  Speaker 1: Utah fans, good afternoon and welcome to a sun-filled Salt
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Lake City, Utah, and to Rice Eccles Stadium. A sellout
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: for a 98th consecutive Saturday as we get you ready
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for Utah and Utah State squaring off for the 114th
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: time all-time, the Battle of the Brothers. as they come
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: down from Logan for the first time since 2015. I'm
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Bill Riley, so glad to be with you on this Saturday.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Joined by my broadcast partner, Stevenson Sylvester, and the third
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: member of our broadcast team, Zach Moss, is downstairs. Sly,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: this is a rivalry that goes back all the way
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to 1892. They don't play all the time anymore, but
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it's still a big in-state game, and the Aggies are
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: trying to get back on the win board this year.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: They don't have one. Utah trying to stay perfect.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all about Utah taking care of themselves here.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Utah knows they're a dominant team.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: They've shown great in the first couple of weeks.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It's about consistency and not letting a team that's doing better.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: They're getting a lot more motivation from their last game.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: From the first game to the second game, they're getting
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: better week to week. I know they're 0-2. as far
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: as the win-loss is concerned, but they're striving to be better,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and there's no better time to get a win than
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: against your rivals in Utah.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Well, Bronco Mendenhall's the head coach of the BYU Cougars.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: He's played many a game here, and he's coached against Utah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: He's instilled a culture. He's instilled this confidence. Now they've
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: got to show it on the field. The other side
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: for Utah, Morgan Scali tried to be the first Utah
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: coach to win his first four games as a head
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: coach since Jim Fossil all the way back in 1985.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: How do they do it today?
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, and stay true to themselves, right?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Take advantage of opportunities that are presented to themselves. If
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: their defense gets exotic, wants to do a whole bunch
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: of looks, quick snap them, up-tempo, down-tempo on offense, get
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the ball to your playmakers as they have been in
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the first two games.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Defensively, if they're going to throw you the ball.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Make it happen.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Catch the ball today, get.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Back into the end zone, put your offense in prime
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: field position or score yourself.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Downstairs to the third member of our broadcast team. He's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: in and amongst everyone today here at Rice-Eckel Stadium. Zach
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Moss with us. Zach, what's the vibe on the field?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: What are you feeling on that Utah sideline right now?
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: It's some great energy down here right now. It's a 1.30 game.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: You know, we have this kryptonite of having these day games,
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: but these fans are really going to be a real
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: good game.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Zach, thank you very much. That sideline update brought to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you by Ken Garf. We hear you. Utah State won
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the toss. They've deferred to the second half, so Utah
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: will get the ball first here today. We don't see
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that a lot. Utah usually wins. They defer. They take
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that ball in the second half. So we'll see the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: offense early here, just in early spat stat. Dave Spadafore,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: my statistician, says he's on his game already today. How
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: about this? Utah has scored on 66 of their possessions
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: this year. They have 15 touchdowns and one field goal.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's awesome.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. It's a scouting report thing. What
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: do you need in this game, right?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I think we do have the advantage on the defensive
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: side of the ball versus their offense. They come in
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: here with a very exciting defense.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: They get after you.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: They're tough.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: As we've said, Bronco Mendenhall type of defense.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You need to get your offense rolling. There's no better
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: way than starting this. And, you know, the first... The
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: first series is always scripted, right? And then the game
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: goes off of what you're feeling and what you're doing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And so I think Utah's coming here with a really
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: good game plan to start this football game. And they
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: want to start it on offense.

• 3:35
  Speaker 1: bit of sun poking through here this afternoon. Should be
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a great afternoon for football. High temperature hitting about 70
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: midway through here this afternoon. Utah State will kick it
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: off north to south here in front of this sellout
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: crowd for a 97th, now 98th consecutive game. Utah in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the red jerseys, red pants, and white helmets. Utah State
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: in the blue helmets, white jerseys, and blue pants.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the message that we're going to be
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: asking ourselves after the game is, did Utah take advantage
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: of the opportunities that they were presented to them, right?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: From the return game to the defense offense, did Utah
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: take advantage of the opportunities today? I'm very looking forward
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to seeing how Utah attacks Utah State today.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Aggies have it teed up at their own 35. We're
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: waiting on our friends from TV to tell us it's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: okay to go. Daniel Bray back to receive this Utah kick.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: We don't see many kick returns in college football anymore.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Certainly don't see many kick returns at altitude anymore. We'll
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: see what we have right here. Aggies and Utes for
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the 114th time all time, and so glad to be
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: with you, whether you're listening in and around the stadium today,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: in and around the state of Utah, the country, or
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: around the world. We love having you part of our
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Saturdays here on the Utah Sports Radio Network. It's Utah
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: State and Utah. And I think we're just about ready
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to go here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Making us wait. What's
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that old song? Anticipation. It's making me wait.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: It's what it feels like in here. The TV's making us,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: holding us up a little bit. If you're just like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the Musts, you're like, get this thing kicked off.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Let's go.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Musts is in full effect today. All 8,000 plus on
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the east side of Rice-Eccles Stadium.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: They look glorious over there, don't they?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They do. They're out. The band is here. Sellout crowd.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It's a great day for football. We'll see what Devin Dampier...
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And Bronco and Kevin McGiven and Braden Pagan have for
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: their old buddy, Bronco Mendenhall today. All three played for
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Bronco in the last couple of years. Devin at New
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Mexico and Kevin McGiven and Braden Pagan last year up
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: at Utah State. Are we ready to go? Yeah, we are.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Now Utah State's going to bring it in. Utah's going
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to creep up toward here with the hands team just
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to see. Now they're going to back off again. Daniel
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Bray will step back toward his goal line, and we're
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: ready to go finally here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. It's the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Aggies and the Utes. The battle of the brothers is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: underway here in Salt Lake City. High end over end kick.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray is going to take it and then let
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it hit over his head out of bounds. It goes
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: for a touchback, and Utah will start first and ten.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: at their own 25-yard line. Devin Dampier is off to
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a terrific start this year. Will lead the offense out.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Bud Light proudly welcomes the Utes to the field. Bud Light,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: easy to drink and easy to enjoy. Sly, I'm going
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to be curious to see how this offensive line performs.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: They've been good the first two weeks.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a very unique style of defense. This 3-3-5,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you don't know who that fourth rusher is going to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: be on each side. It's kind of like defending the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: 3-4 defense. And the way Bronco Mendenhall runs, it's going
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to be very interesting.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Three receivers, now they bring Wayshon Parker back into the backfield.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Two tight ends on the field as well on first
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: down and 10. Dampier, play action, throws it to the outside.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: He's got Pagan who spins away from a tackler, 35,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and out to about the 39-yard line he goes. If
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he breaks that tackle, he is up the sideline and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: out the gate instead of 14-yard gain and a first down.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon Pagan gots a lot of speed, so if
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: he does get that little bit of daylight, you can say,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: see you later.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Utah will go with a little tempo here after the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: 14-yard gain. The Ivory Homes first down. Dampier, play action again,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: outside again. Receiver makes a man miss on the outside,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: picks up about three yards. It's Braden Pagan again.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Gets him started early.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's off to a good start. Quick tackle on
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the outside by the quarterback that time. Mark Grant.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love this strategy, right? You're getting a very
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: aggressive defense up front. What you watch from Washington, they
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: got back there on Washington extremely fast, extremely early. This
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: is how you loosen that defense up. Throw the ball
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: out wide and wide plays.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Receiver in motion, Creed Whittemore. Play action, Devon's going to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: keep it himself. That was a little bit of a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: miss that time. And he scrambles out, loses the football.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and falls on it again out near first down yardage,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: about a yard shy at the 48-yard line. He went down,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and that ball popped out for just a minute.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: He's trying to stretch the ball out here. He wasn't
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: all the way down, so he's kind of doing a
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Spider-Man crawl, but he's kind of poking.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: The ball out.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: That's very dangerous in the middle of the field, but, like,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: he gets down here.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: He's trying to stretch the ball out.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: And the defense can come and club it, but he
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: gets down before that happens.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Third down and one for Utah, just shy of midfield.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Parker stays in the ballgame. They bring Ricky Johnson in motion.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Dampier's going to keep it himself out on the edge.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Devin's going to have first down yardage, 50, and Aggie territory, 45.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And down at the Aggie, 42-yard line for a gain
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: of nine, and an Ivory Holmes first down. Didn't look
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: pretty at first, but Devin got it done. James Jeanette,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the Sam linebacker, made the tackle.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: That's what's great about this offense, right? They could have
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: did so many different things. He could have thrown it
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to way Sean, He could have handed it off to
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Ricky Johnson and they would have had success, but he
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: kept it himself and then made it happen. That was
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a great, great play right there by Devin Dampier.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Well, there's no quarterback now in the backfield, but Ficklin
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and Dampier are on the field. Bird will come in
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: at quarterback. He'll be joined by Wayshon Parker, who motions
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: out on first and 10 for the Aggie 42. Ficklin's
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: going to keep it himself. He's got the 35 and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: tackled behind the 35 down at 37. For a gain
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of about four yards. That play looked like it had
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: more to it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: But he got stopped after about a four-yard gain. Lewis Chapman,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Chapman Lewis, I should say, the free safety made the tackle.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt like they got a lot on that play.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I think it was four yards. Utah State did a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: great job of defending that play, understanding exactly what it is.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: David Dampier out on the wing. They stacked the box.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: There's going to be something that comes off of that play,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: a throw or something that Utah State will have to
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: adjust to.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Creed Whittemore lined up in the backfield right now for
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Utah on second down and six. Creed motions out of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the backfield now, and it's Dampier by himself. Devin, play-action pass, looking, firing,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: ball batted down at the line of scrimmage. Do they
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: call that a fumble, or is that an incomplete pass?
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: They're going to call that an incomplete pass. Carson Tujay,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the defensive end, knocked that right out of the hand
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of Devin Dampier. That was close to a fumble, but incomplete.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Third down coming up.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a great job. He was gonna go
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: right back to to Creed winter more but to just
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: does a great job of causing Penetration gets around the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: guard and gets close to Devin and knocks that ball
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: down forcing the third down at.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Six I'm gonna guess this is four down territory if
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you're Utah. I know you got a great kicker third
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: down at six. Oh Devin takes the snap, backpedals, looking
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to throw one deep, flags fly, Whittemore out there, oh,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: he made the catch, then he dropped it, three flags
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: on the play, he was held on it, and it's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: going to be offsides as well here on Utah State,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the better penalty is going to be the pass interference,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: but man, oh man, that was a moon ball thrown
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: by Dampier, and Whittemore almost came down with it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: That's where you know where your receiver's going.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: But there's like four flags on the field for four
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: different penalties, I felt like, from defensive holding, defensive offside,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: defensive pass interference. There was a lot of penalties on
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Utah State on that play right there.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: There is laundry all over the field. They're mostly at
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: about the 24-yard line, one at the 18-yard line as well.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Utah's going to have their choice of penalties. I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: they're going to get a first down out of one
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of them. Here's our referee.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: Illegal substitution, 12-player formation after the defy.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Pass interference, spot foul.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: So they had 12 on the field. They declined that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: They took the pass interference. That'll be a 15-yard penalty
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and a first down for Utah. That was a mess
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: for Utah State. Utah will keep the drive alive and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: move the chains to about the, oh, we'll call it
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: about the 24, maybe 23-yard line, first down and 10.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Number eight, pass to the first.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray in the backfield this time on first down
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and 10 from the Aggie 24-yard line for Devin Dampier.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Hunter Andrews goes in motion. Devin gives it to Macon,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: keeps it himself. Faked that hand off to Bray, kept
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: it himself. Probably should have given that to Daniel Bray.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: He'd still be running toward Logan right now instead of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: two-yard gain for Devin Dampier.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: That's one of the things. Yeah, the read was there
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: for a quarterback key, but you've got to understand Daniel
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Bray's read is something that's different. He gets by that
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: initial D in, which he did right there. That's all
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: open spaces for him. And I'm sure they're going to
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: go back to that play here either next series or
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: down the line here.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: We've got a full house backfield. Ficklin, Dampier, Parker, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Bray all in the ballgame. Now they motion Bird out
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of the backfield. Three in the backfield right now for Utah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: They throw it over the middle.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Caught.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: That's Braden Pagan at about the 15. And a flag flies.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: This one may be on Utah. We'll see if they
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: had an illegal man downfield. They may have. Hamblin made
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the tackle from his safety spot. When he pumped that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: ball the first time, the lineman released. The ball was
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: supposed to be out. He was supposed to be out.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: That's why the lineman released. That's why it's an illegal
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: man downfield on Utah. And that play will not stand.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: It'll be second down and they'll back it up. Calling
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: about five yards to about the 28-yard line.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll take the penalty over the interception right there
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: because pumping it, that was good. Utah State did a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: great job of having that covered. As we said, this
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: defense does a good job of being aggressive and staying
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: on their keys. They cause a lot of confusion with
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: their sets. But Devin did a good job of pulling
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that down. But unfortunately, the offensive line was downfield.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So make it now second down at about 14 back
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: at the 28-yard line. Whittemore in motion. Play clock down
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to two as Devin takes the snap. Play action pass.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Dampier lots of time. Surveys the field. Toward the end zone.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Looking for Whittemore. Out there. Caught! And dropped.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Incomplete.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: He had it for a minute. Marky Grant had the coverage.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It was the back of the end zone, and it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: goes incomplete. Third down and long coming up.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had Creed a couple times, but it's when
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: he's seen him, but he was able to set his
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: feet and drop it into the back of the end zone.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I bet if there was more field.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: That would have been a completion, but Devin's trying to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: drop it, understand where the back of the end zone is,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: to drop that to Creed Whittemore. There just wasn't enough
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: real estate for Creed Whittemore to pull that in, but
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: that was a great play from both guys.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Third down and 14 for Utah. They're one for one
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: on third down today. They motion Parker out of the backfield.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Devon drops straight back to pass. Surveys the field. Looking. Throwing.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Man open. End zone.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: Caught.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Touchdown. Brayton Pagan.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: The former Aggie into the north end zone for a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Utah touchdown. He beat Marky Grant to the corner, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: he was all by himself. Sly, great throw by Devin Dampier.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Well, you got to shout out the offensive line, right?
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Offensive line gave him enough time to find that guy.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: He went through his progressions. He went through his progressions
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and then back to him. I think he went through
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: his progressions twice. He was able to step up into
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the pocket, find guys. He was going to go to
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the check down. He's like, wait, Braden Pagan is wide
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: open on my right side right here. Delivers a great ball.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Great job by Braden Pagan at uncovering in the end zone.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Brayden Pagan with the touchdown. His third of the year
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: capping a nine-play 75-yard drive. He was at all Mountain
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: West Conference. Wide receiver a year ago at Utah State,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and he's having a great year at Utah as well.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: That touchdown, a Pepsi touchdown. putting Utah up 7-0 with 10.37
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to play here in the first quarter. From the Big
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: O Tires broadcast booth at timeout on the field, this
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Radio Network.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: 10.37 to play here in the first 7-0 Utah. First
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: half being brought to you by Pepsi and Smiths. Save
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: on your PepsiCo products all year long. At Smiths, Pepsi
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: was made for Utes watching. Devin Dampier was watching.
