It's a big one today. Two teams that have been
0:34
spectacular so far but haven't been tested just yet.
0:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna learn a lot about both these teams today.
0:41
And it's the question mark is just the competition. But
0:44
the results have been phenomenal. And it's always about up front.
0:47
You know, Texas Tech bought their front defensive line. Utah
0:51
has built their front offensive line from within. We'll see
0:55
which is better buy or built will be a that's
0:58
gonna be the determining fact. And of course you got
1:00
two dynamic quarterbacks. One throws the heck of the ball
1:04
from the pocket and the other one moves around and
1:07
throws the heck of the ball out of the pocket.
1:08
We'll see which which style wins today. And of course
1:12
this crowd is going to play into it. It's electricic,

1:29
to be.

2:28
for this one today. The Muscingful Effect eight thousand plus
2:31
ready to go, and so are we. Harrington has it
2:34
teed up. He approaches, puts a right foot into it,
2:37
drives it high and end over end, and that will
2:39
be a touchback and Utah will be in first and
2:42
ten at their own twenty five yard line at Scott Mitchell.
2:45
We see Devin Dampier take the field in the biggest
2:47
game of his career.
2:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how Utah techs
2:52
Texas Tech early. Is it gonna be a lot of
2:54
Devin Dan Beer, Damn Pierre. Is it gonna be the
2:56
run pass option? What is it going to be Are
2:59
they going to try to Establis to run and establish
3:01
dominance up front?
3:02
Speaker 1: This should be interesting to see how Utah handles this.
3:04
Right out of the gate, the offense comes to the
3:06
veil brought to you by butt light. Easy to drink it,
3:08
easy to enjoy way. Sean Parker stands to the left
3:11
of Devin damp Pier. Two receivers and two tight ends
3:15
here for Utah. Ryan Davis comes in motion. Four man
3:18
down look here for the Texas Tech Red Raiders is
3:21
to play. Clock ticks to four. Damp Pierre claps his hands,
3:24
takes the handoff, and gives it the way Sean Parker,
3:27
who runs straight ahead for a game of about two
3:29
to the twenty seven yard line. Tackle on the play
3:32
by the large noseguard Lee Hunter from UCF. It's a
3:35
two yard.
3:36
Speaker 2: Game, yeah, and it looks like it's gonna be run early.
3:39
Here had a nice haul.
3:40
Speaker 1: It just closed up a little bit, a little bit
3:42
more explosive. That could have been a big game. They'll
3:44
give him actually three on the play, second down at seven,
3:46
Parker stays at the ball game. They flects three receivers
3:49
in the pattern now and a tight end. Devin out
3:52
of the shotgun. Is still a four man down front
3:54
here for Texas. Tech man comes in motion and now
3:58
they run the end to the wide receiver Davis, who
4:01
picks his way forward. Actually it was Jackson Benny who
4:04
picks his way forward for about a yard to the
4:06
twenty nine. That was a direct snapped away Sean Parker
4:09
who then handed the ball off to Benny. The dog
4:12
backer Carell Tilman made the tackle. Third down and long
4:15
coming up here for Utah. Third down at six. They'll
4:19
go with some tempo here on third down for the
4:21
twenty nine yard line. A passing down for Utah. Four
4:25
pass catchers in the formation. Tight end comes into the
4:27
right slot. Debit looks to pass, throws to the outside,
4:30
caught by Davis. He's going to be short. He got
4:32
to the thirty two and that was it. They sat
4:34
on that short route. They squatted on that short route.
4:36
Utah's gonna have to punt here early. Yeah, Utah just
4:39
didn't really get enough going in that early.
4:42
Speaker 2: First two plays, didn't get enough out of the run there,
4:44
and then they only had the short pass.
4:46
Speaker 1: Kind of a bend, don't break defense that just.
4:48
Speaker 2: Kind of said, we'll give you everything close and up up.
4:51
Speaker 1: In front of us. But we're not going to give
4:52
anything down the field. Jentrey on to retard the butter.
4:54
Ryan Phillips out. He's averaging about forty two yards of
4:57
kick this year. He'll stand and kick from a about
5:00
his own eighteen yard line. Gentry on the season averaging
5:03
at about nine yards a return. Tech won't come after
5:06
this kick. Filps with plenty of time, gets it away.
5:09
It's good kick, high and wobbling, but deep. Gentry's gonna
5:12
fair catch it in about the fifteen yard line. So
5:15
the punting team and special teams do their job and
5:18
Utah's offense goes three and out. Now we get to
5:20
see Baron Norton after the fifty three yard punt, the
5:23
red shirt senior at quarterback for Texas Tech. The north
5:26
end zone gets loud. He comes out, coming off a
5:29
four hundred and sixty four yard and four touchdown performance
5:32
a week to go against Oregon State.
5:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, this defense really has to be aggressive. You gotta
5:37
be physical. You can't just let him run free down
5:40
the field, and gotta get pressure on the quarterback.
5:42
Speaker 1: Jacoby Williams, he's the tailback. Three receivers in the pattern
5:46
you got to keep an eye on the tight end
5:47
as well. That's John Carlos Miller for the Texas Tech fifteen.
5:53
Utah shifts around five of the line of scrimmage. They
5:55
get a Chase Farren Morton down and he's gonna get
5:57
dropped right at the line of scrimmage to haul reddit. Well,
6:01
that was an awkward play. He decided to pull that
6:03
ball from the tail back and picked up nothing on
6:05
first don Yes.
6:06
Speaker 2: And kind of awkward there. You know, Mortin's not the
6:08
guy necessarily is going to be the guy who runs.
6:10
So that's a good good sign for Utah. They go
6:12
with tempo.
6:13
Speaker 1: On second down at ten, Morton fires to the outside,
6:16
caught dropped immediately at the twenty yard line. Smith Notteon
6:19
had the coverage on the outside. Redgie Virgil was the
6:22
wide receiver. Third down in five coming up. I like
6:25
the aggressive play. Utah's in a tight man coverage right
6:28
off the gate. Got a play man Jacoby Williams. Watch
6:32
him here on third down. He is an outstanding pass
6:35
catcher out of the backfield. You'll have to account for him.
6:38
Third down at five for the Red Raiders. As it
6:40
gets loud here at Rice ecles Utah with four at
6:44
the line of scrimmage, they'll rush just four and there's
6:47
motion and that's going on Texas Tech. And that is
6:50
a credit to the north end zone.
6:52
Speaker 2: They forced the false start.
6:54
Speaker 1: From the seventeen offense five yard credits in third down.
7:01
And that was the big difference in this game was
7:03
the home crowd.
7:04
Speaker 2: And you're seeing the impact of the home crowd right
7:07
here early in this game.
7:08
Speaker 1: Third down and ten, Layton Stone call for the procedure
7:11
penalty and it gets loud again. Utah and a rush
7:14
just four, played coverage behind an empty backfield. Now for
7:18
Baron Morton, he back pedals to pass, steps throws fires
7:23
over the middle. That's gonna be first down yardage thirty
7:26
thirty five Williams still on his feet forty lookout fifty
7:30
forty five, forty thirty five thirty Jacoby Williams to the
7:33
Utah twenty fifteen and down, still on his feet, ten and.
7:38
Speaker 2: Down at the twelve yard line. An absolute coverage break
7:44
by Utah and a gigantic playto Johnson finally made the
7:48
tackle for Utah seventy three yards on the play, I
7:51
just put Jacobe Williams out in the slot and that
7:54
his guy got picked off. It was kind of a
7:57
pick route there and his defender got picked off and turned.
8:00
Speaker 1: Out to be a big play that I can't give
8:02
him up. That should have been an easy play underneath
8:05
ten yards. Dickie of the ball game. Now on first
8:07
in ten from the twelve yard line of Utah, Baron
8:12
Morton backpedals to pass, looking firing towards the end zone,
8:16
nobody there. In complete untatchable pass, trying to get it
8:19
to his tight end, Terrence Carter, the All Sunbuilt League
8:22
tight end out of Louisiana. Second down coming up. Yeah,
8:25
really well played here, Nate Ritchie.
8:27
Speaker 2: They're trying to swing the back out of the backfield
8:29
and he maintains his leverage and then they have the
8:31
tight end double cover.
8:32
Speaker 1: There's nowhere for Martin to throw the ball second down
8:35
in ten down for the Utah twelve. After the seventy
8:38
three yard playing on third down in ten, Dicky stays
8:41
in the ball game. Is the tailback two tights and
8:44
two wides here for Baron Morton. Morton's gonna hand it
8:50
to Dicky and he's gonna be dropped behind the line
8:53
of scrimmage. Excellent played by Trey Reynolds, the linebacker. It's
8:59
gonna be down and long now for Texas Tech. Great
9:02
d form the back side.
9:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, that defense in front is real active and they're
9:05
really getting good pressure.
9:06
Speaker 1: That's a good sign for Utah. Now they're gonna throw
9:10
third down and call it the eleven back in the backfield,
9:14
Cameron Dickie three wide to the left hand side, tight
9:17
end to the right hand side. Utah will play man
9:20
coverage outside Barren Morton. In the shotgun. He'll pass on
9:25
a play action looking scrambling to the outside, firing over
9:29
the middle, tin a man wide open, duking and driving
9:31
to the two to the one yard line, goes Cameron Dickie.
9:34
It'll be first in goal Texas deck. They did not
9:37
account for the tailback.
9:38
Speaker 2: Now, they were getting good pressure and the back just
9:41
slips out late and just Morton finds him late there, kid,
9:45
they don't get to it.
9:46
Speaker 1: First down in goal Texas Tech. Dicky stays in the
9:48
ball game. Morton, who rarely goes under center, upper eats
9:52
out of the shotgun, hand off Dicky end zone touchdown.
9:57
That was easy for Texas Tech. They moved eighty five
10:01
yards after a seventy three yard third down and ten
10:04
play and the Red Raiders strike early here and sold it.
10:07
Speaker 2: Big answer for Texas Tech. And of course it's about
10:10
those big plays.
10:10
Speaker 1: You can't give them up.
10:11
Speaker 2: And they just Utah was in man coverage on that
10:14
third down and the defender just got caught up in.
10:17
Speaker 1: The screen and it caused the big play.
10:18
Speaker 2: And you just got to eliminate those big plays in
10:21
this situation.
10:22
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go man, you gotta get to the cornerback.
10:23
Twice they lost the back on third down. Once it
10:26
was Dicky, once it was Williams for seventy three yards.
10:30
Pat coming up here, it's on its way and it's
10:36
good bell and Font knocks it through. It's seven nothing, TC,
10:40
I said Texas Tech with ten thirteen to play here
10:43
the first quarter at Rise ecl Stadium, a statement early
10:46
by the Red Raiders. Our game today being brought to
10:48
you by America First Credit Union and by Great Clips.
10:51
I want to get you in out and back to
10:52
greatness at Great Clips. It's gonna be great. Seven oh.
10:55
The Red Raiders back to Rice ecl Stadium. Next it's
10:58
Utah Football for ESPN seven hundred at the Youth Sports
11:01
Radio Network seven nothing Texas six seventh plays eighty five yards,
11:05
three oh one off the play clock. The big play
11:07
was a seventy three yard pass to the tailback out
11:10
of the backfield on third down slide. What happened on
11:12
that drive? Quarterback?
11:17
Speaker 3: But when you go empty in man coverage, the whole player,
11:20
which is the linebacker, becomes ever so important.
11:23
Speaker 1: When that receiver comes on then under route, he has
11:25
to take them.
11:26
Speaker 3: Jonah Hall didn't take them. They richly expected Jonah Hall
11:29
to take them, so they just dropped them. And we
11:31
talked about Dakobe Williams feed in the pregame.
11:33
Speaker 1: He is electric.
11:34
Speaker 3: You cannot let him get started. Both checkdown routes were
11:37
to the running back. It's not Texas Tech, it's us
11:39
with mental mistakes.
11:40
Speaker 1: He had one hundred and sixteen yards receiving it a
11:42
touchdown last week. He's got seventy three already today. Thank you.
11:45
That sideline up they brought to you by Ken Garf.
11:48
We hear you so seven up that Utah is now
11:50
gonna have to answer playing from behind for the first
11:52
time all year long? Is Utah? We'll see how Jason
11:55
Beck and damn the damp Pierre answer here, Rayshawn Glover
11:58
back deep to receive the own Harrington kick. It's a
12:01
great name, by the way, Stone Harrington should be a linebacker,
12:03
not a kicker. The end zone. It goes first in
12:06
ten Utah at the twenty five yard live, today's broadcast
12:10
and today's offense to the field, brought to you by
12:12
butt light. Easy to drink it, easy to enjoy. How
12:14
BIG's this drive right now for the Utah offense. It's huge.
12:16
Speaker 2: And I talked about momentum in the in the pregame,
12:19
and when you play good teams, they're gonna make big plays.
12:22
Texas Tech made a big play. Now you got to
12:24
answer back with your own big play.
12:26
Speaker 1: Smith snote. Smith's note the tail back of the backfield
12:29
here for Utah on first and tent two receivers to
12:32
the right hand side, one to the left hand side.
12:34
Texas Tech just showing that four man down front. They
12:38
motioned Smith's note. Now damp Peer, looking time over the middle,
12:42
throws out to the thirty on his feed thirty one
12:44
thirty two yard line goes Ryan Davis, his favorite target.
12:47
Davis has two catches already today, picks up seven on
12:50
first down. Is Newski, the pre safety made the tackle.
12:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, Devin got to his fifth read there, which was
12:56
nice break protection.
12:57
Speaker 1: They're sitting back in the zone. You're gonna have those
12:59
plays all day long. You can nickel and dime them
13:02
in that zone. We'll see what they do here on
13:04
second and three, and Er Andrews takes the hand off.
13:07
He moves forward beyond the thirty five to the thirty
13:09
seven yard light. He picks up five yards. Hunter Andrews
13:13
coming in motion, takes the hand off. It gets the
13:14
first down for Utah. Yeah.
13:16
Speaker 2: What made that play was what a great surge by
13:18
that offensive line. I mean they really came off the
13:20
balls almost like this offense wasn't awake on the first drive,
13:23
but they seem awake here in this second drive.
13:25
Speaker 1: Two receivers of the left hand side, two tight ends
13:28
of the formation as well, Scote and stays in a
13:30
tailback Devin Dampier hands dismissed. Oat picks his way forward,
13:35
spins out of one tackle and then another, and he
13:37
picks up three yards back to about the forty yard line.
13:40
Britain and Shorten the strong safety up to make the
13:42
tackle for the Red Raiders.
13:44
Speaker 2: Utah is kind of attacking this edge and not a
13:46
lot going on there. It feels like maybe up up
13:49
the middle ish in between the tackles is the best
13:52
spot for you.
13:52
Speaker 1: Thought to run. Gotta be to move those two big
13:54
defensive tackles inside though, to do that. Second down in
13:57
seven added motion Davis. They pump one way and look
14:00
the other way. Devin Dampier is gonna dump it off.
14:02
It's caught, but no gain on the play by Hunter Andrews.
14:06
He'll get back to the line of scrimmage and that
14:08
is it. Third down and long coming up here for Utah.
14:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, that play kind of got blown up from the beginning.
14:14
They had a sky in motion and he knocked off
14:17
the screen here, which really caused the play to kind of.
14:19
Speaker 1: Get blown up. Andrews days in the ball game. Third
14:22
down and seven here they're oh for one. On third down,
14:25
damp Pier's gonna look to the sideline, change to play.
14:28
With about eighteen on the play clock, plenty of time here.
14:31
Three wide receivers in the pattern for Utah. Five man
14:34
rush this time. Devon's gonna run it up the field.
14:36
He goes forty five, spinning two very close to first
14:39
down yard each at the forty six and a half
14:41
yard line. Now it's decision time for Kyle Whittingham half
14:44
a yard shy on fourth down. Yeah, I don't think
14:46
there's much of a decision. Clearly they're going to go
14:48
from it from the beginning. And these are those plays
14:51
you know, that make the difference.
14:52
Speaker 4: In the game, the fields short of the line to
14:55
gain it's fourth down, fourth.
14:57
Speaker 1: Out at almost a full yard here they bring in
14:59
the jumbo package now that we've seen all year long.
15:02
Will they run straight ahead or what will they do?
15:04
Who's the tailback on the play? Rogers has been their
15:07
short yardage back and he's in right now. Texas Tech
15:14
crowds the line of scrimmage and flags fly and what
15:17
do we have? A time out taken by Texas Tech?
