• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Utah fans.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome in to a sold out and
• 0:04
  blackdown Rights Echel Stadium. It's November the first, and like
• 0:08
  they say, the games to remember are the games in November,
• 0:13
  and we've got a good one here tonight's as the
• 0:15
  twenty fourth ranked Huge Play host to the seventeenth ranked
• 0:18
  Cincinnati Bearcats. I'm Bill Riley, so great to be with
• 0:21
  you on a chilly fall evening here in Salt Lake City,
• 0:25
  scott For the first time ever, these two teams are playing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: They've never met before, but.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: They're meeting in a big, big twelve game here tonight.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Oh It's a huge game and it's gonna have massive
• 0:35
  implications for you know, who makes it to the conference championship.
• 0:38
  Tie Breakers are a crazy thing that are gonna continue
• 0:40
  to unfold as we finish out this last month of
• 0:43
  the season. But I love where this Utah football team is.
• 0:46
  They're relatively healthy, they've got some juice state, they're excited.
• 0:51
  There's nothing better than the atmosphere of college football. No
• 0:55
  one does it better here than Utah. I love the
• 0:58
  dark Mode game. I love the game. I love the
• 1:01
  fact that this team gets to play a new opponent
• 1:04
  and that's one of the fun things that keeps on
• 1:06
  winding and unfolding being a part of the Big Twelve.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It's a good opponent, the Cincinnati Bearcats, who have kind
• 1:11
  of flown into the college football radar.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: But this is a good team. Scott Shadderfield, he has.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Here at year three and they're led by maybe the
• 1:18
  best quarterback of the Big Twelve.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, coach Sadderfield's done a tremendous job with
• 1:22
  this program and and uh and Cincinnati has had a
• 1:26
  kind of a surgeence in this in the in the
• 1:29
  landscape of college football, and uh, and they've had you know,
• 1:32
  they have a little bit of history and they they
• 1:34
  have a little bit of a program and a tradition
• 1:37
  that they're that they're building and it's it's just been
• 1:40
  extremely impressive. But Brendan and Sorosby will probably be the
• 1:43
  best quarterback uta sees the entire season. So it's a
• 1:46
  it's a you know, this is going to be a
• 1:48
  tough matchup. Quarterbacks can have a huge impact on games
• 1:51
  and Soresby is the guy that can do it. And
• 1:53
  he and he's good and he's good both running and
• 1:55
  throwing the football. It's going to be a big test
• 1:57
  for Utah tonight, but I really believe they're up up
• 2:00
  to it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Third member of our broadcast team is down in it
• 2:03
  tonight in the dark mode setting in another sellout here
• 2:06
  at Reichscle Stadium. That guy is Stevenson Sylvester Slide. What
• 2:10
  was the vibe in the locker room before the game,
• 2:11
  and what's the vibe on the sideline right now?
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Man, I gotta talk about the sideline first looking up at.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: This, but I know we talked about it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: In the pregame, but we really shouldn't make every game
• 2:20
  dark mode. This looks amazing. Love this dark mode atmosphere.
• 2:23
  Everybody's into it. This North End zone is absolutely insane.
• 2:27
  But back in the locker room there was a lot
• 2:28
  of focus, a lot of intensity.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Coach Whittingham was pacing back and forth.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Everybody's getting the vibe based off of him.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of the seniors or.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Guys on their way out, they're like, look, we only
• 2:39
  got two more games up this in this stadium left.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Let's play like it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Everybody have to turn up the intensity tonight. Absolutely love
• 2:46
  the mentality in the locker room.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Everybody's focused, everybody's ready to explode tonight slide.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Thank you that sideline update brought to us by our
• 2:53
  friends and Ken Garth.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: We hear you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Utah won the coin toss, and as Kyle Whittingham tends
• 2:58
  to do, he deferred to the second half. Try to
• 3:01
  get that two for one at the end of the
• 3:02
  half and get it coming out of the second half
• 3:04
  as well, which means we'll see the Cincinnati offense first
• 3:07
  here tonight, Scott. It's a good offense with Brendan soaresby
• 3:09
  as you highlighted. But he's got playmakers all over the
• 3:12
  field too.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he and he you know, he's not afraid
• 3:15
  to throw the ball to anyone. And it's tight ends,
• 3:17
  wide receivers across the board, and which helps your team.
• 3:20
  And that that's one of the teams reasons why this
• 3:22
  team has been so successful is they've had a balanced attack,
• 3:25
  and they've had a quarterback that that just makes plays
• 3:28
  and and and he's he's gained the confidence, he's made
• 3:32
  the players around him better and it's it's a huge
• 3:35
  impact that he hasn't this is gonna be a fun test.
• 3:38
  I'm telling you this is this might be the biggest
• 3:40
  test for this defense all year, which is how well
• 3:42
  the Cincinnati team has played.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Tonight's game being brought to you by go Terra Croud