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: Number 10 for Utah State is now wearing number 85.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Devin was watching that defense for what felt like five minutes, Sly,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and Pagan found himself wide open. What happened?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it was a great job by the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: offensive line at giving him time, but the defender got
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: into Brandon Pagan's way. Brandon Pagan was running a post route,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and the defender cut him off and got in his way,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: and there was contact, and so there was contact downfield,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: if you want to call it, if you're in the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: NFL or not. But he got off balance, and then
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Brandon Pagan, because Devin Dampier had so much time, reroutes
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to the corner route and comes wide open, and Devin
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Dampier finds him.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: It's an awesome job by those guys.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Touchdown brought to you by Pepsi. Nine plays, 75 yards,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: 423 off the game clock. Two third down conversions. Dylan
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Curtis has it teed up, ready to go from his
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: own 35. Knocks this one high and long. Noah White says, nope,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: not going to get that one. It goes out the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: back of the end zone for a touchback. And so,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: going to see Utah's defense for the first time. We
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: welcome the defense to the field. Brought to you by
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: our friends at DoTERRA. Utah's defense this year, Sly, has
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: only allowed scoring on 17% of the possession. 17. Three
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and one field goal.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's absolutely awesome what they've been able to
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: do but they've been playing extremely fast and extremely physical
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: and that has Gained the momentum throughout the games to
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: shut down their opponent. They know and understand their opponent
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: quickly in games That's a great job by Colton Swann.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Javen Jacobs the tailback Grady Brosterhaus making his second career
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: start for the Aggies today in it quarterback two tights
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and two wides on first and ten for the 25
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: they hand it to Jacobs bounces off a tackle burrows
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: his way down and pickups that picks up about three
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: yards Elijah Ellis was there as was the former Aggie
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Paul Fitzgerald on the tackle.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: As a great job Elijah Ellis comes a little wide
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: on the V gap blitz right there but gets back
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: into the mix and stops it for a three-yard game.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Second down and seven Ellis checks out of the ball
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: game for Utah roster house by himself he has four
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: pass catchers on the right side of the offensive line
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: now he brings Jacobs in motion into the right slot
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: he'll roll his pocket to the right hand side throwing
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it into the flat to Jacobs who steps out of
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: bounds and And about the 30-yard line for another gain
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: of about three. It'll be third down and five coming up.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they caught the defense slipping right there.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: They had the running back initially outside of the formation.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: He motioned him back inside and then quickly snapped it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: So the communication was lackadaisical on the defensive side of
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the ball, allowing that flat route to come open.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Third down and almost five. Four pass catchers, now five
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: in the pattern for Utah State. Empty backfield for Brosterhaus.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Utah's going to rush fourth. Now Brosterhouse is changing the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: play with 10 on the play clock. It gets loud
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: here at Rice-Eccles. No pressure this time for Utah. They're
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: going to play it straight across the line of scrimmage.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Rosterhouse rolling out over the middle. It's caught. Jacobs, he's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Trey Reynolds wraps him up and takes
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: him down right at the line of scrimmage, and that'll
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: bring up fourth down. Nice job by number 10 on
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the defense.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an awkward play right there. Why are you
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: rolling out and look like you're going to throw it
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: back right there? You're leading the defense to you when
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: you're rolling it out, and you're going to throw it
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: right to you. I don't really understand that offensive play,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: but I don't care either.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Utah did great.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Number 10 looked great out there.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Great job by Trey Reynolds.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Mata Carvalho back to receive this punt from Landon Rico.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Rico stands at his own 16-yard line. Rolls it to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the right. Rugby-style kick. High and end-over-end. Mata's going to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: fair catch it at his own 25-yard line. That was
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: a late fair catch. He was lucky he didn't get
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: clocked that time. Got a long snapper going downfield. Got
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a timeout on the field. Timeout brought to you by
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Bamboo HR. Win for your team with Bamboo HR. 840
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: to play here in the first quarter. Utah takes over
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: first and 10 with a 75-yard field when we get
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: back to Rice-Eccles Stadium. This is Utah football from ESPN
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Smiths
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Back at Rice-Eccles Stadium, 840 to play first quarter. Utah
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: football leading 7-0. First and 10th in their own 25-yard line.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Second drive for the Utes. You got Devin Dampier in there.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: He's joined in the backfield by Daniel Bray. Daniel will
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: take the handoff around the left side. Daniel Bray into
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the outside. He's got the 30, 35 still on his feet.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Wrapped up and taken down at the 39-yard line. Marky
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Grant in the corner made the tackle. Good 14-yard gain
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: on first down.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: We tell you they're going to come back to that, right?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: In my first drive, they should have handed it off.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: They didn't. They saw an opening right there, and it
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: came right.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Back to it. It's a great job by Daniel Bray.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: picking up a good chunk of yards there on first down.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Big personnel changes for both sides here on first and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: 10 out of 39. That first down brought to you
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: by Ivory Homes. Pistol formation this time. It's Wayshawn Parker
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: back at the ballgame for Utah. Devin Dampier takes the snap.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a flea flicker. Dampier scrambles away
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: from the pressure. It's got a man open down the field.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Ricky Johnson caught into Aggie territory and down at the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Utah State 43-yard line. Ricky Johnson ripped that ball away
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: from the corner with strong hands and picks up a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Utah first down.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Those were man hands right there.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Great job.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Well, good escape right now by Devin Dampier, man. Utah
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: State is getting into the backfield. Carson 2J is doing
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: a great job of causing penetration, causing issues in the backfield,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: but Devin Dampier is so elusive. if they can't get
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: a hold of him.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: 18 yards on the pitch and catch. Dampier to Ricky Johnson.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Now they motion Wayshon Parker into the backfield. He's a wildcat.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Field spread. Wayshon fakes the pass, breaks to the outside,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and is wrapped up and taken down after about a
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: two-yard gain. Nobody on the right side of that defensive
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: line was fooled that time for Utah State. Short game
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: for Dampier. Chapman out of the safety spot, made the tackle.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Louis Chapman does a great job because... If he
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't make that, that most likely is a touchdown.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: All right, it's a.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Great open field play right here. If he doesn't make
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: this tackle, Wayshawn is gone. It's a great play call
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: by the offense, but we just missed one block. Lewis
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Chapman coming down from the safety position right there makes
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: a great play in.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: The open field.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Trips on the right side for Utah on second down,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and we'll call it about eight yards to go. Now
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: they motion Parker out of the backfield and orbiting back
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: in again. Over the middle, ball deflected, nearly intercepted. Tried
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to get that ball to Creed Whittemore. It was tipped
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: And goes incomplete.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Third down coming up. That ball almost picked after the tip. Again,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: defensive end got his hands up and got it on there.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It's Tutama that made that deflection.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like third down is no issue for
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Utah the way they've attacked it, but it's a third
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: down and longer.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Utah two for two on third down, third down and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: eight for the Aggie 41-yard line. Devin's going to keep
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: it himself. That'll be first down. Yard is 35, down
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to the 30, and finally wrapped up and take it
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: down at the 29-yard line. They'll give him the 28.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: It's a gain of 13 yards and a first down.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Third down is just another down. Nothing serious.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: They make it look so easy.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: This offense is so talented, man. Oh, my gosh.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Going with tempo here on first and ten for the 28.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: An empty backfield here for Devin Dampier. He backpedals to
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: pass again. Surveys lots of time down the field. Has
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a man open. Caught. Oh, a toe tap on the sideline.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That was Larry Simmons who made the grab at.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: The Aggie 9.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: He tapped both toes and came down with it. David
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Cabango had the coverage, but Simmons made the catch and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: a huge gain of 19 yards for Utah. First and
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: goal at the 9-yard line. Dampier at the shotgun as
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they go with tempo. And what do we have?
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: The previous play is on the review.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Catch no offense I mean here's the thing it definitely
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: needs to be under review but his heels may have
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: been out but that is spectacular right the throw the
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: catch everything about it that it should have been intercepted
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: there's a defender right there defender is right there and
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: doesn't make that play that is excellent touch by Devin
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Dampier that is a way to get on the sideline
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: by Larry Simmons great execution if that's a.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Catch Both officials are there. They both signaled it a catch.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: You're right. It might have been his heels out of bounds,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: if anything. No, I think he caught that. I think
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the right foot or the left foot came down before
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the right foot did. I think that's going to be
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a catch.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: It's the same thing like the USC, when we played
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: that USC.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Game here, and Dalton Kincaid's catch, and everybody was just like,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: that wasn't a catch. And Dalton's like, you saw it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I did it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: If the refs are there and they see it, it's
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: not likely that they messed it up. But he's clearly
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: in right there. But when does he get control? Of
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: it is his heels down when he has control. That's
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: heels down, control, inbounds right there. That is a catch. Wow,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: what a play. I'm telling you, from both guys, Devin
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and Larry, tiptoeing the sideline right there.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: To be very fair.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: After he knew the room on the field was upheld, first.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Down, he took it. 19 yards. I'm not sure how
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: David Cabango did not come up with that interception. He
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: was right there.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: And so, again, that was the touch by Devin at
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: putting on the ball. So very, very impressive. You cannot
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: say that that was a bad throw. Devin did exactly
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: what he wanted to. He saw the defender there and
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: still threw it. Great job.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Canyon View Red Zone, KDV Credit Union Red Zone for
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the first time today for the University of Utah. First
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and ten, first and goal from the Utah State nine-yard line.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Dampier motions out way out to the right-hand side. Nobody
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: in the backfield right now as the quarterback. Now they're
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: going to bring Bird Ficklin in as quarterback. Devon stays
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: split out wide to the right-hand side. Still an empty backfield.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Bird takes the snap. Bird keeps it himself. Picks his
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: way forward. Walks into the end zone.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Touchdown.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Bird Finkland showing great patience, eluded one tackler, and walked
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: in untouched. That's a Utah touchdown.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I'm literally beside myself. That is so difficult to defend.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: You got Devin Dampier that starts.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: There out of the huddle.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: He motions all the way out.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: There is nobody in the backfield. Not Wayshawn Parker, not
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Bird Finkland.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: There's nobody in the backfield. You'd be like a defense, like,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: somebody's got to take this snap. Bird motions back, but Bird,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: you have to respect Bird because he's a quarterback. Swing
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: and gate here.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Here we go. A little swing and gate. Carvalho's got it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Monta toward the corner. Comes up short. Belted down. Nice
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: defensive play.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Timeout.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: B.J. Ducati, the outside linebacker. Ended up coming up with
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: that tackle. So last week the swinging gate worked. This
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: time it doesn't. 5.38 to play here in the first quarter.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: The touchdown counts, though. Bert Ficklin walking it in from
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: nine yards out. And with 5.38 to play here in
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the first. It's Utah 13 and Utah State nothing. For
• 26:06

• 26:16
  Speaker 8: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: 5.38 to play here in the first seven plays, 75 yards,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: capped by a Bert Ficklin nine-yard touchdown run. We head
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: down to the sideline. Our guy Zach Moss, he's here.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Don't worry. We worked through some technical issues. Zach, this
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: offense on its first two drives is clicking.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, they are. They are. They are definitely moving the
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: ball at will.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Getting into some adversity things that we haven't really seen,
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: some third and long situations, but literally overcoming them with
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: no problems. So 13 zip, Ficklin literally jogged into the
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: end zone. So, looking forward to see what they can
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: continue to do here.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: See if the defense can continue its three and out thing, too.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis has it teed up at his own 35,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: kicking south to north here. A little bit of a
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: breeze in his face, but that has not slowed Dylan down.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: He's been kicking it well this year, both PAT's field
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: goals and kickoffs. First half being brought to you by
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Minky Couture, blanket season. is on top of us now.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Get your Mickey blanket on top of you. Buy them
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in-store at one of their six locations or online. Mickey Couture,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: this is going to be another touchback. Noah White says, nope.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: It doesn't even hit the end zone. It hits out
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of bounds behind it. So you liked what you saw
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: in the opening drive slide with the defense. What do
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you do this time around?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Like was an understatement. This time around, I didn't like
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the laxical-daisicalness, if that's a word. On second down The
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: communication needs to be quicker. They're going hurry up Jonah
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Hall has to get that combo communication in a little
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: quicker because they're gonna try to up Timbo quick snap
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: you and that's where you can be At fault there
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: and so if they get that fix this defense was
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: running great on the.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Person Jacob's a tailback roster house the quarterback first intent
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: for the Aggie 25-yard line Utah crowd the line of
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: scrimmage flags fly might be a delay of game.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Illegal snap. Offense number 52. Five-yard penalty. No snaps.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Well, it came from the back. I thought it might
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: be a delay of game, but they got Jimmy List
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: in the transfer center from Purdue for an illegal snap.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe he was trying to fake it the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: first time, draw him offside. Back him up five yards.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: First down and 15. Now they shift their personnel around.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Eli Wood wearing number seven. Splits wide to the left-hand side.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Two receivers on the right-hand side. Now they motion to
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: back out of the backfield. Rosterhaus by himself. He'll run
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: it now. Rosterhaus looking, firing to the outside. Way wide.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: His intended target, that's the tailback, Javon Jacobs. Incomplete to go,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: second down and 15 coming up.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I love this. I love the penalty on first
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: down because, one, you already don't run the ball much,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and you go in first down and 15, second down
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: and 15. It's making it even more so. That's allowing
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the defense to pin their ears back. If I know
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Colton Swan from the first two games, he's going to
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: bring heat. This allows you to bring all kind of
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: exotic pressures here.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: So look for Utah bringing heat here.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Second down and 15. Two tight ends. Brosterhouse looking to
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: throw into the flat. It's caught by Wood. He picks
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: up four yards to the 24-yard line. Tackled immediately. You
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: get Rabbit Evans out there. You get Scooby Davis out there.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Everybody out there. Third down and long coming up.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the offense looks like they're trying to do some
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: funky form of RPO where they're on the move and
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: They have the option of pulling it down, running it,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: or throwing. So you've got to keep that, but it
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: seems to be of no avail. here for this defense.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Aggies 0-1 on third down. They face a third down
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: at 11. Brosterhouse to pass. Just a four-man rush. Going
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: to scramble to his right and try and throw it.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: It is incomplete. Broken up. Bobo Chenault had great coverage
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: here on the near sideline for Utah as he tried
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: to squeeze it into Jacobs again. That'll bring up fourth down.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Fourth down, man. Another quick, quick three and out. It
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: was less than a minute, I believe, that drive was,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: you know, with the incomplete passes and them literally being
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: no effects there.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: This is just a great job by the defense.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I like 14 points per quarter average, you know, but
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: if we can get 21 points in the quarter, that
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: is awesome. But giving the offense the ball back is
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: exactly what this defensive job MO is.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Rico to punt. Carvalho at his own 31-yard line. Second
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: punt of the day for Landon Rico. Rugby style. This
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: one's a knuckler way back. That's going to be actually
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Whittemore who catches it back at about the 18-yard line.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Creed works his way up the field to the 25.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: It gets knocked down right there. I wonder if Carvalho
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: may have gotten dinged on that swinging game play. That's
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: why Creed Whittemore was back there. 55-yard punt, 4-yard return.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Come back on the other side. Utah will have it
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: for a third time, 1st and 10 at their own
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: 25-yard line. It's 13-0 Utah with 4.45 to play here
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the 1st. And this is Utah football from ESPN 700
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: 13-0 Utah, 445 to play first quarter Utah football. First
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: half being brought to you by Slackwater Pizza. We're getting
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: awesome food, great vibes for the whole family all over
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the Utah Valley and Salt Lake Valley as well. Stop
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: in and see them today. Another spat stat for you, Sly.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: After two possessions, Utah's run 16 plays. They've got 142
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Utah State, after two possessions, has
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: run six plays, 10 yards, and two three and outs.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: 10 yards? I thought they were negative yards.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: That's interesting. The time of possession has been key, too,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: because when they've had the ball, they've thrown incomplete passes,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: which stops the clock. So they've got to be under
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: two minutes of time of possession thus far in this game.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: 4.45 to play here in the first quarter. Utah's got
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: it with a 75-yard field in front of them. They've
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: had no trouble moving it up and down the field
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: so far here on this Utah State defense. Devin Dampier
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: will split Braden Pagan, the former Aggie, out wide right
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: and Ricky Johnson out wide left. Bird Ficklin goes in
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the right slot in the backfield full. Now Bird comes
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: back in the backfield. Devon hands. Wayshawn Parker bouncing to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the outside. Wayshawn stays on his feet 35. Hesitation stepping
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: out of bounds. At about the 39-yard line, that's a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: 14-yard gain. Revin Hamblin made the push out of bounds,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: and it's a Utah first down brought to you by
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Ivory Homes.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: All these guys make it look so easy.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: You know, Wayshon Parker getting out in mid-space, even the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Hezzy step right there just looks so natural for all
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: these guys getting in the open field.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Empty backfield again. Now who's going to motion in to
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: play the quarterback position here on first and ten? It's
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: going to be Wayshon Parker. Three receivers to the left,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: one to the right-hand side, Wayshon. Going to keep it
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: himself again. Threw a hole at the 40 and finally
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: belted down. Asher Cunningham, the middle linebacker, cut him down
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: after a four-yard gain out to the 43.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Asher Cunningham does a great job here of getting
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: around his block and then just laying the wood right
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: there on way Sean Parker.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Four-yard gain, not bad on first down. Clock running at
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: 345 to play here in the first quarter, 13-0 Utah.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Devin Dampier back at quarterback. Devon, play action, throw to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the outside. Wide open for Aiden Pegg. It makes a
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: man miss to the inside. And down he goes to
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the Aggie 47-yard line. D'Angelo Mays, the corner, made the
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: tackle on the play, but that's another Ivory Holmes first down.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: They're playing such off coverage right now. That's an easy throw.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, one, it's doing a great job of pre-snap
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: reading by Devin Dampier. When you have an offense where
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: you have four different options to go off of, pre-snap
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: reads is paramount for you to do, and he's seeing
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: that Brandon Pagan is wide open on all of these things,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: so Brandon Pagan here is a big focal point early
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: in this game.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: First down, play action again. They fired inside. Ricky Johnson's
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: got it inside. The 40 stays on his feet, spins
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: out of a tackle, and they'll get him down close
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to the 36-yard line. That's going to be another Utah
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: first down, 11-yard gain. Kyle, or Kaya, I should say,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Stokes made the tackle for Utah State. Ivory Holmes, first down,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: gain of 11. Second catch today for Ricky Johnson.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great little stop route, turns it up, gets 11 yards.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Great work, great going through the progressions by Devin Dampierre.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Ricky Johnson, who may have the highest ceiling of all
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the Utah wide receivers. A couple of grabs today. First
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and 10 from the Aggie 36 for Devin in the offense.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Play action again. Devin backpedals. Lots of time throwing outside.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Pagans got it again inside the 25. Tiptoes up the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: sideline and steps out of bounds for another first down.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Cabango was the one who forced him out of bounds,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: but that's another nice gain. Another first down and a
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: gain of 11.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if Devin Dampier is looking for
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: him or Brandon Pagan is just open all the time.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: He's 7-11 today for sure.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Five catches, 55 yards already today. They get a five catches,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: 67 yards today for Brad and Braden Pagan. Here's the
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: handoff first down. Way Sean Parker bounces off one, gets
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: back to the line of scrimmage before he's gang tackled
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: by a host of Aggies. No gain on first down.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: They'll bring up second down and 10. Clock running at
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: about a minute 45 to play here in the first quarter.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good job by Utah State at causing penetration. Again,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: their unique 3-3-5 sets, they do that a lot, which
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: means they have to slash into their gaps, which is
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: extremely hard to block if you're an offensive lineman, which
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: is causing penetration issues for this offensive line in the
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: first three series.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray in the backfield on second down and 10
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: from the Aggie 24-yard line. Devin Dampier throws it in
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the flat to Bray. He's got running room up the field.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Goes Daniel inside the 20. And down to the 19-yard
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: line for a gain of five, almost six yards. Bring
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: up third down and short. They tracked him down. Chapman
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Lewis has been busy already, Sly, at that free safety spot.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing a good job.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: And honestly, he's the guy who has to make the plays.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: With the uniqueness of this offense and having to cover
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: so many different guys. It's going to come down to
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the last stop right there, and that is your safety.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: So your safety is going to have to make a
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: lot of open field tackles right here, which Chapman has
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: done a great job.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Utah three for three on third down. They bring Whittemore
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: in motion on third down and five. Dampier to pass.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Over the middle.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Complete.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: That's going to be short of first down yardage, though.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Only about a one-yard gain as he dumped it off
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to Ricky Johnson. Hamlin made the tackle along with Cabango.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: And now it's decision time for Morgan Scali. Fourth down
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: and about four here as he can bring the field
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: goal team out.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: He'll take the points here in the first quarter.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Man, you see that pass pick up by Wayshawn Parker
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: right there?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: He's really good.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: That blitz pick up.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that's going on my highlight tape first.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I'm physical. That's what that says right there. Great blitz
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: pickup right there by Wajon Parker.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis has only attempted one field goal so far
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: this year. Perfect on his PATs and field goals. This
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: one would be about 36 just inside the right hash mark.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Good snap, good hold. The kick is up, but the
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: kick is good. And with four seconds to play here
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter, Utah with another scoring drive. Three
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: for three on scoring drives today. Two touchdowns and a
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: field goal. They lead it now 17, making 16 to nothing.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: It's great. Take the points when you can. And that's
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: exactly what Utah does right there. Dylan Curtis has done
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: an amazing job, you know, coming from his freshman year
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: last year. Extremely confident, been extremely consistent. Coach Scali has
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: done a great job of mentioning our special teams unit.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: and getting some love, and you can see exactly why.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Dylan Curtis has done a good job.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Two for two now on the year. That field goal
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: brought to you by G2G. When you eat one, you'll know.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Nine plays, 57 yards. 36-yard field goal. They took 441
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: off the game clock. I know you like 14 a quarter.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Is 16 okay, Tim?
