just being there for
1:16:25
Speaker 2: the tackle he did have the angle to make the
1:16:27
Speaker 2: interception but if he misses and that's a catch that's
1:16:29
Speaker 2: a touchdown but good safe play.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: Right there from the utah 18 second and eight Buckmeyer
1:16:34
Speaker 1: to pass again, looking in the flat. It's intercepted by
1:16:37
Speaker 1: Bobo Chenault.
1:16:39
Speaker 8: Bobo's got it up the field to the 30-yard line.
1:16:42
Speaker 8: The defense needed to make a stop, and a big
1:16:45
Speaker 8: interception by James Bobo Chenault.
1:16:50
Speaker 1: 45 seconds to play before halftime. Juice. momentum.
1:16:59
Speaker 4: It's what we need. 45 seconds.
1:17:01
Speaker 2: We can definitely get down the field in an amount
1:17:02
Speaker 2: of time, but it's all about confidence and making it happen.
1:17:05
Speaker 2: Pay this turnover off. It's 45 seconds left in this half.
1:17:08
Speaker 2: They got to be aggressive and make things happen right now.
1:17:11
Speaker 2: Have confidence and go make some happen. Get into the
1:17:13
Speaker 2: end zone this before the halftime.
1:17:15
Speaker 1: That was Utah's first turnover against BYU since the fourth
1:17:18
Speaker 1: quarter in the 2019 game. 45 seconds, two timeouts for
1:17:25
Speaker 1: Devin Dampier to try to make amends for the fumble
1:17:28
Speaker 1: moments ago. Trailing 20-14. Devin out of the shotgun. He'll
1:17:32
Speaker 1: backpedal to pass. Pressure in his face. Steps around it.
1:17:35
Speaker 1: Looking up the field. Throwing up the field. And caught
1:17:38
Speaker 1: by Braden Pagan. Out of bounds. They're going to say
1:17:41
Speaker 1: his foot was out of bounds.
1:17:42
Speaker 4: Cooling on the field is an incomplete pass. It's second down.
1:17:46
Speaker 1: Devon's got to make that completion. He had Pagan wide open.
1:17:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to be a little low. I know
1:17:51
Speaker 2: he's 6'5, but yeah, that's just steps out of bounds
1:17:53
Speaker 2: right there.
1:17:54
Speaker 4: I know he's 6'5, but that is a very hard.
1:17:56
Speaker 2: Pass right there.
1:17:57
Speaker 1: Take a deep breath and get your accuracy on. Second
1:18:02
Speaker 1: down and 10 Utah at the 30-yard line. 38 seconds
1:18:07
Speaker 1: to play. Two timeouts for the Utes. Parker in the
1:18:09
Speaker 1: backfield with Devin Dampier. BYU showing five up front. Here
1:18:14
Speaker 1: they come. Four-man game. Devin with plenty of time. Surveying
1:18:18
Speaker 1: the field. Still surveying the field. Scrambling, looking, coming back
1:18:22
Speaker 1: to his left again. Now he's going to run it.
1:18:25
Speaker 1: And he goes down after a two-yard gain. Utah's going
1:18:28
Speaker 1: to have to take a timeout here. And they do
1:18:31
Speaker 1: with 23 seconds to play. Nobody was open down the field.
1:18:34
Speaker 2: It wasn't, and they got to understand.
1:18:36
Speaker 6: At 25 seconds, Utah called their second charge timeout.
1:18:41
Speaker 1: And that's going to bring up 30.
1:18:42
Speaker 4: Seconds in length.
1:18:44
Speaker 2: The receivers got to understand. They were doing it. They
1:18:45
Speaker 2: were trying to uncover it, but they got to keep running.
1:18:48
Speaker 2: A lot of guys, they see them go away from it.
1:18:50
Speaker 2: them and they just stop running instead of continuing on
1:18:52
Speaker 2: running You see that play, and Devin's got tons of
1:18:55
Speaker 2: times that he hasn't thrown it to you yet. Go
1:18:57
Speaker 2: straight up field. If he hasn't thrown it to you yet,
1:18:59
Speaker 2: come right back to him because that's a high percentage play.
1:19:02
Speaker 2: Fake up. That defender comes with you. You come back
1:19:04
Speaker 2: to him. Devin can find you. Guys see Devin go left.
1:19:08
Speaker 2: They got a route going to the right. They see
1:19:09
Speaker 2: Devin go left, and they just stop. They can't do that.
1:19:12
Speaker 2: They got to continue to work and come open because
1:19:14
Speaker 2: Devin buys time with his legs.
1:19:16
Speaker 1: 25 seconds. One timeout remains for Utah. Third and eight.
1:19:21
Speaker 1: From their own 32 yard line, Utah three for seven
1:19:25
Speaker 1: on third down. Devin operating out of the shotgun with
1:19:31
Speaker 1: way Sean Parker to his left BYU crowding the line
1:19:34
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Here come the Cougars rushing off the edge.
1:19:41
Speaker 1: Devin looking, he'll step up, he'll throw and it's nearly intercepted.
1:19:46
Speaker 1: Oh goodness. Fasatuwala nearly had himself a pick. He threw
1:19:51
Speaker 1: it late to Simmons. It goes incomplete. That'll bring the
1:19:54
Speaker 1: punt team out with 20 seconds to play before halftime.
1:19:58
Speaker 1: Another three and out for Utah.
1:20:01
Speaker 6: Utah is using the number jersey change for the scrimmage kick.
1:20:10
Speaker 1: This game has turned in a big way. First two drives,
1:20:15
Speaker 1: 14-0 Utah. Since then, all Cougars. Orion Phillips on the punt.
1:20:20
Speaker 1: Cannon DeVries, high snap. Kick is high. Kick is away.
1:20:25
Speaker 1: DeVries is going to fair catch it at his own
1:20:28
Speaker 1: 18-yard line with 12 seconds to play before halftime. Two
1:20:32
Speaker 1: timeouts for the Cougars. Best punt of the day for
1:20:33
Speaker 1: Orion Phillips. 50 yards, no return. And my guess is
1:20:37
Speaker 1: Kalani Satake will take a knee, head to the locker
1:20:39
Speaker 1: room because he knows he's got the ball coming out
1:20:41
Speaker 1: after halftime. We'll hear from Zach Moss and Morgan Scali
1:20:45
Speaker 1: coming up here momentarily. Morgan Scali and the Utes have
1:20:49
Speaker 1: to figure some things out at halftime.
1:20:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do, especially on this defensive side of the ball.
1:20:54
Speaker 2: They're going to take a knee right here and get
1:20:57
Speaker 2: out of this.
1:20:58
Speaker 1: There it is. That's the D, and the BYU Cougars
1:21:01
Speaker 1: have scored 20 unanswered here at Rice-Eckel Stadium to take
1:21:05
Speaker 1: a 20-14 lead at the half. Both teams will head
1:21:09
Speaker 1: to the locker room. We'll hear from Zach Moss momentarily
1:21:11
Speaker 1: as he catches up with head coach Morgan Scali. Go ahead, Zach.
1:21:19
Speaker 4: Thank you.
1:21:20
Speaker 3: Coach, a lot of momentum shifts in this game. What's
1:21:23
Speaker 3: it going to take to pull this one out?
1:21:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got to weather the storm. You've got to
1:21:27
Speaker 5: get momentum back in our favor. It was a nice
1:21:29
Speaker 5: job by the defense getting an interception there, but Cat turned.
1:21:32
Speaker 1: The ball over.
1:21:33
Speaker 5: Like we've been doing, and we've got to be able
1:21:35
Speaker 5: to get some first downs. Chunk yardage plays are also
1:21:37
Speaker 5: an issue on the defensive side of the ball.
1:21:39
Speaker 2: We knew this was going to be a battle. We
1:21:40
Speaker 2: just got to fight.
1:21:41
Speaker 3: Offense got up to a really fast start. What do
1:21:43
Speaker 3: they got to do to keep this thing going and
1:21:44
Speaker 3: put some more points on the board? Defense is playing
1:21:46
Speaker 3: really good.
1:21:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, just first downs. Just get first downs. If you
1:21:49
Speaker 5: make first downs, I think we're looking for the big shot.
1:21:51
Speaker 5: We just got to get first downs.
1:21:52
Speaker 2: Thanks, Coach.
1:21:54
Speaker 1: Zach, Morgan, thank you. That sideline update brought to you
1:21:57
Speaker 1: by Ken Garth. We hear you. 30 minutes of football
1:22:00
Speaker 1: with the books here. Looked like Utah early. Now it's
1:22:03
Speaker 1: BYU by six. Cougars will get the ball coming out
1:22:06
Speaker 1: at halftime.
1:22:07
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Bamboo
1:22:11
Speaker 7: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
1:22:18
Speaker 1: Back at Rice Eccles Stadium. Welcome you back in. Just
1:22:21
Speaker 1: about ready for second half action. Utah trailing BYU 20-14
1:22:24
Speaker 1: here at the half, our second half. Being brought to
1:22:26
Speaker 1: you by University of Utah Health. Get the same great
1:22:28
Speaker 1: care the Utes Trust. Visit uofuhealth.org slash Utes. Halftime adjustment, Sly, what?
1:22:36
Speaker 2: Execute, right? For me, it's this first drive, right? You
1:22:40
Speaker 2: go back to the Houston game a couple weeks ago.
1:22:43
Speaker 2: Houston's was 3-0. They go on an eight-minute drive to
1:22:46
Speaker 2: start the third quarter and score a touchdown, go up 10-0.
1:22:50
Speaker 2: But this offense found something in the second quarter, so
1:22:52
Speaker 2: they got on the field and made it happen. But
1:22:54
Speaker 2: this defense has to find their juice. The key for
1:22:56
Speaker 2: me in this second half is this crowd. You have
1:23:00
Speaker 2: to get the crowd back into it. North end zone
1:23:03
Speaker 2: has to get loud again. Must has to get loud again.
1:23:06
Speaker 2: This crowd has to get back into the game. That
1:23:08
Speaker 2: players feed off of that energy. And to finish this
1:23:11
Speaker 2: game is exactly what we need. So get the crowd
1:23:13
Speaker 2: back in. It's a big thing. Sacks make that happen.
1:23:16
Speaker 2: TFLs make that happen. Interceptions or turnovers make that happen.
1:23:20
Speaker 2: It's going to be vital. for us to finish this
1:23:23
Speaker 2: game by getting this crowd back into the game.
1:23:25
Speaker 1: Utes have no TFLs in the first half. They have
1:23:28
Speaker 1: no sacks in the first half. BYU has two sacks
1:23:31
Speaker 1: and two and four TFLs in the first half. And
1:23:33
Speaker 1: by the way, we've talked about the turnover battle and
1:23:37
Speaker 1: all that stuff in this series. Under Kalani Satake, when
1:23:40
Speaker 1: BYU wins the turnover battle, and they're plus one here today,
1:23:44
Speaker 1: they're 52-8. They've got a pretty good record.
1:23:47
Speaker 4: Great day to go 52-9.
1:23:48
Speaker 2: Let's go.
1:23:50
Speaker 1: Utah's going to have to find some offense. They had
1:23:52
Speaker 1: 138 yards on their first two drives. They had 35
1:23:55
Speaker 1: yards of offense on their last six drives. Every one
1:23:59
Speaker 1: of their drives today have been two minutes or less.
1:24:01
Speaker 1: They have to find a way to get some points
1:24:03
Speaker 1: and get some stops here. BYU's been very good as well.
1:24:06
Speaker 1: 30 minutes down and 30 minutes to go on this Saturday.
1:24:10
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful Saturday here in Salt Lake City. The
1:24:13
Speaker 1: 101st consecutive sellout. Everything was coming up Utah the first
1:24:17
Speaker 1: couple of minutes of the game, but BYU has answered.
1:24:19
Speaker 1: Now Utah's got to answer themselves out of the locker room.
1:24:22
Speaker 1: BYU will get the football to begin things. Moving north
1:24:26
Speaker 1: to south, Canada Breeze will be back to receive this
1:24:28
Speaker 1: kick from Dylan Curtis. We've seen Utah come back in
1:24:34
Speaker 1: this series before. In fact, in 2018, the last time
1:24:37
Speaker 1: they beat BYU in this building. They were down big
1:24:41
Speaker 1: time in the second half of the game before they
1:24:43
Speaker 1: came roaring back. We'll check in on the sideline momentarily
1:24:46
Speaker 1: here with Zach Moss.
1:24:47
Speaker 2: Talk about the legend of Jason Shelley.
1:24:49
Speaker 1: Jason Shelley that night. Utah defense. I think maybe Julian
1:24:53
Speaker 1: Blackman may have gotten himself a pick six in that game.
1:24:57
Speaker 1: Any and all of those things would be great here
1:24:59
Speaker 1: in the second half for Utah. As we're just about
1:25:03
Speaker 1: ready to go here. BYU football to begin things. Leading
1:25:06
Speaker 1: it 20-14. Dylan Curtis has it teed up at his
1:25:10
Speaker 1: own 35, kicking south to north here.
1:25:13
Speaker 4: Let's go, Hughes.
1:25:14
Speaker 1: At Rice-Eccles Stadium. So glad you're with us. First 30
1:25:19
Speaker 1: were pretty exciting. Let's see if the second 30 can
1:25:22
Speaker 1: match that here in Salt Lake City this afternoon. That's
1:25:28
Speaker 1: going to be a touchback out of the back of
1:25:29
Speaker 1: the end zone. We go down to the sideline. Zach
1:25:31
Speaker 1: Moss with us. Zach, what was the vibe in that
1:25:33
Speaker 1: locker room? What's the vibe on that sideline as things
1:25:35
Speaker 1: begin here in the second half?
1:25:37
Speaker 2: Find a way. That was the message.
1:25:38
Speaker 4: Find a way.
1:25:39
Speaker 2: Find a way. Find a way.
1:25:40
Speaker 4: One score game, man, they're still in it.
1:25:42
Speaker 3: Nobody's hanging their heads.
1:25:44
Speaker 2: These guys are ready to go.
1:25:44
Speaker 3: Just got to find a way to finish and not
1:25:48
Speaker 3: turn this ball over a little bit.
1:25:49
Speaker 1: Thank you, Zach. Sideline update brought to you by Ken Garf.
1:25:52
Speaker 1: We hear you. Second half brought to you by Smith's,
1:25:55
Speaker 1: the official grocer of Utah Athletics. First and ten for
1:25:58
Speaker 1: Bear Bachmeier of the Cougars with their own 25-yard line.
1:26:01
Speaker 1: Lasker comes in motion. They hand it to Lasker. Flags fly.
1:26:04
Speaker 1: BYU was moving early. They tried to go quick, and
1:26:08
Speaker 1: they went too quick.
1:26:10
Speaker 4: False start, number 52. Offense, five-yard penalty. It's first down.