• 4:02
  and the beautiful hand painted helmets. My Arbondo via real,
• 4:06
  who's here from Scott's Bluff, Nebraska. Maybe it's North Platte,
• 4:10
  Nebraska to be honored here tonight Cincinnati and their white
• 4:14
  uniforms with black helmets. Has Logan Wilson deep to receive
• 4:17
  a kick he averages twenty three yards to return this year,
• 4:21
  Dylan Curtis will kick it from south to north and
• 4:23
  we're underway here at Rice ecl Stadium.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Logan Wilson will.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Not return this kick as it goes out of the
• 4:29
  back of the end zone in its first intent for
• 4:31
  the Bearcats at their own twenty five yard line Scott.
• 4:34
  To be fair, Cincinnati's not played in an atmosphere like.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: This yet this year.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Now, they really haven't and I'm not really sure who
• 4:40
  they've played this year, you know, and look, sometimes with
• 4:43
  an eighth sixteen team schedule and conference, you can get
• 4:47
  the easier draw just with some of the teams, you know,
• 4:49
  if they're down a little bit or whatever. And that
• 4:51
  appears to be a little bit of the case for Cincinnati.
• 4:53
  So we're not totally sure how good they are. They're gonna,
• 4:57
  you know, we'll find out tonight, see if they're really
• 5:00
  a pretender or a contender.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: They line up person intended their own twenty five. Kyrie
• 5:04
  Walker is the tailback. Three receivers split to the left,
• 5:08
  one to the right hand side. As it gets loud,
• 5:10
  they bring a man in motion. They'll hand it to
• 5:12
  that man in motion out of the right hand side.
• 5:14
  That's Cyrus Allen, and he picks up six yards to
• 5:17
  the thirty one yard line for stet of bounds by
• 5:19
  Logan Fano with positive play on first down for Cincinnati.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Utah's in man coverage here and it's
• 5:25
  just the guy coming in motion. The defender just didn't
• 5:28
  get quite to his leverage position. They had a nice game.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Second Dad, we'll call it four.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Soursb operates exclusively out of the shotgun and he'll pass
• 5:40
  play action cut inside ball, knocked out of the line
• 5:42
  of scrimmage, Logan Fano got his hands on it. That's
• 5:47
  gonna go incomplete. Third down coming up.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I think one of the things that, if you say,
• 5:52
  it's almost as consistent as death and taxes, it's Utah's
• 5:55
  defensive line's ability to knock down those quick passes.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's a huge defense again, and it's just it's it's
• 6:01
  a knack.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: You've got to read the quarterback and time you're moving
• 6:05
  your hands quickly.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Four receivers on third down and four from their own
• 6:09
  thirty one Soresby and the gun, he'll stap and take
• 6:13
  it fire.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Over the middle.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: It's knocked out again at the line of scrimmage.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: This time intelink Ibama.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: They were trying to squeeze that ball into Joe Royer.
• 6:24
  Back to back knockdowns of the line of scrimmage, and
• 6:26
  the Utah defense comes up with a stop.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean Utah's they're doing their thing. It's like
• 6:31
  we're gonna go single high safety man coverage, get after you.
• 6:34
  But again that defensive line telling you they just they
• 6:36
  do such a tremendous job of that knocking down those passes.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Soresby stands at six three. It's not like he's a
• 6:41
  shad guy either. Here's the putt on Carvoluo back. He's
• 6:45
  gonna chase it. You're gonna tell everybody to get away
• 6:47
  from it. He rolls inside the ten, He picks it
• 6:49
  up inside the five, makes a man miss.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Moves forward and gets nailed at the four yard line.
• 6:55
  Car Volo dropped and Utah is gonna have a ninety
• 6:59
  six yard feet facing them right here after a punt
• 7:02
  of sixty two yards and minus two on the returch.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Should he have let that go? Scott, Well, it's hard
• 7:07
  to say. I mean it kind of he kind of
• 7:08
  got crossed up on it. The ball went way away
• 7:11
  from him. You know, if you get a friendly balance,
• 7:12
  it's good to pick it up. But he had so
• 7:15
  much momentum going backwards that he just couldn't get himself
• 7:18
  turned north and south running laterally, and that that just
• 7:21
  it's the death of you. And you know, but I mean,
• 7:24
  I don't know. The ball is going to be in
• 7:25
  a different position than where he picked it up, so
• 7:27
  it probably was a good idea.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: First down in ten, Daniel Bray the tailback Devin damp
• 7:31
  Pierre back at quarterback from the six. They given a
• 7:35
  Bray on that right hand side. Daniel makes one man
• 7:37
  miss then gets stopped straight ahead. That was actually damp
• 7:42
  Pier on the play. He kept it himself for a
• 7:44
  gain of three out of the nine yard.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Line, and Cincinnati brought the safety down leg they's showing
• 7:49
  a two high look here, but it's with the intention
• 7:52
  to bring a guy down into support in the run.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Three man down look for Cincinnati.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Second down in seven emotion Bray out of the backfield,
• 7:59
  Damn Pierre. Look at the pass fires to the outside.
• 8:01
  It's complete there. A man misses at the fifteen to
• 8:04
  the twenty out across the twenty to the thirty yard line.
• 8:07
  That's Daniel Bray, the freshman out of Fort Worth, Texas,
• 8:11
  and that's a huge gate of twenty one yards in
• 8:13
  a first down for Utah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Mcdoone made the tackle for Cincinnati.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Well, and Daniel Bray did a nice job of using
• 8:19
  his body for his momentum and is coming back to
• 8:22
  the football and then just bouncing off the defender.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: First intended to thirty yard line. They're going to hand
• 8:27
  it to Bray on that right hand side and he
• 8:28
  is going to be dropped immediately, Jonathan Thompson, the wheel linebacker,
• 8:34
  jumped into the backfield before Bray could turn the corner,
• 8:37
  and he dropped him for a two yard loss.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so hard when you're trying to run out there
• 8:41
  and that guy's already in your lane and you know
• 8:44
  the only thing can do is cut back, but there's
• 8:45
  nowhere to go.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: No, Yike missed on the block and that caused the
• 8:48
  loss by Bray. Second down in twelve Devid in the
• 8:51
  shotgun again. He back pedals to pass plenty of time
• 8:55
  surveys throws caught Dallan Bentley beyond the thirty five to
• 8:58
  the thirty six yard line.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That'll be a gain of eight. Not a bad gain
• 9:02
  on second down and long.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Now good sign too, because those are the ones that
• 9:05
  Devin has a hard time seeing and you know, getting
• 9:08
  the ball out on time.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: He hits him in a nice, nice spot right there
• 9:10
  in big gag.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's a good sign for this throwing offense for
• 9:15
  Utah gold Day.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: The linebacker made the tackle third down and we'll call
• 9:18
  it about four and a half yards to go for
• 9:20
  Utah line to make is the forty yard line. The
• 9:23
  Kari Rodgers in the ball game now Devin dan pierg
• 9:25
  him the shotgun. Three receivers in the pattern and a
• 9:29
  tight end for Utah. They bring a man in motion.
• 9:31
  They're gonna hand that ball to Daniel Bray. Daniel Bray
• 9:34
  is not gonna get there, or is he second effort
• 9:37
  might get him there. They're gonna mark him short. He's
• 9:39
  in about the thirty nine and a half yard line.
• 9:41
  I thought he'd be well short. Instead, it's gonna be
• 9:44
  four down at about one. We'll see what Kyle Whitningham
• 9:46
  decides to do right here. He looks like he's gonna
• 9:48
  keep the offense out there. Well, those analytics, that's what
• 9:50
  they tell you. And then that fourth and short. You know,
• 9:53
  a pretty good game there. Looked like you might get it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: But it's tough, you know, when you have a diminutive guy,
• 9:59
  you're asking to kind stick it up in the in
• 10:01
  the in the must there and get it first down.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Here we go fourth down. They quickly break the huddle.
• 10:06
  Damp Pier goes under.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Center, jumbo package for Utah and fourth down and one,
• 10:10
  Devin changing the play. Now Cincinnati crowns the line of scrimmage.
• 10:14
  They bring a man in motion to the left hand side,
• 10:16
  they turn and they hand it and he is going
• 10:18
  to be dropped shorts.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: He is not going to get it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: The mark on the near sideline has him short of
• 10:24
  the yard the yards to gain. I don't think he
• 10:27
  got it's gotten.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard to It almost looked like he got
• 10:29
  his head ripped off. It looked like there was a
• 10:31
  face mask. If it touches any part of the line,
• 10:34
  I believe it's a first down this time out for
• 10:36
  a measurement.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: The ball is right at the forty yard line. That
• 10:40
  was the yard together the line to gain. That's where
• 10:42
  they've got it set down right now, and we'll see
• 10:45
  what the chain gang says when they bring them in
• 10:47
  from the sideline. Everybody's favorite measurement team comes in here
• 10:51
  to tell Utah whether he got a first down or not.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to call you know. He just it's like, look,
• 10:56
  we're gonna put everyone over here and here we go,
• 10:58
  and you just got to get your blocks. And he
• 11:02
  got it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Actually, the nose of the football is just at the
• 11:05
  forty yard line. I think he might be right, Scott.
• 11:06
  I think he may have gotten this.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: You should have They should replayed if they don't get
• 11:10
  it because he clearly his elbow go got past the ball.
• 11:13
  That is a good spot.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Should have reached the chains out via first down, and
• 11:18
  Utah got it by the nose of the boot clay.
• 11:20
  They got it by the nose of the football on
• 11:23
  fourth th and one. The drive will stay alive with
• 11:25
  eleven twenty to play here in the first quarter, first
• 11:28
  down Utah Riverboat Kyle and it pays off early.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and those are the plays. You know, you got
• 11:33
  those tough moments and you know you gotta get it done.
• 11:36
  And this offense found a way to get it done.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: So first down in ten at their own forty yard line.
• 11:41
  This drive started at the Utah six zero zero early
• 11:45
  on first drive for Utah after getting a three and
• 11:47
  a half for the Bearcats. Damp here in the gun. No,
• 11:54
  that's bird Ficklin who's in the gun. And bird Fickland
• 11:57
  is down the football.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: But he fell right back on and that was no
• 12:02
  game for bird Fickland.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I know they want to keep, you know,
• 12:08
  get burn in the game here. It's just it's really
• 12:10
  hard with a flow and maybe maybe Devon's not completely healthy.
• 12:14
  And when you want to do that quarterback designed run,
• 12:17
  you know, maybe he comes in the game a little
• 12:19
  bit like what they did against Buyu.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: They appear back in the ball game. They motioned bird
• 12:23
  Fickland to the bottom of the formation. Way Sean Parker
• 12:25
  in for the first time. On second down in ten,
• 12:27
  Devin rolls to his right, looks down the field, throws
• 12:30
  down the field. Good coverage out there by the Bearcats.
• 12:33
  They tried to get that ball in to JJ Buchanon.
• 12:36
  Excellent coverage on the outside by Christian Harrison, the son
• 12:39
  of Rodney Harrison. Third down and ten coming up. Yeah,
• 12:43
  you know, JJ's got to he's got to stick that defender.
• 12:47
  He's got to create some separation. He just run up
• 12:49
  and run out against man cover. It's just it's really
• 12:52
  easy to cover third down in ten. Utah er for
• 12:54
  one on third down. Here on the drive, two in
• 12:58
  the backfield, three of the formation. On third down and ten,
• 13:02
  Cincinnati will rush four. Damn Pire, they bring a late
• 13:04
  rusher and he's gonna scramble. Now, devon up the field.
• 13:07
  He's got the forty five, he's got the fifty and
• 13:09
  a first down. The yard the game was the fifty
• 13:13
  he got right there, and that's gonna be a Utah
• 13:16
  first down, there's the scrambling ability. Jonathan Thompson, the will
• 13:19
  linebacker made the tackle for Cincinnati to drive stays alive.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and those are those magical plays you know that
• 13:26
  are huge and converting those third downs are one of
• 13:29
  the things that when Devin's on his game, he just
• 13:32
  finds a way to do great read here, splows up
• 13:34
  into the hole there and makes a move and knows
• 13:37
  where to get The first own was Wyshawn Parker is
• 13:39
  the Wildcat running back right now with the pink shoes
• 13:41
  and gloves, running straight ahead forty five forty and down
• 13:45
  to the thirty eight yard line of Cincinnati.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: A twelve yard game for Parker. Nice blocking up run.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Logan Wilson, the quarter came up to make the stop
• 13:51
  and this rive stays alive with a great run about
• 13:55
  the club by running back Bayshawan Parker.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Wyshan really kind of I think he took a
• 13:59
  step forward last week. The pink shoes and the gloves
• 14:03
  and the and the flag man. You know who's in
• 14:05
  the game right now, and it's Wayshan.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Three receivers split wide to the right hand side. Parker,
• 14:09
  the tailback motions out Devin's gonna fake a pass and now.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Look to pass down the field. He's got a man
• 14:14
  open down the field, tore the end zone up and
• 14:17
  drop he had him. There were two men there.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And it was Jackson Benny and Dallan Bentley, and I
• 14:26
  think it went off the hands of Jackson Benny incomplete.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Oh it was a great bro though, like Devin.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Dan perfect throw and he puts a nice air on it,
• 14:34
  just lets him under as it's almost like they ran
• 14:36
  into each other.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Did Oh goodness, Dallan Bentley collided with Benny, Otherwise it
• 14:40
  would have been six.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Second down to ten now at the thirty nine of Cincinnati,
• 14:46
  Parker stays in the ball game as the tailback.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Hand off way Sean Parker right.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Side, stays on his feet, keeps those things moving and
• 14:55
  down to the thirty six yard line he goes for
• 14:56
  a gate of three. Cincinnati's tough up front ant Twine
• 15:00
  Peaks Junior, who was just Dave a semi finalist this
• 15:03
  week for Cincinnati, made the tackle.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a very active team right now. I
• 15:08
  mean they're really really trying to stop the run. Put
• 15:11
  that extra safety up to the line. But I love
• 15:13
  to throw with Utah taking a shot over the top
• 15:15
  and just help kind of soften that defense as we
• 15:17
  move on in the game.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Third down in a long seven for Utah for the
• 15:20
  bear Cat thirty six. They're one for two. On third down,
• 15:23
  Devon drops the pass looking firing to the outside. Cot
• 15:27
  dropped and nearly intercepted. They were trying to get that
• 15:29
  ball to JJ Buchanan and it went off his hands
• 15:33
  and also went off the hands of Monte Whedon, the
• 15:37
  same linebacker, and that was nearly intercepted. I'll bring up
• 15:39
  fourth down and Utah is gonna keep the offense out
• 15:41
  there and go for it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: You gotta throw the ball sooner when you don't have
• 15:44
  someone go oning up the middle of the field to
• 15:46
  hold that safety. You gotta throw it quick. And Devin
• 15:48
  just waited too long to throw that tick.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna kick the field go with Dylan Curtis instead.
• 15:52
  On fourth down in seven, Utah keeps the offense out there,
• 15:55
  two backs to the backfield, damp Pierre in the shotgun
• 15:59
  back pedals to pass. Now he's gonna scramble out to
• 16:01
  his right. Devin's gonna chance to run. He's got the
• 16:05
  thirty and the twenty nine that'll be a first down.
• 16:08
  He needed the twenty nine and he got the twenty
• 16:11
  nine yard line in Utah is gonna stay alive on
• 16:13
  fourth down on the legs of Devin damp Pierre.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He should have just kept running a
• 16:17
  little hesident there, He should have just gone. You know,
• 16:19
  I'm not sure if he totally knew where the first
• 16:21
  down marker was.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: He was being pursued by Jake gold Day of the linebacker.
• 16:26
  But he picks up first down yard at Utah. Now
• 16:28
  two for two on fourth down. They keep the drive alive.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the magic of Damn Pierre is those situations, man,
• 16:35
  those are huge conversions.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Bird Fickland back of the ball game for Utah, Devin
• 16:39
  damp Pierre motions to the right hand side. Might there
• 16:42
  be a gadget coming ficklind by himself and the gun.
• 16:45
  Bird's gonna keep it himself and Bird's gonna get dropped
• 16:48
  at the line of Scrimmage's just not much there and
• 16:51
  they're selling with the minute he comes into the ballgame.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: There absolutely selling out to the run.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not really sure why because he can throw the football.
• 16:59
  You know, if you're gonna do that. You gotta show
• 17:01
  both ways. But Cincinnati just they had too many guys there.
• 17:04
  I don't even know if they covered damp pire on
• 17:06
  the outside. It's like they go, you're a token out here.
• 17:09
  You don't mean anything. You're not getting the ball.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: We're on the sixteenth play of this drive right now,
• 17:13
  second down in ten at the Cincinnati twenty nine yard line,
• 17:16
  seven and a half to play here the first quarter,
• 17:18
  Bray comes in motion. They handed the Daniel Braid. Daniels
• 17:21
  got the edge at the twenty five. Dad to about
• 17:23
  the twenty four. But a flag flies, and I think
• 17:26
  this one's gonna come back. I think we had an
• 17:27
  illegal shift on Utah. Yeah, someone might have gone a
• 17:31
  little bit earlier. Someone's in the neutral zone.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Hard to say.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Referee on the near side line dropped this flag and
• 17:40
  we'll see what the referee says.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the legal motion all things.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: You're thirteen five yard penalty.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Second noun.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Well, that was Daniel Bray, the man that got the handoff.
• 17:52
  That's our referee. Luke Richmond in a big back. Utah
• 17:55
  up five yards and second down in fifteen now back
• 17:58
  at about the.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Thirty four yard line.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, someone was probably not quite set when he went
• 18:02
  in motion, and it's probably the problem. Or I think
• 18:06
  he's the only guy over there and he should have
• 18:08
  been on the line of scrimmagers. Not enough guys, who knows.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Either way, it's a five yard penalty on Utah makes
• 18:13
  it second down in fifteen Thecary Rogers of the ball game.
• 18:16
  Now for Utah and Devon's gonna roll out to his
• 18:18
  right hand side, throw down the right hand side complete.
• 18:21
  That's a the town. That's what the five, that's a touchdown.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: He's nice bad Ryan Davis thirty four yards and you'd
• 18:30
  call strikes first on a Saturday nights.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: See, that's a nice adjustment. He rolls out, Devon rolls
• 18:38
  out normally and they just run the guy on the out.
• 18:39
  They did it earlier in the game, and this time
• 18:42
  Ryan Davis just sat in the hole. He's wide open
• 18:45
  and Devin did a nice job of getting it to
• 18:47
  him early. And when you get it to a guy
• 18:50
  early and on the mark man he can make plays
• 18:52
  and make people miss score touchdowns.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: What a year Ryan Davis is having. That's his fourth
• 18:58
  touchdown catch the year. Pat by Dylan Curtis is up
• 19:03
  and it's good at PEPSI touchdown for Utah capping a
• 19:07
  seventeen play make it sixteen play, ninety four yard drive
• 19:11
  that took seven oh seven off the game clock seven
• 19:14
  o five to play.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Here in the first our.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Game tonight being brought to you by Jersey Mike's because
• 19:19
  authentic ingredients make them a sub above this is Utah
• 19:22
  Football ESPN.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Seven hundred and the un Sports Radio Network.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Hang of a drive, a heck of a statement early
• 19:28
  by Utah. Sixteenth plays, ninety four yards, two fourth downs converted.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Sly your thoughts from the sideline, man.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: I absolutely love the offensive aggressiveness. There's a little hesitation
• 19:38
  on the first fourth down incursion whether to go for
• 19:40
  it or not, but after that they were all going.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I absolutely loved it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: The play calling, the throwers from Devin down pair strong,
• 19:47
  confident getting out of the pocket, making those first down.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Understanding I'm not just sliding.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna run into this defender and keep running my
• 19:53
  feet and pick up this first down.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: The offensive play calling has to be commended.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: The defense first drive three and out batting the ball
• 19:59
  down at the land of the scrimmage. We talk about
• 20:01
  all the time. The fight starts up front right. Our
• 20:03
  d line is playing perfectly right now. They got to
• 20:05
  back it up. Great six minute drive on offense, keep
• 20:08
  their offense on the sideline. Defense got to keep it up.
• 20:10
  This is awesome start.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you slide that sideline update. Brought to you by
• 20:14
  ken't Garth, We hear you first, Happy and brought to
• 20:16
  you by bud Light. Easy to drink it, easy to enjoy.
• 20:18
  Devin Dampier was three of six for sixty two and
• 20:21
  ran three times for twenty one, so he was responsible
• 20:24
  for eighty three of the ninety four yards himself.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the conversions were huge. I mean those were
• 20:29
  just big plays. And that's when he's doing stuff like that,
• 20:32
  that's when this Utah offense really moves.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Logan Wilson back deep to receive this kid from Dylan Curtis.
• 20:40
  It's a right foot into it. Logan Wilson wants nothing
• 20:42
  to do with it. Eight yards deep in the end
• 20:44
  zone and Brendan Sores beating and that Cincinnati Bearcat offense
• 20:47
  and come out for a second time. They with three
• 20:49
  and out of the opening drive. I got a nice
• 20:52
  fly sweep of the first play. The next two balls
• 20:54
  would batted down at the line of scrimmage. We'll see
• 20:55
  if Soresby makes any adjustments to that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it looked like Cincinnati, and he was like, look,
• 21:00
  we're just gonna take some quick shots here, not really
• 21:03
  have our quarterbacks sit in the pocket for a long time.
• 21:05
  That was kind of quick easy throws was the name
• 21:08
  of the game in that first drive. And see what
• 21:10
  they change here, and they may try to run it
• 21:11
  a little bit or take shots deeper down the field.
• 21:14
  With his pressman coverage.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Zian Johnson will be the tailback. What we expected to
• 21:18
  see tonight. Three receivers on first down piscol formation, hand
• 21:22
  to Johnson off that left hand side, and he breaks
• 21:24
  through the line and picks up about a two yard game.
• 21:27
  John o'hall, who had a great game last week, including
• 21:29
  two and a half sacks, made the tackle for Utah
• 21:32
  second down at eight coming up.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Utah had no safety deep on that first play. Everyone
• 21:37
  was at the line of scrimmage, he.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Said, so that he goes quickly another hand off the
• 21:42
  left side Johnson. This time he's dropped behind the line
• 21:45
  of scrimmage. Didn't really have a chance that time.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Jonah put his defensive tackle spot and made the tackle
• 21:51
  third down and long coming up.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jonah did such a nice job. There's a flag
• 21:55
  on the field, but Jonah did such a great job
• 21:57
  of just shedding that block, aking a great play all sides.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Wow, Deef mats I was steam find up the five filty.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Second down that was quarterback Blake Cotton. Should a corner
• 22:11
  ever be off side, Scott, there's press coverage. That was
• 22:14
  extra press coverage.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Rules in football, and the wide receivers never jump off
• 22:19
  or lineup off off sides, and if you do, you
• 22:22
  lose your you lose your dB card.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: So instead of second that we get third and long,
• 22:26
  it's second. It's short now for the Bearcats of the
• 22:28
  thirty two man in motion sores be to pass ball
• 22:32
  thrown to the outside, caught there by Johnson Zyan Johnson
• 22:35
  out of bounds and about the forty one yard line,
• 22:37
  and the Bearcats have a first down four seut of
• 22:39
  bounds by john Wa Hall.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll tell you when you when you go
• 22:42
  press man coverage, these linebackers have to be really aware
• 22:45
  of those backs out of the backfield. Didn't quite see
• 22:48
  it quick enough there.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Toalie Walker back to the ball game. On first and ten,
• 22:53
  for the forty one yard line. Socores Be of the gun,
• 22:56
  brings his wide receiver in motion, hands to Walker, walk
• 23:00
  bouncing to the inside to the outside, stays on his
• 23:02
  feet and crawls his way forward for a game of seven.
• 23:06
  After the forty eight yard line, looked like they had
• 23:08
  him about two different times, Benny finally made the tackle
• 23:10
  for Utah.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those those open field runs here and it just
• 23:14
  guys are right where they should be in just last
• 23:16
  second tackles. They just kind of missed.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: So second in short here playbook open for Soresby checks
• 23:23
  with the sideline, now surveys the defense. Walker stays in
• 23:26
  the ball game as his tailback twins left and right
• 23:31
  for Soresby. Now he brings a man in orbit motion.
• 23:34
  Soresby's gonna roll out to his left hand side, throw
• 23:37
  off his back foot down the field and even complete.
• 23:39
  He had to get rid of it because he had
• 23:41
  pressure in his face and that pressure was coming from
• 23:44
  Joe to Lam. Joe Royer the tight end was he
• 23:47
  intended target third down coming.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Up, and they really felt like they could get Utah.
• 23:51
  Slipping a guy on the back side the tight end,
• 23:53
  they sometimes they get lost. You have that second and short,
• 23:56
  and sometimes you want to take a shot there knowing
• 23:58
  you you're gonna have a third short or if.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: You don't have it, Mandy Covey the tail back of
• 24:02
  the ball game, now BEARKATCHERI voed for one on third
• 24:04
  down and it gets loud at Rice ecles Ukaw bringing pressure.
• 24:15
  They're running the speed option to the outside. The pitch
• 24:17
  to come. He's got the quarter forty five forty stepped
• 24:20
  out of bounds, but then got down to about the
• 24:22
  thirty three yard line.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Smith Snowden stopped him.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: That's a big gain of about eighteen yards. I thought
• 24:28
  he stepped out of bounds at about the forty, but
• 24:30
  instead they say no, all the way down to the
• 24:32
  thirty three yard line.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just speed option here, and of course you've got
• 24:35
  you got. Everyone has an assignment. Jackson Benny knows he's
• 24:39
  got the pitch man, and he's got a trust that
• 24:41
  that linebacker has the quarterback. Because it just he took
• 24:44
  a poor angle. That play should have been stopped for
• 24:46
  no game.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Instead, first intend at the Utah thirty three cove he
• 24:49
  stays at the ball game.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Three receivers left at a tight end of the left
• 24:53
  slot for Soresby.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: He's gonna roll to his right, look down the field,
• 24:57
  throw down the field, just incomplete. They were hoping to
• 24:59
  sneak Covey out of the backfield and get it to it.
• 25:01
  But Utah had good coverage on the play and second
• 25:05
  down coming up.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta be aware of the back slipping out
• 25:08
  of the backfield here and so often they get lost.
• 25:11
  That's great and awareness of great read on that play.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: So second down in ten, Soresby turning around talking to
• 25:18
  any Covey's tailback pistol formation. Two receivers left, one to
• 25:22
  the right, the tight end to the right slot. That's
• 25:25
  Joe Royer. Utah shiftsing around up front. They're gonna run
• 25:29
  the option to the outside. He's got running room way
• 25:31
  out there. That's Covey to the outside and wrestled down
• 25:34
  at the Utah twenty two after a game of eleven.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Tao Johnson made the tackle, but there was nobody out there.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Again. Speed option is assignment football, and Utah has just
• 25:46
  been late on the pitch man and it's typically the
• 25:48
  safety who's the guy that hasn't much.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Better drive For Cincinnati, they're on the edge of the
• 25:52
  red zone now at the Utah twenty two first down
• 25:55
  at ten o clock, running at four oh five to play.
• 25:57
  Here the first seventh noth in Utah walker back of
• 26:02
  the ball game. Toss Nope, Soresby's got it. He's gonna
• 26:06
  walk into the end zone untouched. He faked the pitch
• 26:08
  and walked it right up the middle for twenty two
• 26:11
  yards in a Cincinnati touchdown. And there's the legs that
• 26:14
  will beat you. Brendan Soarsby with his ninth rushing touchdown
• 26:17
  of the year and make it eighth rushing touchdown of
• 26:19
  the year.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And there was massive confusion across the board really
• 26:23
  on that whole drive, and people were just not filling
• 26:26
  their assignment. Had three guys going to the outside. I mean,
• 26:29
  there's one blocker, there's three defenders. That ball should have
• 26:32
  been blown up for no gain. And he sc scores
• 26:34
  a touchdown easy, and it's like there's just some confusion.
• 26:37
  People aren't settled, they're not in the right spots right now.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Russnack the place kicker off. He's a lefty. His pat
• 26:45
  is up and his pat is good. So Cincinnati answers
• 26:48
  the Utah drive with an eight play, seventy five yard
• 26:51
  drive of their own and Brendan Soresby so very dangerous
• 26:54
  with his legs, runs twenty two yards untouched and we're
• 26:57
  seven to seven, three fifty three to play here in
• 26:59
  the first half for the Big O' Tires broadcast booth
• 27:02
  at Utah Football from ESPN seven under the Youth Sports
• 27:05
  Radio Network. Great Cliffs Crownd, sponsors of the Units, would
• 27:08
  like to get you in and out in fact to
• 27:09
  break this download their online check it at Great Cliff's
• 27:12
  gonna be great. That was Brendan Soarsby and his legs
• 27:15
  and got it done on that drive. Seven seventh three
• 27:17
  pot fifty three to play in the first quarter. It's
• 27:19
  got There were three Utah defenders that were right there
• 27:22
  that could have made to play.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: All three over ran it. Sars Be made a pick.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and again, like I said, it's just unclear about
• 27:29
  what people are doing. And you know, maybe it is
• 27:31
  everyone trying to do too much on this defense, you know,
• 27:34
  and you know, because you shouldn't have five guys outside,
• 27:38
  you know, on cutback, someone's got to be that phil defender,
• 27:41
  as Sly said before we went to break. But it's
• 27:44
  also on the option. You know, it's pretty pretty you know,
• 27:47
  elementary football. It's like everyone has an assignment. Do your assignment,
• 27:52
  and it feels like Utah is not quite clear about
• 27:54
  who's boys to be doing what right now on dee
• 27:56
  they'll get it sorted out, though.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Russ Snack will kick it off from his own thirty
• 27:59
  five north to south here at Rice Ecle State, beautiful night,
• 28:02
  temperatures now in the mid fifties, no wind here, a
• 28:06
  sellout crowd of blackout crowd here at Rice Ecle Stadium.
• 28:11
  Left footed kicker puts his left foot into it, drives
• 28:13
  it high and deep, and this would be a touchback,
• 28:16
  and Utah will be get first intend at their own
• 28:17
  twenty five, much better starting position than they had where
• 28:19
  they went ninety four yards on their opening drive. But
• 28:22
  we'll see what Devin damp here and more importantly, Jason
• 28:24
  Becks got dialed up here on the second drive.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And these are fun games, you know, they're really two
• 28:28
  really good football teams. And Cincinnati answered back, you know
• 28:32
  with Utah and their drive. And so now what does
• 28:35
  Utah do? You know, what what do they dial up?
• 28:38
  What are they again? I really like the play action
• 28:40
  and throwing a ball down the field a little bit here.
• 28:43
  It just continues to soften up this defense.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Way Shawn Parker will be the Wildcat quarterback tail back
• 28:50
  with a blocker in front, free down lineman for Cincinnati.
• 28:52
  Wayshawn's going to take it and run it straight ahead
• 28:54
  into a pile of bear cats. Keep those legs moving
• 28:57
  and pick up almost four yards after the twenty nine
• 29:00
  yard line. Offensive series being brought to you by our
• 29:03
  friends at bud Light. Easy to drink it, easy to enjoy.
• 29:05
  Brian Sims, the third of middle linebacker, help make that tackle.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: It's tough when you do wildcat and you're running back
• 29:10
  because you know they're king on you. And boyd did
• 29:13
  Cincinnati key on him? Those are great yards kind of
• 29:17
  playing a little downhill.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Lander Barton in the left slot is a tied end
• 29:20
  tail back of the ball game. Daniel Bray, Devin, Dan
• 29:22
  Pierre back in the shotgun on second down and call
• 29:25
  it six Devin. The pass throwing to the outside cought
• 29:27
  there and that is Ryan Davis again and Davis gets
• 29:30
  first down yardage after the thirty seven yard line again
• 29:33
  of eights and a first down for Utah.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Ryan Davis two big rams here tonight.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: So far had a good job by Devin to kind
• 29:39
  of just set him in that hole right there, you know,
• 29:41
  not having run through the opening there. And great adjustment
• 29:44
  and catch by Ryan Damn Pierre.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Now with seventy yards passing here tonight first and ten,
• 29:49
  as he stands by himself in the shotgun, now he
• 29:52
  brings Daniel Bray in motion, hands to Daniel Bray out
• 29:54
  on that right side. Bray to the forty and then
• 29:56
  dives his way down to about the forty four yard line.
• 30:00
  Be a nice game of six almost seven yards on
• 30:02
  first down for Daniel Brick.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: And when you get around that edge so quick, you
• 30:05
  know he can make this move to the inside and
• 30:07
  it's north south running those tough yards. I mean, that's
• 30:10
  a great, great first down play understanding kind of where
• 30:13
  where to get the most out of what you see
• 30:15
  from the defense.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Bray stays in the ball game on second down and
• 30:18
  three now he motions out of the backfield, motions back
• 30:21
  in again.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: They give it to him again.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Daniel Bray's second level fifty and tackled by his ankles
• 30:27
  at the Cincinnati forty eights. Christian Harrison may have made
• 30:30
  a touchdown saving tackle right there.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Scott Yeah, and Bray looks like a little race car
• 30:35
  out there. You know, I'm gonna run out, no group,
• 30:36
  I'm gonna turn around and come back this way. Here
• 30:38
  you go, and just decisive decisions, you know, And so
• 30:41
  much of it is because he's been playing and he
• 30:42
  has confidence.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Lander Barton again in the right slot for Utah. He
• 30:46
  comes in motion now first and ten from the Cincinnati
• 30:49
  forty eight damp peer to pass in cutting route.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: That's caught. That's to the forty to the thirty nine.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Ryan Davis's favorite targeting team made it New Mexico with
• 30:56
  another catch, and that's a gain of almost nine yards
• 31:00
  on first down.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good throw here. And this is this is about
• 31:03
  the defense being kind of softened up. You know, you
• 31:05
  toss throwing the ball down the field, so these throws
• 31:08
  now are much easier. The balance you're seeing from this
• 31:11
  offense is really helping to create bigger windows and bigger separations.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Actually many in the left slot. This time they took
• 31:17
  a shot deep to him. Last time way Shawn Parker
• 31:20
  split wide to the right hand side on second down
• 31:22
  in one with everything opened in the playbook for you.
• 31:25
  Here from the Cincinnati forty yard line, Devn brings Wasshan
• 31:29
  in motion play action pass looking down the field, throwing
• 31:32
  down the field.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Incomplete thirty pp. How is that not pass interference? My goodness,
• 31:37
  Dallan Bentley was absolutely mugged.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Wow, the defensive fact never turned around to find the football.
• 31:45
  That was kick one sas but he never turned around
• 31:48
  to find it, and that should have been passed interfered.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: One thousand percent.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: And the problem with it two was was Devin needed
• 31:54
  to throw it sooner Peter as He had him wide
• 31:57
  open right from the get go, but he just doesn't
• 31:59
  quite throw it sooner. Now.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: So third down at about just over a yard to
• 32:02
  go here from the forty yard line, they're one for
• 32:04
  three on third down. This will be a two down
• 32:06
  territory if they don't get it. Wayshan Parker is your
• 32:09
  wildcat back here on third down of the yard Devin
• 32:12
  dan Pier comes in motion.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Was Shan takes it himself. He's got the thirty, he's
• 32:16
  got the.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Twenty five, twenty fifteen tat it's a house stone for
• 32:21
  Wayshan Parker.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Touchdown Utah.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Good for Wasshan too. He's just he's just trying so
• 32:30
  hard all year long, and those are tough yards. I mean,
• 32:33
  Cincinnati was right up at the line of scrimmage, and
• 32:35
  it's like, if you're gonna sell out to the run,
• 32:37
  you better you better tackle, You better make sure that
• 32:40
  all the gaps are filled, and they weren't. And Wasshan
• 32:43
  not only did he do a great job, but he
• 32:45
  kind of got yards after contact. It didn't go down
• 32:48
  and that you just love to see that from a
• 32:50
  running But he's a tough little runner, he sure is.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: That's his second longest touchdown run of the year, forty yards,
• 32:55
  as longest as fifty eight.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis on for the PA. That kick is up
• 33:01
  and that kick is good.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: That's a Pepsi touchdown by Wayshawn Parker and Utah leads
• 33:05
  it here fourteen to seven with a minute one to play.
• 33:08
  Here in the first quarter, seven plays seventy five yards,
• 33:12
  though market officially is a thirty nine yard touchdown run
• 33:15
  two fifty two off the clock, and Parker now four
• 33:18

• 33:52
  dampier Man.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: This offensive line is playing absolutely incredible. Devin has all
• 33:56
  day to throw if you want, but even on that
• 33:58
  wildcat touchdown, it was blocked up perfectly, exactly what you want.
• 34:02
  Rayshaun Parker makes one man miss, He's in the end zone.
• 34:05
  This offense is locked in, but even more so Devin
• 34:08
  dan Pierre is locked in. That is good news for us.
• 34:11
  And this offense is so focused. As I said in
• 34:13
  the pre game, they are so focused right now. They're
• 34:15
  being technically sound and they're following through. Absolutely love the
• 34:18
  offensive progressing this. We got to keep it going complimentary
• 34:21
  football here. We need a turnover on defense.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go you and see what Morgan Scalley does to