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, that'll do. Okay. That'll do. Okay. That's all right.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: That's all right.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Number 23 for Utah State is now wearing number 85.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: You know, I still want my extra point, you know.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I know. But, you know, we can make up for it. Yeah,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: they've got plenty of time. We've got Dave Spadafore. He's
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: rolling already with his stats here at the booth with
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: us today. My uncle, Patrick Riley, is spotting for the
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: departed Matt Robla. When I say departed, not here today.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: He's still with us. He's just in Phoenix. Pat's spotting
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: for us today. We've got Jack and David up top
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: here today. Of course, Alonzo here. Sarah and Zach downstairs
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: and James back at the studio. So we've got a
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: good house here today at Rice-Eckel Stadium. Glad you're with us.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: This is a short kick. It's returnable if Noah White
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: wants to, and he will from the goal line. White
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: to the 5, to the 10, to the 15, and
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: taken down. at about the 20, 21-yard line. So if
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: you would have let that go, they would have gotten
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the 25.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: That's the end on the first quarter.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: He and the Aggies will start first and 10 at
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the second quarter from the 21-yard line.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: We've played a quarter of football here in Salt Lake City.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: It's Utah 16.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Utah State, nothing. From the Big O Tires broadcast booth,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: this is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Big
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Back at Rice-Eccles Stadium, heading to the second quarter, Utah
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: 16 and Utah State nothing. Utah scored on all three
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: of their first quarter drives to lead at 16-0. First
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: quarter numbers brought to you by our friends at CR England.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Utah had 199 first quarter yards, Utah State 10.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: 116.5.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: The air, 83 on the ground for Utah, 7 through
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the air, 3 on the ground for Utah State. Utah
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: ran 24 plays, Utah State ran 6. Time of possession,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: you were mentioning this slide, 12.06 for Utah, 2.54 for
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Utah State. It's like Utah had 12 first downs in
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the first quarter. 12 first downs in the first quarter.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Utah State, none.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Great job on both sides as well. You're controlling the
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: ball with the time of possession. The defense does a
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: great job of getting three and outs, right? That's what
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: we talk about. Three and out, get off the field.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: You don't want to give them a first down. You
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: don't want to give them an extra opportunity to get
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: down the field. You want your defense to stay fresh.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Our defense has been on the field for six plays,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: you said? Six plays. Absolutely great job by this football
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: team today. I don't even know how you coach that.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: How do you tell?
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: We need to do better at what? We're not even
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: on the field. So great job by this defense. Great
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: job by this offense at controlling the clock and putting
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: points on the board.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Defense will come out on the field for the third
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: time today, brought to you by our friends at doTERRA.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Aggies have a 78-yard field in front of them. They
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: give them the 22-yard line on that kick return. They
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: have been Less than efficient offensively so far. They've got
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: two backs in the backfield this time. One of them,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Noah White, sophomore running back at a Ridgeline High School
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: here at the state of Utah. Utah has five near
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, six in the box. Rosterhouse in
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the flat. He's got it to Noah White. White's going
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: to try to get to the outside. He'll be cut down.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Scooby Davis was there to trip him up after a
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: gain of about three, maybe four yards out near the
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: 25-yard line. Second down coming up.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Great job of flowing by the defense right there, knocking
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: that out.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Exactly what you want to do, tackle the catch, right?
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: They may catch it, but as soon as they do,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: you've got to get right on top of them. Great
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: job of getting off blocks by the defense.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: White stays in the ballgame, second down and seven. Osterhaus
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: going to keep it himself. And he pushes forward near
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: about the 28, 29-yard line for a gain of Almost
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: four yards. That's really what his game is. Trey Reynolds
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: made the tackle. Brosterhouse, a really good runner. In fact,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: he's run for 116 yards this year, but not a
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: great passer so far. Third down and almost three coming.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Up.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Aggies are over on third down. You can split receivers.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Three to the right-hand side, one to the left-hand side.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Nobody's out here covering for Utah. Now Scooby Davis will
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: pick him up. Back in the backfield, Noah White. Brosterhaus
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: in the shotgun. Utah showing pressure. Here they come on Brosterhaus.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: He slings it outside. He's got a guy at about
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the 40-yard line. That's Eli Wood. He runs backwards and
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: then forward again. And out to the 39, that's going
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: to be a 10-yard gain and a first down. Pressure
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: didn't get home that time on Brosterhaus.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: It didn't. Brosterhaus does a great job of stepping up
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: into the pocket. The pressure created a void in the
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: middle that allowed Brosterhaus to step up. Him stepping up
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: provided a little bit more time. And in the zone,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: the guy came uncovered right there, and Brosterhaus was able
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: to find him.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Only took 16 and a half minutes for the Aggies
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: to get their first first down of the day.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Almost.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: 39-yard line of the Aggies, first in town, Utah State.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Rosterhouse rolls to his left, throws in the flat. He's
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: got Noah White wide open there. He's got the 45.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: He's got the 50 in the Utah territory. And finally
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: pushed out of bounds by Jackson Benning at the Utah
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: 45-yard line. He was all by himself in the flat.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a miscommunication. The defense is worried about
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: one little thing right there, and Noah White slips out
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: of the backfield. Covering Noah White in high school, this
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: guy is extremely slippery, extremely versatile in the offensive game,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: so they're going to look to make him a featured
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: back here for the USU offense.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: They actually give him all the way down to the
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: 42-yard line. Noah White, that's the first down, best territory
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: so far today for the Utah State offense. roster house
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: going to try and keep it himself straight ahead picks
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: up two yards to the 40 yard line he's a
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: big guy now he's six three two ten so he
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: can push that pile a little bit but utah did
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: a good job stacking him up right there at the
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage cash dylan was in there along with
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: of course trey reynolds who seems to always be around.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: The ball yes yes that number two looks great uh
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: around the football right there but Utah State's starting to
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: get a little bit of momentum. They got a little
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: bit of juice on their sideline from those couple plays
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: that they had on this drive.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Second down and eight. He stands by himself in the
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: shotgun to Sprosterhouse. Utah with four down linemen. Looks like
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: it might be a QB run here. We'll see. play action. Nope,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: he's going to bust it to the outside and not
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. Ethan Day wrapped him up. Jonu
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Hall was there to help him take him down. Great
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: job by Ethan Day staying home, reading the quarterback. No
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: gain third down.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: It was a great job by Jonah Hall. Firstly, Bronson
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: House tries to keep Jonah.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Hall in the middle.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: So Bronson House initially gets the snap, holds it in
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: the middle before trying to break outside and Jonah Hall
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: too fast gets outside and Bronson House has to come
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: back right back into the middle right into Ethan Day's lap.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Aggies one for three on third down. They converted their
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: last third down. They face a third down and eight
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: into Utah.
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: Forty.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Eight sub for Utah. Now they're set. Brosterhouse has White
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: in the backfield with him. Utah showing pressure. Here they come.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Brosterhouse rolling, throwing, completed the flap but well short of
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: the first down as Jackson Benny wraps up that wide
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: receiver and throws him out of bounds. Anthony Garcia with
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: his fourth catch of the year. It'll be fourth down.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great job by Jackson Binney. It's man coverage on
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: the outside, which they should have ran on the last
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: third down. So I think that's what Coach Swan understands.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: He's like, look, we ran zone. They came uncovered. You've
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: got Brostowski, who's.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: A running quarterback, so he's going to give himself more
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: time at doing that. And so we just need to
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: go man coverage to make sure we do that. They
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: do that, Jackson Binney, all over that slot receiver there.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised they're punting here down 16. from
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: the Utah 36, but they bring Rico out here. Maybe
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: they're going to try and get Utah to jump here,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: or maybe a fake. We'll see. Puck returner stands at
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: his own 10-yard line. Rico, third punt of the afternoon,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and now the flag's fly. It's going to be delay
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: of game.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Delay of game. Offense.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: Five-yard penalty.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: As purposeful, give themselves a little bit more room right there,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: but they're not trying to because Essentially, if they don't
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: get it on fourth down, now you're giving Utah a 60,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: 65-yard field.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you haven't stopped them yet today. They've marched
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: up and down the field on you.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: I get that, but you still got to play the game.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: He may not have that much belief in the offense
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: being able to do that.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: So they back him up five yards. Carvalho stands at
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: his own 10-yard line. Rico, plenty of time, kicks it
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: high and end over end. Mata's going to come up
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: and fake like he's going to catch it, and the
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Aggies are going to down it inside the one-yard line.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Excellent work by Eli Wood, the wide receiver, playing one
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: of the gunner spots. Got under it.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: The ball's down to one yard line. Timeout.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: And Utah's going to have a 99-yard field. 40-yard punt,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: no return. And when the offense comes out, it's brought
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: to you by Bud Light. Easy to drink and easy
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: to enjoy. Timeout on the field. Brought to us by
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: our friends at Bamboo H.R. Put your people in position
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: to win with Bamboo H.R. From Salt Lake City and
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Rice Eccles Stadium, 16-0 Utah with 10.23 to play here
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: in the first half. It's Utah football from ESPN 700
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Smiths
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: 16-0 Utah, 99-yard field here for the Utes from their
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: own one-yard line. Devin Dampier doesn't have very often, but
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: He's lined up in his own end zone. First down
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and 10. He's got Wayshon Parker next to him. Two
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: tights and two wides for Utah as Devin takes the snap.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Got offside coming up front on Utah State. Will Linebacker
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: to caddy.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Offside. Defensive contact.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: So that gives him a little bit of breathing room.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Zach Moss down on the sideline. Zach, what do you got?
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: He needed that breathing room. We talked about it in
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: the pregame.
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: This Utah State special teams did it this time by
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: putting him backed up in the end zone.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: So we got a chance to see exactly what his
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: offense can do backed up.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: So first and five now at the six-yard line for Utah.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Parker stays in the ballgame. Two tights and two wides again.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Devin play action pass. He's got a man down the field.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: He's looking out there. Ricky Johnson caught. And they dropped. Oh, Ricky. Oh, Ricky.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: That was in his hands.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: It was in his hands, and he dropped it at
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: about the 38-yard line. That would have been a big play. Instead, incomplete.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Mays had the coverage for Utah State. That was a
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: good throw by Devin.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: That was a good two-route right there. Ricky comes open
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: right there. It's one of those where you just get
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: too happy. It's like, I'm open.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: I'm this open.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: But he drops it right there. That was a great
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: pass by Devin Dempsey.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: So second down and five, Utah at their own six-yard line.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Two tights and two wides again. Parker the tailback. They're
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: going to give it to Wayshawn this time. He's got
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: running room to the outside.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Into the open field. There he goes. 50, 45, 40, 35, 30.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: They're not going.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: To get him. 94-yard touchdown.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: It was good while it lasted.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: What I said, I mean, Spat needs more yardage to
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: have Spat stats. But that's unfortunate because he looked like
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: he was gassed on that one. That was definitely conditioning
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: right here. Let's see this holding call here. Ah, yeah.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: That's the hold.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Ah, that's unfortunate. But Wayshon looks great in open field,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't he? That was a great call.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you. That was a lot of fun. Sadly,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: it doesn't count, but it is half the distance back
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: to about the three yard line. it'll be second down
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: and we'll call it about eight and a half yeah.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: That's speed in the open field right there and that's
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: way sean parker you know showing his other versatility you
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: know he's got the power he's got the shiftiness he
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: can catch out of the backfield but how is his
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: long speed and we've seen more and more that he gets.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Open in the open field he's going to get a
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: break right here daniel bray Catches the pass in the flat.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Daniel turns it up the field. He's got the 10.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: He knocked down right there. He'll be about a yard
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: shy of the first down as he picks up about
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: seven yards on that play. Tackle to play by that secondary,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Chapman Lewis. David Cabango there as well, third down and
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: one coming up.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chapman Lewis again. Again, in this type of defense,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: we've got to guard so many guys in this offense.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: That last line of defense, which is the safety, Chapman Lewis,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: is going to make a lot of tackles.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: He's going to have double-digit tackles today. Utah three out
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: of four on third down. They need a yard to
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: get a first down right here. Aggies crowd the line
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Wayshawn Parker back of the ball game after
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: getting a brief break. Bring a man in motion. Devin's
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: going to keep it himself. Picked his way forward. That's
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: first down yardage to the 15. It rolls down to
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: the 16-yard line. It's a six-yard game and an Ivory
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Holmes first down. Buckbecker, Harrison Taggart, former Cal Bear, made
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: the tackle. Former Corner Canyon Charger as well, wasn't he?
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: I'm in high school.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, Harrison Taggart, he's been around the block a
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: few times now.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Tempo now for Utah from their own 16-yard line with 8.55
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: to play here the first half. Devin drops the pass. Again,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: looking down the field. Wayshawn Parker!
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, he had it!
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: And then it bounced out of his hands as he
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: hit the ground. What a pass. Almost a heck of
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: a catch by Parker. Coverage on the play by Taggart,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: but man, oh man.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: He just needs a substitute right there.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: He is tired.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: This is definitely, he's a little tired right here. If
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: he wasn't as tired, I think he comes away with that.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: But still, great throw.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Another terrific throw by Devin Dam. Here, he put it
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: right in the bucket right there.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Only where Rayshawn Parker can get it. It almost made
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: an unbelievable catch.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: So Rayshawn can check out. He'll get a much-deserved breather.
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Bert Ficklin in the ballgame. Now split out wide as
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. Now they're going to bring him in the
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: backfield on second down and ten. Hand the ball, Daniel
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Bray makes his way forward to the 21-yard line where
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: he picks up about five yards.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: That's a great throw.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. Asher Cunningham, Harrison Taggart with the tackles.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Third down and five coming up.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Great push by the offensive line, creating that seam right
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: there for Daniel Bray. Daniel Bray, who's a smaller. Oh,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Harrison Taggart's down.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: Timeout for injury.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Taggart down on the field right now. That'll be an
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: injury timeout as he lays out his back there at
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: about the 21, where he helped make the tackle. Clock
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: stopped with 8.33 to play here in the first quarter.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: First half, I should say, 16-0 Utah. I hope Harrison
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Taggart's all right. He's very, very key to what Bronco
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Benidorm wants to do with his defense. We'll take the
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: timeout with him. Timeout brought to you by Bamboo HR.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: From Rice-Eckel Stadium and the Big O' Tires broadcast booth,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: it's Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports

  Speaker 5: Up to that.
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Today's game being brought to you by Pepsi, the official
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: soft drink of Utah athletics. Tough scene right now. The
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: medical staff and medical crew, they're bringing the card out
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: right now for Utah or Utah State. Buckbacker. Harrison Taggart,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff's gathered around him. Never a good sign
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: when the card comes out. We're not going to speculate
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: on anything here. We'll send best wishes to him and
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: his family. They're also bringing the ambulance out on the
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: field right now as well. Zach, I want to go
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: down to you first and foremost. That run by Wayshawn Parker,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: it doesn't count, obviously. It got called back because of
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the penalty, but You've been just so high on Wayshon
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: this year in everything that he's been doing. What did
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: you see in that run, and how about that straight-line speed?
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he showed that speed that, you know, we've seen
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: a few times last year, but you talk about a
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: different type of speed when you talk about a 94-yard touchdown.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: He's a difference-maker, man, in every way possible.
