- 0:00Speaker 1: Daniel Bray will go back to receive this kickoff tonight
- 0:04Speaker 1: from the University of Colorado. And we're underway at Folsom Field.
- 0:07Speaker 1: High and end over end. And Daniel Bray is going
- 0:09Speaker 1: to let that one go out of the end zone.
- 0:11Speaker 1: And Utah and Devin Dampier will start first and ten
- 0:14Speaker 1: at their own 25-yard line. Our first half being brought
- 0:16Speaker 1: to you by Bud Light. Easy to drink and easy
- 0:18Speaker 1: to enjoy. Devin Dampier didn't get a chance to play
- 0:21Speaker 1: against Colorado a year ago. It was the Bird-Ficklin Show.
- 0:24Speaker 1: So we'll see what Devin gets to do here tonight
- 0:26Speaker 1: against the Buffs.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really excited to see exactly how much they
- 0:30Speaker 2: can confuse this team and with all of our different looks.
- 0:33Speaker 2: We're starting with the big rhino package right out the gate,
- 0:36Speaker 2: establishing the run, just like Zach said.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Enforcing your will on your opponent very early in this game.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Four in the backfield right now. It's Devin Dampier, Wayshawn Parker,
- 0:46Speaker 1: Daniel Bray, and Big Semi Taolonga. Five of the line
- 0:49Speaker 1: of scrimmage for Colorado. First down handoff, Wayshawn Parker picks
- 0:52Speaker 1: his way forward and falls forward for a gain of
- 0:54Speaker 1: about two yards to the 27-yard line. They mucked it
- 0:57Speaker 1: up inside. Daniel Dillon-Manuel made the tackle for Colorado. Second
- 1:01Speaker 1: down and eight coming up here for the Buffs.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I really like that.
- 1:06Speaker 2: You're just getting talking like, again, that's going to be
- 1:08Speaker 2: an opportunity where Devin Dampier pulls that later in this game.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Two wide receivers to the right-hand side. One to the left.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Pistol formation here. Dampier with Wayshon Parker behind him. On
- 1:18Speaker 1: second down and eight. Play action pass for Devin. Lots
- 1:21Speaker 1: of time. Fires to the outside. Caught on the outside
- 1:24Speaker 1: by Braden Pagan. And he'll have first down yardage out
- 1:26Speaker 1: to the 37-yard line. A gain of 10 on the play,
- 1:29Speaker 1: and an Ivory Holmes first down.
- 1:31Speaker 3: R.J.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Johnson had the coverage. Good throw by Devin Dampier.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Yeah, that was good coverage, but it was just a
- 1:35Speaker 2: great route by Pagan, and then a great throw and catch.
- 1:39Speaker 1: So first down and 10, Devin Dampier. Now, Wayshon Parker.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Devin keeps it himself, straight up the middle to the 40,
- 1:47Speaker 1: to the 42, and near 43-yard line. They'll actually mark
- 1:50Speaker 1: him down at the 42 for a gain of 5
- 1:52Speaker 1: on first down. Nothing wrong with 5 yards on first down.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Gideon Lambert, the linebacker, And former Division I AA All-American
- 1:58Speaker 1: made the tackle for Colorado. Second down and five coming up.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Yeah, that was good.
- 2:03Speaker 2: As you said, if you could get four or five
- 2:05Speaker 2: yards on first down, that's making second down and short,
- 2:08Speaker 2: third down and short, giving you options to open the playbook.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Two receivers split wide to the left-hand side. One to
- 2:13Speaker 1: the right, tight end to the right slot. Wayshawn Parker
- 2:15Speaker 1: in the backfield. Second down and five. Utah from their
- 2:18Speaker 1: own 42 just underway here at Folsom. Straight ahead, Wayshawn Parker,
- 2:21Speaker 1: second level. Beyond the 50 and down to the Colorado
- 2:23Speaker 1: 48-yard line. It's a nice run by Wayshon Parker. Give
- 2:28Speaker 1: him 10 yards and an Ivory Holmes first down. Brandon
- 2:31Speaker 1: Fontenot made the tackle in the secondary, and Utah's on
- 2:33Speaker 1: the move.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Really love that. No playing around.
- 2:35Speaker 2: They just hit it right downhill, right out the gate.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Great acceleration by Wayshon Parker.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Bird Ficklin checks in the ballgame here for Utah. Checking
- 2:43Speaker 1: out of the ballgame, Creed Whittemore. Tight ends also in
- 2:46Speaker 1: for Utah here. We'll see the two-quarterback look with Wayshon
- 2:49Speaker 1: Parker on first and 10 from the Colorado 48-yard line.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Ficklin in the right slot. Wayshawn Parker lined up behind
- 2:57Speaker 1: the left guard. Now they shift back to either side
- 3:00Speaker 1: of Devin Dampier on first down and 10. Devin, play action.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Looking lots of time down the field. He's got a
- 3:07Speaker 1: man out there. Up and incomplete. It hit the defender
- 3:10Speaker 1: in the helmet. He was trying to get that ball
- 3:12Speaker 1: to Braden Pagan. Pagan had to step that ball just
- 3:15Speaker 1: a touch under thrown, and it goes incomplete.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a touch under thrown. If he throws
- 3:19Speaker 3: that one second earlier as well, I think that that's
- 3:22Speaker 3: a completed pass.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Maybe a touchdown.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Just under thrown, yeah. He was in the end zone.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Pagan does a great job of getting a step on
- 3:30Speaker 2: the defender almost every time.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Just got to get Devin Dampier to put a little
- 3:33Speaker 3: bit more mustard on it.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Defender never saw it, just hit him in the back
- 3:36Speaker 1: of the helmet. Four receivers group wide to the right-hand
- 3:39Speaker 1: side here on second down and 10. Daniel Bray in
- 3:42Speaker 1: the backfield. Now they'll shift the tight ends into the
- 3:44Speaker 1: right slot. From the Colorado 48, Buffs showing pressure. Hand
- 3:48Speaker 1: off to the outside. They've got a man to the 45,
- 3:51Speaker 1: and Hunter Andrews out of bounds at the Colorado 43-yard line.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It's going to be a pickup of about five yards
- 3:57Speaker 1: on the play. Hunter Andrews, a former running back, now
- 4:00Speaker 1: tight end, took the pitch and picked up five.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Yeah, as I said, I love Hunter Andrews getting in
- 4:05Speaker 2: the mix. He's another secret weapon that can have a
- 4:07Speaker 2: big game today.
- 4:08Speaker 1: So third down for the first time tonight for Utah.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Third down and we'll call it about six. They've got
- 4:13Speaker 1: to get to the Colorado 37-yard line for a first down.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Crowd gets loud here at Folsom Field. Buffs show a
- 4:21Speaker 1: little bit of pressure. Devin in the shotgun. A backpedal
- 4:26Speaker 1: to pass. Plenty of time. Looking, surveying. Over the middle.
- 4:28Speaker 1: He's got it. That's complete. The Braden Pagan beyond first
- 4:31Speaker 1: down yardage. Inside the 35. Down to the 32-yard line
- 4:33Speaker 1: for a gain of 11. And of an Ivory Holmes
- 4:36Speaker 1: first down, Leona Lufau, the linebacker, made the tackle. But
- 4:40Speaker 1: all kinds of time for Devin Dampier.
- 4:42Speaker 3: It's just an awesome route structure right there.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Pagan was going to come all the way across, saw
- 4:46Speaker 2: that they were in zone, so he just sat down
- 4:48Speaker 2: right in the middle and picked.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Up those extra yards.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Empty backfield for Devin Dampier. Five wide receivers this time.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Devin looks and looks and looks. Nothing there. Still scrambling
- 4:57Speaker 1: down the field. He's got a man and caught inside
- 5:00Speaker 1: the 25. Now broken up.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Incomplete.
- 5:03Speaker 1: He nearly had that ball complete to Larry Simmons, and
- 5:06Speaker 1: it was broken up by Randon Fontenette on a good
- 5:08Speaker 1: defensive play. That'll bring up second down.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Good hands by the defense, sticking their hands in there
- 5:13Speaker 2: and knocking that out at the last second.
- 5:15Speaker 3: That would have been another big play, big gain on
- 5:18Speaker 3: first down.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Again, lots of time for Devin to throw and down
- 5:21Speaker 1: the field. Randon Fontenette made a good break on that
- 5:23Speaker 1: ball late. Second down and 10 now. Wayshawn Parker in
- 5:26Speaker 1: the ball game for the Colorado 32-yard line. Buffs again
- 5:29Speaker 1: crowd the line of scrimmage with six up front. Devon
- 5:32Speaker 1: to pass, rolls to his right, lots of time, looking
- 5:34Speaker 1: down the field, throwing down the field, caught down the field,
- 5:36Speaker 1: inside the 20, Pagan to the 15, inside the 15,
- 5:39Speaker 1: and out of bounds at the Colorado 12-yard line. That's
- 5:43Speaker 1: a gain of 20 to Creed Whittemore, not Braden Pagan
- 5:46Speaker 1: that time. Whittemore picks up 20, and that's a first
- 5:49Speaker 1: down inside the Canyon View Credit Union red zone. Now
- 5:52Speaker 1: Utah's going to go with tempo. From the 12-yard line,
- 5:56Speaker 1: Dampier out of the shotgun. Surveys the field, looks, runs
- 6:02Speaker 1: the option, keeps it himself straight ahead and pushes the
- 6:04Speaker 1: pile down to about the seven yard line for a
- 6:06Speaker 1: gain of five. Tackle on the play by the inside linebacker, Lampron.
- 6:10Speaker 1: That'll bring up second down and five.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Yeah, great job.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Again, you're instilling your will against this team right here.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Running the ball with effectiveness. Devin Dampiers willing and dealing
- 6:20Speaker 2: and making some really good decisions in the pass game.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Second down and five. Playbook wide open here for Utah.
- 6:26Speaker 1: They've had no real resistance here. On this drive, how
- 6:29Speaker 1: long did the Rhino back in the right slot? Two
- 6:32Speaker 1: receivers right, two backs in the backfield. Daniel Bray and
- 6:36Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker with Devin Dampier. Devin takes the snap. Delayed handoff. Parker,
- 6:46Speaker 1: he is stacked up behind the line of scrimmage. He'll
- 6:48Speaker 1: lose a yard. Back to the eight-yard line. That'll bring
- 6:51Speaker 1: up third down at about five.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Great defense by Colorado right there. Great discipline and nice.
- 6:57Speaker 2: They had all the triple option there covered from even
- 7:00Speaker 2: if Devin pulled that and pitched that to Bray, they
- 7:02Speaker 2: had that covered.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Good job by the defense.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Utah one for one on third down on this drive.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Five minutes gone by here on the opening drive. They're
- 7:10Speaker 1: at the Colorado eight yard line. Got to get to
- 7:13Speaker 1: the two yard line for a first down. Parker in
- 7:18Speaker 1: the ballgame. Three wide receivers. Devin a pass. Looking, serving.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Devin Dampier scrambling now. Looking down the field. Still looking
- 7:25Speaker 1: down the field. Throwing toward the corner. In the end zone.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Touchdown.
- 7:31Speaker 1: That's Hunter Andrews. And Devin Dampier buying all sorts of time.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Finds Andrews at the one. And he steps into the
- 7:41Speaker 1: end zone past the pylon for a Utah touchdown.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Terrific one.
- 7:47Speaker 2: We've got to tip your cap to this team for
- 7:50Speaker 2: giving all of the time in the world to Devin Dampier.
- 7:53Speaker 2: He had multiple guys open. He had Braden Pagan in
- 7:56Speaker 2: the back of the end zone wide open. There's multiple
- 7:58Speaker 2: guys that could have gotten that ball there.
- 8:00Speaker 1: The old swinging gate here. What are they going to do?
- 8:02Speaker 1: They're going to try and kick it now. The play
- 8:03Speaker 1: clock ticking down to about 15. Dylan Curtis out there
- 8:07Speaker 1: to attempt the extra point. Second touchdown of the year.
- 8:10Speaker 1: A Pepsi touchdown for Hunter Andrews.
- 8:13Speaker 4: This play is under further review.
- 8:16Speaker 1: We're seeing the replay. Hunter Andrews is lined up in
- 8:19Speaker 1: the left slot. He just runs a little drag route
- 8:21Speaker 1: across the formation here. It's both feet down. No, that's
- 8:24Speaker 1: a touchdown.
- 8:27Speaker 3: I don't know. I can't tell you what they're looking at.
- 8:32Speaker 4: After further review, there were 12 players on the defense
- 8:35Speaker 4: at the snap. That penalty is declined. The result of
- 8:38Speaker 4: the play is a touchdown. The touchdown is upheld.
- 8:42Speaker 1: That's very strange. Very strange.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Well, it's strange that there was so much time to
- 8:48Speaker 2: have that decision.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Well, regardless, the touchdown stands. The PAT will be coming.
- 8:55Speaker 1: And Hunter Andrews has his second touchdown of the year.
- 8:57Speaker 1: And Utah, once again this year, has opened the game
- 9:01Speaker 1: with a touchdown scoring drive. Killing Curtis nearly perfect on
- 9:04Speaker 1: PATs this year. Now 25 out of 26. That PAT
- 9:07Speaker 1: is up and good. And Utah... Leads at 7-0 here
- 9:11Speaker 1: with a timeout on the field. An impressive opening drive
- 9:13Speaker 1: for the Utes. We'll see the defense when we get
- 9:15Speaker 1: back for the Big O Tires broadcast booth here at
- 9:17Speaker 1: Folsom Field at Utah 7. Colorado nothing. This is Utah
- 9:20Speaker 1: football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 9:24Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
- 9:27Speaker 5: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Back at Folsom Field in Boulder, Utah continues their hot
- 9:36Speaker 1: offensive streak. They have scored a touchdown on every opening
- 9:39Speaker 1: drive this year. That's now six straight games with an
- 9:42Speaker 1: opening drive touchdown. Down to the sidelines and Zach Mossack.
- 9:45Speaker 1: You said it might be a Devin Dampier kind of
- 9:47Speaker 1: a game. Good opening drive for Devin.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks spectacular, man.
- 9:51Speaker 6: Getting the ball out on the edges, making plays in
- 9:53Speaker 6: the run game.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Wayshawn getting downfield. They showed everything in that opening drive.
- 9:58Speaker 6: Came away with seven points, so really good.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Opening drive for the guys.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Sideline update brought to you by Ken Garf. We hear you.
- 10:04Speaker 1: So 7-0 Utah. First half being brought to you by Minky.
- 10:07Speaker 1: It's a Minky kind of a night here in Boulder.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Minky blankets will come in handy. 61 degrees right now.
- 10:12Speaker 1: We'll be in the low 50s by the time this
- 10:14Speaker 1: one ends. Buy them at their six retail locations. Or
- 10:17Speaker 1: buy them online. Dylan Curtis has it teed up and
- 10:19Speaker 1: ready to go. Back deep to receive it. Quentin Gibson
- 10:22Speaker 1: for Colorado. Gibson's got one return this year for the Buffs.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Curtis puts his right foot into it. It's high and
- 10:30Speaker 1: it's end over end. That's returnable, but he calls for
- 10:32Speaker 1: a fair catch to Gibson. And takes it at the
- 10:35Speaker 1: six-yard line. So Colorado will begin first and ten at
- 10:38Speaker 1: their own 25-yard line. And old friend Isaac Wilson comes
- 10:41Speaker 1: to the field. Former University of Utah quarterback. In fact,
- 10:44Speaker 1: Isaac started for the Utes. against Colorado right here at
- 10:49Speaker 1: Folsom Field two years ago. So he'll get the start
- 10:52Speaker 1: here tonight. He brings his team out, first and ten.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Jaquil Smith, the tailback with him on first and ten.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Utah crowds the line of scrimmage. Buffs bring a man
- 11:00Speaker 1: in motion to hand that ball off to Smith. He
- 11:02Speaker 1: gets hit at the line of scrimmage, bounces off a tackler,
- 11:05Speaker 1: and he's wrapped up by Trey Reynolds at about the
- 11:07Speaker 1: 27-yard line, and for two yards, second down and eight
- 11:09Speaker 1: coming up.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Yeah, great job of killing the instant penetration right there,
- 11:12Speaker 2: but you just got to bring him down in the backfield.
- 11:14Speaker 2: You don't want him to gap. Second chances at the
- 11:16Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. But it's a great job of killing
- 11:18Speaker 2: the point of attack.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Four receivers split wide to the right-hand side for Isaac Wilson.
- 11:23Speaker 1: One to the left. That's his tailback, Smith. They'll bring
- 11:26Speaker 1: him back in the backfield here and then motion him
- 11:28Speaker 1: back out again on second down and eight. Isaac's going
- 11:30Speaker 1: to throw. He gets that ball out. Complete beyond the 30.
- 11:33Speaker 1: About the 32-yard line as they get that ball to Moore,
- 11:36Speaker 1: the wide receiver, DeAndre Moore. That's a short game. We've
- 11:40Speaker 1: got an injured buff. Maybe two injured buffs.
- 11:42Speaker 3: In that backfield.
- 11:43Speaker 1: One of the offensive linemen. Big man number 75, and
- 11:48Speaker 1: now he's down. Javen Richardson is getting the start here tonight.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Injured behind the play with third down and three coming up,
- 11:55Speaker 1: and now they'll bring the training staff out to take
- 11:57Speaker 1: a look at him. Both teams will go to the
- 11:59Speaker 1: sideline here. We'll remind you our first half brought to
- 12:01Speaker 1: you by doTERRA, proud sponsor of Utah football. They welcome
- 12:05Speaker 1: the defense to the field. It'll be third down and
- 12:07Speaker 1: three after this injury timeout for Colorado. And they're signaling
- 12:11Speaker 1: to the sideline that they might want some sort of
- 12:14Speaker 1: a cart or a stretcher here for the big man.
- 12:16Speaker 1: I didn't see what happened. Did you?
- 12:18Speaker 3: No, I didn't.
- 12:19Speaker 2: But he's in great pain right there. Something with his
- 12:22Speaker 2: lower leg. Yeah, they're checking out his right leg right there.
- 12:26Speaker 2: But he's in pain to where Deion runs out there.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Yeah, when the head coach comes sprinting out on the field,
- 12:33Speaker 1: it's never a good side. Richardson wasn't even really part
- 12:36Speaker 1: of the two deep, but he's getting the start here
- 12:38Speaker 1: tonight for Colorado. Richardson being helped to the sideline and
- 12:42Speaker 1: going to go straight to the locker room right here
- 12:44Speaker 1: with third down and three coming up here for the
- 12:46Speaker 1: Colorado Buffaloes.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Yeah, he's hobbling pretty good right there. Yeah, I did
- 12:50Speaker 2: not see what happened, but whatever it is, it's significant.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Now they're playing with more and more depth on their
- 12:56Speaker 2: offensive line.
- 12:57Speaker 3: So that's why I say the defense game plan needs
- 12:59Speaker 3: to be blitzing, right?
- 13:00Speaker 2: We need to blitz almost 70 to 80 percent of
- 13:04Speaker 2: the time in this game and cause Isaac Wilson's A
- 13:08Speaker 2: lot of distress.
- 13:09Speaker 3: In the backfield.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson leads his team back out on the field
- 13:12Speaker 1: after Richardson's help to the locker room. Third down and
- 13:15Speaker 1: three coming up here for the Buffs. See if the
- 13:19Speaker 1: Utah defense can get him off the field here on
- 13:20Speaker 1: the opening drive for Colorado here at the ballgame. Clock
- 13:24Speaker 1: running at 8.55 to play here in the first quarter,
- 13:26Speaker 1: 7-0 Utah. Isaac with two backs to the backfield on
- 13:32Speaker 1: third down and three. They delay a handoff. Smith bouncing
- 13:35Speaker 1: to the outside, and he will be stopped short. He
- 13:39Speaker 1: bounced one too many times, and he stopped at the
- 13:41Speaker 1: 34-yard line. Great work by Jackson Benny to come up
- 13:44Speaker 1: from his nickel spot to stop him. It'll be fourth
- 13:46Speaker 1: down and about a yard and a half to go
- 13:48Speaker 1: here for Colorado. If he just puts his foot in
- 13:50Speaker 1: the ground, he's got a first down.
- 13:51Speaker 2: I felt like he had it, but he just wanted
- 13:53Speaker 2: to keep bouncing, and that's when you've got to understand
- 13:55Speaker 2: where you're at in sticks and what the play calling is.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Now they're going to go for it on fourth down here,
- 13:59Speaker 3: which is smart by them.
- 14:01Speaker 1: From their own 34, they need about a yard here.
- 14:03Speaker 3: They got nothing to lose.
- 14:05Speaker 1: 2-3, they're 0-2 in Big 12 play, trying to create
- 14:08Speaker 1: some positive momentum. They quickly break the huddle. They're going
- 14:11Speaker 1: to try the push-push here with Isaac Wilson. Isaac Wilson
- 14:14Speaker 1: calls his own number, and he'll have first down yardage
- 14:17Speaker 1: just across the 35, but there's a flag that comes
- 14:20Speaker 1: in here. And I think we're going to have an
- 14:21Speaker 1: illegal shift on Colorado.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Guys were moving when he snapped the ball. So that's
- 14:25Speaker 2: going to be five-yard penalty. So they'll end up punting
- 14:27Speaker 2: the ball. And now hopefully we can get a big
- 14:29Speaker 2: play here on special teams.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Here's our referee. He'll give it to us. But I
- 14:32Speaker 1: think this is an illegal shift on the Buffs.
- 14:35Speaker 4: Illegal shift. Two players moving at the same time at
- 14:38Speaker 4: the snap on the offense. Five-yard penalty. Replay fourth down.
- 14:43Speaker 1: These are the things that drive coaches crazy. And Deion
- 14:46Speaker 1: Sanders can't be happy with this. The punt team will
- 14:49Speaker 1: come out now. As Monte Carvalho will step out to
- 14:51Speaker 1: about his own 25-yard line. Damon Graves, the punter, the
- 14:55Speaker 1: Aussie punter for Colorado, will come out and attempt to
- 14:59Speaker 1: punt from just inside his own 15-yard line. Fourth and
- 15:02Speaker 1: a half a yard, which was converted, now becomes fourth
- 15:04Speaker 1: down and six. Carvalho at his own 26-yard line. Snap
- 15:17Speaker 1: back to Graves. Straightaway kick this time. High and end
- 15:20Speaker 1: over end. Carvalho back deep. Will take it at his
- 15:23Speaker 1: own 16-yard line. Mata up the field. 25, 26, 27,
- 15:28Speaker 1: 28-yard line. Almost to 29. Let's see where they end
- 15:31Speaker 1: up marketing. 29-yard line. That's a good return for Carvalho.
- 15:35Speaker 1: And Utah will have decent starting position when we get
- 15:37Speaker 1: back here to Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. 7.34 to
- 15:40Speaker 1: play in the first quarter. 7-0 Utah, our first half
- 15:43Speaker 1: being brought to you by Slackwater Pizza. Awesome food, great
- 15:46Speaker 1: vibes for the whole family. It's Slackwater Pizza. From the
- 15:49Speaker 1: Big O' Tires broadcast booth, I'm Bill Riley, and this
- 15:52Speaker 1: is Utah Football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports
- 15:55Speaker 1: Radio Network.
- 15:57Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Smith's
- 16:00Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Back at Folsom Field, our broadcast tonight being brought to
- 16:06Speaker 1: you by Pepsi and Smith's, two great partners of Utah Football.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Pick up all your Pepsi products all year long. At Smiths,
- 16:13Speaker 1: 7-0 Utah, 7.34 to play here in the first half.
- 16:15Speaker 1: I don't think Morgan Scali could have scripted the first
- 16:17Speaker 1: two drives offensively and defensively any better, could he?
- 16:20Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, it's exactly playing into our hands exactly
- 16:23Speaker 2: what you want. You want quick three and outs on defense,
- 16:26Speaker 2: but on offense you want to go down the field
- 16:28Speaker 2: as quickly as possible to start a game, right? Really
- 16:32Speaker 2: instill your will on this opponent, and that's how you.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Do it here. On this drive, you've got to continue
- 16:37Speaker 3: to apply pressure to your opponent.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Kevin Dampier leads the offense out. Daniel Gray trots out
- 16:43Speaker 1: with him. Hunter Andrews, Kyrie Scholes, Braden Pagan, and more
- 16:47Speaker 1: here on first and ten. Noah Benny out there as well.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Utah will start from their own 29-yard line. 71-yard field
- 16:53Speaker 1: right here in front of Utah on their second drive
- 16:55Speaker 1: of the ball game, moving south to north here at
- 16:57Speaker 1: Folsom Field. As we wait on our friends from TV,
- 17:05Speaker 1: we'll remind you back home next. We don't have a
- 17:07Speaker 1: kick time yet for Houston. We should have that a
- 17:09Speaker 1: little bit later on tonight. They're playing Oklahoma State in Houston.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Devin in the backfield. Two backs with him. Kyrie Schultz
- 17:16Speaker 1: comes in motion for Utah. Colorado showing. Blitz up the
- 17:19Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. They get the ball to the outside.
- 17:21Speaker 1: That's Daniel Bray. 30, 35, and 36-yard line goes Daniel Bray.