15:18
Speaker 5: Oh?
15:19
Speaker 1: Interesting, and we'll take the time out with them. With
15:23
seven thirty seven to play here in the first test,
15:25
their first time out of the half. Hey, Utah fans,
15:29
stop on the build your next travel experience with the
15:31
utes with bookseats dot com and start planning today. Seven
15:35
thirty seven to play in the first seven I think
15:37
Texas Tech and this is Utah football from ESPN seven
15:39
hundred at the youth Sports Radio Network Jersey.
15:43
Speaker 2: Mike Sproud sponsor in Houstaf Football. They are at sub
15:46
above Scott.
15:48
Speaker 1: Mitchell Foard's down in short here. What do you want
15:50
to say, Well, you know.
15:52
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to take Paul at dem
15:54
dem Pair's hands into situation. Oft times, big plays happen
15:57
on third and fourth down and short. You just gotta
15:59
be will to call them Texas Tech. They're gonna want
16:02
to stop the run right here and get the ball
16:04
back on a short field. So I would expect to
16:06
maybe a little play action roll out something that gets
16:09
Devin down Pier a lot of options.
16:11
Speaker 1: The big defensive tackle, sem Me tal Long get In
16:13
is the up back full back, a blocking back on
16:16
this play at Scot that in almost a full yard
16:18
from the Utah forty six yard line. Quickly did the
16:20
line of scrimmage comes Utah Rogers in the backfield. They
16:25
hand to Rogers. He spinns second effort. He's very close
16:30
to it. I think they're gonna give him the first down.
16:31
There official on his side I think has it marked
16:34
as a first down for Utah. I don't know. One
16:39
guy's looks like it. One guy there short, I think
16:45
they're gonna measure this. I think they're gonna measure this
16:49
and take a look at it. I think that's a
16:51
bad spot. I thought he got further forward than that.
16:53
What did you think?
16:54
Speaker 2: Scott sure felt that way, you know, initially maybe not,
16:56
but he bounced back again. You know, they just had
16:59
the whole world over there on the power formation. I
17:02
just think something out of the backfield might have been
17:04
a better call right there.
17:07
Speaker 1: This is a huge fourth down the chain gang coming
17:11
out right now to take a look at it. Slack
17:19
being given. He didn't get it. He's short Texas Tech.
17:22
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I don't know if there's a if there's
17:28
a replay on it that shows a better.
17:30
Speaker 1: There's a look at it on the jumbo tron right there. Boy,
17:33
it looked to me like you got passed it from
17:35
that review on the scoreboard. Yeah, it really did look
17:39
like he stretched just beyond the forty seven yard line. Yeah,
17:42
no question. If I'm Kyle winning him, I think about
17:47
taking a time out here, letting them take a look
17:49
at display.
17:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. And the official on the side where the
17:52
back was had the call.
17:54
Speaker 1: They're not going to do it. It's first in ten
17:56
Texas Tech of the Utah forty six and a half
17:58
yard line leading seven to nothing. Danger time here for
18:01
Utah early flags fly and movement up front. I believe
18:05
against Texas.
18:06
Speaker 4: Tech false start number seventy six offense five yard pendle
18:11
so Fas started.
18:12
Speaker 1: Left guard due to early it'll be backed up five
18:15
yards into Texas Tech territory first in fifteen. But first
18:18
and long does not bother the Red Raiders. Now that's
18:21
just a good starting point. Camera Dickie the tail back
18:25
here on first and fifteen for the Red Raider forty eight.
18:30
Utaw crowds the line right now. Baron Morton throws the
18:33
flankers screen to the outside tight ends. Got it. He
18:36
picks up short yardage to about the forty nine yard line.
18:39
John ou Hall was out there to take down Terrence Carter.
18:42
Second down and long coming up. Yeah, slow developing, great
18:45
reed by Nate Ritchie.
18:46
Speaker 2: He really forced the play to turn back to the
18:49
inside and then everyone rallied the ball nicely.
18:51
Speaker 1: They're gonna go quick now well, Texas Tech. Morton's gonna
18:54
pass pressure coming off the edge. He's being chased. He
18:56
dumps it to Dickey in the open field. He's being
18:59
chased by Logan five Dick, you'll be chased down for
19:01
behind at about the forty one yard line. It's going
19:04
to be a pick up of about nine on the play.
19:06
Third down at about four coming up here for Texas Tech. Again,
19:09
the backs out of the backfield.
19:12
Speaker 2: Was a pretty good play by Logan Funnel. I mean,
19:14
he's the defensive end and they kind of switched responsibilities
19:17
as safety rush, but that open field tackle was pretty impressive.
19:20
Speaker 1: Red Raiders two for two On third down, they have
19:23
a third down and almost five yards to go. Movement
19:29
up front for Barren Morton keeps to himself and he's
19:32
going to be dropped back of the forty five yard line.
19:34
That's going to be a loss of four more yards.
19:37
Jonah Aa got him and fourth down coming up, and
19:40
I'd be surprised if Tech went Ford here, especially the
19:43
way their defense is playing.
19:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean it's just been some mis assignments.
19:46
This defense has played pretty tough, and it's really been
19:48
the pressure that they've got from this front four on
19:51
the defensive line for Utah, great answer right there on
19:54
that defense turnover.
19:56
Speaker 1: That's huge fourth down and nine the punts are on.
19:59
Now that's Jack Burgess Ray Shawn Glover plants his feet
20:03
of his own ten yard line Burgess, averaging about forty
20:07
six yards of kick this year, high and end over end.
20:10
Glover's gonna fair and catch it with a man in
20:12
his face at about the eleven yard line. Here's the flag.
20:16
Fair catch interference is gonna be called. I think they're
20:19
gonna get the defensive back Mury and Horn on that
20:24
number four. It's either Horne or the wide receiver TJ. West,
20:27
one of the two was down there. It is gonna
20:29
be a flag on Texas.
20:30
Speaker 4: T four kicking team fifteen yard penalty at the end
20:35
of the plants first out.
20:37
Speaker 1: That's a big penalty. Instead of the eleven yard line,
20:39
it's the twenty six yard line and we've got a
20:41
time out on the field five forty six to play.
20:43
The Utah defense not bad so far. The Utah offense
20:47
gotta get moving. This is Utah Football from ESPN seven
20:50
hundred Youth Sports Radio Network mack and by Single Stadium
20:53
Domingos Tires broadcast mooton Bill Riley, Scott Mitchell upstairs with him.
20:57
Seven O think Texas tech book teams have had two drives.
21:00
Tech's got a touchdown Utah, not so much. Ninety seven
21:03
yards for the Red Raiders, twenty eight for Utah. A
21:06
pregame and game today being brought to you by the
21:08
Utah Campus Doore, the official retailer of the U. Visit
21:10
the Ukah Campus store today or chambon line at store
21:13
dot Utah dot edu. Two drives. Not much for the
21:17
Utah offense. What do you want to see here, Scott?
21:19
Speaker 2: I want to see him take a shot? Look you
21:20
getting quarters coverage every time. I used to love quarters
21:25
coverage if you knew what you were getting. Their shot
21:27
plays and I think you Day's got to take it.
21:29
And that's what a wide receiver deep down the middle
21:31
of the field.
21:32
Speaker 1: Two wide to the right side. They've got the big fella,
21:35
the defensive teckle. How long get in is the blocking
21:38
back for Wayshan Parker? Maybe this is play action and
21:41
a shot to the outside Jackson Benny outside, Ryan Davis
21:47
outside of what do we have movement against Utah? Right
21:49
side players information offense? Five yard penalty first out, twelve
21:55
players on offense. You never see that well.
21:58
Speaker 2: And coming out of a break, I mean that's like
22:01
that's a total miscommunication play there.
22:03
Speaker 1: It was the defensive tackle who was the twelfth man.
22:06
He still thought it was fourth down, so first down
22:09
at fifteen. Now as he checks out of the game,
22:11
way Sean Parker in is the tailback. Lander Barton in
22:15
the right slot is the tied end here for Utah.
22:18
Texas Tech crowding the line of scrimmage. They hand the
22:20
ball to way Sean Parker of on the edge. Wayshan's
22:22
got the twenty twenty five and twenty six yard line.
22:27
Picks up five on first down. Nothing wrong with that.
22:29
Jacob Rodriguez, the quarterback turn linebacker, makes the tackle for
22:33
Texas Tech. Yeah, and this is nice play, you know,
22:36
kind of getting the penalty yards back, but it's got
22:38
to hit quick if you're going to run the ball.
22:41
Ben he's split wide to the left hand side. He's
22:43
the deep thread here. On second down and nine, Devin
22:47
to throw long pass to the outside, caught by Ryan
22:50
Davis out to the thirty one yard line five four yards.
22:52
Good catch. That was not an easy pass or throw
22:55
to catch. Davis came up with it. John Curry had
22:58
the tackle. Third down and we'll call it about six
23:00
down for Utah.
23:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you see Tech getting a little aggressive, just
23:04
use that aggressive take.
23:05
Speaker 1: Take a shot down the field. Utah on third down
23:09
today zero for two, Benny in motion, damp here, looking
23:15
down the field, growing down the field. He's got Benny
23:17
behind the defense.
23:18
Speaker 6: Tat twenty five, twenty fifty tach five. It's a Utah touchdown,
23:25
Jackson Benny sixty nine yards into the north end zone.
23:33
Speaker 1: We have a flag, and I think it's on Jackson
23:36
Benny for turning up field too soon. Here's the call.
23:45
I don't know they're coming back. Nobody's celebrating.
23:49
Speaker 2: They're still talking about. Maybe they're looking for the number.
23:53
Speaker 1: Yep ineligible man downfield player downfield, number fifty five.
23:58
Speaker 4: Awesome, this five yard field replayer stuck a third down.
24:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that should never happen like that.
24:05
This is clearly a pass the whole time. I don't,
24:08
I don't, I don't see where is he down there?
24:10
He is, Oh, he's way down field. Logan Fana, what
24:13
the fauna are you doing out there? I mean that
24:15
that's crazy. I mean, he's this up, this up.
24:18
Speaker 1: He was fifteen yards down field.
24:20
Speaker 2: That wasn't even a hard call for the official. Goodness gracious,
24:24
but that's about.
24:25
Speaker 1: Just doing your job and not everyone else's. Parker stays
24:30
of the ball game. It's third down and ten down
24:32
for Utah. Can they overcome the mistake as he did
24:35
a week ago? Damn Pier to throw Devin looking throwing
24:38
down the field. Oh that's pass interference. There you go,
24:41
you bet you. They were all over. Who was that?
24:44
That was Brendan Jordan. Brendan Jordan to safety all over,
24:47
Larry Simmons. That's gonna be a ten yard penalty the
24:50
first down. Yeah. I love the Devin. He's really hung
24:53
in the pocket there for that whole play. Give us
24:57
a receiver a chance.
25:00
Speaker 2: Excell at work by the wide receiver Simmons and by
25:03
the quarterback damp Pier.
25:04
Speaker 1: Here's our referee say.
25:06
Speaker 4: It's number seven defense, fifteen yard penalty.
25:09
Speaker 1: Automatic first hot. I go Vanderbilt our referee, our big
25:12
twelve referee today. That will move the ball out, thankfully
25:16
for Utah, all the way to the forty one yard
25:19
line of the first out.
25:20
Speaker 2: Well, penalty has been your friend and your enemy on
25:23
this drive here. I still he's got to take a
25:24
shot over the middle of the field. These safeties are
25:27
getting real aggressive, like you saw right.
25:28
Speaker 1: There, Parker. The tailback on first and ten, You're gonna
25:34
run the speed option to the outside. Damp Pier pitches
25:36
behind Parker. Who falls on it? Or does he? He does? Oh,
25:40
that was almost disastrous. That ball got out on the
25:43
late pitch. They're gonna pick up about three yards for
25:45
the forty four. May have been tipped on the on
25:47
the on the pitch on the outside that time.
25:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Devin, he should have pitched it earlier there,
25:52
but just it was too too late on the pitch.
25:54
He had something maybe a little bit earlier, something had
25:57
ut hasn't done a lot yet and the execution wasn't great.
26:00
Speaker 1: Three yard game though. As they recover that fumble, good
26:02
work by way Sean Parker. Now Tech crawdic the line
26:04
of scrimmage on second down and seven grow to the outside.
26:07
Ryan Davis catches fifty and Dann Fofo. Tech's gonna get
26:11
it or was he down? Utah's only hope is he
26:15
was down. Curry recovered it at the Tech forty six
26:19
recovered by the defense first down. Let's see if let's
26:22
see if Ryan Davis was down. Was his knee down
26:26
before the ball came out? Nope, that's a fumble and
26:32
a turnover gives it back to Texas Tech at their
26:36
own forty six yard line. It's Tech football with three
26:39
p fifty four to play here in the first quarter.
26:41
Utah has been its own worst enemy here in its
26:44
first quarter offensively, penalties and now the turnover on the
26:48
utes and that play had some nice to it as well.
26:50
He did a nice job running after the catch that It
26:52
was a great playing and those are plays you gotta
26:55
have happened. You've got to secure that ball no matter
26:56
what time out on the field. We're back to ry
26:58
Ekel Stadium. Next se nothing Texas Tech and this is
27:02
Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred, the Youth Sports Radio Network,
27:06
Back and rise that Gold Stadium first Hamity Rush you
27:08
by C. R. England helping to fight childhood hunger since
27:12
twenty eighteen, they fit thirteen million kids. You want to
27:14
help them out in Texa. Feed Utah kids to forty
27:16
one four four four Today you're tahn a touchdown, take
27:19
it off the board by a penalty down the field
27:22
on alignment and then Bryan Davis fumbled and gave it
27:25
back to Texas Tech at their own forty six and
27:28
they're gonna take a shot right here. Guaranteed four receivers
27:31
to Kobe Williams in the Backfie had watched Williams on
27:33
a wheel route because he can run. Utah's really only
27:37
rushed four most of the day today so far. Three
27:40
fifty four to play here at the first quarter seven
27:42
to nothing. Texas tech Baron Morton in the shotgun, two
27:47
left and two riders wide receivers. Now they move a
27:49
tight end into the slot. They bring the formation into
27:53
a bunch now and Moreton straight back to pass. Lots
27:56
of time over the middle through the hands that in complete.
27:58
Try to get that ball to Reggie Virgil. Good coverage
28:01
on the play by Lander Bark followed him across the formation.
28:04
Speaker 2: That's all you had to do on that third down
28:06
right there. But great job is it was so much
28:09
in the secondary. Utah really had these receivers plastered. Just
28:13
made it really tough to throw a ball anywhere.
28:15
Speaker 1: Second down in ten trips to the left hand side,
28:18
split wide to the left hand side down, watch that
28:21
flank or screen. They bring a hand in motion. Now
28:25
he's gonna pass again. Pressure coming up the middle. Bell
28:27
down the field is juggleig put picked up intercepted.
28:32
Speaker 6: It's intercepted. Tao Johnson put the interception off to the
28:36
flets and you TOAs got it back heads up, play off.
28:40
Speaker 1: The fingers of Reggie Virgil and into the waiting arms
28:43
and Tao.
28:44
Speaker 2: Johnson, Well, this is all about what you teach defense,
28:49
and that's to run to the football. Tayo Johnson's in centerfield.
28:52
The ball's thrown and he runs over and you never
28:55
know what's gonna happen.
28:56
Speaker 1: The ball's underthrown. It gets knocked up in the air
28:58
right here, and he's right he should be to make
29:00
the interception. Lake Cotton did a really good job getting
29:03
his hand in there at the last second to deflect
29:06
in so Utah catches a break, turns it back over
29:09
first and ten at their own thirty.
29:12
Speaker 2: Rogers in the ballgame is a tail back now he.
29:14
Speaker 1: Motions out five receivers in the pattern flankers screen that
29:17
Smith's note, picks his way up the sideline thirty five
29:21
and belt it down by the tie the star linebacker
29:24
John Curry after a gain of five.
29:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, good blocking there. Initially it's two. Matt Smith could
29:29
just slip right up that scene. Just boom coat and
29:32
that safety comes up there. All the bad guys come
29:35
from the inside, so don't run in the middle.
29:37
Speaker 1: Smith Lacari Rodgers stays in as a tailback on second
29:40
and five for the thirty five wide receiver comes in
29:44
motion blanker screen again to Snow and spins out of
29:46
a tackle out to the thirty eight three yard game.
29:49
Jacob Rodriguez the will linebacker there. Third down and two coming.