• 53:23
  Speaker 6: So, you know, he's showing that next-level scouting departments that
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: he can do everything, catching the ball, big, long touchdowns,
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: even though it didn't count. You can still show them
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: that on the film. It still counts when you want
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: it to count. But I'm sure you'll have another opportunity
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: here to make some more plays for us.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care if a flag was thrown. That's
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: going on my highlight tape. That's definitely what's happening right there. But, yeah,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: as you said, Bill, Wayshawn Parker showing off his open
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: field speed right there is elite. He's showing off every
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: facet of his game these first three weeks of the season.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Utah's got 217 total yards right now. They have 128
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: through the air and 89 on the ground. They would
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: have had 94 more on the ground had that one counted. Again,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: we've got a stoppage in play right here as the
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: ambulance has come out. The paramedics and the training staff
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: are there, and they're getting the backboard out right now
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: for Harrison Taggart, a young man who began his career
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: at BYU. And then he went to Cal, and now
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: he's back home in the state of Utah again, and
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: he's had a really nice run with Bronco Mendenhall, all
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: the Aggie players. on the sideline or down, taking a knee.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Same thing with the Utah players on the far sideline
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: as well, and this is just one of the tough
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: parts about football sometimes. You get these things. Send your
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: best wishes and prayers the way right now of Harrison
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Taggart as he and the paramedic staff are dealing with
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: him right now at about the 21-yard line.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a very serious moment. As a competitor,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: even your opponent, nobody wants to see this, and it's
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: It's sadly a part of the game of football, but
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: this is something that nobody wishes on anything. It was
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: kind of similar to when Gordon Hayward got hurt when
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: he was with the Utah Jazz. The Cleveland Cavaliers, everybody,
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: this was a very serious moment. Anybody that's played the
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: game understands how serious this is. And as you said, Bill,
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: best wishes to Harrison and his family. They've been here
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: in the Utah Valley forever. I covered him at Corner Canyon, man,
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: so seeing him down on the field like this is
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: not something you want to see.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Bronco Mendenhall out near the area where they're dealing right
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: now with Harrison Taggart at about the 21-yard line. All
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: the Aggie players have gathered together, and they're on a knee.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Same thing with the Utah players on the Utah sideline
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: as well. As they backboard and strap Harrison Taggart right
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: now to the backboard, the paramedics taking their time, being
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: very careful. And now together they'll lift him up and
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: get him on the gurney and then into the ambulance.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: And then up to University Hospital he'll go. But this
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: is a situation where you take your time. Everybody works
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: in unison right here. And you just do what you
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: need to do to get him stabilized as quick as possible.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Of course, big thanks to all the first responders, the trainers,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: and everybody who's helping out. This isn't just a USU issue.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: This is University of Utah is helping out as well.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: And all the hands on deck to assure Harrison Taggart
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: is in the best hands is awesome. And there's a
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: lot of people involved in making this happen.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: We'll take a timeout as there's a timeout on the
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: field as they work with Harrison Taggart to get him
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: stabilized and into the ambulance. You're listening to University of
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 56:44
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
• 56:48
  Speaker 8: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Well, some good news here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. They did
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: get Harrison Taggart backboarded and on the gurney, but he
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: raised his arm in the air and gave a big
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: thumbs up and pointed a finger in the air, so
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: we'll hope for the best as the ambulance takes him
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: up to University Hospital. Utah faces a third down and
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: five here. They're four out of five on third down
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: today from their own 21-yard line. Devin Dampier, going to
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: look at the play action, throw it out in the
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: flat to Braden Pegg, and he's got first down yardage
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: out of bounds at about the 30-yard line. Brayden Pagan
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: is having himself a day today. That's six catches already
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: for Brayden Pagan. And 78 yards.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: I just love Devin Dampier on this. His reads are
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: so awesome. There's so many options off of every single play.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: That was a quarterback keep right there, but they're bringing
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: pressure from the field. Brandon Pagan on the backside comes
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: wide open because of the cushion that the cornerbacks are having.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Parker back at the ball game. He should be well
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: rested now. Bird Picklin comes in motion. They hand away
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Sean Parker, and he picks up. Maybe a yard to
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the 31-yard line. They had that stacked up pretty good
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: on the left-hand side. A gaggle of Aggies up front
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: making the tackle on the play. Tyree Morris, nose tackle
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: in there, leading the charge. It'll be second down and nine.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: That was a good job by Tyree Morris. He got
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: off two different blocks to make that play. Simi as
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: well was blocking him. Good job by Utah State at
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: stacking them up at the line of scrimmage.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Picklin stays to the ballgame. This time it's wide receiver
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: split wide to the right-hand side with Braden Pagan. Second
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: down and nine, Utah for their own 31. 7-10 on
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: the clock running to play here in the first half.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: 16-0 Utah. Picklin, handoff.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Option play.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Devin is tackling behind the line of scrimmage. Wrapped up
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: and taken down. He should have pitched that ball.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: No, they had it covered. They had the pitch covered.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: They had it. The quarterback covered right there. Devin Dan
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Pierce is seeing if he was a horse collar or
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: a face mask. Got brought down awkwardly right there. But
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Utah State, again, their defense, they had this all covered.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: They have the pitch covered right there. So he can't
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: just pitch that and put Bird Finklin. Yeah, he's looking
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: for some kind of call.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Five of six on third down to the Utes. They
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: face a third down and ten here. Empty backfield for
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Devin Dampier. Pressure off the edge. Fires down the middle.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: That's caught. Whittemore open field.
• 59:12
  Speaker 9: Forty.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: And down to the Aggie. Thirty-five yard line. Creed Whittemore
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: was one step away from breaking it all the way.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Chapman Lewis with the tackle. That is a huge first
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: down for Utah. We'll call that 25, make it 36
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: yards to the Aggie 35. Pitch and catch. Dampier to Whittemore.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Another Utah weapon utilized in an Ivory Holmes first down. 5.57
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: to play. Clock running. Dampier clapping his hands. Wants the snap.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: And takes it. Empty backfield. Rolls to his right. Throws
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: down the field. I don't know where he was throwing
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: that ball. He had two receivers. Nobody was nearby.
• 59:55
  Speaker 7: I don't know if he was wanting Pagan or Whittemore,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: but he wasn't close to either one of them on
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 7: this play.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Whittemore was supposed to come back out on his route.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: That's what he was expecting, but he was getting heat.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: He just got rid of the ball.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: But on that throw, wow.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: That was an incredible throw by Devin Dampier, but that's
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: what we saw from that first game.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: He wasn't stepping into the throw.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: He steps in there and throws the needle right down
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: the middle.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Devon 13 of 19, 173 at a touchdown. Second down.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Play action pass again. Looking toward the end zone. Pagan
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: out there. His finger's incomplete at about the five-yard line.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: He had a step on the defensive back that time.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: It was David Cabango, the free safety. Just missed it.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Third down coming up.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing on this. Devin throws this before
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: he's open, right? Because Devin was getting so much heat,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: he understood that. And if Devin had a little bit
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: more time, he could put a little bit more touch
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: on it. That was just a little bit uncatchable right
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: there from Barron and Pagan to bring that in. But
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: it still gave him an opportunity at the end of
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: So third down and 10. Utah's converted now. Six of
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: seven on third down today. They empty the backfield. Four
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: wide receivers on the right-hand side of the formation here
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: for the University of Utah. Devin brings. Wayshawn Parker in motion,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: throws the tunnel screen to Wayshawn Parker. He's not going
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: to get out of a tackle, and he's going to
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: be trapped for a loss. A one-yard loss back to
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: the 36-yard line, and they'll bring up fourth down and
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: 11 for Utah. I think the field goal team's going
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: to come out here. You're going to get to see
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: the leg of Dylan Curtis.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: Great job by Utah State.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: They brought a cat blitz from the other side, so
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: Devin had to get that out quick. They understand the
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: four receivers on the other side, the likelihoods of a
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: tunnel screen right there are high, and they just rotated
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: to the ball extremely well.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: This will be a 54-yard attempt. He's got plenty of leg,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: and he's got a little bit of a breeze in
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: his back. This will be far and away the longest
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: of the year here for Dylan Curtis. Out of the
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: hold of Orion Phillips. We'll see if the Aggies come
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: after it. Good snap, good hold. The kick is away.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: It's high. It's end over end, and it is good.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: Curtis drills it with plenty to spare.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he could have made that.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: From 60 easy.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: 4.48 to play here in the first half. Utah 19
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: and Utah State nothing. That field goal brought to you
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: by G2G. When you eat one, you'll know. Going to
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: keep it right here. No timeout this time around. Now
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: 19-0 Utah. Two touchdown drives, two field goal drives for Utah.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as we said, this Utah State Aggies defense is tough.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: What we saw them do against Washington, you've got to
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: be very impressed with them. They buckled down. Yes, Utah
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: makes some moves, but at the end of the day,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Utah State number 23 is wearing 66th. Can you keep
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: them out of the end zone? And they do on
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: that play right there. Great job by the Utah State
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: defense at making them settle for a field goal. But
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Utah's got to be like, look, I got to get
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: into the end zone. At the end of the day,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: they're doing great. They're winning right now. But these are, again,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: the opportunities that we're talking about. We're getting possessions. Our
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: defense is getting three and outs. They're giving us the
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: ball back. We got to punch it in. We can't
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: exchange field goals here for touchdowns.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: That scoring drive, 13 plays, 63 yards, started at Utah's
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: one-yard line. Took 5.35 off the game clock. Dylan Curtis
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: now three for three this year, and that one's a 54-yarder.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Dylan kicks this one high in end-over-end. This one won't
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: be returnable. White will let it go. It's out for
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: a touchback. With 4.48 to play, Utah's defense will come
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: back out to the field. Brought to you by our
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: friends at doTERRA. and a 75-yard field here for the
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Utah State Aggies, who haven't done a whole lot offensively
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: so far here in the first half. 52 total yards.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's great.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: That's credit to Utah's defense. Utah defense is doing.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: A great job of scheming this offense and getting these
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: guys on three and outs. I think they got two
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: third down conversions, but other than that, that's all that
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Utah State's had to work with.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: First and 10, they go under center this time. Brosterhouse
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: brings a wide receiver in motion. Play action pass. Brosterhouse
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: take it down in the backfield. Cyrus Polu got him.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Linebacker off the edge. And it's a sack for the
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: Utah defense.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Great job by Cyrus Polu right here. But even better
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: job by Jackson Binney. They had a guy open on
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: the corner route. But Jackson Binney undercuts it. Brosserhouse sees it.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: Pulls the ball back down. And great job by Cyrus Polu.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: 10-yard loss back to the 15-yard line.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: Sack Lake City, baby.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Second down and 20 here for the Aggies. Clock running
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: at 4-10 to play.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Down 19-0.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Rosterhouse to pass again. He's going to step up and
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: try to run. He's got the 20 in 21-yard line,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: so he picks up six of the yards they lost
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: on first down. Trey Reynolds around that play again, as
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: he always is. Third down and long coming up.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, again, we're forcing these teams into long third downs.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: All they're going to have is a screen pass right
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: here to try to give themselves more room. They're not
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: going to try to get this first down. But this
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: defense has been buckled down and on their P's and
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Q's all day long.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: Third down and 15. Back to pass Brosterhaus. Plenty of time.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: He's going to try to run for it. Dumps it
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: over the middle. High to Eli Wood. He picked it up.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Out to the 36-yard line goes the wide receiver, Eli Wood.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Trey Reynolds was on his back, but that was a
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: great improvisation by the quarterback, Brosterhaus.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Again, improvisation is correct. By him stepping up into the pocket,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: using his legs to extend the play, he allows Eli
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Wood to come across the formation. And come open right there.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Great job. Great tackle in the open field.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: That's the one that's going to drive Scali and Swan crazy.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: You had them second down and 20. And you let
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: them get out for a first down. Brosterhouse to pass.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Run pass option. Has the back out of the backfield.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: That's David Jacobs. Picks up a few yards. Had to
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: about the 43, maybe 44 yard line. It's about eight
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: yards on first down.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's, again, in one of those RPO reads,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: the quarterback's kind of acting like he's going to run
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: and then throws the Starling out into the flat right
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: there and picks up a good chunk of yards.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Demick Starling was the wide receiver who made the grab.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Pistol formation on second down and two. Play action pass.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Lofted ball down the field. Looking and intercepted. That's going
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: to be pass interference though on Utah.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: And it didn't need to happen. That's the bad part
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: on Elijah Reed right there.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he put his hands on the wide receiver. That's
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Elijah Reed that's going to get called for it.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: It sucks because the receiver.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: Pass interference. Defense on the 11. 15-yard field. Automatic first half.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: The pass was not well thrown. The wide receiver really
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: didn't identify it, but Reed got his hand on his
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: back right there on the replay and shoved him just
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit. The pass was short.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: No, the pass was going to the corner. The receiver
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: was running a post route. The pass was going outside, and.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Elijah Reed is trying to redirect, so he pushes the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: receiver to redirect himself and gets the play right there. Unfortunate.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: It could have been a turnover.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: To the Utah 41, it goes first down and 10
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Utah State. Rosterhouse in the shotgun. Utah showing pressure. Noah White,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: and he's going to pick up a yard, stay on
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: his feet, get to the 40-yard line. And that should
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: be our final play before the two-minute timeout here in
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: the first half. Unless they go quick, they won't. John
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: O'Hall made the tackle for Utah. 205, 204, 203. I'm
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: going to get to the two-minute timeout. And there it is.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: Two-minute timeout.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: This time out brought to you by Bamboo HR. Recruit
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: top talent, develop your playmakers, unlock a peak performance, and
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: win with Bamboo HR. Time out on the field, two
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: minutes to play before halftime. It's Utah 19 and Utah
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: State nothing. This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: the Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 8: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Back at Rice-Eccles Stadium, two minutes to play before halftime.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: We'll be in Ames, Iowa next Saturday, 1.30 Mountain Time kickoff,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: same time as this one is. Iowa State's first-year head coach,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: 75 new players. No problem today. They hammered Bowling Green 55-7.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: So maybe the Cyclones will have a little something for
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: the Utes next week. We shall see. We'll be on
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: the air with a pregame show at 11.30. And then
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: from legendary Jack Trice Stadium, we'll have it for you
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: next Saturday. Utah and Iowa State. First and making second
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: down and ten here. Making nine for Utah State for
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: the Utah 40. The Utes can get a stop here.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: They've got all three timeouts. We'll see what they do.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Brosterhouse leads the offense back out on second down and nine.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Three receivers at a tight end of the pattern here.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: Back in the backfield.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: Utah shifting around up front here on second down and nine.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Utes showing pressure. Rosterhaus hands it to his tailback, Jacobs,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: who plows forward for about three to the 37. Does
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Utah take a timeout? morgan scali does not take a
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: time out he thinks about it he's going to see
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: what they do here on third down and six aggies
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: have not been good on third down today they're two
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: out of five for the utah 37. roster house at
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: the shotgun play action pass throwing the fade up the
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: sideline behind his wide receiver Eli Wood covered by Eli
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Reed it goes incomplete that'll be fourth down coming up
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: and they're going to leave the offense out there right
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: now with a minute 30 to play.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah uh well great coverage by uh Elijah Reed right
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: there gave the receiver no room he didn't look back
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: that's definitely pushed off by the offense but You know,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: they'll let that go.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: Tie goes to the offense in football.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: Are they going to.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Bring the field goal team or the punt team out?
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Bronco's still trying to decide right here. He's got his
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen out there.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: Well, if they take the late game here, they'll give
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: their punter more room. They're going to.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Get the ball coming out in the second half for
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: the Aggies. They're down 19-0. This is the second time
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: they've had the ball at about this place and chose
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: not to go for it. Instead, bring the punt team out. So,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Landon Rico's going to get another chance to punt right here.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Did they take it? I think they took the timeout.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, they didn't.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: So, Utah declines that penalty. Monte Carvalho will stand at
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: his own 10. Landon Rico will stand at his own
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: 47-yard line to punt here. With a minute 30 to play,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Utah's got all three timeouts. So, a wise decision by
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: Morgan Scali not to use one of those timeouts and
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: to decline that penalty. Fourth down and six. Snap back
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: to Rico. They're not coming after him. They're going to
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: back that away. It's a wobbly punt. It's going to
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: hit and go into the end zone. Great effort by Wood.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Eli Wood, the wide receiver who killed it at the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: one-yard line last time, almost got it there again instead
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: of touchback. And Utah will have a minute 22. And
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: first and 10 at their own 20-yard line. So we
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: know that the leg is there for Dylan Curtis. So
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: you've got to figure you've got to pick up probably
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: 35 yards to be in field goal range here for
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis. Maybe 35, maybe 40 yards. But with three timeouts, Sly,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: and the way Devin's thrown it today, maybe you can
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: get a touchdown.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: They've got opportunities. I think McGibbon has seen some things.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: They're going to try to roll him out to a
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: side and throw a post backside. There's some things open.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: They've got one-on-one coverage on the backside. Again, you're facing
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: a Bronco Mendenhall type of defense, which means they're going
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: to be aggressive. You're going to get man coverage here
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: in these situations. Can you take advantage of it?
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: Offense to the field brought to you by Bud Light.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. First and 10, Dampierre.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: He's got Daniel Bray in the backfield and four wide receivers.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Here's some pressure. Devon looking and surveying. Throws it over
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: the middle. Caught by Brayden Pagan. Make that create Whittemore.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: And Whittemore out of bounds after a short gain of
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: seven to the 27-yard line. Bronson all about forcing him
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: out of bounds. That took about six seconds, a minute
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: 16 to play.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to be very impressed with his Utah offense.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: This is when you know you have a good offense
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: of how they get up and down the field with
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: so little time. They practice situational football extremely often, and
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: this is one of those situations.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Twins left and right here for Utah. Bray in the
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: backfield on second down and three for the 27-yard line.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Devin a pass again, looking out to his left. Now
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: he's going to step away from it, look down the field,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: throw down the field, and incomplete. And Bracken covers that
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: time on Brayden Pagan. It goes incomplete, third down coming up.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, in the end of the day, if
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: he would have took off and ran with that, he
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: probably would have got tackled inbound, so he didn't want that. Yeah,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: they're forcing third down right here. Third down and short
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: so they can still open the playbook and accomplish a
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: lot of things.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Third down and three for Utah. They're six out of
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: eight on third down. Need that first down to keep
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: the drive alive right here. They throw it. They pump.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: They look. Devin scrambling. He's going to be sacked. And
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: the Utah State Aggies come up with their first stop
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: of the afternoon. James Jeanette with the tackle and the
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: sack on Devin Dampier.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: Time out, Utah State. First and a half, 30 seconds.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: And the Aggies are going to get the football back
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: here with one minute to play. They used their first
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: time out. Devin wanted to get rid of it quickly,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: couldn't do it.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: Please reset the game clock to one minute and two seconds.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: And Jeanette beat his man to the inside. Who did
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: he beat that time to the inside? I think it
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: was Ike Garcia he beat to the inside. Nope, Cedric Jefferson.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: And he comes up with a sack and a defensive
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: stop here for the Aggies.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: Well, that was a good creative blitz right there. And
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: one that made the first guy make Devin Dampier pull
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: the ball down and have to figure something out. And
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: he just lands right in. the defender's lap right there.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: So James Jeanette does a good job of blitzing. Seth
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Jefferson picked him up, did his job, but he doesn't
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: know where Devin Dampier is at. So Devin Dampier having
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: to pull the ball down ends up right to the
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: guy he's blocking his lap right there. So just a
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: failed drive for Utah on that right there.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see Orion Phillips for the first time today,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: the Utah punter. The Joe Dirt look-alike. He had a
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: great putt of 61 yards. It kicked sideways and out
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: of bounds inside the five-yard line last week.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: Utah University's number is exceptional.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: And back deep to receive this punt. Jaben Jacobs. Ryan
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: Phillips going to kick this one high and straight away.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: A little bit of a wobbler. Jacobs going to let
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: it hit. It takes it.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: Utah falls on it. It hits an Aggie at the
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: 39-yard line. And Utah is there to fall on it.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: And they'll have it.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: First and ten.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 7: The ball is touched by the receiver team.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: We cover them on the field. Kicking team, first down.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, that is just terrible luck if you're Utah
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: State in one heck of a break for Utah. Jacob
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: and Jacobs were saying get away from it, and it
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: hit one of his up men in the back, and
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: Utah was there to fall on it, first and ten.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have no idea what's going on, but good
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: job by Utah at understanding what's happening there. in what
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: happened in jumping on that football right there, giving us
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: some life here at the end of the first half.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: So with 54 seconds to play in the half, first
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: and 10 from the Aggie 39, Dan Pierce screen in
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: the flat. He has Wayshon Parker. Parker upended at about
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: the 37 after a short gain of about two yards.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: And Utah's going to use their first time out.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: Talking about Utah, 30 seconds, first of the half.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Marky Grant did a nice job of stringing that play out,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: corralling up right there on the play, Wayshon Parker.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a good job by Utah right here because
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: you're already in field goal range. You can take some
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: shots at the end zone if you really want to
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: and use your timeouts accordingly. But, yeah, man, for me,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: if I'm already in field goal range, I'm trying to
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: stretch this thing out and see exactly what we can
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: get downfield. If nothing's open or my pre-snap read is
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: not there, you know, I can run it with Devin
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: Dampier or throw to my check down.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: 49 seconds to play before halftime. Utah trying to add
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: some more points before the half. We'll hear from Morgan
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Scali and Zach Moss for the Ken Garf sideline update
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: just before halftime down on that sideline. Second down and eight, Utah,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: from the Aggie 37-yard line. Everything in play here with
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: two timeouts here for the Utes. We'll see how creative
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: Kevin McGiven gets here. Two receivers left, two receivers right,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: and Wayshawn Parker in the backfield. Dampier out of the shotgun,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: wants the snap, takes the snap, backpedals, looks, plenty of time,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: good pocket this time, now he's going to scramble, being pressured,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: throws down, field incomplete, tried to get that ball on
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: the sideline to Noah Benning, incomplete, the pocket was there
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: for a minute, then it collapsed and they had two
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: Aggies chasing him, led by Asher Cunningham, that'll bring up
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: third down and long.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Devin's got to understand, I got two timeouts here,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: I can throw in the middle of the field if
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: I want to here, so It's not something where I
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: have to look for something on the sideline. Again, they
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: were looking deep, which is good, but the Aggies got
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: that all covered. So if they got going in to
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: prevent defense, we can bring something underneath.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Three wide receivers left, one to the right-hand side, third
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: down and nine. Dampier, lots of time down the field,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: looking for Pagan, out.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: There, caught, touchdown!