- 17:25Speaker 1: He'll pick up seven yards on first down. Tackled by
- 17:27Speaker 1: Lefou or Lufau. Linebacker for Colorado.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Absolutely love it.
- 17:32Speaker 2: And they're going no huddle. That's how you're applying pressure.
- 17:35Speaker 2: You're calling the play at the line of scrimmage, not
- 17:37Speaker 2: allowing the defense to rest.
- 17:38Speaker 3: That is what you have to do. That is the
- 17:40Speaker 3: recipe for success.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Three receivers in the pattern this time. The big fella, Kaolonga,
- 17:45Speaker 1: in the backfield for Utah. Second down and three. They've
- 17:48Speaker 1: got man coverage to the upper part of the formation
- 17:51Speaker 1: with Braden Pagan. Now a pistol formation. Sean Parker comes
- 17:55Speaker 1: back in. He takes the handoff, bounces around and dives forward.
- 17:59Speaker 1: He'll pick up about two. He'll be about a yard
- 18:02Speaker 1: short of first down yardage. Out to the 38 yard line.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Nice tackle by Nate Mitchell. The safety to come up
- 18:08Speaker 1: and stop him. Third down and one coming up. Utah
- 18:13Speaker 1: two for two on third down so far here tonight.
- 18:17Speaker 1: You line up and just run it here. You get
- 18:19Speaker 1: Devin out on the edge. We'll see three receivers split
- 18:21Speaker 1: wide to the right-hand side. Weeshawn Parker at the backfield.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Colorado with four at the line of scrimmage. Now the
- 18:26Speaker 1: backers creep closer on third down and a yard. Dampier
- 18:32Speaker 1: hands it. Parker first down beyond the 40 and out
- 18:35Speaker 1: to the 42-yard line goes Weeshawn Parker for a four-yard
- 18:37Speaker 1: gain and an Ivory Holmes first down.
- 18:41Speaker 3: Big hit right there by the linebacker, LaFleur.
- 18:44Speaker 2: But great job of picking up the first down. That's
- 18:47Speaker 2: understanding what the first down marker.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Is and making that happen.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Kelvin Obot down on the field for Utah, an injured player,
- 18:55Speaker 1: starting at left guard tonight.
- 18:57Speaker 4: Timeout for an offensive injury. The injured player was going
- 19:01Speaker 4: down before the ball was spotted. Utah will not be
- 19:03Speaker 4: charged with a timeout.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Kelvin went to get up and then went back down again.
- 19:12Speaker 1: may have gotten rolled up on they're taking a look
- 19:14Speaker 1: at his ankles and lower leg right now first down
- 19:18Speaker 1: in 10 utah clock stopped at 603 to play here
- 19:20Speaker 1: in the first quarter seven nothing utes they marched down
- 19:23Speaker 1: the field 75 yards on the opening drive in 12
- 19:27Speaker 1: plays took 521 off the game clock well if kelvin's
- 19:31Speaker 1: not able to go and he's limping as he gets
- 19:33Speaker 1: up he's going to need some help to get off
- 19:34Speaker 1: the field keith olsen will go with the ball game Keith,
- 19:39Speaker 1: of course, started the first few games of the year. Utah,
- 19:41Speaker 1: this is where the depth comes in handy, having some
- 19:44Speaker 1: of those guys rotate through in those first few games
- 19:46Speaker 1: guys when you have a situation like this yeah and.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Uh that's unfortunate for the injury it looks kind of
- 19:53Speaker 2: similar to what the colorado players injury was as well but.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Um yeah yeah look he just got rolled up.
- 20:01Speaker 2: We just saw it on the replay he got rolled
- 20:04Speaker 2: up and that happens man standing around the pile um
- 20:07Speaker 2: hopefully he's all right and can walk this off and
- 20:10Speaker 2: we'll get him.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Back soon so to be first and 10 for the
- 20:12Speaker 1: Utes at their own 42 yard line Bird Ficklin in
- 20:14Speaker 1: the ball game now along with Devin Dampier Braden Pagan
- 20:19Speaker 1: Will Money Kyrie Scholes also in haven't really seen much
- 20:23Speaker 1: from Kyrie this year he's just got the one catch
- 20:25Speaker 1: both Ficklin and Dampier in the backfield on first down
- 20:28Speaker 1: and 10 Colorado with a four man down front now
- 20:30Speaker 1: they're trying to figure this thing out Both guys can
- 20:34Speaker 1: do a lot for you in that backfield. Let's see
- 20:36Speaker 1: what Kevin McGiven has dialed up as Colorado creeps near
- 20:39Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Utah firing over the middle ball,
- 20:41Speaker 1: deflected as Devin Dampier tried to get that to Braden Pagan.
- 20:45Speaker 1: It goes incomplete. Second down and 10 coming up.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I really like that.
- 20:49Speaker 2: You're getting all the defense to react to the left,
- 20:52Speaker 2: and then you're doing a throwback on the backside slant
- 20:54Speaker 2: right there. You get those linebackers to overcommit because you
- 20:57Speaker 2: have an unbalance on that side. You just put so
- 21:00Speaker 2: much focus on open side. But just good hands in
- 21:02Speaker 2: the passing lane there by Colorado.
- 21:04Speaker 1: If he completes that, Braden Pagan may have gone the
- 21:06Speaker 1: distance on that.
- 21:07Speaker 2: He had a step on the defender again, right? He
- 21:10Speaker 2: catches that, you know, and he's gone.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Dampier and Bray lined up in the backfield. Second down
- 21:15Speaker 1: and 10. Devon's going to pass again. Roll to his
- 21:17Speaker 1: left-hand side. Looking down the field. He's got a man
- 21:19Speaker 1: open down the field. And it's caught! But out of bounds.
- 21:22Speaker 3: He didn't get a foot down.
- 21:23Speaker 1: He did not get a foot down. That was an
- 21:24Speaker 1: outstanding grab by Kyrie Scholes. He could have dumped that
- 21:28Speaker 1: to Daniel Bray in the flat and picked up about
- 21:30Speaker 1: 15 yards, but instead tried for the big play. It
- 21:32Speaker 1: goes incomplete. Third down coming up.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Well, he went to the right guy. His guy was open.
- 21:36Speaker 2: It was just a little on the outside right there
- 21:39Speaker 2: out of the outreached arms.
- 21:41Speaker 3: He got it, but his foot didn't come.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Down, unfortunately.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Three for three on third down. This is the longest
- 21:48Speaker 1: one of the night so far for the Utes. Third
- 21:50Speaker 1: down and 10 from their own 42. Devin stands by
- 21:53Speaker 1: himself with a shotgun as it gets loud here at
- 21:55Speaker 1: Folsom Field. Three receivers spread across the formation. Whittemore comes
- 22:00Speaker 1: in motion. Here comes the blitz. Devin looks. Devin scrambles.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Devin down the field. He avoids the sack. Still looking
- 22:07Speaker 1: and throwing and over the head of Whittemore.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Incomplete.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Colorado thought they had him sacked. And he wanted Whittemore
- 22:16Speaker 1: to continue his route up the field. Instead, he cut
- 22:18Speaker 1: it off. That ball goes incomplete. The punt team will
- 22:20Speaker 1: come out.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Well, great job avoiding the sack right there by Devin Dampierre.
- 22:26Speaker 3: He actually had some time after he.
- 22:30Speaker 4: Utah has changed jerseys for the scrimmage kick formation.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a little bit more time to even
- 22:38Speaker 2: deliver that football after he made the first guy miss.
- 22:41Speaker 1: So Orion Phillips on the punt here. And Taylor back
- 22:44Speaker 1: deep to receive this kick. Oh, it's a shank. Oh, shank,
- 22:47Speaker 1: a potamus out of bounds to the right side. An
- 22:50Speaker 1: absolutely mishit that time by Orion Phillips, who's normally very reliable.
- 22:56Speaker 1: And Colorado's going to have unbelievable starting field position here
- 23:00Speaker 1: after this punt that went out of bounds at their
- 23:02Speaker 1: own 46-yard line. Goodness gracious.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Eight-yard punt?
- 23:05Speaker 1: Ooh, goodness.
- 23:06Speaker 2: And he had no pressure. There was no pressure at all.
- 23:10Speaker 2: He could have took his time with that if he
- 23:11Speaker 2: needed to.
- 23:12Speaker 1: 14-yard punt straight sideways and out of bounds. And Colorado
- 23:15Speaker 1: will start in great starting field position here after Utah
- 23:19Speaker 1: stopped on downs. Bad punt out of bounds. Sets Colorado up.
- 23:24Speaker 1: See what Isaac Wilson does his second time out. Michael
- 23:26Speaker 1: Welch starting tailback of the ball game, this time for Colorado.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Two receivers split wide to the left-hand side, one wide
- 23:33Speaker 1: to the right-hand side. Tied into the right slot here.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Four-man down front for Utah on first and ten. Colorado
- 23:39Speaker 1: from their own 44. Hand off Welch into the pile.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Not much. Pushes it forward and picks up two yards
- 23:46Speaker 1: out to the 46. Carson Kafusi led the way on that.
- 23:51Speaker 1: After a two-yard gain, second down and eight.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Great job by the defensive front right there. You're cutting
- 23:55Speaker 2: off that north-to-south penetration extremely early. Make it a one-
- 23:59Speaker 2: or two-yard gain right there is exactly what you.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Want to do on those plays.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Four receivers split wide to the right side now. Welch
- 24:06Speaker 1: stays in the ball game in a pistol formation behind
- 24:09Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson. He's going to throw that ball out into
- 24:12Speaker 1: the flats. Got that ball complete to his wide out
- 24:14Speaker 1: into Utah territory to the 50. And gang tackled right
- 24:18Speaker 1: near first down yardage. In fact, they'll give it to him.
- 24:20Speaker 1: They needed eight. They got eight and a half. Joseph Williams,
- 24:23Speaker 1: the big play guy, came up with that catch. And
- 24:25Speaker 1: they just had more numbers out there than Utah did.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Which is, that shouldn't happen.
- 24:30Speaker 2: But right here, Elijah Reed just needs to go right
- 24:33Speaker 2: upfield and really force the issue right there. But good
- 24:37Speaker 2: job by Colorado at executing right there and stop blocking.
- 24:39Speaker 3: On the outside.
- 24:40Speaker 1: First first down of the night for the Buffs as
- 24:43Speaker 1: they're into Utah territory at the Utah 46-yard line. Elijah Ellis,
- 24:48Speaker 1: a late sub on the field here for the Utes.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Four receivers now split wide to the left-hand side. Wide
- 24:54Speaker 1: receiver in motion and all kinds of movement up front.
- 24:57Speaker 1: This is going to go on Colorado.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Yeah, good job by defense.
- 25:02Speaker 2: It happens with discipline and not jumping right there, but
- 25:05Speaker 2: it's going to push Colorado back.
- 25:07Speaker 3: This is exactly what you want to do, get them
- 25:08Speaker 3: behind the sticks. Man, it is such a nice night tonight.
- 25:16Speaker 3: I was expecting snow this week.
- 25:18Speaker 1: No snow. It's a beautiful day. It hit about 74
- 25:21Speaker 1: today here in Boulder. Temperature now at about 59 degrees.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Here's our referee with a call.
- 25:28Speaker 4: Delay of game. Number 90 defense. Disconcerting signals and movement.
- 25:33Speaker 4: Five-yard penalty. First down.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Utah gets a couple of those penalties. It seems like
- 25:38Speaker 1: every single game they get Jai Mo for trying to
- 25:40Speaker 1: simulate the snap count. That'll be five yards and first
- 25:43Speaker 1: down and five. For Colorado now, they move it to
- 25:46Speaker 1: the Utah 41-yard line. Defensive players always sneaking around over there,
- 25:52Speaker 1: trying to get that advantage.
- 25:53Speaker 2: No, it comes with this concern. You know, he did
- 25:55Speaker 2: a move-move call and caused the offense to jump.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Pistol formation for Isaac Wilson, who's going to run the
- 26:00Speaker 1: option to the outside, and he's going to get absolutely
- 26:03Speaker 1: blown up, and the ball comes out. Does Utah have it?
- 26:06Speaker 3: Yeah, Jai Mo picked it up.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Looks like Jai Mo came up with that. It's a fumble.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson coughs it up, and Utah's got it.
- 26:12Speaker 4: The ruling of the field is a fumble recovered by
- 26:14Speaker 4: the defense. First down, Utah.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson fumbles. Utah comes up with it, and that's
- 26:20Speaker 1: the first big turnover tonight for the Utah defense. The
- 26:23Speaker 1: hit was made by Jonu Hall. Jai Moe comes up
- 26:26Speaker 1: with it, and it's Utah football.
- 26:28Speaker 3: There's a review on the jumbotron. His knee was down.
- 26:31Speaker 1: All right, timeout on the field. We'll sort it out
- 26:33Speaker 1: when we get back.
- 26:33Speaker 4: The ruling of a fumble recovered by the defense is
- 26:35Speaker 4: under further review.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Do we have a TV timeout, or don't we have
- 26:40Speaker 1: a TV timeout? I don't think we have a TV
- 26:42Speaker 1: timeout now. They're taking the big numbers board back to
- 26:45Speaker 1: the sideline, so we'll get a review. You took a
- 26:47Speaker 1: look at it. You think he's down?
- 26:49Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we got it here.
- 26:51Speaker 2: They're pulling him down here, and then his right knee
- 26:53Speaker 2: touches right there. He's down before the ball comes out.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Colorado retained the ball.
- 26:58Speaker 1: It was Hall who made the hit. The ball was
- 27:01Speaker 1: ripped out by Ethan Day, but he was down. The
- 27:05Speaker 1: knee was down, so that's not going to be a fumble.
- 27:07Speaker 1: For Isaac Wilson, he will lose a yard back to
- 27:10Speaker 1: about the 41-yard line or maybe a no game. Second
- 27:13Speaker 1: down at about 5 or 6 coming up.
- 27:15Speaker 2: It's very easy to make that mistake because Isaac Wilson
- 27:17Speaker 2: ended up landing on top of Ethan Day. So if
- 27:21Speaker 2: you don't see this knee quickly, you would likely like
- 27:25Speaker 2: he landed on the defender when the ball was ripped out.
- 27:28Speaker 2: But great job by the defense of staying on top
- 27:30Speaker 2: of all of that in case they didn't catch it.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Utah football today being brought to you by Pepsi and
- 27:36Speaker 1: by Smith's two great corporate partners of Utah football. Here's
- 27:41Speaker 1: Kevin Boydman with a call.
- 27:45Speaker 4: After further review, the runner was down with control before
- 27:49Speaker 4: losing the ball. Colorado will retain the ball. It will
- 27:53Speaker 4: be second down.
- 27:55Speaker 1: It's the right call. We saw it on the replay
- 27:58Speaker 1: and it'll be second down here for Colorado and Isaac
- 28:00Speaker 1: Wilson loses a yard of the place of second down
- 28:02Speaker 1: at 6. Very fortunate that time.
- 28:07Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would keep ripping at it.
- 28:09Speaker 2: That's going to happen again. Isaac Wilson's going to get
- 28:11Speaker 2: loose with the football, and you're going to be able
- 28:13Speaker 2: to poke it out.
- 28:14Speaker 3: You know, this defense has got to be opportunistic today.
- 28:16Speaker 1: From the Utah 41-yard line, second down and six here
- 28:18Speaker 1: for the Colorado Buffaloes. Man coverage to the top here
- 28:21Speaker 1: for Utah. Tailback Welch just to the right. Now they
- 28:25Speaker 1: bring a tight end in motion on second down and six.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Going to hand that ball to Welch. Tries to bounce
- 28:29Speaker 1: to the outside, and he's going to be ridden to
- 28:31Speaker 1: the far side and thrown down by Jackson Benny behind
- 28:34Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Oh, now a late flag comes out.
- 28:36Speaker 4: On what?
- 28:38Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that flag is. Are they going
- 28:42Speaker 1: to call some sort of extracurricular here on Utah? I'm
- 28:44Speaker 1: not sure. It looked like a pretty clean tackle.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Face mask on the offense.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Oh, they're going to call face mask on the offense here.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Let's take a look at it.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Yes, he did. He had Benny's face mask. So.
- 28:56Speaker 4: Personal foul. Face mask. Number 29 offense. 15-yard penalty. Replay
- 29:03Speaker 4: second down.
- 29:05Speaker 1: He did indeed when you looked at the replay. Jackson
- 29:07Speaker 1: made a great play on that. Welch grabbed his face
- 29:09Speaker 1: mask and Jackson threw him down for a two-yard loss.
- 29:12Speaker 1: And now second down and long coming up here for
- 29:14Speaker 1: Colorado with 335 to play here in the first quarter.
- 29:17Speaker 5: 7-0 Utah.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Sorry, I got defensive. Normally they always call the penalties.
- 29:21Speaker 1: On the defense.
- 29:21Speaker 3: So I'm just like, for what?
- 29:23Speaker 1: Well, you usually don't see. The only face masks you
- 29:25Speaker 1: usually see are linemen when they get up into the
- 29:27Speaker 1: face mask of a defender. But yeah, Welch definitely got
- 29:30Speaker 1: a hold of Jackson, and he turned his helmet sideways, too.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 29:33Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious. Second down here, and very long for Colorado.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Second down. and about 22. Wilson to pass, rolling to
- 29:43Speaker 1: his right, looking out to his right, and overthrows Joseph
- 29:45Speaker 1: Williams incomplete. Tried to get that to his big play guy.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Coverage was pretty good out there by Utah. Third down
- 29:51Speaker 1: and long coming up.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Yeah, coverage was great, but this is exactly what we want.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Now we can bring pressure right now. I feel like
- 29:56Speaker 3: on that play, Isaac Wilson had happy feet. He let
- 29:58Speaker 3: that ball go early. He knew the blitz was coming.
- 30:01Speaker 2: And so when he knows that, he's going to be
- 30:03Speaker 2: very inaccurate because he's getting happy.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Feet in the pocket.
- 30:06Speaker 1: So here we go. Third down here for Colorado and
- 30:09Speaker 1: an eternity. Third down and 20. Plus, got to get
- 30:13Speaker 1: to the Utah 36 for a first down. Wilson operating
- 30:16Speaker 1: out of the shotgun. Five-man rush here for Utah. They
- 30:18Speaker 1: throw the screen pass out in the flat. Tailback's got it,
- 30:21Speaker 1: but he's not going anywhere. He'll get to the 50
- 30:23Speaker 1: and bounced out of bounds at about the 49. But
- 30:25Speaker 1: he'll still be about 13 yards shy of the first down,
- 30:28Speaker 1: and the punt team will come out here for Colorado.
- 30:31Speaker 1: That was Taylor, the tailback, who caught it. Picked up
- 30:33Speaker 1: decent yardage, but the Utah defense makes a nice stand.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Great job by this defense. It was a good play
- 30:38Speaker 2: call by Colorado. They get a lot of people to
- 30:40Speaker 2: the other side of the formation.
- 30:41Speaker 3: But what you want to do with the screen is
- 30:43Speaker 3: make sure that he goes east and west.
- 30:46Speaker 2: And so you turn him back inside into the Calvary.
- 30:49Speaker 2: It's exactly what Rabbit Evans does right there.
- 30:51Speaker 3: Great team defense.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Carvalho stands at his own 10. He had a 13-yard
- 30:55Speaker 1: return the first time through Damon Graves. Will punt from
- 30:58Speaker 1: just about his own 38-yard line. Kick is away. It's high.
- 31:01Speaker 1: It's end over end. Mata's going to signal a fair
- 31:03Speaker 1: catch and take it at about the 7-yard line. And
- 31:07Speaker 1: that's where Utah will take over first and ten when
- 31:09Speaker 1: we get back with 2.33 to play here in the
- 31:12Speaker 1: first quarter at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. It's Utah 7,
- 31:16Speaker 1: Colorado nothing. This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and
- 31:19Speaker 1: the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 31:21Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
- 31:25Speaker 5: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 31:30Speaker 1: From Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, this is Utah football
- 31:34Speaker 1: on a Saturday night in mid-October. Utah leading Colorado 7-0
- 31:38Speaker 1: on Bill Riley. That's Stevenson Sylvester. Zach Moss downstairs. Kelvin
- 31:44Speaker 1: Obot not out on the field this time around. Injured
- 31:47Speaker 1: the last time through. Not sure if we'll see Kelvin
- 31:50Speaker 1: again tonight. He needed help getting to the sideline, so
- 31:52Speaker 1: Keith Olsen in in his stead. Utah will have a
- 31:56Speaker 1: 93-yard field in front of them. Had a really good
- 31:58Speaker 1: opening drive. Not quite so much on that last drive. Sly,
- 32:01Speaker 1: what would you like to see him get back to here?
- 32:03Speaker 2: Well, I run in the football a little bit more effectively, right?
- 32:07Speaker 2: The straight ahead running works. Way Sean Parker is working.
- 32:11Speaker 3: You're getting those guys to barrel down on you and
- 32:13Speaker 3: implement that RPO game. But I would go back to
- 32:17Speaker 3: more Way Sean Parker here on this drive.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker tonight. Five carries, 18 yards. Devin Dampier,
- 32:27Speaker 1: four of nine, 49 yards. 233 to play here in
- 32:32Speaker 1: the first quarter. Parker, the ball game. Sione, the rhino back,
- 32:37Speaker 1: also in the ball game in the backfield. Tied in,
- 32:39Speaker 1: two wide receivers here for Utah from their own seven-yard line.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Colorado trying to limit Utah and shorten this game a
- 32:48Speaker 1: bit with the running game. Devin operating out of the
- 32:51Speaker 1: pistol with the rhino back offset to his right-hand side.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Now it's going to be the Wildcat. Straight ahead, Wayshawn
- 32:58Speaker 1: Parker to the outside, back to the inside. He's got
- 33:00Speaker 1: the 30-20 and now down to about 21-yard line. He
- 33:04Speaker 1: had a minute there where he might have broken that
- 33:06Speaker 1: into the open field, but he picks up 18 on
- 33:08Speaker 1: first down for an Ivory Holmes first down.
- 33:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that was going to be a 94-yard
- 33:12Speaker 3: touchdown there.
- 33:14Speaker 2: He almost had a lane right there, but Colorado cut
- 33:16Speaker 2: him down. Great job, great execution right there.
- 33:18Speaker 4: On the wildcat.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Bird Ficklin in the ballgame for Utah. Five-wide receiver look here.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker split the right slot. Devin by himself in
- 33:26Speaker 1: the backfield. Colorado with five at the line of scrimmage.
- 33:29Speaker 1: First down and 10 for the 21-yard line. Ficklin comes
- 33:32Speaker 1: in motion. Now he orbits. Devin looking, throwing in the
- 33:36Speaker 1: flat to Bird Ficklin. Trying to make a man miss, does,
- 33:38Speaker 1: and dives forward to about the 24-yard line for a
- 33:41Speaker 1: gain of three yards. Second down and seven coming up.
- 33:45Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a great job. They had the guys
- 33:47Speaker 3: deep covered.
- 33:47Speaker 2: You just throw it in the flat right there to
- 33:49Speaker 2: Bird Ficklin and pick up as much as you can
- 33:52Speaker 2: right there.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Great job on first down.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Second down and seven. Parker back at the ballgame for Utah.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Two receivers left, two receivers right here. Minute 25 to
- 34:02Speaker 1: play in the first quarter. Colorado showing pressure. They walk
- 34:08Speaker 1: up to the line. Now they walk it back again.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Devin's going to keep it himself. Bounce to the outside.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Keep it to the outside. He's going to lose yardage.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Back to about the 22-yard line. That play really had
- 34:19Speaker 1: no chance. And Devin's slow getting up on that play.
- 34:21Speaker 1: He'll lose two on it. Third down and long coming up.
- 34:24Speaker 1: That one didn't really have much of a chance from
- 34:25Speaker 1: the start.
- 34:26Speaker 2: It didn't have legs on that run right there. They
- 34:28Speaker 2: stocked that up really well. I honestly thought.
- 34:30Speaker 3: The way that they stopped it.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Up was like they were going to do a fake
- 34:34Speaker 2: to QB run back, and he was going to throw
- 34:36Speaker 2: it again. But that was just a great job by
- 34:38Speaker 2: Colorado at stuffing up the point of attack.
- 34:41Speaker 1: So here we go. Utah three out of four on
- 34:43Speaker 1: third down. Third down and eight. Got to get to
- 34:47Speaker 1: the Colorado 31-yard line. Devin out of the shotgun. Buff
- 34:52Speaker 1: showing blitz. Throwing one up the field. He's got his
- 34:55Speaker 1: man out there. Incomplete, but a flag flies. And this
- 34:58Speaker 1: is going to be pass interference. Maybe holdings. On Colorado,
- 35:01Speaker 1: but it's going to be a Utah first down.
- 35:03Speaker 2: Wow, what a job by way Sean Parker at picking
- 35:06Speaker 2: up the blitz right there.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Holding number four defense 10 yard penalty automatic.
- 35:14Speaker 1: First down way Sean Parker got that blitzing safety Ron
- 35:18Speaker 1: debt and kept Devin clean to get that pass off.
- 35:21Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was a great job.
- 35:23Speaker 2: His willingness to do stuff like that is why he's
- 35:25Speaker 2: going to be a top draft pick and and whenever
- 35:28Speaker 2: he decides to.