• 34:28
  has it teet up at his own thirty five, kicking
• 34:31
  south to north on a relatively calm but win night
• 34:35
  here at Rice Secles. This one's returnable, but Logan Wilson
• 34:38
  will let it go over his head and out the
• 34:39
  back of the end zone, and Cincinnati will have it
• 34:42
  first intend at their own twenty five. We've got a

  of you around the country and around the world. And
• 35:10
  I thank you guys for tuning in first and ten
• 35:13
  Utah for their own twenty five I should say, Cincinnati
• 35:16
  for their own twenty five yard line pistol formation.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Utah crowds the line. They handed off to the tail back.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: He's threw a hole into the secondary and that's Walker
• 35:28
  all the way down to the thirty eight, make it
• 35:31
  thirty six yard line. That's a game of eleven and
• 35:33
  a first down tackle made by Tao Johnson.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is his own readon. It's that backside cutoff.
• 35:39
  That's the thing that hurts Utah from time to time.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Now they're going with some tempo.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Are the Cincinnati Bearcats play action past soresby taking a
• 35:47
  shot up that far sideline. Well covered up the far sideline.
• 35:52
  They're trying to get that to caleeb Goody. Excellent coverage
• 35:55
  out there by Blake Cotton in completely go secondetic ten
• 35:58
  clock stopped with thirty three seconds to play.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: You know you play man coverage on the outside, you
• 36:03
  really should have everything handled inside. Utah's just had some
• 36:08
  miss assignments.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Here, thirty three seconds to play.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Here in the first quarter, fourteen to seven Utah second down,
• 36:15
  a Ted Bearcats receiver in motion, hand off tailback, Walker
• 36:23
  cuts back again, running room again. Look out, he's out
• 36:25
  the gate and out the door forty thirty five thirty.
• 36:28
  He'll be cut down and knocked down at the Utah
• 36:30
  twenty four yard line. Utah's run defense has not been
• 36:33
  gap sound. Tonight Elijah Davis made the touchdown saving tackle,
• 36:37
  but that was a huge run of forty one yards.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the backside and lander Barton went for the
• 36:44
  fake with the quarterback and left a gap wide open
• 36:46
  right there. It's happened two times in a row, and
• 36:49
  Cincinnati's done a great job of reading it and really
• 36:53
  hurting this defense.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: That will take us to the end of the first quarter.
• 36:57
  For the first quarter, Utah Cincinnati seven, bear Cats. On
• 37:01
  the march, big thank you to our friends at cr

  the Big O' tires broadcast booth at ry Single Stadium.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: It's Utah fourteen and Cincinnati seven.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: And this is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred of
• 37:31
  the Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: From ry Single Stadium. Get ready for second quarter.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Action fourteen seven to Utah game that i'd been brought
• 37:39
  to you by Vinki Oh. Whether you're at home tonight,
• 37:42
  listening in or watching in curled up in your minky,
• 37:44
  you're here at the stadium. It's always blanket in minky
• 37:47
  seas and get them at their six locations and online
• 37:49
  first quarter numbers. They're good for Utah, but they're also
• 37:53
  really good for Cincinnati. Utah one hundred and seventy four
• 37:55
  yards eighty in the year ninety four on the ground,
• 37:57
  Cincinnati those got one hundred and twenty eight yards nine
• 38:00
  through the air, one nineteen on the ground. They are
• 38:03
  having their way with this Utah defense on the ground
• 38:05
  through a.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Quarter, yeah, and they're just it just doesn't seem to
• 38:08
  be quite the communication or understanding of assignment on certain
• 38:11
  plays here, and it's and it's left some huge holes
• 38:14
  and gaps in this defense. And you know, you didn't
• 38:17
  see much of an adjustment there. I mean, basically, Cincinnati's
• 38:21
  run about the most simple play you could It's just
• 38:23
  it's just his own read. It's basically just handed off
• 38:25
  to the running back and he just picks the gap
• 38:27
  that's open. It's about as basic and as simple as
• 38:30
  you can do. And you usually Utah's really sound about
• 38:34
  handling it. You have to wonder if the speed option
• 38:37
  kind of had an impact from that first drive, because
• 38:40
  they're really keying in on where the quarterback goes.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Aircats are averaging nine point one yards per play. That
• 38:46
  ain't good.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: They've got a first intendant to Utah twenty three chance.
• 38:50
  Williams the running a lot of tailbacks out there tonight,
• 38:53
  with prior their lead tail back out of the ballgame.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Sores Be of the shot.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Gun chance Williams on his right, two receivers left, two
• 39:00
  receivers right for the Bearcats. Utah with four down linemen.
• 39:05
  Soresby takes the snap, keeps it on the right hand side,
• 39:07
  now hands it to Williams on the bacon. Williams not
• 39:10
  going anywhere. He stacked up for maybe a one yard loss.
• 39:13
  A leading the way. Jonas had a nice game so far.
• 39:16
  Tonight Utah read that.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: Well again another zone read and it stayed to the
• 39:19
  play side. It didn't cut back as the cutback's been
• 39:22
  the play that's really hurting Utah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Three receivers right now on second down at eleven, Williams
• 39:28
  stays at the ballgame, Soresby in the shotgun. Sores BEA's
• 39:32
  gonna pass pressure in his face, throws it down the
• 39:34
  side like great coverage. Excellent coverage by Utah. That was
• 39:39
  Blake Cotton on the coverage they were trying to squeeze
• 39:42
  that ball into Jeff Caldwell on other top wide receivers.
• 39:45
  He goes in complete its third down of ball.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: You know that that man coverage has been a pretty
• 39:50
  consistent thing for Utah year.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: The secondary, these TVs have just they've done a tremendous
• 39:55
  job of coverage like that all year.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Mayorcats are one for two one third down. William stays
• 40:00
  in the ballgame. Watch out for Soresby using his legs,
• 40:05
  you cause, shifting around up front, play clock running down.
• 40:12
  Soresby takes the snap pressure coming throwing long.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Toward the end zone incomplete.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: He was throwing it outside looking for Caleb Goodie who
• 40:23
  cut inside and I'll bring up fourth that at eleven.
• 40:26
  I think the wide receiver of the quarterback were on
• 40:28
  two different pages right.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: There, yeah, and of court and he felt the pressure.
• 40:31
  I mean, if he didn't let go of it right
• 40:33
  where he did, you know, he would have had an issue.
• 40:35
  And you know, it just it may have been confusion,
• 40:39
  but he may have just been throwing it away because
• 40:40
  he didn't have time place.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Kicker Stephen Russnack has not missed in the last two
• 40:45
  years he's made his last twenty two field goals.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: He's eleven for eleven this year.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: This will be a forty two yard at tamp high snap,
• 40:52
  the kick is away, it's high end.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Over end, and it's no good. It's no good. He
• 40:58
  missed it wide left.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: You did that on purpose. I tried you did that
• 41:01
  on you game. The media cheeks.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I was I wasn't gonna say anything.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: I was like that. That Bill Riley, he's on his
• 41:07
  game tonight. He is on his He knows what happens
• 41:11
  when the announcer gives the dreadit never missed.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: He gave it now twenty two for his last twenty
• 41:17
  three as he misses it wide left. The nor then
• 41:20
  zone told you, oh, you needed to know. Right there.
• 41:22
  Utah has it now first to ten at their own
• 41:25
  twenty four yard line, fourteen seven. I'm giving you a
• 41:27
  game ball. Really, you're getting a game ball game ball left.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Wow? That was that was That was a pro move
• 41:33
  right there, first in ten.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Utah leading at fourteen seven fourteen seventeen to play here
• 41:40
  in the first half.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: But a good offensive night so far for the Unions.
• 41:44
  They're two for two on drive so far here this evening.
• 41:47
  See what Jason Beck's got dialed up on this drive.
• 41:52
  Rogers is the tailback. Two tight ends, three tight ends
• 41:55
  at a receiver hand off. Rogers picking his way forward
• 41:58
  and picks up call it about three after the twenty
• 42:01
  seven yard line. Jonathan Thompson has been active tonight at linebacker.
• 42:04
  He made the tackle second down at seven coming up. Yeah.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: I think one of the things that you can see
• 42:09
  tonight is even when there is contact, Utah still getting
• 42:13
  some yards. But boy, this offensive line is just doing
• 42:16
  a great job of blocking here so far in his game.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Daniel Braise the tail back, Now Devin Damn Pier in
• 42:21
  the shotgun. Two receivers left, two receivers right on second
• 42:24
  and seven. Brain motions out Damn Pierre looking firing over
• 42:27
  the middle. Always easy money to dall at Bentley, and
• 42:30
  Bentley catches it at about the thirty three yard line.
• 42:34
  Picked up six, he'll be about a yard shot.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Jack Dingle, the middle linebacker, made the tackle that'll be
• 42:40
  third down at one coming up.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Now this again, this is a good sign. Dan Pierre
• 42:44
  sees the guy and gets it to him on target.
• 42:46
  Pretty good throw because they only had three guys rushing
• 42:49
  right there. It's hard to find open spots. And Utah did.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Utah two out of four on third down at their
• 42:55
  own thirty three yard line, Devin by himself and the shotgun.
• 42:59
  Now now they motion bray across the formation. Devon's gonna
• 43:03
  keep it himself. Thirty five and down to the forty
• 43:05
  yard line. He goes, he did one, picked up seven
• 43:09
  and that's a first down. Antoine Peaks Junior and Jack
• 43:11
  Diggle made the tackle. That's a good sign for Utah.
• 43:14
  The Devin Dan Piers able to pick up those tough yards.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Devin just sees a big hole of this
• 43:18
  place counter to the left, and he just sees the
• 43:22
  defense just over pursue and he knows I only got
• 43:25
  to get a yard and he puts his nose in
• 43:26
  there and gets.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: It at the forty yard line. First and ten o'clock
• 43:30
  rolling at twelve forty three to play here the first half,
• 43:33
  first down hand off the Karri Rodgers and the Carey
• 43:37
  picks up three to about the forty three yard line.
• 43:40
  It's tough running inside right now for Utah. They're picking
• 43:42
  up yardage, but Cincinnati not making it easy inside.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Dan Utah has this run heavy formation where they put
• 43:49
  really three tight ends in the game essentially and just
• 43:53
  smash mount football. And boy, if they could just do
• 43:56
  a play action off this every once in a while,
• 43:58
  it would be a big play.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's right now, We'll see Daniel Bray in the ballgame.
• 44:03
  Devon in the shotgun. He's gonna pass on first down,
• 44:06
  looking to his right, firing out to his right looking
• 44:09
  down the field for JJ Buchanan incomplete. Pretty good coverage
• 44:12
  here on the near sideline by Logan Wilson.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Wilson is terrific.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Second season at Cincinnati, played the Kansas State Louisiana Monroe
• 44:22
  in North Texas.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: He is well traveled, He's on his four seat.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Devin's got to throw that sooner, and he's
• 44:28
  got to give Buchanan because he's got a size advantage,
• 44:31
  give him a shot to make a leap and catch.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Three out of five on third down, third down in
• 44:35
  seven here for Utah from their own forty three. Devin
• 44:38
  by himself back pedals to pass a lot of time
• 44:40
  to throw, throwing down the field back shoulder incomplete good
• 44:43
  coverage out there on Larry Simmons. Shakwan Seks had that
• 44:49
  coverage that was just too well covered to even make
• 44:52
  that make that shot count, and that'll bring out fourth
• 44:55
  down to the putt team for the first time tonight
• 44:57
  for Utah.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's a good, fairly decent location. He's
• 45:00
  got a shot on it. But you know, so often
• 45:03
  everything's vertical. When you get man covers. You got to
• 45:06
  maybe get a guy running away from people across the
• 45:08
  field and he's crossing their pick routes.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Nanny Covey back deep to receive this putt at his
• 45:12
  own twelve. This is about the spot they faked it
• 45:15
  last week. Orian Phillips averaging forty three yards a kick,
• 45:19
  We'll get this one away. Nearly blocked, end over end
• 45:22
  kick that goes out of bounds. That's not a good kick.
• 45:25
  That ball's gonna go out of bounds, probably near the
• 45:27
  twenty yard line. Let's see where they market twenty one two,
• 45:31
  twenty three yard line. A bad punt by Orion Phillips
• 45:34
  as almost blocked, might have been good just to get
• 45:37
  that thing off he did. He saved it from being blocked,
• 45:39
  just a thirty three yard punt. Cincinnati will take over
• 45:41
  there when we get back. Tonight's gam being brought to
• 45:44
  you by dough Tara proud sponsored Utah Football.

  Big Old Tires broadcast booth on a Chilli Saturday Night,
• 46:00
  Salt Lake City. It's Utah fourteen and Cincinnati seven. This
• 46:03
  is Utah Football for ESPN seven hundred to E Sports
• 46:06
  Radio Network, Bagy rice E gold Stadium, Bill Riley, Scott,
• 46:11
  Mitchell Stevenson, Sylvester got our whole crew here tonight's our
• 46:14
  lead engineer, not Alonzo, but Matt Roeblez.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, Alonzo's the engineer. He gets us on the air.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: But if we need anything done structurally, Matt Roblez will
• 46:24
  take it. Or you can hit you with a chair too.
• 46:26
  Dave spatafor is scrolling for. I don't know what he's
• 46:30
  scrolling for on his iPad, but Dave's here as well.
• 46:32
  It Sarah's around someplace too. First to ten, Cincinnati trailing
• 46:36
  fourteen to seven from their own twenty three yard line,
• 46:39
  making twenty four yard line for eleven forty nine to
• 46:41
  play here in the first half, Soarsby brings a man
• 46:45
  in motion and now he'll play action. He's being chased
• 46:48
  by Barton and others down the field. Caught, boy, he
• 46:52
  had Caleb Goodie on the run. That was a terrific
• 46:53
  throw and catch by Soresby the Goodie and that'll be
• 46:56
  a first down.
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Soorsby does such a nice job up here of retreating
• 47:01
  and he just retreats long enough and he just just
• 47:04
  a little tiny window there. Boy, that's a big time throw.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: First down in ten out of the thirty six yard
• 47:10
  land a game of twelve on that play walker the
• 47:12
  tail back of the ball. Game they handed the walker.
• 47:15
  Now a play action passed another shot down the fields.
• 47:17
  Got a receiver out there, caught thirty twenty five hut
• 47:20
  of bounds of the Utah twenty. They're big play guy,
• 47:22
  Cyrus Allen all the way down to the Utah twenty
• 47:26
  yard line.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these are two big time throws right here. Of course,
• 47:31
  the receiver gives a quarterback plenty of room right there,
• 47:34
  and he just puts enough air, a lot of air
• 47:36
  on that ball to run out.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Of his forty four yards on the pitch and catch.
• 47:40
  Now inside the red zone may go from the Utah
• 47:42
  nineteen Soresby again with Walker in the backfield. Just like that,
• 47:46
  they're in scoring position. Sores be now motion everywhere, Blacks fly,
• 47:52
  and that's gonna be movement on Cincinnati. I think they're
• 47:55
  gonna get the right guard. But it was about the
• 47:57
  entire offensive line that moved early for the Bearcats. Only
• 48:02
  the center didn't move because he knew the snap count,
• 48:05
  or maybe he didn't.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll start okays Hire count first.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Well, they get King's Doll, king Is Doll the left
• 48:16
  guard instead, but you could have gotten just about anybody on.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: That play for Cincinnati. You wonder if it's the north
• 48:21
  end zone because they're headed in that direction. But it's
• 48:23
  gonna be a passy. Are you gonna challenge these wide receivers?
• 48:26
  These TV's going man coverage.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Ten forty three to play here in the first half,
• 48:30
  fourteen to seven Utah first and fifteen to the Bearcats
• 48:33
  of the uche twenty four. Walker lines up in the
• 48:37
  pistol receivers left and right for Brenda Soarsman. He's gonna
• 48:46
  run the speed option and keep it himself on the
• 48:48
  outside edge. Then the ball comes out is it a
• 48:51
  bump them. The referees have not singled. Let's see where
• 48:56
  the call is are they they're saying he's down. Did
• 49:01
  the ball come out first? They're having a discussion at
• 49:03
  about the twenty yard line.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Unaw off it just.
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: For cover, but the defects the first down Utah showing.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: The app was the man on the spot for the
• 49:15
  University of Utah and if the bumble stands, it will
• 49:19
  be Utah football.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: The first turnover the night on the Bearcats.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: Now we're gonna replay of it here. It's just like
• 49:24
  he's the ball coming out as he's going to the
• 49:26
  ground or is it get a snap off?
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: That's what we need to do.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Quick fakes it going into Oh no, it's down. Yeah
• 49:34
  he gets out down Yeah.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: First in ten Utah of their own nineteen yard line.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Excellent work hopping that ball out by the huge Kyle
• 49:43
  Witntingham said we need some turnovers. They got one right there,
• 49:47
  Parker the tail back of the ball game. As they
• 49:49
  line up first and ten of the nineteen with Devin
• 49:51
  dam Pieriod quarterback Devin to pass looking searching left and right.
• 49:55
  Nobody opened, plenty of time. Now he's gonna scramble to
• 49:57
  the outside. He's got the nineteen.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Twenty spins out of a tackle, twenty two and twenty
• 50:02
  three goes out of pounds. That was a nice pirouette
• 50:05
  to pick up a four on the play. That was
• 50:09
  a very uncanny move.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: But it's his instincts in that stuff is just incredible
• 50:13
  here and it looks like, no, he's not gonna know. Yeah,
• 50:16
  a guy that about broke his knees, Yeah he did.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: That guy whose ankles and knees he broke was Brian
• 50:23
  Simms Junior or the third I should say, the linebacker
• 50:26
  second down and six down for the Utes Rogers the
• 50:30
  tail back. This time, Devon's gonna keep it himself on
• 50:33
  that right hand side. Not gonna get much though, he'll
• 50:36
  pick up three to the twenty six yard line. That's
• 50:38
  tough running inside tackled by Brian Simms, whose knees and
• 50:43
  ankles were nearly broken.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: He said, not this time.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: And third down in short coming up. Yeah, it looks
• 50:48
  like it might be a little more.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can tell Devin isn't that totally sold
• 50:52
  on running inside like that. You know, as good as
• 50:55
  he's playing, I'm not sure he's still at one hundred
• 50:57
  percent running the ball.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Rogers the tail back here on third down Utah. Three
• 51:02
  out of six on third down tonight, they've got to
• 51:04
  get to the twenty nine yard line. Play clock at ten,
• 51:09
  play clock at nine. As they break the huddle, they'll
• 51:11
  have to go quick. Play clock now at five. Damp
• 51:14
  Pier in the shotgun brings a man in motion. They
• 51:17
  run the speed option to the outside. Devin's got first
• 51:19
  down yard It is beyond the thirty and reaches to
• 51:21
  the thirty two yard line.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: For a game of six, get a first.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Down clock running eight forty five to play in the
• 51:27
  first half, fourteen to seven Utah.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think these are better calls on those
• 51:30
  third downs. You know, don't take the ball out of
• 51:32
  your quarterback's hands. Give him some multiple options there. Wide
• 51:35
  receiver came down to a nice block there that really
• 51:38
  set that Edgeway kick it out there and make the
• 51:39
  first first down.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: You cannot miss way Sean Parker tonight. He's wearing pink
• 51:43
  gloves and pink shoes. He lines up next to Devin
• 51:47
  dam Pier, who's in the shotgun.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: On first down, Devon's gonna play action roll to his
• 51:52
  right hand, side take a shot down the field. He's
• 51:54
  got a man open. That's Benny cot dropped. Wow, fans
• 52:00
  thought it should be past interfere and Savior Williams, the
• 52:03
  free safety.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Got there late, got maybe got a hand in there.
• 52:07
  The lave was very close. It's very cleary close.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: They typically won't throw that again. I love the call here.
• 52:12
  Devin's just gotta plan his feet just a little further
• 52:15
  and then got down. But he's got to come back
• 52:17
  for the ball. You gotta really fight for it, and
• 52:20
  so many of these guys try to catch it in
• 52:21
  their arms. Go up in the air and catch it
• 52:23
  with your hands.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Second down in ten Utah, their own thirty two, after
• 52:27
  the missed opportunity down the field, motion to back out
• 52:30
  of the backfield, Devn throwing to the outside, caught there
• 52:32
  by Ryan Davis and that a bounds at the thirty
• 52:35
  eight yard line for a gate of six. What's that
• 52:38
  now for Ryan Davis and I that's four catches for
• 52:40
  fifty eight yards and Ryan Davis.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: He's kind of wincing on the sideline there and tell
• 52:44
  you that's that's one of those plays where Christa's.
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: Time out for an injury to an offensive player.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's over on the sideline, but I think he's incapacitated.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Looks like he got up. He's just walking now he
• 52:56
  can't stay. He can come back into the back. Now
• 52:58
  he's gotta stay. After a play, Bird was gonna come in.
• 53:00
  He went back out as well. Third down in four
• 53:03
  Utah four out of seven. On third down, Daniel Brays
• 53:06
  the tailback two tights and two wides here for Utah
• 53:09
  from their own thirty eight yard line. Devin to pass
• 53:12
  looking to the outside, throws complete, Daniel Bray forty on
• 53:16
  his feet forty five fifty Cincinnati territory and out of
• 53:19
  bounds in the Bearcat forty one yard line.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray out of the backfield. A great read by
• 53:24
  damp Pierre in a Utah first down. Yeah, he's so
• 53:27
  close to breaking that right there.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: And just a tremendous job of keeping his feet make
• 53:31
  the guy miss keep your feet, nice job. And then
• 53:34
  right there just oh man.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Christian Harrison again, the son of Rodney Harrison, makes the
• 53:39
  touchdown saving tackle first down and ten damp pier by
• 53:42
  himself and the gun this time. Now he's gonna step
• 53:45
  to the line and change the play plenty of time
• 53:47
  on the play clock. Man in motion is Daniel Bray
• 53:52
  play action look for Devin damp Pierre, all kinds of
• 53:55
  time looking down the field, bu Cannon. There's pass interference.
• 54:00
  He was tackled at the five.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Yard line JJ Buchanan.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Otherwise it would have been a big play Daniel James
• 54:06
  who got tangled up with him.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: And that'll be a pass interference on the Bearcats. And
• 54:10
  it's a mismatch, you know, and you just give him
• 54:12
  a chance to make a play on it. And he
• 54:15
  does such a nice job of fighting back for the.
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: Balls defense twenty five fifteen penalty first down.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: So that will move the ball from the forty yard
• 54:26
  line down to the twenty five yard line, first and ten.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: And I love that Utah is taking these shots of
• 54:31
  telling you it's I'm just so happy to see it.
• 54:34
  And it's just going to continue to pay dividends here
• 54:36
  in his game. But nice job by Buchanan to come
• 54:38
  back to the ball and make it kind of not questionable,
• 54:41
  you know, very definitive.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: They'll market at the twenty six yard line exactly seven
• 54:46
  minutes to play here in the first half, fourteen to seven.
• 54:49
  Utah and driving on the Bearcats, damp Here and Parker
• 54:53
  of the gun.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Davis goes in motion.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Parker gets the handoff wayshon to the twenty five, stays
• 54:59
  on his feet.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: And that's it.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Picked up about a yard yard and a half. Cincinnati
• 55:05
  comes up with a tackle big up second down along.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, was Shawn. It just runs hard, you know, very patient.
• 55:12
  There not a lot there, but boy gonna give you
• 55:15
  those tough yards play just downhill. He's just such a
• 55:18
  great hard running running back.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Six carries sixty yards now for Wasshaun Parker second down
• 55:24
  and nine damp Pierre and Parker again of the gun
• 55:27
  for the twenty four yard line of Cincinnati. Devin Hams
• 55:31
  Parker bouncing outside, now back inside inside the twenty and
• 55:35
  down right there, so a gain of almost five yards
• 55:39
  and Twin Peaks, Junior Big twelve's top rated safety, made
• 55:43
  the tackle third down at manageable coming up here for Utah.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: You know, dan Or Wyshawn makes a nice move there,
• 55:49
  And so much of that is when you get in
• 55:51
  the field the groove of the game, you start making
• 55:53
  moves like that.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Utah five out of eighty on third down, two for
• 55:56
  two on this drive. Third down at a long four.
• 56:00
  Gotta get to the sixteen yard line. Damp peering the
• 56:03
  gun again, takes the snap, hands Parker, Wayshan through and
• 56:07
  he'll be short or maybe.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Right at it.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Barside official says, right at the sixteen yard line. Near
• 56:13
  side has it marked inside. Let's see what they say.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: Might have to measure this one.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: That's a first down, says the referee. I balled it
• 56:23
  and said moove the chains.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: So a nice heart run by Wayshan Parker has utah
• 56:28
  in the can interview Credit Union red zone.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that official licked his thumb eyeballed that thing.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I said, I think we got a first down there,
• 56:36
  and they did.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Plock running at five point fifteen to play first and
• 56:40
  ten for the Bearcat sixteen yard line. Wildcat quarterback wy
• 56:44
  Sean Parker, he's gonna keep it way Sean picking his
• 56:47
  way forward.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: That's there that time stacked up in the line of
• 56:51
  scrimmage for no game. Yeah, you're gonna.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: Fool him for a minute, but after a while they're
• 56:56
  just gonna sell out. They know Wyshawn's well, they.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Can't miss him either. He's the pink gloves he's got.
• 57:03
  Maybe is that the coorp No, no, no, that's that's
• 57:04
  the running back. He's got the big gloves.
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: Guy Travis Kelsey says, you got to wear the right
• 57:08
  gloves so they can't see you. Hold it.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Damp here in the gun play action, roll to his
• 57:14
  right hand side, looking down the field, directing traffic, looking, looking, looking,
• 57:17
  he's gonna have to throw it, and finally does out
• 57:20
  of bounds that he get it back to the line
• 57:22
  of scrimmage. I don't think he did, and I think
• 57:24
  that's gonna be grounding. Let's see where the ref Oh,
• 57:27
  they may give him a favorable Mark Raad here Cincinnati's
• 57:30
  saying no, oh, they're saying the referee on this.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Side says that. The side judge says he got into
• 57:34
  the fifteen. That's one yard beyond pressure by Antoine peaked
• 57:38
  that time. They got fortunate. He really needed to get
• 57:40
  rid of that sooner.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot sooner. And I mean, I know he's
• 57:44
  waiting and but but there's not a lot he's doing
• 57:47
  that's really uncovering people. When you sprint to that side,
• 57:50
  you really cut the field down.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: It's hard to get a guy open. Third down and
• 57:54
  ten from the sixteen. Utah three for three on this
• 57:57
  drive on third down, Devin Looking throwing the fake to
• 58:00
  the end zone up cut incomplete. Was that Creed Winnemore
• 58:07
  it was. They said he was out of bounds, did
• 58:10
  not make the catch. And I think the field goal
• 58:12
  team will come out here now for Utah.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: It's close. I mean it's it's a close throw. But again,
• 58:18
  you just you want to you know, nothing against Creed Winnemore,
• 58:21
  but he's.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: Not a mismatch least five foot eleven.
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not. Eh, I don't I'm not crazy about
• 58:28
  that call.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: Ryan Phillip's late getting on the field of the a
• 58:32
  field goal attempt here for Utah calling himbout a thirty
• 58:34
  three yard attempt with the left hash for Dylan Curtis.
• 58:38
  Outside of one game this year, Dylan's been terrific for Utah.
• 58:42
  Low snap, the hold is good, the kick is driven
• 58:44
  through and good. That was a line drive. Didn't get
• 58:48
  much on it, but enough to get it through and
• 58:50
  that field goal is good. With four twenty three to
• 58:52
  play here the first half Utah seventeen and Cincinnati seven.