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: Brayton Pagan, 37 yards and a Utah touchdown! He beat
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: the corner maze, he beat the safety hamlet, and it
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: was a dime from Devin Dampier. Second touchdown pass today
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: for Devin.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, that pass was on the inside.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: They had the safety over top and the corner underneath.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: And this was a situation where I don't think the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: ball could have been thrown outside. It would have gave
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: the safety the right angle. The ball being thrown inside
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: allowed Bacon to come back to it and score that
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: beautiful touchdown. So a dime is an understatement right there.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: Great throw by Devin Dampier.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: PAT up. PAT good by Dylan Curtis. It wasn't a
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: field goal. It was indeed a touchdown that pays off
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: the end of the half for Utah. All 37 yards
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: on that drive in the air, and the touchdown to
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Brayden Pagan. His second today against his old team, the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: Utah State Aggies. And Utah, just before half, 33 seconds
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: before the half, leads it here 26-0.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: Man, that's awesome.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: I think Zach Moss was in.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: The game planning room and knew.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: That Brandon Pagan was going to do that.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: Utah State is now worth.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: Zach, is that true? Were you in the game planning
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: room with Kevin McGibbon this week?
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 5: Something like that.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: Something like that. Oh, man, that's just terrific. And again,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: you're showing the versatility of this offense. You can throw
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: the screen game. You can run the football extremely well.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: You can throw the deep ball, right? This is something
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: you don't normally see from the Utah offense is the
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: deep ball threat that we have. And we talked about
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: how dangerous Brandon Pagan can be in the passing game
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: in that deep threat with that big 6'4 body. Absolutely awesome.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Pagan, seven catches, 113 yards and two touchdowns here in
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: the first half. Devin Dampier, 17 of 26, 218 yards
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: and two touchdowns.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, only two touchdowns? That's it? Oh, come on, man.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: A year ago, Pagan had three 100-yard games. He has
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: his first as a Ute here today. And Utah leads
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: at 26-0. That kick out the back of the end
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: zone will be a touchback. And the Aggies, that's just
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: some rough luck for the Aggies. They get their first
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: defensive stop of the afternoon, and then the punt comes,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: and the ball bounces and hits one of the Aggie
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: players who wasn't looking, and Utah falls right on it.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, and that's a good job by Utah, capitalizing
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: on opportunities, right? If they want to make a mistake
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: in the special teams game, make them pay for it.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: They are not going to feel that weight unless you
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: score a touchdown on them.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: Great job by Utah capitalizing on that opportunity.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: First and ten, Utah State with their own 25. They've
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: got two timeouts if they want to use the roster
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: house to pass. To the outside he goes. It's caught.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: Just short of first down yard.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: It's inbounds.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: He stays. Elijah Davis had the coverage on Javon Jacobs,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: the tailback. He's been doing a little bit of everything
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: here today. They don't use the timeout. Clock continues to run.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: 18, 17, 16 seconds.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Second down and two. Rosterhouse by himself with the gun
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: this time. Drops to pass again and flags fly. We've
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: got procedure it looks like here on Utah State. Not
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: everybody got set.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're running hurry up offense, you've got to
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: hurry up and get set. That just wasn't an urgency
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: issue there.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: This might be a 10-second runoff.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 7: Utah State is elected to use a timeout. Prior to
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 7: the snap, false start. Not all 11 players were set
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 7: for a second.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: Five-yard penalty, second down.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if Bronco doesn't use that timeout, it's the end
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: of the half.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: With 10 seconds left.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's what's.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: Kind of interesting is he didn't take the timeout when
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: the guy ended inbound. So I'm just like, what are
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: you trying to get out of this half? Are you
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: trying to let it roll out or are you trying
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: to run some extra plays here? So that is what
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't understand.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Second down and six. Back at the
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: 29-yard line. Ten seconds remain. Utah State's got one timeout left.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: Rosterhaus in the backfield, in the shotgun, takes the snap.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Gonna keep it himself, and he's not going anywhere. The
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: initial penetration by Lance Holzglas-Tutz, that kind of slowed him up.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: And then the tackle on the play by Cephaloman. And
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: that takes us to the end of the half here,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: with Utah leading it 26 to nothing. Zach Moss gonna
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: get a word with Morgan Scali here momentarily. On the
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: Kent Garf sideline update, with a dominant first half by
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: both the Utah offense and the Utah defense. Special teams
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't bad either. They lead at 26-0. Here comes Morgan Scali. Zach,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: take it away.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: Coach, Brady Hagan is having himself a day versus his
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 6: former team.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 5: What about him makes him so special as a player?
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 9: Well, there's not a lot of guys that when the
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 9: ball's thrown up in the air, you know with like
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 9: a 90% certainty that he's going to go get it.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: Unbelievable ball skills.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 9: That's a great job of setting up those routes and
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 9: depth getting it to them.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 6: What about the defenses? They held these guys scoreless in
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 6: the first half. What about the defenses? Are they flying around?
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 6: What are they doing so well that they couldn't get
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: anything going in that first half?
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 9: Well, we knew that the quarterback run game was going
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 9: to be quite a bit of what their plan was,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 9: as well as getting him out on the edge and
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 9: sprint out and boot and all that stuff.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: Doing a pretty good job of containing them.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 9: I'd like to see, you know, maybe a little bit
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 9: more success on third down, but zero points in one
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 9: half is solid. These guys are running around and efforts
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 9: making them a bunch of plays.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Coach. Thank you.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: Zach, Morgan, thank you. It's halftime here at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: We'll come back next with the America First Credit Union
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: halftime show. It's Utah 26. and Utah State 0. This
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: Radio Network.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 8: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: Halftime at Rice-Eccles Stadium. This is the American First Credit
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: Union halftime show. It's Utah 26. And the Utah State Aggies, nothing.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: Bill Riley and Stevenson Sylvester upstairs. We'll check in with
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: Zach downstairs in a minute. First half, some defense. Trey
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Reynolds busy today, seven tackles. Elijah Davis had three. Jackson
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: Benny had three. Cyrus Polo had a couple of tackles
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: and a big sack in the first half for Utah.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: They pitched the shutout. They haven't really given Utah many
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: opportunities to force turnovers, have they, Sly? You were talking
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: about turnovers and big plays, but Utah State's been so
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: conservative offensively, there really haven't been those opportunities, have there?
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: Well, one, the quick three and outs and the killers
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: of time of possession that we had in that first
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: half was... A big indicator of that, too. But when
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: Utah State has had the football, they've been extremely conservative, right?
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: They've thrown the pass quick to the flats, not giving
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: us an opportunity to make those havoc plays that we've
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: seen from the sacks to the forced fumbles to interceptions.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: The only time that they threw a ball that we
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: could actually have an opportunity to make a play on,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: we made the play, but we also made a pass interference.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: on that play as well. So they haven't given us
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: the opportunities that we've seen on film to make those
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: havoc plays here in this football game, which means it's
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: good things for this defense. They're handling their business. As
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: you said, Trey Reynolds is extremely active. These DBs are
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: doing a great job of covering these receivers. They've got
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: to keep that up here in the second half.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: Second half going to be brought to you today by
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: University of Utah Health. Get that same great care the
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: Utes trust. Visit uofuhealth.org slash Utes. One other Big 12
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: score for you this afternoon. Cincinnati will be in Cincinnati
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: at the end of October on Halloween. It was no
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: treat today for the Bearcats so far. It's a trick.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio, not Miami of Florida, Miami of Ohio 28,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati 7 right now. Not a final score, but a
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: score so far. in that game with the Bearcats. So
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: we'll keep tabs on that. We'll be in Iowa next week, Ames, Iowa,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: Jack Trice Stadium, to see the Cyclones. They took care
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: of a MAAC team today. They beat Bowling Green 55-7.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: That's Urban's old team. That ain't Urban football right there.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: No, it's not. Urban's team before he came to the
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: University of Utah in 2002 right there. But, yes, I mean,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: as I said, I hate preseason polls. I hate giving
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: any type of... analysis or credit or judgment on any
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: team kind of before week three a lot of things
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: sorts itself out after that third week of the season
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: which you're seeing today.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: Aggies are going to get the football to begin things
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: here in the second half they're down 26 nothing they're
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: just trying to find something offensively they had a grand
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: total of 85 yards in that first half and just
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: 11 yards on the ground. Their run game's been nonexistent.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: We'll see what they can try to do for halftime adjustments.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis will kick it off. He's been good on
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: the touchback so far today. All but one have gone
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: through the end zone for Utah, so we'll see if
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: he's able to put one through the end zone right
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: here and get another touchback. Check in with Zach Moss
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: momentarily as well. See what the message in the locker
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: room was from Morgan Scali to his guys. We'll do
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: that after the kickoff from Dylan Curtis. He'll kick from
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: north to south here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Great to be
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: with you. Get yourself buckled in and geared up for
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: second half action. Utah and Utah State from here at
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Rice-Eccles Stadium. Curtis ready to go. Noah White back deep.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: This one's high and end over end and it will
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: not be returnable. It goes out for a touchback.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: It hits an upright.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was nice.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: Almost went through. Let's go down to Zach Boss. Get
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: a sideline update. Find out what the message was at halftime. Zach?
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 6: Definitely, you know, just time to really pull ourselves away
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 6: in this game from this Utah State team.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 5: You know, they put us in a lot of third
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 5: down situations.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 6: Time to really make ourselves put our foot in the
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 6: ground and have some big separation here in the second half.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: Zach, thank you. Sideline update brought to you by the
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: good folks at Ken Garf. We hear you. First and ten,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: Aggies at their own 25-yard line, trailing 26-0. Rosterhaus, the quarterback.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: Noah White, the tailback. Rosterhaus going to keep it out
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: on the edge, throw the ball outside, nearly intercepted. Good
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: coverage by Scooby Davis. He tried to squeeze that ball
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: into Anthony Garcia. That was a very delayed run-pass option.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: He throws it incomplete.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there might have been an offensive lineman downfield on that.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: It wasn't called, but that was delayed, as you said.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: And he held the ball for a little bit. There
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: were some big guys trucking downfield there.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: Second down and ten Aggies. Two backs in the backfield
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: this time. One of them, Noel White, from their own
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: 25-yard line. Utah with four at the line of scrimmage.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Now they shift around up front. Rosterhouse to pass. Looking
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: out to his right. Nothing there. He's going to be
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: wrapped up and taken down behind the line of scrimmage.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Second sack of the afternoon for the University of Utah.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: Nate Ritchie was in on that play, as was Cash Dillon.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: Third down coming up.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great job by Nate Ritchie. Coming up, but that's
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: a coverage sack right there. There was nobody open. As
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: we said, they've been conservative with the way they've been
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: throwing the ball, so they're looking for the quick throws,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: and everybody was attached to their guy extremely.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: Well, and the blitz finally got to him. Aggies two
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: for six on third down. They face a third down
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: and 12 right here. Prosterhaus in the gun. Three receivers,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: and Utah showing pressure. Now they're going to change the
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: play with four of the play clock, three of the
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: play clock, two of the play clock. The play clock expires,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: and that's going to be delay of game. The Utah
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: defense forced them to change the play. And that's a
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: delay of game.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's got to be the quarterback.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: And third and 12 becomes third down and 17. And
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: third down and a lot more difficult here for Grady
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: Brosterhaus and the Aggies.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brosterhaus gots to be alert of that play clock
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: right there at all times. Breaking the huddle any time possible.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: The ref snaps. That's got to be a part of
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: your clock, and it wasn't there. Empty backfield.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Four receivers and a tight end in on the play
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: here for the Aggies. Third and 17, Prosterhaus to pass.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: Scrambling out to his right, being chased out to his right.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: Prosterhaus turning the corner, throwing incomplete. Tried to squeeze that
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: ball into Javon Robinson, the slot-wide receiver, but the coverage
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: was good. Rabbit Evans was there, and incomplete it goes.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Fourth down coming up.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: It's a good thing that was inaccurate, because if that
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: was accurate, Jackson Biddy gets another interception right there. Jackson
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: Bennett comes over the top and cuts this off. But
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: quarterback throws that on the back leg right there. Look,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Jackson Bennett has the opportunity. Oh, this defense is playing great.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: So fourth down and 17. Carvalho stands at his own
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: 43-yard line. Rico gets it out. Endover in. Rugby kick high.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: Mana is going to take it at the 45 and
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: break out a one tackle. Up the field he goes.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: Stays on his feet to the 47-yard line goes Carvalho.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: Had a minute, had a second, tried to get something free,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: picked up about two yards. 38-yard punt, three-yard return, they
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: say officially, and Utah's got good starting field position here.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: Second best starting field position to the afternoon for the
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: Utes at their own 47-yard line.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: Monica Vario is chomping at the bit, man.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: He wanted a big return right there.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: He wants something, but that was great hang time by
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: the punter right there, allowing his coverage to get downfield.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: Offense out to the field brought to you by Bud Light.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. Wayshawn Parker would
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: love to eat a little bit here, too. Get that
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: 94-yard touchdown run called back because of a hold. First
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: and 10, he's in the backfield right now with Devin Dampier.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: Hunter Andrews goes in motion for Utah. Hand off. Wayshawn
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: picks his way forward and picks up about three, maybe
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: four yards. He'll give him three to the Utah State
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: 49-yard line. Ducati makes the tackle for Utah State. Second
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: down and seven coming up.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was great. They went real heavy on
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: that right side, unbalanced, with an ineligible guy, and Hunter
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: Andrews came in motion. They weren't really guarding him, so
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: they're going to come back to that for him.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: Two tights and two winds on second down and seven
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: for Utah. They motion Braden Pagan out. Play action roll
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: to the right for Devin Dampier. He's got Pagan, and
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: he drops it. Oh, he was wide open and dropped it.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: at the Aggie 40-yard line. One of the few mistakes
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: Braden Pagan's made today. Incomplete it goes. Third down and
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: seven coming up.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: Well, one, that was a great route by Brandon. I
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: think he's just in his bag right now, and he
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: just felt himself a little too much and forgot to
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: do the first thing that you're supposed to do, which
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: is catch the ball right there. But that was a
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: great route by Brandon Pagan at getting the separation from
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: the defender.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: So third down and seven. Utah seven out of ten
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: on third down. They spread the field with three wide receivers.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: Now they motion Wayshon Parker out of the backfield. Devin
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: Dampier standing all by himself. Aggies showing four at the
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Devin drops to pass. Good pocket. Looking, scrambling.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: Trying to avoid the rush and does this time. Up
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: the field he goes. Inside, outside to the 45 and
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: down right there. He's short of first down yardage. He
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: should have kept running. He shouldn't have stopped. Asher Cunningham
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: made the stop. When he stopped, he came up short.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be fourth down and about three
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: here for Utah State or for Utah. And they're going
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: to keep the offense out there with the Utes. They
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: got a Utah State Aggie down on the play at
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: the 45-yard line.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: Timeout for injury.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: So there's an Aggie down. It might be Asher Cunningham
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: who made the tackle.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like he got his leg kind of
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: twisted up at the end of that play right there.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: 12.50 to play here in the third quarter. Fourth down
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: and three for Utah for the Aggie 45. And Utah
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: leading at 26-0. Second half being brought to you by Smith's,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: proud sponsor of University of Utah Athletics. Smith's fresh for everyone.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: And he's up. He'll walk it off just a little
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: bit here. That was indeed Asher Cunningham, the man to
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: make the tackle on the play. Transfer out of Elon College.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: You know where Elon College is?