1:26:15
Speaker 1: The right tackle moved early that time for BYU, so
1:26:19
Speaker 1: back them up five yards. Very reminiscent of their opening
1:26:22
Speaker 1: drive of the ballgame. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:26:24
Speaker 2: I'll take it.
1:26:24
Speaker 4: I'll take it.
1:26:25
Speaker 2: Anything that we need to move them back for words
1:26:28
Speaker 2: and get negative plays, I'll take it. But this defense
1:26:31
Speaker 2: has to step up here.
1:26:33
Speaker 1: Second down, make it first and 15. Bachmeier backs up
1:26:36
Speaker 1: into the gun with L.J. Martin next to him. Glasker
1:26:38
Speaker 1: comes in motion. Play action, flanker screen to the outside.
1:26:42
Speaker 1: Legend Glasker picks up yardage beyond the 25, out to
1:26:46
Speaker 1: about the 26-yard line. Elijah Reed ran him out of bounds.
1:26:49
Speaker 1: I'll give him the, where did they mark.
1:26:52
Speaker 4: Him?
1:26:53
Speaker 2: Seven yards.
1:26:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, seven yards to the 27. Second down and eight
1:26:56
Speaker 1: coming up here. They love that play to Glasker.
1:26:58
Speaker 2: Anytime you get your players well, Jackson Binney has it here.
1:27:01
Speaker 4: Just shoots the wrong leg.
1:27:02
Speaker 2: You gotta shoot the backside leg right there to cut
1:27:05
Speaker 2: off the forward momentum. Or just keep your feet. That's
1:27:08
Speaker 2: a one-yard game.
1:27:09
Speaker 1: LJ Martin, the tailback. Bachmeier's going to keep it himself.
1:27:13
Speaker 1: Bear Bachmeier, he's going to be wrapped up and taken
1:27:15
Speaker 1: down at about the 32-yard line after a gain of five.
1:27:18
Speaker 1: Third down and three coming up here for the Cougars.
1:27:21
Speaker 2: Good physical tackle by Trey Reynolds right there. It's third
1:27:24
Speaker 2: down and short again. Expect him to go back to
1:27:27
Speaker 2: that QB run game right there.
1:27:29
Speaker 4: It's going to be another.
1:27:30
Speaker 2: QB draw RPO type of game. Tighten up inside leverage.
1:27:35
Speaker 2: For these slotting and tight end defenders.
1:27:37
Speaker 1: They've liked Walker Lyons on third down as well. Third
1:27:40
Speaker 1: down and three. Cougars are four out of eight on
1:27:44
Speaker 1: third down right at their season average. Bachmeier out of
1:27:48
Speaker 1: the gun. Utah rushing four. Bachmeier with time. Going down
1:27:53
Speaker 1: the field. He's got Kasper. Is it caught? It is.
1:27:57
Speaker 1: What a catch by Kyler Kasper at the Utah 41-yard line.
1:28:01
Speaker 1: He got behind Scooby Davis and made one heck of
1:28:04
Speaker 1: a catch.
1:28:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just a great catch right there. That's
1:28:06
Speaker 2: all hands.
1:28:07
Speaker 4: Good job.
1:28:08
Speaker 2: Puts it away. That's a good catch and finish right there.
1:28:12
Speaker 1: Once again, Utah unable to pressure Bachmeier and unable to
1:28:14
Speaker 1: get BYU off the field on third down. First and
1:28:17
Speaker 1: ten Cougars for the Utah 41. They just can't get
1:28:21
Speaker 1: home with a pass rush today's line.
1:28:23
Speaker 2: And these leaders on the defensive line have got to
1:28:25
Speaker 2: step up. The Ethan Days, the Lance Holosquash have got.
1:28:27
Speaker 1: To get home. Martin in the backfield for the Utah 41.
1:28:31
Speaker 1: Play action again for Bachmeier. This time pressure in his face.
1:28:33
Speaker 1: This time intercepted at the 30, to the 40, to
1:28:37
Speaker 1: the 45. That's Lance Holtzclaw. The defensive end drops in
1:28:43
Speaker 1: coverage and comes up with a big interception. Second pick
1:28:47
Speaker 1: of Bachmeier today. Just what the doctor ordered for Utah.
1:28:52
Speaker 2: Exactly what you need. Good job of bringing pressure from
1:28:54
Speaker 2: the field side right there. For some reason, Blair is
1:28:57
Speaker 2: not seeing these underneath defenders. Of course, we had two
1:29:00
Speaker 2: dropped interceptions in that first half, but coming away with
1:29:03
Speaker 2: a big one right there.
1:29:04
Speaker 4: Great starting field position.
1:29:06
Speaker 2: Time for this offense to wake up and be aggressive
1:29:09
Speaker 2: on that side of the ball.
1:29:10
Speaker 1: Best starting field position of the day today for Utah,
1:29:13
Speaker 1: their own 46-yard line. Got to pay this drive off
1:29:16
Speaker 1: with some points. Way Sean Parker, the tailback, two tights
1:29:20
Speaker 1: and two wides for Devin Dampier. They shift the strength
1:29:25
Speaker 1: of the formation to the left hand side. Now they
1:29:27
Speaker 1: bring a man in motion, Ricky Johnson. Play action pass
1:29:32
Speaker 1: for Devin. He's going to be sacked. Schoonover got him.
1:29:35
Speaker 1: Pressure immediately dropped him back at the 44 yard line.
1:29:40
Speaker 2: It's a great defensive scheme. This jet formation right there.
1:29:43
Speaker 2: Schoonover just Bull rushes our guard right back into the
1:29:47
Speaker 2: lap right there. Devin's not able to see any. Devin's
1:29:49
Speaker 2: not the tallest, so if you close that pocket, it's
1:29:51
Speaker 2: getting even harder to see. Good job of protecting the
1:29:54
Speaker 2: football there.
1:29:54
Speaker 1: Third sack today by BYU. Second down and 13 back
1:29:58
Speaker 1: of the 43-yard line. Utah not doing themselves any favors
1:30:01
Speaker 1: right now. Devin by himself in the backfield. Now he
1:30:04
Speaker 1: brings Wayshon Parker back in again. Play-action pass again for Devin.
1:30:08
Speaker 1: Throwing it out in the flat to Parker. Wayshon's got
1:30:11
Speaker 1: the 45, and he puts his head down. And picks
1:30:14
Speaker 1: up yardage to about the 49 yard line. That'll be
1:30:16
Speaker 1: a gain of six. Third down and seven coming up.
1:30:20
Speaker 2: Oh, see the juice right there. That's exactly what the
1:30:23
Speaker 2: doctor ordered right there. Get Wayshawn Parker in the game.
1:30:26
Speaker 2: Pass the game, run the game, whatever.
1:30:27
Speaker 4: Get him the ball.
1:30:28
Speaker 2: He's going to be your electricity on offense to get
1:30:30
Speaker 2: your rhythm back. You pick up this first down right here.
1:30:33
Speaker 2: Get the ball to Wayshawn Parker. He looks like he's
1:30:35
Speaker 2: back in it here in the second half.
1:30:37
Speaker 1: Utah three out of eight on third down. From their
1:30:41
Speaker 1: own 49-yard line, Devin lines up at the shotgun. BYU
1:30:44
Speaker 1: with a four-man down front. They empty the backfield now
1:30:47
Speaker 1: for Devin. He throws, caught. That's right near first down yard.
1:30:50
Speaker 1: He's at the 45. He's going to be a yard short.
1:30:53
Speaker 1: Brayden Pagan's got to turn that thing upfield. Now there's...
1:30:56
Speaker 1: Ruling on the field. There's a runner short of the
1:30:58
Speaker 1: line again.
1:30:59
Speaker 4: It's fourth down.
1:30:59
Speaker 1: And he is. It's fourth down at about a yard.
1:31:01
Speaker 1: They're going to keep the offense out there. 11.30 to
1:31:04
Speaker 1: play here in the third quarter. Big call here for
1:31:06
Speaker 1: Morgan Scali. Big semi-tow long in the ball game. Wayshawn Parker,
1:31:12
Speaker 1: the Wildcat. Play clock at 15 here for Utah. Devon
1:31:20
Speaker 1: splits wide to the right-hand side. They'll send a corner
1:31:23
Speaker 1: out for him, but this is going to be a
1:31:24
Speaker 1: run all the way. BYU crowds the line. They bring
1:31:27
Speaker 1: Creed Whittemore in. Now they throw the option pass. They're
1:31:31
Speaker 1: looking for Devon down the field, and Devon Dampier goes up,
1:31:34
Speaker 1: and he comes down with it. He makes the catch
1:31:37
Speaker 1: at the BYU 15-yard line. We'll see if he stepped
1:31:44
Speaker 1: out of bounds. Nothing there right now.
1:31:50
Speaker 2: I saw the referee hat go off.
1:31:53
Speaker 1: Oh, he stayed in bounds. That's a great catch by Dampier. Well, one,
1:31:57
Speaker 1: it's a great.
1:31:57
Speaker 2: Job because the defender was being physical. Defender was being physical,
1:32:01
Speaker 2: so it's up to Devin Dampier to be physical right there.
1:32:03
Speaker 1: Inside the Canyon View Credit Union red zone, first and
1:32:06
Speaker 1: ten for the BYU 16, the pass from Creed Whittemore.
1:32:10
Speaker 1: Utah goes to the bag of tricks and comes up big.
1:32:14
Speaker 1: They throw the flanker screen out to Bird Fickler. Makes
1:32:17
Speaker 1: a man miss, and he fumbles the football, but he
1:32:19
Speaker 1: got back on it at about the 17th. Goodness gracious.
1:32:22
Speaker 1: Almost another Utah turnover. You've got to be secure with
1:32:26
Speaker 1: the football. Bird fell back on it after a loss
1:32:28
Speaker 1: of about a yard.
1:32:29
Speaker 2: Well, great job by the defender. Flying by, but as
1:32:32
Speaker 2: you're flying by, slide back to football. That stops the
1:32:35
Speaker 2: defender just as much as the tackle. That stops the
1:32:37
Speaker 2: receiver just as much as the tackle. But good job
1:32:39
Speaker 2: by Bird getting back on that ball right there, making
1:32:42
Speaker 2: sure that we didn't lose this possession.
1:32:44
Speaker 1: First trip into the red zone today for Utah. Second
1:32:46
Speaker 1: and 11 at the BYU 17. Parker in the backfield.
1:32:49
Speaker 1: Two tight ends move to the left-hand side for Utah.
1:32:52
Speaker 1: BYU shifts their personnel around up front. Now Devin's going
1:32:55
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. Now he's going to look to... Scramble,
1:32:58
Speaker 1: out to his right, throw out to his right, complete
1:33:01
Speaker 1: to Braden Pagan, and he'll be out of bounds at
1:33:03
Speaker 1: about the BYU 10. See where they mark him out.
1:33:06
Speaker 1: Did he step out at the 11? going to give
1:33:09
Speaker 1: him about the 10-yard line. That's going to be a
1:33:11
Speaker 1: gain of six on the play. Third down and four
1:33:13
Speaker 1: coming up.
1:33:13
Speaker 2: Well, you got to come in the offensive line right there.
1:33:15
Speaker 2: It's a great rush right there by Keanu Tanavasa. Almost
1:33:19
Speaker 2: gets to Devin Dampier, but escapes. Great hands, strong hands
1:33:22
Speaker 2: by Brady Pagan, and finishing, going upfield, getting a nice five,
1:33:26
Speaker 2: six-yard gain.
1:33:27
Speaker 1: What have you got here on third down? Kevin McGiven.
1:33:30
Speaker 1: Third down and four for the BYU 10. Cougars showing
1:33:32
Speaker 1: pressure on Devin Dampier. Five-wide look here on an empty backfield.
1:33:37
Speaker 1: Devin Backpedals. Throws. Fade. End zone. Up and dropped. It
1:33:42
Speaker 1: was in the hands of Creed Whittemore and he dropped
1:33:45
Speaker 1: it incomplete. And Utah's going to have to send the
1:33:48
Speaker 1: field goal team out here on fourth down and four.
1:33:51
Speaker 1: Canada Breeze had the coverage, but Devin dropped that one
1:33:54
Speaker 1: right in the bucket. And the crowd doesn't like this,
1:33:58
Speaker 1: but this is what you've got to get the points.
1:34:00
Speaker 1: It's fourth down and four.
1:34:01
Speaker 2: You're down by six. You know, go down by three.
1:34:03
Speaker 2: That's huge. Especially in this game.
1:34:06
Speaker 4: A game of of going for it.
1:34:07
Speaker 2: It's fourth and five. It's not fourth and two, fourth
1:34:09
Speaker 2: and one. So you got to take the points here.
1:34:11
Speaker 2: Easy points for Dylan Curtis. This gets him ready for
1:34:14
Speaker 2: the end of the game as well.
1:34:15
Speaker 1: Another drop by a Utah wide receiver, though. Cost him
1:34:18
Speaker 1: a touchdown right there. This will be a 29-yard attempt
1:34:21
Speaker 1: for Dylan Curtis. Out of the hold of Orion Phillips.
1:34:24
Speaker 1: Low snap. The kick is up, and the kick is
1:34:27
Speaker 1: no good. Oh, my goodness. It was a low snap.
1:34:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, the holder didn't get a good snap right there.
1:34:35
Speaker 1: Or didn't get a good.
1:34:36
Speaker 2: Hold right there.
1:34:36
Speaker 1: They missed the chip shot field goal, and they remain
1:34:39
Speaker 1: down six. 8.47 to play in the ball game. Utah
1:34:42
Speaker 1: trails 20-14. A missed opportunity again by the Utes, and
1:34:46
Speaker 1: BYU will get it back right here from ESPN 700
1:34:49
Speaker 1: and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
1:34:51
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Pepsi
1:34:54
Speaker 7: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
1:34:58
Speaker 1: Well, that drive went longer than two minutes, but they
1:35:01
Speaker 1: miss a field goal, a low snap, a bad hold,
1:35:04
Speaker 1: and Dylan Curtis missed the field goal. And it remains
1:35:08
Speaker 1: 20-14 with 8.47 to play almost midway through this third quarter.
1:35:12
Speaker 1: A second half being brought to you by KSL. Better news,
1:35:14
Speaker 1: better weather, better classifieds all built right here in Utah.
1:35:17
Speaker 1: Go Utes. Well, they forced a couple of Bachmeier turnovers,
1:35:20
Speaker 1: but they haven't been able to make either one of
1:35:22
Speaker 1: those pay off yet.
1:35:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what's crazy is these rivalry games, what
1:35:27
Speaker 2: you know your team to be and do, Just the
1:35:31
Speaker 2: weirdest things happen. And yeah, you've got to score off
1:35:33
Speaker 2: turnovers and miss field goal right there. That's huge. But
1:35:37
Speaker 2: this defense has to step up. I think they found
1:35:39
Speaker 2: something ever since the Bobo Chenault interception. They've got two
1:35:43
Speaker 2: turnovers now. They've got to continue to make that happen.