• 59:42
  They got to be aware of this too, you know.
• 59:43
  Cincinnati still has their timeouts. But nice drive.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Score empty backfield for Devin Dan Pierre on first and ten.
• 59:51
  Now he brings Daniel Bray in motion, hands to Daniel
• 59:53
  Bray thirty. Oh, he's built it at the thirty five
• 59:57
  yard line. Absolutely blown up by Trayvon Gola Collard. He
• 1:00:02
  turned that corner, got five yards and then boom down
• 1:00:04
  he went.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: It's just fun to watch him go around that corner
• 1:00:08
  because he gets there quickly, and I mean he's he's
• 1:00:11
  on the defense before they even know what to do.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: Sega down in five three twenty o'clock running to play
• 1:00:18
  here in the first half for the thirty five yard line.
• 1:00:21
  Way Shaun Parker running the Wildcat. Now he's gonna hand
• 1:00:24
  it the dam pier. Who's gonna throw it. He's got
• 1:00:26
  a man down the field looking open cot twenty yard line.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: That's his guy, Ryan Davis. My little trick oration hit
• 1:00:37
  a big play to the.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Bear Cat nineteen.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: That's his chuse playing and a really good throw. But
• 1:00:43
  Ryan Davis adjusted this ball because he's running up the
• 1:00:46
  field and damn Pierre throws it to the outside. This
• 1:00:48
  is that that counter off of was Shan you know, running.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: The ball forty seven yards into the Canyon View Credit
• 1:00:56
  Union red zone.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: First and ten.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Utah flags fly and what do we have a little motion?
• 1:01:01
  I think on the ut to the left hand side.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 6: Well start offense number fifty two five yard penalty.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: First time I said the left side, it was the
• 1:01:13
  right side, the other left hand side. Michael Mokafisi at
• 1:01:16
  right guard gets called for.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: That just depends on where you're looking for him. You know,
• 1:01:20
  it could be right that left the other one.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: So first down at fifteen outside the canyon if you
• 1:01:25
  have Credit Union red zone. Now back at the twenty
• 1:01:27
  four yard line. Boy, Jason Beck set that play up beautifully.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: Didn't He really did, because Cincinnati was just selling out
• 1:01:33
  to way Shan Wayshan in the backfield. Devin Dan Pierre
• 1:01:36
  hands off way Sean. He's to the twenty and then
• 1:01:39
  he's knocked down and then the ball comes out. No,
• 1:01:42
  he stays on his feet.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Oh goodness, he pinballs around it gets all the way
• 1:01:47
  to the eighteen yard line.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: He picks up six.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: You know, a week ago we just talked about boy,
• 1:01:53
  they just need to have someone. Oh wow, what a
• 1:01:55
  great job there, and just keeps going and just keeps
• 1:01:57
  going and then got a rappopor guys missing. But I
• 1:02:00
  love the effort there and just so good to see
• 1:02:03
  someone other than the quarterback.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Emrge.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: This is a two minute timeout.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: Wishan might be that guy that's emerged as that back
• 1:02:12
  for Utah.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Nine carries seventy four yards two minute time out here
• 1:02:15
  at Rice Cycle Stadium, Utah with a second down and
• 1:02:18
  nine at the Bearcat eighteen when we get back seventeen
• 1:02:21
  to seven utes. This is Utah Football for ESPN seven
• 1:02:24
  hundred and the Youth Sports.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: You were listening to.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 9: Utah Football brought to you by Smith's on ESPN seven
• 1:02:32
  hundred and the Ute Sports Network.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Big thank you our sponsored a nights game dough Tara.
• 1:02:38
  Also to our friends in bud Light. Easy to drink, it,
• 1:02:40
  easy to enjoy. At seventeen to seven Utah at two
• 1:02:43
  minutes to play here in the first half, Utah's got
• 1:02:45
  it second and nine at the Bearcat eighteen yard line.
• 1:02:48
  But one thing you've got to do here, Scott, though,
• 1:02:50
  if you're Utah, you just have to be smart. Don't
• 1:02:53
  force anything. You're gonna get points out of this drive,
• 1:02:55
  and you're getting the ball coming out here, so don't
• 1:02:57
  take any undue risks, right.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, you do want to score here, and and
• 1:03:02
  I'm sure Cincinnati call a time out if you don't,
• 1:03:04
  you don't get a lot on third down. But this
• 1:03:07
  is typically where Devin damp Pierre runs the ball, and
• 1:03:11
  I'm not sure how much of that Utah wants to
• 1:03:13
  do with him, so may have to come with a
• 1:03:17
  different option.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: I like him getting out on the edge. He's been
• 1:03:19
  really good out there to I give him that run
• 1:03:21
  pass option.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: That that play where they do the screen and a
• 1:03:26
  half and they late slip that tight end up the sideline.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: I'd be a good call.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Right here, Lander Barton in the ball game for Utah
• 1:03:32
  and Nakarie Rodgers, don't Dallon Bentley damp Pierre and the
• 1:03:41
  gun Rogers next to it. Simmons wide to the left
• 1:03:45
  hand side, hand off, bouncing in, bouncing out. That's Daniel
• 1:03:51
  Gray inside the tan and Dan to about the eight
• 1:03:54
  yard line. Make a nine yard line and maybe a
• 1:03:58
  late flag in it was a base asked to get called.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like Bray kind of got someone tugged
• 1:04:04
  on his face mask a little bit there.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: It's at the nine right now, almost eight yard line.
• 1:04:08
  This will be half the distance in the first in
• 1:04:09
  goal for Utah if it is indeed a face mask.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Here's the referee.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 8: Taking his time person to fall face mask defense in
• 1:04:22
  the five less from the end of the rue on a.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: Matter first down.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: They got Christian Harrison with that one. I respect his
• 1:04:29
  dramatic pause. That's our referee, Luke Richmond selling that win. Well,
• 1:04:35
  this one will go down at about the five four
• 1:04:37
  and a half yard line, first in goal.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Utah.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what's really stood out is these running backs. Man,
• 1:04:41
  they're running so hard tonight. Daniel Bray, I don't know
• 1:04:44
  that he knows his speed other than just full speed.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: The six carries thirty yards now for Bray. Jumbo package
• 1:04:50
  here for Utah damp here under center. Now Devn's going
• 1:04:55
  to change the play. All beef in there except for
• 1:04:57
  Nakari Rodgers. They handed to Rogers left side. Rogers pushing
• 1:05:01
  his feet toward the goal line, and it gets to
• 1:05:03
  about the one and a half a gain of three
• 1:05:06
  and a half yards on the play for Nacari Rodgers.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Second down and goal coming up.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: The call time out now probably a good good.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Call there by time out Cincinnati.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati is trying to second time out, trying to preserve
• 1:05:21
  some time there. But you know, I'm sure, I'm sure
• 1:05:24
  Utah here want'd be really good though, is just slipping
• 1:05:26
  a just play action out of that jumbo. Send the
• 1:05:29
  tight end to the corner and the guy to the
• 1:05:31
  flat tight end will be so wide open you won't
• 1:05:34
  know what to do.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: Well, they've got three of them on the field and
• 1:05:36
  they're all in there selling out the run. They've also
• 1:05:39
  got a big defensive lineman acting as the full back.
• 1:05:42
  That's Cioni in there. Did a great job as the
• 1:05:45
  is the lead black backet blocker for Nacari Rodgers. Clock
• 1:05:49
  stop at the minute twenty four to play second down
• 1:05:52
  and goal with the two one and a half really
• 1:05:54
  for Utah with a minute twenty four to play before
• 1:05:56
  halftime and a seventeen to seven Utah lead.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's you know the other The other theory is
• 1:06:07
  is to continue to run the ball.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying not try try not to score.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: I mean you want to say, if you're gonna score,
• 1:06:15
  shoes to score because it's hard to score down here.
• 1:06:19
  And so when you when you get it right now
• 1:06:21
  in the game, if it's late in the game, it's different.
• 1:06:23
  But forcing Cincinnati to use those timeouts, burn some time.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: Jumbo package again, Nakari Rodgers on a knee in the backfield,
• 1:06:32
  Damn pier under center, flags fly, and that's going to
• 1:06:36
  be on Cincinnati. I think Cincinnati was trying to simulate
• 1:06:39
  the snapcam, trying to do something, you know, anything to
• 1:06:42
  try to get the offense to to move.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 8: Offside defense with contact number two after this goal second down, you.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: Know it's one thing to be off size, but with
• 1:06:55
  contact who that is a gregious right there?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: That's a no no about AKA the defensive tackle who's
• 1:07:02
  acting as a fullback.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: We'll just call him SI one for now. And second
• 1:07:07
  down at the one yard line. Now, second in gold,
• 1:07:11
  Devon under center, strengthen the right hand side, jumping in
• 1:07:15
  the neutral zone. Cincinnati, keep going. Devon's gonna change the
• 1:07:19
  play now. He turns around and talks hands to Rogers.
• 1:07:22
  Nacari buries his head, goes toward the end zone. Is
• 1:07:26
  he in waiting for the signal it's a touchdown? Neither
• 1:07:33
  official on either end made a signal for a touchdown,
• 1:07:35
  but Rogers got in and that's his game rutching touchdown
• 1:07:40
  of the year.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Nakari Rodgers punches it.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: In from a yard down and with a minute sixteen
• 1:07:45
  to play, mind it nineteen to play before halftime, you're
• 1:07:48
  talk stems there leading to twenty three to seven.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew it was a touchdown because the booth
• 1:07:52
  next to us, which is the coaches booth, I could
• 1:07:54
  hear the pounding on the table so we knew it
• 1:07:58
  was good.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: I always like to see the official actually signal it,
• 1:08:01
  and neither guy on either sideline who had the look
• 1:08:03
  down the line called him. But he is indeed in
• 1:08:05
  six plays, seventy yards to twenty five off the game clock,
• 1:08:08
  the big play, the throw of the gadget played downfield
• 1:08:11
  the Ryan Davis, and that Pepsi touchdown extends the lead
• 1:08:15
  to twenty three to seven.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Pat coming up here for Dylan Curtis. What have we
• 1:08:25
  got going on here? I'm not sure. Maybe the play
• 1:08:31
  clock being reset now we're ready to go.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: Ryan Phillips will hold it for Dylan Curtis, trying to
• 1:08:44
  extend this lead to seventeen before halftime. Snap from Logan
• 1:08:50
  cast or high, put down well and driven through the
• 1:08:53
  uprights by Dylan Curtis, and that makes a twenty four
• 1:08:56
  to seven Utah with a minute eighteen minute nineteen before halftime.
• 1:09:01
  That was just simply big boy football on that touchdown.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: And yeah, and it's you know, and Carry's just such
• 1:09:06
  a good, hard nose runner right there. He's hit before
• 1:09:09
  he gets to the line of scrimmage, but just they
• 1:09:11
  don't hit him in the legs. You hit guys up
• 1:09:13
  high and they can still churn those legs. Then it's
• 1:09:17
  just an attitude. Who wants to get in it?
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: And Scott, how about this for Balton?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: You thus got three hundred thirteen yards of total offense,
• 1:09:24
  nine through the air, one fifty four on the ground.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: That's good balance. Yeah, that's the stuff that will put
• 1:09:30
  a smile on coach Whittingham's face. You know he loves
• 1:09:32
  that balance, that balance on offense defense. But I'd love
• 1:09:36
  the the play calling and just the different looks and
• 1:09:41
  how they've taken advantage of some over aggressiveness and they've
• 1:09:45
  shown throwing the ball in that wildcat formation, which is
• 1:09:50
  so demoralizing for a defense when you could do that
• 1:09:53
  kind of stuff.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: New return man back to the Bearcats no longer Logan
• 1:09:56
  Wilson had said Isaiah Johnson, saphomore wide receiver answer from
• 1:10:00
  Western Carolina. See if Dylan Curtis even gives him an
• 1:10:04
  opportunity to return this kick, del Zilla, as his dad
• 1:10:08
  calls him, puts his right foot into it.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: There won't be a return.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: He got all of that with two timeouts remaining, Cincinnati
• 1:10:17
  will have it first intend at their own twenty five,
• 1:10:19
  and they're not going to take a knee here, Scott.
• 1:10:21
  They can't afford him.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: And they got a quarterback that you know is very
• 1:10:24
  confident in throwing the football. See now, if Utah plays
• 1:10:28
  plays coverage instead of that tight man single safety high.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Look Soursby comes out with Walker as his tailback, the
• 1:10:37
  red shirt senior Wow. Three receivers right one to the
• 1:10:41
  left hand side. This has been their general formation pretty
• 1:10:46
  much all night long. Utah with a four man down front.
• 1:10:51
  First intent bear Cats from their own twenty five. He'll
• 1:10:55
  pass outside ball, deflected, intercept.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 5: It, intercept it inside the twenty and down of the sixteen,
• 1:11:02
  still on his feet, and finally inside the five to
• 1:11:05
  the four Smith Stoke.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Now they're saying the ball was fumbled. Who recovered it?
• 1:11:12
  Cincinnati thinks they recovered it. Oh man, that would have
• 1:11:16
  been a huge turn of events.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: I think they tried to pitch the ball when they
• 1:11:20
  when they intercepted it.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: They unpilot and Cincinnati does indeed have the football all
• 1:11:28
  the way back of the four yard line.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 8: And I think going on the field is an interception. Yeah,
• 1:11:34
  then a fumble that was recovered by Cincinnati. If you
• 1:11:37
  first down at that spy of the recovery.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: The ball was deflected at the line of scrimmage. Snowden
• 1:11:42
  came up with it.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 6: The game fuck the start on my saying though he
• 1:11:46
  was his knee.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: Down, I think you take a look at this. I
• 1:11:50
  don't know if his knee wasn't down before the.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Ball came out. I gotta take a look at that one.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: I think you're gonna at least take a look at it.
• 1:11:56
  I don't know as a bank bank play. His knee
• 1:11:59
  hit then the ball came out almost simultaneously.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: The ball's at the three yard line. I'd call it
• 1:12:04
  time out of vis coach winning hand.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: If I'm Kyle winning him, I take this time out
• 1:12:08
  right here.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: I think he's talking to the official.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: He's like first intendant to three yard line. They're not
• 1:12:14
  gonna do it. They're not gonna review it.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: Oh wow.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Soresby, out of his own end zone, hands it to Walker.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Walker has swarmed under it about the seven yard line,
• 1:12:22
  and now Kyle takes a time out. That's a gain
• 1:12:28
  of about three and a half yards on first down,
• 1:12:31
  second down at seven coming up.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 8: Charge time out, Utah, it's their first and half. Have
• 1:12:37
  you a thirty second timeout? Please reset the game plot
• 1:12:41
  a fifty one second that.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: Was just unfortunately Smith ball is it's out?
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: Was it out?
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was out before he filled out by much now,
• 1:12:52
  but it was us by a wide receiver. Yeah, instead
• 1:12:56
  of Utah having it first intended about the twelve yard line.
• 1:13:00
  It's now second down at seven for Cincinnati had thrown six.
• 1:13:04
  Utah has two timeouts remaining here. Well, Cincinnati even put
• 1:13:08
  the ball in the air. Well, they've just try and
• 1:13:10
  run this thing out.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know you after dear disaster.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: That by the way, the third ball deflected at the
• 1:13:16
  light of scrimmage tonight by Utah.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: You know, Smith's just trying to make some extra yards
• 1:13:23
  and just you know, makes a good play. But maybe
• 1:13:27
  and he's kind of spinning and twisting. He's still got
• 1:13:30
  to cover that.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: Ball though, second down six and a half soarsby out
• 1:13:33
  of the shotgun, kind of handed to Walker again. Walker
• 1:13:38
  is bouncing off a tackle down to about the nine
• 1:13:41
  and a half yard line.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Utah takes another time out with or do they they
• 1:13:48
  don't now they do now thirty eight seconds I assume
• 1:13:54
  the first time.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 8: Utah, So second and a half your thirty second time out,
• 1:14:00
  please reset the game flock forty seven seconds zero four seven.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: I thought, so they almost nine seconds went off that clock,
• 1:14:09
  so to be third down at about three here, you
• 1:14:12
  taught me it's a stop. If they can get a stop,
• 1:14:13
  they'll get the ball back. If not, it'll be the
• 1:14:15
  end of the half.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: I always appreciate a coach that is just is very
• 1:14:22
  masterful about time management. I think Cincinnati being backed up
• 1:14:26
  right here, you know, it's the right call to to
• 1:14:29
  call time out, and it's it's a long field to
• 1:14:31
  go here, but you know, to get to make it work,
• 1:14:34
  you gotta get him off the field.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: You and I called the game against the organ Ducks
• 1:14:37
  here where he used those timeouts masterfully with every seconds
• 1:14:41
  remaining in the half.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: Yep, this is third down in three for Cincinnati. Will
• 1:14:49
  they throw it or will they keep it on the ground?
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: Speed option?
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Covey's the tailback, Soresby's gonna throw fires, the incut caught
• 1:14:58
  receivers got it out be on the twenty to the
• 1:15:00
  twenty two. Noah Jennings And that was a gutsy call,
• 1:15:04
  and that's a first down, and that will probably take
• 1:15:06
  us pretty close to the end of the first at
• 1:15:08
  Sinsinnati's gonna hurry up here. They do have two timeouts
• 1:15:10
  remaining inside of forty seconds of the clock, running down
• 1:15:14
  soresby play action Sores be fires outside caught again by
• 1:15:18
  Noah Jennings, just shy of the thirty tackled right there
• 1:15:21
  in a timeout taken by Cincinnati with thirty seconds to play.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a nice play there to keep him in
• 1:15:27
  bounce and to not give him any extra yards.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 6: Here, charge timeout, Cincinnati. This is the second and the
• 1:15:34
  half thirty second timeout.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, still still got to the full field. You know,
• 1:15:39
  you can throw you don't have to throw it to
• 1:15:41
  the boundary, so you have the whole field to play here.
• 1:15:45
  Big thing for Utah is just keep everything in front
• 1:15:47
  of you, keep them in bounds, make them you know,
• 1:15:50
  because it's it's time. Time is your enemy and you
• 1:15:52
  just got to got to know how to use it
• 1:15:55
  in your favor. And it's just keeping stuff in front
• 1:15:57
  of you.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: If you're wondering how far they've got to get to
• 1:15:59
  be in Russnacks range. His long this year as forty six.
• 1:16:03
  His career long is fifty four yards. He missed earlier
• 1:16:10
  and that stepped to twenty two in a row streak
• 1:16:13
  by the kicker from Cincinnati transfer from Charlotte. Thirty seconds
• 1:16:18
  remained first to ten Cincinnati, and it's second to two Cincinnati.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: They can quite get to the thirty one yard line.
• 1:16:24
  He's at the twenty nine.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: Soresby's got the yard and he's got the guys that
• 1:16:29
  can go deep. A bunch of set of receivers on
• 1:16:31
  the right hand side, three of them to be exact.
• 1:16:34
  Soresby and Covey in the shotgun Utah shuffling around up front.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: Soresby's gonna pass, throws it out in the flat. Oh,
• 1:16:42
  he's upbended quickly. Smith snow took the legs out of
• 1:16:47
  Maddy Covey incomplete. It goes third down and two.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost. Oh he's close there. Good play by
• 1:16:54
  smith though, and they blitzed and they made him throw
• 1:16:58
  the ball quick. And that's that's what you gotta do.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't mention it.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: If it's smith Snowe then his first interception of the year,
• 1:17:05
  third down at two two out of five off third
• 1:17:07
  down of the Bearcats, come you in the backfield. Sores
• 1:17:11
  B takes the snap, pressure coming in cut caught thirty five,
• 1:17:15
  still on his feet to the outside and banged down
• 1:17:18
  at about the forty yard line, and Cincinnati will take
• 1:17:20
  its final time out with twenty seconds to play.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: And that was gentle on the sideline for it.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: Quarterback was acting like they didn't.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: There's this time out for an injured player of the defense.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: Ah, does that require a ten second runoff? Maybe for
• 1:17:41
  Cincinnati to lose that used that last time. It does not,
• 1:17:43
  By the way, it would be nice if it did.
• 1:17:49
  Injured Utah player being helped to the sideline as jo Yeah,
• 1:17:53
  haven't really called John Henry's.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: Name tonight, No, Well, so many of the throws have
• 1:17:57
  been so quick yep, hard to get up field. Sack
• 1:18:00
  at the quarterback yeh.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: First and ten Cincinnati hit their own forty yard line.
• 1:18:04
  They need at least another twenty maybe twenty five yards
• 1:18:08
  to get it field goal range.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: Soresby to pass fires.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: To the outside high and caught shy of midfield and
• 1:18:15
  out of bounds. Next all crap. That was Caleb Goodie
• 1:18:22
  and they take their final time out to the Bearcats.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: With eight seconds remaining. Here are the first half.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 8: Shart timeout Cincinnati. This is their final time of the half.
• 1:18:33
  Will be a full timeout.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 6: Please resent the game clock to ten seconds once again.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: One zero okay, once again the coverage was good for you.
• 1:18:41
  That was just a really good throw and good he
• 1:18:43
  went high to get it, used all six to one
• 1:18:45
  of his frame.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not only a good throw. I mean you're
• 1:18:47
  on the far hash, you're on the far left hash here,
• 1:18:49
  and he throws it all the way to the boundary
• 1:18:51
  on the other side about you know, ten yards down
• 1:18:53
  the field. I mean, that's that's almost a a you know,
• 1:18:56
  thirty five forty throw down the field. And so that's
• 1:19:00
  that's an arm that's uh, you know, next level. So
• 1:19:06
  now it's you know, now it's kind of dangerous. You
• 1:19:08
  can run out of the of the you know, the
• 1:19:13
  quarter here. You know, if you get the ball in
• 1:19:15
  bounds and you won't have enough time to clock it.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: They probably need to pick up still about thirteen or
• 1:19:23
  fourteen yards to give their kicker a real chance.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Ten seconds remain, no timeouts for the Bearcats can't really
• 1:19:34
  run it either. Manny coves your tailback three receivers at
• 1:19:38
  a tight end in the pattern. As you toss shuffles
• 1:19:40
  around up front, they'll rush five here they come with
• 1:19:44
  an extra rusher on Soresby. He's throwing it long up
• 1:19:47
  the sideline, had a man out of bounds trying to
• 1:19:50
  get that ball to Caldwell. Caldwell got a step on
• 1:19:54
  Cotton with that thrill. Let him out of bounds. Now
• 1:19:57
  there's four seconds remaining and it's Hail Mary time. If
• 1:19:59
  your sensing, yeah this is you can be careful right here.
• 1:20:02
  You know for the trick play, you know, the lateral play,
• 1:20:06
  the ladder play, ladder looking ladder, hooking ladder. I never
• 1:20:10
  knows if hooking lattin idol ladder, I honestly don't know.
• 1:20:14
  Your Dolphins ranted well with Tony Nathan and somebody else.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: We never called it that, but it was.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: I'll play of the half here for the Bearcats. From
• 1:20:25
  their side of midfield, sores Be buying time, dumps it
• 1:20:28
  off over the middle of Manny Covey. That'll just be
• 1:20:30
  some nice yards added to his total. He's tackled at
• 1:20:33
  the Utah forty two by Smith Stot and that takes
• 1:20:36
  us to halftime here at Ricycle Stadium. Well, last week
• 1:20:40
  was a pretty complete first half by the Ute, so
• 1:20:42
  was this one. They leaded here at halftime twenty four
• 1:20:45
  to seven and with the seventeenth ranks Cincinnati Bearcats. You'll
• 1:20:49
  get a word downstairs, head coach Kyle Whittingham sly will grant.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 9: It is where the utes live on game day and
• 1:20:56
  every day you're tuned to ka L North Salt Lake
• 1:21:01
  ESPN seven hundred and ninety two.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: To one a half am.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: So you're taking shots deep.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: How do you lack the execution of the offensive game play?
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: Love?
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 7: Evan's playing lights out. We're running the ball violently with
• 1:21:11
  the running backs. Receivers are making plays down in the field,
• 1:21:15
  and the old line are doing a great job in
• 1:21:17
  both protection and run blocking.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: So the name of the game on defenses and stop
• 1:21:21
  Brendon soorzeny.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: How have you liked that?
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: And how do you keep that going in the second half.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 7: We're doing a great job in the first half. Two
• 1:21:25
  advancut and come on with that interception. But defenders playing
• 1:21:28
  lights out, benks coach, so.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: I, Kyle, thank you so very much.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: It's halftime here at Rice EQL Stadium on the first
• 1:21:36
  day of November in the Year of Our Lord, twenty
• 1:21:39
  twenty five in Utah leads Cincinnati twenty four to seven.
• 1:21:43
  We're back next with the America First Credit Union halftime show.
• 1:21:45
  This is Utah Football ESPN seven hundred and Youth Sports
• 1:21:49
  Radio Network. Russnack's got a teed up at his own
• 1:21:51
  thirty five ray Sean plover back deep to receive this
• 1:21:54
  with Otto Tia as his off return man. We run
• 1:21:59
  the way of the second half your rice Cycle Stadium,
• 1:22:01
  and that will be a touchback and that will send
• 1:22:03
  us down to the sideline for a Ken Garth sideline update.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: Sly, what was halftime messaging? Everything was slowly steady. Everybody
• 1:22:11
  made their updates, day focused.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: Day, locked in.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: It's more of controlling the.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: Emotions, was the message at halftime. You know, keep it easy.
• 1:22:19
  We haven't won this game. Everybody's stay down, tasked, do it.
• 1:22:22
  The best update is Spencer Faro, John Henry Daily and.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: John Lea who got banged up at the end of
• 1:22:28
  the first half all day.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: The boy and ready here in the second half.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: And I will take a look out there to make
• 1:22:33
  sure Spencer's out there to begin things here at right
• 1:22:36
  tackle that he is first intent for Utah their own
• 1:22:39
  twenty five way. Sean Parker's operated with those pink shoes
• 1:22:42
  and gloves tonight is the wildcat will keep it himself
• 1:22:45
  on the right hand side. He is going to be
• 1:22:47
  absolutely swallowed up a yard behind the line of scrimmage.
• 1:22:51
  Cincinnati is absolutely selling out to that. Jonathan Thompson, the
• 1:22:56
  will linebacker, just got this kind of gobble him up.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, Wyshon probably should have handed the ball to.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: To I don't know if that's even an option.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: The Kari Rodgers in the ballgame. Now for Utah, as
• 1:23:12
  there's movement on that left side. Cincinnati jumped in the
• 1:23:15
  neutral zone and then Caleb Lomu jumped too. Let's see
• 1:23:18
  what the referees say. I think this will be encroachment
• 1:23:21
  on the defense. You hope that he didn't get back
• 1:23:23
  before he moved.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: Micah Coleman is the offending party.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 8: Offside defense four as a very the Neutra zone, causing
• 1:23:33
  the off.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: Penalty.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: First out, so five yards five three yards for Utah.
• 1:23:40
  Makes it second down at about six yards to go
• 1:23:44
  from the twenty four yard line, make it the twenty
• 1:23:48
  nine yard line. Devon in the shotgun motions rogers out
• 1:23:53
  of the backfield.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: He'll throw throw.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: Out to his left hand side, caught there by Ryan
• 1:23:58
  Davis beyond the forty and after the forty three yard
• 1:24:01
  line goes Ryan Davis. That'll be a Utah first down
• 1:24:03
  coverage on the play by Sanks with a good quick
• 1:24:06
  throw again by Devin dam Pier.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a candy candy store throw. It's you go
• 1:24:10
  in and you want to get everything in the store
• 1:24:12
  and everything tastes good. Everyone's open on those plays. That's
• 1:24:16
  that's good. That happened last night.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did Burt Biglin in the ball game? Now for you, Tom,
• 1:24:21
  We've seen Bird a few times in the ball game tonight.
• 1:24:23
  He's I had great success so far. Devin dam Piers
• 1:24:26
  get a motion out of the backfield and line up
• 1:24:28
  on the right hand side Bird in the backfield with
• 1:24:30
  Daniel Bray, and now Bird's gonna throw. It's gonna be
• 1:24:33
  a double pass. I think Devin Dampier's gonna look to
• 1:24:36
  throw it down the field. Tosses it down the field
• 1:24:38
  and it goes incomplete.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: They were trying to get that ball to Dallon Bentley.
• 1:24:43
  It's incomplete.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: I think Dallan may have even stepped out of bounds
• 1:24:46
  because the referee took his hat off and then tossed it,
• 1:24:48
  and that usually means somebody stepped out of bounds.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like I mean good atwareness here. No, man,
• 1:24:55
  it's just hard to down. I don't think Dallen was
• 1:24:58
  looking for the ball and he.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: Was second down, intended the forty three yard line, and
• 1:25:03
  nobody blocked the guy that got into Devin's face.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: So that was gonna be a tough play from the
• 1:25:07
  gid go.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: Wyshawn Parker the tailback, Devin dan PII your quarterback, Wyshan
• 1:25:12
  right side running room. He's got the fifty, he's got
• 1:25:14
  the forty five and down to the Bearcat thirty nine
• 1:25:17
  yard line. Golda Collard made the tackle for Cincinnati. But
• 1:25:22
  another big game for Wayshan Parker. He's going in on
• 1:25:26
  one hundred yards out. That's an eighteen yard game. He's
• 1:25:28
  at ninety one on the night.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: I think Utah is the best North South running team
• 1:25:32
  in the conference. And when you are those guys making
• 1:25:35
  contact at the line of scrimmage, you just bounce off.
• 1:25:38
  It's just like right there, boom, boom. Two guys bounce
• 1:25:40
  off before they even get to it first.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Intended the Bearcat thirty nine yard line. Utah has been
• 1:25:46
  so balanced tonight.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Wildcat here for Wyshawn Parker gonna keep it himself, bounces
• 1:25:50
  it out to the left hand side and picks up
• 1:25:53
  maybe two yards to the thirty seven. Jake Golday, outstanding
• 1:25:57
  linebacker for Cincinnati, made the tackle. There's when he's lined
• 1:26:00
  up in that wildcat. Cincinnati's just bringing everybody. Yeah, they're
• 1:26:04
  on to that, you know clearly. Yeah, it's tough. There
• 1:26:08
  really was nowhere for Wasshan to go. I mean, the
• 1:26:10
  fact they got what a yard was a miracle. You
• 1:26:13
  had six guys block and an eight guys chase, and
• 1:26:16
  that's a tough recipe to run. That's a one yard
• 1:26:18
  gain second down to nine for way Shan. He stays
• 1:26:20
  at the ball game. Devin back in, two receivers to
• 1:26:24
  the right, one receiver to the left hand side, and
• 1:26:26
  they give it away Sean Parker again, he'll bounce to
• 1:26:28
  the outside and lose the yard back to the thirty nine.
• 1:26:31
  Cincinnati they're saying, you're not going to run on us
• 1:26:34
  here in the second half, Simmy and Coleman made the tackle.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why it was mentioning. You know, you got
• 1:26:38
  to throw the ball down the field off of the
• 1:26:40
  play action and it might have been a good time
• 1:26:43
  to do it on that last play right there, because
• 1:26:45
  it's been really really run heavy for Utah in this
• 1:26:48
  first half.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: Third down and ten for Utah the Cincinnati thirty nine
• 1:26:53
  yard line. You are six out of ten on third
• 1:26:55
  down tonight. Two in the backfield right now on third down,
• 1:27:00
  they motioned Daniel Bray out.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: They throw the.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: Flankers screen to Daniel Bray. He's not gonna get up
• 1:27:04
  the field and make much back to he's dropped for
• 1:27:06
  a one yard They'll give him the line of scrimmage
• 1:27:08
  and that's it. So now it's decision time.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: For Utah.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: Probably too far to go for the go for it. Well,
• 1:27:18
  they bring the kicking team out. Now they're gonna punt it,
• 1:27:21
  which is kind of surprising. Dylan Curtis has a really
• 1:27:24
  big leg. We've seen him hit from sixty plus in practice,
• 1:27:27
  but this isn't practice. I'm gonna bring the punt team
• 1:27:29
  out of Ryan Phillips will punt it here for Utah's
• 1:27:32
  first punt tonight. Wasn't great Manny Covey will be back
• 1:27:35
  at his own eight yard line. Cincinnati's gonna come after this.
• 1:27:38
  They overload the left side of the line of scrimmage
• 1:27:43
  five of the play clock for Phillips. He gets the
• 1:27:45
  kick away and this one's short again, way short. In fact,
• 1:27:49
  Utah's gonna take it. At about the twelve yard line.
• 1:27:52
  Luca Colderello was down to chase it.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: And he caught it.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: Didn't want to have a check back up and head
• 1:27:56
  back toward the twenty and Cincinnati will have a calling
• 1:28:00
  about an eighty eight yard field in front of him
• 1:28:02
  when we get back ten fifty five to play here