- 35:28Speaker 3: Go to the draft.
- 35:29Speaker 1: So move him five yards and a first down. 32
- 35:32Speaker 1: seconds to play here in the first quarter. Out to
- 35:35Speaker 1: the 32-yard line. Now 33-yard line it goes. Daniel Gray,
- 35:42Speaker 1: the back of the backfield on first down. They hand
- 35:44Speaker 1: it to Daniel Gray, and he is thrown down to
- 35:46Speaker 1: the ground after about a one-yard gain out to about
- 35:49Speaker 1: the 33-yard line. Actually, no gain for Daniel Gray on
- 35:52Speaker 1: that play. Second down and 10 coming up. Tackle on
- 35:54Speaker 1: the play by Manuel, the defensive tackle. And that will
- 35:57Speaker 1: likely take us to the end of the first quarter
- 35:59Speaker 1: here at Folsom Field. Clock ticking down to 10 seconds,
- 36:03Speaker 1: 9 seconds, and 8 seconds. Utah is going to be
- 36:06Speaker 1: very comfortable heading to the second quarter with a 7-point lead.
- 36:10Speaker 1: And despite outplaying the Buffs here, it's just a 7-point lead.
- 36:14Speaker 1: We go to the second quarter here at Folsom Field
- 36:16Speaker 1: with Utah facing a second down and 10 when we
- 36:18Speaker 1: get back. This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and
- 36:22Speaker 1: the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 36:24Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football brought to you by Pepsi
- 36:28Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Our broadcast tonight from here in Boulder, Colorado as we
- 36:35Speaker 1: head to the second quarter brought to you by Slackwater Pizza.
- 36:38Speaker 1: A great location to enjoy a great meal and friendship
- 36:41Speaker 1: and family with friends and family all over the Salt
- 36:43Speaker 1: Lake Valley and all over northern Utah. It's Slackwater Pizza.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Utah 7-0. As we go to the second quarter, BYU
- 36:58Speaker 1: has just beaten Notre Dame in Provo 2824, making things
- 37:02Speaker 1: a whole lot more interesting in the Big 12 Conference now.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Houston also winning tonight over Oklahoma State 3532. So Houston
- 37:12Speaker 1: comes to Salt Lake City next week at a big
- 37:14Speaker 1: one on the line with two nationally ranked teams. First
- 37:16Speaker 1: quarter numbers, Utah at 104 yards, Colorado 26, 52 on
- 37:18Speaker 1: the ground, 52 through the air for Utah. 20 through
- 37:23Speaker 1: the air, six on the ground for Colorado. Utah ran
- 37:25Speaker 1: 22 plays sly, but just seven points.
- 37:28Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to punch it in the
- 37:31Speaker 3: end zone.
- 37:32Speaker 2: I know that they need to get downfield, and I'm
- 37:35Speaker 2: being very.
- 37:38Speaker 2: I want my team to do the most, right? But
- 37:40Speaker 2: it's been a very productive first quarter. It's been slow.
- 37:44Speaker 2: When you're going against an opponent like Colorado, you're expecting
- 37:47Speaker 2: them to to really demolish them and do all these
- 37:50Speaker 2: things so but like in in good football i think
- 37:52Speaker 2: utah's played good football on defense and on offense uh
- 37:56Speaker 2: they they played really well uh aside from the shank
- 37:59Speaker 2: punt um that we've had it's been a very clean
- 38:02Speaker 2: game um but the offense has to put this in
- 38:05Speaker 2: end zone we we need a lot of points the
- 38:07Speaker 2: way we we can like what are we 14 15
- 38:10Speaker 2: games straight of 30 plus points You've got to keep
- 38:13Speaker 2: that going.
- 38:13Speaker 1: 11 straight, to be exact. Straight games of 30-plus or more.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Also 11 straight wins for Utah as well. They've got
- 38:20Speaker 1: a second down and 10 here from their own 33-yard
- 38:22Speaker 1: line as we begin the second quarter. Utah moving north
- 38:24Speaker 1: to south here at Folsom Field, leading at 7-0. See
- 38:26Speaker 1: what Kevin McGiven dials up here with such a clean
- 38:31Speaker 1: first drive. The last two have been a little bit
- 38:33Speaker 1: more off. We'll see what he dials up here on
- 38:35Speaker 1: this drive. Bird Ficklin in the backfield. Two tight ends
- 38:40Speaker 1: on the left side. Two receivers on the right-hand side
- 38:43Speaker 1: for Utah. Colorado again crowding the line of scrimmage. Now
- 38:47Speaker 1: they bring Daniel Bray in motion across the formation. Devin's
- 38:49Speaker 1: going to throw it in the flat. He's got Bird
- 38:51Speaker 1: Ficklin up the field. And Bird tackled after about a
- 38:53Speaker 1: three-yard gain out to the 36-yard line. It's almost as
- 38:56Speaker 1: if they're spying on Bird Ficklin today. That was the safety, Rondette,
- 39:01Speaker 1: and the linebacker, LeFou, that made the tackle. Third down
- 39:04Speaker 1: and seven coming up.
- 39:05Speaker 3: That was a good job. Bird Finklin, actually, that was
- 39:08Speaker 3: a beautifully thrown ball. If Bird Finklin gets by that guy,
- 39:10Speaker 3: he's going for a little while now. That was a
- 39:13Speaker 3: great play call, great pickup, making it third down and manageable.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Third down and seven is not that daunting for this
- 39:19Speaker 2: Utah offense.
- 39:19Speaker 1: Utah third down, three out of four on third down tonight.
- 39:22Speaker 1: They employ three receivers split wide to the left-hand side.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Devin by himself in the shotgun. Colorado with a four-man
- 39:28Speaker 1: down front. See if they bring pressure here. Delayed blitz.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Here they come on Dan Peer over the middle. That
- 39:33Speaker 1: one's going to be a run and a catch and
- 39:35Speaker 1: a fumble by Wayshon Parker. And he falls back on
- 39:38Speaker 1: it at about the 43-yard line. That's going to be
- 39:40Speaker 1: right at the first down marker for Wayshon Parker. He
- 39:44Speaker 1: was punched out, but he got back on it. That
- 39:46Speaker 1: should be a first down for Utah. Let's see.
- 39:48Speaker 2: I think the fumble made him have to go back
- 39:50Speaker 2: behind the first down marker.
- 39:52Speaker 1: Oh, they're going to say fourth down and about inches here,
- 39:54Speaker 1: and I think Utah's going to go for it here. Oh, goodness.
- 39:57Speaker 1: He had running room, and then it just got punched out.
- 39:59Speaker 3: Yeah, great job right there at punching that ball out.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Utah's going to keep the offense out there.
- 40:05Speaker 3: I like it.
- 40:06Speaker 1: On fourth down and inches.
- 40:07Speaker 3: I like it. Your defense is playing great. This is
- 40:11Speaker 3: a physical move here, right? And pose your will on
- 40:14Speaker 3: the defense right here. I would bet that they go
- 40:17Speaker 3: zero coverage here. Across the board.
- 40:19Speaker 1: Well, Wayshawn Parker's your wildcat back. Of course they will now.
- 40:22Speaker 1: He's not going to throw it. Wayshawn in. Wayshawn pushing.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Wayshawn's second effort. Did he get there? I think he did.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
- 40:32Speaker 1: I think he got there. I think the second effort
- 40:35Speaker 1: got Wayshawn Parker that first down.
- 40:36Speaker 2: That might be a third effort. What a job by
- 40:39Speaker 2: Wayshawn Parker. Because they stocked that up really, really good.
- 40:43Speaker 2: They're going to have to measure this.
- 40:44Speaker 1: They're going to bring out the chains to measure it.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Colorado says they stopped him. I thought his second effort
- 40:49Speaker 1: got him there. He only needed inches.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. If they mark it down, they've got
- 40:54Speaker 3: to review that.
- 40:54Speaker 1: That's a first down. They're not even going to measure it.
- 40:56Speaker 1: The referee spied it, and he said first down. I
- 40:59Speaker 1: thought that's the right call.
- 41:00Speaker 3: He needed inches.
- 41:01Speaker 1: He got probably half a yard.
- 41:03Speaker 3: On the TV copy, he definitely got it.
- 41:05Speaker 2: So great job by Wayshawn Parker right there with his
- 41:07Speaker 2: second and third efforts.
- 41:08Speaker 3: Of really making sure you extend his.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Drive to fourth down conversion for Utah. They keep Parker
- 41:13Speaker 1: the ball game. He's going to run it on the
- 41:14Speaker 1: right side and dive forward to about the 47 yard
- 41:17Speaker 1: line for a gate of four yards on first now.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Way Sean's had a nice night rushing the football so far.
- 41:23Speaker 1: Eight carries. Now 37 yards. Second down and six coming
- 41:29Speaker 1: up here for Utah. Toby made the tackle for Colorado.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Utah going without a huddle. Late substitution. Colorado will get
- 41:42Speaker 1: their guy off the field. Second down and six from
- 41:44Speaker 1: the Utah. 46 yard line. Hunter Andrews in motion. Devin
- 41:51Speaker 1: Dampier throwing wide to the far side. Caught there. And
- 41:55Speaker 1: where are they going to mark it down? They're going
- 41:56Speaker 1: to mark Daniel Braid just shy. Make it actually... That
- 42:01Speaker 1: was Johnson. Ricky Johnson came up with that catch. Just
- 42:04Speaker 1: half a yard shy of the first down. Picked up
- 42:06Speaker 1: about six.
- 42:09Speaker 2: I think we've already stated that we're willing to go
- 42:11Speaker 2: for it on fourth down here on this drive.
- 42:13Speaker 3: So this is two-down territory. Again, take what the defense
- 42:17Speaker 3: is giving you. If the defense is giving you the run,
- 42:19Speaker 3: then here they go with that multiple guys, full house backfield.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Now they motion him out. Just the big fella in
- 42:24Speaker 1: the backfield right now with Devin Dampier. Taolonga. Devin fires outside,
- 42:31Speaker 1: caught by Ficklin. Tries to break a tackle and spins
- 42:34Speaker 1: down at the Colorado 42-yard line. That's a first down.
- 42:37Speaker 1: On a pitch and catch of five yards. And Utah
- 42:40Speaker 1: keeps the drive alive. Bird Fickler with a reception. And
- 42:43Speaker 1: an Ivory Holmes first down.
- 42:45Speaker 3: That's your backup quarterback.
- 42:48Speaker 4: It is.
- 42:48Speaker 3: He looks great out there in space.
- 42:50Speaker 1: He is a weapon.
- 42:51Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
- 42:52Speaker 1: He may be listed as backup quarterback, but he's a weapon.
- 42:55Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. It's only a moment in time before he
- 42:58Speaker 3: starts throwing balls here.
- 43:01Speaker 1: From the Colorado 42-yard line. Wayshon Parker comes in motion.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Play action pass. Devin looking to throw. Has a man open.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Braden Pagan down the field behind the defense, and he
- 43:10Speaker 1: overshoots him into the end zone. He had three steps
- 43:13Speaker 1: on the defenders. Free Thomas was chasing him, and Devin
- 43:17Speaker 1: would love to have that one back. Incomplete it goes.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. You get some short bombs, and now
- 43:23Speaker 3: you just overthrow them. I cannot wait for that connection
- 43:26Speaker 3: to happen.
- 43:26Speaker 2: It's been one too many times where we've missed in
- 43:29Speaker 2: the wide open field right here, but he gets it.
- 43:31Speaker 2: Brady Pagan does a great job of getting a step
- 43:34Speaker 2: on the defender. He knows exactly how to crease him.
- 43:36Speaker 3: Almost Randy Moss-ish, but we've got to connect on these
- 43:39Speaker 3: deep balls.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Second down and 10. Full house backfield for Utah. Ray
- 43:44Speaker 1: lines up in the pistol to give it to Hunter
- 43:46Speaker 1: Andrews instead. Hunter Andrews making his way forward. Picks up
- 43:49Speaker 1: just a yard to the 41-yard line. Not much there
- 43:52Speaker 1: for Hunter Andrews.
- 43:55Speaker 3: I mean, we've got to commend Colorado. They're doing a
- 43:57Speaker 3: pretty good job against the worm right now. They're doing
- 43:59Speaker 3: a good job at their first point of attack. stopping
- 44:01Speaker 3: us and stalemating us and knocking it out for short games.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Yamil Tlaib made the tackle. Cousin to Aqib Tlaib, the
- 44:09Speaker 1: former NFL cornerback. Third down and nine. Utah four out
- 44:13Speaker 1: of six on third down. Got to get to the
- 44:16Speaker 1: Colorado 32. Four receivers in the pattern this time for
- 44:20Speaker 1: Utah as Colorado shows pressure again up front. Here they come.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Devin throws the screen in the flat. It's caught. That's
- 44:28Speaker 1: the 40. That's the 35. That's the 30. And out
- 44:30Speaker 1: of bounds at the 27 goes Daniel Bray. That's the
- 44:33Speaker 1: blitz beater, and that's a late hit on Colorado. Absolutely positively,
- 44:38Speaker 1: that's a late hit on Colorado's Boo Carter, who was
- 44:41Speaker 1: talking trash earlier to Devin Dampier. He's going to get
- 44:44Speaker 1: tagged for 15 more yards right here.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just unnecessary. I mean, he hit Daniel Bray,
- 44:50Speaker 2: and then he threw the blocker.
- 44:52Speaker 4: After the play was over, personal foul, late hit out
- 44:55Speaker 4: of bounds. Number six, defense. At the distance to the
- 44:59Speaker 4: goal line, automatic first down.
- 45:01Speaker 1: That was a great blitz beater by Devin Dampier. He
- 45:04Speaker 1: saw six and seven guys coming, dumped it in the
- 45:06Speaker 1: flat to Bray. His speed did the rest.
- 45:09Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, but it was a beautiful pass of leading
- 45:12Speaker 2: the receiver, getting Daniel Bray. Right in stride right there.
- 45:15Speaker 2: It was an awesome job. Exactly what you want to
- 45:17Speaker 2: have happen right there. As you said, blitz beater right there.
- 45:20Speaker 3: They come quick. You dump it quick. Great blocking downfield. Big,
- 45:24Speaker 3: big game right there for Utah. Knocking at the door now.
- 45:30Speaker 1: So move it inside the 15 to the 13 yard line.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Inside the Canyon View Credit Union red zone for a
- 45:36Speaker 1: second time today. Go the Utes. Parker and Talonga. First
- 45:44Speaker 1: down handoff way Sean Parker up ended and he'll lose
- 45:47Speaker 1: a yard back to the 14 yard line. Good surge
- 45:50Speaker 1: by Gideon Lampren, the linebacker to knock him down for
- 45:53Speaker 1: a one yard loss.
- 45:54Speaker 3: Colorado doing a really good job at the point of attack.
- 45:56Speaker 3: They are shooting those gaps.
- 45:58Speaker 2: One thing we got to notice and maybe we game
- 46:01Speaker 2: plan against that to where it's like if they're shooting
- 46:03Speaker 2: those gaps, we'll get to put something right behind them.
- 46:05Speaker 3: But they're doing a really good job against the run
- 46:07Speaker 3: in those situations.
- 46:09Speaker 1: Empty backfield here for Devin Dampier. Five wide receivers in
- 46:12Speaker 1: the pattern this time for Utah. Second down and 11
- 46:16Speaker 1: for the Colorado 14-yard line.
- 46:19Speaker 4: Flag flies.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Colorado offside. Jump ball up through the hands of Pagan. Incomplete.
- 46:26Speaker 1: And this penalty is going to go on Colorado for
- 46:28Speaker 1: jumping in the neutral zone at the snap. And that
- 46:30Speaker 1: play won't count. Utah will get five yards.
- 46:34Speaker 4: Offside. Number 45 defense. Five-yard penalty, second down.
- 46:41Speaker 3: I really like it. They're looking for Brady Pagan around
- 46:43Speaker 3: the goal line. That big 6'4 frame, his jumping ability,
- 46:46Speaker 3: that's exactly what you want to do right there.
- 46:49Speaker 2: But good job at Al Harrison at noticing that they
- 46:53Speaker 2: jumped off sides, snapping that football right there and taking
- 46:56Speaker 2: a shot at the end zone.
- 46:58Speaker 1: So second down and we'll call it about six yards
- 47:00Speaker 1: to go. Moving to the nine yard line of Colorado.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Three down that time for Utah. They'll pick up five yards.
- 47:05Speaker 1: Parker in the backfield with waiting with Devin Dampier. Devin's
- 47:10Speaker 1: going to drop the pass. Looking, looking, surveying, firing across
- 47:13Speaker 1: the middle, broken up, trying to get that ball to
- 47:15Speaker 1: Benny the tight end. It goes incomplete and third down
- 47:18Speaker 1: coming up.
- 47:19Speaker 3: Yeah, he had your guy Creed Whittemore wide open in
- 47:22Speaker 3: the middle.
- 47:23Speaker 1: I mean wide open.
- 47:24Speaker 3: Just a miss.
- 47:26Speaker 1: He forced it into Benny well short of the sticks.
- 47:28Speaker 1: That's going to bring it up third down. Utah 5
- 47:31Speaker 1: for 7 on third down. Everything available to Utah here.
- 47:39Speaker 1: From the Colorado 9 yard line. Four receivers split wide
- 47:42Speaker 1: to the left hand side. One to the right. That's
- 47:44Speaker 1: Braden Pagan. Maybe they throw a jump ball to Pagan
- 47:47Speaker 1: here on the near side. We'll see. Parker comes in motion.
- 47:52Speaker 1: motions back out again blitz coming devin's gonna look to
- 47:56Speaker 1: throw end zone incomplete he got hit as he threw
- 48:01Speaker 1: trying to find that ball to pagan at the pylon
- 48:03Speaker 1: and the field goal team will come out here and
- 48:05Speaker 1: try and put three more on the board for utah
- 48:07Speaker 1: it was a good stand by colorado inside their own
- 48:09Speaker 1: 10 yard line.
- 48:10Speaker 2: That's crazy we've come away with points on that we
- 48:12Speaker 2: were training in the right direction again i felt like
- 48:15Speaker 2: we kind of went away from the run a little
- 48:17Speaker 2: bit there right we We get stood up once, and
- 48:19Speaker 2: then you just went straight passing right there. We missed
- 48:23Speaker 2: Creed Whittemore on the play before that. But coming away
- 48:26Speaker 2: with points, we need to come away with points in
- 48:27Speaker 2: the red zone.
- 48:28Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis on to attempt to field goal. He's four
- 48:30Speaker 1: out of five this year. This one will be from
- 48:34Speaker 1: 27 yards. Kick is up, but the kick is good.
- 48:39Speaker 1: And with 8.58 to play here in the second quarter,
- 48:41Speaker 1: Utah takes a 10-0 lead over the Colorado Buffaloes. We've
- 48:44Speaker 1: got a timeout on the field. That field goal brought
- 48:47Speaker 1: to you by G2G Protein and Energy Bars. When you
- 48:51Speaker 1: eat one, you know. From Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado,
- 48:54Speaker 1: a timeout on the field. A timeout brought to you
- 48:55Speaker 1: by Bamboo HR. This is Utah football from ESPN 700
- 48:59Speaker 1: and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 49:01Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
- 49:04Speaker 5: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the.
- 49:08Speaker 3: Ute Sports Network.
- 49:10Speaker 1: Back at Folsom Field, 10-0 Utah. 17 plays, 84 yards, 8.35
- 49:15Speaker 1: off the game clock. Utah had to settle for a
- 49:17Speaker 1: 27-yard field goal. Utah on the red zone this year now.
- 49:21Speaker 1: 26 of 28, 22 touchdowns and four field goals. Down
- 49:23Speaker 1: to Zach Moss on the Utah sideline for a Ken
- 49:26Speaker 1: Garf sideline update. Zach, they move the ball, they get
- 49:29Speaker 1: it first in goal just outside the nine-yard line, but
- 49:32Speaker 1: then they get stuffed. What did you see those last
- 49:33Speaker 1: couple of plays?
- 49:34Speaker 6: Yeah, we're doing an amazing job getting the ball down
- 49:37Speaker 6: the field. You know, sometimes you come away with some touchdowns,
- 49:40Speaker 6: sometimes you don't. But like I said, you know, great officers,
- 49:42Speaker 6: they always finish the drive at some point. So 10-zip game,
- 49:45Speaker 6: got a lot of game we have to go.
- 49:47Speaker 1: Thank you, Zach. That sideline update brought to you by
- 49:49Speaker 1: Ken Garf. We hear you.
- 49:52Speaker 3: Look at him, the optimist. I want a touchdown, Zach.
- 49:56Speaker 6: Right?
- 49:56Speaker 3: I want to come away with field goals, especially when
- 49:59Speaker 3: we're down there. We got all these weapons.
- 50:01Speaker 1: I want to get into Utah with 144 yards of
- 50:04Speaker 1: total offense, 26 for Colorado. That yardage update brought to
- 50:07Speaker 1: you by the good folks at CR England. Dylan Curtis
- 50:11Speaker 1: has it teed up, ready to go at his own
- 50:13Speaker 1: 35-yard line. Quentin Gibson back deep to receive this. He
- 50:17Speaker 1: chose not to return it last time. He's not going
- 50:20Speaker 1: to return this one either. It'll come after the 25-yard line,
- 50:23Speaker 1: and that's where Isaac Wilson and the Buffs offense will
- 50:26Speaker 1: start first and 10. What have you seen from Isaac
- 50:28Speaker 1: so far tonight?
- 50:30Speaker 2: Um, Normalize it. It's been exactly what we're looking for.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Of course, we need those turnovers. We came really close
- 50:37Speaker 2: on that strip play right there, but they're going to come.
- 50:39Speaker 2: So you've got to stay opportunistic on the defensive side
- 50:41Speaker 2: of the ball as far as punching the ball out.
- 50:44Speaker 2: These pass rushers, we get around the quarterback. We need
- 50:47Speaker 2: to swipe at the football, right? And when we get
- 50:50Speaker 2: an opportunity, because he'll throw it to you, catch it.
- 50:52Speaker 2: You have to catch the football and cause these turnovers today.
- 50:56Speaker 1: First and 10, Colorado from their own 25-yard line. Wilson
- 51:00Speaker 1: in the shotgun. Hands to the tailback, Smith. He breaks
- 51:03Speaker 1: through the first line and rolls down to about the
- 51:06Speaker 1: 28-yard line. Paul Fitzgerald made the tackle on the play.
- 51:09Speaker 1: Three-yard gain on first down, second down and seven coming
- 51:11Speaker 1: up here for the Bucs. Wilson not huddling his team,
- 51:20Speaker 1: deciding to do that at-the-line thing. Smith stays in a tailback,
- 51:24Speaker 1: the sophomore transfer. Utah playing press coverage. Here on the
- 51:28Speaker 1: near side, Wilson looking to throw to the outside. Has
- 51:30Speaker 1: that ball complete to his playmaker, Williams. And he's belted
- 51:34Speaker 1: from behind and out of bounds. I think we're going
- 51:36Speaker 1: to get a pick play here on Colorado as that
- 51:39Speaker 1: flag came in from deep. I think this one's going
- 51:42Speaker 1: against the buffs. Let's see. Pass interference on the offense.
- 51:48Speaker 1: Pick play.
- 51:51Speaker 4: Pass interference. Number 89, offense. 10-yard penalty, replay, second down.
- 51:57Speaker 1: Yeah, Fisher Clemons, the tight end, just ran straight up
- 52:01Speaker 1: the field and knocked some guys backwards. Can't do that.
- 52:05Speaker 2: It's a great job by Jackson Binney at coming off
- 52:07Speaker 2: of the tight end right there and making the tackle, because.
- 52:10Speaker 3: Sometimes that's extremely hard to see.
- 52:12Speaker 2: But a great call by the ref at seeing that
- 52:14Speaker 2: and making.
- 52:16Speaker 3: A great call.
- 52:16Speaker 1: Deion Sanders looking apoplectic on that sideline over there, walking
- 52:20Speaker 1: up and down. Back it up to the 19-yard line. Yeah,
- 52:26Speaker 1: I want to second down at 17. Let me see
- 52:27Speaker 1: some more pressures.
- 52:28Speaker 3: I'm going to see some more pressures here by our defense.
- 52:34Speaker 3: See Jonah Hall get in the mix, even Blitz, Jackson
- 52:39Speaker 3: Binney a couple times.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Five wide receivers in the pattern this time for Colorado.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Three on the left, two on the right. Wilson stands
- 52:44Speaker 1: by himself in the shotgun. Utah going to rush five
- 52:46Speaker 1: here on Isaac Wilson. They complete that ball to Williams.
- 52:49Speaker 1: He gets up the field, spins out of one tackle,
- 52:51Speaker 1: then another to the 31-yard line goes Joseph Williams. Stopped
- 52:55Speaker 1: about four yards shy of first down yardage. Was that
- 52:58Speaker 1: Joseph Williams or was that Quentin Gibson? Made that play.
- 53:02Speaker 1: Third down and four coming up. The eight and the
- 53:05Speaker 1: six looked very similar on those buff jerseys tonight. My apologies,
- 53:09Speaker 1: Quentin Gibson with a nice pickup. About 13 yards, third
- 53:12Speaker 1: down coming up.