1:35:46
Speaker 1: First and 10 BYU with their own 20 LJ Martin.
1:35:48
Speaker 1: The tailback with Bachmeier in the shotgun. First down handoff, L.J.
1:35:55
Speaker 4: Martin.
1:35:55
Speaker 1: He'll be wrapped up and driven backwards at the line
1:35:57
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Lucas Samsula led the charge that time for Utah.
1:36:01
Speaker 1: Be second down and about ten and a half. He
1:36:03
Speaker 1: lost about half a yard.
1:36:04
Speaker 2: Great penetration by Lucas Samsula right there. Pushing the guard
1:36:07
Speaker 2: all the way back into L.J.
1:36:08
Speaker 4: 's lap.
1:36:09
Speaker 1: L.J.
1:36:09
Speaker 2: Likes to cut that right off that backside. But Lucas
1:36:13
Speaker 2: throws his guy into his gap. So you got two
1:36:15
Speaker 2: guys on the outside.
1:36:16
Speaker 1: T.F.
1:36:16
Speaker 3: Hill.
1:36:17
Speaker 1: Utah's got to find a way to pressure Bachmeier too.
1:36:19
Speaker 1: Second down and almost 11. Martin and the pistol. Now
1:36:21
Speaker 1: he comes to the right side of Bachmeier. Bachmeier hands
1:36:27
Speaker 1: it off again. L.J. Martin breaks one tackle, but not another.
1:36:30
Speaker 1: Trey Reynolds drives it backwards at the 20-yard line. Another
1:36:33
Speaker 1: great stop by Reynolds. Third down and long coming up
1:36:36
Speaker 1: here for the Cougars with eight minutes to play in
1:36:38
Speaker 1: the third.
1:36:39
Speaker 2: That's what we were talking about in the pregame show.
1:36:42
Speaker 2: Physical tackling right there. If he's coming into this game hurt,
1:36:46
Speaker 2: you've got to put the pressure on his legs. That's
1:36:48
Speaker 2: a great physical tackle by number 10, Trey Reynolds.
1:36:51
Speaker 1: Bachmeier, 17 of 23, 245, a touchdown and two picks today. Cougars,
1:36:56
Speaker 1: 5 out of 9 on third down. They have a
1:36:58
Speaker 1: third down and 10 here from their own 20. Keep
1:37:02
Speaker 1: an eye on Lyons, the tight end. He's been big today. Also,
1:37:05
Speaker 1: Bachmeier's legs. Utah showing pressure on third down and 10.
1:37:09
Speaker 1: Here they come on Bear. Pressure coming, hit as he throws,
1:37:13
Speaker 1: up the field and incomplete. They drilled him, Rabbit Evans.
1:37:18
Speaker 1: They were looking for Kyler Casper. Incomplete. That's a three
1:37:21
Speaker 1: and out. A great stop. Maybe the best of the
1:37:23
Speaker 1: day by the Utah defense.
1:37:24
Speaker 2: One more second. One more half a second right there.
1:37:27
Speaker 2: And that's a Houston type of sack right there for
1:37:29
Speaker 2: Rabbit Evans. Oh, so close. He almost got Bear Bachmeier.
1:37:33
Speaker 2: And that would have been a turnover. And that ball
1:37:35
Speaker 2: would have rolled into the end zone. It would have
1:37:36
Speaker 2: been a defensive touchdown.
1:37:38
Speaker 1: So the Utah defense comes up with a stop. Monte
1:37:40
Speaker 1: Carvalho at his own 35. Fuller shirts the punter. A
1:37:44
Speaker 1: punt from inside of his own 10-yard line. Church's kick
1:37:49
Speaker 1: is almost blocked. It's a short kick. Carvalho's going to
1:37:52
Speaker 1: let that ball hit. It takes a Utah bounce. BYU
1:37:56
Speaker 1: finally kills it at the Utah 47-yard line. 33-yard punt,
1:38:00
Speaker 1: no return. Timeout on the field. Another great set of
1:38:03
Speaker 1: starting field position for the Utes. They've got to get
1:38:05
Speaker 1: some offense and got to get some points. They trail 20-14.
1:38:07
Speaker 1: Our second half being brought to you by Bamboo HR.
1:38:11
Speaker 1: And this timeout brought to you by Bamboo HR. Putting
1:38:13
Speaker 1: your people in position to win, Bamboo HR, an official
1:38:16
Speaker 1: partner of Utah Athletics. From the Big O' Tires broadcast booth,

Speaker 1: this is Utah football from ESPN 700 in the Utes 4.
1:38:26
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah football, brought to you by Big
1:38:29
Speaker 7: old tires on ESPN 700 and the youth sports network.
1:38:34

Speaker 1: Find them online at U of U health.org slash youths.
1:38:45
Speaker 1: Let's go down to the sideline and hear from Zach Moss. Zach,
1:38:48
Speaker 1: The running game really has been non-existent in this ball
1:38:51
Speaker 1: game for Utah. Do they need to try to get
1:38:52
Speaker 1: back to it?
1:38:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got a lot of time to get back
1:38:55
Speaker 3: into the run game, man.
1:38:56
Speaker 2: It's a six-point game, one-score game.
1:38:59
Speaker 4: You don't have to abandon nothing.
1:39:00
Speaker 2: That you want to do, right?
1:39:01
Speaker 3: We talked about in the pregame, trying to be as
1:39:03
Speaker 3: balanced as possible. Right now, it's been really, really one-dimensional.
1:39:06
Speaker 3: Got to get number one going. Got to get Daniel
1:39:08
Speaker 3: Bray going. Even number four, got to get going in
1:39:10
Speaker 3: this run game.
1:39:11
Speaker 1: Daniel Bray has... Thank you, Zach, for that sideline update
1:39:13
Speaker 1: brought to you by Ken Garf. We hear you. Daniel
1:39:15
Speaker 1: Bray's got one touch today. One pop pass for six yards.
1:39:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was so effective in the game last year,
1:39:20
Speaker 2: and that's something that this team can't really guard against.
1:39:24
Speaker 2: You know, that speed, that acceleration is something that we
1:39:27
Speaker 2: have to utilize in this game.
1:39:29
Speaker 1: Best starting field position of the day for Utah. They're
1:39:32
Speaker 1: on 47 this time. They started at their own 46
1:39:34
Speaker 1: last time, first and 10. Hand off straight ahead, Wayshawn Parker.
1:39:38
Speaker 1: He picks up three yards out to midfield. The 50
1:39:40
Speaker 1: got tackled around his neck that time after a three-yard gain.
1:39:44
Speaker 2: That's a good gain right there, right up the middle.
1:39:46
Speaker 2: Tough yardage. They had it blocked up. A good way
1:39:48
Speaker 2: to accelerate through the hole by Wayshon Parker and pick
1:39:51
Speaker 2: up three yards.
1:39:52
Speaker 1: Clock running at 6.55 to play here in the third.
1:39:55
Speaker 1: BYU 20, Utah 14. Second down and seven for midfield.
1:40:01
Speaker 1: Parker stays in the ballgame. Devin in the shotgun. Move
1:40:05
Speaker 1: the Rhino backs to the left-hand side for Utah. Devin
1:40:09
Speaker 1: moves a man in motion now across the formation. Hands
1:40:12
Speaker 1: it again. Wayshawn Parker to the outside. Wayshawn's got the 45,
1:40:15
Speaker 1: the 44. Very close to first down yardage. They're going
1:40:19
Speaker 1: to mark him down about a yard shy at the
1:40:21
Speaker 1: 44 yard line. Needed the 43. Jake Clifton, rover back
1:40:24
Speaker 1: for BYU, made the tackle.
1:40:27
Speaker 2: They need to tempo this Rhino package, but they're going
1:40:29
Speaker 2: to substitute here. Third down and short right here.
1:40:32
Speaker 1: We really haven't seen much tempo this afternoon, have we?
1:40:34
Speaker 2: And for me, that's our team. That gets us in rhythm.
1:40:37
Speaker 2: That Keeps the defense off balance and with the plethora
1:40:41
Speaker 2: of talent, no huddle and tempo kills it.
1:40:44
Speaker 1: Utah, third down today, three for ten. That handoff straight ahead,
1:40:49
Speaker 1: and that's going to be Wayshawn Parker out of the Wildcat,
1:40:52
Speaker 1: pushing the pile and picking up two for an Ivory
1:40:54
Speaker 1: Holmes first down.
1:40:56
Speaker 2: Effort, effort. They make contact at the line of scrimmage,
1:40:59
Speaker 2: behind the line of scrimmage, but the legs, the strength
1:41:01
Speaker 2: of Wayshawn Parker, that offseason training came into play on
1:41:05
Speaker 2: that right there. Great job by Wayshawn Parker. Extending this drive.
1:41:08
Speaker 1: Way Sean gets a break on this play Hunter Andrews
1:41:10
Speaker 1: will be to the back of the backfield this time
1:41:12
Speaker 1: with Devin Dampier first intent for the BYU 42 yard
1:41:15
Speaker 1: line five and a half to play here in the
1:41:17
Speaker 1: third quarter BYU late on the sub here now they
1:41:20
Speaker 1: get their personnel on the field. Devin operating out of
1:41:23
Speaker 1: the shotgun. BYU with fourth the line of scrimmage. They
1:41:26
Speaker 1: bring a man in motion. That's going to be a
1:41:28
Speaker 1: play action role for Devin. He's going to step up
1:41:30
Speaker 1: away from the pressure and he's going to go. 35, 30,
1:41:33
Speaker 1: down to the 25 and spins to the 24 yard
1:41:35
Speaker 1: line does Devin Dampier. That's a pick of 18 yards.
1:41:39
Speaker 1: And an Ivory Holmes first down. Let's see if Utah
1:41:41
Speaker 1: goes with tempo here.
1:41:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't, but that's a great play by Devin
1:41:45
Speaker 2: Depp here. I tell you, he's got to get his legs.
1:41:47
Speaker 2: His legs got to be effective in this game here.
1:41:50
Speaker 2: Now you're bringing Bird Ficklin back in. I love this play.
1:41:53
Speaker 2: I'd run regular offense with Bird Ficklin. Have him motion
1:41:55
Speaker 2: in the backfield and have the defense think it's going
1:41:58
Speaker 2: to be a wildcat play and then run a one-on-one
1:42:01
Speaker 2: on the outside. We know he can throw the ball.
1:42:02
Speaker 1: They've got man coverage to the bottom of the formation
1:42:05
Speaker 1: here with Ricky Johnson if they want to throw toward
1:42:06
Speaker 1: the end zone. Here comes Spickman in motion on first
1:42:09
Speaker 1: down and 10. Devin going to keep it himself and
1:42:11
Speaker 1: be tackled behind the line of scrimmage. Keanu Tanavasa got him.
1:42:15
Speaker 1: That's the seventh tackle for loss today by BYU, and
1:42:19
Speaker 1: it's going to be second down and 11 now.
1:42:22
Speaker 2: Just a great job by Keanu Tanavasa getting into that gap.
1:42:25
Speaker 2: That's a play like normally they have an RPO run
1:42:27
Speaker 2: off of that, but it's a developing play right there
1:42:30
Speaker 2: because you've got to have pulling guards right there, and
1:42:32
Speaker 2: Keanu Tanavasa beats the tackle inside and makes the TFL
1:42:36
Speaker 2: on Devin Depp here.
1:42:37
Speaker 1: Second down at 11 at the BYU 25-yard line. Clock
1:42:40
Speaker 1: running with 4.09 to play here in the third quarter.
1:42:43
Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker splits wide to the right-hand side. Nobody
1:42:46
Speaker 1: out there on him right now. Devin by himself in
1:42:48
Speaker 1: the shotgun. Two tights and three wide receivers in this
1:42:51
Speaker 1: formation for Utah. Devin, going to pass. Throws to the outside.
1:42:55
Speaker 1: Caught there, but not much of a gain to Creed Whittemore.
1:42:59
Speaker 1: That ball was down and away and low from him.
1:43:02
Speaker 1: Get him to about the 21. Third down and We'll
1:43:05
Speaker 1: call it about seven, maybe eight yards coming up here
1:43:07
Speaker 1: for the Utes.
1:43:08
Speaker 2: I really love these plays right here. You do a
1:43:11
Speaker 2: slot corner route right there. We get a one-on-one. Ricky
1:43:15
Speaker 2: Johnson won. You kind of got to try that in
1:43:17
Speaker 2: the back of the end zone right there. See who
1:43:19
Speaker 2: comes up with that play.
1:43:20
Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker, the tailback, third down and seven. Utah one
1:43:23
Speaker 1: for one on third downs on this drive. Four of
1:43:25
Speaker 1: 11 this afternoon. BYU showing pressure on this third down
1:43:28
Speaker 1: and long. Devon's going to backpedal. Here comes the pressure.
1:43:31
Speaker 1: Stepping away. Avoids it. Looking down the field. And running
1:43:35
Speaker 1: down the field. 15, 12-yard line. First down, Devon Dampier.
1:43:41
Speaker 1: He made something out of nothing. And it's a first
1:43:45
Speaker 1: down and 10 at the BYU 12-yard line.
1:43:47
Speaker 2: That type of play, that should have been a sack.
1:43:50
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, did they have an opening on that?
1:43:52
Speaker 2: But the elite play, your playmakers, your guys stepping in
1:43:56
Speaker 2: here and making things happen right there. David Dampier, extra
1:44:00
Speaker 2: effort plays. That's what we talk about right there. That
1:44:02
Speaker 2: made that happen, extends this drive. Now you've got to
1:44:04
Speaker 2: pay it off with some points in the red zone.
1:44:06
Speaker 1: Second trip in the Canyonview Credit Union red zone today
1:44:09
Speaker 1: for Utah. First and ten for the BYU 12. Full
1:44:12
Speaker 1: house backfield. Got a rhino back. Dampier, Bray, and Wayshawn
1:44:16
Speaker 1: Parker on first down. High snap. They hand the ball
1:44:19
Speaker 1: to Parker. Weishan is dropped. He doesn't look right right now, Sly.
1:44:24
Speaker 1: There's no burst right now from Weishan Parker. There was
1:44:26
Speaker 1: nowhere to run, but no burst. He loses two.
1:44:28
Speaker 2: That penetration doesn't allow you to get burst, right? That
1:44:31
Speaker 2: penetration to a great knockback right there by Braxton Lindsey
1:44:35
Speaker 2: on that side right there just ruins the blocks in
1:44:37
Speaker 2: the backfield. Our blockers got to move forward. You got
1:44:40
Speaker 2: to blow dudes up right there and allow Weishan to
1:44:42
Speaker 2: get some acceleration there.
1:44:45
Speaker 1: Second down and 12 back at the BYU 14 yard line.
1:44:47
Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker stays in the ball game with Devin Dampier.