29:53
Speaker 2: Up, really using a lot of smith snown in here,
29:55
and it's gonna be interesting to see how that goes
29:58
throughout the game because.
29:59
Speaker 1: He's got biggest it's covering those guys on defense. Big
30:04
Moie Aki comes in the ball game as a almost
30:08
third tight end. Third down in two. Now they're gonna
30:11
motion people across. Smith Stoke comes back in. Now they've
30:14
got to hold the ball for subs. They're going for
30:16
Texas down here. Utah is gonna have to call time
30:18
out because Tech's gonna take their time. Yep, I get it.
30:22
Tech doing to Utah what Utah does to other teams.
30:25
Four seconds, three sevens, two seconds. Devin dan Pierre keeps
30:29
it forward first down yardage beyond the forty to the
30:32
forty one. They got it off just as the play
30:34
flock expired. Finally a third down conversion for Utah. I
30:38
mere boyd. The corner made the tackle first and ten.
30:41
Speaker 2: Utah could be huge down the road, you know, to
30:43
preserve that time out.
30:45
Speaker 1: You never know what's gonna happen toward the end of
30:46
the half. Two ten to play clock running here the
30:49
first quarter seven to nothing, Texas tech as Utah throws
30:51
mass subs into the ball game. JJ Buchanan lines up
30:55
is a wide receiver of the left hand side. First
30:59
down in ten for the forty two. TeX's really rushed
31:02
just score today dropping those linebackers. Devan's gonna keep it
31:05
on the outside again. He's gonna turn it to the
31:07
outside forty five and down to about the forty seven
31:11
forty eight yard line for a game of six. Boy,
31:13
if he bounced that one more time, he might have
31:15
been around that edge. Yeah, and they did get around
31:17
the edge. I mean, that's a nice seven yard game,
31:19
six yard game there, and it's.
31:20
Speaker 2: All just because people blocking sustained blocks all the way through.
31:24
Speaker 1: Its used to be in a touchdown right there. If
31:26
Ben Roberts, the middle linebacker, made the tackle, Parker stays
31:29
in the ball game. As the tailback Hunter Andrews checks
31:31
in now as well, Tech taking its time subbing now
31:36
fifteen on the play clock, minute twenty on the game clock.
31:40
Second down in seven for the forty eight of Utah.
31:43
Damn Pierre hands it to Parker across the fifty and
31:47
down to the forty seven. The ball out again? Is
31:49
the ball out again? Texas Tech says they've got it,
31:54
do they?
31:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do cruly on the field as a fumble,
32:00
we're covered by the defense. First down way Shawn Parker
32:03
fumbles at the Texas Tech forty seven and they've given
32:07
it right back again on another fumble and Wyshawn just
32:11
you know, and wow, he just punches the ball right now.
32:13
Speaker 1: That's clearly a fumble. That was a great play by Rodriguez.
32:17
Speaker 2: And and Texas Tech's doing that. You know, you've got
32:20
to cover that ball. If you cover it up right,
32:22
you can't punch it out. But it's hanging out at
32:25
the end right to awareness by Rodriguez to do it,
32:28
and the text Tech done twice, and then.
32:29
Speaker 1: Utah's offense has turned it over twice and had a
32:32
touchdown taken off the board by a penalty. First and
32:36
ten again for Tech you cannot give the Red Raiders
32:39
this many opportunities. I'm minute seven to play. Here is
32:44
Morton's going to change the play on first down and
32:46
back up into the shotgun to Kobe Williams, winning play
32:53
action pass for Baron Morton. He's gonna take a shot
32:55
down the field hit. As the ball comes out, the
32:57
offensive lineman falls on it. Back at the time twenty
33:00
nine to thirty yard line. Wow, John Henry Daily come
33:09
it off the edge, nearly got.
33:11
Speaker 2: A strip sack. That's like one of those plays in
33:14
a movie. And you just see John Henry coming behind
33:17
Baron Morton. He does, He's not even aware of it
33:19
at all, and just really tattoos him the great play.
33:22
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate no one else was around at that moment.
33:24
Second down now in twenty six per tech at the
33:28
thirty yard line. How about this Utah defense twenty five
33:34
seconds to play, aching in motion, Morton throwing the ball
33:37
on the flat. He's gonna be dropped behind the line
33:39
of scrimmage. Jacoby Williams smothered by Tyo Johnson. It's a
33:44
loss of a yard a big third down coming up.
33:47
But we'll get to that third down in the second quarter.
33:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a great, great effort on the defense there,
33:53
and they're kind of playing with great leverage.
33:55
Speaker 1: Great tempo.
33:56
Speaker 2: Everything up front has just been unbelievably impressive with this
33:59
this defen for Utah.
34:01
Speaker 1: Utah's deep fan saved one breakdown early has been spectacular.
34:06
End of the first quarter Here in Salt Lake, it's

34:57
Speaker 2: You see turning over the ball, and it's been great
35:00
efforts by this defense to punch out the ball. You've

35:05

of what's happening here. This is that adversity that you've
35:19
got to battle through. But my goodness, thank you for
35:22
a defense that's really shown up today and answered the
35:25
bell so far.
35:26
Speaker 1: Big defensive series here, Big defensive down, brought to you
35:29
by Doe Tarra, official partner of University of Utah Football.
35:32
It's third down at twenty eight here for the Red Raiders.
35:35
They're two out of three on third down. They did
35:37
convert a third and long that went for seventy three
35:40
yards earlier, Jacoby Williams. Usually the ball game, they're from
35:44
their own twenty nine yard line. You got to be
35:47
aware of Jacoby Williams in this situation and to tie
35:50
it in to John Carlos Filler. Utah is gonna rush
35:54
just for play coverage behind here. They've got to get
35:56
all the way to the Utah forty three for a
35:58
first down thought playing off coverage as well. No press
36:02
right here. They've gotten home so far, especially John Henry
36:06
Day is a four man rush. Here's Baron Morton on
36:09
third and twenty eight. He's just gonna hand it off
36:10
to Jacobe Williams, who's dancing around making some guys miss.
36:14
He's picking up yardage all the way after the forty
36:16
one yard line. That's a twelve yard game. Tao Johnson
36:18
finally made the tackle, but once again the Utah defense
36:22
comes up bit huge.
36:24
Speaker 2: And that was just Texas tex saying, look, we don't
36:26
want to do anything stupid.
36:27
Speaker 1: We're not gonna give you a short football.
36:29
Speaker 2: Your team isn't moving yet, so you gotta We just
36:32
don't believe you can move the ball, and we'll play
36:34
to our defense.
36:35
Speaker 1: So Rayshawn Glummer in his own twenty hunter, Jack Burgess
36:40
in a nice one earlier, we'll kick from inside of
36:44
his own thirty yard line, fourth down, sixteen. Burgess his
36:49
kicks good ones, high spiral and kick. Glover's gonna come
36:52
up fair catch it and he's old fourteen. Juggled it
36:55
for a minute, but he held on and Utah will
36:58
have an eighty six out. They're actually get a mark
37:00
get it for thirteen mere sideline here. I thought it
37:04
was the board team. Now they'll say the fourteen yard line.
37:05
So with eighty six yard field for Devin damp Pier
37:07
at the Utah offense, Scott, they just have to hold
37:10
on to the football. Yeah, they're starting to move the ball.
37:12
This look they can.
37:13
Speaker 2: They can move this offensive line starting to establish a
37:16
nice front. They're getting a field for this defensive front.
37:19
And yeah, you're right, just gotta you gotta finish drives it.
37:22
It's always the key, It's always the answer.
37:24
Speaker 1: Finish it, take care of the football. Really surprise way,
37:26
Sean Parker's back out there so quickly they trust him.
37:31
He just fumbled. He's back of the ball. Game on
37:32
first to ten. Now he motions out of the backfield.
37:35
Devin dam Pierre looks to pass, steps up throws to
37:38
the outside. Caught, I scrabbed by Tobias Merriweather right at
37:43
the first down stick at the twenty four yard line.
37:46
They're gonna move the chains? Who are they are they
37:48
gonna say second down? In short? Sure doesn't look like your.
37:52
Speaker 2: Side said they were going to they are. Yeah, Now
37:54
they do well, great pocket for Devin. I mean this
37:58
has been the third time he's been able to look
38:00
all the way across the field and get back to
38:02
his last option to throw the ball.
38:05
Speaker 1: Now, little we have I don't think they spot the play.
38:09
Speaker 4: Have a completed pass for a first down?
38:14
Speaker 1: Completed pass? Yeah, that's the good question right here, Scott.
38:18
They'll do a review. We didn't have many in the
38:20
first couple of games. No, it's it was an accurate
38:23
throw too. Uh uh.
38:24
Speaker 2: You want to throw it low and away in that situation,
38:26
so its right placement of the ball.
38:28
Speaker 1: But well, I think he caught it.
38:30
Speaker 2: One of the things that the Big twelve is doing
38:32
this week is they're actually letting the fans see what
38:35
they see at the command center.
38:36
Speaker 1: So you can see the ball. There's a look at
38:38
it out and if his hands around it, but the
38:45
nose hits the drownd, So what is that if he has.
38:49
Speaker 2: Has possession of it. I think it's still it's still
38:54
still a completion. It wobbles around in there, then then
38:58
it's not, and it looks like it's really hard to
39:00
tell right there.
39:02
Speaker 1: The play was called to catch on the field. Yeah.
39:04
By the way, Utah's first quarter drives one stopped on downs,
39:08
two fumbles in a punt. Yeah, not very impressive in
39:11
the first drive. But I don't know that there's a
39:13
lot that you can see there that would really overturn that.
39:16
Speaker 2: But again, I'm not in a fun hit. Both hands
39:18
around it the whole time and the nose. Yeah, I
39:24
think as long as he as long as he maintains
39:26
the possession of it.
39:27
Speaker 1: But you know, the bigger issue is is the protection
39:30
Devin had right there.
39:31
Speaker 2: I mean he can he scans the whole entire field
39:33
and comes all the way back to that last option.
39:35
Speaker 1: Texas Tech a lot like Utah has been rushing just
39:38
for Yeah, here's a referee after.
39:41
Speaker 4: A review, the receiver does not make their own possession
39:44
of the hull and survive the.
39:45
Speaker 1: Drownd in complete pass the second down. So you hate
39:49
that Scott for two reasons. One take a tent, but
39:53
now you're behind the sticks on second down.
39:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about that, and uh yeah, but still
40:01
I like the aggressiveness. I like that they're coming out
40:03
and throwing the ball and got a lot of you know,
40:06
it's kind of throwing on those downs when you think
40:08
you're gonna run it and just get a nice pocket there,
40:11
and it's got to execute a little better.
40:13
Speaker 1: Stowte and Andrews in the backfield on secondy tenth of
40:15
the Utah fourteen, stacked two receivers to the top of
40:17
the form nation. Now they motioned Smith snoe out. Kevin
40:21
Dampier's gonna keep it straight ahead. He's gonna get to
40:23
the twenty and twenty one yard line. I'm sorry, sixteen
40:26
yard line. He only picked up two. Yeah, maybe the
40:30
third down at eight, a.
40:31
Speaker 2: Little bit more awareness there and kind of throw it
40:34
off in the backfield because you know, if you.
40:36
Speaker 1: Cut back just a little bit sooner or a bigger play.
40:39
Big third down right here, big third down. They're only
40:42
one of three on third down today. They stacked two
40:44
receivers left to two receivers right. Text gonna rush just
40:47
fur again. They dump it in the flat to Smith's note,
40:50
He's not going anywhere. He loses yardage back to the
40:53
twelve skyler Gil Howard, the tremendous nose tackle for Northern Illinois,
40:57
made the tackle and that was a terrible drive. Yeah,
41:01
that was a terrible drive. Look the ball. You can
41:03
throw the ball in the middle of the field against his.
41:05
Speaker 2: Defense and they're just but that's just that's too slow developing,
41:09
like those players have to hit pop quick and that
41:13
that just took.
41:13
Speaker 1: All afternoon to get started in. Not in love with
41:16
that call right there, Ryan Phillips will punt from near
41:19
a zone goal line Twystan Gentry back end over and kick.
41:24
Gentry's gonna let it hit checks up in the forty
41:27
five and dies at the Texas Tech forty six yard line.
41:34
Not a great kick forty one yards no return, but
41:36
again great starting field position here for Tech in a
41:39
time out on the field twelve thirty three to play
41:42
here in the first half. First half brought to you
41:44
by Slackwater Pizzeri and Pub in downtown Salt Lake City
41:47
and all over Northern Utah. Stopping and enjoy a great
41:50
meal today at slack Water seven nothing Texas Tech. This
41:53
is Utah Football for ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports Radio Network,
41:58
Bag and.
41:58
Speaker 2: Rice Ecles Stadium, first two kick for Texas Tech twelve
42:01
thirty three to play here in the first half, seven
42:03
nothing Red Raiders.
42:04
Speaker 1: They scored on their opening drive. You thought defense has
42:07
been good since, but it's got so many chances in
42:09
so many short fields for Texas Tech. They're bound to
42:12
cash hit at some point in time.
42:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they just haven't been aggressive throwing a ball
42:15
down the field. I'm just I wouldn't be surprised they'd
42:17
do it right here.
42:19
Speaker 1: Poor receivers on person ten Morton out of the shotgun
42:22
toss sweet near side flag flies. He stacked up and
42:25
taken down behind the line of scrimmage at the forty
42:29
five yard line of Kobe Williams, who somebody lined up
42:31
in the neutral zone for Utah.
42:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know or if they got motion early.
42:36
Something was amiss on that play.
42:39
Speaker 4: The league of motion number nine offense five yard pedalte
42:44
still first down.
42:44
Speaker 1: That's a tight end John Carlos Miller, who must have
42:47
maybe moved just to touch early, caught up field. It's
42:49
that Canadian move little lean to the line. I was
42:53
elected to decline that Pedalton. It'll be second out, second
42:56
out of eleven. He lost to yardo to play at.
42:59
Speaker 5: Is where the Utes live on game day and every day.
43:02
Ka Ll North Salt Lake k x R K HD
43:06
three ESPN seven hundred and ninety two to one FM.
43:10
Speaker 1: Passing down here for Tech on second and eleven, Utah
43:13
crawded the line of scrimmage down Acon comes in motion.
43:16
Now he goes back across at motion. They hand off
43:19
to Williams. He's through a hole. Williams to the Utah
43:21
forty five and he picks up the first down. He's
43:24
to the forty four yard line. Are they gonna give
43:27
him the first down?
43:28
Speaker 2: They are?
43:29
Speaker 1: Wow, he needed eleven and got just that. It was
43:32
a big old hole up front nobody fielder.
43:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just really strange there because someone should have
43:36
been in there, and no one was in that hole.
43:39
Speaker 1: And play action pass on first down for Barrett Mooreton
43:42
off the edge, Don Henry Daily again chasing him to
43:45
the outside. He's got a man open on the sideline
43:47
inside the thirty five. That's Aiken all the way down
43:50
to the thirty yard line. Koy Aikin picks up fourteen
43:55
yards and the Texas Tech first down and the Red
43:57
Raiders are on the move. Yeah.
43:59
Speaker 2: You got a plaster the receivers when that quarterback gets out.
44:01
He's actually held on that play, but didn't call it.
44:05
Speaker 1: First down flanker screen to the outside, caught weaving his
44:09
way down to the twenty five yard line for a
44:12
game of five. On the play is Caleb Douglass transfer
44:16
for the University of Florida, who had four catches and
44:18
a touchdown against Utah back here at twenty three, second
44:23
down at five, red Raiders finding some momentum now on
44:26
this drive, just outside the red zone at the twenty
44:30
five yard line, second down in five more backs up
44:32
into the shotgun again. He's got Williams next to it.
44:36
Now he's gonna come change the play and the play
44:38
clock is at ten. He'll pass pressure off the edge,
44:45
throwing toward the end zone, aching up intercepting.
44:50
Speaker 6: Jackson Benny took it away from Toyakin a big pick,
44:55
the third of the year for Jackson Benny.
44:58
Speaker 2: What a play, I'll tell you, Jackson Benny's becoming a
45:03
playmaker on this defense. And that's just a tremendous effort.
45:07
It's a fifty to fifty ball and what an answer
45:09
by this defense. You just have to ask yourself. You
45:12
know how many times are they gonna do this? These
45:14
offenses that were supposed to be explosive have been been
45:18
held in check for the most part right here.
45:20
Speaker 1: But what a great and the balls is party thrown,
45:21
But great awareness there.