- 53:13Speaker 2: Great job with this defensive tackling.
- 53:17Speaker 3: That was a good play call by them. They had
- 53:19Speaker 3: the numbers. They made that happen. And that was the
- 53:21Speaker 3: big third down that shut them out.
- 53:22Speaker 1: Bucs 0 for 2 on third down tonight. They've got
- 53:24Speaker 1: to get to their own 35 pistol formation here for
- 53:27Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson. Going to throw that ball out into the
- 53:30Speaker 1: flat and incomplete as he tried to squeeze that into Moore.
- 53:33Speaker 1: Wide receiver in the slot. That'll bring up fourth down.
- 53:36Speaker 1: Let's see if they keep the offense out there. Nope,
- 53:37Speaker 1: they'll bring the punt team out.
- 53:39Speaker 3: Which is weird.
- 53:39Speaker 2: I felt like he could have handed that ball off,
- 53:42Speaker 2: but he pulled that and wanted to throw it because
- 53:44Speaker 2: the throw wasn't there.
- 53:45Speaker 1: Well, even if he catches that ball, he's a yard shot.
- 53:47Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but the throw wasn't there. We had that
- 53:50Speaker 3: covered extremely well. I don't know why he pulled that ball.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Damon Graves on the punt here for Colorado. Again, when
- 53:57Speaker 1: you face a desperate team, always beware of the trick play.
- 54:02Speaker 1: Carvalho stands at his own 23 yard line. Graves, the
- 54:07Speaker 1: Aussie punter, going to kick this one straight away, nearly blocked.
- 54:12Speaker 1: Carvalho is going to take it at the Utah sideline
- 54:14Speaker 1: and be submarine immediately at the 24 yard line. He
- 54:17Speaker 1: pops back up again. Excellent special teams play by Ron Dinette.
- 54:22Speaker 1: The safety. Utah will have it first and 10 at
- 54:25Speaker 1: their own 24 when we get back. Our first half
- 54:28Speaker 1: tonight being brought to you by Canyon View Credit Union.

- 54:43Speaker 1: in Folsom Field, this is Utah football. Mutes lead at
- 54:46Speaker 1: 10-0 over the Buffs with 7.07 to play here in
- 54:49Speaker 1: the first half. From ESPN 700, the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 54:53Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Smiths
- 54:56Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 55:01Speaker 1: Tonight's first half from here in Boulder, brought to you
- 55:03Speaker 1: by Bud Light. Easy to drink and easy to enjoy.
- 55:06Speaker 1: Bill Riley, Stevenson, Sylvester. Upstairs, Zach Moss downstairs. Utah with
- 55:12Speaker 1: the football in a 75-yard field in front of them
- 55:14Speaker 1: after the punt from Colorado. When 84 yards last time
- 55:19Speaker 1: it had to settle for a field goal. A couple
- 55:22Speaker 1: of big explosive plays might be nice on this drive.
- 55:24Speaker 3: What do you think? Oh, yeah. Big explosive plays any
- 55:28Speaker 3: time could be nice. But, yeah, there's a few things.
- 55:31Speaker 3: I've got to get back to running the football. Running
- 55:35Speaker 3: the football effectively.
- 55:35Speaker 2: I know Colorado's doing a good job of stuffing things up.
- 55:39Speaker 3: But we need more straight-ahead running here by this offense.
- 55:42Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker will be the tailback on first down and 10.
- 55:45Speaker 1: Three receivers, two left and one right. And a big
- 55:48Speaker 1: old rhino back in the right slot here for the Utes.
- 55:51Speaker 1: Colorado's done a nice job tonight against the run. Utah
- 55:54Speaker 1: with just 57 yards rushing so far on the evening.
- 55:57Speaker 1: Dampier in the shotgun. First down, handoff. Way Sean Parker
- 56:01Speaker 1: busts through a hole but gets back to the line
- 56:03Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And that's it. Again, Colorado selling out to
- 56:05Speaker 1: the run and celebrating. They just won something big. They
- 56:09Speaker 1: won a second down and 10 is what they won
- 56:11Speaker 1: right there. But a good stop by Colorado up front. Again,
- 56:13Speaker 1: Dylan Manuel with a big stop.
- 56:15Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, you know, just how great this
- 56:18Speaker 2: offense has been, and you're getting some stops on defense.
- 56:20Speaker 3: That is definitely something to celebrate. You've got to just
- 56:23Speaker 3: keep going. If you're Utah, something's going to pop.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Empty out the backfield here for Devin Dampier on second
- 56:28Speaker 1: down and 10. 6.35 to play here in the first half,
- 56:31Speaker 1: 10-0 Utah. Devin backpedals, looks, dumps it over the middle.
- 56:36Speaker 1: He's got Noah Benny, who's got first down or close
- 56:39Speaker 1: to first down yardage. He'll be about a half a
- 56:41Speaker 1: yard shy out to about the 34-and-a-half yard line as
- 56:43Speaker 1: he picks up nine on second down. Third down and
- 56:46Speaker 1: about half a yard. Brandon Fontenette has been busy today.
- 56:50Speaker 3: Yes, he has.
- 56:50Speaker 1: At safety and special teams. He's doing everything right now
- 56:53Speaker 1: for Colorado. He made the tackle on that play. Third
- 56:56Speaker 1: down coming up. Utah five out of eight on third down.
- 56:58Speaker 3: Yeah, rhino package in here. Looks like it's Wayshon Parker time.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Let's see if they go back to that wildcat formation
- 57:07Speaker 2: and just go straight ahead running right there.
- 57:09Speaker 1: Colorado's got some big bodies up front right now. Semitao
- 57:12Speaker 1: Longa in the backfield with Dampier and Wayshon Parker. Colorado
- 57:16Speaker 1: sailing out to the run. Here's Wayshon, first down yardage,
- 57:19Speaker 1: spins out of a tackle and all the way up
- 57:20Speaker 1: to the 39-yard line he goes for a pickup of
- 57:23Speaker 1: four and an Ivory Holmes first down, and the drive
- 57:25Speaker 1: stays alive here for Utah. He's now up to 30,
- 57:30Speaker 1: now 40 yards, rushing on the night, Wayshon Parker. Nothing easy, though,
- 57:34Speaker 1: right now in that running game. Colorado's doing a good job.
- 57:36Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing a great job with penetration, slashing into
- 57:39Speaker 2: those gaps and taking on the blockers head-on and creating
- 57:42Speaker 2: stalemates right there.
- 57:44Speaker 3: Colorado's been doing a good job.
- 57:46Speaker 1: First and 10 Utah from their own 39-yard line. Brave
- 57:50Speaker 1: the back of the backfield now as they bring Ricky
- 57:52Speaker 1: Johnson in motion across the formation. Devon's going to keep it,
- 57:55Speaker 1: roll to the outside, look down the field. He's got
- 57:57Speaker 1: Ricky Johnson out.
- 57:58Speaker 7: There, caught, and yes!
- 58:01Speaker 1: He got a foot down at the Colorado 38-yard line.
- 58:04Speaker 1: Ricky Johnson with a big grab.
- 58:06Speaker 3: Great throw because he was not in that route. It
- 58:08Speaker 3: was an out-and-up route. He threw it while he was
- 58:11Speaker 3: on the out, on the up. Great job by Devin
- 58:13Speaker 3: Dampier right there.
- 58:14Speaker 2: If he didn't have the pressure coming, he would have
- 58:16Speaker 2: thrown a more accurate ball, and Ricky Johnson would have
- 58:18Speaker 2: been in the end zone.
- 58:19Speaker 1: Excellent pitch and catch that time. All the way to
- 58:21Speaker 1: the Colorado 38-yard line for 23 yards. First down, handoff.
- 58:26Speaker 1: Now a throw in the flat to the tight end.
- 58:28Speaker 1: Is that Benny again? It is. Noah Benny down to
- 58:31Speaker 1: the 35 for a three-yard gain. Lots of Colorado Buffaloes
- 58:35Speaker 1: flying and jumping all over that pile as Noah Benny
- 58:38Speaker 1: goes down after three.
- 58:42Speaker 2: Taking what you can get. Colorado's getting desperate right now.
- 58:45Speaker 2: They're causing a lot of pressure. They're bringing a lot
- 58:48Speaker 2: of heat off of the edge, which is making Devin
- 58:50Speaker 2: Dampier get the ball out quickly, and McGibbon.
- 58:52Speaker 3: Has to see that.
- 58:53Speaker 2: That's the type of play calling that he needs to
- 58:56Speaker 2: be calling here, the one-step drops, the three-step drops, stuff
- 58:59Speaker 2: to get the ball out of Devin's hands quickly because.
- 59:01Speaker 3: They're bringing heat.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Second down and seven here for Utah. They move two
- 59:05Speaker 1: tight ends to the right-hand side. Wayshon Parker in the
- 59:08Speaker 1: backfield with Dan Peer. Hand off Wayshon, through a hole,
- 59:12Speaker 1: stays on his feet, spins out of a tackle, still
- 59:14Speaker 1: going 25 and down to the 23 of the Colorado Buffaloes.
- 59:19Speaker 1: Excellent run on the play. 12-yard gain, Wayshon Parker in
- 59:24Speaker 1: another first down. That last play was Utah's 100th chunk
- 59:31Speaker 1: play of the year. They've got eight of them tonight.
- 59:36Speaker 3: I like chunk plays.
- 59:37Speaker 1: I like chunk plays, too. Chunk plays are fun.
- 59:39Speaker 3: Keep it chunky, baby. I like it.
- 59:41Speaker 1: From just outside the red zone, 22-yard line, first and 10,
- 59:45Speaker 1: Utah on the move. 3.30 to play here in the
- 59:47Speaker 1: first half, 10-0 Utes. Two tights and two wides. Way
- 59:53Speaker 1: Sean Parker. Devon's going to keep it himself.
- 59:56Speaker 3: Pitch to the outside. He's got a man. 15, 10, 5.
- 59:59Speaker 3: Diving to the pylon. Hunter Andrews.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: And he's out of bounds at the Colorado one-yard line. Oh,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Hunter turned on the Jets. Nearly got in. And it's
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: a big gain of 21 yards to the one-yard line.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: First and goal, Utah.
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: Oh, that's one of those unique formations and crazy.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: Look how Devon had to go so far into the
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: line of scrimmage before he pitched that ball.
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: And Hunter Andrews having a terrific first quarter.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: Third trip into the Canyon View Credit Union red zone
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: tonight for Utah. First and goal at the Colorado 1
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: yard line. 2.54 and clock running to play here in
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: the first half. Parker the back, all by himself. Follows
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: his blockers to the left, cuts to the inside, and
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: he is dropped behind the line of scrimmage. He's going
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: to lose a yard, maybe two. They're going to mark
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: him down back at the 3 yard line. Colorado again
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: selling out to that run. Dropped way Sean Parker for
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: a 2 yard loss.
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: Number four in the defense helmet came off. He must
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: leave the game for one play. He spent 40 seconds
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: on the play clock.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: That was a wildcat formation right there, and the outside
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: looked open, so I understand why he bounced it, but
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: that's where you've got to keep.
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: It up and tight, especially around the goal line here.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: But good job by Colorado.
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: Again, you're doing exactly what you need to do on
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball at stocking up and
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: making sure you cut off the north and south track
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: of the running back.
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: Second down and goal from the three-yard line. Parker in
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: the backfield with Dampierre. Three receivers spread across the formation.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: They bring one in motion. Devon, hop pass to the inside,
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: not going anywhere. And now a fumble. Who's got it?
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Colorado's got it. That's got to be an incomplete pass
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: unless it was an interception. Unless it was an interception,
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: that should have been an incomplete pass. We'll see.
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: Pass was intercepted by the defense. First down, Colorado.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: Inside it wins.
- 1:01:48Speaker 6: Timeout.
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: And there it was.
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: Oh, so he didn't even get to Nola Benny there.
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: Nope.
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: He took it right out of the air.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: Big number 99 came away with the football, and Utah
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: tried to get tricky down near the goal line with
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: a little shovel pass, and it was intercepted by Colorado
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: to stop Utah's drive with 2 minutes and 13 seconds
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: to play before halftime. We've got a timeout on the field.
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: Oh, it ricocheted.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: It took a deflection off Nola Benny.
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: It ricocheted back. Good tackle by Devin.
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: Dylan Manuel, great play right there.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Timeout on the field. We'll come back. Colorado football trailing 10-0.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
- 1:02:30Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
- 1:02:34Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: There's two minutes to play here in the first half.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Colorado's got it after the Utah turnover at their own
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: 14-yard line. How about these for second quarter numbers, Slider?
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: 112 yards for Utah, 24 for Colorado. 71 through the air,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: 41 on the ground for Utah, 12 and 12 for Colorado.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: Utah has run 21 plays in this quarter, and they
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: have three points to show for it. They have absolutely
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: dominated the stat sheet, but they don't have it on
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: the scoreboard right now.
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they've got to wake up, and hopefully that's
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: the message here at halftime is to wake up here
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: in that second half, and we.
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: Come out with a second-half explosion. This isn't a good showing, right?
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: You know, all the things that happen around college football
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: to set us up right for success, and we come
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: out here and not show well. As far as points,
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: I mean, we are moving the football, but we do
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: look a little shell-shocked on offense.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: And getting an end zone.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: Well, Colorado doesn't have anything to show for this first
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: half so far on the scoreboard, but Utah feels like
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: it probably should have a lot more than just 10
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: points up there. Second down and three for the Buffs
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: out of the two-minute timeout from their own 14-yard line.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: Utah has all three timeouts remaining. If they could get
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: a stop here, they might be able to get the
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: football back before halftime. Remember, Colorado will get the football
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: to begin the second half as they won the toss
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: and elected to defer. Smith the tailback and the pistol
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: behind Isaac Wilson. Two tight ends. They bring a wide
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: receiver in motion and a flag flies, and this is
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: going to help Utah. The tight end on the right
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: side moved early.
- 1:04:09Speaker 4: Ball starts. Number 87 offense. 5 yard penalty. Still 2nd down.
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Charlie Williams got an early start for Colorado. Back him
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: up 5 yards. So 2nd and 3 becomes 2nd down
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: and 8. And no time goes off the clock. So
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: that helps Utah.
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great. Moving back.
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: Getting 2nd down and 8 here. That may get a
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: little harder for Isaac Wilson to convert.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: Pistol formation again. Nope, they're going to move the back
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: just to the left side of Isaac Wilson. That's Jaquil Smith.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Two tights and two wides again. Moore comes in motion.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: Play action pass. They throw it. Complete to Joseph Williams
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: out beyond the 20 to the 22-yard line. That'll be
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: a first down for Colorado. That was easy. A three-step drop,
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: and he hit him in stride.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good throw by Isaac Wilson, but
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: it was a little soft coverage on the outside by Utah.
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: Now Colorado's going to go with some tempo with a
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: minute 49 to play. Another throw to the outside and
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: incomplete as he skipped that to Joseph Williams. Covers were
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: pretty good on the outside by Rock Caldwell that time.
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: It goes incomplete, second down and 10.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a lot better coverage as far as
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: being tighter to the guy as far as he pulling it.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: They're just running these RPOs on whether to hand it
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: off or throw it. I guarantee Isaac Wilson wants to
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: throw it more than he wants to hand the ball off.
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: He's got 44 yards passing, 5 of 8 passing here
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: in the first half. 62 total yards for Colorado. Yardage
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: update brought to you by CR England. Smith stays in
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: at tailback here. As Wilson backs up into the shotgun.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Two receivers left, two receivers right here for the Buffs.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Second down and 10 from their own 22-yard lines. Wilson
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: to pass again to the outside, complete to Williams. And
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: he gets out of bounds. About four yards shy of
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: first down yardage at about the 28-yard line. They're going
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: to mark it at 27. Third down and five coming up.
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: That does help Utah, him getting out of bounds with
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: a minute 39 to play. Now Utah's defense needs to
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: make a stop. Colorado's 0 for 3 on third down today.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: Yeah, he's really looking for Williams, and so Utah's got
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: to key in on that, and hopefully we can get
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: ourselves an interception based off of that.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: Third down and five as Wilson backs up into the
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: gun again. Utah, will they show pressure? And a timeout
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: taken by Deion Sanders.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: Timeout.
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: Colorado, their first of the half. It will be 30 seconds.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: It's hard to get pressure on Wilson on these drops
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: because it's a quick drop out of the shotgun. He's
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: getting rid of it so quickly.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the RPO game. It's just you want
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: to get it out of your hands quickly. Exactly what
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: you're doing with Colorado when they're on defense.
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: They're blitzing.
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: They're trying to get to the quarterback, Devin Nepier, really quickly.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: So you've got to drop those quick plays. But Isaac Wilson,
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: they're just getting the ball out of his hands really
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: quickly and not allowing the defense to make plays on it.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Utah needs a stop here. As I mentioned, Colorado 0
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: for 3 on third down tonight. They face a third
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: down and 5 from their own 27-yard line. Smith the tailback.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: Wilson deploys three receivers left at a tight end to
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: the right-hand side. Utah with four down linemen, three linebackers
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: near the line of scrimmage. Wide receiver comes in motion.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: Wilson drops to pass. Lots of time down the field.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: Incomplete.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: Scooby Davis. And now flags fly in. They're going to
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: get pass interference here on Scooby Davis.
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: I don't agree with that. I don't know. Maybe he
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: touched him. I'm going to see the replay here.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: But I thought that was tight coverage on the backside.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: Isaac Wilson coming back across the formation.
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I would need to see if he grabbed him.
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: Pass interference. Number nine, defense. The ball will be placed
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: at the spot of the foul. Automatic first down.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: So the ball moves out to the 41 yard line.
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: It was a 14 yard penalty and a first down
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: given to Colorado now with a minute 33 to play
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: before halftime. Isaac Wilson in the shotgun. Utah now pressing
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: up at the line of scrimmage. Wilson hands off to
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: Smith the tailback who gets it out to about the
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: 44 yard line. The clock will continue to run with
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: a minute 25 and a minute 24 to play. Now
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: they're going to go quickly. Wilson calls to play at
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Four wide receivers in the pattern
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: on second down and seven. Isaac Wilson backpedals, looks, fires
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: over the middle, and is it intercepted?
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: It is.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: It's intercepted.
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: That's Rabbit Evans.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: They were trying to get that ball into Charlie Williams.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: It's intercepted by Rabbit Evans, and Utah's got the football back.
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: Rabbit Evans wrestled it away from him. I think he
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: caught it, and Rabbit.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: Evans just was there simultaneously and pulled it down.
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: Towards him.
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: Result of the play is an interception. Yes, he did.
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: I thought they were going to call him down before
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: Rabbit wrestled it away, but the receiver landed on top
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: of Rabbit. Great job by Rabbit Evans at being opportunistic,
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: getting his hands in there at the right time. and
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: pulling that way for.
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: Our first turnover.
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson turns it over with the interception with a
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: minute seven to play. Utah gets it back first and
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: ten at their own 42-yard line. A huge play by
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: the Utah defense. After Utah gave it away at the
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: four-yard line, the defense takes it right back at plenty
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: of time here. Utah's got all three timeouts remaining. They'll
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: probably need about, we'll call it about 20 to 22
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: yards to get in field goal range for Dylan Curtis.
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker in the backfield with Devin Dampier. Deion Sanders
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: trying to argue his case on the other side, but
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: the receiver was not down. Rabbit Evans was the one
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: on the ground with his arms around the football.
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: Outstanding play.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: He's trying to delay to see if they can review
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: it in the booth.
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: That's what he's trying to do. He's all the way
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: out on the field.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: To no avail for Deion Sanders, first and ten Utah.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: Devin Dampier backs up in the shotgun. Four receivers in
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: the pattern. From the Utah 42-yard line, Colorado showing pressure.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Here they come. Over the middle, caught by the tight end, Benny.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: He's got the 50. He's got the 45 of Colorado,
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: and down he goes. After a gain on the play
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: of 14 yards and a Ivory Holmes first down, Noah
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: Benny picks up the first down for Utah. Now they'll
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: go quickly. With one minute to play, they spot the
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: ball and wind the clock. First and 10 Utes for
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: the Colorado 45. Here comes pressure again. They pick up
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: the pressure. Devin down the field, caught by Pagan. He
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: spins away from one. And down he goes at the
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: 29-yard line. There's a flag down behind the play. I
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: think this might have been a late hit on Colorado.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a roughing the passer of some sort. I
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: think they led with the hit when he was trying
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: to hit that.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: And Devin was pointing at his helmet and his head.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: Let's see what the referee says here. Kevin Boydman's our referee.
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: Yeah, they went helmet to helmet. It's kind of that
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: same play we saw in the BYU game.
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: Personal foul. Roughing the passer. High contact. Defense. 15-yard penalty.
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: First down.
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: So it will go from the 29-yard line.
- 1:11:21Speaker 4: The foul is on number 44.
- 1:11:22Speaker 8: 44.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: It's on Gideon Lambert, the linebacker.
- 1:11:25Speaker 4: The penalty will be enforced half the distance. First down.
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: My thing is, I don't know, are they going to
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: review that for targeting?
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: Because it was the same thing that we saw with
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: the Bear Bachmeier and BYU game at the start of that.
- 1:11:38Speaker 5: Yep.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: They are not. The ball's going to be marked just
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: inside the 15-yard line. Fourth trip now into the Canyon
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: View Credit Union red zone tonight for Utah. Can they
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: pay this one off with a touchdown? 44 seconds to
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: play all three timeouts for the Utes. Devin Dampier backpedals.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Blitz coming. Steps into the pocket, and he's going to
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: escape and go down. That'll be a sack back at
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: the 17-yard line and a timeout taken by Utah. We've
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: got a Utah player down. An offensive lineman down.
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: Is that Alex Harrison?
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: That's the center, Alex Harrison. And he is holding his
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: left leg.
- 1:12:14Speaker 4: Utah, their first of the half. It will be 30 seconds.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: He is pounding his left leg. He's helped to his
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: feet by his teammates. Let's see if Alex can walk
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: off the field under his own power here. He is
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: so very important to what Utah does. The backup center
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: is Isaiah Kema, transfer from Ohio State. Good news is
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: Alex Harrison's walking under his own power. He's got a
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: little bit of a limp right here. But Kemba's going
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: to have to come into the ballgame and snap here
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: for the Utes. We'll see what happens right here as
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: he will step in for Alex Harrison, the young man.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: Transferred from Ohio State, began his career at Oklahoma State. Utah,
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: second down and 12, back at the 17-yard line. So
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: Ballack's Harrison's okay. Colorado with a late sub onto the
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: field here. Devin Dampier, Wayshon Parker in the shotgun. Four
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: receivers in the pattern for the Colorado 7 team. Devon
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: drops the pass, pressure coming again, throwing the fade up
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: to the corner, looking for Ricky Johnson, incomplete, he nearly
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: came down with it.
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: Oh, I thought that was going to be a one-handed smash.
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Oh, goodness gracious, nearly brought down by Ricky Johnson. Good
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: coverage on the play out there by Boo Carter, it'll
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: bring up third down and long here for Utah.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: Great slot fade right there, I honestly think if he
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: would have turned to the outside and tried to catch
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: it over his head.
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: He probably could have made this if he tried to
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: catch it over his head.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: So close.
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: Yeah, so close. But we'll get another shot at it.
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: Utah six out of nine on third down tonight. They've
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: got to get to the Colorado five. Still two timeouts
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: and 25 seconds to play before halftime. Colorado showing pressure again.
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: Here they come. Devin looking to throw into the flat.
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: He's got Wayshon Parker. Wayshon hurdles a man and down
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: to the 11-yard line he goes. And that's going to
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: bring up fourth down. He's about six yards shy. And
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: the field goal team will come out here for Utah
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: as they let the clock tick down. To five seconds,
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: four seconds. And Morgan Scali will take the timeout with
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: two seconds.
- 1:14:32Speaker 4: Timeout, Utah. Their second of the half will be 30 seconds.
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he had Creed Whittemore wide open on
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: the wheel on the outside, up top.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: That's twice tonight he's missed Creed in the red zone.
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: So a field goal attempt coming here for Dylan Curtis,
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: trying to put Utah up 13-0, heading to the locker room.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: We'll hear from Warden Scali and Zach Moss downstairs in
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: just a few minutes.
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: Man, those helmets are sweet, aren't they?
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: They look great. Wayshawn Parker seems to be okay after
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: attempting to hurdle Boo Carter at about the 11-yard line.
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: Let's see if Dylan Curtis can knock this one through
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: and put Utah up by 13 points. It'll like what
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: Utah's defense has done here in the first half, giving
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: up just 70 total yards. Offense has been a little
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: stagnant in the red zone tonight. Turnovers haven't helped either.
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: This will be a 29-yard attempt from just inside the
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: right hash for Dylan Curtis. It's only missed once this year.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: Kick is up, and the kick is good, and that
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: will take us to halftime here at Folsom Field. Our
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: score here at the half, Utah 13-1. Colorado nothing. Wait
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: on Zach Moss downstairs as he has a word with
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: Morgan Scali here momentarily. That scoring drive after the turnover.
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: Six plays, 47 yards, and took a minute and seven
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: seconds off the clock. Let's go downstairs. Go ahead, Zach.