1:44:52
Speaker 1: Back to pass is Devin looking and serving. Throwing toward
1:44:56
Speaker 1: the end zone. It's up. It's caught. Touchdown! Brace Pagan!
1:45:01
Speaker 1: He beat the corner to the back pylon. And it's
1:45:05
Speaker 1: a touchdown for Utah.
1:45:13
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. You see the cat blitz? way sean
1:45:15
Speaker 2: parker knocked him out out he was so that's great
1:45:20
Speaker 2: blitz pickup way sean parker does that better that right
1:45:23
Speaker 2: there i'm putting on the first play of my nfl
1:45:25
Speaker 2: tape way sean parker knocked him out allowed devin dampier
1:45:28
Speaker 2: to have that time with his back to that side
1:45:31
Speaker 2: back to the blitz right there but great blitz pickup
1:45:34
Speaker 2: right there by uh by way sean parker and even
1:45:37
Speaker 2: better hands right there by brady pagan with the pass
1:45:39
Speaker 2: over the shoulder Oh, that was beautiful. You know the
1:45:42
Speaker 2: sun is in the eyes right there. So catching it
1:45:45
Speaker 2: over the top right there allowed the sun to get
1:45:47
Speaker 2: out of your face and make a touchdown right there.
1:45:49
Speaker 2: Watch this blitz pick up right here. Watch this. This
1:45:53
Speaker 2: is great.
1:45:53
Speaker 1: They bring a cat blitz.
1:45:55
Speaker 2: Get out of here, boy. It's fade route on the
1:45:58
Speaker 2: outside right there. Catches it over the top. Doesn't allow
1:46:00
Speaker 2: the sun to get in your eyes. Great throw. Great catch.
1:46:05
Speaker 2: Utes back up on top.
1:46:06
Speaker 1: Well, not yet. They've got to get the PAT first,
1:46:09
Speaker 1: and we've seen recently that could be an adventure. Therian Alexander,
1:46:12
Speaker 1: the injured BYU Cougar in the end zone, he had
1:46:14
Speaker 1: the coverage on Pegg, and I think he landed awkwardly
1:46:16
Speaker 1: on top of Pegg. It may have knocked the wind
1:46:18
Speaker 1: out of him.
1:46:20
Speaker 2: He looks like he'll be able to come back.
1:46:21
Speaker 1: He's coming out on his own power. Utah will attempt
1:46:24
Speaker 1: the PAT here and try and go up 21-20 with
1:46:27
Speaker 1: a minute 50 to play here in the third quarter.
1:46:29
Speaker 1: That touchdown, a Pepsi touchdown, paying off a nine-play 53-yard
1:46:33
Speaker 1: drive Second touchdown catch today for Braden Pagan. Second touchdown
1:46:37
Speaker 1: pass today for Devin Dampier. And Dylan Curtis going to
1:46:42
Speaker 1: try and put Utah in the lead. And a chip
1:46:45
Speaker 1: shot field goal from about this distance that he missed
1:46:47
Speaker 1: because of a bad snap and a bad hold moments ago.
1:46:50
Speaker 1: This one better. And he executes this. Utah leads it
1:46:54
Speaker 1: with a minute 50 to play here in the third quarter.
1:46:56
Speaker 1: Timeout on the field. Our first half ball game today.

1:47:10

1:47:38
Speaker 1: like about that drive?
1:47:40
Speaker 3: That was all damn pure, man. That was all Devin.
1:47:42
Speaker 3: Absolutely just willpower to make that drive happen. Threw a
1:47:46
Speaker 3: beautiful ball in the back corner of that end zone there.
1:47:49
Speaker 3: And we finally came down with one, so... That's the
1:47:52
Speaker 3: recipe right now. Keep finding ways to make plays. Keep
1:47:54
Speaker 3: finding ways, right? That was the message at halftime.
1:47:56
Speaker 2: Find a way. Find a way.
1:47:58
Speaker 1: So far, they have. Minute 50 to play here in
1:48:00
Speaker 1: the third. 21-20 Utah. Sideline update brought to you by
1:48:04
Speaker 1: Ken Garf. We hear you. Devon's thrown two really good
1:48:10
Speaker 1: red zone passes this second half. One was dropped by
1:48:13
Speaker 1: Creed Whittemore. Would have been a touchdown. That one by
1:48:15
Speaker 1: Braden Pagan looking back into the sun. Excellent grab. Yeah, man.
1:48:18
Speaker 2: And it's awesome. It's awesome. We know this team to
1:48:22
Speaker 2: be dynamic. The things that were going wrong in that
1:48:24
Speaker 2: first half were like, we know you guys are better
1:48:26
Speaker 2: than that. But those are the things that happen in
1:48:28
Speaker 2: rivalry games.
1:48:29
Speaker 4: You have to be.
1:48:30
Speaker 2: Intently focused on every single possession every single play every
1:48:34
Speaker 2: single catch You got to go back to the basics
1:48:37
Speaker 2: and make sure that you're going through your one two
1:48:38
Speaker 2: threes But great job by Devin damp here great job
1:48:41
Speaker 2: by this offense Great catch by Brady.
1:48:44
Speaker 1: Pagan Dylan Curtis has it teed up at his own
1:48:47
Speaker 1: 35-yard line Cannon DeVries back deep to receive this kick.
1:48:50
Speaker 1: Will he bring it out? He will not be first
1:48:53
Speaker 1: intent for the Cougars bear Bachmeier Tell you what, the
1:48:56
Speaker 1: Utah defense got better, Sly. The last five possessions for BYU. Punt, interception,
1:49:02
Speaker 1: end of half. Interception and punt. Another big stop here
1:49:06
Speaker 1: by the Utah defense. Could be huge for momentum going
1:49:09
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter.
1:49:10
Speaker 2: That's exactly what you need. Momentum is everything in rivalry games.
1:49:13
Speaker 2: It can go up, it can go down. Just as
1:49:15
Speaker 2: fast as you get it, it can be taken away.
1:49:17
Speaker 2: Got to be laser focused here.
1:49:19
Speaker 1: Three receivers. Moa in the backfield with Bachmeier on first
1:49:22
Speaker 1: and ten. Crowd back in it for the first time
1:49:24
Speaker 1: in a minute here. And Rice-Eccles Stadium. Play action pass.
1:49:28
Speaker 1: The roll over the middle. He's got Walker. Lions. And
1:49:30
Speaker 1: he dropped it. Oh, Lions had running room, too. Ball
1:49:33
Speaker 1: a little behind him with the pressure coming on Bear Bachmeier.
1:49:36
Speaker 1: And he dropped it at the 30-yard line.
1:49:37
Speaker 2: I actually really liked the coverage on that right there.
1:49:40
Speaker 2: He had Nate Richard come down. He saw it. Elijah Ellis,
1:49:44
Speaker 2: you know, he's one speedy linebacker. There wasn't much yak
1:49:47
Speaker 2: yards he would have got after that.
1:49:49
Speaker 1: Second down and 10 at the 25 for BYU. It
1:49:51
Speaker 1: would be a.
1:49:52
Speaker 2: Great time for a sack, wouldn't it?
1:49:54
Speaker 1: Be the first of the day if they got it.
1:49:57
Speaker 1: Minute 46 to play here on the third. Glasker comes
1:49:59
Speaker 1: in motion. Bachmeier to pass. In cut route. Caught. JoJo Phillips.
1:50:05
Speaker 1: Great grab. Out beyond the 30 to the 32 yard
1:50:08
Speaker 1: line for a gain of seven. Third down and three
1:50:10
Speaker 1: coming up. Jackson Betty had the coverage. That was just
1:50:12
Speaker 1: a good throw.
1:50:14
Speaker 2: The coverage, I don't know what they're doing. They get
1:50:15
Speaker 2: the motion over. We get the combo coverage. Jackson goes
1:50:19
Speaker 2: to the outside. You already have a guy on the outside.
1:50:21
Speaker 2: You got to split that away from the quarterback.
1:50:24
Speaker 6: It's under further review.
1:50:27
Speaker 2: Oh. That came from up top.
1:50:31
Speaker 1: Yes, it did. Oh, yeah.
1:50:33
Speaker 2: He might have chopped that in the ground.
1:50:35
Speaker 1: We'll see. This play under review. We didn't get the review,
1:50:40
Speaker 1: but we weren't told at halftime. That ball we thought
1:50:42
Speaker 1: was in a... The ball we thought was an interception
1:50:46
Speaker 1: by Scooby Davis was not. Let's see this ball. Does
1:50:50
Speaker 1: he hold on to it? No, I think that's a catch.
1:50:52
Speaker 2: I would call it a catch. The ball touched the ground.
1:50:54
Speaker 1: But he had possession.
1:50:57
Speaker 2: So, to me, I call that a catch. But, hey,
1:51:00
Speaker 2: this is any given Saturday.
1:51:02
Speaker 1: I think that's a catch.
1:51:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:51:04
Speaker 1: I think he had both hands. The ball hits the ground,
1:51:06
Speaker 1: but both hands were surrounding it when he hit it.
1:51:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had control of it, and to me, he
1:51:11
Speaker 2: survived the ground.
1:51:11
Speaker 1: But, look.
1:51:12
Speaker 2: Does the ball move a little bit? Do you give it? Again,
1:51:15
Speaker 2: I'd love an incomplete pass.
1:51:17
Speaker 1: Oh, I would too.
1:51:18
Speaker 2: But to me, that looked like a catch.
1:51:20
Speaker 1: Third and ten's a lot better than third and three. Oh,
1:51:22
Speaker 1: for sure. We'll see what the officiating crew, headed up
1:51:27
Speaker 1: by Michael Vandervelde, tells us. But that review was initiated
1:51:30
Speaker 1: from up top today. See how this one goes. Minute
1:51:36
Speaker 1: 25 to play. Third quarter, 21-20, Utah leading BYU. Of
1:51:39
Speaker 1: course it's a one-score game. It's the rivalry game. Of
1:51:42
Speaker 1: course it's a one-score game.
1:51:43
Speaker 2: It's a lot higher scoring than I thought it was
1:51:44
Speaker 2: going to be. I thought it was going to be
1:51:46
Speaker 2: like a 10-17 type game.
1:51:47
Speaker 1: Really?
1:51:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, but, like, it's good. With this call, it could
1:51:51
Speaker 2: go either way. I could find a case of why
1:51:53
Speaker 2: you could call it an incomplete, and I could find
1:51:55
Speaker 2: a case of why you can call it complete.
1:51:56
Speaker 1: Well, it was called a catch on the field, so...
1:51:59
Speaker 1: This does give both teams a little bit of a
1:52:00
Speaker 1: timeout here. It gives you a chance to catch your breath.
1:52:03
Speaker 1: Third down and short.
1:52:04
Speaker 2: Third down and short is where the blue guys live.
1:52:06
Speaker 2: So it's an opportunity for Colton Swan, Morgan Scali to
1:52:10
Speaker 2: remind these guys what plays you can see on third
1:52:13
Speaker 2: down and short. Where do your eyes have to be
1:52:15
Speaker 2: on the back end?
1:52:16
Speaker 1: Here's the call from the referee.
1:52:17
Speaker 4: After review, the receiver did not complete the process of
1:52:20
Speaker 4: the catch.
1:52:20
Speaker 1: It's an incomplete pass.
1:52:22
Speaker 2: It'll be third down.
1:52:25
Speaker 1: So third down and 10 instead of third down and
1:52:27
Speaker 1: three here for BYU. It looked in real time like
1:52:29
Speaker 1: a really nice catch from JoJo Phillips, but the ball
1:52:32
Speaker 1: just hit the ground, didn't complete it. So third down
1:52:34
Speaker 1: and 10. And a chance for the crowd to impact
1:52:36
Speaker 1: this game in the north end zone. BYU from their
1:52:39
Speaker 1: own 25-yard line. They're 5 of 10 on third down.
1:52:42
Speaker 1: They're 1 for 2 here in the second half.
1:52:44
Speaker 2: North end zone's got to get loud now.
1:52:47
Speaker 1: Three receivers in the pattern here for the BYU Cougars.
1:52:50
Speaker 1: Sione Moore with a tailback. Keep an eye on the
1:52:53
Speaker 1: tight end, Walker Lyons. He's been big today. Here comes
1:52:58
Speaker 1: Phillips in motion. Bachmeier to pass. Pressure off the edge.
1:53:01
Speaker 1: Bachmeier hit as he throws.
1:53:03
Speaker 2: Incomplete.
1:53:04
Speaker 1: Oh, they heated him up. Legend Glasker was the intended receiver.
1:53:09
Speaker 1: Bachmeier never had a chance. The pressure off the edge
1:53:12
Speaker 1: from Rabbit Evans. Nearly got home. Ethan Day was there
1:53:16
Speaker 1: as well.
1:53:17
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what a creative blitz. I really need
1:53:19
Speaker 2: to see the replay on this because this was beautiful.
1:53:22
Speaker 2: I don't think I ever called this one. This came heavy.
1:53:25
Speaker 2: Heavy right side pressure right there. Way too many guys
1:53:27
Speaker 2: within the block.
1:53:28
Speaker 1: Here we go. Punk team out for BYU. Mata Carvalho
1:53:31
Speaker 1: at his own 30. Schertz has been pretty good today
1:53:34
Speaker 1: for the BYU Cougars punting the football. He'll rugby it
1:53:37
Speaker 1: to the right. Get it away. Mana will take it
1:53:41
Speaker 1: at about the 29. Mana Carvalho to about the 33-yard
1:53:46
Speaker 1: line he goes. About a four-yard return on that. And
1:53:48
Speaker 1: with a minute 10 to play here in the third,
1:53:50
Speaker 1: Utah will get the football back. Here's Bachmeier's numbers right now, Sly.
1:53:54
Speaker 1: He was 15 of 20 for 2-11. A pick and
1:53:56
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the first half. This half, two of
1:53:58
Speaker 1: seven and a pick.
1:53:59
Speaker 2: That's good defense right there. That's what this game is
1:54:01
Speaker 2: all about, is good defense. Defense is feeling themselves right now.
1:54:04
Speaker 2: But again, good or bad, forget about the last plays,
1:54:08
Speaker 2: the last series. You've got to continue on and be
1:54:10
Speaker 2: extremely present and continue to apply pressure to your opponent.
1:54:14
Speaker 1: Larry Simmons, Brayton.
1:54:15
Speaker 2: That was a very short drive for the blue guys.
1:54:19
Speaker 1: About 40 seconds all told. Dampier on the shotgun. Wayshawn
1:54:23
Speaker 1: Parker next to him. Two tights and two wides here
1:54:25
Speaker 1: for Utah on first and ten from their own 32. Motion,
1:54:29
Speaker 1: Hunter Andrews. Devin Dampier is going to keep it 35, 37,
1:54:32
Speaker 1: 38 yard line. It'll be a gain of six on
1:54:36
Speaker 1: first down for Devin Dampier. Nothing wrong with six yards
1:54:39
Speaker 1: on first down. Not at all. Not at all.