45:23
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that Jackson Benny could have not run
45:25
that football out and got a big play there, but
45:28
still pretty heads up to get the interception and have
45:31
the presence to you know, at least not make it worse.
45:33
Speaker 1: A poor pass turns into a pick at Utah football.
45:36
When we get back ten forty four to play here
45:39
the first half Texas Tech seven and Utah nothing. We'll
45:42
see what the Utah offense could do when we get back.
45:45
This is Utah Football for ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports
45:47
Radio Network. We have four turnovers here in the first half.
45:50
Utah spumbled twice, lost to no. Texas Tech has two picks.
45:54
Those turnovers brought to you by Stratus HR. Now Utah
45:58
has it first intended their own twenty yard line. The
46:00
defense fields out the offense again. They've got an eighty
46:03
yard field down seven to nothing with a lot of
46:06
time to play here in the first half.
46:07
Speaker 2: I think what we learned about this game so far
46:09
is that we got two teams with really good defenses,
46:13
and these offenses who can settle down and who can execute.
46:17
Speaker 1: That's just gonna win this football game. Jackson Benny should
46:20
also have a touchdown today too, that was wiped out
46:23
on a playdown field by Love Spencer Fana. First to
46:26
ten Utah, Damn Pierre's gonna keep it himself, run pass
46:29
option and picks up a yard to the twenty one.
46:31
That's it. Did somebody miss a block there? Scott's Now,
46:35
it's just a great effort. I mean, uh, Tyler Howard Gilt.
46:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, he might have cut off the ball just a
46:39
little or up the field here just a little bit.
46:41
He's got to take one plant and get upfield. Inside's
46:44
gotta seal off that cutback, and they just didn't do it.
46:47
So second down to nine now has clock runs of
46:50
ten to twenty to play seven nothing.
46:51
Speaker 1: Texas tap Utah of their own twenty one. Smith snowed
46:54
the weapon of the backfield. Right now, they shift personnel
46:57
left right, everywhere straight from the right hand side, Stoton
47:00
flexes out wide to the.
47:01
Speaker 2: Left empty backfield for dam Pier. Now he brings Stote in.
47:05
He keeps it himself.
47:06
Speaker 1: Does Devin straight ahead and he dives forward just a
47:09
two yard game to the twenty three. There's not much
47:12
straight ahead against this Texas Tech defense. Gout now.
47:15
Speaker 2: They're built a little bit like the Baltimore Ravens in
47:17
the nineties, where they got these big, old beefy guys
47:21
in the middle like Sarah Goosa and Sam Adams, and
47:23
then they got twitchy guys on the edge. It's hard
47:25
to run against a team like that. Can't run in
47:27
the middle, and you can't run on the edge.
47:29
Speaker 1: Utah just one for four on third down today they
47:31
paced a third down and seven for their own twenty three.
47:33
You don't want to give the ball right back to
47:35
Texas Tech again. Damp peer to pass. Here comes a
47:39
late blitz, they pick it up, throws one down the
47:41
field down and Bentley caught. Oh, he got his toe
47:44
tap down at the thirty seven yard line. Baul loft
47:49
it out and Bentley got that one foot down. That's
47:51
a first down. Yeah, And he wasn't even open when
47:53
he threw the ball.
47:54
Speaker 2: And Devin's hit these tight ends on these kind of
47:58
down the sideline throws and they just go up and
48:01
make catches.
48:01
Speaker 1: But that's that's a huge conversion right there.
48:04
Speaker 2: And and something Utah needs to look to you or
48:06
I'm just telling you Bill, they've got to take a
48:08
shot down the middle of the field.
48:10
Speaker 1: It's there. Are they gonna review? Was his foot in bounds?
48:16
That's the best. It's really hard to say. The review
48:24
did not go Utah's way last time. We're gonna have
48:27
to take a look at it right here? Did he
48:28
get his foot in his foot on the line. Nobody
48:32
on the Texas Tech sideline said anything. So you see
48:34
it over on the big screen.
48:38
Speaker 2: One thing about having big noon here is you're gonna
48:40
have ten million cameras, so there's not going to be
48:42
any question mark.
48:43
Speaker 1: About whether a guy catches it or not. See it
48:47
right here? I think that puts it in bounds. That
48:50
official's right there. I mean they're looking at it. And again,
48:52
nobody on the Texas Tech sideline, Oh yeah, that's a
48:55
catch said anything. Usually you'll see coaches and everybody else
49:00
make a big deal about it. Nobody did. That's a catch.
49:03
I think so too. There's space, there's grass, Those officials
49:06
are right there. I've got a spat stat for you.
49:09
That's defensive minded, right now here's our referee. You're really
49:12
on the field is uppal first out. Then Jackson Benny
49:16
has an interception in three consecutive games. The last you
49:19
to do it Clark Phillips in twenty two against a
49:22
issue Oregon in Ucla. Dave spatafod It may be early,
49:26
but he's an old man. He likes these early games
49:30
much better than the late games.
49:31
Speaker 2: Jackson Benny's up to the white side of the field.
49:33
Speaker 1: Run him on a deep post over the middle of
49:35
the field. First down at ten. You taught their own
49:38
thirty seven o'clock running at nine minutes to play. Here
49:40
the first half they trail seven nothing. Barton comes across
49:45
the formation. They handed to Rogers. Rogers bouncing inside and
49:48
out beyond the forty and after the forty two yard
49:51
line for a gain of five. Got the wrong with
49:53
a five yard gain on first down.
49:54
Speaker 2: Now again, and that's just effort with guys blocking. That's
49:58
a long developing play for those guys to sustain those blocks.
50:02
It's just an effort thing, you know, and they're moving
50:04
their feet. There's no holding. Nice nice lane.
50:07
Speaker 1: I give him a four yard gain all the play.
50:10
Second down in six Devin's gonna change the play. Plenty
50:13
of time of the play clock. Roger stays in his tailback.
50:16
Benny's still at the ball game play action pass debit,
50:20
looking throwing down the field. He's trying to get it
50:22
out to Ben a in complete good coverage on the outside,
50:26
excellent coverage on the outside by Bryce Pollock. Third down
50:31
and seven, Third down and six coming up. Well, I
50:34
don't thought he was holding his arm. He was holding
50:36
his arm and he was deferring him.
50:39
Speaker 2: But the problem is the ball's out of bounce, and
50:41
you got to get the ball up the field and
50:43
not out of out of field, and you might get
50:46
a call.
50:46
Speaker 1: When when you have a chance. But Benny didn't even
50:49
have a chance to go for that one. Third down
50:50
and long again here for Utah. They converted the last.
50:53
They're two out of five. But third down and seven,
50:59
got to get to the four. Play action pass again
51:01
for Devon throwing over the middle, Cock and the territory
51:05
Texas Tech Territory's favorite target, Ryan Davis making those tough
51:09
yards and tough catches to the Texas Tech forty nine
51:12
Rodriguez the linebacker with a tackle. Yeah, and this is
51:15
a tight hole right here. But it's devine.
51:17
Speaker 2: To Devon's credit, you know, he's really hanging tough in
51:19
that pocket there and delivering the ball in some some
51:22
tight windows for some big plays.
51:24
Speaker 1: Utah on the Texas Tech side of midfield. Finally first
51:30
and tent Benny comes in motion, turns up field, roll
51:33
to the right hand side. Devon looking dumps it off
51:35
the land of bart Bart is tackled. I'll give him progress.
51:39
I think we'll see Nope, they're going to market behind
51:41
the line of scrimmage back to the forty nine yard line.
51:44
Speaker 2: It's a nice play, but I'll need some help there
51:47
to get He needs a blocker in front of him
51:49
and no one's theres a lot of people standing around.
51:53
Speaker 1: Tackle on the play by Terrell Tillman. Second down in twelve.
52:01
Really surprised they have it continued to run the ball.
52:03
They've won it pretty well and they've committed to the
52:05
run play action. On first down, Devin steps away. He
52:11
looks down the field again. He's got a man open
52:13
and over shot him. Oh, he had Tobias Meriweather at
52:17
about the ten yard line. He goes in complete and
52:20
that's gonna bring up third down a long.
52:21
Speaker 2: Dan he felt the pressure, and he just kind of slid.
52:24
I mean just it's kind of take your time once
52:26
you move to make an accurate throw.
52:28
Speaker 1: There have been shots down field for Utah to make.
52:30
They had a touchdown taking off the board, and that
52:32
one right there would have been six as well well.
52:35
Speaker 2: And the other thing is Devin could have ran in
52:37
that situation. It might be good for him to look
52:38
for those opportunities.
52:40
Speaker 1: Third down it three out of six on third down.
52:42
Third down it twelve for Utah. The appears going to
52:45
change the play with ten of the play clock. Texas
52:48
Tech well, the four man down front playing coverage behind
52:52
Devin looking stepping up. Now he'll run to the forty
52:55
five and down right there at the Texas Tech forty
52:59
five yard line, He's not really even close. He's still
53:02
six yard shy at first down yardage. And I think
53:05
you's gonna send the punt team out here. And I
53:07
think that's the right call the way the defense is played.
53:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked almost like it was a run from
53:12
the beginning. And and Devin, if you had cut back
53:14
to the left, there was a nice lane there. I
53:16
don't know what draw him back to the right there,
53:18
but not really doesn't seem super comfortable running the ball today.
53:22
Speaker 1: Devinkoy A getting back to receive this punt. Ryan Phillips
53:26
will punt it, a chance to pin Texas Tech back
53:29
deep still seven to nothing, fourth down and six Phillips
53:34
angling that kick to the side. That's gonna be way short.
53:37
Agint comes up if that's not a good kick to
53:39
the nineteen yard line, twenty six yard punt, but you
53:46
got to be better than that from the Texas Tech
53:48
side of the field. You gotta pin him down in
53:49
that situation, or you might as well go for you know,
53:52
go for it on fourth down. Time out on the field.
53:55
Six twenty two to play here in the first half,
53:56
seven to nothing Tech. They'll get it back when we
53:58
get back. As you on football from ESPN seven hundred.
54:02
Speaker 2: Today's meeting he brought to you by America First Credit Union.
54:05
If you're ready to get your buddy York, you joined
54:07
the home team today. In the neighborhood rankings for America
54:09
First dot Com, that last play drive for Utah is
54:12
their best of today. Nine plays, thirty five yards, most
54:14
plays in those yards, longest time of possession, but nothing
54:17
to show for it, and Texas Tech gets it back
54:19
with six twenty two to play. Here the first half
54:21
leading seven.
54:22
Speaker 1: Nothing from their own nineteen Morton delayed hand off, there's
54:26
running room up to your side and knocked out of
54:29
bounds at the thirty one Cameron Dickie and is at
54:32
the quarterback down behind the play. That's Baron Morton who's down.
54:35
He got whacked and he's down back at the twelve
54:38
yard line. John Henry Daily hit him on that misdirection
54:42
play and Morton may have to come out. He's gonna
54:48
stay in there. He's a tough kid that seems to
54:52
be all right. I don't know, but now he's not
54:54
all right. He's gonna have to come out.
54:57
Speaker 2: And for a play man, John Henry Dale, they have
55:00
whacked him pretty good on that delayed handoff. Yeah, what
55:02
they did they went unbalanced to the white side of
55:05
the fields. They had no one back here on the
55:06
back side, and then they were on the counter. You
55:08
thought he didn't have enough Defender's a really nice design
55:11
play and on one of the best rounds. Here's the
55:14
second game clock to six minutes of clean hit by
55:16
John Henry Davis, and he is taking Will Hammond in
55:19
the ball game back up started the Liberty Bowl a
55:22
year ago, red shirt freshman, first and tenth from their
55:27
own thirty one yard line.
55:30
Speaker 1: You're gonna hand it off to the tail back in
55:32
the whole Cameron Dickey picks up maybe two after the
55:35
thirty three yard line. That's about it. Baron Morton still
55:39
has his helmet off on the sideline being looked at
55:41
Dallas back a lie you see in some of his
55:43
first action. Makes a tackle on the play second down
55:45
at eight. I'll go with a little tempo here with
55:48
Will Hammond at the ball game. He'll hand it off again.
55:51
Good blocking up front. That's Dicky again, and he picks
55:54
up yardage to the thirty nine. It's seven yards BMI.
55:58
He made the tackle. Third down and three coming up up.
56:01
Barren Morton wants to go back in the game and
56:03
does here on third down and short.
56:04
Speaker 2: Probably the best thing that Texas Texas gun is running
56:07
the ball up the middle of the field that the
56:08
bigger runs have kind of been on the inside. Linebackers
56:11
not really playing downhill as much as they should and reading.
56:14
Speaker 1: And there's just not completely gap sound. Red Raiders two
56:19
out of four on third down. Barren Morton back in
56:22
after getting knocked out for a couple of plays in
56:24
the shotgun with Dicky next to him, you telling the
56:27
four man down front. Here comes aching on the fly.
56:29
Sweet Morton's gonna pass, pressure in his face, throws down
56:33
the field, caught right on first down yardage just to
56:37
tight end Terrence Carter. He needed three and he got four.
56:40
And Morton hung in there, tough. Took a hit as
56:43
he threw it, and he's hurting. Yeah, that's good. Good,
56:47
good read, their good coverage. Just make the play. So
56:50
a big first down picked up by the Red Raiders.
56:52
Four forty five to play before halftime, first and ten
56:55
at their own forty three, three receivers in the pattern,
57:01
tailback Cameron Dickie. Here comes aching across the formation. Morton's
57:06
gonna throw to the inside, caught, dropped, incomplete, Elijah Davis
57:12
k barrel again. Caleb Douglass had it hit his shoulder,
57:15
fly up in the air, go incomplete. Plot stops forwards
57:18
twenty seven to play second down. See and that's all about,
57:21
you know, really understanding the formation.
57:23
Speaker 2: And they throw the slant to the white side to
57:26
a single receiver. Happens all the time. Great read, great
57:29
reaction to that.
57:30
Speaker 1: Play second down in ten, out of the shotgun, Morton
57:33
again roll to the right. Flags fly and we're gonna
57:38
get movement on Texas Tech prior to the snap.
57:43
Speaker 4: Let's all start number seventy six offense, five yard penalty.
57:48
Speaker 1: Second down. The left guard transfer from Miami of Ohio
57:51
moved early, so second and ten becomes second in fifteen
57:54
to Gooby Williams checks back in. Better have an eye
57:57
on that guy.
57:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, if he's in the game, something's gonna happen with
58:00
But they were gonna kind of run that scissors route
58:03
with those wide receivers and take a shot downfield on
58:05
the last play, but could kick Williams is gonna get
58:09
the ball right.
58:10
Speaker 1: Here second at fifteen, Morton's gonna change the play backs
58:14
up into the shotgun play clock at thirteen, he'll pass
58:19
back pedals Blitz coming down the field. He goes looking
58:22
for Vergil in complete great coverage up to dear sideline. Here, boy,
58:28
that was excellent coverage by Blake Cotton right here on
58:32
the near sideline. Third down at fifteen coming up. The
58:35
Blitz got there late, but there was good coverage. Well.
58:38
Speaker 2: I think Utah secondary has answered that question about wide
58:41
receivers and played a lot of tight man coverage and
58:44
they've really been able to run with and handle these
58:47
receivers for the most part.
58:48
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Williams again. He stays in the
58:50
ball game. Three out of five on third down to
58:52
the Red Raiders and converted their last third down at
58:54
fifteen from their own thirty eighth. Utah will show a
58:58
four man rush. Virgil comes in motion. Morton to pass
59:03
four man rush. Lots of time, steps up, gonna try
59:06
to run for it. He's to the outside Barren Morton
59:08
and knock down right at midfield at the fifty yard line.
59:11
Blake Cotton came up to stop him. Bill mark him
59:14
at the forty nine about three yards shy and the
59:17
punt team will come out here for the Red Raiders.
59:19
Speaker 2: Good stop by the Utah defuse. Great stop by the
59:21
defense right there. And you know what's happened with Baron
59:24
Morton is he's taking a lot of shots in this
59:26
game and it's just gonna wear on him the more
59:29
and more he gets gets in the game.
59:30
Speaker 1: But a great stop by this defense. This offense gotta
59:33
come through now though. Watch the fake punt here for
59:35
Texas Tech just around big field o'clock running at three
59:39
forty five to play, Rayshawn Glover his own ten burgess
59:43
back out the punnet again end Over ends it gonna
59:48
be a fair catch here by Rayshawn Glover. Oh, Rayshawn,
59:51
it checks back up and takes a Utah bounce. Oh,
59:55
I thought that was gonna punish Utah. It actually takes
59:57
a bounce back to about the seventeen, So Utah gets an.