- 1:16:06Speaker 6: Coach, your defense has been really spectacular in this first half,
- 1:16:09Speaker 6: holding the Colorado team to zero points.
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: What's been so impressive about that defense so far? Well,
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: we knew they were going to be active up front.
- 1:16:17Speaker 8: I mean, they came in leading the league in TFLs,
- 1:16:21Speaker 8: very active up front. We're doing a good job moving
- 1:16:24Speaker 8: the ball. We just got to score in the red zone,
- 1:16:26Speaker 8: score touchdowns in the red zone.
- 1:16:29Speaker 6: We've held them scoreless, right? Not being able to move
- 1:16:31Speaker 6: the ball really well. What's our defense doing so good
- 1:16:33Speaker 6: on that side of the ball? Well, taking the ball
- 1:16:35Speaker 6: away was huge, right? Really good at recognizing... Man.
- 1:16:39Speaker 8: Coverage beaters, communicating, switching it off. They're doing a really
- 1:16:43Speaker 8: good job of communication right now.
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: Morgan, Zach, thank you. That sideline update brought to you
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: by Ken Garf. We hear you. It's halftime here at
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: Folsom Field. Utah 13 and Colorado nothing. Those TFLs, 5-0
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: in favor of Colorado. Turnover battle is now even, and
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: Utah leads by 13. We'll come back with the America
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: First Credit Union halftime show next. This is Utah football
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 1:17:09Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Bamboo
- 1:17:13Speaker 5: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: Back in Boulder, Colorado, the America First Credit Union halftime
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: show continues on. Bill Riley, Stevenson Sylvester will check in
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: with Zach Moss downstairs in a few.
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: 13-0 Utah.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: As we begin the second half, what would you like
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: to see change in this second 30 minutes of football?
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: Utah's been in control here, but the margins should probably
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: be a little bit bigger, Sly. So how do they
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: make things a little bit better, Sly, in the second half?
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: How do they extend this lead and be better in
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: the second half?
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: Just scoring their own. I mean, they've got to be
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: more efficient in scoring. again, you've got to instill that
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: running game, right? I know Colorado's doing a good job
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: of that quick penetration, but you can't go away from that.
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: That's what we've seen.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: We've seen Utah kind of go away from that, and
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: they get a little stale in the passing game. But
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: for me, it's get that running game more established. I
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: think you've got to get Wayshon Parker more involved. That
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: opens everything else up in the pass game from the
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: play action, the bootlegs, and the deep throw game to
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: take those big chunk plays. But getting in the end
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: zone is ultimate. Our red zone efficiency can't be settled
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: in for field goals anymore.
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker, 51 yards in the first half. His
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: long run, 14 yards. We'll see if they can get
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: him loose and bust one of those big ones. We've
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: been so accustomed to see him breaking this year. The
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: third member of our broadcast team is downstairs on the sideline,
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: part of our Ken Gardner team. sideline update, Zach Moss. Zach,
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: what was the message at halftime to this Utah football team?
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: What are you expecting to see for this Utah football
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: team in the second half? We'll get back down to
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: Zach in just a couple of minutes. Our second half
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: is going to be brought to you by University of
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: Utah Health. Get the St. Greg Care, the Utes Trust.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: Visit uofuhealth.org slash Utes. Colorado is going to get the
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: football to begin things here in the second half. And
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: we'll see if Isaac Wilson can get anything going. The
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: former Utah quarterback with 6 of 10 in the first half,
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: 49 yards, and the interception. Utah really never had a
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: chance to get a lot of pressure on him. Everything
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: was quick three-step drops out of the shotgun, right, Cy?
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, and that was game plan.
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: They noticed that when Isaac Wilson takes that five step drops,
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: the pressure was just allowing.
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: Him to throw the ball to the other team too much.
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: So here the defense doesn't have time to react when
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: you get the ball out that quickly. And so I
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: think that is game plan from the Colorado staff to
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: do these one step, three step drops to get the
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: ball out of his hands quickly.
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: Get to his receivers. That's why you don't see any plays.
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: I didn't see any throws really downfield.
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: The only downfield throw that they took was an interception
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: by Rabbit Evans. So I think it's game plan day
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: to not have Isaac Wilson hold the football tonight.
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: A little bit of good news. Just saw Alex Harrison
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: run out onto the field, onto the Utah sideline in
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: his pads with his helmet, stretching his leg out. He
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: got hurt late in the first half, had to come
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: out of the ball game. So having Big Al kind
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: of the quarterback of that offensive linebacker will be big.
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and again, we've got to instill that running game,
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: and having a great center, as you said, the quarterback
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: of the offensive line there is exactly what we need.
- 1:20:28Speaker 3: So Big Al coming back is huge.
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: So Colorado will get the ball to begin things here
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: in the second half. They trail 13-0. Next week, Utah
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: will host the Houston Cougars, the nationally ranked Houston Cougars,
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: who came into the day ranked 20th and protected their
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: home field today against the 18th ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys.
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: We don't have a kick time yet, but assuming Utah
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: wins this game tonight, my guess is we're going to
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: have a pretty good time slot next week for that
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: Houston visit to Salt Lake City.
- 1:20:59Speaker 3: Well, you don't want to get out of state at
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: mid-2 a.m.
- 1:21:01Speaker 4: Anymore?
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: I do not. I do not.
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be.
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: That should be one of the most primetime games next
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: week as far as matchups is Utah versus Houston.
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: Quentin Gibson back deep to receive the Utah kickoff. Dylan
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: Curtis has been good tonight on his kicks and on
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: his field goals and PATs. Let's see what he can
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: do right here. 13-0 Utah. 30 minutes of football down,
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: 30 minutes to go on this Saturday night. Thank you
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: for joining us wherever you may be. Maybe settled in
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: tonight in the comfort of your own home, listening in.
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: Wrapped up in one of those great minky blankets tonight.
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: Or perhaps, for those of you making your way home
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: from Provo tonight, thank you for making us part of
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: your day. You're probably very happy tonight. As BYU got
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: the upset win tonight at home over Notre Dame. 10-0,
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: they make it 13-0 Utah. As we begin the second half,
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis has it teed up and ready to go
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: at his own 35-yard line. Puts his right foot into it,
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: drives it north to south here at Folsom Field. And
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: out of the back of the end zone it goes.
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson will bring out the Bucs. First and 10
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: at their own 25-yard line.
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: And defense guys do exactly what they're doing in the
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: first half. Get Isaac Wilson and his offense off the field, right?
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: Quick three and outs. Turnovers are always great. That always
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: helps out. You know, score on defense. You know, we're
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: unable to score points on offense. You score on defense,
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: increase your score. But getting this offense off the field
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: quickly in the second half is exactly what we need.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: Three receivers set to the left-hand side here for Isaac Wilson,
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: who pats his helmet to change the play. Smith to tailback.
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: Moore comes in motion. First and ten, handoff to Smith,
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: and he is wrapped up at the line of scrimmage
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: by Paul Fitzgerald after a one-yard gain. Second down and
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: nine coming up.
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: Yeah, great job by Jai Moe in that defensive front
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: right there.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: It's still made in the offensive line, only getting one yard.
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: Exactly what you want to do is, is make sure
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: that running game is ineffective so Isaac Wilson is forced
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: to throw the ball, and hopefully to us.
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: Colorado taking their time, breaking the huddle here, 15 on
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: the play clock. Second down and nine from the Colorado
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: 26-yard line. Trips receivers to the left-hand side, single receiver
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: to the right-hand side, tailback in the backfield is Quentin Gibson.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: Now they motion Gibson out of the backfield. Isaac Wilson's
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: going to throw. Pumped once. Now he's going to try
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: and carry it himself up the field. Isaac throwing the
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: ball in the flat. He's got a wide open receiver.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: He's wrapped up and taken down at about the 32-yard line.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: Was that behind the line of scrimmage?
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: I am not sure if it was. They say no flags.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: So third down and two coming up. They get third
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: down and three as he got that ball out to
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: Gibson all by himself on that far sideline.
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: The entire offensive line was like six yards down.
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: So that's what I'm wondering. But here nor there, it's
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: third down. So another quick three and out would be great.
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: It's a big third down stop.
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: Here for Utah.
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: Buffs 0 for three on third down. They face a
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: third down and three from their own 32-yard line. Two
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: backs in the backfield, one a tight end. Charlie Williams.
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: Now they're going to check with the sideline. Isaac Wilson
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: has his play. Now they snap it back to Smith
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: and Wilson. Looking down the field, being chased, and throws
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: it complete. He's got a man wide open up the sideline.
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: That one might be a house call. 35-30. 25-20 back
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: to the inside. 15-10-5 touchdown. Jaquil Smith. 68 yards and
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: a Colorado touchdown. Put a flag on the play. There
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: is a flag on the play. This one may be
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: coming back. There is a flag on the play at
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: the 50-yard line. Let's see what it is.
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: Holding number 11 defense. The penalty is declined. The result
- 1:24:47Speaker 4: of the play is a touchdown.
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: It will not be coming back. That hold on Elijah Reed,
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: the touchdown stand, 68 yards to a man that had
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: nobody in the same area code, Jaquil Smith.
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: And that's hard. That's just the broken play, right? That's
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: backyard football, essentially what happens there. Jaquil Smith was in
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: the backfield blocking. Isaac Wilson goes left, comes back right.
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: Whoever had him in coverage was trying to probably chase
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: Isaac Wilson, and that's just what happens in man coverage.
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: The PAT is up, and the PAT is good. It's 13-7.
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: If Utah thought they were going to come to Boulder, Colorado,
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: and just walk to a win, well, they find themselves
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: up just six points here early in the third quarter.
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: And we've got a timeout on the field. We'll come back.
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: It'll be Utah football when we get back, but the
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: Buffs are making this one a ball game. 13-20 to
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: play in the third quarter. Utah 13 and Colorado 7.
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
- 1:25:51Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: Second half of Utah football here in Boulder tonight being
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: brought to you by University of Utah Health Trusted Healthcare
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: Provider for the Utes family and yours. Visit them online
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: at uofuhealth.org slash Utes. That last scoring drive, three plays,
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: 75 yards, a minute 40 off the game clock. A
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: broken play, a backyard football play, call it whatever you want.
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: It's 68 yards up the sideline. Nobody was in the
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: vicinity of Jaquil Smith, and he made two guys miss
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: inside the 20 and went in for a touchdown. And
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the game that Utah was in
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: control of, they're no longer in control of. It's a
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: one-score game.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: Yeah, speed is speed, and Jaquil Smith in the open
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: space is very hard to catch.
- 1:26:34Speaker 3: But, yeah, that just can't happen. That means you've got
- 1:26:36Speaker 3: to get to Isaac Wilson faster.
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: He cannot just have time to just run around like
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: that and make those backyard-type plays. That was just a
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: mistake on the defense. It's hard to be mad at
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: it because you understand what's going on, but you've got
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: to understand the rules when the quarterback is scrambling around.
- 1:26:52Speaker 3: Plaster to your man.
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: And there was no man anywhere near Jaquil Smith. Half-second more,
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: Rabbit Evans has a sack, but Isaac Wilson got rid
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: of it, and Smith, all by himself up the sideline,
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: went 68 yards. Here's the kickoff by Colorado, high and
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: end over ends. And Daniel Bray is going to take it,
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: and he's going to bring it out. Two yards deep
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: in the end zone. Daniel Bray trying to get to
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: that far sideline. He's got the 25. He is down
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: at the 26-yard line. Excellent return by Bray. I'm surprised
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: he brought that out. One more tackle, and he's up
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: that sideline. And Utah gets a plus one on that
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: return and starts first and ten at their own 26-yard line.
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I am surprised he brought that out. With it
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: being the left return, he's got to bring it all
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: the way to the other side of the field.
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: Normally, you want to just fair catch that and get
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: the ball to the 25.
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: But he was one broken tackle away from taking that
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: all the way.
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: Utah scored a touchdown on their opening drive. They don't
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: have one since then. Just two field goals and a
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: turnover inside the 10-yard line. First and ten for Devin Dampier.
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: He lines Wayshon Parker in the backfield with him. Colorado
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: crowds the line of scrimmage. They're lined up against the run.
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: Hunter Andrews comes into the backfield. They hand that ball.
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: Devin Dampier's going to keep it himself, and there goes
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: a flag, and that one's going to come back. That's
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: going to be a hold on Utah after a six-yard
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: gain by Devin Dampier. Here's the call.
- 1:28:18Speaker 4: Holding, number 73, offense, 10-yard penalty, replay first down.
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: Right tackle Cedric Jefferson called for the hold, so instead
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: of a six-yard gain, back him up 10 yards, first
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: down and 20 coming up here for Utah.
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: Yeah, negative plays to start a drive always suck, so
- 1:28:36Speaker 3: Utah's got to pull themselves out of this and wake
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: up here. get down the field.
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: Just the second penalty denied on Utah. Two penalties, 19 yards,
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: 8 for 82 on Colorado. First down and 20. Dampier's
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: got a pass roll to his right. Looking down the field,
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: looking down the field, throwing down the field.
- 1:28:53Speaker 4: Caught.
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: Ooh, and thrown out of bounds. Is that a catch?
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: Did he get a foot down?
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: No, he didn't.
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: He did not. And a lot of chirping going on
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: down below by the Colorado defensive back. Braden Pagan went high,
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: caught the ball, but he couldn't get a foot down.
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: Incomplete to go. Second down and 20.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: It's a great catch by Cree Whittemore, but unable to
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: get his foot down here. Great defense. Because the defense
- 1:29:17Speaker 3: is there to push him out of bounds. If he's
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: not there, Cree probably gets a foot down.
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: Second down and 20 now. Way Sean Parker's going to
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: motion out of the backfield. Colorado's been coming after Devin Dampier.
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: Will they do it again right here? Yes, they will.
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: Here they come. Devin looking, firing to the outside. He's
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: got a complete peg and picks up a few yards,
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: but not many. Colorado all sorts of fired up. R.J.
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: Johnson made the tackle. He's going to move the ball
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: out to about the 22-yard line. Third down and about
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: 15 coming up here for Utah.
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: Picked up about four yards right there. He wasn't under pressure.
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: They had that blocked up really well. I'm surprised he
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: threw that so fast.
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: Utah six out of ten on third down, but this
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: one is a third down and extremely long. And the
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: Colorado defense playing really well right now. A little more
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: motions out of the backfield as Devon surveys the defense.
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: He drops to pass, looking, throwing down the field, looking
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: for Ricky Johnson, broken up incomplete. Coverage by Cree Thomas.
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: And the penalty absolutely kills Utah on first down, and
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: the punt team's got to come out. Guess who's got
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: momentum completely on their side right now?
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: Oh, Colorado does, and on that play right here, I
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: just don't understand why you don't.
- 1:30:34Speaker 4: Utah is changing jerseys for the punt formation.
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: Go to your money, man.
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: Brayden Pagan was wide open on the dig route right there.
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: Very weird that he went against that.
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: Sort of felt like Devin made up his mind to
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: go to Ricky Johnson the whole way. Here's the Orion
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: Phillips punt. It's a wobbly punt. It's going to be
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: taken at about the 35-yard line. That's by Taylor. He's
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: across the 50 and down to the Utah 46-yard line.
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: Two flags have been flown on this play. I believe
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: they're both going to be on Colorado. And that great
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: return by Declan Taylor is going to be for not
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: here as he's likely to go against the home team.
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: Yeah, this defense has got to wake up too.
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: They've got to understand that big explosive play for the
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: touchdown can't happen against them, and so they need to
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: make up for that.
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: That's how I took it.
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: You know, what I played was, you know, we make
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: a mistake like that, we've got to make up for that.
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: So they score on us.
- 1:31:29Speaker 3: Essentially, we've got to get a turnover to get the
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: ball back to our offense.
- 1:31:34Speaker 4: There are two fouls during the return, both on a
- 1:31:37Speaker 4: return team.
- 1:31:39Speaker 5: Holding.
- 1:31:39Speaker 4: Number 36, that penalty is declined. Illegal block in the back,
- 1:31:45Speaker 4: number 32. That penalty is enforced 10 yards from the
- 1:31:48Speaker 4: spot of the foul. First down, Utah. Correction, first down, Colorado.
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: They get Miles Weston for that penalty. And this one's
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: going to take it all the way back to the
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: 24-yard line, and that's where Colorado will begin first and 10.
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: So Utah the beneficiary of that penalty. Colorado's been penalized
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: nine times tonight. Nine times the Buffs have been penalized tonight.
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: They'll have it first and ten with a 76-yard field
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: down just six points and plenty of time to play here. 11.51
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: to play in the third quarter. Tailback is Jaquil Smith.
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: He scored the 68-yard touchdown on the backyard football play
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: a few moments ago. Isaac Wilson, pistol formation. Utah crowds
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Wilson's going to throw the ball
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: down the field. It's caught. At about the 39-yard line.
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: Hakeem Williams made the grab at a 15-yard gain, but
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: a flag down behind it, and Isaac Wilson saying that's
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: on Utah. Let's see. Wilson's pointing against Utah. Everybody on
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: Colorado pointing against Utah.
- 1:32:58Speaker 4: Personal foul. Hands to the face. Number seven defense. 15-yard penalty.
- 1:33:03Speaker 4: Automatic first down.
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: That's kind of funny.
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: John O'Hall.
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: I saw him do it, but he was spilling. He
- 1:33:09Speaker 3: used his shoulder. I didn't see any hands to the face.
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: Must have been a different player. I didn't see that.
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: So tack 15 on to the end of the play,
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: and now Colorado's in Utah territory at the Utah 46-yard line.
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: This has been a disastrous second half for Utah so far.
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: And it just started. First and ten.
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: Four minutes gone by. play action nope a handoff to
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: the tailback he's got running room inside the 40 down
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: to the Utah 38 yard line that was Jaquil Smith
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: who's had a big second half here for Colorado that's
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: a gain of nine on first.
- 1:33:45Speaker 3: Down but this shows you just how much.
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: Momentum matters Isaac Wilson feeling good about himself right now.
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: Out of the pistol formation. Utah crowding the line of scrimmage.
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: They give it to Smith again. He breaks through. That's
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: first down yardage. Inside the 35. Pushes the pile to
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: the 33-yard line for a gain of five and a
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: first down for Colorado. Sly, what's going on?
- 1:34:10Speaker 3: They just got to wake up. It's that simple.
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: From the backyard football play to even that long catch
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: and that penalty. It's just unfortunate events, but they're just
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: letting it continue to happen and pile on.
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: First down and 10, Colorado from the Utah 33-yard line.
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: Play action for Isaac Wilson. Pressure in his face. Down
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: the field he goes. It's caught. Joseph Williams comes up
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: with it inside the 20 to the Utah 18-yard line
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: for a gain of 15.
- 1:34:41Speaker 3: Don't want to give him confidence.
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: They are slicing and dicing right now on this Utah defense.
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: First and 10, Colorado. They're in the red zone at
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: the Utah 18.
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: Yeah, they are willing to deal with it right now.
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: Isaac Wilson, as we know, can throw the ball, but
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: we have not put pressure on him. He hasn't felt
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: the pressure.
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: Colorado has allowed Isaac to kind of live on his own.
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: The clock's winding down here.
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: Colorado may have to use a timeout to play clocks
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: at five. Now at four, pistol formation, nobody set just yet.
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: He takes the snap. And what do we have? A
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: timeout taken by Colorado and Deion Sanders.
- 1:35:21Speaker 4: Before the snap, timeout. Colorado, their first of the half.
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: Let's see if it's a full timeout or a 30-second timeout.
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: I think they're going to go 30-second timeout. We haven't
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: seen the Red Hat come out on the field. It's
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: going to be a 30-second timeout. so we're going to
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: keep it right here. 9.52 to play in the third quarter.
- 1:35:39Speaker 4: The timeout will be 30 seconds.
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: Colorado scored a touchdown on their opening drive on a
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: 68-yard pitch and catch up the sideline, and now they've
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: moved the ball all the way to the Utah 18-yard line.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: They've got it first down and 10.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: Yeah, they're letting previous plays beat them right now, and
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: Colorado just has all the momentum, as you said, and
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: they're cooking with gas right now, and They got athletes too, right?
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: And so everything, luck, whatever you want to call it,
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: it's on their side right now. Utah needs to wake up, start.
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: Knocking out these plays.
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: It's nothing that they can't handle, but they can't just
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: let these bad plays continue to pile off.
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: Utah football brought to you by Smith's, fresh for everyone.
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: Out of the timeout, Colorado's got two remaining. Numbers have
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: now evened out. Colorado hit 70 yards in the first half,
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: up to 188 now in the ballgame. Two backs to
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: the backfield. Henderson and Taylor. Offset pistol formation. They're going
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: to give that ball. Now run the option play to
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: the outside. That's the 15. That's the 10. That's the 5.
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: That's a touchdown. And Colorado's a PAT away from taking
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: the lead here early in the third quarter. And that
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: was way too easy. We've got a ball game here
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: in Boulder. And to use your words, Sly, Utah's going
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: to have to wake up.
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: They need to. That's what's simple right there. It's just
- 1:37:11Speaker 3: people not understanding the right side that you need to take.
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: They went under the block right there. They've got to
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: go over the top and force it back to the defense.
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: They don't do it on that play right there. And,
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: you know, Colorado's in the end zone.
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: 18-yard touchdown run by Taylor. That's his first touchdown of
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: the year. Five plays, 76 yards in just 2.06. The
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: PAT is up. The PAT is good. And Colorado leads
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: Utah here with 9.45 to play in the third quarter.
- 1:37:42Speaker 3: 14-13.
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: We've got a timeout on the field. We'll go down
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: to Zach Moss when we get back. This is Utah
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: football from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 1:37:51Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
- 1:37:54Speaker 5: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: Business leaders, put your people in position to win with
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: Bamboo HR, an official partner of Utah Athletics. Colorado 14,
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: Utah 13. They've scored 14 unanswered out of the locker room,
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: and they lead the Utes here with 9.45 to play
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: in the third quarter. We go down to the sideline
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: and Zach Moss. Zach, what's happened down there field side
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: from your vantage point?
- 1:38:24Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely turned on its head here coming out
- 1:38:26Speaker 6: of half, right?
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: I think everything that.
- 1:38:28Speaker 6: Compiled in that first half of not finishing plays in
- 1:38:31Speaker 6: the red zone, right? I think Colorado went into the
- 1:38:34Speaker 6: half knowing that they can come out and they were
- 1:38:36Speaker 6: in this game and they came.
- 1:38:37Speaker 3: Out on the shoulder right now.
- 1:38:38Speaker 6: So Utah got to go back out there in the
- 1:38:40Speaker 6: office and still momentum back here because it's definitely on
- 1:38:43Speaker 6: the bucket list.
- 1:38:44Speaker 3: Buffalo side right now.
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: Zach, what would you like to see offensively from them
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: on this series?
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: I think the biggest.
- 1:38:50Speaker 6: Thing, right, I think we're getting a lot of one-on-one coverage.
- 1:38:52Speaker 6: We've got to get these plays down the field, make
- 1:38:54Speaker 6: some of these plays that we missed in the first half.
- 1:38:56Speaker 6: We've got to make them win right now, and Dan
- 1:38:58Speaker 6: Peer has to throw this ball well for us to
- 1:39:00Speaker 6: come out victorious here.
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: Thank you, Zach. Sideline update brought to you by Kent Garf.
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: We hear you. Devin's been efficient today, but he has
- 1:39:08Speaker 1: missed on some big plays down the field.
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: And that's been the thing.
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: It's been these subtle things from the Braden Pagan missing
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: him twice to Creed Whittemore on the sidelines.
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: We've just missed a few times on chunk plays.
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: Kickoff by Colorado, high and end over end. Daniel Bray's
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: going to let that one go out of the back
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: of the end zone. Utah will get it first and
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: ten at their own 25-yard line. Utah had roughly 254
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: yards at halftime. They have 254 yards right now. Colorado
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: had 70 yards at halftime. They've got 206 right now.
- 1:39:42Speaker 3: It's that easy things can flip, right? And the way that.
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: We ended that first half, Colorado has got confidence now, right?
- 1:39:51Speaker 3: Coach Prime can coach that. They can coach that. And so,
- 1:39:56Speaker 3: as I said, we've just got to convert.
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: Our inefficiencies in the red zone to the turnover to
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: whatever we're putting together here in the second half, we've
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: got to turn it around.
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: First and 10, Utah for their own 25-yard line. Devin
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: Dampier in the pocket, firing down the field complete. He's
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: got that ball to Braden Pagan. And first down yardage
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: out to about the 35-yard line. A gain of 10
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: in an Ivory Holmes first down. Good pitch and catch
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: that time on first down.
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: Yeah, it was actually really great. I love the quick
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: efficiency of that. But that, taking what the defense gives you,
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: get the ball out of your hands, increase tempo.
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker in the backfield on first down and 10.
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: Utah trailing in the ball game. Throw that flanker or
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: the flat screen out to the tight end. Who picks
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: up about four yards to the 39. That's Noah Benning.
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: Short game for him on first down. Four yards. Second
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: down and six coming up.
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good efficiency.
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: It's about as good as a good nice little run
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: up the middle right there. But they've got to pick
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: it up. You've got to come into opponent stadiums and
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: go out and take it. You can't just expect the
- 1:40:59Speaker 2: win to happen. You've got to go out and take it.