  Speaker 2: Ryan Davis six catches one hundred and eighteen yards second
• 1:28:35
  one hundred receiving yard game this year for Davis. The
• 1:28:37
  last time the US had two one hundred yard receivers
• 1:28:39
  at a two one hundred receiving yard games in a
• 1:28:41
  year to Von Veile a couple of years ago.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm on having a nice NFL career now
• 1:28:48
  he is.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: He's a good player.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: First and ten Bearcats at their own twelve trailing twenty
• 1:28:54
  four to seven.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: Their defense gotta stop.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: Now what will their offense do with Brendan Soorsby held
• 1:29:00
  him relatively in check in the first half, Walker the
• 1:29:03
  tail back, three receivers left.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: Keep an eye on the tight end Royer, he's good too.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: Utah with five in the line of scrimmage north end
• 1:29:10
  zone gets loud soresby play action, pass pressure off the edge,
• 1:29:16
  throwing down the middle. He's gonna man open and it's
• 1:29:18
  even complete. He was going for Caleb Goodie. Excellent help
• 1:29:23
  by Tao Johnson and Smith Snowden Logan Fano applied the pressure.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: That was a great job by tail because he was
• 1:29:30
  clear up at the line of scrimmage there, got his
• 1:29:32
  key read that it was passed, and then he got
• 1:29:34
  back to the middle of the field and just did
• 1:29:36
  a tremendous job of breaking up that play.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: Fano almost got a sack second down in ten at
• 1:29:42
  to twelve, Soorsby backs up into the gun again.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: Two receivers left, two receivers right, this.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: Time Walker the tailback Utah playing press Soresby to pass
• 1:29:51
  pressure coming. He throws it along. He's got a man
• 1:29:53
  open his caught forty forty five fifty fifty thirty twenty
• 1:29:57
  five twenty. They're not gonna catch him. That's gonna the
• 1:30:00
  eighty eight yard touchdown to Cyrus Allen. Well, just after
• 1:30:06
  I had said you tossed defensive backs didn't give up
• 1:30:08
  many big plays this year.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: They gave one up right there, big time.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: Cyrus Allen turns on the Jets and scores from eighty
• 1:30:15
  eight yards and the Bearcats back in this one early in.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: The second half. Yeah, that was on a rope. I mean,
• 1:30:21
  just a perfect throw right there. And you know, I mean,
• 1:30:25
  you go get you got to touch a guy. You
• 1:30:27
  can't let him run free like that. It's just really
• 1:30:30
  hard and they're usually pretty good at that. And we'll
• 1:30:32
  see what happens here on the play.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: To the eighteen coming up here for Russneck good snap,
• 1:30:39
  good hold.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: Kick is through and it's twenty four to fourteen now
• 1:30:43
  with a lot of time to play in this ball game,
• 1:30:45
  ten to thirty five to play, and the Bearcats back
• 1:30:49
  within ten points at twenty four to fourteen.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just an inside slot route, you know, fade
• 1:30:57
  and Smith Notten was on it and just didn't get
• 1:30:58
  a hand on him. Guy just ran right.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: Cyrus Allen can fly. He had three touchdowns earlier this
• 1:31:05
  year against Oklahoma State. He's got ten all the year.
• 1:31:07
  That's number two in college football. And you can see
• 1:31:09
  why he was a Texas A and m transfer began
• 1:31:11
  at law Tech and he's found a home here at Cincinnati.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and these are the things.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: You punt, so you play field position, and you play
• 1:31:19
  field position you want you want to make him go
• 1:31:21
  down the field, and you know, the one thing you
• 1:31:23
  cannot do. You can't give up the big play right there.
• 1:31:25
  And that's just systemic. So I don't know anyone that
• 1:31:28
  can really cover a guy if you you know, if
• 1:31:31
  you can't, if you can't get a hand on him,
• 1:31:33
  if you just can run, that's that's tough sleddings. At
• 1:31:37
  some point, you got to make contact with him.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: Cyrus Allen has a forty five yard catch tonight and
• 1:31:41
  an eighty eight yard catch tonight he's got two grabs
• 1:31:45
  for one hundred and thirty three yards and now a touchdown.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: And this guy, we got a lot of football to
• 1:31:50
  be played here.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is they flipped the script right here
• 1:31:53
  for sure. You's got an answer back.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: Kick off by a Russ Snack is deep, you know,
• 1:31:59
  over the head of Sean Glover at Utah will get
• 1:32:01
  it first intend at their own twenty five yard line,
• 1:32:04
  and that just flips momentum and all the good work
• 1:32:07
  you did in the first half just kind of goes
• 1:32:09
  to the side now because Cincinnati's right back in this thing.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it really does.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: And you just you know, you really kind of focus on,
• 1:32:17
  you know, burying a team and just and just get
• 1:32:20
  that knockout punch right there. But certainly not how you
• 1:32:23
  do it.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: This offensive series brought to you by bud Light, Easy
• 1:32:27
  to drink it, easy to enjoy. Utah will open up
• 1:32:29
  with four pass catchers, two left and two right. Tail
• 1:32:31
  Back Nakari Rodgers. Devin dam Pier brings a man in
• 1:32:37
  motion that's Dallin Bentley. They're gonna run to the right
• 1:32:39
  hand side and diving down for about a two yard
• 1:32:42
  game to the twenty seven is devon damp pier. Not
• 1:32:44
  much there and a flag on the play. A whistle's
• 1:32:47
  on the play, no flags, a lot of whistles of it.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this should have been for more. I mean the
• 1:32:54
  first guy there, you got two guys pulling, and everyone
• 1:32:57
  just looks past that guy. That that place shuld have
• 1:33:00
  been at least a ten yard game.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: Second down and eight. Now Utah from their own twenty
• 1:33:04
  seven lander Barton goes in motion. Damn peer pumps once
• 1:33:07
  he's gonna look down the field. He's got a man
• 1:33:09
  open down the field and it's juggled and is it
• 1:33:13
  caught incomplete? But the flag comes out. Pass interference come
• 1:33:18
  and they were trying to get that ball to Dalla
• 1:33:20
  Bentley nearly came up with a catch.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a good throw, good location to make him,
• 1:33:26
  you know, to give him a shot.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 8: That's interference senior penalty, first down.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: An twin peaks, who's the highest grated safety in the
• 1:33:37
  Big twelve Conference, whistled for that pass interference call. Give
• 1:33:40
  Utah fifteen yards, that'll move him out for a first down.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, safety's just mauling him there. I mean, it's
• 1:33:48
  just an easy call. But again I like, I like
• 1:33:51
  the aggressiveness of you gotta make those shows. You got
• 1:33:53
  to you gotta stretch the defense. I'm just telling you
• 1:33:56
  to open everything up for you. So I don't fault.
• 1:33:59
  They call it all affect. I love it.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: After the forty two yard line, it goes first and
• 1:34:04
  ten for the use. After the penalty on Cincinnati nine
• 1:34:08
  fifty nine to play, third quarter, twenty four to fourteen Utah,
• 1:34:11
  Damn Pierre goes under center. Now will he stay under center? Nope,
• 1:34:15
  He's gonna back up into the shotgun. Nakari Rodgers remains
• 1:34:19
  as his tailback. Two receivers on the left hand side.
• 1:34:22
  Now they bring a man in motion, play action again
• 1:34:24
  for Devin looking down the field again, Devin got a
• 1:34:27
  man out there. It is caught and then dropped. Ryan
• 1:34:31
  Davis had it and then he lost. A defensive back
• 1:34:34
  might have got his hand in to knock it away.
• 1:34:37
  Almost a big play again for Ryan Davis.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: Really nice route right here and he just drops it.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: He dropped it, then he dropped it.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 3: You catch it, you got to tuck it in quickly,
• 1:34:47
  and the DV got in there and just knocked it
• 1:34:48
  away late.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: So second down in ten now for Utah taking deep shots,
• 1:34:53
  though tonight probably be more shots down the field that
• 1:34:55
  they've taken all year long. Devin stands by himself in
• 1:34:59
  the shotgun, empty backfield, five pass catchers at the formation,
• 1:35:02
  play action. He's gonna keep it himself up the field.
• 1:35:04
  He's got the fifty, he's got the Cincinnati forty five
• 1:35:08
  and down to the Bearcat forty four yard line. That'll
• 1:35:11
  be a thirteen yard run and a tackle by Antoine
• 1:35:13
  Peak Junior. But Devon Dampier using his legs, picks up
• 1:35:17
  another Utah first down.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 3: So interesting where the safety's linebacker is just flying to
• 1:35:21
  those counters by those offensive linemen. There's no one on
• 1:35:24
  the back side and just a gaping hole and easy
• 1:35:27
  read for Devon to make the big play.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: Clock running at nine twenty four to play first and
• 1:35:31
  ten Utah for the Bearcat forty four. Damn Peer to
• 1:35:35
  pass again, a lot of time down the field. Caught again,
• 1:35:38
  that's his guy.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: You know who it is? Tryan Davis again? Or was
• 1:35:44
  that JJ Buchanan.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: That was JJ Buchanan. Nice catch by JJ.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: I love this. I mean, you know your defensive injury.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love this call to JJ He's a guy
• 1:35:57
  that is always a mismatch. These are easy throws for
• 1:36:00
  the quarterback, you know, right in the middle of the
• 1:36:02
  field here. It's just really nice, love love to read
• 1:36:05
  everything just.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: Utah picked up fourteen yards on the play, feeling the
• 1:36:12
  threat of the run, and they're just exploiting this defense.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: Empty backfield for Devin On first and ten from the
• 1:36:18
  Cincinnati thirty motion man Daniel Bray, He's got it out
• 1:36:21
  on the edge, turns the corner and gets dropped after
• 1:36:24
  about a three yard game to the twenty seven yard line.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: Hasn't been quite as.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: Much running room on that edge tonight for Daniel Bray
• 1:36:30
  as there's been in some other games.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: No, And you know it's a little limiting, you know,
• 1:36:34
  but man, it's exciting. You just don't know what's gonna
• 1:36:37
  happen to get in the ball Anything can happen.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: Brace days in the ballgame. Is the tailback.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: Three receivers left, tight end right for Utah and second
• 1:36:45
  down in seven Damn Pierre in the gun. He's gonna
• 1:36:47
  pass looking firing inside. That's Ryan Davis inside the twenty
• 1:36:52
  buries his head gets down the marking right at the
• 1:36:54
  twenty yard line.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: He needed the twenty.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: Let's see if they move the change they do, that's
• 1:36:58
  a seven yard game in a Utah first.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 3: Down, and there's there's just this hole by the by
• 1:37:03
  the the alignment of the defense. It's just there and
• 1:37:07
  Utah's doing a nice job of just continuing to just
• 1:37:10
  feed it to him there because they keep giving it
• 1:37:12
  to Utah.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: Two receivers right and a bunch set on the left
• 1:37:14
  hand side of the left slot for Devin Dan Peer.
• 1:37:17
  Now he's going to change the play. Plenty of time
• 1:37:19
  on the play clock here right on the edge of
• 1:37:22
  the can you give you credit Union red zone? He
• 1:37:24
  backs up into the shotgun now brings a man in
• 1:37:26
  motion play action past Damn Pere throwing outside looking for
• 1:37:29
  ib bu cannon up caught incomplete, knocked away from JJ
• 1:37:35
  bucannon by Matthew McDoom. A really good corner for the
• 1:37:39
  Cincinnati Bearcats.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of a tough one right there.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: You know it.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: It's in a good location. He's got he's got the
• 1:37:49
  you know, he's got the leverage here. That's they're not
• 1:37:52
  going to call that. They just aren't. It's those two
• 1:37:54
  guys fighting for the ball.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: It's good call. Good defense by McDoom. Second down and
• 1:37:58
  ten for the Bearcat. Twenty Now Shawn Parker the tailback.
• 1:38:01
  You've got a full house backfield right now with Bentley
• 1:38:03
  is the lead blocker and movement on the right hand side,
• 1:38:07
  and that one's probably gonna go on Logan Fano maybe
• 1:38:09
  Michael BOKAPUSI looked.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: Like the defensive lineman moved. We see not from where
• 1:38:14
  that flag.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 6: Was well offense number fifty five, five year penalty.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: Second down, Yeah, Logan Fano gets flagged for that one.
• 1:38:25
  So second down in fifteen now back of the twenty
• 1:38:27
  five yard line.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that defensive lineman he jumped in there and the
• 1:38:35
  Logan moved a little early, but kutagne either way.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: I think back of the twenty five second down in fifteen,
• 1:38:40
  Damn Pierce stands by himself and the gun.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: Four pass catchers on the left hand side.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: Now right hand side, we're gonna un the double reverse
• 1:38:48
  now and it's gonna be blown up in the backfield.
• 1:38:50
  Daniel Bray is gonna get forward and pick up a yard.
• 1:38:53
  Actually he's gonna lose four yards. Got dropped at the
• 1:38:56
  twenty nine. I had him at the twenty fourths to
• 1:38:58
  twenty nine instead, third down, it really coming up.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: That never had a chance.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 3: Now, I don't know that it's the right time to
• 1:39:04
  call that, and it you know, the defensive lineman just
• 1:39:08
  he's too slow to kind of over pursue and you
• 1:39:13
  know you your song.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hunt at three hundred and fifteen pounds was not
• 1:39:16
  moving out.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was just kind of planted there in the
• 1:39:18
  middle of the field.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: So third down added eternity here, Third down to nineteen
• 1:39:23
  for the bear Cat, twenty nine, damp Pier to pass,
• 1:39:25
  plenty of time, good pocket looking down the field, dancing
• 1:39:28
  in the pocket. Now firing down the field. H oh,
• 1:39:31
  that's gonna be picked at the goal line. A terrible
• 1:39:34
  decision by Damn Pierre, and it's returned to the sixteen
• 1:39:37
  yard line.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what he was doing.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: The defensive back was standing there, Christian Harrison waiting, and
• 1:39:43
  he picked it off easily for an injury injured Cincinnati player,
• 1:39:49
  and they're gonna keep this thing going right here, I
• 1:39:51
  think six fifty to play. Just a really bad decision
• 1:39:55
  on that play by Devin Yeah, it's.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: Just not acceptable in any stretch of the imagine nation
• 1:40:00
  here and you know, you're better off moving around. No
• 1:40:05
  one was really moving in a position to where they
• 1:40:07
  could actually throw. You know, he had a shot maybe
• 1:40:11
  to the wide receiver up top, but he's got plenty
• 1:40:13
  of time to throw here, and just I don't know
• 1:40:17
  who he's throwing to. You don't have any control on
• 1:40:19
  that backside safety.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: Time out on the field, will take it with him.
• 1:40:22
  Cincinnati Ball when we get back. Utah's second turnover tonight,
• 1:40:26
  and this is Utah football for ESPN seven hundred at
• 1:40:28
  Youth Sports Radio Networks is a Proud spongeor the University
• 1:40:32
  of Utah Athletics Smiths Treasure Forever.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: One guy, You've had a couple of looks. Now with
• 1:40:36
  that interception at any different.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: Well, there's nothing good about it. I mean what, first
• 1:40:40
  of all, you never throw an interception in the red
• 1:40:42
  zone ever, and you know I'm not you know, you know,
• 1:40:46
  you kind of get locked on a guy sometimes and
• 1:40:49
  you're trying to force him open somehow. You're trying to
• 1:40:52
  convince yourself that he's open and just yeah, just a
• 1:40:55
  just a bad play there. Devin's better off running at
• 1:40:58
  the line of scrimmage and trying to get the defense
• 1:41:01
  to move but when he's kind of dancing back in
• 1:41:03
  the pocket, they're all just kind of out there playing
• 1:41:05
  center field and it's just hard to make anything happen.
• 1:41:09
  But if he makes an action toward the line of scrimmage,
• 1:41:13
  people have to come up and try to tackle him,
• 1:41:15
  and that's when guys get over.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: First turnover tonight by the Utah offense. The other one
• 1:41:19
  came on the interception by smith Stoke, first of ten Bearcats.
• 1:41:23
  Last time they threw an eighty eight yard touchdown, this
• 1:41:26
  is an eighty four yard field for their old sixteen
• 1:41:29
  hand off chance Williams, you'll pow a plow forward for
• 1:41:33
  about three to the nineteen yard line.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: Good to see jodaala aa back in there. Got deemed
• 1:41:37
  up a little bit at the end of the first half,
• 1:41:39
  but he's had a nice game to night. Three yard game. Yeah,
• 1:41:41
  that was that zone read.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 3: Utah has had a hard time making and covering and
• 1:41:45
  they do it do doing a much better job of
• 1:41:48
  it here in the second half.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: Second down, so much seven yards to go from the
• 1:41:53
  nineteen Soresby backs up into the shotgut rings a man
• 1:41:56
  in motion across the formation, build back pedal to pass
• 1:41:59
  pressure off the hit as he throws up the sideline.
• 1:42:02
  Excellent coverage down below by the Utah defense. That was
• 1:42:06
  Blake Cotton again trying to get that ball to Caleb Goodie.
• 1:42:09
  Third down coming up. Yeah, and you're gonna see it
• 1:42:11
  the whole game.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, a good quarterback when he gets press man
• 1:42:14
  coverage with a single safety, he's taking his shots and
• 1:42:18
  it makes it hard to get to him because he's
• 1:42:20
  getting rid of the palls up.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: Watch the back out of the backfield here for Cincinnati.
• 1:42:24
  Third down and seven. They're four of seven on third down.
• 1:42:27
  Now they empty the backfield. Watch sores be in his legs.
• 1:42:31
  Haven't seen him run, but since early in the first
• 1:42:34
  half by himself and the gun, he'll pass three step
• 1:42:39
  drop fires over the middle and incomplete deflected away trying
• 1:42:43
  to squeeze that football into Jeff Caldwell. Excellent man coverage
• 1:42:47
  again by Blake Cotton, and a three and out for
• 1:42:49
  the Bearcats.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a route that they were winning on early
• 1:42:53
  in this half. And they send the inside guys kind
• 1:42:56
  of up the field. It's almost a chance to try
• 1:42:57
  to get a pick. And just a great, great defensive
• 1:43:00
  play by Blake. Of course, this game's been tightly contested
• 1:43:04
  and called, but these officials are letting them play.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: In the secondary.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: Carvolo will stand at his own thirty eight. Max Fletcher
• 1:43:12
  will rugby it out with the right hands. Like good punt,
• 1:43:14
  Carvolo is gonna have to chase it back inside of
• 1:43:16
  his own twenty five up the field, he goes thirty
• 1:43:19
  thirty five, forty to the outside. Car Volume is still
• 1:43:22
  on his feet, forty five, still on his feet, rolled
• 1:43:25
  down at the Utah forty eight yard line. That's a
• 1:43:29
  twenty four yard punt return for car Volume and sets
• 1:43:33
  you Jah up a great starting field position with five
• 1:43:36
  point fifty five to play here in the third quarter.
• 1:43:40
  Time out on the field. Will take it with him.
• 1:43:42
  When we come back, we'll see Devin dan Pierre trying
• 1:43:45
  to make amends for that last pick. Our broadcast tonight