1:54:41
Speaker 2: Opens the playbook to a lot of things. But again,
1:54:42
Speaker 2: you're getting back to the running game right here. It's
1:54:44
Speaker 2: got to be Devin Dampier. What do we got to
1:54:46
Speaker 2: do to make these things happen right here? Devin Dampier
1:54:49
Speaker 2: making great decisions. Pulls that ball right there. Keeps it.
1:54:52
Speaker 2: Hunter Andrews was covered. Protect that ball two hands on.
1:54:55
Speaker 2: Get six yards on first down.
1:54:56
Speaker 1: Devins now run for 54 yards and a touchdown today.
1:54:59
Speaker 1: Second down in six. 35 seconds to play the clock
1:55:03
Speaker 1: running here in the third quarter. Parker the tailback semi
1:55:06
Speaker 1: Talanga comes in motion handed off the way Sean Parker
1:55:09
Speaker 1: and flags fly. I think semi turned up field too quick.
1:55:16
Speaker 4: False start number 74 offense 5 yard penalty. Second down.
1:55:21
Speaker 1: That was actually Keith Olsen, the right guard, who moved.
1:55:24
Speaker 1: I thought Semmy may have turned. When Semmy turns upfield,
1:55:27
Speaker 1: you know it, but they got Keith Olsen instead.
1:55:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, Keith flinches a little bit a couple times. That
1:55:33
Speaker 2: would have been a huge play because that would have
1:55:35
Speaker 2: been Wayshon Parker one-on-one with Isaiah Glasker. He's been leaky
1:55:38
Speaker 2: the last few weeks. He makes Isaiah Glasker miss. That's
1:55:41
Speaker 2: another 60-yard touchdown for Wayshon Parker.
1:55:43
Speaker 1: Second Utah penalty brought to you by Ann Collier, Utah's
1:55:45
Speaker 1: number one shirt. Back to the 33-yard line. Second down
1:55:50
Speaker 1: and nine. Parker out of the backfield. Devon looking to throw.
1:55:53
Speaker 1: Pumps once. Now he's going to run it. And he's
1:55:54
Speaker 1: got running room 40, 45, 50, 45, 40. And out
1:55:58
Speaker 1: of bounds.
1:55:59
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a flag. They hit him late out of bounds.
1:56:04
Speaker 1: Volatile Satuola with a cheap shot. And they're going to
1:56:08
Speaker 1: tack 15 yards on to the end of this run.
1:56:11
Speaker 1: He was knocked out of the BYU 37, tacked 15
1:56:13
Speaker 1: more on for the cheap shot from Satoala.
1:56:17
Speaker 2: As I said, I got PTSD on that sideline right there.
1:56:20
Speaker 2: I'm glad Devin came out of that. That's just an
1:56:23
Speaker 2: unnecessary play by Faletel Satoala. He did not even need
1:56:27
Speaker 2: to touch him. Devin's clearly going out of bounds. He
1:56:29
Speaker 2: got a big chunk play. Do not go around. Don't
1:56:31
Speaker 2: touch the quarterback. There's so many rules to protect the quarterback.
1:56:34
Speaker 2: You do not need to be around the quarterback.
1:56:36
Speaker 4: After the play is over, personal foul, unnecessary, roughness, late
1:56:38
Speaker 4: hit out of balance. Number 11 defense. 15-yard penalty to be.
1:56:42
Speaker 2: Added to the end of the run. First down.
1:56:47
Speaker 4: That's the end of the third quarter.
1:56:49
Speaker 1: So to the end of the third quarter, we go
1:56:51
Speaker 1: here at Rice-Eccles Stadium in another tight rivalry game. Utah
1:56:56
Speaker 1: will have it first and 10 at the BYU 22
1:56:58
Speaker 1: when we get back. Three quarters in the books, one
1:57:03
Speaker 1: to play on this Saturday, a rivalry Saturday. It's Utah
1:57:06
Speaker 1: 21 and BYU 20. And this is Utah football from
1:57:09
Speaker 1: ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
1:57:14
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
1:57:17
Speaker 7: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
1:57:23
Speaker 1: Back at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Rivalry game rarely disappoints, and this
1:57:28
Speaker 1: one hasn't either. 21-20 Utah as we go to the
1:57:30
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Bill Riley, Stevenson, Sylvester, and Zach Moss with
1:57:35
Speaker 1: you here. Third quarter numbers all Utah. 133 yards for
1:57:38
Speaker 1: the Utes, 39 for BYU, 68 on the ground, 65
1:57:40
Speaker 1: through the air for Utah, 5 on the ground, 34
1:57:42
Speaker 1: through the air for the BYU Cougars. Utah ran 18 plays,
1:57:47
Speaker 1: BYU ran 10. And as we begin the fourth quarter,
1:57:50
Speaker 1: after that personal foul on Satuwala, The ball will be
1:57:53
Speaker 1: marked at the BYU 22-yard line, first and 10, Utah.
1:57:56
Speaker 1: This is huge for the Utes right now, Sly.
1:58:01
Speaker 2: I feel like, I don't know, where was the penalty yards?
1:58:04
Speaker 2: Where did Devin step up?
1:58:05
Speaker 1: About the 37. It's 15 yards.
1:58:07
Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
1:58:08
Speaker 2: I know I'm not the mathematician here.
1:58:10
Speaker 7: I know.
1:58:10
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get every yardage.
1:58:12
Speaker 1: Math on the fly is hard, I understand.
1:58:15
Speaker 2: Well, they flipped the field.
1:58:16
Speaker 1: That's why we've got Spadafore here.
1:58:17
Speaker 2: We flipped the field. That's why I'm a little confused here. But, yeah,
1:58:22
Speaker 2: we've got to pay this off. They're cooking with gas. But, again,
1:58:25
Speaker 2: it's about being present and focused on each and every play.
1:58:28
Speaker 2: Forget about the successes and the failures from the quarters before.
1:58:31
Speaker 2: This fourth quarter is huge. Must has to get loud.
1:58:35
Speaker 2: North End zone has to get loud when the blue
1:58:37
Speaker 2: guys have the ball.
1:58:37
Speaker 1: First and 10, Utah at the 22. Devin Dampier, 84
1:58:41
Speaker 1: yards rushing and a touchdown. 177 through the air and
1:58:45
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He's got Wayshon Parker and the pistol behind him.
1:58:50
Speaker 1: Two receivers, two tight ends for Utah for the BYU
1:58:53
Speaker 1: 22-yard line. Semita Longa comes in motion to hand the
1:58:58
Speaker 1: ball to Wayshawn Parker. Scorch through a hole at the
1:59:00
Speaker 1: 20 and gets to about the 18-yard line for a
1:59:02
Speaker 1: gain of four. Nothing wrong with a four-yard gain. Into
1:59:05
Speaker 1: the Canyon View Credit Union red zone go the Utes.
1:59:08
Speaker 1: Second down and six coming up.
1:59:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Wayshawn Parker's going to be huge in his
1:59:12
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. Getting him the ball, getting him rhythm, making
1:59:15
Speaker 2: sure that he's included in this offense in any capacity
1:59:17
Speaker 2: from the receiving game. Rushing game's going to be vital.
1:59:20
Speaker 2: His blitz pickup is huge. It's a lot of different
1:59:24
Speaker 2: things here, but we've got to score in the red zone.
1:59:26
Speaker 1: Parker stays in the ball game. Three wide receivers tied
1:59:30
Speaker 1: into the left slot here for Utah on second down
1:59:32
Speaker 1: and six. Once again, it's Devin Dampier. Devin is going
1:59:36
Speaker 1: to be dropped back at the 20 yard line. They'll
1:59:38
Speaker 1: give him the 19. That's a heck of a play
1:59:41
Speaker 1: by Sock Tawala who just got flagged for the personal
1:59:43
Speaker 1: foul on Dampier. That's going to bring up third down.
1:59:46
Speaker 1: You couldn't afford really a negative play and they lose
1:59:49
Speaker 1: a yard on that play. It'll be bringing up third
1:59:51
Speaker 1: down and seven.
1:59:52
Speaker 2: It's really hard to understand when to cut it up
1:59:57
Speaker 2: field and just get what you can get versus trying
1:59:59
Speaker 2: to make some extra things happen. But follow, uh, follow
2:00:02
Speaker 2: us out to all the six foot four, 210 pounds.
2:00:04
Speaker 1: He's a load.
2:00:05
Speaker 2: He, he has a huge wingspan and it's very hard
2:00:08
Speaker 2: to get around. That's what makes him so dynamic at
2:00:09
Speaker 2: the safety position.
2:00:10
Speaker 1: I think Utah is going to have to take a
2:00:11
Speaker 1: timeout here. There's some confusion going on.
2:00:14
Speaker 2: I hope not.
2:00:15
Speaker 1: Yeah. They're, they're taking a timeout. That'll be their first
2:00:18
Speaker 1: time out of the second half at 1344.
2:00:20
Speaker 4: Utah calls their first charge timeout. Timeout on the field.
2:00:27
Speaker 4: for media.
2:00:27
Speaker 1: It's going to be a full timeout here and they'll
2:00:30
Speaker 1: talk it over with third down and seven coming up.
2:00:32
Speaker 1: For the Big O Tires broadcast booth, we've got 13
2:00:34
Speaker 1: minutes and 44 seconds to play in Utah with a
2:00:37
Speaker 1: third and seven for the BYU 19. Leading 21-20 right
2:00:41
Speaker 1: here from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
2:00:45
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah Football brought to you by Pepsi
2:00:49
Speaker 7: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
2:00:52
Speaker 1: 21-20 Utah. 13-44 to play the ball game Utah facing
2:00:57
Speaker 1: a third and seven for the BYU 19-yard line. Second
2:01:00
Speaker 1: half brought to you by University of Utah Health and
2:01:02
Speaker 1: by Budweiser. What would you like to see here on
2:01:04
Speaker 1: third down and seven slot?
2:01:06
Speaker 2: I'd like to spread them out, spread this defense out
2:01:08
Speaker 2: so it's clear if they're blitzing or not. Have your
2:01:11
Speaker 2: blitz combination off of this play, but I would get
2:01:13
Speaker 2: it all in empty. Get your dynamic player, Creed Whittemore,
2:01:17
Speaker 2: Hunter Andrews, Ricky Johnson in the slot right there and
2:01:21
Speaker 2: make a decision for the quick pass. This might even
2:01:24
Speaker 2: be two down territory. He might even be two down
2:01:26
Speaker 2: territory to apply that pressure. I love points, especially in
2:01:29
Speaker 2: a rivalry game, but we'll see what the analytics tells
2:01:32
Speaker 2: us after this third down conversion.
2:01:34
Speaker 1: Whittemore and Johnson split wide to the left-hand side. Braden
2:01:37
Speaker 1: Pagan will split wide to the right-hand side. Devin Dampier
2:01:41
Speaker 1: will be in the backfield by himself in a two-tied
2:01:43
Speaker 1: envelope here for Utah. So they are spreading the field,
2:01:45
Speaker 1: no running back on the field right now. BYU with
2:01:50
Speaker 1: three down linemen right now. We'll see if they bring
2:01:52
Speaker 1: any more pressure than that. Now they walk some people
2:01:54
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage. Devin in the shotgun takes
2:01:57
Speaker 1: the snap.
2:01:57
Speaker 2: Backpedals.
2:01:58
Speaker 1: He's looking to throw. Over the middle.
2:02:00
Speaker 2: Incomplete.
2:02:01
Speaker 1: Trying to get that ball to Braden Pegg. And there's
2:02:03
Speaker 1: the flag. That's going to be pass interference on BYU.
2:02:06
Speaker 1: Javon Williams grabbed the hold of Pagan's arm. Otherwise, that
2:02:09
Speaker 1: might have been a touchdown.
2:02:11
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about a touchdown, but the blue
2:02:13
Speaker 2: guys did a great job of being that up. They
2:02:15
Speaker 2: were looking for that wheel route initially with Creed Whittemore.
2:02:18
Speaker 2: They did a great job of covering that. Pass interference,
2:02:20
Speaker 2: number 15.
2:02:20
Speaker 4: Defense, 15-yard penalty automatic. First down.
2:02:24
Speaker 2: They did a great job of covering that and then
2:02:27
Speaker 2: coming back to Brady Pagan. I like Devin giving him
2:02:33
Speaker 2: a chance. Right, he gave him a chance to make
2:02:35
Speaker 2: a play.
2:02:36
Speaker 1: First and goal Utah for the BYU four yard line.
2:02:39
Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker, Devin Dampier. Now they're going to bring
2:02:42
Speaker 1: Brayden Pagan across the formation. Two tight ends, the Rhino
2:02:46
Speaker 1: backs move to the left hand side. BYU crowds the
2:02:49
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Daniel Bray comes in motion, hand off
2:02:52
Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker, picking his way toward the end zone.
2:02:55
Speaker 1: Second effort, is he there? Just short. It'll be second
2:03:00
Speaker 1: down and goal.
2:03:01
Speaker 4: Curry on the field as the runner is short of
2:03:02
Speaker 4: the goal line and second down.
2:03:03
Speaker 2: I'd go tempo right here and go right back to
2:03:05
Speaker 2: the same play.
2:03:06
Speaker 1: Second down and goal at about the half yard line
2:03:09
Speaker 1: here as Wayshon Parker almost got in. Oh, he almost
2:03:13
Speaker 1: got in. That knee might have come down just before
2:03:15
Speaker 1: he reached that ball.
2:03:16
Speaker 2: He was laying on top of somebody. It might be
2:03:18
Speaker 2: the elbow that comes down just short of the goal
2:03:20
Speaker 2: line right there.
2:03:21
Speaker 1: Here we go. Second down and goal from the half
2:03:24
Speaker 1: yard line. A test of wills right here. Play clock
2:03:27
Speaker 1: at 15. Parker next to Devin Dampier in the backfield.
2:03:32
Speaker 1: Two tights and two wides here for Utah. Play clock
2:03:36
Speaker 1: at five. Devin brings Braden Pagan in motion. Devin's going
2:03:39
Speaker 1: to keep it himself. Devin is going to be stopped
2:03:42
Speaker 1: back at the three-yard line. Goodness gracious.
2:03:46
Speaker 2: It's just because you're at the half-yard line, it's not guaranteed.
2:03:49
Speaker 2: That's why I would have went Temple and went right
2:03:50
Speaker 2: back to the same play.
2:03:51
Speaker 4: Oh, good.
2:03:54
Speaker 1: Oh, man. You've just... I would have loved to see
2:03:57
Speaker 1: Wayshon Parker get that ball again.
2:03:59
Speaker 2: Solotomo Yai just leveled the dude, which is exactly what
2:04:03
Speaker 2: you want to do. But he leveled the dude into Devin.