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: Three backs in the ballgame right now. Ficklin, one of them,
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: on second down. They're going to hand that ball to
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: Daniel Bray, trying to get out to the edge. Daniel
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: Bray's got the 40. Daniel Bray's got the 42-yard line.
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: That'll be a pickup of about three more yards. And
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: third down and three coming up here for Utah. Daniel
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: Bray always feels like he's that one breakaway from breaking
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: it for the distance.
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: Every single time.
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: Utah's missed on their last two third downs. They're six
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: for 11 in the ballgame. They face a third down
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: and a long three here. They've got to get to
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: the 46 of Utah. Devin Dampier, Wayshon Parker in the backfield.
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: Three receivers across the formation here as Colorado crowds the
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Devin surveys the defense. Colorado bringing pressure.
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: Here they come. Plenty of time looking, serving, scrambling out
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: to the right. Devin down the field.
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: Throws an interception.
- 1:41:56Speaker 7: It's picked off up the sideline and out of bounds
- 1:41:59Speaker 7: at the Utah 35-yard line. Mateen Mitchell made the interception,
- 1:42:04Speaker 7: and Devin threw it right to him.
- 1:42:09Speaker 3: He was way off on his throw. He didn't see him.
- 1:42:19Speaker 3: He clearly just didn't see him. He was trying to
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: get the ball into Ricky Johnson, and he just did
- 1:42:23Speaker 3: not see the defender right there. Great play by Colorado.
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: There were three Colorado defenders in the area.
- 1:42:30Speaker 3: I thought he was going to go to Brady Pagan
- 1:42:32Speaker 3: right there.
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: Who had a first down.
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a first down pickup, but he tries
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: to get the ball into Ricky Johnson, who had four
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: defenders around him. I just don't know why this decision
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: right here.
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: Tough decision that time by Devin Dampier, and Colorado now
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: has it at the Utah 35. All the momentum on
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: their side. The one-point lead here at Folsom Field. First down,
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: option play. Isaac Wilson keeps it. He's belted down by
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: Rabbit Evans, who's hurt on the play. At about the 39,
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: make a 29-yard line after a gain of five, almost
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: six yards. Evans pops up again. He wants to stay
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: in the ballgame. That was a seven-yard gain on first
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: down by Isaac Wilson. Just a simple option play. They're
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: hurting Utah with the option right now. Second down, we'll
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: call it a long three here for Colorado. They motioned
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: it back out of the backfield. Now Orbit motioning back
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: in again. Hand off straight ahead. That's going to be
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: first down yardage to about the 25-yard line, but a
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: timeout called before the play. Let's see. Colorado pointing at Utah.
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: Let's see.
- 1:43:37Speaker 4: Before the snap, offside, defense. Five-yard penalty results in a
- 1:43:44Speaker 4: first down.
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: Yep, they got the offside.
- 1:43:48Speaker 3: Cash Dillon.
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: Cash Dillon was saying the tackle moved.
- 1:43:51Speaker 4: The foul was on number 93.
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: That gives up an automatic first down.
- 1:43:57Speaker 4: Clock operator, please reset the game clock to 7-16. 7-16
- 1:44:00Speaker 4: on the game clock, please.
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: Sly, how has this thing come so badly apart here
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: in the second half for Utah right now?
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: People just got to stop expecting things to happen, expecting
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: other people to make it.
- 1:44:12Speaker 3: Everybody's got to do their job. The level of focus
- 1:44:15Speaker 3: tonight is just not there.
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: First and ten from the Utah 25-yard line. Wilson again
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: hands it off. Tailback's got it, pushing the pile down
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: near the 21-yard line for a gain of four. That's
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: Taylor again. He had the touchdown run moments ago. And
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: a four-yard gain on first down as the clock dips
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: under seven minutes to play here in the third, 14-13 Colorado.
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: Buffs have all the momentum on their side and in
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: good field position here at the Utah 21-yard line. The
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: Utah defense has been on its heels the entire second half.
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: They give it again to the tailback, this time inside
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: the 15, pushing the pile to the 13-yard line, and
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: that's another Colorado first down. They're playing bully ball up
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: front as Jaquil Smith picks up that first down.
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: That's tough running, too. He's running over guys, and they're
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: just taking it right at Utah.
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: That's an eight-yard run and a Colorado first down in
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: the red zone again at the Utah 13-yard line. And
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: Utah right now has no answers for Colorado. If you're
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: Utah now, you've got to hold them to a field goal.
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: Clock running under six minutes to play. First and ten,
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: Colorado from the Utah 13-yard line. Wilson takes the snap,
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: keeps it himself, and he's going to be sacked back
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage back at about the 20-yard line.
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: Great read by Ethan Day, who will get the sack,
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: our first sack by a defensive end this year.
- 1:45:46Speaker 3: I like it. I need it. We need it to happen.
- 1:45:48Speaker 1: They needed that one.
- 1:45:49Speaker 2: But this is just a great read by Ethan Day.
- 1:45:51Speaker 2: I try to tell people all of this, just read
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: the mesh.
- 1:45:53Speaker 3: Read the mesh. Watch the football.
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: And Isaac Wilson pulls the ball right there, and Ethan
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: Day sees the mesh and makes the play.
- 1:46:00Speaker 3: Great job right there.
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: That's going to be a loss of seven yards, all
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: the way back to about the 20-yard line. Actually, they
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: mark it at the 19-yard line, so a loss of
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: six yards for Isaac Wilson. Second down and 16. Pistol
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: formation for Wilson as he brings more of the wide
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: receiver in motion. He's going to look to throw over
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: the middle. It's incomplete. Nearly intercepted. Good coverage by Elijah Reed.
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: Third down coming up.
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: They're just stepping up here and making those plays. It
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: starts with that first down stop right there. Great job
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: by Ethan Day getting that. Now they're forced to a
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: third and long.
- 1:46:35Speaker 3: Second and long. Now they start throwing the ball.
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: Playing right into your hands. I just wish Jackson Pitty
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: would have came away with that interception. He was right
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: in that pass lane.
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: The Buffs are one for four on third down tonight.
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: They face a third down and about 15 to go.
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: They've got to get it to the Utah four-yard line.
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: Play clock at six. Play clock at five. Play clock
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: at four. Three, two, and Colorado gets the play off.
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson looking down the field. He's got it complete
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: to his wide receiver who's going to be tackled back
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: at about the 15-yard line. They get in progress to
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: the 14-yard line. That'll be a pickup of five. Well
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: short of first down yardage, and that will bring out
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: the field goal team. So a minor win right here
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: for the Utah defense as the field goal team and
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: Elliott Arnold come out for Colorado.
- 1:47:25Speaker 3: Hopefully we can get a field goal block here. That
- 1:47:27Speaker 3: would be awesome. But a great job by this defense
- 1:47:29Speaker 3: at coming up with a good stop after the turnover.
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: Arnold only three for six on the season. And this
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: will go down as about a 32-yard field goal. Snap
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: is down, so is the placement. The kick is up,
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: and the kick is good. He splits the uprights, and
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: Colorado extends their lead. It's 17 unanswered for the Buffs
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: here in the third quarter, and they extend their lead
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: to 17-13 over Utah with 4.24 to play in the third.
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: Timeout on the field for the Big O' Tires broadcast
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: booth here at Folsom. It's Colorado 17, Utah 13, and
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: this is Utah football from ESPN 700 and the Ute
- 1:48:06Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
- 1:48:09Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Smiths
- 1:48:12Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: Second half of Utah Football tonight from here in Boulder.
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: brought to you by University of Utah Health and Sports Medicine.
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: Because you belong back in the game as much as anyone,
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: visit sportsmed.uofuhealth.org. Seven plays, 21 yards. After the turnover by
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: Devin Dampier, his second pick tonight, 32-yard field goal makes
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: it 17-13. Buffs Utah led 13-0 at halftime. Colorado has
- 1:48:39Speaker 1: scored 17 unanswered here in the second half. Sly over
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: their last three games, Colorado's only been averaging nine points
- 1:48:46Speaker 1: a game.
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: Nine points, tons of turnovers, everything. This does not look
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: like the Colorado team that they've seen. But again, when
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: you give a team life, they get all new confidence
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: and they start doing things that you don't traditionally see.
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: Utah has to wake up. We didn't play great against
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: Kansas last week, but you come away with the win.
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: You're not playing great tonight, but they have to wake
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: up and make things happen. This is a way more
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: explosive team than what we're showcasing tonight. This is not
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: what a top 10 team does is kind of what
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: I'm getting at. They should definitely be more in control
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: and more focused in this game.
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: Utah football brought to you by Smith's, the official grocer
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: of University of Utah Athletics. Daniel Bray back deep to
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: receive the Colorado kickoff. It's high, it's end over end.
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: That's going to be another touchback out of the back
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: of the end zone. Let's see if Utah can find
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: some footing here offensively. They're 0-4 on their drives here
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: in the second half, including that last interception turnover that
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: gave it back to Colorado with a short field. Devin
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: Dampier on the night, 12-19 of 32, 176 yards, one touchdown,
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: two interceptions. Wayshon Parker doesn't have a rush here in
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: the second half. He had 13 carries for 51 yards
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: at halftime. They haven't given the ball here in the
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: second half.
- 1:50:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet you anything they'll go back to him here.
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: And that's what Wayshon Parker is.
- 1:50:16Speaker 3: He is the foundational piece of your offense.
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: First down, handoff. Wayshon Parker breaks to the outside, stays
- 1:50:23Speaker 1: on his feet, ducks through one tackler and makes another
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: miss and picks up six yards. A hard-earned six yards
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: out to the 31-yard line, Wayshon Parker.
- 1:50:32Speaker 3: He is so slippery.
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: That was an impressive move right there by him to
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: avoid that second tackler. But making moves in the open
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: field is what Wayshon Parker does. I think you get
- 1:50:41Speaker 2: a heavy dose of Wayshon Parker here on this drive.
- 1:50:44Speaker 1: Clock dips under four minutes to play here in the
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: third quarter. 17-13 Colorado. Second down and four. Full house backfield.
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: Got a rhino back in Wayshon Parker. Going to hand
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: that to Wayshon again. Picks his way forward through the
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: hole beyond the 35, out to the 36-yard line. For
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: a gain of five yards, and that's an Ivory Holmes
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: first down. Back-to-back touches, and good things happen when Wayshon
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: Parker touches football.
- 1:51:07Speaker 3: Yeah, and we know that, right? And so hopefully this continues.
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: Wayshon Parker is where you get things going, and if
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: you've got to reset, he's a great place to reset.
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: Devin Dampier splits out wide to the left. Wayshon Parker,
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: the Wildcat, back right now on first and 10 for
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: the 36th. Now Devin comes back in the backfield. Play
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: clock at 13. Colorado showing pressure. Devin's going to roll
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: to the right. Look down the field again. Still looking
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: down the field. Throwing down the field. Incomplete. Tried to
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: get that ball to Pagan. Maybe Noah Benny was there too.
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: Just nobody there. And he threw it away. Incomplete second down.
- 1:51:49Speaker 3: I mean, a good decision not to throw. Everything was covered.
- 1:51:54Speaker 4: But.
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: I think if he gives the ball a little quickly,
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: he has Rayshon Parker right.
- 1:51:58Speaker 3: In the flat.
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: Bet he could have got you, would have got some
- 1:52:01Speaker 2: good yardage there, but unfortunately come away with nothing.
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: Second down and 10, Utah from their own 36. 3.06
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: to play here in the third. Hunter Andrews comes in motion.
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: Dampier looks to throw, over the middle, caught, intercepted! And
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: now incomplete. Trying to get that ball into Ricky Johnson.
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: It popped up, looked like an interception for a minute,
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: but it goes incomplete. Third down and ten coming up.
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: Boo Carter had great coverage on Ricky Johnson. That was
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: a tough play. And Utah has not converted their last
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: three third downs. They're six of twelve. Third down and
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: ten as it gets loud here at Folsom Field. Emotion
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: Whittemore out of the backfield. Colorado showing pressure. Here they come.
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: Dampier to pass. Looking down the field. Throwing down the field.
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: He's got a man out there. Caught inside the 25
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: and down.
- 1:53:00Speaker 7: To the Colorado 20-yard line.
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: That's Creed Whittemore.
- 1:53:06Speaker 3: Hit him in stride. Perfect throw.
- 1:53:08Speaker 2: Devon Dampier was way under pressure right there. What an
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: awesome job by Creed Whittemore catching that. And Devon Dampier.
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: Under pressure, throwing a terrific ball.
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: 43 yards to the Colorado 20-yard line. First down and 10.
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker, left side, 15. Spins down to the 13-yard
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: line for a gain of 7. And now the Utah
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: offense with some momentum and winded their own back here
- 1:53:33Speaker 1: as they go into the Canyon View Credit Union red
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: zone again for the fifth time tonight.
- 1:53:39Speaker 3: Great job right here. by this offense.
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: I like the tempo that they're playing with right now.
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: They're playing a little faster, a little more focused here.
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: They've got to get in the end zone.
- 1:53:51Speaker 4: Second down and three.
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: Way Sean Parker with Devin Dampier in the backfield. Hunter
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: Andrews comes in motion. Devin, play action. Going to keep
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: it himself and he'll be dropped behind the line of scrimmage.
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: You've got to get rid of the football. Dylan Manuel,
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: who's had a big game, comes up with that stop.
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: And third down and seven coming up here for Utah.
- 1:54:10Speaker 3: That was a dysfunctional play right there. Almost wanted to.
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: Make it look like a quarterback keep, and he was
- 1:54:15Speaker 2: going to pull it and throw. But the pressure got
- 1:54:18Speaker 2: there too fast. He got too close to the line
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: of scrimmage.
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: And he had nobody open.
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: Yeah, he had an offensive lineman downfield, too, if he
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: did throw that.
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: So third down and six. Utah converted their last. Their third,
- 1:54:31Speaker 1: seven of 13 tonight. They've got to get to the
- 1:54:33Speaker 1: Colorado 10th. Motion man, Whittemore. Dampier's going to throw. Here
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: comes the pressure again. Throwing to the end zone.
- 1:54:44Speaker 7: Up, caught, touchdown. Touchdown, Brayden Pagan. Found himself open in
- 1:54:53Speaker 7: the corner of the end zone and hauls it in
- 1:54:55Speaker 7: for a Utah touchdown. He beat Cree Thomas.
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: Excellent job by the offensive line picking up the pressure
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: and a terrific toss by Devin Dampier.
- 1:55:07Speaker 3: That looks a little bit more like Utah. Great job.
- 1:55:11Speaker 2: Great play call right there on the 7 route. They
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: confused the Colorado DBs right there, and we got into
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: the end zone.
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: That's Pagan's fifth touchdown of the year. Scoring drive on
- 1:55:24Speaker 1: the Pepsi touchdown. Eight plays, 75 yards. Now to put
- 1:55:28Speaker 1: Utah up by three. Dylan Curtis splits the uprights. And
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: with a minute six to play here in the third quarter,
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: Utah back in front 20-17.
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: Great job right there at the defense stopping Colorado after
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: the turnover, settling for.
- 1:55:43Speaker 3: A field goal.
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: But this Utah offense waking up on that drive right there,
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: getting started with who?
- 1:55:49Speaker 3: Well, Sean Parker got things rolling.
- 1:55:51Speaker 1: And hitting that big play up the sideline. He had
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: missed a few of those to Whittemore and Pagan, but
- 1:55:55Speaker 1: he hits that big one for 43 yards, and that
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: just got things rolling for Utah.
- 1:56:00Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: You hit him in stride under pressure, but that was
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: just a great job by Devin Dampierre standing in the pocket,
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: standing in there, in the face of pressure and delivering
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: a great ball to Creed Whittemore, getting you all the
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: way down into the red zone, but then cashing in
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: this red.
- 1:56:14Speaker 3: Zone trip with a touchdown.
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: Get game day ready at the Utah Campus Store, the
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: official retailer of the U. Visit the University of Utah
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: Campus Store today or shop online at store.utah.edu. Go Utes. Well,
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: we've got a ball game here at Folsom Field in Boulder.
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: Not sure a lot of people thought this was going
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: to be a ball game and a one-score game late
- 1:56:32Speaker 1: into the third quarter, but you never know.
- 1:56:35Speaker 3: Here we are.
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: That's why sports is the greatest reality show there is,
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: because you just never know when there's not a script.
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis has it teed up, kicking north to south,
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: high and end over end. No return this time for Colorado.
- 1:56:48Speaker 1: And Isaac Wilson, who's been dealing here in the second half,
- 1:56:50Speaker 1: will bring the Buffs out first and 10 from his
- 1:56:52Speaker 1: own 25-yard line. Yeah, and this.
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: Is going to be even more important. This is going
- 1:56:56Speaker 2: to be a very important drive. to set the stage
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: for how the rest of this game ends, right? This
- 1:57:01Speaker 2: defense needs to have a three and out turnover. Something
- 1:57:04Speaker 2: big needs to happen here for this defense on this drive.
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: If Isaac Wilson continues to cook with gas, this is
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: going to be a back and forth game.
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson tonight, 11 of 16, 157 yards, a touchdown
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: and an interception. He brings the offense out with a
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: 75-yard field, and Jaquil Smith, the young transfer sophomore from
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: Sacramento State who came with his offensive coordinator, Brennan Marion.
- 1:57:33Speaker 1: Two backs in the backfield. Wilson to pass on first down, looking, scrambling,
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: and going down behind the line of scrimmage. Elijah Ellis
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: got him for a six-yard sack. Is there a flag
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: on the play on that far sideline?
- 1:57:49Speaker 4: There is.
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: Let's see what it is. Utah killing itself with mistakes.
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: That's the second time now Cash Dillon has been offside
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: here in the second half. That wipes out the sack
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: of Elijah Ellis and brings up first down in five
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: at the 30 yard line it's unfortunate 52 seconds clock
- 1:58:16Speaker 1: running first down handoff to the tailback who's got running
- 1:58:19Speaker 1: room up the near sideline 40 45 50 and pushed
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: out of bounds at the utah 45 yard line by
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: jackson benny Shaquille Smith again. He is working himself a
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: big night tonight. Now 11 carries and 66 yards for
- 1:58:39Speaker 1: the young sophomore. And Colorado in business again.
- 1:58:42Speaker 2: That's just guys not staying in their gap. Guys rolled
- 1:58:46Speaker 2: out of their gaps late and they just came right open.
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: Full house backfield here for Colorado on first and 10.
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: They're going to run it again. They give it again
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: this time to the tailback Smith and he picks up
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: Call it about two yards, maybe three down to the
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: 41-yard line, and that'll be the last play of the
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: third quarter here at Folsom Field. We're going to head
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter in a one-score game. Utah 20
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: and Colorado 17. For the Big O' Tires broadcast booth,
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: look at that Colorado sideline.
- 1:59:15Speaker 4: That is the end of the third quarter.
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: They are dancing and prancing like they're winning this ball game.
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: We'll take a timeout. A Bamboo HR timeout and head
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: back for the fourth quarter here in Boulder. This is
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: Utah football from ESPN 700 and Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 1:59:33Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Bamboo
- 1:59:37Speaker 5: HR on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network. As
- 1:59:43Speaker 5: we head to the fourth quarter, it's Utah 20 and
- 1:59:45Speaker 5: Colorado 17. 15 minutes to play here in Boulder. And

- 1:59:58Speaker 1: Third quarter numbers. All Colorado. 181 yards in the third
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: quarter for Colorado. 99 for Utah. 108 through the air.
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: 73 on the ground for the Buffs. 77 through the air.
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: 22 on the ground for Utah. Each team ran 16 plays.
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: Colorado was just better there in that third quarter.
- 2:00:17Speaker 3: And Utah.
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: Lost the turnover battle. They turned it over once in
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: that third quarter, led to three Colorado points. What's got
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: to happen here in the fourth quarter? We'll start first
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: on the defensive side here, Sly.
- 2:00:29Speaker 3: You've got to wake up. You've got to wake up.
- 2:00:30Speaker 3: You've got to make plays.
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: There's going to be plays that have to be made,
- 2:00:34Speaker 2: but they're just making bonehead plays. As I said, that
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: big run that they just had at the end of
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: the third quarter there, guys were rolling outside of their gaps.
- 2:00:41Speaker 3: You've got to hold your gaps.
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: You've got to know you've got to hold your gaps
- 2:00:44Speaker 2: right there. Play is not done until you hear that whistle.
- 2:00:47Speaker 2: and guys are just trying to do extra stuff right here.
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: Do your job, make the havoc plays, and come away
- 2:00:54Speaker 2: with a win here. But the guys have got to
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: wake up, play more inspired. Guys have got to play
- 2:00:58Speaker 2: more inspired, not just expect things to win, expect things
- 2:01:02Speaker 2: to happen. They've got to go out and take it
- 2:01:04Speaker 2: in this fourth quarter, like they did at the fourth quarter.
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: Colorado's got it first and making second down and eight
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: from the Utah 41-yard line to begin things here in
- 2:01:11Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Jaquil Smith has really announced his presence
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: here tonight. 11 carries, 69 yards. He's got the catch
- 2:01:18Speaker 1: up the sideline for 68 yards and a touchdown. Colorado
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: players asking for a little quiet from their fans as
- 2:01:31Speaker 1: they line up here. Utah comes out with a four-man
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: down front. Isaac Wilson lines up in the backfield by himself.
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: Now he'll bring the backfield back in motion across the back,
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: and they're going to run the end around to a
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: wide receiver on a pop pass who's tripped up just
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. He'll go down for a
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: one-yard loss at the 42. That'll bring up third down
- 2:01:50Speaker 1: at about eight.
- 2:01:51Speaker 3: Great job right there by the defense. Staying home, understanding
- 2:01:55Speaker 3: your keys.
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: Not getting mixed up with the eye candy going to
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: the opposite direction.
- 2:02:03Speaker 1: Colorado one for five on third down. Big opportunity for
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: the Utah defense here to get him off the field.
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: Maybe a negative play. We'll see. Isaac Wilson with two
- 2:02:15Speaker 1: backs to the backfield. Two wide receivers and a tight end.
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: Utah paying very close attention now with pressure near the
- 2:02:22Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Orbit motion out of the backfield. Wilson looking, surveying.
- 2:02:27Speaker 1: Ball batted down. Knocked away. What a nice play by
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: Jackson Benny, who was blitzing on the play. That's it incomplete.
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: That'll bring up fourth down and eight. We'll see what
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: Deion Sanders decides to do here. Does he keep his
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: offense out? I don't think so. Are they going to
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: bring the punt team out? No, they're going to keep
- 2:02:46Speaker 1: the offense out there. How about this decision by Deion
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: Sanders on fourth down and eight from the Utah 41-42
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: yard line? They're going to try to get.
- 2:02:53Speaker 3: Utah to jump here. They're going to take a delay
- 2:02:55Speaker 3: game penalty.
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going.
- 2:02:59Speaker 3: To get a delay game penalty and end up playing.
- 2:03:01Speaker 3: They're going to try to get Utah to jump.
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: I think they're going to go for it here. They
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: bring a tight end in motion. That's Charlie Williams. Isaac
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: Wilson stands in the shotgun, checks with the sideline, play
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: clock at 12. Now they check with the sideline again.
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: Isaac changing the play. Play clock at five seconds, four seconds,
- 2:03:22Speaker 1: three seconds, two seconds, and your right slide. Do they
- 2:03:26Speaker 1: take the penalty? Yes, they do. Now the punt team
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: will come out.
- 2:03:31Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just in that in-between area where you can't
- 2:03:33Speaker 3: kick a field goal.
- 2:03:34Speaker 4: It's hard to punt. Delay of game.
- 2:03:36Speaker 3: Offense.
- 2:03:36Speaker 4: The penalty is declined. Still fourth down.
- 2:03:40Speaker 3: So now this five yards will... Oh, we declined the penalty.
- 2:03:44Speaker 3: I like that move. That's why you just wanted to
- 2:03:47Speaker 3: get him just do a false start or something.
- 2:03:50Speaker 1: Said this a number of times tonight, but I'll say
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: it again. When a team is desperate and they'll try anything,
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: watch fake punts. Monica Valio stands at his own 10-yard line.
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: Damon Graves out to punt here for the Bucs. Snap
- 2:04:04Speaker 1: is back. Graves' kick is away. It's high. It's end
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: over end. It's short. Monica's going to call for the
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: fair catch and take it at the 11-yard line. And
- 2:04:12Speaker 1: that's where Utah will begin first and tens. With an
- 2:04:17Speaker 1: 89-yard field, 31-yard punt, no return. And Utah scored a
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: touchdown on their last drive. They'd like to put some
- 2:04:25Speaker 1: distance between themselves and the Buffs here with 14.02 to
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: play in the ballgame.
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: Yeah, you can start that there with Wayshawn Parker, just
- 2:04:32Speaker 2: how you did in that other drive.
- 2:04:33Speaker 3: He's got to get those rushing yards. That opens everything
- 2:04:37Speaker 3: else up just like it did on that last drive.