  after the game to keep the celebration going. Game Day
• 1:44:21
  is Chip Day, Bill Riley, Scott, Mitchell upstairs, Stevenson Sylvester downstairs.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: A lot of car Voluo has turned into a nice
• 1:44:27
  punt returner for this team. Scott.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know he did. He did such a
• 1:44:31
  nice job of reading that ball. It was it was
• 1:44:33
  the long punt and he sprinted back and then he
• 1:44:36
  catched the ball running for and so often you OutKick
• 1:44:39
  your coverage, which is what happened. And then he you know,
• 1:44:42
  and then you Tah gets ballied about the fifty yard.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: I think Cincinnati's gonna expect to run here. Would you
• 1:44:47
  play action on first down? I would run that quarterback
• 1:44:53
  counter again, see if he gets blocked better. Yeah, just
• 1:44:57
  you know something that's just pretty straightforward. You got options
• 1:45:02
  going both ways. It's hard hard to defend Rogers in
• 1:45:05
  the backfield with Dan Pierre motion man across the formation
• 1:45:10
  a tight end. They're gonna hand that ball to the
• 1:45:11
  Cary Rogers. He's got running room into the secondary. Oh man,
• 1:45:16
  he keeps his footing, he's still running. Instead, he picks
• 1:45:18
  up about five to the forty eight yard line.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 3: I think Nacary was expecting more contact than he got there.
• 1:45:25
  Just just cut back boom right there. Now, it's pretty good, Ryan,
• 1:45:29
  that was a good run. But I like this. I
• 1:45:31
  like you know, second and six is a nice down.
• 1:45:33
  You can do a lot with it, sure can.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: Lander Martin's lining up in the left slot.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: Is a tight end here for you, Tah Larry Simmons
• 1:45:39
  wide to the right left hand side, two receivers right.
• 1:45:43
  They motioned Daniel Bray out, now motion him back in.
• 1:45:45
  On second down and six, they give it a Bray
• 1:45:48
  out of the edge. He's got the forty five forty
• 1:45:50
  thirty five and dives down at the Cincinnati thirty four.
• 1:45:53
  Matthew McDoom was out there being blocked. He managed the
• 1:45:56
  four Symta bounds. That's Daniel Bay's praise best run of
• 1:45:59
  the night right there.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 3: Fifteen yards. Yeah, and it's just constantly putting pressure on
• 1:46:03
  that defense. He hits at so fast and if you're
• 1:46:05
  not in the right spot, he's going to burn you
• 1:46:07
  for a good ten yard game or more.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray's become a nice weapon in this run game.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: Way.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: Shawn Parker's had a nice night, but he's not in
• 1:46:14
  there right now. Motion Bray across the formation. Damn pier
• 1:46:19
  is going to keep it himself now. Devin thirty, Devin
• 1:46:22
  twenty five, and Devon down at the twenty two yard line,
• 1:46:26
  picks up eleven and another Utah person that quarterback coutter
• 1:46:29
  against gott.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this time it actually went to the outside.
• 1:46:33
  It's kind of where it's designed Cincinnati, just it's so
• 1:46:36
  well blocked right there with those linemen and you know,
• 1:46:38
  the safety has to come up late. I'm not sure
• 1:46:40
  that Devon is running one hundred percent right now because
• 1:46:44
  that that it just doesn't have the same explosion. But
• 1:46:46
  he's running good way.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: Shawn Parker the aforementioned checks into the ball game. He
• 1:46:50
  is nine yards from one hundred tonight, they're on the
• 1:46:53
  edge of the canyon viewed Credit Union red zone, first
• 1:46:55
  and ten at the bear Cat twenty two yard line.
• 1:46:58
  Here's the Wildcat again for wait Sean and they read
• 1:47:01
  it again and drop him again. He'll fall forward for
• 1:47:04
  about a yard yard and a half. But again they're
• 1:47:08
  ready for it when he comes in as a wildcat.
• 1:47:10
  I'm not sure why you wouldn't just run that thing
• 1:47:11
  straight with Devin in the backfield.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or run way Sean running in the backfield. I mean,
• 1:47:17
  this isn't you know, unless they're trying to get the
• 1:47:20
  quarterback run here. But Cincinnati is just they're onto it.
• 1:47:24
  You got to you gotta go away from it now.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: Clock running at three forty to play twenty four to
• 1:47:28
  fourteen Utah. Here late third quarter, damppear by himself in
• 1:47:32
  the gun. Three receivers right to to the left hand side.
• 1:47:37
  Devon brings Bentley in motion. He's going to try that
• 1:47:39
  left hand side inside the twenty makes a man, Oh
• 1:47:41
  he's face mask. There's a flag. Goodness gracious. I think
• 1:47:47
  Coleman wrapped him by the face mask and ripped him
• 1:47:50
  down and he did that's gonna be fifteen yards.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Devin clearly said, yeah, that was a face mask.
• 1:47:55
  That was almost egregious. I mean that's like a I
• 1:47:58
  mean I think everyone who had a flag got to
• 1:48:00
  throw it on that play.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw it up here. They certainly saw it
• 1:48:04
  on the field.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: We didn't hear the referee that time, but he said
• 1:48:12
  just that that's a face mask on Coleman of Cincinnati
• 1:48:15
  his second penalty tonight. And that will be a first
• 1:48:18
  down for you Jah inside the canyon of you Credit
• 1:48:20
  Union red zone and a first and goal opportunity of
• 1:48:23
  the nine yard line.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you grab a hold and you just
• 1:48:25
  can't let go. It's like those hands to the face.
• 1:48:28
  Sometimes they just get their hand up there and they
• 1:48:30
  just can't they can't get can't get it back down.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: Two tights, two wides, and the tailback way Sean Parker
• 1:48:37
  on first and goal with the nine, Devin keeps it
• 1:48:39
  on the edge to the five and dives inside to
• 1:48:41
  the four. And this one is coming back. They're gonna
• 1:48:45
  get a hold maybe on Ryan Davis.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and was Shan has just kind of throwing his
• 1:48:50
  hands up in the air and I don't know why
• 1:48:52
  because he was white open. I don't know white Devin
• 1:48:54
  didn't give him the ball right, there might have been
• 1:48:56
  a touchdown instead. This one's coming back. Well, it was
• 1:49:04
  holding on Utah didn't get the number I think it was.
• 1:49:08
  I think it was nine. I think that I thought
• 1:49:09
  it was Ryan Davis.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: You can kind of tell by his body reaction and
• 1:49:13
  also where he was on the field. Yeah, he turned
• 1:49:15
  the defensive end out there and got called. So first
• 1:49:19
  and goal at the nine becomes first in goal all
• 1:49:23
  the way back.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: I think in about the eighteen yard line. Yeah, and
• 1:49:27
  the marking a d eighteen yard line and.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 3: He really didn't need to hold there. And you know
• 1:49:30
  so much of it as the guy slipping off. You
• 1:49:32
  gotta move your feet. You got to reposition him. You
• 1:49:34
  can't get lazy.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: Daniel Bray. The tailback Larry Simmons is gonna have to
• 1:49:39
  get off the field. And a time out taken by Utah.
• 1:49:42
  Otherwise they would have been penal last five more yards. Yeah,
• 1:49:45
  so time out taken by Utah. Here, we'll see if
• 1:49:48
  we can get the referees Mike correct it. It's a
• 1:49:51
  thirty second time out, so we're gonna keep it right here.
• 1:49:53
  Three to oh eight to play Utah twenty four and
• 1:49:56
  Cincinnati fourteen. You need to pay this drive off with points.
• 1:50:01
  Oh absolutely, and you know your goal is okay, a
• 1:50:03
  touchdown even better, but you've got to get some points.
• 1:50:05
  It's your second drive of the half to get you inside.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 3: The red zone, and Utah has you know, got down
• 1:50:09
  to this kind of area right here and just shot
• 1:50:11
  themselves in the foot. You know, just stick with what's
• 1:50:14
  been getting you there and don't get so cute on things.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: Tonight's second half being brought to you by a trusted
• 1:50:21
  healthcare provider for the UTS family and yours at University
• 1:50:23
  of Utah Health by the botto lining you of youhealth dot.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: Org slash utes.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what Jason Beck and Devin damp Pierre
• 1:50:30
  come up with here on first and goal back of
• 1:50:32
  the eighteen yard line.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say counter, quarterback, counter again. That play has
• 1:50:37
  been probably the most effective.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: It may be.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 3: A zone read again. We'll see if they do that.
• 1:50:44
  That's been a good play too.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: He Scott Mitchell favorite JJ Buchanan has man coverage to
• 1:50:49
  the bottom. Damp Pierre takes the snap, He looks out
• 1:50:53
  to his right, throws out to his right as this
• 1:50:55
  guy Ryot Davis who's wrestled down at about the eleven
• 1:50:58
  yard line after a gain of seven yards. Second down
• 1:51:01
  a goal now at the eleven, Monte Wheaton made the tackle.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah that you can tell these guys, have you know,
• 1:51:07
  really really good chemistry there. That's a that's a long
• 1:51:10
  throw and can be a dangerous throw down here if
• 1:51:12
  you don't throw it on the to the outside, which
• 1:51:15
  Steven did.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: Nine for one hundred and thirty two. Now for Ryan
• 1:51:18
  Davis Rogers the tailback on second and goal from the eleven.
• 1:51:23
  Devin brings Davis in motion, motions in back out, He'll
• 1:51:26
  throw again out to the outside. Caught here and inside
• 1:51:30
  the ten, inside the five to the goal on touchdown.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: That was great.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 2: Winnemore just just third touches a ute and he battles
• 1:51:43
  way into the end zone for a touchdown.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 3: Wow, something I don't think you expected. But what makes
• 1:51:49
  this play go is Winnemore comes back to the football
• 1:51:53
  like it just creates that little half a second where
• 1:51:58
  he can bust the play for a touch as a
• 1:52:00
  huge play right here, some Utah really needed. You know,
• 1:52:02
  they got behind the sticks here and then they came
• 1:52:04
  back and were able to complete the pass.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's a Pepsi touchdown by Winnimore, just his
• 1:52:11
  third catch the transfer from Mississippi State. The pat up
• 1:52:16
  and good by Dylan Curtis makes it thirty one fourteen
• 1:52:19
  Utah eight plays fifty two yards.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 2: Winnimore is not very big, Scott, He's five ten, five
• 1:52:24
  point eleven, but he was not going.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: To be denied.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 3: And it's so much about, you know, just when you
• 1:52:31
  catch the ball, boom, get up the field, just go
• 1:52:33
  north and south, don't don't hesitate, don't wait. Uses his
• 1:52:37
  body to kind of let the defenders get past him
• 1:52:39
  and just an excellent play right there.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 2: Excellent eight play, fifty two yard drive, three twenty nine
• 1:52:45
  off the game clock. And you know, I thought coming
• 1:52:47
  into the season Winnemore might play a little bit bigger
• 1:52:50
  role and he was slow to pick up the offense
• 1:52:52
  and such. But we saw him get two catches last
• 1:52:55
  week against Colorado and a big one right here for
• 1:52:58
  a touchdown.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 3: And you're starting to see Larry Simmons get involved a
• 1:53:01
  little bit more. You're starting to see JJ Buchanan get
• 1:53:04
  more in the throw game and win the more, you know,
• 1:53:06
  and these are big plays. You know, a guy hasn't
• 1:53:08
  touched the ball much all year, and hadn't touched the
• 1:53:10
  ball much all game, and all of a sudden, in
• 1:53:13
  a very critical moment, Utah needed that score. Big time
• 1:53:17
  and win the more answers.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: So thirty one is fourteen Utah with two twenty six
• 1:53:24
  to play. Isaiah Johnson back deep to receive this kick.
• 1:53:27
  There's been little to no returns in any of these
• 1:53:30
  games as of late. Dylan Curtis will kick south to
• 1:53:34
  north here at Rice Egle Stadium, great crowd on hand.
• 1:53:37
  Tonight get another sellout, dark mode, blackout game here and
• 1:53:41
  this one could be returned, but he'll make a fair
• 1:53:44
  catch at the two yard line. Maybe those are just
• 1:53:46
  the rules now in college football. Well, we'll be happy
• 1:53:49
  with the ball with the twenty five yard line, first
• 1:53:51
  and ten.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 3: I think coach Winningham would be happy. I don't think
• 1:53:54
  he cares. I don't think he would ever want to change.
• 1:53:57
  I think it's he'd loves the idea of just starting
• 1:53:59
  to my mind on the twenty five and there's no
• 1:54:02
  chance for them to get a return.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: And apparently Scott Saderfield does too.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you have a guy like Brittain Covey,
• 1:54:09
  I think maybe you change your mind a little bit,
• 1:54:12
  you know, if you're a coach.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 2: But Soresby with three and out on his last drive,
• 1:54:19
  see what he could do here down seventeen again with
• 1:54:21
  two twenty six to play. In the thirty's got Tywee
• 1:54:23
  Walker as his tailback. Three receivers of the pattern. Utah
• 1:54:27
  will rush four here, hand off Walker and he's not
• 1:54:33
  going anywhere. Stopped at the twenty five yard line. John
• 1:54:37
  Henry Daily. Good to see John Henry back in no game.
• 1:54:40
  Second down to ten coming up.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah again, Utah just handling those runs so much better
• 1:54:45
  than they were early in this game.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati now going with tembo down seventeen. Poor receivers in
• 1:54:50
  the pattern, this time for soresby play action pass.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: Over the middle.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 2: Ball knocked down again at the line of scrimmage. That
• 1:55:00
  was Jona Laea. He has had a huge game tonight
• 1:55:03
  for Utah.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know the answer for the quarterback not
• 1:55:08
  to get pressured is to get the ball rid of
• 1:55:10
  it quick. And you get rid of it quick and
• 1:55:12
  you just run in those lanes.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: Double check was Spati where I think that's five balls
• 1:55:17
  knocked out the night. It might be four, but either way,
• 1:55:20
  the Utah defensive line doing a great job. Bearcats four
• 1:55:23
  of eight on third down zero for one.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 3: Of this half.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: It's allowed here at ry eckels out of the shotgun
• 1:55:29
  Soresby Utah bringing pressure right up the middle on Soresby
• 1:55:35
  pros high incomplete had to get rid of it quick
• 1:55:39
  was going after Jeff called well incomplete. Scally brought pressure
• 1:55:43
  in a three and a half for the Bearcats.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 3: I think Soarsby knows his offensive line isn't all that
• 1:55:47
  great because he he is niled onto the ball at
• 1:55:51
  all in Utah played coverage right there a little bit
• 1:55:53
  more and which made him throw a ball way before
• 1:55:57
  he was ready to throw.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: Carvoluo, who had a great return of twenty four yards
• 1:56:00
  last time, stands at his own thirty two another high
• 1:56:04
  and endover in kick. Carvolo can return it if he
• 1:56:06
  wants to from his own twenty five up the field.
• 1:56:09
  He goes MANA thirty five forty into the open field
• 1:56:12
  forty five to fifty.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 5: One, man to beat forty thirty twenty five twenty fifteen
• 1:56:18
  ten five touchdown, touchdown.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: It's a house call for Carvolo.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 5: A seventy five yard punt return into the north end
• 1:56:32
  zone pull the freshman.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: From home y.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 2: A punt return touchdown for Utah. I don't think we've
• 1:56:41
  had a punt return for touchdown since Brittain Covey was here.
• 1:56:44
  We'll have Dave check that as well. Pat Up pt
• 1:56:47
  good and Utah beginning to tighten the screws ever more
• 1:56:52
  on the Bear Cans with a minute thirty six to play.
• 1:56:55
  Here the ballgame, it's Utah thirty eights and Cincinnati fourteen.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah this, you know, you feel like you kind of
• 1:57:05
  gaining some control of this game, and it should be
• 1:57:07
  so much more. But a great job. He's just running
• 1:57:09
  full speed. He's like, no, you are not going to
• 1:57:11
  get me. The guy tries to punch it out as
• 1:57:14
  opposed to tackling him, and it kind of propelled him
• 1:57:17
  into into the end zone.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 2: This kid, after having the just the mishap at Byu,
• 1:57:24
  has really bounced back the last two weeks. Boy, the
• 1:57:27
  punter gave no effort. I mean, the punter wanted nothing
• 1:57:30
  to do with trying to tackle him.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: I've been ran right by him.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 3: I've been in that situation where that punter and it's
• 1:57:36
  not as easy as you think, and you're in open
• 1:57:39
  space there and he set him up nice, you know,
• 1:57:42
  and it just got back on him.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: And granted, car Volo has been fantastic the last couple
• 1:57:48
  of weeks. A twenty four yard punt return earlier in
• 1:57:52
  the game. A seventy five yard putt return for a
• 1:57:54
  touchdown there and with a bit at thirty six to
• 1:57:57
  play here in the third quarter, may have just put
• 1:58:00
  this one out of reach for the Bearcats.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah huge, I don't know. We get the stat from
• 1:58:06
  sly What is a punt return for a touchdown? What
• 1:58:08
  does it increase your odds.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: Of Isaiah Johnson again with a returnable kick and he
• 1:58:13
  decaid it's a fair catch it at the twenty three
• 1:58:14
  yard line. Last punt return for touchdown?
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: Boy? How about this? How about this for some cemetery.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 2: The last time Utah had a punt return for a
• 1:58:24
  touchdown was twenty twenty one by Britton Covey against the
• 1:58:27
  Oregon Ducks.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: Guess what Utah was wearing that night? Oh? All black
• 1:58:31
  the painted helmets. Oh oh yeah, the US has salt
• 1:58:35
  lit and helmets.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 3: I think that's my favorite helmet.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: Actually, how about Dave spatafour with that stat. That is
• 1:58:41
  a spatstat that really punctuates the night right there?
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: Spat might get a game ball to Wow, you're passing
• 1:58:48
  them out like candy to know.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 3: Hey, Dodgers won the World Series let's give everyone a
• 1:58:52
  game ball.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 2: First and ten Bearcats at their own twenty five yard line.
• 1:58:56
  They give it on the fly sweep to Cyrus Allen
• 1:58:59
  and speed. Cyrus Allen picks up six off the edge.
• 1:59:02
  He was forced out of bounds by Jackson Benny.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good player and you can see it.
• 1:59:07
  He's got a motor there and they're just trying to
• 1:59:10
  get him to the ball in space as much as
• 1:59:12
  they possibly can.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: Second down in three ish here for the Bearcats down
• 1:59:19
  by twenty four, Soresby to pass four man rush fires
• 1:59:23
  this one quickly to the outside, caught and dropped immediately.
• 1:59:26
  Was his tight end Joe Royer and Royer kind of
• 1:59:28
  slow to get up. Benny drilled me to the backside.
• 1:59:31
  That's a gain on the play for a first down
• 1:59:33
  for Cincinnati. Yeah, he kind of waddled off the field there.
• 1:59:37
  Nice play by Benny. Can open field tackle high we
• 1:59:40
  walker the tail back as the plock runs under fifty
• 1:59:43
  seconds to play, third quarter, thirty eight fourteen Utah Utah
• 1:59:50
  slow to sub getting them off the field. Play clock
• 1:59:53
  still has plenty of time on it. Sores b and
• 1:59:56
  the gun fell backpedal to pass again. Pressure coming, he
• 2:00:00
  rows and it's broken up. That was Don Saunders who
• 2:00:06
  broke that one up. Excellent dive in the last second
• 2:00:09
  to knock it away from the Ruby receiver. John o'
• 2:00:11
  hall approved applied the pressure on Soresby. He got hit
• 2:00:14
  right as he threw it.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and these are really tough, tough routes to defend.
• 2:00:18
  You know, you're out there on an island as a
• 2:00:20
  dB and that guy gets an inside release on you.
• 2:00:24
  This is a great effort to knocker ball down on.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 2: The clock stop With twenty nine seconds to play here
• 2:00:29
  the third quarter, second and ten for the Cincinnati forty two.
• 2:00:32
  Soresby's gonna run it himself. Now, tries a little rpo
• 2:00:35
  to the outside and slides.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 3: Yea.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: Now, they didn't give you much of a mark there.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 2: He picked up a yard to the forty three and
• 2:00:41
  that might take us to the end of the third quarter.
• 2:00:44
  In less Cincinnati hurries to the line of scrimmage. Here
• 2:00:47
  the time is not on their side, and they will say, nope,
• 2:00:50
  we'll take it to the fourth quarter, and so will we.
• 2:00:53
  Utah led twenty four to seven and the half and
• 2:00:56
  then added a touchdown on offense and a special team's
• 2:00:59
  touchdown to lead after three quarters here on a Saturday
• 2:01:03
  night in early November, thirty eight to fourteen. We'll grab
• 2:01:06
  a time out and be back with the fourth quarter.
• 2:01:09
  Next it's Utah football from ESPN seven hundred and the
• 2:01:12
  Youth Sports Radio Network. We head to the fourth quarter
• 2:01:15
  late Saturday night here in Salt Lake City. Utah thirty eight,
• 2:01:19
  Cincinnati fourteen. Third quarter numbers Utah hundred twenty yard Cincinnati
• 2:01:24
  one hundred and eight. Utah sixty seven on the ground,
• 2:01:27
  fifty three through the air, Cincinnati ten on the ground,
• 2:01:30
  ninety eight through the air. You thaw had nine first downs,
• 2:01:33
  Bearcats had two. Remember the Bearcats got most of those
• 2:01:36
  one they got eighty eight to the one to eight
• 2:01:38
  on one play. Yeah, Utah also got seventy five yards
• 2:01:42
  that don't really count on this in special teams. So
• 2:01:45
  it was a good half for Utah and a good
• 2:01:47
  quarter for Utah. More importantly, the utaht scored the bear
• 2:01:50
  Cats fourteen to seven.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: And that third quarter.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, Winnemore making a play guy hasn't
• 2:01:56
  really contributed a lot time Cats big time effort to
• 2:02:02
  get that touchdown, it really really gave a momentum boost
• 2:02:06
  to Utah because Cincinnati kind of had that big play
• 2:02:10
  for a touchdown, and you got a quarterback here for Cincinnati.
• 2:02:15
  It's pretty decent and you just don't want to let
• 2:02:17
  him get unleashed. But that was a big play, and
• 2:02:20
  then of course the return was even bigger. And see
• 2:02:24
  how this team finishes out the game here. But it
• 2:02:28
  looks pretty good right now.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: Second half to n I'd been brought to you by
• 2:02:30
  University of Utah Health and Sports Medicine Experts because you
• 2:02:33
  belong back in the game as much as anyone. By
• 2:02:36
  the ball light at sportsmed dot uuhealth dot org. Bill Riley,
• 2:02:39
  Scott Mitchell upstairs, slide down stairs. We'll check in with
• 2:02:42
  him in a bit, Matt Dave Here Alonzo is doing backflips.
• 2:02:46
  His Dodgers won the World Series tonight. Sarah's hanging around somewhere.
• 2:02:50
  James back at studio network control, and we thank all
• 2:02:53
  of you for listening in wherever you might be. Third
• 2:03:11
  down of nine here for Simpson for Cincinnati. As we
• 2:03:14
  begin the third quarter, they're heading south to North Utah
• 2:03:23
  showing pressure here they come on Soresby. He's throwing long
• 2:03:27
  up that far sideline and overshoots his man again, great coverage,
• 2:03:31
  tried to get it to Caleb Gooding and stride for
• 2:03:34
  stride with him up that far sideline. Don Saunders, who's
• 2:03:36
  playing back up tonight. He's been a backup corner all year,
• 2:03:39
  but he's looked good on the last couple of plays.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 3: Interesting since he's gonna punt here, of course, you always
• 2:03:44
  got to be aware of the fake. Utah's gotten to Soresby.
• 2:03:48
  They haven't necessarily got him, but they've gotten to him
• 2:03:50
  because he's that was a that was a rush throw
• 2:03:53
  and he threw it way too early, and you know,
• 2:03:56
  and that's just a sign of you know, even though
• 2:03:59
  they're not hitting him, they are.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 2: Car volume back to receive the punt. He returned the
• 2:04:03
  last one seventy five yards. He's gonna let this one
• 2:04:06
  hit check up and Cincinnati will down it at the
• 2:04:09
  Utah fifteen yard line, and Utah will have an eighty
• 2:04:12
  five yard field in front of him here with fourteen
• 2:04:14
  forty five to play in the ball game. Forty two
• 2:04:16
  yard punt, no return, and I would bet we see
• 2:04:20
  a pretty steady dose of the running game on this
• 2:04:22
  drives Cats.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know, but you would think that that
• 2:04:26
  would be the case, and you know, Utah has just
• 2:04:29
  they've done a really nice job. I mean, what they
• 2:04:30
  have about two hundred and twenty one yards rushing in
• 2:04:33
  the game, and so much of it has just been
• 2:04:36
  hard north south running and that's where they've had their
• 2:04:40
  best efforts. So hopefully we'll see a lot of Burt.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 2: Ficklet has split wide to the left hand side here
• 2:04:45
  on first and ten. The Cary Rodgers is the tailback.
• 2:04:49
  Two receivers on the right hand side as well motion
• 2:04:54
  man across the formation Dall and Bentley. They handed to
• 2:04:57
  Rogers Lacry beyond the fifteen down to about the eighteen
• 2:05:01
  yard line for a gain of three. Bryan Simms the
• 2:05:03
  middle linebacker with a dackle for the Bearcats.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah that was I mean, he was three yards before
• 2:05:09
  he even had contact and there wasn't much after contact.
• 2:05:13
  But man, it's really impressive how this offensive line is
• 2:05:16
  getting a great surge and they're they're attaching to people,
• 2:05:19
  you know, they're they're getting on their blocks and they're
• 2:05:21
  sustaining them.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 2: Three yard gain on first down. Three receivers split wide
• 2:05:27
  to the left hand side. They bring a man in
• 2:05:31
  motion and they handed back to Rogers going back the
• 2:05:34
  other way, and I'd like he was going to have
• 2:05:36
  something for a minute. He picked up two to the
• 2:05:38
  twenty yard line.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 3: Saw this play in the Kansas State Texas Tech game
• 2:05:43
  and faked the fly sweep and then a delayed handoff
• 2:05:47
  back to the back side. Oh boy, they almost that
• 2:05:50
  almost got there. It's almost like Cincinnati was just a
• 2:05:52
  little late, and by being a little late, they were
• 2:05:54
  actually in the right place.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 2: If he top six out of twelve on third down tonight,
• 2:05:58
  oh for two though, this half the down in five
• 2:06:00
  and their own twenty yard line way Sean Parker the tailback.
• 2:06:04
  Now two tights and two wides for Utah. They're gonna
• 2:06:07
  run to the right hand side. Devon's gonna pump once
• 2:06:09
  look down the field. He's got a man out there.
• 2:06:12
  It's incomplete. Trying to get that to JJ andw JJ
• 2:06:15
  Buchannon well covered here on the near sideline. That'll bring
• 2:06:19
  out the punt team on a three and out for Utah.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 3: Well, they thought they'd get this quick pass. Maybe they
• 2:06:26
  would have got it. I don't think Devin could have
• 2:06:27
  seen the guy right here. And gotta be careful on
• 2:06:30
  those throws, you know, certainly don't want to get a
• 2:06:33
  turnover here in your territory.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 2: Got a Covey returning punts here in Utah, except he's
• 2:06:39
  playing for Cincinnati and no relation. It's Maddy Covey, no
• 2:06:43
  relation to Britain. Ryan Phillips. In the punt for Utah
• 2:06:47
  from his own five yard line, Covey stands in his
• 2:06:49
  own thirty six kick straight away. Not a great kick,
• 2:06:56
  but fair caught by Covey in about the forty yard line.
• 2:06:58
  And that's where the bear Cats will take over first
• 2:07:00
  and ten when we get back thirteen twenty to play
• 2:07:03