2:04:05
Speaker 2: Devin's got to hit that a little tighter. But the
2:04:08
Speaker 2: blue guys had that really tight. They were barreling down
2:04:11
Speaker 2: on it.
2:04:12
Speaker 4: Here we go.
2:04:12
Speaker 1: Third down and goal back of the four-yard line. Empty
2:04:14
Speaker 1: backfield for Devin. Five pass catchers in the formation. BYU
2:04:18
Speaker 1: is going to bring pressure here on Devin Dampier. Devin
2:04:22
Speaker 1: backpedals to pass, looking, looking, stepping, running, end zone, touchdown!
2:04:27
Speaker 2: Touchdown!
2:04:29
Speaker 1: Devin Dampier calls his own number, and into the end
2:04:33
Speaker 1: zone he goes for a Utah touchdown.
2:04:40
Speaker 2: Didn't that look reminiscent of something to you?
2:04:43
Speaker 1: USC. A little Cam Rising.
2:04:44
Speaker 2: A little Cam Rising. But that was a more designed run.
2:04:48
Speaker 2: I think Cam Rising wasn't a designed run right there.
2:04:50
Speaker 2: That was just a great job of blocking, man blocking
2:04:54
Speaker 2: across the line of scrimmage right there with the offensive line.
2:04:57
Speaker 2: Kudos to the offensive line there.
2:04:58
Speaker 1: This to make it an eight-point Utah lead. The PAT
2:05:00
Speaker 1: here by Dylan Curtis. High snap. Good hold. Kick is up.
2:05:04
Speaker 1: Kick is good. 12.03 to play. And Utah trailing by
2:05:09
Speaker 1: 20 to 14 at halftime. Has 14 unanswered here in
2:05:14
Speaker 1: the second half. That scoring drive, seven plays, 68 yards, 4.07
2:05:18
Speaker 1: off the clock. Devin Dampier today has two rushing touchdowns
2:05:22
Speaker 1: and two passing touchdowns. And with 12.03 to play, that
2:05:25
Speaker 1: Pepsi touchdown puts Utah up by eight. Let's go down
2:05:28
Speaker 1: to Zach Baugh. Zach, what did you see on that
2:05:30
Speaker 1: play by Devin Dampier?
2:05:32
Speaker 2: Calling his own number, man. Making a play when a
2:05:35
Speaker 2: play has to be made, right?
2:05:37
Speaker 3: Big-time players show up in big-time moments when it's needed
2:05:39
Speaker 3: for them, Tucker. That's a big-time guy making a big-time play.
2:05:43
Speaker 1: For the youth right there. Attendance today, 52,901. Standing room
2:05:51
Speaker 1: everywhere you can look. So much red in this stadium today.
2:05:56
Speaker 1: And the home team up with 12.03 to play. But Sly,
2:05:58
Speaker 1: I'll say it. And I know you're thinking there's a
2:06:01
Speaker 1: lot of time to play in this ballgame.
2:06:03
Speaker 2: It ain't over. Twelve minutes left in the fourth quarter.
2:06:07
Speaker 2: Everybody has to say successes and failures. Previous before this,
2:06:11
Speaker 2: you got to forget it, right? You got to play
2:06:13
Speaker 2: the possession at hand. The blue guys have been in
2:06:15
Speaker 2: situations where they've been down and they come back. This
2:06:19
Speaker 2: is just a tight football game. Rivalry games, anything can happen.
2:06:22
Speaker 2: Pay attention to your keys. Be disciplined. Get another three
2:06:25
Speaker 2: and out.
2:06:25
Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis has it teed up, kicking north to south
2:06:28
Speaker 1: here from his own 35. That's a high end overhand kick.
2:06:30
Speaker 1: That's returnable for Cannon DeVries, and he's going to bring
2:06:32
Speaker 1: it out for the five-yard line. He's dangerous. Here's DeVries.
2:06:35
Speaker 1: Cannon DeVries spins out of a tackle, and he's going
2:06:37
Speaker 1: to get out to about the 30-yard line. Man, that
2:06:41
Speaker 1: guy took one back earlier this year against Utah Tech.
2:06:43
Speaker 1: There's a flag on the play, too, all the way
2:06:45
Speaker 1: back at about the 38-yard line.
2:06:47
Speaker 4: Offside, number 12, kicking team, five-yard penalty, first down, BYU.
2:06:53
Speaker 1: So this ball will be moved out to about the
2:06:56
Speaker 1: 33 yard line from the 28 to about the 33.
2:06:59
Speaker 1: And that's where BYU will take over first and 10.
2:07:02
Speaker 1: Cougars haven't scored in the half. BYU's offense has been
2:07:05
Speaker 1: held in check over the last six drives by this
2:07:08
Speaker 1: Utah defense. Let's see if they can do it again.
2:07:11
Speaker 1: First and 10, Moa the tailback with Bear Bachmeier. JoJo Phillips,
2:07:17
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, comes in motion. The muskets loud. All 8,000 plus.
2:07:22
Speaker 1: Utah shifting around up front. First down handoff. Moa not
2:07:26
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Swallowed up at the line of scrimmage. Lucas
2:07:30
Speaker 1: Samsula really having himself a big game today. Made the tackle.
2:07:33
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at number 10. Look at number 10
2:07:35
Speaker 2: slice in there. Cut off that north and south penetration.
2:07:38
Speaker 2: Team defense. Good job by Lucas Samsula at getting that
2:07:42
Speaker 2: initial knockback on the offensive lineman right there. That's great
2:07:45
Speaker 2: team defense. The must got to get loud right here.
2:07:47
Speaker 1: Second down and 10. The must does get loud. Bear
2:07:50
Speaker 1: Bachmeier backs up into the shotgun. Clock running at 1125
2:07:53
Speaker 1: to play in the ballgame. Walker Lyons comes in motion.
2:07:58
Speaker 1: Bachmeier to pass. Plenty of time over the middle.
2:08:01
Speaker 2: Caught.
2:08:02
Speaker 1: That's Lyons again. Out across the 35, the 45 to
2:08:07
Speaker 1: the 47 yard line. That was actually Kyler Casper. Both
2:08:10
Speaker 1: of those big guys. Casper with the catch. First down BYU.
2:08:14
Speaker 2: Great throw.
2:08:15
Speaker 1: A lot of time to pass too.
2:08:16
Speaker 2: Trey Reynolds is kind of right there. It goes out
2:08:21
Speaker 2: of his outstretched arms right there, but the flat route
2:08:24
Speaker 2: pulled him kind of out of the middle. That's a
2:08:26
Speaker 2: great throw by Bear Bachmeier.
2:08:29
Speaker 1: Under 11 to play. First and 10 BYU from their
2:08:31
Speaker 1: own 47. Moa and Bachmeier in the shotgun. Trips to
2:08:36
Speaker 1: the left-hand side for the Cougars. Utah going to rush four.
2:08:40
Speaker 1: Bachmeier to pass. Lots of time. Over the middle and
2:08:44
Speaker 1: incomplete off the hands of Walker Lyons, who was open.
2:08:48
Speaker 1: It was open at about the 35. Ball might have
2:08:51
Speaker 1: been tipped at the line of scrimmage as well by Utah.
2:08:53
Speaker 1: We'll watch it.
2:08:56
Speaker 2: Lance Holtzclaw.
2:08:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, Holtzclaw's had a nice day. He's got a pick
2:08:59
Speaker 1: and a tip at the line of scrimmage. Second down
2:09:01
Speaker 1: and ten.
2:09:02
Speaker 2: He's going to come. The big-time players are going to
2:09:03
Speaker 2: come up big today. The leaders of this football team,
2:09:05
Speaker 2: Lance Holtzclaw, Devin Dampier, Rayshon Parker, they're going to come
2:09:08
Speaker 2: up big in this fourth quarter.
2:09:09
Speaker 1: Four wides on this with an empty backfield. Now they'll
2:09:12
Speaker 1: motion Moa back into the backfield on second down and ten. Bachmeier, hands, Moa, runs,
2:09:20
Speaker 1: second level. Shioni Moa breaking tackles all the way down
2:09:23
Speaker 1: to the Utah 40-yard line. Way too much. A gain
2:09:26
Speaker 1: of 19 on the play and a BYU first down.
2:09:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just buried themselves right there. They buried yourself
2:09:33
Speaker 2: in a blocker. You don't get extension to get in
2:09:36
Speaker 2: your gap right there, right up the middle, and they
2:09:40
Speaker 2: just get moved out of the way. Good job by
2:09:42
Speaker 2: the blue guys' offensive line.
2:09:45
Speaker 1: First and 10 Cougars on the move, trailing by eight.
2:09:49
Speaker 1: Bachmeier out of the gun. Hand off Moa again. Sione
2:09:53
Speaker 1: Moa breaking a tackle, but picking up just a yard
2:09:56
Speaker 1: to about the 39-yard line. Janu Hall, one of the
2:09:58
Speaker 1: defensive captains, came over to make the tackle as we
2:10:01
Speaker 1: dip under 10 minutes to play. Yeah, we need to.
2:10:03
Speaker 2: Get surefire tackles here. None of that, I'm just throwing
2:10:07
Speaker 2: my body at them. You need to wrap these guys
2:10:10
Speaker 2: up and drive them backwards, pull them backwards, whatever you
2:10:13
Speaker 2: have to do. But you got to make sure they
2:10:15
Speaker 2: don't get out of your grasp.
2:10:16
Speaker 1: Utah defense doesn't have a sack today. Only one tackle
2:10:19
Speaker 1: for loss. Second and nine. Bachmeier in the gun. Lasker
2:10:25
Speaker 1: comes in motion. Bachmeier throws the flanker screen to Glasker.
2:10:29
Speaker 1: He makes one man miss and dives forward to about
2:10:32
Speaker 1: the 35-yard line for a gain of four. Third down
2:10:34
Speaker 1: and five coming up. Tackled on the play again by
2:10:37
Speaker 1: Jono Hall.
2:10:37
Speaker 2: Great hustle play right there by Jono Hall.
2:10:39
Speaker 4: Again, extra effort plays.
2:10:41
Speaker 2: We talked about Elijah Ellis early in the game makes
2:10:43
Speaker 2: extra effort play. Jono Hall right there getting blocked. Hits
2:10:47
Speaker 2: off of that and makes that play right there.
2:10:48
Speaker 1: This will be four down territory for BYU, no doubt
2:10:51
Speaker 1: about it. Third down and five.
2:10:53
Speaker 2: You think?
2:10:54
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Down by eight, absolutely. LJ Martin in the
2:10:58
Speaker 1: ball game now with Bear Bachmeier. This will be a
2:11:00
Speaker 1: quarterback keep, perhaps. Movement up front by BYU. Third and
2:11:05
Speaker 1: five just became third down and ten. The right tackle
2:11:09
Speaker 1: moved early again.
2:11:10
Speaker 2: Number 45, defense.
2:11:11
Speaker 4: Five-yard penalty. Still third down.
2:11:16
Speaker 1: First of all, Pupu Sepulona got called for simulating the snap.
2:11:21
Speaker 2: Who's calling Pupu? Because it's so loud in here. How
2:11:23
Speaker 2: do you know what Pupu said?
2:11:26
Speaker 1: So third down and five becomes third down at about
2:11:28
Speaker 1: half a yard. Oh, my gosh.
2:11:31
Speaker 2: There's no ref around that to hear somebody simulating a snap.
2:11:34
Speaker 1: This will be Bear Bachmeier territory for sure here.
2:11:37
Speaker 2: How do they simulate a snap when it's loud and
2:11:38
Speaker 2: the away team claps to hike the football?
2:11:42
Speaker 1: Here we go. Martin in the backfield with Bachmeier on
2:11:45
Speaker 1: third down at about half a yard. Bachmeier's going to
2:11:51
Speaker 1: keep it, and he won't. Plunges through the line and
2:11:54
Speaker 1: picks up 2 to the 28 to keep those chains moving.
2:11:57
Speaker 1: And make it first down and 10 as the clock
2:11:59
Speaker 1: continues to run with 8.15 to play. Trey Reynolds with
2:12:03
Speaker 1: a tackle.
2:12:03
Speaker 2: That's a tish push play.
2:12:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was going to be him all the way.
2:12:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tish push play. That's guaranteed to get
2:12:10
Speaker 2: a yard or two for you.
2:12:12
Speaker 1: First and 10, Cougars trying to answer the Utah touchdown
2:12:16
Speaker 1: as we dip under 8 to play from the Utah
2:12:18
Speaker 1: 28-yard line. Martin stays in the ballgame. He's been a
2:12:22
Speaker 1: bit hobbled today, but he's been playing. He's got a touchdown.
2:12:25
Speaker 1: Bachmeier goes under center. It's a play action. Bachmeier rolls,
2:12:29
Speaker 1: looking down the field. Nothing there. Throws it across the field.
2:12:32
Speaker 1: And Martin, did he catch it? Yeah, he did. TFL.
2:12:35
Speaker 1: But he lost yardage back to the... Nope, now they're
2:12:38
Speaker 1: going to say incomplete.
2:12:39
Speaker 4: Incomplete pass.
2:12:40
Speaker 1: It's second down. Would have been better if he caught
2:12:42
Speaker 1: it because he would have lost two yards. Paul Fitzgerald
2:12:44
Speaker 1: forced him out of bounds. The defensive end came all
2:12:46
Speaker 1: the way across. That was good coverage down the field
2:12:47
Speaker 1: by Utah.
2:12:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody was covered on that. They weren't fooled. They
2:12:50
Speaker 2: tried to do a tight end delay wheel, right?
2:12:52
Speaker 4: We've seen that.
2:12:52
Speaker 2: They had that play success in the UCF game. And
2:12:56
Speaker 2: even last week, Utah had that all dialed in.
2:12:58
Speaker 1: Smart heads up play, by the way. Martin dropped that
2:13:01
Speaker 1: ball on purpose as he was going out of bounds.
2:13:02
Speaker 1: He knew he would have lost a couple yards. Second
2:13:05
Speaker 1: down and 10. Moa back in the ball game now.
2:13:07
Speaker 1: Three receivers right for the BYU Cougars. Bachmeier in the gun.
2:13:14
Speaker 1: Hand off. Moa. Bounce to the outside. Sione Moa. Pick up.
2:13:19
Speaker 1: Call it about four yards. To the 24-yard line. Hall
2:13:24
Speaker 1: and Rabbit Evans there. Another big third down coming here
2:13:27
Speaker 1: for the Utah defense. Third down and six.
2:13:32
Speaker 2: Hopefully the referees don't bail him out with another... Simulating
2:13:36
Speaker 2: the snap play right here.
2:13:38
Speaker 4: This has got to be huge.
2:13:39
Speaker 2: Third down to six does not mean QB run game,
2:13:42
Speaker 2: but you've got to keep your rush lanes in hand.
2:13:44
Speaker 1: Cougars one for one on third down on this drive.