- 2:04:38Speaker 1: Wayshawn, 16 carries, 70 yards tonight. This offensive series brought
- 2:04:43Speaker 1: to you by Bud Light, easy to drink and easy
- 2:04:46Speaker 1: to enjoy. From the 11-yard line, Devin Dampier in the gun,
- 2:04:50Speaker 1: Parker next to him. First down, handoff, Wayshawn Parker busts
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: to the outside, puts his head down and reaches the 15,
- 2:04:59Speaker 1: almost 16-yard line for a gain of five yards on
- 2:05:01Speaker 1: first down, nothing wrong with that. Tackled on the outside
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: by Boo Carter and Gideon Lampren after a five-yard game.
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: Are you trying to say that we're going to get
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: Wayshawn Parker over 20 carries tonight?
- 2:05:11Speaker 3: That hasn't happened yet.
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: Might be best for this Utah football team to give
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: him a few more touches. Second down and five. Wayshawn
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: stays in the ballgame. Two receivers left for Utah. Colorado
- 2:05:25Speaker 1: crowding the line of scrimmage again as they shift the
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: tight ends to the right-hand side to the Utes. Hand-off outside,
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: Waishon Parker, stutter step into the open field beyond the
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: 25 to the 27-yard line. Pyle keeps pushing him out
- 2:05:40Speaker 1: to about the 29. That's going to be a game
- 2:05:43Speaker 1: of 13 yards and an Ivory Holmes first down on
- 2:05:46Speaker 1: a great run and a great stutter step by Waishon Parker.
- 2:05:49Speaker 3: They tried to dead leg him right there. Waishon Parker
- 2:05:52Speaker 3: is so dangerous, man.
- 2:05:53Speaker 2: So explosive in the open field from him being able
- 2:05:56Speaker 2: to run you over or him juking you in the
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: open field.
- 2:05:58Speaker 3: He has the complete package.
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: 18 carries, 88 yards. Wayshawn checks out of the ball game.
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: Talonga and Bray in the backfield now with Devin Dampier.
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: First down, Utah from their own 29. 12.44 to play
- 2:06:13Speaker 1: in the ball game. Devin hands Daniel Bray beyond the
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: 30 and out to about the 31-yard line for a
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: short gain of two. Dylan Manuel has had a big
- 2:06:22Speaker 1: game tonight for Colorado. Made the tackle for the Buffs.
- 2:06:24Speaker 1: Second down and eight coming up. and Ficklin checking in
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: the ball game here for Utah. He had the huge
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: game as a starter last year. A little quieter here tonight.
- 2:06:36Speaker 3: Yeah, a different type of game plan.
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: Mally Devon's in the mix, but yeah, hopefully his offense
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: has felt like they've gotten a.
- 2:06:42Speaker 3: Little bit of momentum here.
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: It is Ficklin lined up at quarterback right now. Devon
- 2:06:48Speaker 1: Dampier in the right slot. Now Wayshawn Parker comes in
- 2:06:51Speaker 1: motion back into the backfield. Ficklin. Takes it himself straight
- 2:06:57Speaker 1: up the gut, and he is absolutely blasted at the
- 2:07:00Speaker 1: 33-yard line after a one, maybe two-yard gain. Not much
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: there for Bird Ficklin. Third down and long coming up
- 2:07:06Speaker 1: here for Utah. It's going to.
- 2:07:08Speaker 3: Be about third down and six here.
- 2:07:10Speaker 2: I don't know if that was fancy or whatever.
- 2:07:14Speaker 3: It just didn't get much push.
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: So great job there by Colorado at stuffing that up,
- 2:07:20Speaker 2: but you're going to have.
- 2:07:21Speaker 3: To throw with Bird Ficklin.
- 2:07:24Speaker 4: I agree.
- 2:07:25Speaker 2: They're going to give you ISO on the outside with
- 2:07:27Speaker 2: him in the box because they're afraid of Wildcat.
- 2:07:28Speaker 3: They're not thinking about the pass that much. You're going
- 2:07:31Speaker 3: to have to have him drop back.
- 2:07:33Speaker 6: Right there and pass the ball.
- 2:07:34Speaker 1: Play clock at 9. Utah going to have to hurry here.
- 2:07:38Speaker 1: Dampier in the shotgun. Ficklin motions out of the backfield.
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: Devon's going to roll to his right and look to
- 2:07:42Speaker 1: pass down the field. Got a man open. That's Ficklin
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: through his hands.
- 2:07:46Speaker 3: Incomplete.
- 2:07:46Speaker 1: He didn't throw it to him early enough. And when
- 2:07:48Speaker 1: he threw it to him late, Boo Carter, the defender,
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: was there to break it up.
- 2:07:52Speaker 3: Incomplete.
- 2:07:52Speaker 1: That'll bring up fourth down. Just got to get rid
- 2:07:58Speaker 1: of that ball a little bit faster.
- 2:07:59Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:08:00Speaker 3: He does.
- 2:08:00Speaker 2: If he gives it to Burr Finkley right out of
- 2:08:02Speaker 2: the snap, like right here, Burr Finkley could do something
- 2:08:05Speaker 2: with it.
- 2:08:06Speaker 3: But Burr Finkley just sitting there.
- 2:08:08Speaker 4: Utah is changing jerseys for the punt formation.
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: So fourth down and call it six here for Utah.
- 2:08:15Speaker 1: And Ryan Phillips comes out. 11.08 to play in the ballgame.
- 2:08:21Speaker 1: Taylor back deep to receive this punt from Phillips. Colorado's
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: going to come after this. Phillips' punt is away, and
- 2:08:28Speaker 1: it's a good one this time. Taylor's going to let
- 2:08:31Speaker 1: it hit, takes a Utah bounce, goes sideways, and now
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: inside the 25 and out of bounds right about there.
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: See where they mark it. They're going to mark it
- 2:08:39Speaker 1: at about the 26-yard line. And a timeout on the field.
- 2:08:43Speaker 1: Colorado football when we get back at a one-score game
- 2:08:45Speaker 1: here with 10.58 to play for the Big O' Tires
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: broadcast booth. It's Utah football from ESPN 700 and the
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 2:08:54Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Pepsi
- 2:08:58Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 2:09:02Speaker 1: Second half of Utah football being brought to you by
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: University of Utah Health. And I get the same great
- 2:09:07Speaker 1: care the Utes Trust and University of Utah Health. Bill Riley,
- 2:09:10Speaker 1: Stevenson Sylvester. And Zach Boss with you here from Folsom Field.
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: 20-17 Utah with 10.58 to play in the ballgame. Colorado's
- 2:09:19Speaker 1: got it first and 10 at their own 27-yard line.
- 2:09:22Speaker 1: In a game where Utah led 13-0 at the half,
- 2:09:26Speaker 1: this second half's been dominated by Colorado. And the Buffs
- 2:09:30Speaker 1: have a chance to tie it or take the lead
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: on this drive down with 10.58 to play.
- 2:09:33Speaker 2: Yeah, the Art of Defense has got to step up.
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: They've got to do what they did on that last
- 2:09:40Speaker 2: drive and get them off the field. they've got to
- 2:09:43Speaker 2: go out there and take it, play with some energy,
- 2:09:46Speaker 2: and knock Colorado out right here.
- 2:09:48Speaker 1: Utah minus one in the turnover margin tonight. Two interceptions
- 2:09:51Speaker 1: by Devin Dampier, one by Isaac Wilson. Colorado's been penalized
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: nine times for 92 yards. Utah six times for 54 yards.
- 2:10:01Speaker 1: Those flags brought to you by Ann Collar, Utah's number
- 2:10:03Speaker 1: one shirt. Isaac Wilson. And Jaquil Smith, first and ten
- 2:10:08Speaker 1: from the Colorado 27-yard line. Trailing 20-17, Utah crowding the
- 2:10:12Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Isaac is going to keep it himself,
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: and he's going to be wrapped up and taken down
- 2:10:17Speaker 1: after a short game to about the 30, almost 31-yard line.
- 2:10:22Speaker 1: Wrapped up and taken down on the play by Trey Reynolds.
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: Second down and six coming up.
- 2:10:28Speaker 3: Yeah, good job here.
- 2:10:30Speaker 2: They're going to keep the energy up, make sure Isaac Wilson,
- 2:10:34Speaker 2: there's still a, You're in the game and you're still
- 2:10:37Speaker 2: able to run this late.
- 2:10:38Speaker 3: That's not good for your defense.
- 2:10:41Speaker 1: Still multidimensional Wilson operates out of the shotgun Smith next
- 2:10:45Speaker 1: to him on second down and six Isaacs going to
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: pass three man drop or three man rush. He picks
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: up about three more yards to the 34 yard line
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: on a quarterback scramble. That time it'll be third down
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: and one here for the buffs. That almost looked like
- 2:11:00Speaker 1: a designed quarterback run. He took three steps, nothing was there,
- 2:11:02Speaker 1: and he just took off.
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: Yeah, the way that running back was lead blocking for him,
- 2:11:06Speaker 2: I think that was a dedicated QB draw right there.
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: Colorado one for six on third down. They face a
- 2:11:14Speaker 1: third down and about four here. They've got to get
- 2:11:19Speaker 1: to the 37, maybe a long three. Wilson out of
- 2:11:24Speaker 1: the gun. Utah crowds the line again. They hand it
- 2:11:27Speaker 1: to the tailback, and he is not going to get there.
- 2:11:29Speaker 1: He's going to be stacked up at the 35-yard line,
- 2:11:31Speaker 1: maybe the 36. So he'll be about a yard shy.
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: He'll be fourth down and one here, and an interesting
- 2:11:36Speaker 1: decision now for Deion Sanders. Down by three with nine
- 2:11:41Speaker 1: and a half to play. Does he keep the offense
- 2:11:45Speaker 1: out there? Nope, he's going to send the punt team
- 2:11:48Speaker 1: out now.
- 2:11:49Speaker 3: Great job. Exactly what you needed to get out here
- 2:11:51Speaker 3: on third down, but as you.
- 2:11:52Speaker 2: Said on the last one, Always be on the lookout
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: for fake punts here, so you're going to go defensive safe.
- 2:11:58Speaker 3: Just to make sure.
- 2:12:00Speaker 1: Colorado hasn't been in many of these close games recently.
- 2:12:03Speaker 1: Deion had to take a minute to decide what he
- 2:12:05Speaker 1: wanted to do right there. Fourth down and one, Colorado
- 2:12:07Speaker 1: from their own 36. Graves on to punt. Carvalho stands
- 2:12:11Speaker 1: at his own 15-yard line. Graves gets his kick away.
- 2:12:17Speaker 1: It's high end over, and that's a good kick by Graves.
- 2:12:19Speaker 1: Monty's going to take it at about the 14-yard line.
- 2:12:21Speaker 1: Up the field he goes, 20. Stays on his feet
- 2:12:24Speaker 1: 25 and belted there. Backwards and out of bounds at
- 2:12:27Speaker 1: about the 22. Let's see where they give him progress to.
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: Going to give him progress to about the 24-yard line.
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: So that's where Utah will take over when we get back.
- 2:12:37Speaker 1: First down and 10. 8.43 to play in the ballgame.
- 2:12:44Speaker 1: Utah holding a three-point lead. Over the Colorado Buffaloes here.
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: For the Big O Tires broadcast booth, we've got a
- 2:12:51Speaker 1: Bamboo HR timeout on the field. And this is Utah
- 2:12:53Speaker 1: football from ESPN 700 and Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 2:12:57Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah football brought to you by Big
- 2:13:00Speaker 5: O Tires on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 2:13:07Speaker 1: Well, while we were at break, Utah was assessed an
- 2:13:09Speaker 1: illegal block in the back penalty that apparently occurred at
- 2:13:15Speaker 1: the 14-yard line. So half the distance takes them to
- 2:13:19Speaker 1: the 7, and that's where this drive will begin. That
- 2:13:21Speaker 1: flag on the play sponsored by Ann Collar, Utah's number
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: one shirt. So instead of having it at their own 24,
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: they've got it at their own 7, a 93-yard field
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: here with 8.43 to play in the ballgame.
- 2:13:34Speaker 3: Yeah, man, and it's good. We've got the lead right now.
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: As I said, I think we continue running the ball,
- 2:13:40Speaker 2: continue having Wayshawn Parker play. stake his claim in this game.
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: He's definitely doing some really great things, and I don't
- 2:13:48Speaker 2: think Colorado is stopping him, especially when he's got momentum
- 2:13:52Speaker 2: right now. So, as you said during the break, you
- 2:13:55Speaker 2: can't go on a 93-yard drive if you don't start
- 2:13:58Speaker 2: on the 7-yard line.
- 2:13:59Speaker 3: So, here we go.
- 2:14:01Speaker 2: I'll take a 93-yard touchdown by Wayshawn Parker.
- 2:14:05Speaker 3: That'd be nice.
- 2:14:07Speaker 1: Devin Dampier will bring the offense out. Utah scored on
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: their opening drive. They put two field goals up in
- 2:14:15Speaker 1: the second quarter. They led 13-0 at halftime. After that,
- 2:14:18Speaker 1: Colorado scored 17 unanswered before Utah put up the touchdown.
- 2:14:24Speaker 1: Leading the third quarter to make it 20-17. We're scoreless
- 2:14:27Speaker 1: here in the fourth so far. This would be a
- 2:14:29Speaker 1: great time for a clock-eating scoring drive for Utah. We've
- 2:14:36Speaker 1: seen Wayshon Parker from about this distance take a couple
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: this year. Last week he went 90 yards. He had
- 2:14:43Speaker 1: a 94-yard touchdown run called back earlier this year. Colorado
- 2:14:49Speaker 1: has been absolutely selling out to the run. Let's see
- 2:14:54Speaker 1: what they do right here. 18 carries, 88 yards for
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: Wayshon Parker. First and 10 Utah at their own 7. Surprisingly,
- 2:15:07Speaker 1: the crowd here has kind of vanished in fearsome fear.
- 2:15:09Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
- 2:15:13Speaker 1: Ampere and Parker line up at the two yard line.
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: Colorado selling out for the run again. We Sean Parker.
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: Gets back to the line of scrimmage and that's it
- 2:15:22Speaker 1: tripped up from behind by Gideon Lampron. Second down and
- 2:15:26Speaker 1: 10 coming up.
- 2:15:26Speaker 3: Yeah, good job by Lampard.
- 2:15:33Speaker 2: He's the one who's really selling out on that edge
- 2:15:35Speaker 2: multiple times. That's where I would think that Devin would
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: end up pulling that one of these times.
- 2:15:42Speaker 1: Empty backfield this time as Weishon Parker splits wide to
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: the left-hand side. Now he motions back into the backfield.
- 2:15:49Speaker 1: Second down and 10 from the 7. Dampier to pass,
- 2:15:54Speaker 1: looking down the field, firing down the field, caught down
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: the field. That's Braden Pagan. He's got first down yardage
- 2:16:00Speaker 1: out beyond the 17 to the 19-yard line. They're going
- 2:16:02Speaker 1: to give him what? The 20-yard line. That's a gain
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: of 13 and an Ivory Holmes first down and a
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: little breathing room for Utah.
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: It's a great breathing room right there. Now you can
- 2:16:11Speaker 2: really operate and do your thing. I would still go
- 2:16:14Speaker 2: back to Wayshawn Parker in this running game right now
- 2:16:17Speaker 2: as you're continuing.
- 2:16:18Speaker 3: To join the club.
- 2:16:19Speaker 1: Parker stays in the ballgame. 89 yards rushing. He's got
- 2:16:24Speaker 1: back-to-back 100-yard rushing games. Motion man across the formation. Hand
- 2:16:30Speaker 1: off again, Parker. Wayshawn through a hole, spins out of
- 2:16:33Speaker 1: a tackle and down to the 25 for a 5-yard gain.
- 2:16:35Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with 5 yards on first down?
- 2:16:37Speaker 2: Nothing at all. As I said, Rayshon Parker doing so
- 2:16:42Speaker 2: great in the running game. He's going to open everything
- 2:16:43Speaker 2: else up for me.
- 2:16:44Speaker 3: We already talked about how they're selling out on the run.
- 2:16:47Speaker 3: They're going to sell out one time, and.
- 2:16:48Speaker 2: Then Coach McGibbon is going to call this play-action fake,
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: a flea flick, or whatever you want to call it.
- 2:16:52Speaker 3: It's going to come wide open in the one-on-one downfield.
- 2:16:55Speaker 1: Second down and five Utahs. We come up on seven
- 2:16:58Speaker 1: to play in the clock running. 20-17 Utah here in
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: the fourth. A game a whole lot closer than most
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: of us thought it would be tonight. Whittemore comes in motion.
- 2:17:08Speaker 1: Hand off again, Wayshon Parker. Out of a tackle and
- 2:17:11Speaker 1: down after a three-yard gain to the 28-yard line goes
- 2:17:14Speaker 1: Wayshon Parker. Up to 97 yards and third down and
- 2:17:18Speaker 1: about two coming up here for the Utes. Utah tonight,
- 2:17:27Speaker 1: 8 of 15 on third down. This is about as
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: big a third down as they've had all night long
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: right here, third down and two. Parker stays in the game.
- 2:17:36Speaker 1: Two tight ends as well for Utah. Colorado. Pressing at
- 2:17:43Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Weishon is stuffed. He's not going
- 2:17:48Speaker 1: to get there. Lost yardage back to the 26-yard line.
- 2:17:55Speaker 1: That play never had a chance if Devin keeps that ball.
- 2:17:58Speaker 1: He's around the edge and up the sideline.
- 2:18:00Speaker 3: I'm telling you, it's open.
- 2:18:02Speaker 2: If they see that, If Devin can see how much
- 2:18:06Speaker 2: they're selling out there, he had a lead blocker in
- 2:18:08Speaker 2: Noah Binney out there.
- 2:18:10Speaker 4: Utah is changing jerseys for the punt formation.
- 2:18:14Speaker 2: But unfortunately, he's just not seeing that. But I know
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: you want to get way shunned in, but also take
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: what the defense is giving you. Noah Binney was your
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: lead blocker if you wanted to keep that.
- 2:18:24Speaker 1: Orion Phillips back on to punt here. Taylor back deep
- 2:18:27Speaker 1: to receive this kick for Colorado. Clock running at five
- 2:18:30Speaker 1: and a half to play. Three-point game. Kick is away.
- 2:18:33Speaker 1: That's a dandy from Orion Phillips. Taylor's going to backpedal
- 2:18:37Speaker 1: and fair catch it at his own 23-yard line. Outstanding
- 2:18:40Speaker 1: kick when it was needed from Orion Phillips. And a
- 2:18:43Speaker 1: timeout on the field. 50-yard punt, no return. 5.23 to
- 2:18:49Speaker 1: play in the ballgame. Colorado trailing by three to Utah.
- 2:18:53Speaker 1: And a timeout on the field. This is Utah football
- 2:18:55Speaker 1: from ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 2:18:59Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Smiths
- 2:19:03Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 2:19:08Speaker 1: From Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, there's five minutes and
- 2:19:12Speaker 1: 23 seconds to play, and the University of Utah, who
- 2:19:15Speaker 1: led 13-0, clinging to a three-point lead here, late in
- 2:19:20Speaker 1: the fourth, 20-17. Colorado's got the football. First and ten
- 2:19:24Speaker 1: at their own 23-yard line, trailing by three points.
- 2:19:28Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've got to make another stand here, right?
- 2:19:32Speaker 3: It's only a three-point lead, giving Isaac Wilson more opportunities.
- 2:19:37Speaker 3: Their playbook's still wide open. They're not one-dimensional. They can
- 2:19:40Speaker 3: run still. They can pass still. They're still very much
- 2:19:44Speaker 3: in this game. So you're going to need a big
- 2:19:45Speaker 3: stop here by this defense.
- 2:19:48Speaker 1: Utah has one takeaway and no sacks tonight against Isaac
- 2:19:52Speaker 1: Wilson and his Colorado offense. Defense comes to the field
- 2:19:56Speaker 1: brought to you by doTERRA, proud sponsor of Utah football.
- 2:20:00Speaker 1: Wilson operating out of the shotgun. Ernest Campbell in the backfield.
- 2:20:05Speaker 1: Now motions out. Isaac drops to pass. Four-man Utah rush.
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: Down the field he goes. Intercepted.
- 2:20:11Speaker 7: It's picked off by Utah. Up the near sideline. At
- 2:20:16Speaker 7: the 35-30, 25-20, and out of bounds. Bobo Chenault for
- 2:20:22Speaker 7: a second consecutive week. as a Utah interception and a
- 2:20:26Speaker 7: huge play by the Utah defense.
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: It's a 20-yard return there by Bobo Chenault. Absolutely awesome
- 2:20:34Speaker 2: job right there. I don't know what Isaac Wilson was
- 2:20:36Speaker 2: looking at. He should have threw it to the flat, but.
- 2:20:39Speaker 1: Glad he didn't.
- 2:20:40Speaker 2: I'm glad he didn't either. Threw it right to Bobo Chenault.
- 2:20:43Speaker 2: Bobo Chenault really didn't have to do much there. But
- 2:20:46Speaker 2: just a great job at being on your keys. Great
- 2:20:49Speaker 2: return right there. Now we're in striking distance.
- 2:20:53Speaker 1: So a 20-yard return for Bobo Chennault, and Utah sits
- 2:20:57Speaker 1: on the edge of the red zone. UConn could put
- 2:21:01Speaker 1: this football game away with 5.09 to play if they
- 2:21:04Speaker 1: could punch one in the end zone right here. First
- 2:21:06Speaker 1: and 10 at the Colorado 22-yard line. Wayshawn Parker needs
- 2:21:11Speaker 1: four yards to get to 100 for a third straight game.
- 2:21:16Speaker 1: Two receivers split wide left and right. Ricky Johnson to
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: the left, Braden Pagan to the right. Two tight ends.
- 2:21:24Speaker 1: Parker in the backfield with Devin Dampier. Devin's going to
- 2:21:27Speaker 1: roll to his right.
- 2:21:28Speaker 4: Look, look, look.
- 2:21:30Speaker 1: He can't take a sack.
- 2:21:31Speaker 3: Now he does.
- 2:21:33Speaker 7: All the way back at the Colorado 35-yard line. Devin
- 2:21:36Speaker 7: Dampier loses 13 yards on the play.
- 2:21:41Speaker 1: Gideon Lampren comes up with the sack for Colorado.
- 2:21:45Speaker 2: I don't know if this is supposed to be a
- 2:21:46Speaker 2: throwback or what. There was multiple guys open, but he
- 2:21:51Speaker 2: throws back. He goes right into the lap of Lampren
- 2:21:54Speaker 2: right there.
- 2:21:57Speaker 1: So they're going to mark him at the 31, not
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: the 35, but still a huge loss. A nine-yard loss
- 2:22:05Speaker 1: on the play. Second down and 19. Parker the Wildcat back.
- 2:22:12Speaker 1: Splits out wide to the left. Now Devin's going to pass.
- 2:22:15Speaker 1: Blitz coming off the edge. He throws one up down
- 2:22:17Speaker 1: the field.
- 2:22:17Speaker 3: It is caught. Oh, it's caught.
- 2:22:23Speaker 7: Creed Whittemore inside the 10 and down to the six-yard line.
- 2:22:29Speaker 1: First and goal, Utah.
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: Well, giving Creed a chance, right? Just throwing it out there.
- 2:22:33Speaker 2: He's facing pressure. He just tosses it up there. Great
- 2:22:36Speaker 2: job by Creed Whittemore. It's your guy coming into.
- 2:22:39Speaker 3: This game, too.
- 2:22:40Speaker 1: Devin Dampier had a blitzer right in his face, and
- 2:22:43Speaker 1: he threw a perfect fade to Creed Whittemore. First and goal,
- 2:22:45Speaker 1: Utah at the Colorado 6. Devin keeps to the outside, throws,
- 2:22:50Speaker 1: end zone, caught!
- 2:22:51Speaker 3: Touchdown! Brayden Pagan for a second time tonight!
- 2:22:57Speaker 7: With 3.43 to play, Utah punches it in from six
- 2:23:01Speaker 7: yards out.
- 2:23:04Speaker 2: Now this is looking more like the Utah offense in
- 2:23:06Speaker 2: the red zone. You got so many weapons, they fake the...
- 2:23:10Speaker 2: The sprint option right there, and Pagan slips right in
- 2:23:14Speaker 2: there in an RPO type of situation.
- 2:23:16Speaker 3: The cornerback drops him. He comes wide open on the slant.
- 2:23:19Speaker 2: Great job by Devin Depp here at seeing that, and
- 2:23:22Speaker 2: Brandon Pagan coming away with the catch.
- 2:23:24Speaker 1: Three minutes and 43 seconds to play. The second touchdown
- 2:23:27Speaker 1: tonight for Pagan, a Pepsi touchdown. The PAT up and
- 2:23:30Speaker 1: good by Dylan Curtis. And after the interception by Bobo Chenault,
- 2:23:36Speaker 1: Utah pays it off. Three plays, 22 yards. And a
- 2:23:40Speaker 1: six-yard touchdown pass to Braden Pagan makes it 27-17 Utah
- 2:23:46Speaker 1: with 3.43 to play.
- 2:23:52Speaker 3: It's exactly what you were calling for.
- 2:23:54Speaker 2: And now you've got Colorado in desperation mode. This is
- 2:23:57Speaker 2: the more one-dimensional that you're looking for. Isaac Wilson is
- 2:24:00Speaker 2: going to continue to throw the ball.