  By the way, the last freshman to take a punt

  back for a touchdown was Britain Covey in twenty fifteen,
• 2:07:50
  did that against Presno State. Lot of Carvalio did that
• 2:07:54
  tonight seventy five yards against the Cincinnati Bearcats.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 3: Just like that mono takes his swings like he's not
• 2:08:03
  He's fearless and uh and I like players that play
• 2:08:06
  with that kind of style.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: To be a punt returner, you gotta beat up totally
• 2:08:10
  first and ten Bearcats in their own forty yard line,
• 2:08:13
  trailing by twenty four. Here early in the fourth Brendan.
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 3: Sores Be.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 2: Hands that ball off Chance Williams going nowhere. He's stacked
• 2:08:23
  up by Aliki via Mahi. Joe Dele also in there
• 2:08:26
  as well for Utah.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what this Utah defense, they started to
• 2:08:31
  figure out the run and they have just stayed true.
• 2:08:34
  This is going one safety, high man coverage.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: Chance Williams the tailback. Four wide receivers.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 2: Utah with fourth, the line of scrimmage scares be the pass,
• 2:08:43
  They'll bring an extra rusher. Now Soresby scrambles up and
• 2:08:46
  then gets taken down. That will not be a sack.
• 2:08:48
  He got back to the line of scrimmage in about
• 2:08:50
  half yard after that. It was there as well as
• 2:08:53
  was via Mahee. Those two guys have.
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: Been terrific up front tonight for Utah.
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you talk kind of dropped off there a
• 2:08:59
  little bit and made the quarterback sit in the pocket.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: I think Sorbie has known this, known he can't. He
• 2:09:08
  cannot hold the ball.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: The third down and almost ten bearcats four out of
• 2:09:13
  ten tonight, zero for three. Here in the second half,
• 2:09:16
  they've got to get to midfield Utah late with the
• 2:09:18
  substitution showing a three man down front.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: Now they're gonna show pressure hand on chance.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 2: Williams forty five fifty into Utah territory was actually Manny
• 2:09:29
  Covey down to about the forty seven of Utah.
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: He needed ten, he got thirteen.
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that NASCAR package with just a three
• 2:09:37
  down lineman, all these linebackers and you are vulnerable to
• 2:09:40
  the run.
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 2: Soresby on first down play action pass throwing that ball
• 2:09:46
  long up the sidelines, got a man out there broken
• 2:09:48
  up trying to get at the Caleb Good he guess
• 2:09:52
  who was out there again for Utah. Excellent coverage on
• 2:09:57
  the outside by the University of Utah's owner Don Saunders. Boy,
• 2:10:02
  he's had himself a knight as a backup corner, really has.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 3: And he's just very calmly. He's like, Okay, I'm gonna
• 2:10:08
  catch up to this ball right here and just knocks
• 2:10:10
  it away.
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 2: And Saunders has played a lot of football A and
• 2:10:14
  M and cal poly in his career. Second down in
• 2:10:17
  tent for the Utah forty seven, sores By hands it
• 2:10:20
  off here on the near side, and that's tailback Manny Covey.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: And he's stacked up after about a two yard game
• 2:10:26
  to the forty five.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 3: I'd be curious to see what Morgan changed because they
• 2:10:35
  were just running a rough shot on this defense with
• 2:10:38
  that Zon raid name.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: And Carson GOOFUSI made that tackle for Utah. Third down
• 2:10:43
  at eight pistol formation, sores being the gun. Now he
• 2:10:49
  checks with the sideline. Now he has his play play
• 2:10:53
  clock at ten, Gonna tell his offensive line at all
• 2:10:56
  about it.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: Backs up into the gun again. You cast shuffling a
• 2:11:00
  round up front. Sores beat play action, Utah coming throwing
• 2:11:04
  down the sideline incomplete.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 2: Coverage on the near side line by Plake Cotton. They
• 2:11:13
  tried to get that ball to Jeff Coldwell. Bike's played
• 2:11:16
  very well this year. He really has got a flag
• 2:11:19
  on the play. It's gonna be a hole against Cincinnati offense.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 8: Number seventy seven. The penalties declimb fourth fountain, so.
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 2: Fourth down and eight coming up here, and I think
• 2:11:29
  the Bearcats are probably gonna go I don't think it
• 2:11:33
  matters if you lose by twenty four or thirty four.
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: The loss is gonna be a loss, and they're gonna
• 2:11:37
  go for it.
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 2: Here with ten fifty nine to play, Covey remains as
• 2:11:44
  the back. Three receivers split wide to the right hand side,
• 2:11:47
  single receiver to the bottom of the formation. Will Utah
• 2:11:52
  plate coverage or will they come after Sores be it
• 2:11:57
  gets loud at Rice cycles here. They come motion on
• 2:12:01
  the right hand side and the right tackle got going
• 2:12:03
  early and at a back of up five yards.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Baufort to transfer from Kentucky.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 6: We'll start offense perfect. I've got health well.
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 2: It is indeed, Beaufort fourth and eighth becomes fourth and thirteen.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 3: You know, you get late in the game, you get
• 2:12:24
  a little fatigue, get a little tired. This relentless pass
• 2:12:28
  rush is just really gotten to you here and now
• 2:12:32
  they break the pup team out.
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 2: Scott saderfield really in essence, waving the white flag right now,
• 2:12:39
  fourth and thirteen, right at midfield, car Volo will stand
• 2:12:45
  at his own ten. Max Fletcher, who whiffed on a
• 2:12:48
  tackle earlier, will kick it away, and he kicks it
• 2:12:51
  away from car Volio a terrible hunt. We'll see where
• 2:12:55
  they mark it out of bounds. It went way out
• 2:12:56
  of bounds. I'm gonna guess about the nineteen twenty twenty
• 2:12:59
  one yard line twenty three referee walking up the sideline
• 2:13:03
  like the yodeling Alpine man from Price's right.
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: Twenty five yard line.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was close.
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: Not a good punt, A twenty five yard punt, no return.
• 2:13:14
  Ten fifty two to play the ball game? Will we
• 2:13:17
  have a time out? The signboard is lit up. We
• 2:13:22
  will get a timeout, so we'll take it with him.
• 2:13:24
  Ten fifty two to play in the ball game. Here
• 2:13:26