2:13:47
Speaker 1: Third and six. Four receivers across the formation for Bachmeier.
2:13:52
Speaker 1: He's going to pass. Now he's going to keep it. Oh,
2:13:54
Speaker 1: he's going to run 15. Bear Bachmeier 10. And Bachmeier
2:13:57
Speaker 1: finally down at the Utah five-yard line. Oh, the middle
2:14:00
Speaker 1: opened wide for him on that play. And he picks
2:14:04
Speaker 1: up 19 yards and a first down. First and goal
2:14:07
Speaker 1: Cougars at the Utah 5.
2:14:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, they catch Utah in a stunt. And their stunt
2:14:12
Speaker 2: is to kind of X-stunt the center guard. But the
2:14:15
Speaker 2: center does a great job of sealing it right there.
2:14:17
Speaker 2: Creates a huge cavity in the middle of the defense.
2:14:20
Speaker 1: They spread the field and use the quarterback's legs. First
2:14:23
Speaker 1: and goal. Cougars in the red zone today. Three out
2:14:27
Speaker 1: of four. Bachmeier's going to go under center. No backs
2:14:32
Speaker 1: in the backfield this time. Tight ends and receivers across
2:14:36
Speaker 1: the formation. Now Moa comes back in the backfield. Play
2:14:39
Speaker 1: clock at two. Play clock at one. They hand it
2:14:42
Speaker 1: to Sione Moa. He's going to try and bounce it.
2:14:45
Speaker 1: He's not going to go anywhere. He'll get back to
2:14:48
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and that's it. Swarmed under by
2:14:51
Speaker 1: the Utah defense as we dip under six to play.
2:14:53
Speaker 1: Second down and goal.
2:14:55
Speaker 2: They need to watch for this offense. False starting here.
2:14:59
Speaker 2: It's loud in that north end zone. I've felt a
2:15:02
Speaker 2: few guys move on that play that wasn't called.
2:15:05
Speaker 1: Big opportunity here for the Utah defense to come up
2:15:07
Speaker 1: with a stand. Second down and goal for the five.
2:15:12
Speaker 4: There's guys moving.
2:15:15
Speaker 1: Pistol formation. Three receivers in a tight end. Bachmeier going
2:15:22
Speaker 1: to keep it himself. Bear gets to the three and
2:15:24
Speaker 1: that's it. He's swarmed under at about the two and
2:15:27
Speaker 1: a half yard line. That'll bring up third down and goal.
2:15:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to be a fake QB run
2:15:33
Speaker 2: play action type of thing here. Around the goal line.
2:15:36
Speaker 2: Kind of a Tebow jump pass type thing. Utah's going
2:15:39
Speaker 2: to go zero coverage across the board to try to
2:15:41
Speaker 2: knock that out. Defenders got to have inside leverage. Don't
2:15:45
Speaker 2: give away the inside play right here. Force him out
2:15:48
Speaker 2: to the sideline.
2:15:49
Speaker 4: Uses the sideline as an extra defender.
2:15:51
Speaker 2: This north end zone's got to get loud here on
2:15:53
Speaker 2: the third down.
2:15:53
Speaker 1: Third and goal with the three-yard line for BYU. Trailing
2:15:56
Speaker 1: by eight. Under five to play. Bachmeier goes under center.
2:16:00
Speaker 1: It's getting loud. Brings a man in motion. Bachmeier looking
2:16:06
Speaker 1: to throw. End zone. Intercepted!
2:16:08
Speaker 8: Trey Reynolds! Reynolds to the 10! Reynolds to the 13!
2:16:13
Speaker 2: It's the third pick of the.
2:16:14
Speaker 1: Day by Bachmeier! Trey Reynolds comes up huge for the
2:16:18
Speaker 1: Utah defense! Second interception on the season for Trey Reynolds,
2:16:34
Speaker 1: and it could not have come at a bigger or
2:16:36
Speaker 1: better time. He had Kasper wide open in the back
2:16:41
Speaker 1: of the end zone. If Reynolds doesn't come up with it,
2:16:44
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown for the Cougars. But instead, it's Utah
2:16:47
Speaker 1: football with 4.39 to play here at Rice-Eccles Stadium at
2:16:51
Speaker 1: a time out on the field. Sly's going to tell
2:16:53
Speaker 1: us all about it when we get back. This is
2:16:56
Speaker 1: Utah football for ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
2:17:00
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Big
2:17:03
Speaker 7: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
2:17:09
Speaker 1: Back at Rice-Eccles Stadium, the crowd into it thanks to
2:17:11
Speaker 1: Trey Reynolds, second interception of the year. Utah's got it
2:17:14
Speaker 1: first and 10 at their own 12, and leading it
2:17:17
Speaker 1: 28-20 with 4.39 to play in the ballgame. Sly, what'd
2:17:18
Speaker 1: you see?
2:17:21
Speaker 2: I saw a reminiscence of James Harrison in Super Bowl
2:17:24
Speaker 2: XLIII dropping back into coverage. That's just extra film study
2:17:28
Speaker 2: right there, understanding what the blue guys want to do
2:17:30
Speaker 2: around the goal line. Trey Reynolds dropping right into the
2:17:33
Speaker 2: pocket and making that happen, making that happen.
2:17:36
Speaker 1: 88-yard field. This is Wayshon Parker territory right here. We've
2:17:39
Speaker 1: seen him take two to the house from this distance.
2:17:41
Speaker 1: Movement up front. Keanu Kanabasa jumped early for BYU. He
2:17:44
Speaker 1: was trying to jump that snap, and that's going to
2:17:46
Speaker 1: be offsides on BYU.
2:17:47
Speaker 4: Offside, number 57.
2:17:50
Speaker 2: Defense, 5-yard penalty. Yeah, Utah's got to be smart right here.
2:17:55
Speaker 2: Keanu Tanavasa is known for doing dumb, dirty, weird extracurricular
2:18:02
Speaker 2: activities here. Make sure it uses against them and not you.
2:18:06
Speaker 1: So first and five, they move it to the 17-yard line.
2:18:09
Speaker 1: Parker in the backfield with Devin Dampier. Got to be
2:18:11
Speaker 1: sharp with the ball here if you're Utah. First down handoff,
2:18:15
Speaker 1: Wayshon Parker picks his way forward. 21-yard line as he
2:18:18
Speaker 1: picks up four. Oh, he was one step away from
2:18:21
Speaker 1: breaking that for a big one. Miles Hall, the middle linebacker,
2:18:24
Speaker 1: made the tackle for BYU. 425, 424, 423 to play.
2:18:25
Speaker 2: Clock running.
2:18:28
Speaker 1: BYU's got all three timeouts and not going to use
2:18:30
Speaker 1: them just yet.
2:18:35
Speaker 2: You got to understand that BYU is going to try
2:18:40
Speaker 2: to be opportunistic here. They're going to try to punch
2:18:42
Speaker 2: the ball out. So two hands on the football is
2:18:45
Speaker 2: going to be imperative for the Utes.
2:18:47
Speaker 1: Parker in the backfield. Bray split out wide to the
2:18:49
Speaker 1: left-hand side on second down and one. Devin Dampier in
2:18:53
Speaker 1: the shotgun. Play clock at five. He's going to let
2:18:55
Speaker 1: that drip down just a bit. Here's Daniel Bray. Devin's
2:18:58
Speaker 1: going to keep it himself and dive and get back
2:19:00
Speaker 1: to the line of scrims.
2:19:01
Speaker 2: That's it. That's fine.
2:19:03
Speaker 1: It'll be third down and one coming up as the
2:19:05
Speaker 1: clock continues to run here at 348.
2:19:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta go. For me, it go Wildcat here.
2:19:12
Speaker 2: Just get it ball in the way Sean's hands here.
2:19:15
Speaker 2: Get those big bodies up there. Move guys. I don't
2:19:18
Speaker 2: want to see any pullers. No pullers right here. Straight ahead.
2:19:23
Speaker 2: Double double. Way Sean uses his legs to get that
2:19:27
Speaker 2: yard right here. This is huge. This first down is huge.
2:19:32
Speaker 1: Utah three out of five on third down. They break
2:19:34
Speaker 1: the huddle quickly as Devin goes under center. Play clock
2:19:37
Speaker 1: at five. Wayshawn Parker in back. Play action roll down
2:19:40
Speaker 1: the field. He's got a man open, but he's going
2:19:42
Speaker 1: to run for it now and pick up the first down. Oh, goodness.
2:19:44
Speaker 1: Noah Benny would be running the Pro Bowl right now,
2:19:47
Speaker 1: but it's a first down for Devin Dampier.
2:19:49
Speaker 2: Control the clock. Control the clock. I agree. Noah Benny
2:19:54
Speaker 2: was wide open. But Devin was focused on getting the
2:19:57
Speaker 2: first down, which is exactly what you want to do.
2:20:00
Speaker 2: The blue guys don't use a timeout right here. Clock
2:20:03
Speaker 2: keeps rolling. You got the two-minute warning coming. This is
2:20:06
Speaker 2: exactly what you want to do. You've ran three plays.
2:20:10
Speaker 2: You've ran just over a minute off the clock. This
2:20:12
Speaker 2: is perfect.
2:20:13
Speaker 1: First and ten, Utah at their own 24-yard line.
2:20:16
Speaker 2: Get the ball away, Sean Parker, here. Clock's down at eight.
2:20:19
Speaker 1: Game clock at 233. Got to go. Devin in the
2:20:22
Speaker 1: shotgun with three on the play clock. He'll take the snap.
2:20:26
Speaker 1: Hand it off. Wayshawn Parker. He's going to get to
2:20:28
Speaker 1: the edge. Wayshawn, 30 and 32-yard line. Did he step
2:20:31
Speaker 1: out of bounds? They say he stepped out of bounds.
2:20:33
Speaker 4: Oh, Wayshawn.
2:20:35
Speaker 1: Good game, though, on the play. He picked up nine
2:20:37
Speaker 1: yards to the 33-yard line. The clock stops with 2.22
2:20:41
Speaker 1: to play.
2:20:42
Speaker 3: Oh.
2:20:44
Speaker 2: It was a good tackle to force him out of bounds,
2:20:47
Speaker 2: but he traps Wayshawn's ankle under that. Wayshawn comes up hobbled.
2:20:53
Speaker 1: Now the clock running again. Actually, they say did not.
2:20:56
Speaker 1: So the clock continues to run. This will take us
2:20:58
Speaker 1: to the two-minute timeout.
2:21:00
Speaker 2: Utah with second down and one.
2:21:04
Speaker 1: At the two-minute timeout. BYU with all three timeouts. We'll
2:21:13
Speaker 1: take the timeout with them. Utah two minutes away from
2:21:17
Speaker 1: staying perfect on the season. We'll come back to Rice-Eccles
2:21:20
Speaker 1: Stadium after this. It's 28-20 Utes. And this is Utah
2:21:24
Speaker 1: football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
2:21:29
Speaker 7: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
2:21:32
Speaker 7: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
2:21:37
Speaker 1: Minute 57 to play here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah first
2:21:40
Speaker 1: and 10 from their own 35. BYU uses their first
2:21:43
Speaker 1: of three timeouts. What do you do here, Sly? Do
2:21:46
Speaker 1: you keep the ball on the ground? I checked that.
2:21:49
Speaker 1: It's actually, yeah, it's first down and 10. So what
2:21:51
Speaker 1: do you do? Do you risk throwing the football or
2:21:53
Speaker 1: do you keep it on the ground?
2:21:56
Speaker 2: This is hard because the book of football and the
2:21:59
Speaker 2: book of Zach Moss has run the football, right? You
2:22:02
Speaker 2: run the football, but you got to tell you, defense
2:22:05
Speaker 2: is going all out right now. They're telling themselves you
2:22:07
Speaker 2: have to make a play. Exactly what Morgan Scali was
2:22:09
Speaker 2: telling the team at halftime is find a way. That's
2:22:12
Speaker 2: exactly what Kalani is telling his team right now. Find
2:22:14
Speaker 2: a way by being risky. They're going to go zero coverage,
2:22:17
Speaker 2: crash zero all day. You're going to get it on
2:22:19
Speaker 2: the outside. So if you're doing it, if you're going
2:22:22
Speaker 2: to put it in the air, I'd like to put
2:22:23
Speaker 2: it in the air here on first or second down.
2:22:26
Speaker 2: Somebody's gonna get zero coverage on the back in Evan
2:22:28
Speaker 2: Johnson isn't in the game We're gonna have an opportunity
2:22:30
Speaker 2: if you do throw it in.
2:22:31
Speaker 1: There to tight ends to wide receivers pagan and Johnson
2:22:34
Speaker 1: outside for Utah Parker the backfield with well with Devin
2:22:37
Speaker 1: damp here on first and 10 for the Utah 35
2:22:40
Speaker 1: BYU crowding the line of scrimmage right now Devin damp
2:22:43
Speaker 1: here gonna take the snap and hand it away Sean
2:22:46
Speaker 1: Parker and Parker's gonna get at the line of scrimmage
2:22:49
Speaker 1: and that's it Kalani Sitake takes the time out immediately
2:22:52
Speaker 1: Four seconds go off the clock. It'll be second down
2:22:54
Speaker 1: and 10. BYU will have one timeout remaining. So the clock.
2:23:02
Speaker 4: BYU called their second charge timeout. 30 seconds in length.
2:23:07
Speaker 1: So the clock game begins here. The good news for
2:23:11
Speaker 1: Utah is you're up by eight points. If you do
2:23:14
Speaker 1: have to punt.
2:23:16
Speaker 2: You're going to leave like 25 seconds, 28 seconds on
2:23:19
Speaker 2: the clock. for the blue guys to drive down the
2:23:21
Speaker 2: field and get a touchdown and a two-point conversion.
2:23:25
Speaker 1: That's why I say right now you're probably smart and
2:23:28
Speaker 1: just better off running that football straight ahead or maybe
2:23:31
Speaker 1: keeping it in Devin Dampier's arms. Maybe you put it,
2:23:33
Speaker 1: run something to where Devin keeps it and stays in bounds.
2:23:36
Speaker 2: I mean, the name of the game is running four-minute offense.
2:23:38
Speaker 2: You've got to try to get a first down, right?
2:23:41
Speaker 2: And so with all of this, for what you're saying
2:23:44
Speaker 2: is you can just take a knee if you want.
2:23:47
Speaker 2: Take a couple knees.
2:23:48
Speaker 1: Here we go. Second down and 10 for the 35.
2:23:51
Speaker 1: Dampier in the shotgun. BYU shifting around up front. They
2:23:54
Speaker 1: hand it again to Parker and he is smothered in
2:23:57
Speaker 1: the backfield by Keanu Tanavasa. Tanavasa standing over him right now.
2:24:02
Speaker 1: Kalani Sitake uses his final timeout.
2:24:04
Speaker 6: BYU has called their third and final charge timeout of
2:24:07
Speaker 6: the game.