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's one of the California colleges.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: It's in North Carolina. A little small college in North Carolina.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: In that same league as Wofford and Campbell and some
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: of the others.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: Well, Carolina got a gaggle of schools as well, both
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: of those states.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Fourth down and three for the Utes.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: Their first fourth down opportunity today. Devin Dampier is going
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: to be dropped. Look who it was. Chapman Lewis shooting
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: in from his free safety spot. Dropped Devin Dampier back
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: at the 50-yard line. And the Aggies will have great
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: starting field position when we get back. 12-29 to play
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: here in the third. Utah stopped on fourth down. The
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: Aggies will have it trailing 26-0. For the Big O'

• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: My spotter is a... Renowned engineer during the day and

  Speaker 1: a wrestler by night. So he's not with us. Matt

  Speaker 1: will be with us at Ames. Dave's pulling through the
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: record book right now. Got Alonzo up here. We've got
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: Jack and David sitting up here with us as well,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: observing things, kind of taking it all in. So we
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: thank you guys for tuning in. Utah State with a
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: nice defensive stand as at first intent at their own
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: 48-yard line. After stopping Devin Dampier in the Utah offense
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: on fourth. Now their second stop of the afternoon in
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: the Utah offense. Brady Rosterhaus brings back out the Aggies.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: He's going to keep it himself off the left side.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: He's got running room. He's got the 50. He's got
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: the Utah 45. And he's down right there after a
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: tackle by Trey Reynolds. A seven-yard gain by Rosterhaus on
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: first down.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a good open field tackle.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: I know it's seven yards downfield, but Trey Reynolds having to.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: to scour across the line of scrimmage and make that happen, great,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: because Brosterhaus has good speed.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: He is a running quarterback. Dual threat is his nature.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: But that was a good open field tackle right there
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: by the middle linebacker.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: So second down and three for the Utah 45-yard line
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: goes Brosterhaus. He's got three receivers on the right-hand side.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: He's going to roll his packet to the right-hand side,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: look down the field, throw down the field, and it's
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: intercepted by Scooby Davis. Is he inbounds or out-of-bounds? He's out-of-bounds.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: That was a terrible decision and pass by Brosterhaus.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: He'll throw it to you.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: And if he had a half yard more, Scooby Davis
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: would have had his first interception of the year.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: This is why he plays defense, right?
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: He doesn't understand tiptoeing the sideline. But great athletic move
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: to go get it. But that first foot is down
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: out of bounds right there by Scooby Davis. Yeah, again,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: a terrible throw right there by Brosterhaus. He'll give you
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: an opportunity. But Scooby's got to tiptoe that sideline like
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: a receiver.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Aggies two out of seven on third down. They go
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: to an I formation. Brosterhaus under center. Play action pass.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: Brosterhaus down the field. Batted in the line of scrimmage
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: and incomplete. Is that Paulu who got his hand up?
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: I think it was Cyrus who.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: Did it again.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: Cyrus Paulu who is very good. A young linebacker coming
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: into his own. Had a sack in the first half.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: Knocked that ball down. That'll bring up fourth down.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: Well, it was covered. The receiver that they were trying
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: to go to right there, Trey Reynolds, was all over it.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: So it was a great job by this Utah defense
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: right here, forcing the fourth down. Now it's got to
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: be defensive safe and make sure they don't try to
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: go for it.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: Rico back out to punt land, and Rico's been busy today.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: Monte Carvalho stands at his own 10-yard line. Rico's going
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: to kick this one straight away. High and end over end.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: Monty's going to let it hit. And it goes out
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: of bounds. Checks back. It goes out of bounds at
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: about the 6, maybe 7-yard line. Let's see where they
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: mark it.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: At the 6.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: Landed Rico really good. That's two today that he's landed
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: inside the 10-yard line. The former BYU punter and native
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: of the state of Washington. 11.37 to play here in
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: the third quarter. And Utah up 26-0. From the Big

• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: in the third. Utah with its second possession of the
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: first half. First and ten from their own six-yard line.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: This was the spot where Sean Parker went 94 yards
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: on last time, but he's not in the backfield this time.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray comes in motion across the formation. Little pop
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: pass to him. Stays on his feet. Loses a yard.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: Back to the five-yard line. Chris Joe, the middle linebacker,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: came up to make the tackle on the play. I'll
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: tell you what, Utah State looks a lot more dialed
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: in defensively here in the second half.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing is, with these plays like that, Daniel
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: Bray has elite speed, right? There's a guy... you have
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: to leave unblocked, and you're asking Daniel Bray, you have
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: to beat one guy. We're going to get everybody else.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: Again, if Daniel Bray gets.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: By that one linebacker... Touchdown.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: Nobody's catching him in the open field.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: Second down at 11, Utah back at their own five-yard
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: line in the shadow of the north end zone. A'shaun
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: Parker comes in motion. Empty backfield for Devin Dampier. Now
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: orbit motion as they bring Devin across the middle. He's
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: got a wide open Ricky Johnson. Doesn't drop it this time.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: Ricky finds first down yardage after the 17-18 yard line.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: That's a pickup of 13 yards. And a first down
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Ivory Holmes. D'Angelo Mays made the tackle.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: He was so wide open in the middle of the
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: field that time.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 4: That was all because of the motion.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: Empty backfield again. Devin Dampier, bubble screen outside. Braden Pagan's
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: got it. 20, stays on his feet. 25, and out
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: to the 26-yard line. Will they give him the mark? Nope.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: He'll be about a half yard shy of a nine-yard
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: gain for Braden Pagan. His eighth catch of the afternoon.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: He's up to 122 yards receiving.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: I love the up-tempo right here. Keeping pressure on this defense. Unbalanced.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: Second down and one. Handoff. Way Sean Parker. And he's
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: going to be dropped behind the line of scrimmage. He
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: had no running room that time. And Utah State did
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: a nice job coming up to stop him. Outside linebacker.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: McKeddie made the tackle. So third down and about three
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: coming up.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great job by the defense right there.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: They're doing a good job. Again, they are so aggressive.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: When you get an aggressive defense like this, that's when
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: your RPO gains. comes into play where Devin's going to
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: have to pull that ball and your other options are
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: going to come wide open on that. And that's where
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: the up-tempo-ness, they knew it was going to be running
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: second down and one. A lot of people knew that
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: was going to be running.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: Seven of 11 on third down at the Utes. Third
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: down and three right here at the 25. Bird Ficklin
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: comes in motion into the backfield. He comes. They're going
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: to run that. Nope, Devin's going to keep it himself.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: Devin up across the first down marker. He's right at
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: the 28. Is the ball out?
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 3: Moving on the field. It's a fumble recovery by the defense.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 3: First down, Utah State.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, goodness gracious. Devin Dampier lost the ball. He thinks
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: he might have been down on the play. He has
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: not left the field just yet. Will they review this
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: to see if he's down? Let's see. Ball is out.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: That's a fumble. And Utah State's going to have it
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: at the Utah 27-yard line. Olivao made the play and
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: then came up with the fumble recovery. And the Aggies
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: have great starting field position here. And that's a play
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: Devin Dampier just simply has to hold on to the football.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. Devin Dampier, the defense, what I
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: really loved is the defense all went by Devin Dampier.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: It's like, we got you. We'll get you the ball back.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: That wasn't bad ball security. That was just opportunistic by
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: Utah State at punching it out.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: First and 10 Aggies. We'll see if they can take
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: advantage here from their Utah 28. Rosterhaus fires over the middle.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 8: And incomplete.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: In and out of the hands of the wide receiver.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: Demick Starling that time, make that Javon Robinson incomplete, it goes,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: it was almost intercepted on the deflection.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that ball bounced in the air for a couple
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: guys to have right there. The defense is looking for it,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: you know, they want to get Devin Dampier the ball back, and.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 4: If Brosterhouse is going to throw it to you, you've got.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: To catch it. Second down and 10, Brosterhouse in the shotgun.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: Spreads the field with three wide receivers. Tailback at the backfield, Jacobs.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: Rosterhaus going to keep it himself across that right side,
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: and he is drilled at the 25-yard line after a
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: gain of three. He's a big kid, man, but that's
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: taking a big hit with the Utah defense. Cash Dillon
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: And Elijah Ellis there on the tape. They built it, Rosterhaus,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: right there. I absolutely love that.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 4: That was a good move, making a big third down
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 4: right here.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: This might be four down territory for the Aggies.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: Well, they don't want to be shut out either, so
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: they might take their opportunity here because they don't know
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: if they're going to be back.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: Two for eight on third down. Late subs coming in
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: here for Utah. Aggies 0 for 2 this half. Late
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: clock down to eight seconds. Seven seconds. Rosterhouse in the shotgun.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: Plank left and right by tailbacks. And a timeout taken.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 3: Timeout, Utah State.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if anybody in college football is better
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: at the late substitution game than Utah is. We'll have
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: a timeout on the field. We'll take it with them.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: Aggies will face third down and seven when we get
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: back to the Big O' Tires broadcast booth here in
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. It's Utah 26 and Utah State nothing.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute
• 1:43:10

• 1:43:15
  Speaker 8: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: 8.25 to play in the third here at Rice-Eccles. Aggies
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: facing a third down and six from the Utah 25
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: after the Devin Dampier fumble. Utah doesn't settle for average,
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: neither does KSL. Visit ksl.com or download their app for
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: better news, weather, and classifieds, all built right here in Utah.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: Go Utes. I kind of feel like it might be
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: four down territory if they pick something up here on
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: third down. If they don't, maybe we see a field goal.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: Third down and six, almost seven yards here for the Aggies.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: They've got to get to the Utah 18th. Rosterhausen, an
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: offset pistol formation. Jacobs, the tailback. Got a tight end
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: to the backfield as well right now. Reminowski, now he
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: moves to the right-hand side. Utah shifting around, Brooklyn. Now
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: they're going to run a reverse run to the opposite side.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: That's running room 20 to the 15 and knocked down
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: is Jacobs. That was a great call, that counter play.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: All the way back, nobody home. And a pickup of
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: 12 and a first down, Rabbit Evans made the tackle.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought Rabbit Evans would stay down in that pocket,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: but with that forward motion right there and they come
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: back with the counter, Rabbit tries to go over the top.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: And they just get that slight edge right there.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: Rosterhouse, full house backfield here. Two backs to the backfield
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: on first and ten for the Utah 16. They hand
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: the ball. It's an option pass to Garcia, the former quarterback.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: He'll choose to run it instead and get it down
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: to the nine-yard line for a gain of, we'll call
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: it about five. Anthony Garcia was a quarterback when he
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: came to Utah State. He was an Arizona transfer. He's
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: thrown four touchdowns in his career, but he's also caught two.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: And that one picks up five, maybe six yards.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good job by the defense right there at, you know,
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: keeping on your assignments, not allowing the receivers downfield to
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: come open for him to throw to.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: Second down and four from the eight. Rosterhouse to pass.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: He's going to run now. He's going to try to
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: get to the outside, throw it toward the end zone.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: Incomplete.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: He had Rabbit Evans in his face. He took a hit.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: That ball was short. And third down coming up.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, great job by Rabbit Evans right there.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: Good job by the defense at staying tight to receivers
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: right there. Rosterhouse thought he had something pre-snap, but as
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 2: the snap happened, they locked that down. Jackson Binney and
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: Bobo Chanel did a great job on this downside and
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: made sure he had no option there. Rabbit Evans finishes
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: it off.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: Aggies are three for nine on third down, but they've
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: converted on this drive. Third down and.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: Four for the Utah 8.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: Rosterhouse in the gun. Won't get the throw. Corner fade
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: route up and intercepted.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: Intercepted.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Rabbit Evans came up with.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 3: It.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: Evans was the backside defender and he went up and
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: just pulled it down with one hand. What a play.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: What a play is right. I feel like he could
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: have went up with two, but he's like, no, this
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: is hanging up in the ball, hanging up in the
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: air way too much.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: Well, the defense did exactly what they said they would do.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: They got it back after the Dampier turnover. Utah will
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: have it first and 10 at their own 20 when
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: we get back. Timeout on the field. 7.04 to play
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: in the third. Utah 26 and Utah State nothing. This
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: Radio Network.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 8: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: Utah defense forcing a turnover. Rabbit Evans, what did you
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: see on that play slide?
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it was just great. The ball was thrown up.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was pre-snap determined what he wanted to do.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: Of course, it was third down. But it was great
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: safety play right there. Rabbit Evans, understand that he's the
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: guy over the top. And if they do throw that
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: fade ball, he's got to be that guy over the top.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: And he was in position well before that ball was
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: even thrown. And there, he tried to time his jump.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: And he ended up having to stick one arm out.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: Eli Wood did a good job of challenging it. But
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 2: just the elite skill of these defenders are able to
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: make the one-handed interception right there by Rabbit Evans.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: First career interception at Utah for Rabbit Evans, who was
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: a former J.C. All-American at Blinn College back in 2023.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: Utah's got it back again. Let's see if the offense
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: can get going here. They've been a little sluggish here
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: in the second half.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like they're trying to try some things
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: out instead of just like, look, this works. Let's make
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: it happen. Let's do our uniqueness. Again, I applaud our
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: offense for trying to try things because you don't want
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: to try things when you get into conference play and
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: you don't have time.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: Sunshine out here and shining here in the second half.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: We'll see if the Utah offense can do the same here.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: 80-yard field in front of him. First down handoff. Wayshawn
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: Parker picking his way forward. Makes one man miss. Second
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: man miss. Ends up picking up three yards after about
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: the 23-yard line. Not easy running inside today for Utah.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: No, it's not, and that's what's kind of funky. But again,
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: it's the style of defense, right? It's not a traditional
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: style of defense. It makes things a lot funkier for
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: our offensive linemen to find out who they're blocking. Because
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: the guy you initially call out you're blocking may not
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: be the guy that you're blocking. So compliments to the
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: Utah State type of defense.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: Second down and seven Utahs. They shift personnel. Three receivers
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: wide to the left-hand side. Now they bring Daniel Bray
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: in motion. Pop pass to Bray. He's got the corner.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: Spins out of one tackle. Now another 30. In 31-yard line,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray picks up eight in an Ivory Holmes first down.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: That was a nice little scoot around the right side.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: Scoot. Watch him be so shifty right here at the
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: last second. Oh, my gosh. It was so quick.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: That was like a Kyrie.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 4: Irving type of move after the spin move.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: Whoop.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: Right there.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 4: Great job by Daniel Burke.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: Pendleton made the tackle for Utah State. Utah going with
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: tempo here on first down. Dan Peer over the middle.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: Caught by Hunter Andrews. Out across the 35 to the
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: 37 yard line. Chris Joe, the middle linebacker, made the tackle.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: First touch today for Andrews. And Utah picks up five
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: yards on first down. Make it six.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: Great job right there by Hunter Andrews.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 4: There's a couple guys.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: They had numbers on the pump pass that they had
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: outside if they wanted to throw it, but Hunter Andrews
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: was the guy he was looking for the entire time.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: Second down and four for the Utes. Clock running at
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: 535 to play here in the third. 26-0 Utah. Bird
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: thick wind of the ball game. Motions into the backfield.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: They hand the ball straight ahead. Daniel Bray. He's out
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: the gate. Daniel Bray.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: 35-40. 40-30.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 4: 25-20.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: 15 up the sideline. Back to the inside. That's a touchdown.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray. Out the gate. Up the sideline. And into
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: the end zone for a Utah touchdown.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 4: When we talk about elite speed, that is what we're talking.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: About right there. As we said, if you can get
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: him by that first and second level, sayonara defense. But
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: that was great acceleration. That was all determination by Daniel Bray. Wow.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 4: So explosive. Again, another weapon on this explosive offense.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: A 63-yard touchdown run for Daniel Bray. And the PAT
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: is good. That's a Pepsi touchdown. That's the longest play
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: of the year for Utah, 63 yards, and once Bray
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: gets into the open field, you are not catching Daniel Bray.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: That touchdown, a Pepsi touchdown. He stepped out of one
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: and two tackles, and then he did the rest with
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: his speed up that sideline back to the inside and
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: into the end zone for a touchdown. Four plays, 80 yards,
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: a minute 48 off the play clock, and Daniel Bray
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: and his touchdown make it 33-0 Utah. Zach Moss, it
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: was right in front of you. What did you see?
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 6: That was a big, big play by Bray.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 5: He's been itching for one.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 6: You can tell he's been ready to pop one loose,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 6: and he finally got one, and he made the most.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: Of his opportunity.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 5: No lead tackle this time.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: Well, you were calling for explosives in the pregame, Zach.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: That was an explosive. Utah did not get a 94-yard
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: touchdown early in the game, but they get a 63-yard
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: touchdown right there from Daniel Bray.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm so excited because.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: To me, in my opinion, in my assessment in the
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: first few weeks, that's the guy you needed to get going.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: I draw plays on my little whiteboard in my office,
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: and I got him as the focal point of either
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: being a decoy and drawing things off, opening things up
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: for other people, but he needed that.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 4: Daniel Bray needed that.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: He was coming from last year to the first two
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: games of the season. Daniel Bray needed that because his
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: few explosions on that drive right there alone, that could
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: propel him to having an immaculate season because it is
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: elite skill set.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: Three carries, 82 yards and a touchdown today for Daniel Bray.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: And Utah leads it 33-0, 5-16 to play here in
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: the third. That kickoff from... Dylan Curtis through the end
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: zone again for a touchback, and now the Aggies, who
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: haven't been able to do anything offensively so far here
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: today's slide, find themselves down 33-0 in another 75-yard field
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: in front of them.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're picking themselves a bigger and bigger hole here,
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: and now we've got a taste of a turnover. This
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: defense has a taste of a turnover, so let's see
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 2: if they can get it again. Again, we needed impact plays.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 4: I want my pick six today. That's got to happen today.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 4: Let's have it here happen in the second half.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: 5-16 to play here with the third, first and ten
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: Utah States. Rosterhaus pulls the ball, throws it long up
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: the field, looking incomplete. Jackson Benny with the coverage up
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: that far sideline. They hold that ball in the belly
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: for an awfully long time. Incomplete trying to find Javon
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: Jacobs out of the backfield that time.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the old Wake Forest kind of RPO hold
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 2: right there. Wake Forest used to do that. It was
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: very awkward.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, is nobody going to get this guy?