1:00:00
I have about seven on that, but he doesn't fair
1:00:02
to catch it. That's gonna have about an.
1:00:05
Speaker 2: Eighty three yard field here with three twenty nine and
1:00:07
three timeouts remaining that spot by the official, that ball
1:00:10
should be almost on the on the twenty right there.
1:00:13
He didn't see that very well.
1:00:17
Speaker 1: So Devin damp Pier here in the first half is
1:00:20
eleven of fourteen for just fifty one yards. He's run
1:00:23
eight times for thirty one Can they execute a scoring
1:00:28
drive here before halftime? Rogers and Andrews are the backs
1:00:32
of the backfield here with Damn Pierre flanker screen thrown,
1:00:36
Andrews turns it up field. Oh goodness, he got drilled
1:00:39
at the nineteen yard line. Brend did Jordan the strong
1:00:42
safety came up Scott, there's not much. They're really tight
1:00:45
that right around the light of scrimmage areat and.
1:00:47
Speaker 2: Utah has really not challenged him down the field at all.
1:00:49
Everything's been on the edges, it's been short. Nothing over
1:00:52
the middle of the field. Of course, the one big
1:00:54
play over the middle was a touchdown.
1:00:56
Speaker 1: Second down at eight for Utah. You're gonna run it now.
1:00:59
Miss direction to Rogers and he gets a yard and
1:01:02
that's it to the twenty yard line. Utah's not getting
1:01:06
any real push are they when they try those misdirections now.
1:01:10
Speaker 2: One of the most impressive things I've seen in the
1:01:12
game so far has been this run defense for Texas Tech.
1:01:15
I mean, the defenses for both of these teams are
1:01:17
really shown up today.
1:01:19
Speaker 1: So third down and seven again here for Utah there
1:01:22
are three out of seven on third down. They've got
1:01:24
to get to the twenty seven yard line. Stack two
1:01:28
receivers to the right hand side. Devon's gonna change the
1:01:33
play now, Texas Tech again as they've done most of
1:01:35
the day rushing just for here they come. Devn It's
1:01:40
gonna scramble to his right, look down the field, allude
1:01:43
the tackler to the outside. Looking still looking down the field,
1:01:46
throwing down the field, he's judged it up and it's intercepted.
1:01:51
Intercepted by Texas Tech at the Tech forty seven yard
1:01:55
line by Bryce Pollock. It was a prayer to Benny
1:01:59
and it just was there. And Devin damp Pier throws
1:02:03
his first interception of the year, and you tossed third
1:02:06
turnover the first half.
1:02:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just not seeing the safety right there. And
1:02:10
if you're gonna throw that ball, he's just not aware.
1:02:13
You've limited yourself on where you can throw. You've basically
1:02:16
limited in that situation to a quarter of the field.
1:02:19
Very easy to defend. You just got to live for
1:02:22
another down there and.
1:02:25
Speaker 1: Punt first and ten tag on their third takeaway of
1:02:32
the first half. That turnover brought to you by Stratus Hr.
1:02:37
Their average starting field position has been insane today. Out
1:02:42
of the pistol formation with Williams behind it, you taw
1:02:45
crowds a line of scrimmage. This time Jacobe Williams nowhere
1:02:48
to run, runs through a tackler and finally stacked up
1:02:51
by John neu Hall after a two yard game to
1:02:53
the forty nine should have been a drop for a
1:02:55
loss and stead, he picks up two Andy that takes
1:02:57
this to the two minute time out here at right
1:02:59
cycles state idiot, Well, two.
1:03:02
Speaker 4: Teams' is a two minute on the coer.
1:03:05
Speaker 1: Each average over forty five points a game. If combined
1:03:08
for seven in the first half, seven I think Texas
1:03:10
Tech here at the two minute time out of Risecle Stadium.
1:03:14
This is Utah football for ESPN seven hundred to Youth
1:03:16
Sports Radio Network. To Heay's broadcast. Being raunchie might smit
1:03:20
the pepsi. Great combination for you watching all year long,
1:03:23
spits and pepsi. But just for an average starting field position.
1:03:26
Dave Spataford tells, if Utah's average starts have been their
1:03:29
own twenty three, Texas Tech has been their own forty
1:03:31
yard line.
1:03:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been insane, and neither offense has really moved.
1:03:36
It's just been one big play has been the difference
1:03:38
in this game so far.
1:03:39
Speaker 1: The credit both these defenses. But I'll say this again,
1:03:42
Texas Tech is too explosive. If you continue to give
1:03:45
them chances, Scott, They're gonna beat you at some point
1:03:48
in time. Yeah.
1:03:49
Speaker 2: You can't put yourself in this position over and over
1:03:51
and expect you know, to just hold up forever.
1:03:54
Speaker 1: So here we go second down at eight tech for
1:03:57
their own forty nine two minutes remain. They've got two
1:03:59
time out. Utah has three Jacoby Williams stays in the
1:04:03
ball game. Three receivers at a tight end here for
1:04:07
Barrett Morton so far today nine to fifteen, one hundred
1:04:10
and twenty one yards, two interceptions, Williams four catches, four
1:04:17
rushes twenty four yards, two catches, seventy one four man
1:04:21
down front for Utah are gonna hand it to Williams.
1:04:28
Jacobe Williams squirts through and down. He goes to the
1:04:31
Utah forty six, about three yards shy of first down
1:04:35
yardage turf montster Gandhi. Otherwise that would have been the
1:04:37
first d.
1:04:38
Speaker 2: People are not getting off the blocks here, and Williams
1:04:41
is just so good at being patient and sporting.
1:04:43
Speaker 1: Through those holes. Well, you wonder if the Utah defense
1:04:45
is tired right now. I'm sure they are third down
1:04:48
in three movement up front or is that movement on Utah?
1:04:52
I think it's going to be procedure on Texas town.
1:04:58
Speaker 4: Fall start number seven offense, five yard penalty.
1:05:04
Speaker 1: He's still third down. Remember a good sign when the
1:05:06
center is called for the false start. Isn't he supposed
1:05:09
to know the snack down? Yeah, it's It's been an
1:05:11
ugly day offensively for both of these teams.
1:05:13
Speaker 2: But Texas Tech mens, I mean third down has really
1:05:18
shot themselves in the foot.
1:05:20
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, by the way, six penalties fifty yards right now,
1:05:23
they hit a bunch. It's third down in eights. They're
1:05:29
three of six on third down. Tight end comes in motion,
1:05:34
Morton out of the gun, Utah bringing a blizz. Morton
1:05:39
time to throw complete first down Utah forty and down
1:05:42
to the thirty nine goes Caleb Douglas. Smith Stowton had
1:05:47
but didn't have the coverage on the play, and that's
1:05:49
a big first down.
1:05:50
Speaker 2: As Jackson Benny's he slipped and fell down and then
1:05:53
kind of go down the field and it's a late screen.
1:05:55
Speaker 1: He reads it in season, just just doesn't keep his feet.
1:05:58
They'll go with tempo and from the Utah thirty nine.
1:06:01
More to pass again, pressure off the edge, hit as
1:06:04
he throws down the field.
1:06:05
Speaker 2: Taught to the Utah ten Caleb Douglas again, but a
1:06:10
flag behind the play and this one's coming back. Yeah,
1:06:13
John Henry Daily got held he was way around the
1:06:16
quarterback got wrapped around the neck.
1:06:19
Speaker 1: Or he's been held about three times today. Yeah, here's
1:06:23
the call for the rest free.
1:06:25
Speaker 4: Number seventy nine offense ten yard tennady.
1:06:29
Speaker 1: From the previous spot. Howard simp sitting the transfer from
1:06:33
North Carolina called for that one, and that was what
1:06:35
Utah needed because that was gonna be first and goal
1:06:37
at the ten yard line.
1:06:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's one of those plays where you know,
1:06:40
you just play and play, but eventually they're getting they're
1:06:43
just gonna make plays on you when you get put
1:06:45
in those situations.
1:06:46
Speaker 1: But lucky on the penalties here for Utah. Early TJ
1:06:50
West out wide to the right hand side, first down
1:06:53
in twenty at the Utah forty nine made it thirteen
1:06:55
to play first half seven other ten Orton to pass
1:06:59
four a man rush for Utah pressure coming thrown incomplete
1:07:03
off the fingertips of Terrence Carter. Had good coverage there
1:07:07
by Nate Richie or was that Lander Barton. I think
1:07:12
it was Lander Barton that had the coverage on the play.
1:07:15
I couldn't see there. No, it was Nate Richie. It
1:07:18
was the safety Date Richie. Well these second down at
1:07:20
twenty and these safeties and corners have been really great.
1:07:23
And man coverage today second down in twenty more backs
1:07:26
up into the gun again, three receivers why to the right,
1:07:28
this time man coverage to the bottom on a single receiver.
1:07:34
They throw the flankers screen to Ache and in.
1:07:36
Speaker 2: The open field, Beny tackles in behind the line of
1:07:39
scrimmage for a big loss back to the Texas Tech
1:07:43
forty nine at a time out taken by Kyle Whittingham
1:07:46
with a minute three to play.
1:07:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this this was kind of a challenge for
1:07:49
this went in.
1:07:50
Speaker 4: Three seconds in the second quarter Utah. That's called their
1:07:54
first charge time out thirty seconds in life.
1:07:57
Speaker 2: Well, those open field tackles have just been really kind
1:08:01
of a challenge for Utah and even Jackson Benny and
1:08:03
right there, great play on a great player too, and
1:08:06
a guy who's got a motor and who.
1:08:08
Speaker 1: Was and caught that screen. Looked like he could have
1:08:10
been a big play.
1:08:11
Speaker 2: But just so you're seeing that improvement, I mean, you're
1:08:14
you're seeing an evolution with Jackson Benny that's just been
1:08:17
really impressive and easiest is.
1:08:20
Speaker 1: A playmaker and he's gonna be a big star here.
1:08:22
For Utah. It's gonna be really interesting here to see
1:08:24
how they play this. Do you play it conservative seven
1:08:27
point leads you're gonna get the ball coming out, or
1:08:29
do you take a chance, take a shot down the field,
1:08:31
stop the clock and give you tell the ball back.
1:08:33
Speaker 2: Well you even consider a field goal here? You know,
1:08:37
three points seems to be at a premium in this
1:08:39
game right now.
1:08:40
Speaker 1: I think I think Tack will be a little bit
1:08:42
aggressive in their play call. It'll be interesting to see
1:08:44
third down at twenty two. They probably need about ten
1:08:47
to eleven yards to be at field goal range. Theyvotioned
1:08:51
Jacobe Williams out throwing the screen over the middle. It's
1:08:55
caught look out into the open field to tight end tackle.
1:08:58
Did the Utah forty yard line smith snow made the
1:09:01
open field tackle on Terrence Carter and that'll bring up
1:09:04
fourth down and Utah takes the time for four seconds
1:09:08
in the second quarter.
1:09:09
Speaker 4: Utah has called their second charge time out thirty seconds.
1:09:13
Speaker 1: Anyway, I don't think they'll attempt the field goal here
1:09:17
because if you miss it and Utah's Greek got great
1:09:20
starting field position, you're gonna get the ball coming out.
1:09:22
If your tech just punted peep and then Utah's got
1:09:25
only one time out.
1:09:26
Speaker 2: Remaining before halftime. But they've got the kicker out there.
1:09:29
That's Stone Harrington. He's hit for forty seven this year.
1:09:32
But be a big risk if you if you're Joey McGuire,
1:09:36
well that you know they know their kicker. They know
1:09:38
it's altitude too, and you've seen some of those kicks
1:09:41
have gone in the end zone. I think with the
1:09:44
I think with the way their defense is playing though,
1:09:48
you can be a little bit more risky and take
1:09:49
some take some more chances.
1:09:51
Speaker 1: They're going to attempt it here. It's to be a
1:09:53
fifty nine fifty eight yard field goal from just inside
1:09:57
the left hash. It'll be almost fifty nine when they
1:09:59
put down.
1:10:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jackson Benny's in there and he's that guy, he's
1:10:05
that Caleb Lohner guy from from before.
1:10:07
Speaker 1: So fifty eight yard attempt here for Stone Harrington with
1:10:11
fifty four seconds to play. Here, the first half snap
1:10:19
is down, the kick is away, it's high, it's end
1:10:22
over end, and it is good. He drilled it with
1:10:27
plenty to spare and it's ten to nothing TECH with
1:10:31
forty eight seconds to play before halftime. Well, they know
1:10:35
their kicker, Scott, that kid's got a leg. Yeah, it
1:10:37
really does. And that's huge.
1:10:38
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's very good clock manage, Mary Derek.
1:10:41
You get a call, get you know, at least ten yards,
1:10:43
give yourself a shot at the shot at a legitimate
1:10:45
field goal. Now, now Utah really needs to turn the
1:10:48
table here, find a way to get something before half,
1:10:51
to really answer to this, because really you're almost down
1:10:54
two possessions in this game.
1:10:55
Speaker 1: With what's what's just happened, You've only got one hundred
1:10:58
and twelve yards of total offense. By the way, that's
1:11:00
drive seven plays thirteen yards. Again, the defense did a
1:11:02
great job, Yeah, they really did. I mean they did
1:11:05
what they needed to do to, you know, to stop
1:11:08
on a short field here. And you know, normally a
1:11:11
field goal is a win for a defense. Be nice
1:11:16
if you could get a return here, if you're Utah
1:11:20
Rayshawn Glover and his own goal line here, Harrington, we
1:11:23
just saw his leg, but he's gotta breeze in his back.
1:11:25
I'd be surprised if his wall he is at about
1:11:28
eight to ten yards, step in the end some high
1:11:34
and and dover d it will be a touchback. It's
1:11:36
Devin dan Pierre who's had a average first half and
1:11:40
then the turnover. We'll have it first in ten of
1:11:43
his own twenty five, and we know Dylan Turnus has
1:11:47
a big leg and Utah is gonna need to get
1:11:49
it to probably the Texas Tech thirty five thirty seven
1:11:53
yard line for Kyle Winningham to field. Good about a
1:11:55
field goal of ten. Yeah, it's all about leadership. You
1:11:57
know they talk about Devon being the lever, Well, how
1:11:59
do you add after an interception? What are you gonna do?
1:12:02
And this is this is that opportunity to show your.
1:12:04
Speaker 2: Leader you've got you got time out, you got a
1:12:06
time out, You've got plenty of time.
1:12:07
Speaker 1: You can get a score first in ten for the
1:12:11
twenty five. Damn Pier's gonna throw just a four man rush,
1:12:14
lots of time. Throws to the outside pot and out
1:12:17
of bounce quickly is Tobias Merriweather picked up about six
1:12:21
yards on the play after the thirty one yard light
1:12:23
clock stop for forty three seconds to play. Jacob Rodriguez
1:12:27
forcing out of bounce and they're gonna give you that throw.
1:12:29
There's in quarters coverage. That little short out is always
1:12:32
open in corners coverage. Second down for the thirty one.
1:12:36
You'll back pedal again. A little looping stunt to the
1:12:39
outside caught Ryan Davis caught it. That's gonna be a
1:12:42
first down. The clock will stop momentarily to the thirty
1:12:44
seven dot. T Balfour made the tackle. Then they'll set
1:12:48
it and roll it with thirty nine seconds now the
1:12:50
clock rolling first in ten damp pier to pass again,
1:12:54
looking down the field, throwing down the field again and
1:12:56
out of bounds. Goes down at Bentley and about the
1:12:59
forty two yard line. I've clock stops thirty one seconds
1:13:01
to play man down, will get that awareness. Those guys
1:13:04
are gonna go to his legs if.
1:13:05
Speaker 2: He hops over to that guy runs down the sideline
1:13:07
for another fifteen twenty yards.
1:13:10
Speaker 1: First in ten Utah, or may get second down in
1:13:12
five Utah. They're own forty two thirty one seconds before halftime.
1:13:16
One time out remains for the use. They appear to
1:13:19
pass again, low snap, backpedals, breads off the edge, throwing down.
1:13:22
If that's gotta be a hold, that it is. He
1:13:25
was going long for Tobias Merriweather and he got held up.
1:13:28
Is it a hold or is it a pass interference.
1:13:31
That will be the difference. They're gonna say pass interference
1:13:33
and fifteen yards here for Utah.