2:24:09
Speaker 4: This will be a one-minute timeout.
2:24:11
Speaker 1: I think what that showed us right there, though, Sly,
2:24:13
Speaker 1: is they're going to run the football. Because to me,
2:24:15
Speaker 1: if you were going to throw it, that might have
2:24:16
Speaker 1: been the down you throw it on.
2:24:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's what Zach Moss was talking about. He's
2:24:19
Speaker 2: going under Shinner and doing that right there. Keanu Tanabasa's
2:24:21
Speaker 2: been killing the penetration today. He's had a heck of
2:24:25
Speaker 2: a game. I know he's got his baby boy on
2:24:27
Speaker 2: the way, so he's playing inspired, but he's been killing
2:24:30
Speaker 2: the penetration game right there, and the shotgun play needs
2:24:34
Speaker 2: some time to develop. And again, if you're getting over-aggressive
2:24:37
Speaker 2: D-lineman right there, you've got to pull that football or
2:24:39
Speaker 2: play his aggressiveness against himself.
2:24:41
Speaker 1: Third down and 14 here from the 31-yard line, a
2:24:44
Speaker 1: minute 50 to play. BYU now out of timeouts. So
2:24:48
Speaker 1: if Utah doesn't get the first down here, BYU will
2:24:51
Speaker 1: get the football back. but they're going to get the
2:24:53
Speaker 1: football back with probably 45, 50 seconds to play. So
2:25:00
Speaker 1: we'll see what they do here on third down and 14.
2:25:02
Speaker 1: Do they stay conservative again, or do they risk putting
2:25:06
Speaker 1: the ball in the air? I almost think you just
2:25:08
Speaker 1: have to play this thing conservative, run that thing straight ahead,
2:25:11
Speaker 1: and eat that time off the clock. Bray and Parker
2:25:15
Speaker 1: are the tailbacks. Sione, the Rhino back in the backfield,
2:25:21
Speaker 1: Devin Dampierre. BYU walking everybody to the line of scrimmage
2:25:26
Speaker 1: right now on third down and 14. Hand off, straight ahead.
2:25:31
Speaker 1: That's Wayshawn Parker again, and he's going to get three
2:25:34
Speaker 1: yards to the 33. And there's about a minute 39, 38,
2:25:41
Speaker 1: 35 on the game clock. So we'll see if Utah
2:25:44
Speaker 1: lets this thing go all the way down, take the
2:25:46
Speaker 1: time out, then they punt it. That's likely what they'll
2:25:49
Speaker 1: do right here. They will not take a penalty on this.
2:25:52
Speaker 1: Usually you do that around midfield. And the other thing
2:25:54
Speaker 1: you just simply can't do, you can't kick it to
2:25:57
Speaker 1: Canada Breeze. He's a very good return man.
2:25:59
Speaker 2: Very, very good. You want to pin him to the sideline.
2:26:02
Speaker 2: This is huge for the coverage team right here. Because
2:26:05
Speaker 2: what is the blue guys going to try to do here?
2:26:07
Speaker 2: They're going to try to block this kick. So, yes,
2:26:10
Speaker 2: you have to protect. And then you have to get
2:26:12
Speaker 2: your butt downfield and cover this kick right here.
2:26:16
Speaker 1: Morgan Scali takes the timeout.
2:26:18
Speaker 2: Utah.
2:26:18
Speaker 4: Utah. That's called their second charge timeout, 30 seconds in length.
2:26:23
Speaker 1: They call the timeout with a minute four to play.
2:26:27
Speaker 1: So you figure this play here will take somewhere in
2:26:29
Speaker 1: the neighborhood of 7 to 10 seconds. And that will
2:26:32
Speaker 1: take the clock down to right around 52, 53 seconds.
2:26:38
Speaker 1: And then BYU will have it with no timeouts and
2:26:41
Speaker 1: needing a touchdown and a two-point conversion to tie it.
2:26:45
Speaker 1: If you're just joining us, Utah led this game in
2:26:47
Speaker 1: the first two drives, 14 to nothing. BYU came storming
2:26:51
Speaker 1: back to score 20 unanswered. They led 20-14 here at
2:26:54
Speaker 1: the half. They've been shut out here in the second half.
2:26:57
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a great spat stat when
2:26:59
Speaker 1: BYU gets the football back here momentarily. Hopefully, most of it,
2:27:02
Speaker 1: we get the football back. That would be great. Orion
2:27:08
Speaker 1: Phillips needs a good snap here.
2:27:11
Speaker 4: Utah has exchanged jerseys on the scrimmage kick play.
2:27:14
Speaker 2: They're coming after it here. You've got to protect this.
2:27:16
Speaker 1: DeVries at his own 22. Here's the snap. It's high.
2:27:23
Speaker 1: Kick is away. Almost blocked. In fact, they might have
2:27:25
Speaker 1: got part of it. It's a short kick, a really
2:27:28
Speaker 1: short kick. And that's going to be killed at about
2:27:30
Speaker 1: the 48-yard line. A terrible kick by Orion Phillips. 19 yards,
2:27:34
Speaker 1: and BYU is going to have great field position here
2:27:38
Speaker 1: at their own 48-yard line with 15 yards. 54 seconds
2:27:40
Speaker 1: to play of course of course that had to happen
2:27:46
Speaker 1: this rivalry game Utah's defense the last seven drives three
2:27:52
Speaker 1: punts three interceptions and an end of half they've been
2:27:55
Speaker 1: terrific they've got to be terrific one more time here
2:27:59
Speaker 1: It's a 52-yard field for BYU after the short punt
2:28:03
Speaker 1: by Phillips. 54 seconds to play. Bachmeier in the shotgun.
2:28:08
Speaker 1: Bachmeier to pass. Lots of time serving. Pressure coming over
2:28:13
Speaker 1: the middle. Complete to Walker Lyons. He's short of the
2:28:15
Speaker 1: first down to the 45 of Utah. Clock continues to run. 44, 43, 42, 41.
2:28:22
Speaker 1: Bachmeier calling the play at the line of scrimmage.
2:28:26
Speaker 2: 38-37.
2:28:26
Speaker 1: He'll take the snap and backpedal again. Rush coming to
2:28:29
Speaker 1: the outside again, and it is short of the first down.
2:28:32
Speaker 1: Inbounds to the 43-yard line.
2:28:33
Speaker 3: 28-27-26. 25-24-23. 22-21.
2:28:34
Speaker 1: Third down and one, BYU. Bachmeier hands the ball to Moa.
2:28:47
Speaker 1: He's going to get first down yardage, but only about
2:28:50
Speaker 1: a yard to the 41 yard line.
2:28:51
Speaker 2: He's going to spike it here.
2:28:52
Speaker 1: They're going to stop the clock momentarily. 14 seconds. Bachmeier
2:28:58
Speaker 1: going to take the snap and spike it with one
2:29:01
Speaker 1: second coming off. They'll add a second. It's 12 right now,
2:29:04
Speaker 1: but they'll probably add one second here.
2:29:07
Speaker 6: At 13 seconds, BYU spiked the ball legally.
2:29:11
Speaker 4: It's second down.
2:29:12
Speaker 2: I like that word legally.
2:29:14
Speaker 1: Second down and 11. They get 10. 13 seconds to play.
2:29:19
Speaker 1: BYU's probably got two plays right here.
2:29:22
Speaker 2: They're going to go three shots at the end zone here.
2:29:24
Speaker 2: And you put your umbrella, your Big Ben package in here.
2:29:28
Speaker 2: Brady Pegg in his back. Here we go.
2:29:32
Speaker 1: From the Utah 41, Bachmeier out of the shotgun. Utah
2:29:35
Speaker 1: will rush four. Bachmeier looking, looking, looking. He's going to
2:29:39
Speaker 1: scramble to the outside. Bachmeier looking down the field, throwing
2:29:43
Speaker 1: across the field. It is intercepted by Nate Ritchie! And
2:29:47
Speaker 1: that'll be the ball game! Two seconds remain! The senior
2:29:54
Speaker 1: from Lone Peak High School makes the biggest play of
2:29:58
Speaker 1: his career. And for the first time since 2019, and
2:30:07
Speaker 1: for the 15th straight time on the year, and the
2:30:11
Speaker 1: record stays perfect. The University of Utah will beat the
2:30:16
Speaker 1: BYU Cougars today at Rice-Eckel Stadium. What a play by Richie.
2:30:25
Speaker 2: It's a great job right there at making Bear Bachmeier
2:30:28
Speaker 2: extend the play.
2:30:30
Speaker 4: Bear's got to understand, I got a first down in
2:30:32
Speaker 4: 13 seconds.
2:30:32
Speaker 2: I got to let this thing rip.
2:30:34
Speaker 1: The fourth interception today by Bear Bachmeier. Dampier takes a knee,
2:30:39
Speaker 1: and that'll do it. That'll do it. The Utes remain perfect.
2:30:48
Speaker 1: 9-0 on the season, 15 straight wins, and it's a
2:30:53
Speaker 1: great day to be a Ute here in Salt Lake City, Utah.
2:30:58
Speaker 1: Utah beats the BYU Cougars by a final score of 28-20.
2:31:02
Speaker 1: This is awesome. What a day.
2:31:14
Speaker 4: This is awesome.
2:31:14
Speaker 1: What a game.
2:31:15
Speaker 2: This is awesome.
2:31:16
Speaker 1: What an effort by the Utah defense. Eight consecutive drives,
2:31:21
Speaker 1: they hold BYU scoreless, Sly. After giving up scores on
2:31:25
Speaker 1: four straight drives in the first half, the last eight
2:31:28
Speaker 1: drives of the ball game, BYU is held scoreless, including
2:31:33
Speaker 1: four takeovers and takeaways.
2:31:38
Speaker 2: Just an amazing job. As we said, I felt like
2:31:41
Speaker 2: the defense got something there. you know, at the end
2:31:44
Speaker 2: of the second quarter. They get the Bobo Chanel interception,
2:31:48
Speaker 2: and that really just got the energy back, right? We
2:31:51
Speaker 2: talk about getting this crowd back in it. What's going
2:31:53
Speaker 2: to do it? Turnovers, TFL, sacks. This defense played with
2:31:57
Speaker 2: their hair on fire in the second half. Exactly what
2:32:00
Speaker 2: you want to do. They played inspired. They played great.
2:32:03
Speaker 2: Great football game. We talk about this being such... A
2:32:07
Speaker 2: tight matchup here. You look at the first two series
2:32:10
Speaker 2: of the game, you thought, oh, this is going to
2:32:11
Speaker 2: be over. But the rivalry game takes over. And then
2:32:14
Speaker 2: the blue guys take 20 unanswered points. This was just
2:32:18
Speaker 2: an awesome, awesome game on both sides of the football.
2:32:21
Speaker 2: Still a very good team by BYU down there. But
2:32:26
Speaker 2: today is the youth's day. This is youth's year. And
2:32:29
Speaker 2: we stay undefeated.
2:32:30
Speaker 1: For the first time since 2019, and for the 63rd
2:32:32
Speaker 1: time all time, The University of Utah knocks off the
2:32:40
Speaker 1: BYU Cougars. What a game today.
2:32:45
Speaker 2: Top ten win. I like it. I don't think the
2:32:49
Speaker 2: blue guys should drop that far in.
2:32:50
Speaker 4: The polls, but we'll see.
2:32:51
Speaker 1: This was a great football game. This was a great
2:32:55
Speaker 1: college football game today between two teams that are very
2:32:59
Speaker 1: evenly matched. A great football game today.
2:33:04
Speaker 2: I love it. There's so many things to be proud
2:33:07
Speaker 2: of today, especially if you're a Ute fan. Just love
2:33:11
Speaker 2: the effort by this team of not giving up, right?
2:33:14
Speaker 2: Things seem bleak in that second quarter. What the heck
2:33:17
Speaker 2: was going on? We couldn't catch passes. We couldn't confirm.
2:33:22
Speaker 2: We're missing tackles. We're breaking coverage. Everything was going wrong
2:33:27
Speaker 2: for us in that second quarter, and then they get
2:33:30
Speaker 2: an interception by Bobo Chenault, and that really got things rolling.
2:33:33
Speaker 2: It starts the third quarter, turnover, Lance Holspot with dropping
2:33:36
Speaker 2: the coverage, getting that thing, and then Trey Reynolds with
2:33:40
Speaker 2: the play of the century. That, to me, that's the
2:33:44
Speaker 2: play of the century, dropping back into coverage. As I said,
2:33:48
Speaker 2: it was reminiscent of Super Bowl XLIII when James Harrison
2:33:51
Speaker 2: fakes the blitz and then drops back into the zone
2:33:54
Speaker 2: right there, steals the slant away. Trey Reynolds does the
2:33:57
Speaker 2: same thing. Last thing he doesn't do is take it
2:33:59
Speaker 2: all the way to the end zone, but whatever it was,
2:34:02
Speaker 2: it allowed the four-minute offense to happen. This offense... I
2:34:06
Speaker 2: played great, you know, after the bleak second quarter of
2:34:09
Speaker 2: picking themselves back up, right? We talk about forgetting the
2:34:12
Speaker 2: successes and failures from the previous plays. That's the spirit
2:34:16
Speaker 2: right there. I can't wait to see the photos from
2:34:19
Speaker 2: this pandemonium. The whole entire must would be on the
2:34:22
Speaker 2: field here in two seconds.
2:34:23
Speaker 4: This is so awesome.
2:34:24
Speaker 1: The field is full of red here at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
2:34:27
Speaker 1: It's an unbelievable scene after an unbelievable top ten matchup
2:34:32
Speaker 1: on paper. One of the greats in this rivalry history.
2:34:36
Speaker 1: And BYU, who led it 20-14 at halftime, held scoreless
2:34:40
Speaker 1: in the second half by that Utah defense. Colton Swann's defense,
2:34:44
Speaker 1: just like they did against the Houston Cougars, came up
2:34:47
Speaker 1: huge here today, Sly.
2:34:49
Speaker 2: Well, we talked about it. It ain't over. Nothing's over.
2:34:51
Speaker 2: Just as quickly as you can score, your opponent can score.
2:34:55
Speaker 2: And we've seen that on both sides. We've seen us score,
2:34:59
Speaker 2: and then we've seen BYU get back up into this game,
2:35:01
Speaker 2: and then we see Us come back in this game
2:35:05
Speaker 2: by stepping up in the defense like there wasn't anything
2:35:08
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh man, it's a major correction It's
2:35:10
Speaker 2: just like yo fix it you get your head up
2:35:13
Speaker 2: and make the plays in this defense Made the plays
2:35:16
Speaker 2: in this second half to shut them out and put
2:35:18
Speaker 2: us back on top.
2:35:20
Speaker 1: Utah wins it today as the crowd is on the field.
2:35:24
Speaker 1: It's just one of those days here in salt lake
2:35:26
Speaker 1: city