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 2: How long they're holding.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: It in there? So second down and 10 now. Utah
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: State with their own 25-5. 10 to play here with
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: the third. Utah leading at 33-0. Emotion Garcia across the
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: formation roster house is going to keep it himself straight
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: ahead pushing that pile using the 6-3 frame and picking
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: up about three yards out here about the 28 yard
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: line in third down and about seven coming up here
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: as the bell tolls here at Rice Eccles Stadium. Aggies
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: have not been good on third down today just three
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: out of ten. They bring the slot receiver, Javen Robinson,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: into the ballgame. They stack three receivers on the right-hand side,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: a single receiver to the left. On third down and seven,
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: Utah bringing pressure. Brosterhaus throwing in the flat.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 4: It's complete.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: First down, yardage beyond the 35. And out to the
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: 39-yard line as they went out and got it to
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: Nico Boncourt. A good job by Brosterhaus standing tall in
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: the pocket that time and delivering that pass.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a great job. Guy came wide open.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 2: But again, this is about Utah not... Getting set up
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: right at the line of scrimmage. They had trips a
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 2: bunch out there and they were mistaken by the personnel.
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: They didn't know if they needed to be corners over
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: or the safety needed to be there. But they didn't
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 2: hustle up and get lined up and that caused the
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: guy to get wide open.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: First and ten, Aggies, fourth, third down conversion today. Rosterhouse
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: to pass again on first down. Flips it into the flat,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: trying to squeeze it into Eli Wood. Awfully good coverage
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: by the other Eli, Eli Reed, incomplete it goes.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: This defense does a great job, but there's the little things.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: We talked about the communication pre-snap. Get set up extremely well.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: You don't want to be out of position at the
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: time of the snap, and that's the only time that
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: Utah State has seemed to get anything in this passing
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: game is when we're not set up before the snap.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: Three receivers again in the pattern, a tight end to
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: the right slot on second down and ten. Rosterhaus going
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: to change the play plenty of time on the play
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: clock this time for the Aggies. Utah crowds the line
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage right now. Rosterhaus to pass, looking out to
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: his right, has a man wide open at the 45-yard
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: line and out of bounds at the Utah 49-yard line.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: That's Watson, the wide receiver, the freshman out of Bishop
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: Gorman in Las Vegas. And a pickup of 14 in
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: the first down.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: That's an outstanding throw. You've got to give credit where
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 2: credit's due. That's a hash to the other outside line
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: marker right there. That is a far throw for the
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: quarterback on the line. Accurate. Picks up the first down.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: Well, he's got a big arm. It's just not real
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: accurate with Brosterhouse. From the Utah 49-yard line, first and
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: 10 for the Aggies. Trailing 33-0 here late in the third.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: End around to Jacobs, the tailback, 45-40. Jacobs wrapped up
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: and taken down by Nate Ritchie at the Utah 35-yard line.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: That was a heck of an open field tackle by
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: Ritchie on that big man, Javon Jacobs.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good job by Utah State at understanding what
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 2: is open. They're moving the ball a little effectively here
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 2: on this drive.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 4: Again, Utah's got to step up, not get.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 2: Happy with our 33-0 lead. You need a shutout. Every
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 2: defense wants a shutout. You're allowing them to drive down
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: the field and giving them an opportunity.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: To make that not happen. Clock running at 245 to play.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: First down. Play action pass again. Brosterhouse throws outside. He
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: had Rabbit Evans right in his face. He threw it
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: high and wide of Eli Wood. Wood was covered very
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: well by Reed.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: It goes incomplete.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: He's frankly very lucky that ball wasn't intercepted.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, or sacked.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: It was a great job by Ravid Evans right there
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 2: at coming. If he doesn't jump and just goes for
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 2: the quarterback, he may have had himself a sack.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: That's two today. He almost had sacks. Yeah, yeah. Second
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: down and ten for the Utah 35 for the Aggies.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: Four down lineman here for Utah. Stick Hall out on
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: the edge. Rosterhaus hands it to Jacobs. Nope, keeps it himself.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: He picks up a yard, maybe two. John Hall didn't
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: buy that. Either DePaul, Fitzgerald, the former Aggie. Third down
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: and long coming up.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: Big job by the defense right there. Not giving a
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: lot up right there. Forcing this long third down right here. Again,
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: it's maybe two down territory. Yeah, Aggies have been good here.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: Better in the second half. Two out of five on
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: third down. Four of 11 in the ballgame. Rosterhouse. play
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: action being chased and taken down from behind. And a
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: flag flies from deep. We may have a defensive hold.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to get Jackson Benny perhaps holding
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: on Javon Jacobs right here. We'll see.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 7: Personal foul. Hands to the face. Defense number 23.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 3: 15-yard penalty. Automatic first down.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: I had the right culprit. I just didn't have the
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: right penalty. Jackson put his hands to the face of
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: Javen Jacobs. That's going to be an automatic first down
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: here for the Aggies. And the drive will stay alive.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: This will be the best penetration of the day here
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: for Utah State. All the way to the Utah 16-yard line.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Jackson Biddy wasn't arguing that. He understands it
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: was zero coverage, so that makes things a lot harder
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 2: if you're a defender out on an island right there,
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 2: and he just put the hands right to the face.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: He was up on Nico Moncourt that time, so for
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: the first time in the red zone today. And now
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: we've got a timeout.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: Timeout.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 7: Utah State, second and a half, 32nd timeout.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: So a 32nd timeout taken here by the Aggies with
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: a minute 40 to play here in the third quarter.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: And Utah leading at 33-0. Our second half being brought
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: to you by University of Utah Health and Sports Medicine.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: Because you belong back in the game as much as anyone.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: Visit sportsmed.uofuhealth.org. So can the Aggies finally get themselves on
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: the board? We'll see.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: I sure hope not. The defense has played great. I
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: would hate for this drive to be their only drive
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: that they're giving some things up. But, you know, there's
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: still a lot of things.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 4: You just haven't played perfectly today.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: The defense has played great. The offense has given up
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: a little something. The opportunities that we've had in this game,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: it possibly should be an even higher scoring game than
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 2: it is right now. But I hope they don't get
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: points today. They need their shutout. This would be a
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 2: great game to get their shutout.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: Minute 40 to play before the end of the third quarter.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: First down and 10, Utah State at the Utah 16-yard line.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: Two tights and two wides. Tailback in the backfield for Brosterhouse.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: Play action, going to keep it himself straight ahead inside
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: the 15, down to about the 13-yard line goes Osterhaus.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: He's taking a lot of big hits here today. Carson Kapusi,
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: first time we've called Carson's name today. Made the tackle
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: of the play, second down and seven coming up.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good job by the defense. Again, you call it
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 2: coming into this game, and the QB run game is
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: going to be huge for Utah State, so they're going
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 2: to continue like that.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: From the Utah 13, they shift personnel around. Garcia, now
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: the quarterback in the backfield. He's going to keep it
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: himself straight ahead. Anthony Garcia wrapped up and take it
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: down after about a one-yard gain. Maybe two to about
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: the 11-yard line. Trey Reynolds on the tackle for Utah.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: That'll bring up third down. Great job with the keys.
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 2: Essentially what happened, they tried to shift that out to complete.
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 2: But if you understand Garcia, treat him as a quarterback,
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 2: it's just like they.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: Just swap players.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: That's all.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: It's not even personnel things.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 4: So they treated Garcia like he was a quarterback. QB
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 4: run game, which is what they practiced all week, they knocked.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 9: It right out.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: Third down and six.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 2: Aggies.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: Rosterhouse to pass. Pressure coming. Steps away. Gets to the ten.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: Gets to the five.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 5: Gets.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: Very close to first down yardage. They're going to mark
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: him down at the seven. I think he's about a
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: half yard shy. I think he needed the six yard line.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: It'll be fourth down and one. And I would guess
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: Bronco Mendenhall keeps the offense out there. He will. Fourth
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: down and about half a yard here for the Aggies.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: Looked like Utah had roster house dropped after maybe a
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: short game.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 2: And he picked up two or three more. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. That's what you get. That's the end
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 2: of the third quarter.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: So we won't get fourth and short until we get
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter. They'll change ends from north to south,
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: and we'll be back with fourth quarter action ahead. Utah

  Speaker 1: at Rice-Eccles Stadium on now a mostly sunny Saturday afternoon.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: It's Utah 33 and Utah State nothing. Bill Riley, Stevenson
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: Sylvester with you back here. For the Big O Tires broadcast,
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: move some of those third quarter numbers. Utah had 106
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: total yards. The Aggies had 78. Utah 71 on the ground.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: 63 of that came courtesy of Daniel Bray's touchdown, 35
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: through the air. Aggies had 42 on the ground, 36
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: through the air. Aggies actually ran 24 plays to just
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: Utah's 13. Of course, the big news was... Devin Dampier
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: had the turnover, but then Utah got it right back
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: with an interception of their own. So almost a stalemate,
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: but Utah scored seven in that third to lead 33-0.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it was a kind of quiet quarter,
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 2: if you want to say that. Still seven points for Utah.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 2: We still had Utah State blanked out in this football game,
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 2: which is exactly what you want.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I definitely.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 2: Think it felt like we took it off the gas,
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 2: but I think the Utah State just made some great
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 2: halftime adjustments. They came out You know, they had the
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: ball to start the quarter, and defense shut them out.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 2: But their defense, Utah State defense, which is what we
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: came in, is Utah State's strength. Their defense did a
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: good job in that third quarter against our offense.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: Utah defense comes out on fourth and short. Defense brought
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: to you by doTERRA. Fourth down and about half a
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: yard here for the Aggies. They've got to get to
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: the Utah 6. They're at the Utah 7 right now. Rosterhaus,
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: under center. They've got the beef in the backfield, two
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: tight ends, the tailback, Javon Jacobs. Well, they're almost close
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: enough here you could call it quarterback sneak. Maybe they
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: quick count him here, we'll see. Rosterhouse under center. Utah
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: crowds the line. Rosterhaus turns, gives it to Jacobs. He
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't get there. He doesn't get there. Lance Holtzclaw. Elijah
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: Ellis there to make the stop. And the Utah defense
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: stands up big on fourth down.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 2: Huge way to come off of the edge with ferocity.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: Elijah Ellis and Lance Holtzclaw getting inside. Of that tight end,
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 2: cutting off the initial penetration in Elijah Ellis, finishing it off.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 4: That is big boy football. That is how you have
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 4: to do it.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 2: That is team defense at stopping everybody up front. Lance
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 2: Holsquaw doing above and beyond.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 4: You've got to give a little more, right? Give a
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 4: little more.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what you get from Lance Holsquaw and
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 2: Elijah Ellis finishing off that play and not allowing them.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: To get on the board. So the Utah offense comes
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: out presented by Bud Light. Easy to drink and easy
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: to enjoy with a 93-yard field. Devin Dampier in the
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: Utah offense. He's got Wayshon Parker in the backfield with him.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: Spreads the field with three tight ends. The Aggies with
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: four at the line of scrimmage. Now they bring a
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: wide receiver across the formation. They hand it away to
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: Wayshon Parker, who's got the edge at the 10, at
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: the 12, and picks up about five, maybe six to
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: the 13-yard line on first down.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 2: Great job with blocking on that. It essentially looked like
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: Utah State had that all dialed up. It was going
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: to stop that for no gain or something. And then
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 2: Wayshawn Parker makes a great jump cut and gets three
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 2: yards on the three, four yards on the play.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: That's Ronnie Maggio, who's down on the play for Utah
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: State at about the 10-yard line, an injured Aggie. After
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: that five-yard gain by Wayshon Parker on first down, we'll
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: see if they give us a TV timeout for this
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: injury or if we're going to keep it right here.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: This fourth quarter being brought to you by University of
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: Utah Health. Get the same great care the Utes Trust.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: Visit uofuhealth.org slash Utes. We'll take a timeout with them
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: and be back with second down and five. Utah leading
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: at 33-0 with 1439 to play the ball game. This
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: is Utah football and this timeout brought to you by

• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: Second down and five for Utah out of the timeout.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: Maggio goes to the sidelines. He's okay. Utah in the
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: sunshine with just a few shadows beginning to creep across
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: the field here in the late afternoon on a Saturday
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: in mid-September. It's 33-0 Utah. Bill Riley and Stevenson Sylvester
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: with you back here at Rice Eccles Stadium. Wayshon Parker
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 1: looking for that first big run of the day today
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: after he had a 94-yard touchdown wiped out by a
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: holding penalty early. Dots the eye and the pistol formation
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: behind Bird Ficklin right now. Ficklin, the quarterback, turns and
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: gives it to Parker.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 5: Wayshon.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: Stacked up at the line of scrimmage, gets maybe a yard.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: That's about it. Third down coming up. Utah State's been
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: pretty stingy. Kai Stokes up for the corner spot to
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: make the tackle.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're doing a great job. With this style of defense,
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 2: you've got to have great tackling by your DBs. They're
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 2: very active and huge parts of who you are right there. One,
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: you've got a DB who's quicker than the old lineman,
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: so they get to the spot a little quicker than
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: the old lineman can block them. But make a great play.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: Devin Dampier out of the ballgame. Bird Ficklin in. Third
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 1: down and five here for Utah. On their own 13-yard line.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: Emotion Wayshon Parker out of the backfield. Ficklin going to
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: keep it himself and run it straight ahead. He's not
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: going to get there. He gets to the 15 and
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: that's it. It's an interesting play call on third down
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: and long.
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was there. I don't know what they saw
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 2: or what they thought was going to happen. But when
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 2: you take Devin Dampier out, you know, that leaves the
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 2: other passing threat, you know, off the field. So it
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 2: allows the defense to zero more in on your running quarterback,
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 2: which is Bird Finkman, right? So if I'm studying film,
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 2: I understand Bird Finkman is going to run the football first.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: And that's what they keyed in, and they got him.
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: The Utah State Aggies, who didn't get many stops in
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: the first half, have been a lot better here in
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: the second half. Orion Phillips going to punt it away
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: for Utah. Backs the return man up to his own
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 1: 30-yard line, and he's promptly tackled right there. Excellent punt
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: coverage by Utah. J.C. Hart made the tackle on the play.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 1: 56-yard punt, no return. And we've got a timeout on
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: the field with 13.06 to play here. Utah in charge,
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: 33-0 for the Big O' Tires broadcast booth. It's Utah
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 8: HR on ESPN 700 and the youth sports network.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: It appears devon dampier's day is done and it might
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: be bird ficklin's fourth quarter if that's the case devon
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: finished today another good solid outing 22 of 32 252
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns ran 10 times for 34 yards as
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: well and his team with a 33 nothing lead we've
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: got 1306 to play here in the ball game and
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: the aggies have it first and 10 at their own
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: 28-yard line. Although that last drive was a little basic,
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: if you will, for Utah.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 2: It kind of felt like we conceded at the end
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 2: of there, and it kind of made the change, the
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 2: QB change, mid-series, which is different, right? And so I
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 2: don't know what to make of that drive, but anyways,
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: we're still up 33-0. Lucas Samluss is.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 5: In the game now.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: Brosserhausen quarterback, first and ten, looks to pass for Utah State,
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: looking up that sideline and caught. What a grab. Eli Wood. Boy,
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: he had Scooby Davis draped all over him. Or actually,
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: it was Bobo Chenault draped all over him, and he
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: still came down with that ball. Excellent pitch and catch
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: that time. And a first down for the Aggies out
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: to the 46-yard line.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was great coverage right there by Bobo Chenault.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 2: Just a better catch.
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 1: Rosterhaus to pass again. Utah dialing up some pressure in
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: his face. Down the field he goes. It's caught again.
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 1: Off coverage that time. J.C. Hart let him get free.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 1: And that's a catch by Anthony Garcia. Short pickup on
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 1: the play, but a completion nonetheless for the Utah State Aggies.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're getting your second unit in here. So
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 2: they've got to get warmed up too, right? These guys
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 2: have kind of been on the sidelines. They've got to
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 2: get their defensive reps warmed up and start making some
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 2: plays here.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: Two-yard gain out to the 48-yard line. Second down and
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 1: eight for Brosterhouse, who will pass again. Tries to get
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: it out quickly. Pressure coming. Escapes one sack, but doesn't
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: escape the other.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 3: Sam Suleyman.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, Lucas Samsula. And a flag down on the plate, too.
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: This may be a hold against Utah State. We'll see.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: But Samsula came in and cleaned up the mess for
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: Utah and got a sack.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great job like this. I believe this penalty's on
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: Utah State. It'll be declined here.
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 4: Great, great job by the defense line there.
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: Personal foul on Utah State. We didn't hear the referees, Mike,
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: that time, but that's after the play. So the sack
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: goes to Sam Sula, and then tack 15 more yards on,
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: and this is going to be third down and forever here.
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 1: Third down and 32 for the Aggies. What do you
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: dial up on third down and 32?
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 4: Screen all day.
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: Tunnel screen is what you're going to get. They might
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 2: send a guy in motion and bring a comeback tunnel screen.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: To that tight end.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 2: Watch the tight end right here. But it's some sort
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 2: of screen here is all that Utah State should have.
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 1: Utah will rush four on third down and 32. Rosterhouse.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: Misdirection handoff on the inside, running back with plenty of room.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: That's Jacobs out to the 40 and stacked up right there.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: So he did pick up. He picked up about 16
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: of the 32, but still fourth down and long coming
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: up here for the Aggies, and the punt team will
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 1: come out.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a great misdirection draw right here. He
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 2: just ran out to that side right here, but he
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 2: just had some cavities that were open. It might be
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 2: a regular play instead of third down and long or
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 2: second down and long. He wouldn't want to run that on.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 2: On first down and long, the success that they had there.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: Ana Carvalho will jog out. Stand at about his own
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: 15-yard line. Landon Rico has had a good day punting
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 1: the football for Utah State. Back out again for the
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 1: Aggies on fourth down and 16. Kick is away. It's high.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: It's wobbling. Carvalho will come up and take it. It
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 1: will be dropped immediately at about the 20-yard line. He
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: wanted to return that one in the worst way. Two-yard
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 1: return for Carvalho. After a 42-yard punt, the Utes will
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: take over first and ten. Just inside their own 20-yard line,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: leading 33-0 here with about 10 minutes and 51 seconds
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: to play.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see exactly what this offense can do. They've
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 2: been kind of bleak, but you know what's great is
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 2: we have a great defense. QB depth right here. Bert
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 2: Finklin is just as good as any D1 starting quarterback,
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 2: so he can definitely get some juice going back to
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 2: this offense, which we haven't seen much of here in
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 2: the second half.