1:13:42
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate that this penalty isn't more egregious. Well, you're
1:13:48
saving a touchdown for fifteen yards. We'll move it all
1:13:51
the way to the forty four of Texas Dead here's
1:13:54
the recorderence.
1:13:55
Speaker 4: Number twenty defense spotful automatic first.
1:13:58
Speaker 1: Oh spot foul so first and ten at the Texas
1:14:02
Tech forty four with twenty five seconds at a time
1:14:05
out remaining for Utah, if you can take a big
1:14:08
shot down the middle of the field, you'll have time
1:14:10
with your time out. They appear to pass, they'll rush
1:14:15
four now it delayed blitz to the outside. He throws
1:14:18
at Ryan Davis keeps his feet thirty five, still on
1:14:20
his feet down to the thirty two yard line and
1:14:22
a twelve yard game in a first down. Clock stops momentarily.
1:14:26
It's in eighteen seconds. You gotta get set and probably
1:14:29
spike it.
1:14:29
Speaker 2: Hero.
1:14:30
Speaker 1: Will you run a play? You run to play and
1:14:31
then you can still have your time out. Devin in
1:14:34
the shotgun back pedals to throw again, pressure off the edge,
1:14:38
taking a shot down the sideline incomplete, looking for Larry Simmons,
1:14:42
but he was held. No flag clock stops. With ten
1:14:44
seconds to play your infield goal range, You've got the
1:14:47
middle of the field. You could probably run two plays.
1:14:50
Speaker 2: Well, you want to get a little bit closer here
1:14:52
for your kicker, but I mean, you've got plenty of
1:14:53
leg on it. The one thing Devin doesn't want to
1:14:56
do is scramble around and waste the quarter, you know.
1:15:00
Speaker 1: Scrambling second down in ten ten seconds remain for Utah
1:15:04
the tech thirty two. Here's bamp here to pass again,
1:15:06
looking firing to the outside, caught and out of bounds.
1:15:10
That's Dollan Bentley again to the twenty eight four seconds
1:15:13
and now you're gonna have to bring your field goal
1:15:15
team out. You can go ahead, Dylan Curtis, who missed
1:15:18
three last week at Wyoming after making his first, we'll
1:15:21
have a shot here to finally get Utah on the board.
1:15:24
Speaker 2: Utah scores right here. That's a big answer. Getting points
1:15:28
at the end.
1:15:29
Speaker 1: Of the half. That's just a big, big, big deal.
1:15:31
If they can kick this case forty six yard field
1:15:33
goal from just inside the left hash out of the
1:15:35
hold of Ryan Phillips and a time out taken by
1:15:38
Texas Tech. They're gonna make the freshman think about this.
1:15:40
Speaker 4: Texas techs call or second charge timeouts.
1:15:43
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds in late See, sometimes it's nice when the
1:15:48
kicker gets to kick like that, just kind of get all.
1:15:50
Speaker 2: The nerves, all the nerves out of his out of
1:15:53
his quad recept muscle.
1:15:55
Speaker 1: You can kind of relax a little bit. That's the
1:15:58
biggest that's the biggest must on your body. Right, this
1:16:02
is the best ride of the day so far from
1:16:04
the University of Utah.
1:16:06
Speaker 2: Well, it's been all throws and like I said before
1:16:09
the drags started, Devin dam Pierre needed to answer back
1:16:12
after throwing an interception.
1:16:13
Speaker 1: He did. He puts the team in in position to
1:16:15
get a to get a field goal before the half.
1:16:18
Speaker 2: Still, though, you gotta understand you can there's some shot
1:16:22
plays against this quarter's coverage and you've gotta I hope
1:16:25
to see Utah make some adjustment in second half because predominant,
1:16:30
I want to say, maybe one or two plays they
1:16:32
haven't been in in that and so this this you know,
1:16:38
quarters coverage has been predominant and you got to you
1:16:41
gotta exploit it.
1:16:42
Speaker 1: Final play of the half coming, it'll be a forty
1:16:45
six yard field goal here. Four seconds remain. Devin dan
1:16:50
Pierre on the drive five of six thirty three yards
1:16:52
seventeen of twenty two for eighty six Tumpit dint get
1:16:55
dunk in the first half, big opportunity here for the pressurement.
1:16:58
Dylk Curtis trying to get Utah on the board before halftime.
1:17:03
Ryan Phillips will hold snap is good. The kick is away,
1:17:11
it's high, it's end over end, and it is no good.
1:17:14
He is the wide right. There's a flag down on
1:17:16
the play. Though there's a flag down on the play,
1:17:19
let's see what the flag is. Probably a hold. He
1:17:31
missed that wide right.
1:17:33
Speaker 4: Personal foul rouffing the kicker number fourteen defense.
1:17:37
Speaker 1: That penalty will be enforced fifteen yards.
1:17:40
Speaker 2: And we'll play one on time down the way the
1:17:42
kickers kicking it might put your offense back on the field. Look,
1:17:46
when a kicker doesn't have confidence, he just kind of
1:17:48
aims the ball and that's just kind of a hole.
1:17:51
Speaker 1: You just got to kick it with confidence and just correct.
1:17:54
So that penalty will be enforced. Half the distance to
1:17:56
the goal line still first out. Why half the distance
1:18:00
so all it's a distance inside the twenty isn't it
1:18:03
that should be fifteen the guard line. Yeah, I would
1:18:05
think so. Now it is fifteen. This is going to
1:18:09
be more like an extra point here. This will now
1:18:11
be a thirty two yard field goal. I hope that
1:18:15
Dylan Curtis could get this one through for Utah. Final
1:18:18
play of the half and up timed down staff back.
1:18:22
The kick is away, it's high, it's and andover ad
1:18:25
and it's good points on the board of the final
1:18:28
play of the first half ten to three Texas Tech.
1:18:31
Because we go to the locker room and Utah lets
1:18:34
out a big sigh after that play, we'll hear from
1:18:37
coach Witt, who's behinds the sy He's behind you. He's
1:18:42
right over there with television. There you go talking to
1:18:46
Fox TV. We'll get a word or two from Tyle Winningham,
1:18:48
who's defense has been pretty good here in the first half.
1:18:51
See if his offense can get jump started in the
1:18:53
second half. They had three points last week against Wyoming,
1:18:56
They've got three points in the first half today against
1:18:58
Texas Tech. Yeah, let's go downstairs justly and coach.
1:19:02
Speaker 3: Coach defensive matchup. What did you seeing from the Texas
1:19:05
Tech defense that is stopping offense.
1:19:07
Speaker 7: Well, we're not doing a good job in the old line.
1:19:09
We're not we're not controlling the line of scrimmage like
1:19:11
we should be. They're controlling the line of scrimmage. We're
1:19:13
not running the ball effectively.
1:19:15
Speaker 1: And we've turned it over three times. So we're gonna we're.
1:19:18
Speaker 7: Fortunately to be down just ten three.
1:19:20
Speaker 3: Coach, what is the game plan in the second half
1:19:22
to coming out with a little bit more energy.
1:19:23
Speaker 1: Defense is doing great, but how do we finish this game?
1:19:26
Speaker 7: Well, we're going to talk about it, make some adjustments,
1:19:28
but if we don't get into a rhythm offensively, it
1:19:31
doesn't look good.
1:19:32
Speaker 1: We gotta get in the rhythm. Thanks, coach. That what
1:19:35
you want to hear from your head coach right there,
1:19:37
not feeling good about the offense. Ten three at the half,
1:19:39
our first half, and that last field goal brought to
1:19:42
you by our friends at G two G. When you
1:19:45
eat one, you'll know. Halftime at Rice Ecles ten three,
1:19:48
Texas Tech back with the America First Credit Union halftime
1:19:51
show next at Tutah Football from ESPN seven hundred to
1:19:54
Youth Sports Radio Network. Curtis has a teed up kicking
1:19:57
south to north from his old thirty five yard line
1:19:59
high and end over end not retardable for Micah Hudson
1:20:03
Gay they visited Utah in the spring, opted to go
1:20:05
back to Texas Tech and Barren Morton took some shots
1:20:09
in that first half, but he's back out in the
1:20:11
second half. We'll start first and ten at his own
1:20:12
twenty five yard line.
1:20:14
Speaker 2: That wouldn't be surprised if Tech maybe tries to take
1:20:16
some shots down the field. They did find some success
1:20:19
running the ball up the middle of the field against
1:20:21
this defense, So let's see which way they go and
1:20:23
how they adjust and try to attack the shoots off defense.
1:20:27
Speaker 1: Cameron Dickie will be the tail back. He'll split receivers
1:20:30
wide to the left and two wide to the right
1:20:32
hand side on first and tent Tech ten three. As
1:20:35
we begin the second half, the laid hand off to
1:20:38
Dicky bounces outside and is caught up and taken down
1:20:42
at the twenty six yard line. Jackson Benny got him
1:20:44
as a flagg to play like Leo Hold here against
1:20:47
Texas Tech.
1:20:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of times you get that run to
1:20:50
the inside and it bounces out. The guy thinks he's
1:20:53
doing a good job and then he's not going to
1:20:54
get a hold.
1:20:56
Speaker 1: It is going against Tech.
1:20:58
Speaker 2: They're looking into the Utah sidelight to see if they wanted.
1:21:00
Speaker 1: I think you move him back here. I would in
1:21:02
this situation.
1:21:03
Speaker 4: Personal fall face mask Number three offense, half the distance
1:21:07
to the wild still first down.
1:21:09
Speaker 1: That was on a wide receiver, koy Akin. You don't
1:21:12
see that very often, especially on a play where he
1:21:14
was blocking.
1:21:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, so often. Face masks are so incidental, and you
1:21:18
just get a hold of that thing and you just
1:21:20
can't seem to let go. You just it's almost human
1:21:23
tendency to just kind of hold on and tug a little.
1:21:26
Speaker 1: First down in twenty three. Now back at the twelve
1:21:28
yard line per Tech scour receivers of the pattern, this
1:21:31
time four down linemen for Utah tight ended motion. Oh
1:21:37
it's gonna pass, flags fly, and what do we have?
1:21:40
I think that's gonna be procedure on Tech. The north
1:21:42
end zone got loud fire and staff full start.
1:21:48
Speaker 4: Number seven offense, five yard penelty still first down.
1:21:53
Speaker 1: The right tackle Jacob Potton, the red shirt freshman, started
1:21:56
a little early, so it's now first in twenty eight.
1:21:59
Speaker 2: Hey, it's a good move when your defense is actually
1:22:02
being offensive here moving the ball down to score.
1:22:06
Speaker 1: It's as loud as you can get in that north
1:22:08
end zone right now. You can't let him out of
1:22:11
the hole here though, if you're Utah back at the
1:22:13
e seven yard line, two tights and two wides, Dicky
1:22:19
in the backfield first and twenty eight hand off straight ahead,
1:22:23
Dicky going nowhere. Nate Richie shot up from a strong
1:22:28
safety spot. Logan foto there as well. Second down, lost
1:22:31
the yard, and I'll tell you that that north end
1:22:34
zone is loud. I used to sit in that end
1:22:37
zone and watch the games from the down on the field,
1:22:40
and it is loud. Second down in twenty eight, Orton
1:22:45
to pass pressure off the edge. He's gonna step up
1:22:48
and try to run. He's got the ten to the
1:22:51
seventeen and drilled there by John o'hall, and he's go oh.
1:22:55
The late flag comes in, it might be helmet to
1:22:58
helmet on John o'hall. Apparent Morton is down. I just
1:23:01
don't think so.
1:23:02
Speaker 2: I thought he got him with the shoulder. I really
1:23:04
thought he'd led with the shoulder. And I don't know
1:23:06
they tackled John Henry Daily in the in the end zone.
1:23:09
Speaker 1: I don't know how that was in the hold. Barrett
1:23:12
Morton slow to get up. That was a hard hit
1:23:14
by John new Hall. But he was not sliding on
1:23:16
the play now, he wasn't.
1:23:17
Speaker 2: He was moving forward. It really looked like John O
1:23:20
got him with his shoulder. We'll see what happens.
1:23:24
Speaker 1: I gather around him right now, checking him out. He
1:23:26
took a big shot in the first half. Had to
1:23:28
come out when he's two flags on the play. Well,
1:23:31
there's certainly a hole on John Daly here. I mean
1:23:34
he gets he just gives no flag for that though,
1:23:38
and he's diving forward. He led with he said harding
1:23:42
him the seven.
1:23:44
Speaker 2: Two fangs pret this players under review, I don't I
1:23:48
don't think they'll change that. Well, you've just let him
1:23:53
out of the hole. Now you've absolutely left them out
1:23:57
of the hole with the first down, and now you're
1:23:59
gonna lose one of your best defensive players at John
1:24:02
oh Hall ducks his head.
1:24:06
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean he kind of glances in
1:24:08
with the side. The helmet looks like it hits his
1:24:11
the shoal shoulder hits his shoulder hits his head. So
1:24:15
I don't know.
1:24:16
Speaker 2: But I mean the quarterbacks leading with his head as
1:24:19
much as anything in that situation. Well, penalties giventh and
1:24:28
penalties take away. So we'll see how this turns out.
1:24:33
Speaker 1: This would be a monumental penalty on Utah because it
1:24:36
would get Texas Tech out of a big hole. Is
1:24:39
Barrett Morton okay, that's really the question for Okay, it
1:24:45
was his shoulder. It was a shoulder. Well, good for
1:24:47
the officials because you just never know in that situation,
1:24:50
you don't. I feel like we've gotten more clarity the
1:24:53
last year or two of targeting than we had to.
1:24:55
We used to joke we didn't know what targeting was
1:24:58
and what it was. Will Hammond's the quarterback of the
1:25:00
ball game. Right now, Baron Morton's out and he's got
1:25:03
himself a third down and eighteen of his own seventeen
1:25:06
yard line.
1:25:07
Speaker 2: Now you're gonna see it run. You're gonna see a
1:25:08
screen here. They don't want to put this quarterback. It's
1:25:12
just coming the game in a bad situation.
1:25:15
Speaker 1: They might we'll see third down Tech for their own seventeen.
1:25:20
Moving on the left side, Blacks fly John Henry Daily
1:25:24
drew another penalty on Texas Tech fall start number fifty
1:25:31
six offense. Every member of the Texas tech offensive line
1:25:37
today has now been called for a false start. The
1:25:40
left guard, the right guard, the left tackle, the right
1:25:42
tackle in the center. All five have gotten it, and
1:25:45
it's now third down in twenty three. You're gonna see
1:25:48
it run right here there. They're gonna have to be
1:25:52
really surprised if they've dropped back to Tarlo football year.
1:25:58
He'll pass, He's gonna keep it him help and go nowhere.
1:26:01
He's swarmed under back of the line of scrimmage, and
1:26:04
that'll bring up fourth down. John Henry daily again and
1:26:08
the north end zone does its job. It's fourth down. Yeah,
1:26:11
I tell you.
1:26:12
Speaker 2: John Henry is having a ballgame. They can't stop him.
1:26:15
The north end zones having a ballgame. And this is
1:26:18
again one of those situations where you get a you
1:26:21
get a shot at a return here where you're gonna
1:26:23
OutKick your coverage.
1:26:26
Speaker 1: From the end zone. Jack Burgess, good snap kick is away.
1:26:30
It's good punt too.
1:26:32
Speaker 2: Glover's gonna backpedal and take it at his own thirty
1:26:35
four juggles, it spins out of a tackle.
1:26:37
Speaker 1: He's gonna be dropped. Goodness gracious, all the way back
1:26:40
of the twenty five. He lost ten yards and John
1:26:43
Curry made the tackle for Texas Tech. That's a killer
1:26:46
right there.
1:26:47
Speaker 2: Well, and what was good about the punt for Texas Tech.
1:26:49
It was on the sideline. He didn't really have a
1:26:51
two way go there, so it made it easier to
1:26:53
cover him. That ball's in the middle fields a different deal.
1:26:55
Speaker 1: So fifty four yards and lost nine on the return. Well,
1:26:59
the good thing is.
1:27:00
Speaker 2: The defense really showed up in that first drive and
1:27:02
kind of answered back here for Utah, Now can.
1:27:04
Speaker 1: The offense do the same thing. They come to the
1:27:06
field brought to you by bud light. You seem to
1:27:08
drink it easy to enjoy. First to ten Utah from
1:27:20
their own twenty five opening drive of the second half
1:27:23
of the Utah offense down ten three Andrews and Rogers
1:27:28
in the backfield. They handed to Rogers, he's not going anywhere.