  a Kengarf sideline updates Sly with the exception of one
• 2:13:44
  play here in the second half, that bomb to Cyrus Allen,
• 2:13:47
  which was pretty Morgan, Scowley and the Utah defense have
• 2:13:50
  really tightened the screws on Soresby.
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 1: What have you seen? Yeah, it's just a storytelling of
• 2:13:54
  this game, right.
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 4: The league keeps growing and Morgan is now able to
• 2:13:59
  establish more pressure. Soursby feels that pressure. He's getting a
• 2:14:02
  ball out quicker yet an easy to be That was
• 2:14:05
  the game plan going in. Morgus Golly's doing a great
• 2:14:08
  job of understanding what Cincinnati's trying to do, whether it's
• 2:14:11
  running on first down or passing.
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: So Marcus Golly has Cincinnati's numbers. Thank you, Sly. Silight
• 2:14:19
  update brought to you by Ken Garth.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 3: We hear you.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: Ten fifty two to play in this one.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 2: Utah with the football at their own twenty five yard
• 2:14:27
  line leading thirty eight to fourteen, Daniel Bray will be
• 2:14:32
  your tail back. Two tights and two wides here for Utah.
• 2:14:35
  Devin in the shotgun on first and ten Cincinnati with
• 2:14:38
  four men down, and Devon's gonna keep it himself and
• 2:14:41
  he'll pick up a much. He looks like a bit
• 2:14:44
  of a reluctant runner at times tonight, Scott maybe he's
• 2:14:47
  not a completely healthy again.
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: Rogers made the tack let picked up about three.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's really just, hey, I'm gonna get a
• 2:14:53
  decent amount here and just not over extend myself on
• 2:14:56
  what's happening. Yeah, I think an interesting thing that you're
• 2:15:00
  I've seen a lot of players who weren't in this
• 2:15:01
  program a year ago are now starting to get comfortable here.
• 2:15:04
  You're hearing names Weld never heard of. They weren't even
• 2:15:06
  in this program, And I think that's part of you know,
• 2:15:10
  nil stuff where players need time to acclimate.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 2: Bert Fickland's going to rotate into the backfield now, Devin
• 2:15:16
  dam Pierre will split out wide to the left hand side.
• 2:15:19
  Bird hands it Wayshan Parker's got a thirty on his feet.
• 2:15:22
  He belted down at about the thirty three yard line,
• 2:15:26
  five yard gain. On the play, wasy Shan took a
• 2:15:29
  big old hit Jonathan Thompson applying it Parkerman third down.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 3: At two, he is not afraid to mix it up
• 2:15:35
  in there. He runs hard, he runs up although Dan
• 2:15:38
  Pierre had a chance to block for him, and he
• 2:15:40
  kind of became a spectator there.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 2: He made a business decision, probably a wise one. Dayshan
• 2:15:46
  Parker three yard shy of one hundred yards utah six
• 2:15:50
  out of thirteen. On third down, it's third down and
• 2:15:52
  two right here, shoot, I line up with that jump
• 2:15:55
  bo set and just run off that left hand side.
• 2:15:57
  That's kind of what they're doing right now. The shotgun's
• 2:16:00
  gonna bring a man in motion and he's going to
• 2:16:02
  keep it himself. And he's got the thirty five and
• 2:16:04
  down to about the thirty seven yard went down awkwardly?
• 2:16:08
  Did damp Pierre tackled on the play by Sims the linebacker,
• 2:16:13
  but he picked up four in the first down.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And clearly Devon's not, you know, at one hundred percent.
• 2:16:19
  And I still think he's like, I'm not letting Bird
• 2:16:22
  back in the game because I'm not losing my spot.
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 2: Clock running at nine minutes to play now in the
• 2:16:28
  third quarter, way Sean Parker back in three yards shy
• 2:16:31
  of one hundred he's the Wildcat quarterback right now, at
• 2:16:34
  least for the moment.
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 1: Now, he'll line up next to Devon damp here.
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a long play clock here. Devin's like, look, guys,
• 2:16:43
  let's get in the huddle. You don't want to line
• 2:16:46
  those big, heavy guys up at the line of scrimmage
• 2:16:48
  and get him in. That stands for a long time
• 2:16:50
  because it's hard to get out of that stance when
• 2:16:53
  you get down in it for a while.
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 2: JJ Buchanon and Ryan Davis not even going in the huddle.
• 2:16:57
  They'll break the huddle with about thirteen seconds to play,
• 2:17:00
  the play clock, eight and a half to play on
• 2:17:02
  the game clock. First down in ten for the thirty
• 2:17:06
  seven yard line, hand off Wayshan straight ahead into the
• 2:17:10
  hole forty and he's right at the one hundred yard mark.
• 2:17:14
  He needed three to get to one hundred, and he's
• 2:17:16
  right there. Way Shawan Parker with a one hundred yard
• 2:17:18
  rushing affair back to back one hundred rushing weeks for
• 2:17:21
  Wayshean Parker.
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he really deserved it tonight.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was.
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 3: He was a guy. He's spark plug man. He played
• 2:17:28
  played hard, play tough. We'll start sure that yet they
• 2:17:31
  give it to him right on the nose. Now he
• 2:17:33
  just can't lose any yards. Starting to emerge as a
• 2:17:36
  as a leader on his team.
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 2: Only a sophomore transfer from Washington State. Second down in seven,
• 2:17:42
  then way Shawn out, Daniel Bray in. He'll motion out
• 2:17:46
  of the backfield. Now he motions back in play action
• 2:17:50
  pass for Devin down the scene.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: Oh man, he had a man open.
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 2: That was Dallan Bentley. I don't know the Dallon looked
• 2:17:57
  up and saw the football. That was pretty well throme
• 2:18:00
  that was.
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 3: And that was the one earlier and Devin couldn't see
• 2:18:03
  him earlier and threw it late. And now he threw
• 2:18:04
  it too early here, but it's certainly right there and
• 2:18:07
  it's open. Oh oh, it's like, huh, just a touch
• 2:18:10
  behind you?
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 2: Third down at seven here for you, doll the seven
• 2:18:14
  to fourteen tonight, one out of four and a half,
• 2:18:17
  one for one on the drive.
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: Gotta get to a forty seven for a first down.
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 2: Bray in the backfield, Ryan Davis in motion Devin to
• 2:18:27
  pass plenty of time all day. In fact, he's going
• 2:18:29
  to scramble out to his right into trouble throw. It
• 2:18:32
  completed the forty to the forty one. It's gonna be
• 2:18:35
  a one yard game.
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 1: On the play.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 2: For JJ Buchanan as he's stocked down in front of
• 2:18:42
  the Bearcat bench. I don't know that Devin necessarily needed
• 2:18:45
  to scramble out there, did he No?
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 3: In fact, if you just step up in the pocket,
• 2:18:50
  he might have run for about a week, might have
• 2:18:53
  run into next next week's by week if he just
• 2:18:55
  kept just stepped up in the pocket right there.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 2: So the punt team comes out, Manny Covey back to
• 2:19:02
  receive the punt. Ryan Phillips, who's been okay tonight, butting
• 2:19:07
  the football for Utah two on the play clock. They
• 2:19:14
  take the snap back or Ryan gets the kick away,
• 2:19:17
  Cincinnati not pressuring a little bit better kick Covey takes
• 2:19:20
  it and then he's dropped immediately in his own nineteen
• 2:19:24
  yard line. Good coverage of the play by Utah JC
• 2:19:30
  hard down there for Utah backup corner back. We'll probably
• 2:19:33
  see JC out here on the field momentarily got a
• 2:19:37
  time out on the field with six forty to play
• 2:19:39
  the ball game all Utah right now here. They lead
• 2:19:43
  Cincinnati the Bearcats for the first time ever, meeting him
• 2:19:46
  head to head on the field thirty eight to fourteen.
• 2:19:48
  And this is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred to
• 2:19:51
  the Youth Sports Radio Network, University of Utah Health and
• 2:19:55
  sports medic and experts give you the same great care
• 2:19:57
  they give the utes because you belong back in the
• 2:19:59
  game as much as anyone. Plaedo won five eight seven,
• 2:20:02
  twenty two, twenty two where sportsmeddi view of you, Health
• 2:20:05
  dot Org. It's always a good son, generally a good
• 2:20:08
  sign with Dave Spatimore goes to his binder. Got a
• 2:20:11
  big old binder over here with lots of information in it,
• 2:20:14
  and Dave tells me this is the first time Utah
• 2:20:18
  has had a two hundred yard passer one hundred yard
• 2:20:21
  rusher to one hundred yard receiver since the USC game
• 2:20:25
  in twenty twenty three. Wow, tonight, Dan Pierce got two thirteen,
• 2:20:29
  Parker's got one hundred, and Davis has one thirty two.
• 2:20:33
  That night, Barnes had two thirty five, Jackson won seventeen,
• 2:20:36
  and Vaki one forty nine. Quick pass over the middle,
• 2:20:40
  and he had to get rid of it quickly. He
• 2:20:43
  heard footsteps with seeing ghosts and tried to get that
• 2:20:46
  Baldimiseiah Johnson didn't complete second down coming up.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a fun thing to watch here with
• 2:20:52
  quarterback just just you know, there's not been any sacks,
• 2:20:57
  but man, the defense has been in his head in
• 2:21:00
  the second half.
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 1: Most of the starters on defense out of the ballgame.
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 2: Right now, Chance Williams, your tail back, second down to
• 2:21:10
  ten at the nineteen source be back pedals, fires to
• 2:21:14
  the outside, caught excellent grab, going up the ladder to
• 2:21:17
  climb and get it.
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 1: Cotton had the coverage.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 2: And that was Noah Jennings who came down with the
• 2:21:23
  catch very close to first down yard as will they.
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: Give it to him?
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 2: They're gonna say, no, it's gonna be third down. Hope,
• 2:21:34
  they're gonna move the change now they are gonna give
• 2:21:36
  it to him. I think, yeah, I can't tell. Chains
• 2:21:40
  on the far side say yes. Chain on the airside
• 2:21:43
  here says third down.
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 3: We're confused. I don't think it was the first down.
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 2: I thought he was about a half a yard shy,
• 2:21:51
  but the guys on the far sideline were saying move
• 2:21:53
  the chains. So third down at about half a yard
• 2:21:57
  here for the Bearcats, Well, the Zebras are huddling right
• 2:22:02
  about the twenty nine yard line to.
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 6: Feel it the first down.
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, they didn't eyeball it, they didn't measure it.
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 2: They just said move those chains and they will first
• 2:22:12
  down for Cincinnati at the twenty nine yard line.
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe as forward progress was stopped, but he went
• 2:22:20
  backwards out of bounds.
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 2: Sores b empties the backfield. He's got his tight end
• 2:22:26
  to the right slot, two receivers left and right. Now
• 2:22:29
  he brings Manny Covey back into the backfield on first
• 2:22:31
  down in ten clock running at five point fifty five
• 2:22:34
  to play speed option to the outside. Covey is going
• 2:22:36
  to be belted the balls out and Utah's got it
• 2:22:39
  up the sideline.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 1: They go and out of bounds. That's Levanni to Mooney.
• 2:22:46
  Manny Covey coughed it up.
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 2: Levani to Mooney, scooped it up and Utah's forced another turnover.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this play was just kind of dead from the beginning, and.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 2: Speed option to the beer bound is never going to
• 2:23:00
  be a good call. And then Cubby got blown up
• 2:23:03
  and coughed it up.
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if you'd even call it speed anything.
• 2:23:06
  It was kind of slow and slow developing. And I
• 2:23:10
  always like to see those guys. You know your second
• 2:23:12
  teamers come in and play well because you don't know
• 2:23:15
  where you know tiebreakers? You know, I know we've still
• 2:23:18
  got some games to play, but score matters to some extent.
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 2: Bird Ficklin in a quarterback here for you, Tom first
• 2:23:26
  and ten at the Bearcat twenty six.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 3: Throw it deep.
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 2: Got a couple of receivers on the left hand side,
• 2:23:33
  Simmons and Davis. Ficklin with Rogers in the backfield, must
• 2:23:39
  stick it around to watch this one. Bird brings a
• 2:23:43
  man in motion, hands it to that man out on
• 2:23:46
  the edge. That's Nate Johnson. Inside the twenty and down
• 2:23:50
  to the Bearcat eighteen yard line.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 1: Goes Nate Johnson for a game of eight.
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 3: That's kind of in Nate Johnson's play, you know that
• 2:23:58
  kind of white sweep there and runs it fairly effective.
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 2: Nate's a junior fifth trip into the can you have
• 2:24:08
  you credit union red zone? Tonight, Utah three out of
• 2:24:10
  four clock running at five fifteen to play the ball game.
• 2:24:15
  See if Utah can stick one more in here tonight
• 2:24:18
  make the bear Cats pay for that turnover. Play clock
• 2:24:22
  at eight as they break the huddle, Fickling hands straight
• 2:24:30
  ahead that's wy Sean Parker inside the fifteen to the
• 2:24:35
  fourteen a game of for He pads that one hundred
• 2:24:38
  yard rushing gay up to one hundred and four yards
• 2:24:40
  and that's gonna be first down for Utah.
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that just ended up in a pile of people.
• 2:24:46
  Psych Everyone on the field was just hugging each other
• 2:24:49
  and they finally blew the whistle.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 2: Four thirty five to play. Was shan out of the ballgame,
• 2:24:54
  likely done for the Nights. First and ten at the
• 2:24:57
  bear Cat fourteen Otto Tia rights Fickland in the gun,
• 2:25:06
  Rogers next to him, Nate Johnson split wide to the
• 2:25:10
  left hand side.
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 1: He'll come in motion. Fickland's going to keep it himself.
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 2: Bird bouncing to the outside, has the ten, has the five,
• 2:25:18
  and he's belt it out at.
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 1: The two yard line. Twelve yard game for Bird.
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 2: Fickland inches away from a touchdown first in goal Utah
• 2:25:29
  at the two.
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nice patients here and just kind of, you know,
• 2:25:35
  giving a little shake to the inside, freezing the defense
• 2:25:38
  and then popping around the end. Almost got in.
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 1: Fickland stays in the ball game for Utah.
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 2: Will they go jumbo here with Nakari Rodgers who's got
• 2:25:47
  a touchdown already. Tonight they do big man in the
• 2:25:53
  backfield with Rogers Fickland turning, rolling, looking to throw, mbling around,
• 2:26:01
  looking toward the end zone. He's gonna tuck it and run.
• 2:26:03
  Oh built it again, stays on his feet into the
• 2:26:07
  end zone. Touchdown. He would not be denyed Bird Ficklin
• 2:26:12
  from two yards out.
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 3: I think he could have made it easier on himself
• 2:26:17
  to throw it to it a couple of people who
• 2:26:20
  are wide open there, but he wasn't. I mean, he
• 2:26:23
  got nailed and had the presence to kind of keep
• 2:26:26
  his feet there. I hope he's okay, because he kind
• 2:26:29
  of looked a little woozy there when he was walking
• 2:26:32
  back to order.
• 2:26:32
  Speaker 2: Take You tell us got a bye week next week,
• 2:26:35
  and I don't know that they'll need him again tonight
• 2:26:38
  to do anything but hand off.
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 1: That was a heck of a big boy touchdown. You're right.
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 2: He had about three guys over, but he didn't throw
• 2:26:45
  it to any of them. Then he tucked it and ran.
• 2:26:47
  He took a gigantic hit at the once, stayed on
• 2:26:50
  his feet and got into the end zone. I think
• 2:26:53
  it was Logan Wilson maybe or was it thirty one?
• 2:26:55
  Simmey and Coley was Simmy and Coleman.
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's a Pepsi touchdown for Bird Fickland pat here
• 2:27:02
  for Dylan Curtis up and good. Bird Fickland now on
• 2:27:08
  the year, has five rushing touchdowns and Utah leaved Cincinnati
• 2:27:11
  forty five to fourteen with three twenty five to play.
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 3: You know, one of the things I think I've liked
• 2:27:17
  most about this game is, you know, this is a
• 2:27:19
  this is a big game, It's a game you have
• 2:27:21
  to win. It's again a really good opponent. You know,
• 2:27:25
  there's been a lot of national attention to the game,
• 2:27:27
  and Utah really answered showed up big time tonight, scoring.
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 2: Drive four plays twenty six yards to twenty one and
• 2:27:34
  Pickland with a touchdown, a Pepsi touchdown the official soft
• 2:27:37
  drink of Utah football. Yeah, I'd say this one's in
• 2:27:41
  the back. Tonight forty five fourteen second ranked opponent. Utah
• 2:27:45
  will have beaten here at rice Ecles this year. They
• 2:27:47
  lost to Texas Tech and they meet Arizona State and
• 2:27:51
  they have pounded Cincinnati tonight. Cincinnati teen that came in
• 2:27:55
  undefeated in the Big twelve.
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know I made that comment about you're
• 2:27:59
  starting to see players who came here into the program.
• 2:28:02
  I almost half the team was new this year, and
• 2:28:06
  it's it has taken some time for this team to
• 2:28:08
  gel and and they've just gotten better and better as
• 2:28:11
  the year has gone by. And and you're starting to
• 2:28:14
  see the fruits of some of these guys being in
• 2:28:17
  the program for a minute.
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 2: Philip Curtis will kick it off north to south. Cincinnati
• 2:28:24
  has shown no propensity to want to run it out.
• 2:28:26
  They don't it on this one either. It's a touchback
• 2:28:29
  and the Bearcats and I'm gonna guess Brendan Soresby's gonna
• 2:28:32
  be done for the night. We'll probably see backup quarterback
• 2:28:34
  Brady Lichtenberg for the final three twenty five, and we will.
• 2:28:39
  There's no sense of putting Soresby back out there right now, is.
• 2:28:42
  Speaker 3: There, Scott Well, No, And he's got a baseball hat on.
• 2:28:44
  They're getting so it looks like his night is over.
• 2:28:48
  And especially when the other guy throws a lot of
• 2:28:50
  passes on the sideline, you know, it's that nervous energy
• 2:28:53
  he's like for some reason, you think if you throw
• 2:28:55
  five or six passes really quick, you're gonna be ready
• 2:28:57
  to go in the game. But I don't know that
• 2:28:59
  it really matters.
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on tonight. But there's a
• 2:29:03
  section of the muss up high on the east side
• 2:29:06
  of gentlemen, young students, males that have their shirts all off.
• 2:29:11
  Here's a run on first down after about the thirty
• 2:29:14
  yard line by Chance Williams. I mean, I saw in
• 2:29:17
  another college there's some sort of trend going on in
• 2:29:20
  college football because it was hitting stadiums all over the
• 2:29:23
  country today and Rice Eckels is the latest.
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 1: Well and they're sticking around.
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 3: They love that.
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 2: You know, second down and five Chance Williams stays in
• 2:29:32
  the ballgame Linkedinberg, your backup quarterback, moves him back into
• 2:29:36
  a pistol formation. They handed to him again, and he
• 2:29:39
  runs forward and burrows his head down, gets about two
• 2:29:43
  more yards out near the thirty four it'll be third
• 2:29:45
  down in the yard coming up to forty five to
• 2:29:48
  play the clock running you top.
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 1: Forty five Cincinnati fourteen. It would be a really nice
• 2:29:53
  way to go into the byeweed one.
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 3: It's got I'll me phenomenal and just kind of sensus.
• 2:29:59
  Utah team is just really kind of getting into its
• 2:30:01
  own rhythm here and just you know, they had some
• 2:30:04
  problems earlier defensively and it was almost just over pursuing,
• 2:30:07
  and they figured that out and stopped the run and
• 2:30:10
  it just kind of shut down Cincinnati.
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 2: Third down one strength on the right side of the
• 2:30:14
  line here for the Bearcats.
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 1: They handed the chance Williams.
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 2: He breaks out of a tackle and he gets that
• 2:30:19
  first down yardage out to about the thirty eight yard line.
• 2:30:22
  They had him dead the rights of the backfield, but
• 2:30:24
  couldn't wrap him up and bring him down. Lance Holtzklaw
• 2:30:27
  finally made the tackle.
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the quarterback wanted to keep that one
• 2:30:31
  and running back just stole it away from him.
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 2: That was Cash Dyllan that had him and they couldn't
• 2:30:38
  wrap him up. Takes us to the two minute timeout,
• 2:30:41
  likely our final time out of the Knights. We'll take
• 2:30:43
  that time out with him and come back for the
• 2:30:45
  final two minutes here at Rice Ecle Stadium, all Utah
• 2:30:47
  Tonight from the Big O'd Tires Broadcast booth at Utah
• 2:30:51
  forty five and Cincinnati fourteen.
• 2:30:53

• 2:31:02

  Speaker 2: Easy to drink, it easy to enjoy in our friends

• 2:31:21
  forty five Cincinnati fourteen with two minutes to play the
• 2:31:24
  ball game, a great way to go into the bye week.
• 2:31:26
  Utah will be at Waco to play Baylor coming up
• 2:31:30
  on the fifteenth of November, and in Kansas State here
• 2:31:34
  for the final home game on the twenty second, then
• 2:31:36
  wrapping it up at the University of Kansas. None of
• 2:31:39
  those teams are playing great football this year. The Baylor
• 2:31:41
  got a nice win today, Kansas State played well for
• 2:31:44
  a while against Tech and then they kind of fell
• 2:31:47
  apart in the fourth quarter. And Kansas they're hard to figure.
• 2:31:50
  They look good at times, but they haven't been I
• 2:31:52
  don't think as good as they thought.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 3: They'd be this year either. No, I don't think any
• 2:31:56
  of those teams are as good as Utah, and Utah
• 2:31:58
  is playing really quite out right now. But got to
• 2:32:02
  show up every week and do your job.
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 2: Johnson's going to be the tailback we saw him really
• 2:32:06
  early tonight. Then he went away. Now he's back again.
• 2:32:08
  Zion Johnson with Lichtenberg Yar quarterback. First and ten, they
• 2:32:13
  run the speed option to the near boundary side forty
• 2:32:15
  five and that of bounds in about the forty eight
• 2:32:17
  yard line goes Ion Johnson.
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a player. I thought they would try more in
• 2:32:23
  the second half. Of course, they had the fumble, but
• 2:32:26
  you know, I surprised they didn't do more of that.
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 2: And Rock Caldwell forced him out of bounds. That's ten
• 2:32:34
  yards in a first down. Johnson stays in the ball
• 2:32:36
  game here. I want to give up a late winner
• 2:32:39
  at cheap be here for your Utah. They're subbing late.
• 2:32:42
  They get their man off the field, plenty of time
• 2:32:44
  on the play clock. Pistol formation trying to give again
• 2:32:48
  to Johnson. He squirts through a hole, stays on his feet.
• 2:32:51
  He's at the forty and finally down at the Utah
• 2:32:53
  thirty eight. Bad tackling there by Utah. They had him
• 2:32:56
  not once but twice and let him out.
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, someone was in the backfield. I don't know who
• 2:33:00
  it was. They had the bag. He just got pushed
• 2:33:02
  out of the play. I think he would have had.
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 2: It so Zion Johnson running hard here late Cincinnati all
• 2:33:08
  the way to the Utah thirty seven here with a
• 2:33:11
  minute thirty eight to play. Now, the quarterback pitches to
• 2:33:14
  the outside. This time he's he's not gonna get there.
• 2:33:18
  Excellent play coming up to knock him down. Rock Caldwell,
• 2:33:22
  he said, I saw that coming, and you're not gonna
• 2:33:24
  run that on me again.
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 1: He picked up just two yards and that's why what
• 2:33:27
  should have happened earlier in the game.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 3: And it's it's that safety who has the pitch man.
• 2:33:32
  It's good play right there.
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 2: Second down at eight from the Utah thirty five, a
• 2:33:36
  minute twelve to play. Now with the ball game, Johnson
• 2:33:40
  stays in a tail back two tights and two wides
• 2:33:43
  for lichten Berg.
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 1: He's gonna run that option play again.
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 2: This time he keeps it and he'll be wrapped up
• 2:33:48
  and taken down right here the line of scrimmage.
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 1: Cash dillan in on that tackle. Poopoo was in the
• 2:33:55
  area as.
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 3: Well, kind of wearing out that speed option here. It's
• 2:33:59
  that's how figured it out, though.
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 1: I think they're just trying to get to the end
• 2:34:02
  of the game.
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 2: I yeah, then just run the you know, dive third
• 2:34:07
  down and seven here as we dip under forty seconds
• 2:34:09
  to play, might be the final play of the ballgame.
• 2:34:11
  We'll see pistol formation for Lichtenberg, eight of the box
• 2:34:16
  for Utah.
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 1: They turn and they handed off to Johnson. He bounces outside.
• 2:34:19
  Speaker 2: Look out, he's got the twenty eights and very close
• 2:34:23
  to first down yard.
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 1: It should be about a.
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 2: Yard shy half a yard shot. It's close, and the
• 2:34:28
  clock continues to run twenty Well, they run another play.
• 2:34:32
  Will Scott Saderfield run one more? Probably k nots.
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: Well, that's gonna do it. Ten seconds now, Cincinnati.
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 2: Ben's over and they know that Utah was the better
• 2:34:45