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: Steven Chavez-Soto going to be your tailback on this drive.
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: First time we've seen Steven this afternoon. And Bert Finklin,
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 1: your quarterback. Three receivers on the left-hand side for Utah
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 1: on first and ten from just inside their own 20-yard line.
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: Vickman motions a man. Monte Carvalho out. He rolls to
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 1: his left. The left-handed quarterback down the field has a
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: man wide open. That's Larry Simmons coming back to catch it.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 1: Simmons makes the grab at about the 37, almost 38-yard line.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 1: That's good for 17 yards and an Ivory Holmes first down.
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: Kai Stokes made the tackle.
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 2: I love Bert Finklin running out of the pocket. He
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 2: is extremely accurate on the run right there. Get the
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 2: ball to touchdown Larry.
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 1: First and ten Utah as they move and get a
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: little yardage on that play of 18 yards. Bicklin, look
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 1: at the pass, down the middle, caught again, back out
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: of the backfield. Chavez Soto dropped it. He would have
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: had running room for days.
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 3: Run on the field, it's a complete pass. Second down.
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 1: That run pass option that faked the run and then
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 1: throw the ball has been very effective, but Chavez Soto
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: couldn't hang on.
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got that F-seam route right there. You run
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 2: that fake where you think the quarterback's going to run,
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: and then you run that fullback who's supposed to be
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 2: the lead blocker on that right to the seam, but
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes you.
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 5: Forget about him.
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 1: Big hit on the play by the safety, too. Brevin Hamblin,
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: who's one of the leaders on this Utah State defense,
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: transfer from Utah Tech. Second down and 10. Utah from
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: their own 38-10-12 to play in the ballgame. Pick one
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 1: in the shotgun. Motions Carvalho across the formation. Turn and
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: a give. Chavez Soto across the 40 to about the
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: 41-yard line. Pick up a three. Pyle still moving. They'll
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: give him the 42, almost 43-yard line. So third down
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: and about five coming up. I like getting Burt Ficklin
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: out on the move and moving him around. He's so
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 1: good throwing on the move as well with that arm case.
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, normally you want to roll out to the strong side,
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 2: but we've seen how good he is even rolling out
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 2: to his offhand side, that right side right there. So
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 2: I agree, get him on the move. You're going to
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 2: see some great things happen.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: Utah hasn't converted a third down here in the second half.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 1: They're 0 for 3. They face a third down and
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: 5 as Soto comes in motion. Now he moves him
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: back out again. Ficklin looking to throw. Over the middle.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 1: Ball deflected at the line of scrimmage. Nearly intercepted. That's
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: going to bring up fourth down. Try to get that
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 1: ball squeezed into Daydrin Zimmerer. Instead, it's tipped at the
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 4: Goes incomplete.
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 2: And Utah.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 1: I have to bring out the punt team again.
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 2: Great job by Asher Cunningham right there. He's the middle linebacker.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 2: He doesn't blitz. He's just sitting right there as a
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 2: whole player. He sees and reads Bird Finkland's eyes the
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 2: entire time and jumps up and gets his hand on
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 2: the ball right there and makes it fourth down.
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: So, Orion Phillips on to punt it for Utah with 9.25
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: to play here in the fourth quarter. It's been a
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: little bit of a slog here in the second half.
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 1: I believe time for Orion. He's actually going to fake it.
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 1: Orion Phillips, 45.
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 2: Is he on his.
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, and he goes down short of the first down.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: He couldn't keep his footing.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, goodness.
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: He had the option to either run it or punt
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 1: it if the field opened up for him, but I
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 1: think he hesitated just a little bit, Sly, and the
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 1: Aggies were able to get him, and they'll get good
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 1: starting field position here on the botched fake punt at
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 1: the Utah 45.
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no Tom Hackett right there, but... He had
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 2: an opportunity right there. I think he caught the snap
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 2: a little deep.
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 4: And, yeah, the.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 2: Hesitation right there didn't allow him to get that first down.
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: But he was right there.
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a good call, good decision.
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 1: He had a window.
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 2: He's got to hit it. He's got to be a
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 2: little bit more confident when taking it and understanding what
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 2: he's got there.
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: So the Aggies will start first and ten here at
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 1: the Utah 45, trailing 33-0. Utah shifting around up front
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 1: here against Grady Brosterhaus. He's going to run fake, then
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: take a hit from behind if he's sacked. Did that
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 1: ball come out? It did not. He held on, but
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: Rabbit Evans got the sack, and boy, has he had
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 1: a game-today slot.
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 2: That's my guy right there.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: Poor sack today by Utah. Rabbit Evans, who was picked
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 1: by Stevenson Sylvester in the pregame as his impact player,
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 1: is living up to that.
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, you know, getting that interception, he's really
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 2: got juice going, just like Daniel Bray. When Daniel Bray
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 2: broke off for that first run, it really got him
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 2: juice to get in the end zone.
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: So second down now and about 15. Brosterhouse to pass.
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 1: He eludes the sack one time. Steps up, picks up
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 1: some yardage. Gets back near the original line of scrimmage. Oh,
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 1: Utah nearly had him again behind the line of scrimmage.
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 1: Couldn't bring him down. He picks up four. It'll be
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: third down and 11 coming up.
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 2: Great job defending right here. Making the third down and
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 2: long exactly where you want to be. Watch for quick
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 2: throws right here. Rosterhouse trying to get this slant route
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 2: or he's going to throw a go-route on the outside.
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 2: Something quick.
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 1: Third down and 12 here for the Aggies from the
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: Utah 46. Rosterhouse to pass. Pressure coming again. Chasing him outside.
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 1: Rosterhouse will be wrapped up and taken down. He threw
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 1: the ball away. Are they going to credit a sack
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: or will that be an incomplete pass? If it's a sack,
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: Elijah Ellis gets it. Cyrus Polo was right there as well.
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 1: Let's see what they decide to call it. It's going
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: to be a sack. They're going to mark it back
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 1: at the Utah State 45 yard line and elijah ellis
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 1: is going to get credit for his second sack of
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 1: the year right there with him guess who rabbit evans
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 1: rabbit evans cyrus pole who was in the area.
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 2: Too yeah man i i don't know that could be
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 2: intentional grounding too because he didn't get it back to
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage i know he was outside of
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 2: the pocket but it was just a fling but yeah
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 2: man that was a great defense right there by.
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: Utah Hunt is here. Rico hangs it high. Carvalho's going
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: to fear catch it. Oh, and he loses the football.
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 1: The ball is loose. Who's got it? I think Utah
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 1: fell on it. We may have catch interference right here.
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: There's a flag out. I think one of the players
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 1: from Utah State may have interfered with Carvalho as he
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 1: ran by him. But I think Utah was able to
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: recover the fumble anyway. It's at about the nine-yard line.
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 1: It should be Utah football. But goodness gracious, that was
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 1: a bit of an adventure right there. They unpile it.
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: It is Utah football, and I think we are going
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 1: to have some interference on this play by Utah State.
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 1: Let's see if they pick the flag up. Here's our referee.
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 7: Kick catching interference. Kicking team, 15-yard penalty, automatic first down.
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: So it is indeed kick-catch interference on Utah State, so
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 1: that will help Utah out. They'll move it from the
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 1: 9 out to about the 24-yard line, and that's where
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: the Utes will start first and 10.
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 3: Timeout on the field. We need a timeout.
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 2: I don't see it.
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 1: Gary reads our referee. He tells us we're going to
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 1: take a timeout, so we will. 7.48 to play in
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 1: the ballgame. A little bit of a slog here in
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: the second half, but Utah still in control. They lead
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 1: it 33 to nothing. And this is Utah football from
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 1: ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 8: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 8: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 1: Also brought to us by our friends at Smith's. Proud
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 1: sponsor of Utah Athletics, Smith's Fresh for Everyone, Bill Riley, Sly, Zach, Pat, Dave, Jack, David, Alonzo, Sarah, James.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 1: We're all here today. Great to be with you. I'll
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 1: tell you what, Sly. The offense has been a little
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 1: stagnant here in the second half. There's 7.48 to play.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 1: You've got Bert Fickman, second-team offense in. Be good to
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 1: end this thing with a little momentum. Feel pretty good
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: about going out because it's just been a little soft
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 1: here in the second half.
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 4: Well, the thing is, you're so deep, right?
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 2: You've got guys, right? When you're on your second unit
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 2: and you're throwing to guys like that. Monica Arvallo and
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 2: Larry Simmons. You're so deep on your rock. Creed Rudemore
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 2: is still out there. That's how deep you are in
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 2: this offensive line. So, yeah, this second team is definitely
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 2: going to have some pride and want to put some
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: points on the board.
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: Empty backfield here for Bert Ficklin on first and ten
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: from the Utah 24-yard line. High snap to Bert. He's
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: going to keep it himself. Bounced it to the outside.
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 1: Tripped up and taken down. Excellent open field tackle. That
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: was Asher Cunningham, the middle linebacker, who's had a really
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 1: good day today. I think that high snap threw everything
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: off right there, but Bird's dropped for a loss that time, too. Well, one,
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 1: we've said this a lot.
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 2: These linebackers are flowing extremely well, and if the whole
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 2: line is not going to block them, they're going to
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 2: make that open field play right there. Somebody should have
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 2: picked the middle linebacker up right here, and they don't.
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 2: He just comes free right there. If they do, Burr
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 2: Fink is up the sideline.
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 1: Second down and 12 o'clock running with 7.15 to play
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 1: the ball game. Utah 33-0. Only seven points so far
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: here in the second half. Chavez-Soto.
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 1: Akiaki-Helu the tailback right now for Bird-Fickman. He motions out
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 1: of the backfield on second down and 12. Then comes
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 1: back in again. Play clock expired. That's going to be
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 1: a delay of game unless they've got a timeout.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 3: Delay of game.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 2: Offense.
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 3: Five-yard penalty. Second down.
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The quarterback's coach is not very
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 1: happy right now. All the way out on the field
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 1: was quarterback's coach... Ryan Gunderson giving it to Bird Ficklin
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 1: right there for not snapping the football soon.
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you're not comfortable with it, don't
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 2: snap the football. I'd rather a five-yard penalty than a turnover.
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 1: Second down, 17. Back at the 16-yard line for Utah.
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 1: Ficklin in the shotgun. Motions the tight end, money out.
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 1: Now he rolls to his right side, looking down the field,
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: throwing down the field, flipping it, caught! Is that a catch?
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 8: It is!
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 1: Excellent grab on the sideline. Monica Arvalio made it. He
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 1: was knocked out of bounds by Chapman Lewis. That was
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: a heck of a throw as well, rolling to his
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 1: right by the left-hander, Bert Vicklin.
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great way. Good job by the receiver, Monica Arvalio.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 2: That tiptoe on the sideline. As the ball's coming in,
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 2: he's slowing up his steps to make sure he's still
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 2: in bounds and drags that foot. Makes the third down
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 2: and short.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: Utes 7-14 here in the ballgame. 0-4 in the second
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 1: half on third down. It's third down and two for Utah.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 1: Piquin surveys the defense. Now he takes the snap. Hand off.
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 1: That one's going to go to Halu. And he is
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 1: very close to first down yardage. They're going to give
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: it to him. He needed to. He picked up to.
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 1: And that's an Ivory Holmes first down for Matayaki Halu.
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 2: It was a great job by Halu at running hard.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 2: As soon as you get the snap right here, there's
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 2: no guessing. You see that initial hole. But they call
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 2: it 36-34. Whatever that hole was, he just understood that
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 2: that's what it's going to be. I'm not going to
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 2: try to make another hole out of it. So as
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 2: soon as he got the handoff, he does a great
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 2: job of accelerating and getting as much as he can,
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 2: which was a first down.
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 1: 5.25 of the clock running to play here in the ballgame.
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 1: Utah 33-0, first and 10 from their own 33-yard line.
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 1: They bring a tight end in motion across the formation.
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 1: Bicklin throws in the flat to that tight end. He's
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: immediately dunked. I mean, he is dropped by Kai Stokes.
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 1: That was Will Money that time who got dropped. Young
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 1: man transfer from Oklahoma State gets his first grab of
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 1: the year and immediately loses some yardage for Utah. Actually,
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: they'll give him right back to the line of scrimmage,
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 1: and that's it.
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the pressure made Bird give that ball a little
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 2: quicker than he wanted to. Tobias Merriweather was coming open
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 2: on that second level if he was able to get
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 2: to that progression.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: Second down and 10 for the Utes. Clock running at
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 1: 440 to play. Ficklin by himself in the shotgun. Tied
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 1: into the right slot. Brings it back in motion. That's Bell.
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 1: They hand it. Now Ficklin keeps it himself straight up
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 1: the middle. 45 or actually 40. And down to about
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 1: the 42-yard line goes Bert Ficklin. He'll pick up eight.
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 1: Two yards shy. James Jeanette, the middle linebacker. Sam linebacker,
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: I should say, made the tackle. And third down and
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 1: short coming up here for Utah.
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 2: Great vision by Burr Finklin, of course, by Burr Finklin.
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 4: Good job.
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 2: He could have handed it off to LaMarcus Bell, but
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 2: he decided with the puller coming, he had the numbers
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 2: on the inside. Great decision right there, making third down
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 2: and short again.
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 1: Utes have converted once on this drive on third down
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 1: and once in the second half. Third down and about
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 1: a yard and a half here for Utah. Finklin in
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 1: the backfield with two backs with him. Handoff straight ahead.
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 1: That's Bell, the freshman. He's got first down yardage. LaMarcus
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 1: Bell had a big game against Idaho. Seven carries, 87 yards.
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 1: Picks up the Ivory Homes first down right there. Keeps
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 1: the drive alive.
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great job by LaMarcus Bell hitting the hole. There's
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 2: a puller. The puller went further to the left, but
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 2: he understands it's third down short.
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 4: I've got to get this yard.
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 2: So he accelerates through the hole and picks up four.
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 2: Great job by LaMarcus Bell with that reach.
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 1: So the clock continues to run as we come up
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 1: on 3.20 to play here in the ballgame. First and
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 1: 10 Utah from their own 48-yard line. Vicklin remains in it.
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 1: Quarterback Devin Dampier's day is done. Chavez Soto the tailback
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 1: with him. Hand off. Chavez Soto bouncing to the outside
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: and picks up a yard, maybe two. Revin Hamblin, I'll
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 1: tell you what, this Aggie defense is continuing to play hard,
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 1: aren't they?
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what I'm thinking in my head. I'm like, geez,
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 2: these guys are doing well because, you know, we're getting
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 2: some good running plays and this and that. But the
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 2: way this defense is flowing, it didn't matter if our
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 2: first unit or whatever unit was in there. This good
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 2: defense by Utah State, this is something that Bronco Mendenhall
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 2: can coach off of. They play with extreme.
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: Effort, and they just don't quit. Second down and nine,
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 1: two and a half to play. Probably the final play
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 1: here before the two-minute timeout. Tobias Merriweather comes in motion
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: for the Utes. They hand it again. Chavez Soto pulled
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 1: down from behind as he crosses midfield into Aggie territory.
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 1: Picked up four. Asher Cunningham with another tackle. He's got
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 1: to be closing in on double-digit tackles, Asher Cunningham. That
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 1: play will take us to the two-minute timeout here at
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 1: Rice Eccles Stadium. It's all Utah. They lead it 33-0.
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 1: And this is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 1: Ute Sports Radio Network.
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 8: This is where the Utes live on game day and
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 8: every day. You're tuned to KALL North Salt Lake, ESPN
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 8: 700 and 92.1 FM. You're listening to Utah football brought
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 8: to you by Big O Tires on ESPN 700 and
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 8: the Ute Sports Network.
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 1: Two minutes remain here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah 33, Utah
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 1: State nothing. Utah led 26-0 at halftime. They've been less
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 1: effective here offensively in the second half. They've got the
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 1: twos and threes in right now. Bert Fickman running the
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 1: show for Utah. And they'll probably just snap it a
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 1: couple of times, hand it off a couple of more times.
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: We'll see if they try to pick up the third
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 1: down here and be able to kill the clock. It's
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 1: third down and about five from the Aggie 47 for Utah.
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 1: Daydrin Zipperer, Ana Carvalha, and Tobias Merriweather are your wide receivers.
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 1: Bird Ficklin in the backfield. He's got a couple of
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 1: backs there with him, including the big man, Semmy. And
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 1: Matiaki Halu. Aggies with six in the box. They hand
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 1: the ball off to Halu. Halu pushing forward, closing in
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: on first down yardage, and he gets it. He needed six,
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 1: and he picked up eight. Revin Hamplin, a free safety,
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: made the tackle. That's a first down brought to you
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: by Ivory Homes.
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 2: Now Utah.
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 1: To go into the favorite formation in all of collegiate football.
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 1: I believe that would be called the victory formation if
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 1: they want to. They will. They'll have to snap it
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 1: probably two more times. Vicklin will go under center. Five
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 1: on the play clock. Snap it at one, take the knee,
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 1: and Utah will do it one more time and walk
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 1: out of here with a fourth consecutive victory to open
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 1: the season. And a shutout of the Utah State Aggies.
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 1: Not too bad.
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 2: It's nice. I wonder what our last shutout was. But
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 2: great job by this football team. I know a little
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 2: sluggish second half, but you still saw a lot of
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 2: positives from all units in this football game.
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 1: One more snap from Bird Ficklin, and Utah will have
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 1: the victory they want and they need. He'll let that
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 1: play clock get down to about one second before he
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 1: snaps it. Game clock at 44, 43, 42, and 41.
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 1: Ficklin takes that knee, and that'll do it. They won't
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 1: have to snap it again. Morgan Scali will walk across
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: the field and shake the hand of an old nemesis
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: and friend, Bronco Mendenhall. And Utah secures its third straight
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 1: victory to open the season here today by a final
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 1: score of 33-0. And it's a great day to be
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 1: a Ute here in Salt Lake City as Utah improves
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 1: to 3-0 on the year with a 33-0 shutout at
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 1: the Utah State Aggies.