1:27:31
He picks up a yard, maybe two, they'll give me
1:27:34
a yard to the There's just nothing running inside right now.
1:27:36
Paul Waznuski was there. But those big tackles are just
1:27:39
clogging it all up. Yeah, they really are.
1:27:41
Speaker 2: And and so it's it's off the tackle edge before
1:27:45
you get outside, where is where you're really gonna have
1:27:48
the play if you can run it.
1:27:50
Speaker 1: Utterer Andrews goes out limping off the sideline. Second down
1:27:53
and almost eight for Utah. See, now you're in a
1:27:59
tough set, wat because you probably gotta run it again.
1:28:01
You don't want to be in third Alarm Parker the
1:28:05
tailback play action rule to the right here for Devin
1:28:08
dan Pierre throwing down the field, skips it, ball, takes
1:28:10
an inflection, wasn't a very good pass? Was trying to
1:28:13
find Ryan Davis. That brings up third down and eight.
1:28:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, very well covered there. I don't know that there
1:28:19
was a lot, a lot to see. I mean a
1:28:21
little play action here. Uh you know, I think he
1:28:24
was throwing the little Yeah.
1:28:26
Speaker 1: Ben Robertson, middle linebacker got his hand on it. So
1:28:29
third down and eight. Now for Utah. The four of
1:28:32
may get three of eight on third down. It's a
1:28:35
passing down in the utes, tech will rush four lots
1:28:40
of times throwing outside.
1:28:43
Speaker 6: Almost intercepted and wasn't it is it's an interception at
1:28:47
the year top thirty.
1:28:48
Speaker 1: Four field is an interception by a defense first down.
1:28:52
Dante Balfour came up with it and Devin dam Pierre
1:28:57
made a terrible decision and I think it's gonna be
1:28:59
in complete. I think it's going to be incomplete.
1:29:02
Speaker 2: That took a hop. That's a one hopper to the
1:29:05
shortstop on that one, he missed Dwalo Bentley three yards
1:29:08
wide that time. Well, yeah, that ball's bouncing on the ground.
1:29:13
And the thing is is, you know, Devin's got to
1:29:16
take time on that throw. Look he had he had Bentley.
1:29:20
I don't know he's going to get the first down,
1:29:22
but he's uh, you know, just a little bit erratic
1:29:26
with that throw and and and rush and he didn't
1:29:28
really need to be.
1:29:30
Speaker 1: Previous play of an interception is under the gear. Yeah,
1:29:33
it's not going to be reviewed very long. You could
1:29:36
see from the backside look at it skipped to it. Yeah,
1:29:39
I'm telling you what. I don't think Baron Morton's coming
1:29:41
back in this game. You know, I wonder what the
1:29:43
REvil Hammond is going to be. I think the quarterback here.
1:29:46
Speaker 2: The review process so we're actually seeing what they see
1:29:49
in command center here, and that's a that's a new
1:29:52
technology to kind of give the fan a more in
1:29:54
depth look and see what everyone else is seeing. So
1:29:58
that they want to have the super trans parent on
1:30:00
the action on the field, and I think it at
1:30:03
a didn't even look very long after a view moving
1:30:06
on the field was an incomplete pass.
1:30:08
Speaker 1: And the fourth eight at the twenty seven yard line.
1:30:10
Goodness gracious, Kawk catches a big break there. That was
1:30:14
not a good pass by Devin Way wide of and
1:30:17
to be fair, that wasn't gonna get a first down anyway.
1:30:19
It was going to get be probably two three yards
1:30:21
shot though, and Ryan Phillips on the punt. Look they're lanes,
1:30:25
they're in too deep. I mean Devon can run for
1:30:29
eight yards. Gentfrey on to return the punt or Ryan
1:30:34
Phillips on the punt again for Utah high hanging kick.
1:30:39
Gentrey is going to backpenal fair catch it last second
1:30:42
in his own twenty two yard line, and that's where
1:30:45
Tech will take over first and ten. And it's not
1:30:47
gonna be Baron Morton. It's gonna be the backup quarterback
1:30:50
Will Hammond. When we get back fifty one yard punt

1:31:22
seen this kind of offensive performance by Utah so far
1:31:24
this year, and to be very fair, give Texas Tech
1:31:27
a lot of credit because they're doing exactly what they
1:31:29
need to do defensively.
1:31:30
Speaker 2: When you do a good job defensively, as you get
1:31:32
a team out of what they're comfortable doing. And Utah
1:31:35
is a kind of dink and dunk patchwork type of offense.
1:31:39
They're just taking all of that away and just daring
1:31:42
Utah to take the ball down the field, and Utah
1:31:45
has itself.
1:31:45
Speaker 1: Barren Morton remains out the backup will Hammon, who started
1:31:48
the Liberty Bowl a year ago, in the ball game
1:31:51
first and ten from his own twenty one nine four
1:31:54
receivers up in the four nation to Kobe Williams, next
1:31:56
to it Ninkau bringing up Litz off the edge. Here
1:31:59
they come down. Oh he gets away from it. He
1:32:02
gets away and picks up four yards to the twenty five.
1:32:05
Good this gracious? Was that date Ritchie? Oh it looked
1:32:08
like Richie had him in the backfield and then let
1:32:11
him get away.
1:32:12
Speaker 2: Oh he almost had him. I think it was a
1:32:14
quarter or a safety blitz off the edge.
1:32:16
Speaker 1: No, it was Lander Barton. No, they just brought their
1:32:19
linebackers and it was Lander covered that up very nicely,
1:32:22
you know they and they did a nice surprise. Should
1:32:24
have had him in the backfield.
1:32:26
Speaker 2: They're gonna challenge his young quarterback who does have experience.
1:32:30
Speaker 1: Second down at six. See if they give this ball
1:32:33
to to Kilby Williams. Yep they do. Williams darts in,
1:32:38
darts out, breaks a couple of tackles and picks up
1:32:41
a yard to the twenty six. That guy is hard
1:32:44
to tackle. Trey drey Reynolds got him after a short date.
1:32:48
Speaker 2: A lot of times those guys are hard because can't
1:32:50
see him. They get behind that line a little and
1:32:53
then all of a sudden they're on you, and then
1:32:54
they're buy you before you have any time to react.
1:32:58
Speaker 1: Four out of nine. On third down of the red race,
1:33:00
they face a third and five for their own twenty six.
1:33:03
Williams of the backfield checkdowns are always favorites for backup
1:33:07
quarterbacks just in ball games. Keep an eye on the
1:33:10
tight end to the left slot. Now theft to the
1:33:12
backfield with five wide receivers, who comes that crossing route
1:33:15
to Williams again, Utah's gonna rush four here up the middle.
1:33:19
Speaker 2: They come hit as he throws toots. What a grab
1:33:23
by Douglas at the Texas Tech forty five.
1:33:26
Speaker 1: There wasn't one. There were two Utah defenders there and
1:33:30
he went up to getting Yeah, I almost get to
1:33:32
him right there.
1:33:33
Speaker 2: And it's amazing how they even touched that ball right there,
1:33:36
because I mean, that's tight coverage.
1:33:38
Speaker 1: That's easily picked off. Hand off Jakobe Williams bouncing outside
1:33:43
and tripped up by John o'vall after a gain of
1:33:45
a yard to the forty six. That was a heck
1:33:48
of a throw too by Hammond with a guy right
1:33:50
in his face. There really was. And this play right
1:33:53
here is a great job by John who maintains his
1:33:56
leverage and great tackle on a great player. Pistol formation
1:34:00
hand off again. No quarterback keeper throwing the flat to
1:34:03
the tight end and he slips and falls down at
1:34:06
the fifty yard line. Turf Monster got him. Terrence Carter
1:34:09
picks up four yards. But it's gonna be about third
1:34:12
down and we'll call it four at the fifty yard
1:34:14
line here for Tech. And I think your quarterback is
1:34:16
gonna be bad. But this guy has played a lot
1:34:18
this year. It's early on in the season, so he's
1:34:21
not been sitting on the bench all season. And he
1:34:23
played a year ago, so he's he's very comfortable and capable.
1:34:27
One for one on the drive, five for ten of
1:34:30
the game or Texas Tech. They motioned the tail back
1:34:33
out of the backfield. Hammond throws in the flat, has
1:34:37
the tight ends that he's taken down. Does he fumble
1:34:40
the balls out? But they're gonna call him down at
1:34:42
the Tech forty six yard line. Oh, it popped out
1:34:45
to Jackson Benny John oh Hall made the tackle part
1:34:48
of the ball tom and loose. Gonna be fourth down.
1:34:52
In the continuing immediate packs, the number twenty three recovered
1:34:55
the ball fourth down. Tell you what John Ouhall is
1:34:59
having a ball game, right? I don't know if that
1:35:02
I don't know.
1:35:03
Speaker 2: It looked like that ball might have been coming out
1:35:05
as he's going to the ground. I didn't quite see
1:35:06
that replay right there.
1:35:07
Speaker 1: But punt team comes on here for Tech. Won't matter
1:35:12
now play is underway, kick is away. Rayshawn Glover is
1:35:15
gonna fair catch this and actually let it hit and
1:35:17
it checks up and it's gonna be killed at the
1:35:20
Utah one yard line. Man old man, fifty two yard punt.
1:35:28
Utah is gonna have a ninety nine yard field in
1:35:30
front of him when we get back. Today's broadcast brought
1:35:34
to you by Smith proud sponsor of University of Utah
1:35:37
Appletic Smiths Fresh from Everyone eight thirty two to play
1:35:40
at the third ten to three tech here at Rice
1:35:43
ecl Stadium. This is Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred
1:35:46
eight Sports Radio Network, ninety nine yard field base in Utah.
1:35:50
Here first and tenth in their own one yard line
1:35:52
down ten three here midway through the third broadcasting.
1:35:56
Speaker 2: He brought to you by Minkey co urm Blanket sees
1:35:58
it all the way. It's your minky coach or Blankets.
1:36:00
If their six retail locations or online got a hard
1:36:04
count them here because you can't go any further back
1:36:06
than you are, but you can't gain five yards and
1:36:09
legends are born on ninety nine yard drives.
1:36:12
Speaker 1: Phil can't go backwards on display either. Otherwise it's two
1:36:16
quick ones for Texas Tech Jumbo package in the carry
1:36:22
Rogers with a full back in front. They turn it,
1:36:27
give it the Rogers bounces outside, gets back up field,
1:36:30
spins down to Wow piles still moving. I do about
1:36:35
the seven yard line the car. He picks up six.
1:36:39
Nicely done. It looked like you pick up about two,
1:36:41
and then he picked up five more.
1:36:42
Speaker 2: Well, they had a nice scrum right there, right in
1:36:44
front of the muss. They got in the Muss on
1:36:47
that one and got on the bus and got that.
1:36:48
Speaker 1: That's a huge player right there, just did oh gosh,
1:36:51
a lot of breathing room. And there's never anything wrong
1:36:54
with six yards on first down, money of the bank.
1:36:57
Rogers stays at the ballgame. Devin backs up into the
1:36:59
shotgun on second down and four. Well, the seven yard
1:37:03
line grow outside behind Davis and incomplete great coverage by
1:37:08
Balfour on the outside. Yeah, that's just that's a hard throw. Scott.
1:37:14
Speaker 2: Well, it's hard, but it's also it's because press coverage
1:37:17
chair and the guy's just sitting on the rounde. If
1:37:19
you could have MND have called past interference in that situation.
1:37:23
Third down in four here for Utah. They're three out
1:37:25
of nine in the game. Hole for one here in
1:37:27
the second half.
1:37:28
Speaker 1: You do not want to give the.
1:37:29
Speaker 2: Ball right back to Texas Tech. Double moves down here
1:37:32
are also really good.
1:37:33
Speaker 1: Pump it and go for the six yard line. Emotion
1:37:39
Rogers out of the backfield. Devin throws the Blankers screen
1:37:42
up the field, gets nothing, absolutely nothing. In fact, they
1:37:46
may lose a yard back to the five yard line.
1:37:49
Bryce Pollock blew it up. JJ Buchanan caught it, but
1:37:53
there was nowhere to run. Yeah, and you know the
1:37:55
block the block.
1:37:56
Speaker 2: The guy's coming from the inside, so he's gonna block out.
1:37:59
You got to shoot up to the inside and if
1:38:03
you can and just runs right into where the guy's
1:38:04
being blocked.
1:38:05
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'm in love with that play, you know,
1:38:08
in that situation either, not prout. I'm just not sure
1:38:11
why you don't run twice when he gets six on
1:38:13
first out, Ryan Phillips from his own end zone to
1:38:17
punt it away. Solid kick, not spectacular. They're gonna let
1:38:21
it hit. It checks up at the fifty and goes
1:38:23
out of bounds right there. Forty five yard punt, no return.
1:38:27
But that's where Tech will begin first and ten. Will
1:38:29
we get back in anemic offensive day for Utah one
1:38:32
hundred and fifty two total yards if Tech scott it
1:38:34
at midfield first and ten. This is Utah football from
1:38:38
ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports Radio Network Today. Second half.
1:38:42
He brought you by University of Utah, help trusted healthcare
1:38:44
provider for the huge family nords find them online, and
1:38:47
you helped dot org slash huts. Here's a spatchtad. I
1:38:50
didn't want to give Utah's two second half drives. Three plays,
1:38:55
two yards, punt fifty five seconds, three plays, five yards
1:38:58
punt a minute three seconds.
1:39:02
Speaker 2: Well, the good thing is that Tech second has been
1:39:04
about as anemik, so you're not wearing out your defense.
1:39:07
Speaker 1: But ball's a fifty yard line. A lot of times
1:39:09
teams like to take a big shot right here. Wouldn't
1:39:13
be surprised if you see something going downfield, double move
1:39:16
or something. See what Morgan Scalley dials up for this
1:39:20
red shirt freshman quarterback Will Hammond Barren Morton out of
1:39:23
the ball game, knocked out on a hit by John
1:39:25
o'hall from the fifty yard line first in ten Tech
1:39:29
seven twenty nine to play here in the third quarter,
1:39:33
three receivers, tight end and tail back Jakobe Williams Utah
1:39:38
will rush four here on first and ten. Utah playing
1:39:42
off coverage. Tight end comes in motion, so does the
1:39:46
wide receiver. Hammond throws into the flat to Virgil. He's
1:39:49
got it up in the field and he's going to
1:39:51
be tackled in the open field by night Richie. After
1:39:54
a gain of eight yards to the forty two of Utah,
1:39:58
and they don't need to get many yards to and
1:40:00
field goal range here. Now they're gonna go with tempo.
1:40:02
On second down and two, no huddle. They get quickly
1:40:04
into the line of scrimmage just Texas Tech Utah can't sup.
1:40:08
Utah will come to the line, Jacobe Williams bouncing to
1:40:11
the outside and he's got first down yardage. He should
1:40:15
have been stopped in the backfield. He picks up two
1:40:17
and that's the first down to the forty yard line.
1:40:18
Tackle by Jackson Benny.
1:40:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, those running backs are really good at changing direction, finding.
1:40:25
Speaker 1: The little crease of the defense and then just exploding
1:40:27
through it. Six forty five clock running person to ten
1:40:32
to the Utah forty for the Red Raiders. Hammond to
1:40:37
the gun to laid handoff again by Williams, and he'll
1:40:41
pick up five to the thirty five yard line, and
1:40:43
he's wrapped up and taken down right there by Levanni
1:40:46
Demoni about four and a half almost five yards. Now
1:40:49
they're gonna go quickly and get into the line of scrimmage.
1:40:51
Utah will sub quickly here press coverage now for Utah,
1:40:57
Williams stays in the ball game. They give it to
1:40:59
him again, this time drags Tech. He's only five foot ten,
1:41:04
but that guy drags tacklers. Picked up three to Moody
1:41:06
again with a tackle third down to two.
1:41:08
Speaker 2: That looks like Texas Tech's answer to this game is
1:41:11
to run the football. This is the air raid offense
1:41:15
in the you know, twenty first century.
1:41:18
Speaker 1: They gotta run the football. They're five of eleven on
1:41:21
third down. They've got to pick up two one for three.
1:41:23
Here in the half, Dicky comes in a tailback. He's
1:41:26
a little bit bigger guy. Hammond out of the gun.
1:41:30
Utah shifts up front Hammond's gonna keep it himself, and
1:41:34
what do we have, Blacks fly and we're gonna have
1:41:36
procedure again here.