- 2:24:02Speaker 3: He's going to throw the ball to us.
- 2:24:05Speaker 1: Maybe another opportunity for a Utah turnover. We shall see.
- 2:24:09Speaker 1: But a 10-point lead with 3.43 to play.
- 2:24:11Speaker 3: Try to keep our 30-point streak alive here.
- 2:24:14Speaker 1: The important streak is the 11-game win streak.
- 2:24:17Speaker 3: Yes.
- 2:24:18Speaker 1: And that one feels a little bit more comfortable right
- 2:24:20Speaker 1: now with three minutes and 43 seconds to play after
- 2:24:23Speaker 1: the touchdown to Brayden Pagan. Devin Dampier now 24 of 40,
- 2:24:28Speaker 1: 270 yards, three touchdowns, two picks here tonight. And Dylan
- 2:24:33Speaker 1: Curtis will tee it up and kick it south to
- 2:24:35Speaker 1: north here at Folsom Field. Quentin Gibson back deep to receive.
- 2:24:41Speaker 1: That's a short kick. That's returnable for Gibson. He'll take
- 2:24:43Speaker 1: it from the two-yard line. Out across the five to
- 2:24:46Speaker 1: the ten. Quentin Gibson to the outside. Slips and falls.
- 2:24:49Speaker 1: Turf Monster got him at about the 17-yard line. So
- 2:24:53Speaker 1: a 15-yard return for Quentin Gibson. And an 83-yard field
- 2:24:58Speaker 1: here for Isaac Wilson, who just threw a terrible interception
- 2:25:01Speaker 1: his second of the night tonight. Right to his former team.
- 2:25:05Speaker 1: Now many of the fans here at Folsom Field beginning
- 2:25:07Speaker 1: to head to the exits.
- 2:25:09Speaker 3: Took a great job by that coverage team as well.
- 2:25:12Speaker 3: As I said, the short kick. And they get him
- 2:25:15Speaker 3: inside the 20-yard line. That's great coverage.
- 2:25:20Speaker 1: From the 17-yard line, Wilson and the Buffs. Line three
- 2:25:23Speaker 1: receivers out wide to the left-hand side. He drops to pass.
- 2:25:28Speaker 1: Pressure off the edge. Throws down the field. Incomplete. Good
- 2:25:32Speaker 1: trail coverage there by Elijah Reed trying to get that
- 2:25:34Speaker 1: ball into Ernest Campbell. Incomplete it goes. Second down coming up.
- 2:25:39Speaker 3: Great, great coverage right there by Elijah Reed. That is
- 2:25:41Speaker 3: very hard.
- 2:25:42Speaker 2: He comes in motion and sprints across the entire field
- 2:25:46Speaker 2: and Elijah Reed has to cover him that entire time.
- 2:25:48Speaker 3: It's a great position to make that incomplete pass.
- 2:25:51Speaker 1: Be a great time for the first sack of the night,
- 2:25:53Speaker 1: wouldn't it?
- 2:25:54Speaker 3: Awesome time for the first sack of the night.
- 2:25:57Speaker 1: Utah will rush four here and drop everybody else it
- 2:25:59Speaker 1: looks like. On first down, they hand the football off
- 2:26:03Speaker 1: to the tailback. That's an interesting call. Down by 10.
- 2:26:06Speaker 1: He'll get back to the line of scrimmage, and that's it.
- 2:26:09Speaker 1: Third down and 10 coming up. They gave that ball
- 2:26:11Speaker 1: to Taylor.
- 2:26:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they were trying to catch Utah by
- 2:26:15Speaker 3: surprise right there. Everybody thinks that they're one-dimensional and they're
- 2:26:18Speaker 3: going to throw every play, and then you throw a
- 2:26:20Speaker 3: wrinkle in there. But Utah, on their keys right there,
- 2:26:24Speaker 3: made the stop.
- 2:26:27Speaker 1: Third down and 10. Colorado one for seven tonight on
- 2:26:30Speaker 1: third down. Back of the backfield. Tight end comes in motion.
- 2:26:36Speaker 1: Three receivers in the pattern. Wilson rolls to his right.
- 2:26:39Speaker 1: Throws back to his left. He's got a man out there.
- 2:26:41Speaker 1: It is caught. Back out of the backfield. Caught it.
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: John Hall never saw it. That's a first down for
- 2:26:47Speaker 1: Colorado out to the 31-yard line.
- 2:26:49Speaker 3: Great play call right there. It's kind of like a
- 2:26:51Speaker 3: rollout throwback. The running back runs right through the line
- 2:26:54Speaker 3: of scrimmage. Kind of in a hurry. Jonah Hall has
- 2:26:56Speaker 3: to catch him.
- 2:26:58Speaker 1: Drive stays alive. Two and a half minutes to play.
- 2:27:00Speaker 1: First and 10, Colorado. From their own 31-yard line, Wilson
- 2:27:04Speaker 1: to pass again. Four-man pressure to the outside. He goes incomplete,
- 2:27:08Speaker 1: trying to squeeze that ball in to Joseph Williams. Great
- 2:27:12Speaker 1: coverage on the outside that time by Utah. Like Scooby
- 2:27:17Speaker 1: Davis was out there on the coverage.
- 2:27:19Speaker 3: Yeah, great coverage right there by Scooby Davis. Made it tight,
- 2:27:22Speaker 3: hard to catch. If it was just a little bit
- 2:27:24Speaker 3: more inbounds, that would have been another interception.
- 2:27:27Speaker 1: 27-17 Utah, 2.23 to play. Second down and 10. Smith,
- 2:27:37Speaker 1: the back of the backfield. Four receivers in the pattern here.
- 2:27:42Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson to pass. Looking to set up a screen.
- 2:27:44Speaker 1: Scrambling out to his right side. Going to tuck it
- 2:27:46Speaker 1: and go. Isaac Wilson to the 40. Isaac Wilson to
- 2:27:49Speaker 1: the 45. Isaac Wilson belted down at about the 48-yard line.
- 2:27:52Speaker 1: 17-yard gain on the play. Lance Holtzclaw beating his head
- 2:27:59Speaker 1: because he thought he had Isaac Wilson. Buffs not going
- 2:28:04Speaker 1: down without a fight. We've reached the two-minute timeout.
- 2:28:06Speaker 4: This is the two-minute timeout.
- 2:28:10Speaker 1: Still two minutes of football to play. Timeout on the field.
- 2:28:12Speaker 1: A bamboo HR timeout. Utah 27, Colorado 17. Folsom Field
- 2:28:17Speaker 1: in Boulder. This is Utah football from ESPN 700 and
- 2:28:21Speaker 1: the Ute Sports Radio Network.
- 2:28:24Speaker 5: You're listening to Utah Football, brought to you by Pepsi
- 2:28:27Speaker 5: on ESPN 700 and the Ute Sports Network.
- 2:28:32Speaker 1: Two minutes to play here in Boulder. Utah with a
- 2:28:35Speaker 1: 10-point advantage over Colorado. It's not been easy. In fact,
- 2:28:39Speaker 1: Utah trailed here in the second half, 17-13. But they've
- 2:28:44Speaker 1: scored 14 unanswered, deleted by 10. Colorado's not going without
- 2:28:47Speaker 1: a fight, though. They've got first and 10 at their
- 2:28:50Speaker 1: own 48-yard line after that 17-yard scramble by Isaac Wilson.
- 2:28:54Speaker 1: Our game today brought to you by our friends at
- 2:28:56Speaker 1: CR England. This yardage update, Utah 411 yards, Colorado 291.
- 2:29:02Speaker 1: Utah had 254 at halftime. Been a struggle here in
- 2:29:06Speaker 1: the second half. Defense has come up with a couple
- 2:29:09Speaker 1: of takeaways, though. Bobo Chenault with that big interception on
- 2:29:13Speaker 1: the last drive.
- 2:29:14Speaker 3: Yeah, which is huge. And I think we can get
- 2:29:15Speaker 3: another takeaway right here on this drive.
- 2:29:19Speaker 2: Isaac Wilson is going to try to throw the ball
- 2:29:21Speaker 2: into coverage somewhere.
- 2:29:22Speaker 3: We just got to come away with the play.
- 2:29:26Speaker 1: Wilson and the Buffs, first and ten at their own
- 2:29:28Speaker 1: 48-yard line. Utah will play Houston next Saturday at Rice-Eckel Stadium.
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: We should have a kickoff time sometime later tonight. So
- 2:29:37Speaker 1: watch those Utah social media channels, UtahUtes.com, some of the
- 2:29:40Speaker 1: other social media channels, too, to get those kick times
- 2:29:43Speaker 1: for next Saturday. Houston won big today. Well, got a
- 2:29:45Speaker 1: big win, I should say, today at home against Oklahoma State.
- 2:29:48Speaker 1: First and ten. Trips to the right side here for Colorado.
- 2:29:52Speaker 1: Wilson changing the play now, moving a tight end to
- 2:29:55Speaker 1: the right-hand side as well. Watch that back leaking out
- 2:29:58Speaker 1: the backside of the left. Isaac backpedals to pass. Pressure coming, stepping,
- 2:30:03Speaker 1: throwing down the field. He's got a man open, caught.
- 2:30:06Speaker 1: That's Moore inside the 10. And down to the Utah
- 2:30:09Speaker 1: four-yard line. Got to be kidding me. DeAndre Moore got
- 2:30:12Speaker 1: behind Scooby Davis. And that's a big old pitch and
- 2:30:17Speaker 1: catch right there of 48 yards. First and goal, Colorado.
- 2:30:21Speaker 1: They're not done yet. Minute 45 to play.
- 2:30:25Speaker 5: Wilson.
- 2:30:26Speaker 1: Hands off Smith straight ahead, stacked up at the two
- 2:30:28Speaker 1: yard line and stopped right there and Colorado will take
- 2:30:31Speaker 1: a timeout or will they? They will not. Clock continues
- 2:30:34Speaker 1: to run. Unpiling the pile down below minute 35 to go.
- 2:30:40Speaker 1: Now 90 seconds to play second down in goal.
- 2:30:45Speaker 3: Who's guarding the receiver up top?
- 2:30:47Speaker 1: Nobody. He throws it in the end zone. That's an
- 2:30:49Speaker 1: easy touchdown. Nobody had the receiver at the top. That's
- 2:30:52Speaker 1: DeAndre Moore. This game's not over yet, folks. A minute
- 2:30:57Speaker 1: 21 to play. And Colorado with a PAT will be
- 2:31:00Speaker 1: down just three points.
- 2:31:07Speaker 3: Oh, man, this is such a head scratcher.
- 2:31:12Speaker 1: Let me put it this way. I'm not sure I'd
- 2:31:13Speaker 1: want to be in that defensive meeting room this week.
- 2:31:15Speaker 1: What about you?
- 2:31:18Speaker 3: I don't know about any meeting rooms. Offense ain't played
- 2:31:21Speaker 3: great either.
- 2:31:22Speaker 1: He plays 83 yards in 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
- 2:31:27Speaker 1: PAT to make it a 3-point game here with a
- 2:31:29Speaker 1: minute 21 to play. 3-point game with a minute 21
- 2:31:41Speaker 1: to play. Upright split. Onside kick coming here from Colorado.
- 2:31:46Speaker 1: The hands team will have to be out for Utah.
- 2:31:53Speaker 1: We're up here in the booth. Zach Moss is down
- 2:31:55Speaker 1: on the sideline. Go down to Zach for something. Zach,
- 2:31:59Speaker 1: what are you seeing? What did you see on those
- 2:32:02Speaker 1: last couple of plays?
- 2:32:04Speaker 3: I think we just got a little complacent there. I
- 2:32:05Speaker 3: thought the game was going to be over.
- 2:32:06Speaker 6: Got them in some obvious pass situations, and we just
- 2:32:09Speaker 6: blew a big-time coverage.
- 2:32:13Speaker 3: Yeah, which, I mean... Sideline.
- 2:32:18Speaker 1: Update brought to you by Ken Garth. We hear you.
- 2:32:21Speaker 1: I mean.
- 2:32:25Speaker 3: You're the right corner. How do you not look outside?
- 2:32:29Speaker 1: I mean, DeAndre Moore was standing all alone.
- 2:32:32Speaker 3: First of all, he was limping. He was limping. He
- 2:32:37Speaker 3: didn't have to do much.
- 2:32:39Speaker 8: I just.
- 2:32:42Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's always man coverage.
- 2:32:44Speaker 3: If you don't know the play, it's always man coverage.
- 2:32:46Speaker 1: Onside kick coming here for Colorado. Hands team up for Utah.
- 2:32:52Speaker 1: They're going to kick it. They get the big hop,
- 2:32:55Speaker 1: and it's gathered in by the Utes at midfield. Great catch.
- 2:33:01Speaker 1: Excellent catch out there. Oh, goodness. Who caught that? That
- 2:33:09Speaker 1: was big Brock. Who came down with that? And that
- 2:33:15Speaker 1: should do it here. Utah could take a couple of these.
- 2:33:18Speaker 1: Colorado's only got two timeouts remaining. Or you could choose
- 2:33:25Speaker 1: to hand it off to Way Sean Parker and try
- 2:33:27Speaker 1: and get him four yards in a 100-yard game. We'll
- 2:33:31Speaker 1: see what they decide to do. Way Sean's going to
- 2:33:35Speaker 1: be the wildcat here on first down and 10 for
- 2:33:38Speaker 1: the Colorado 49. Buffs all up at the line of scrimmage.
- 2:33:43Speaker 1: Wayshawn attacks and picks up about two to the 47-yard line.
- 2:33:49Speaker 1: He's at 98 yards now. Second down and eight coming up.
- 2:33:52Speaker 1: Colorado takes. Do they take a timeout? They don't take
- 2:33:56Speaker 1: a timeout. Now they finally do take a timeout.
- 2:33:58Speaker 3: Deion's pointing. He's just like, yo, put my timeout on
- 2:34:01Speaker 3: the clock.
- 2:34:02Speaker 1: I was wondering when they were going to stop that clock.
- 2:34:06Speaker 1: So a two yard game by way Sean Parker gets
- 2:34:09Speaker 1: into 98 on 23 carries not been an easy night
- 2:34:11Speaker 1: for him either, but he's worked hard. And Deion Sanders
- 2:34:15Speaker 1: takes one of his two remaining timeouts 2724. One thing
- 2:34:20Speaker 1: you just absolutely have to be here is ball secure sly.
- 2:34:24Speaker 1: The only thing that could hurt you right now if
- 2:34:26Speaker 1: you're Utah is a turnover.
- 2:34:28Speaker 3: Yeah, because they can get out of here. Get some
- 2:34:32Speaker 3: positive yards, maybe even on. Fourth down. punt it, and
- 2:34:37Speaker 3: that'll probably be it. But, of course, if you get
- 2:34:41Speaker 3: a first down, game's over. But, yeah, they have to.
- 2:34:47Speaker 3: Ball security is the only thing you need here.
- 2:34:51Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker checks out of the ballgame. Devin Dampier and
- 2:34:54Speaker 1: Daniel Bray in the backfield on second down and eight.
- 2:34:57Speaker 1: Minute 15 to play. Play clock at 18. Devin whispers
- 2:35:08Speaker 1: something to Daniel Gray. Now he takes the snap and
- 2:35:12Speaker 1: is going to keep it himself and roll to the
- 2:35:13Speaker 1: right-hand side. Devin Dampier is going to be sacked for
- 2:35:15Speaker 1: a loss. Bag of the Utah 49-yard line. He just
- 2:35:20Speaker 1: lost five yards. And Lampren with another tackle for loss.
- 2:35:25Speaker 1: Santana Hopper there as well. That's now nine tackles for
- 2:35:28Speaker 1: loss tonight for Colorado.
- 2:35:30Speaker 3: I just, I don't get, I don't get this play call.
- 2:35:35Speaker 1: It looked like he was going to try and maybe
- 2:35:38Speaker 1: throw it.
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: It was a throw, a play action roll out there,
- 2:35:42Speaker 2: but I'm just like.
- 2:35:45Speaker 1: Run the ball. Now you've got third down and 12.
- 2:35:47Speaker 3: He's trying to get that first down, which I understand.
- 2:35:52Speaker 3: I have no idea. Colorado's playing extremely well tonight. We
- 2:35:57Speaker 3: are not. It is the direct opposite.
- 2:36:03Speaker 1: Wayshawn Parker's back in the ballgame here for Utah. Colorado's
- 2:36:06Speaker 1: used their last time out. This is one of those
- 2:36:10Speaker 1: where you wrap both your arms around the football here
- 2:36:13Speaker 1: and run straight ahead.
- 2:36:14Speaker 3: Yeah, just give the ball to Wayshawn Parker. Run straight ahead.
- 2:36:20Speaker 1: Pistol formation, third down and 12. Devin throws it incomplete.
- 2:36:27Speaker 1: That stops the clock with a minute six to play.
- 2:36:32Speaker 1: This is a disastrous end to the game right now
- 2:36:35Speaker 1: for Utah. They're going to have to punt the football
- 2:36:37Speaker 1: away to Colorado, and the Buffs are going to get
- 2:36:40Speaker 1: it back with 50, 55 seconds left to play the
- 2:36:44Speaker 1: ball game.
- 2:36:47Speaker 2: I mean, I came into this football game, you know,
- 2:36:50Speaker 2: thinking that this Utah team is a top 10, top
- 2:36:53Speaker 2: 5 team.
- 2:36:55Speaker 3: The mistakes, the mental errors that we've made today.
- 2:37:00Speaker 1: So Ryan Phillips is going to punt it. Taylor's back
- 2:37:03Speaker 1: to receive it. I wouldn't give him a chance to
- 2:37:06Speaker 1: return this kick. It's high. It's end over end. That's
- 2:37:10Speaker 1: going to go check up at about the six-yard line.
- 2:37:18Speaker 1: But there's 56 seconds left to play. 27-24 Utes. Buffs
- 2:37:22Speaker 1: have it. No timeouts. First and 10 at their own.
- 2:37:27Speaker 1: Nine yard line. Utah bringing pressure on Isaac Wilson. He
- 2:37:30Speaker 1: throws the ball up the field behind his man who
- 2:37:33Speaker 1: was wide open. Oh goodness. Charlie Williams, the tight end,
- 2:37:35Speaker 1: was running by himself up the sideline and Wilson just
- 2:37:39Speaker 1: missed him. Incomplete.
- 2:37:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we would have caught him, but that
- 2:37:43Speaker 3: would have been like a 30-40 yard game.
- 2:37:47Speaker 1: Second down and 10 coming up here. 52 seconds to play.
- 2:37:51Speaker 1: Here we go. Three receivers left, a back and a receiver.
- 2:37:57Speaker 1: Five pass catchers in the formation for Isaac Wilson. Utah's
- 2:38:00Speaker 1: going to rush just four. They move Isaac to the outside.
- 2:38:02Speaker 1: He completes that pass to Joseph Williams, who stays inbounds.
- 2:38:06Speaker 1: Excellent open field tackle there by Utah's Elijah Reed. Short
- 2:38:10Speaker 1: gain on the play, 40, 39, 38, 37. Third down
- 2:38:12Speaker 1: and five here for Colorado. On their own 14-yard line.
- 2:38:20Speaker 1: Wilson again in the gun. Utah rushing just four. Throws
- 2:38:24Speaker 1: the fade up the sideline.
- 2:38:25Speaker 3: Caught.
- 2:38:27Speaker 1: Out at the 30-yard line. That's DeAndre Moore again. 23
- 2:38:32Speaker 1: seconds remain. First and 10, Colorado. They'll set the ball
- 2:38:35Speaker 1: and wind the clock. 22-21. They spike the football to Colorado.
- 2:38:43Speaker 1: The Buffs need to pick up about 35 yards. In
- 2:38:48Speaker 1: 20 seconds to get in field goal range, they've got
- 2:38:51Speaker 1: no timeouts. Second down and 10 coming up.
- 2:38:54Speaker 3: So they'll need to stay on the edges. Defense, we
- 2:38:57Speaker 3: just got to understand that.
- 2:38:59Speaker 2: So the two safeties that we've got in the game
- 2:39:01Speaker 2: right now, just understand that they're going to try to
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: attack the outside to keep everybody inbounds.
- 2:39:07Speaker 1: Second down and 10. Wilson out of the shotgun. Utah
- 2:39:10Speaker 1: rushing four again on Isaac Wilson. Down the field has
- 2:39:14Speaker 1: a man. Incomplete broken up. Jackson Benny there. To take
- 2:39:18Speaker 1: care of business as they tried to get that ball
- 2:39:20Speaker 1: to Joseph Williams. Third down coming up. Williams was open
- 2:39:24Speaker 1: for a minute. Isaac threw that ball just a little late. Otherwise,
- 2:39:27Speaker 1: that's a completion. Third down and 10. 14 seconds remain.
- 2:39:37Speaker 3: Yeah, tons of switch routes, tons of rub routes. They
- 2:39:42Speaker 3: are getting those on us.
- 2:39:43Speaker 1: Three receivers split out wide to the right-hand side. A
- 2:39:46Speaker 1: single receiver to the left. Back of the backfield with
- 2:39:48Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson on third down and 10. 14 seconds remain.
- 2:39:51Speaker 1: No timeouts. Williams comes in motion. Wilson to pass. Pressure coming.
- 2:39:55Speaker 1: He's going to step up and run away from it.
- 2:39:57Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson. He's got the 50. Flips it outside.
- 2:40:01Speaker 7: 40 and out of bounds at the Utah 37-yard line.
- 2:40:05Speaker 1: Utah claiming that was a forward pass. There's five seconds remaining.
- 2:40:11Speaker 1: Will they bring the field goal team out to try
- 2:40:13Speaker 1: to tie this game? They will.
- 2:40:21Speaker 7: It's going to be a 55-yard field goal attempt.
- 2:40:24Speaker 1: Is that a forward pass?
- 2:40:25Speaker 2: Yeah, Morgan's going to call timeout, and it'll give the
- 2:40:27Speaker 2: booth time to review that, but that was a forward
- 2:40:28Speaker 2: pass for sure.
- 2:40:29Speaker 3: They called it on us last week. That's definitely a
- 2:40:32Speaker 3: forward pass.
- 2:40:36Speaker 1: Yep, here they come with the review. It was a
- 2:40:39Speaker 1: heck of a scramble opportunity by Isaac Wilson, trying anything
- 2:40:42Speaker 1: you can to get that ball played.
- 2:40:43Speaker 2: But it's great because he got it to the sideline
- 2:40:46Speaker 2: where he could step out of bounds and everything.
- 2:40:48Speaker 3: It was just a great job.
- 2:40:49Speaker 1: Let's see this again. Here's the replay.
- 2:40:51Speaker 3: He throws it at his 46, and he catches it
- 2:40:56Speaker 3: around the 50. That's like a four-yard forward pass right there. See,
- 2:41:00Speaker 3: he's going forward.
- 2:41:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:41:04Speaker 1: That's 5'6. 70 yards.
- 2:41:07Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:41:08Speaker 1: That's a forward pass.
- 2:41:09Speaker 3: That's pretty bad.
- 2:41:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:41:12Speaker 1: This one's going to come back with five seconds remaining.
- 2:41:17Speaker 1: And my question is, is there a 10-second runoff, too,
- 2:41:20Speaker 1: because of the penalty?
- 2:41:23Speaker 3: I think it had to be a certain penalty. I'm
- 2:41:25Speaker 3: not sure about that. 10-second runoff, game's over. So that's great.
- 2:41:32Speaker 1: Either way. It was a heck of an improvisation by
- 2:41:36Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson, unfortunately, as we learned last week when Devin
- 2:41:39Speaker 1: and Bird tried that same thing. That one's going to
- 2:41:42Speaker 1: come back for a forward pass. Here's the referee with
- 2:41:46Speaker 1: the call.
- 2:41:48Speaker 4: After review, there's an illegal forward pass thrown by the
- 2:41:51Speaker 4: offense at the 46-yard line. It's a five-yard penalty from
- 2:41:56Speaker 4: that spot back to the 41. After enforcement, it results
- 2:42:01Speaker 4: in a first down for Colorado.
- 2:42:06Speaker 1: But no runoff, so five seconds remain. It's a Hail Mary.
- 2:42:09Speaker 4: The play was an out-of-bounds run. The clock will start
- 2:42:11Speaker 4: on the snap.
- 2:42:13Speaker 1: Final play of the ball game here for Isaac Wilson.
- 2:42:15Speaker 1: Takes the snap and backpedals. Pressure coming, throwing to the outside.
- 2:42:19Speaker 1: It's caught by Williams and out of bounds with two
- 2:42:21Speaker 1: seconds remaining. So now you've given yourself a better shot
- 2:42:26Speaker 1: at a Hail Mary. Isaac Wilson backpedals. Four-man rush coming.
- 2:42:29Speaker 1: Pressure off the edge on Isaac. He's going to step
- 2:42:32Speaker 1: up and heave it toward the end zone. That ball
- 2:42:34Speaker 1: is up and incomplete, and that is the ballgame. Utah
- 2:42:38Speaker 1: survives here in Boulder by a final score of 27-24.
- 2:42:44Speaker 1: Utah rallied late and held on, and they remain perfect
- 2:42:48Speaker 1: on the season at 6-0.