1:41:37
Speaker 2: I think on Texas ten it's a good team because
1:41:40
Hammond was running into the open field.
1:41:42
Speaker 4: Start number seventy nine offense five yard tenndy turned.
1:41:46
Speaker 1: Down second fall start today on Tim Simpson the left tackle,
1:41:51
and so instead of third and two, it's third down
1:41:53
at seven and it might be four down territory here
1:41:56
for Texas.
1:41:56
Speaker 2: Ten, or a field goal goes a long way for
1:41:59
them in this game. With how the Utah offense has
1:42:03
not scored.
1:42:06
Speaker 1: Dick you the tail back, two receivers left, one to
1:42:09
the right hand side, tight end Carter in the right slot,
1:42:15
Hammond and the gun here comes Utah. They set up
1:42:18
the screen, it's red and he is taken down behind
1:42:21
the line of scrimmage. An excellent open field tackle by
1:42:25
Nate Richie. And that'll bring up fourth down in extremely
1:42:30
long and we'll see if they keep the offense out
1:42:32
or try that field. I think they're gonna try a
1:42:33
field goal again because they did at the end of
1:42:35
the half. No, that's the punter coming out. I gotta
1:42:38
pit Utah deeper and why not that play right there?
1:42:42
Speaker 2: Was that a Kansas City Chiefs play where it's it's
1:42:45
a design screen and the defenders did a great job
1:42:48
of reading the screeners.
1:42:50
Speaker 1: They all just come down and try to block you,
1:42:51
and just a great read and and reaction on that play.
1:42:55
Glover at the ten that he doesn't let it hit again.
1:43:00
Burgess's putt high and end go over end, and Glover
1:43:03
is gonna let it hit again, and it checks up
1:43:06
and gets touched at about the eight yard line. It'll
1:43:12
say nine yard line, and that's where Utah will take
1:43:15
over verse to ten. When we get back. Utah has
1:43:18
a grand total of seven yards here in the second half.
1:43:21
Let's see if they can add too at ninety three
1:43:23
yard field if well, get back for twenty nine to
1:43:25
play here at the third quarter ten to three, Texas
1:43:27
Tech the ESPN seven hundred eight Sports You Radio Network.
1:43:31
Speaker 2: Can you if you've credit Union's reward checking gives you
1:43:33
points for simply doing your thing.
1:43:35
Speaker 1: Visit KENYTHUCU dot com today federally is sure n CUA
1:43:39
downstairs for a sign line up? They slide what you got?
1:43:43
Defense is playing absolutely amazing right now. They understand they
1:43:46
got the backup quarterback game.
1:43:47
Speaker 3: They're gonna do things to try to keep it honestly
1:43:51
and safe for that quarterback. There's gonna be opportunities that
1:43:54
quarterbacks and the hold ont to the ball. They gotta
1:43:56
punch the ball nout. But the defense is doing great.
1:43:59
They're running the football. Defensive lines are a little tired,
1:44:02
but they got to stop this running gaining.
1:44:04
Speaker 1: So I thank you that sideline up they brought to
1:44:06
you by Ken Garth. We hear you ninety one yard
1:44:09
field here, Scot and keep asking you what's the offense
1:44:12
gotta do? Give me something here well, and I'm gonna
1:44:14
keep saying what I see out there.
1:44:16
Speaker 2: I mean, you got to attack the middle of the field.
1:44:17
I think throwing when they expect you to run play
1:44:20
action would be a great thing.
1:44:21
Speaker 1: Right here.
1:44:22
Speaker 2: Got to take a shot down field and the first
1:44:24
three gains total. Utah has thrown eight passes that have
1:44:27
been over fifteen yards.
1:44:30
Speaker 1: It will be Smith's Stowe coming in the weapon on
1:44:33
offense in the backfield right now with Devin Dan Pier
1:44:36
trio receivers. Now they shift him on to the right
1:44:38
hand side. Save one. Devin in the backfield by himself
1:44:43
keeps it himself straight ahead beyond the ten. It dives
1:44:46
out to about the thirteen yard line. Gotta be a
1:44:49
gain of four positive yardage. Pick the end around the stoats.
1:44:52
Nowski made the tackle, and that's been the thing that's
1:44:55
worked well for Utah.
1:44:56
Speaker 2: You know, you've got all these options, got Smith's out,
1:45:00
got the potential of pass.
1:45:01
Speaker 1: You got Devin Dampier on the run. Use that eye
1:45:04
candy when you have it clock running with about four
1:45:06
h five to play into third ten to three tech
1:45:08
second down in six play action pass this time for
1:45:12
Devin damp Pier dumps it off into the flat. That's
1:45:14
gonna be first down yardage way Sean Parker ran across
1:45:17
the twenty to the twenty two yard line. Hey, there's
1:45:19
a nine yard game first down. Pollock comes over the
1:45:22
tackle for Texas.
1:45:23
Speaker 2: Tat I hear the frustration chair from the audience out
1:45:28
there that the fans are like, Hey, finally a nice
1:45:30
play on second down.
1:45:31
Speaker 1: See if they can take advantage of altitude in the
1:45:33
home field here. You're gonna hold the snap as the
1:45:37
substitutions came in late, plenty of time with the play
1:45:39
clock here for the University of Utah, damn. Pierre flexes
1:45:45
out now, he keeps it himself off the right hand side,
1:45:53
picks up a yard maybe two to the twenty four
1:45:56
yard line. Not much there. I'd almost like to see
1:45:58
him just give it away.
1:45:58
Speaker 2: Sean Parker there, Yeah, that it's this tough sledding right there,
1:46:02
but it's you know, it's a counter It should be
1:46:05
it should work well there, and they just do a
1:46:06
nice job of blowing up the.
1:46:09
Speaker 1: Counter players and plugging that hole for it ever, develops
1:46:12
second down at eight o'clock, running inside of three to
1:46:15
play now here in the third Parker stays at the
1:46:17
ball game. Three receivers of the pattern here for Utah,
1:46:20
Tech comes up the press near the line of scrimmage.
1:46:23
Damp Pierre looking fires over the middle, pot gain out
1:46:27
to about the twenty eight yard line. That's hunter nik
1:46:30
a JJ Buchanan short gain of about four. It's gonna
1:46:33
bring up third down and four here for the use.
1:46:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, much much better, much more manageable third down here,
1:46:39
Devin's done that quite a bit where he's looks at
1:46:41
the left and thrown all the way back to his
1:46:42
right and had successful it.
1:46:44
Speaker 1: Utah hasn't converted a third down here in the second half.
1:46:47
It's third down and four from their own twenty eight
1:46:50
lander Barton comes in on the right hand side, damp
1:46:53
Pierre looking looking, looking, stepping.
1:46:56
Speaker 2: Throwing down the field as a man open any misstive
1:47:00
he opened at.
1:47:01
Speaker 1: The Tech forty. It was Tobias Merryweather again, and that's
1:47:05
twice today. Devin has missed a wide open Merryweather down
1:47:09
the field and that'll bring up fourth down.
1:47:14
Speaker 2: He could have run it for a first down there.
1:47:16
Just stay in the pocket. He's he doesn't need to
1:47:18
move out of the pocket. As soon as his feet
1:47:20
kind of get all tangled there and just you know,
1:47:23
sends his fan and pressure and just then it makes
1:47:26
just hard to deliver an accurate throw.
1:47:28
Speaker 1: So once again, the Utah punt team comes on Ryan
1:47:31
Phillips the puntt Tristan Gentry set to return this punt.
1:47:36
Here comes pressure, this time the good kick away from Phillips,
1:47:39
Gentry backpedaling inside of his fifteen and tackled immediately. That's
1:47:45
Luca Calderella, the wide receiver on special teams, who drops
1:47:49
into his own thirteen yard line a fifty eight yard
1:47:52
punt and he lost a yard on the return. A
1:47:55
heck of a special team's play by Corderella.
1:47:58
Speaker 2: Unbelievable right there. And he's been around the ball. You know,
1:48:02
this guy's been in the program for quite a while
1:48:04
and he's just trying to make his effort. But he
1:48:06
just could b lines for the return. Guy just doesn't
1:48:09
get off his track and drops him.
1:48:11
Speaker 1: Now they ask for the north end zone to come
1:48:13
to its feed. Will Hammond back of the ball game
1:48:16
for Texas Tech. I don't think we're probably gonna see
1:48:19
Baron Morton again today. Cameron Dickie the tail back, you've
1:48:26
got to kin get their own fourteen. Hammond hands to Dicky,
1:48:34
bounces to the outside and he stopped after a two
1:48:37
yard game to the sixteen yard line. Good pursuit of
1:48:39
the outside by Utah. Tao Johnson was there, Logan Fano
1:48:44
was there as well for Utah.
1:48:45
Speaker 2: Almost feels like there was a false start again right there.
1:48:47
But get the noise going, man, make them nervous and jittering.
1:48:55
Speaker 1: Man at thirty five to play here the third ten
1:48:59
to three check. They face the second and eight at
1:49:01
their own sixteen four man down front for Utah. Hammond's
1:49:08
gonna throw here. They come inside, caught hit dropped at
1:49:13
the twenty yard line. Reggie Virgil absolutely blown up by
1:49:17
lander Bart. That'll bring up third down. You could hear
1:49:21
that hit all the way up here.
1:49:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, lander Bart's about a half step from a pick
1:49:25
six right there. I mean it was almost right in
1:49:26
that lane half a second later, and that ball's in
1:49:29
the end zone.
1:49:31
Speaker 1: Red Raiders five out of twelve in the ballgame on
1:49:33
third down, one for four in this half. Will they
1:49:36
heat up Dicky?
1:49:37
Speaker 2: Here?
1:49:38
Speaker 1: Will they run it? Will Hammond backs up into the shotgun?
1:49:42
They showed just a four man rush aching in motion.
1:49:48
Hammond to throw outside, caught, Yes, Reggie Virgil at the
1:49:56
forty one yard line. A big pitch and catch and
1:50:00
a tech first down. Yeah, that's that. Uh do you
1:50:04
have control? I don't know. That ball looked like it
1:50:07
bounced off his chest and then came back down first down,
1:50:12
hand off Dickey wrapped up and take it down by
1:50:17
Nate Richie and John Henry Daily for no game at
1:50:19
the forty yard line. I thought that ball might have
1:50:24
looked like it might have a little bit nest off
1:50:25
his chest.
1:50:26
Speaker 2: We've not seen many reviews called from the booth today,
1:50:30
and that will take us to the end of the
1:50:31
third quarter here at receycl Stadium.
1:50:34
Speaker 1: It's been a defensive slog today and Texas Tech leaves
1:50:38
it after three. Ten to three are broadcast today, being
1:50:42
brought to you by University of Utah Health and Sports

1:50:55
This is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports
1:50:58
Radio Network from the third quarters which returns of the
1:51:02
fourth here in Rye, SEXLS ten to three. Texas Deck
1:51:04
Red Raiders had seventy seven yards of offense. Utah had
1:51:07
twenty six twenty nine on the ground, forty eight through
1:51:10
the air for Texas Tech, fourteen on the ground, third
1:51:12
twelve through the air for Utah and Texas Deck didn't
1:51:15
play more than half of that quarter with their starting
1:51:17
quarterback either.
1:51:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's been a defensive slug fest. And you know,
1:51:22
if you're if you're Kyle winningam you like this? If
1:51:26
you're the Texas Tech Red Raiders, you know this is
1:51:29
something that you're not not totally used to.
1:51:31
Speaker 1: But both these defensive tenses have been just outstanding. Here's
1:51:37
a stat Dave spataforst bat stat for you, Scott, that
1:51:40
does not bode well. Utah doesn't have a single chunk
1:51:43
play today. They don't have a play of ten yards
1:51:46
of war yet today.
1:51:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's been a it's been a challenge, and
1:51:52
I don't know that there's ever been a concerted effort
1:51:54
to try to have.
1:51:56
Speaker 1: A chunk player.
1:51:57
Speaker 2: I mean there was one time, but again, I would
1:52:00
love to see some play action on first down, take
1:52:04
shots down the middle of the field, and I just
1:52:06
haven't seen it.
1:52:06
Speaker 1: Though. Let me correct that they don't have a chunk
1:52:08
to play in the third quarter. They have very few
1:52:11
of the ball game second down in ten here for
1:52:14
Texas Tech, they leaded ten to three. They're at their
1:52:16
own forty yard line. They've got their backup quarterback Will
1:52:19
Hammond to the ballgame. Barren Morton was knocked out trying
1:52:22
to run the ball up the field on a shot
1:52:24
by John o'hawk. Cameron Dickie's his tailback. I bet they
1:52:27
take a shot right here, Scott, Yeah, I bet they
1:52:30
play action this and take a shot to one of
1:52:32
those guys down the middle of the field. They've got
1:52:34
man coverage to the bottom of the formation right here,
1:52:37
and man covers to the top. Just a single high
1:52:39
safety right now for Utah. Haven brings the slot receiver
1:52:46
aching in motion and he's gonna drop the pass. He
1:52:51
takes a shot down the field. He's got a man
1:52:53
out there, druggled and dropped off the fingertips of Caleb Douglas,
1:52:59
who he had a couple of big catches today in complete.
1:53:02
They took the shot. It was a good pass. He
1:53:05
just get hold on.
1:53:06
Speaker 2: That's a really good pass right there. And that's that's
1:53:08
the thing they like to do, and they're gonna do
1:53:10
it when they have a shot here.
1:53:12
Speaker 1: That was Hamlett's first in completion. He's seven of eight
1:53:15
for forty eight yards.
1:53:16
Speaker 2: And he's a guy that's comfortable. Like you know, it's
1:53:18
early on in the year, so he's gotten a lot
1:53:20
of time. You know, those non conference games. It helps
1:53:23
these backup players.
1:53:24
Speaker 1: Red Raiders six of thirteen on third down, they face
1:53:27
a third and ten for their own forty Ukah bringing
1:53:31
a blitz here they come. He throws it along again.
1:53:35
He's got a man out there. It's caught. That's Caleb
1:53:37
Douglass inside the thirty to the Utah twenty seven yard line.
1:53:41
Speaker 2: He beat Jackson Benny for a first down. Well, and
1:53:44
it's a great example of it. You got to throw
1:53:46
the ball in the right right location. He gives this
1:53:48
guy a chance, keeps it between him and the sideline.
1:53:51
I mean that's textbook there. But you know, Utah comes
1:53:54
after him, and he very comfortable. I mean two throws
1:53:56
in a row. I mean they just take shots down
1:53:58
the field. I mean that's that's how confidence and comfortable
1:54:01
they are of taking those shots.
1:54:05
Speaker 1: Hammond completes to the Utah twenty seven thirty three yards
1:54:10
first and ten kass sweep left side. Dickie. He's caught
1:54:14
and now he gets away. He's got the twenty and
1:54:17
knocked out a bounds of the eighteen yard line by
1:54:19
date Richie, not before he picks up almost nine yards. Yeah,
1:54:24
the simple toss sweep left well, and it's a it's
1:54:26
a quick toss and you just outleverage it.
1:54:29
Speaker 2: Trey Reynolds just almost makes a tackle there but misses
1:54:31
it until I wasn't quite ready for it.
1:54:35
Speaker 1: Hand off again to Dickie. He's got running them into
1:54:38
the secondary and down to the Utah twelve. It goes
1:54:40
Cameron Dickie, and I think this Utah defense is getting tired.
1:54:44
Well you can see that. I mean they're gas.
1:54:45
Speaker 2: I mean they've been on the field for a long
1:54:47
time and most of the game here. They did get
1:54:50
that break for the break in the hat and the quarter.
1:54:52
Speaker 1: But you know, so important to get off the field.
1:54:55
But when you get tired, man, it is hard to
1:54:57
get off the field. Will Hammond first in ten at
1:55:01
the Utah twelve. He keeps Dicky in the ball game,
1:55:04
stacks two receivers to the top of the formation, and
1:55:08
brings his tied end in motion, looks over the middle,
1:55:12
throws to the Outside's gonna man, there's it caught incomplete
1:55:15
out of bounds, an incomplete pass. Reggie Virgil caught it.
1:55:21
Smith Stoughton had the coverage, but he couldn't get that
1:55:23
foot down before he went out of bounds.
1:55:25
Speaker 2: And and Smith Man, he's like four yards in the
1:55:28
end Zome on that play. He shouldn't be that far back,
1:55:30
he said, I.
1:55:30
Speaker 1: Don't that's how long. I don't understand why you don't
1:55:32
press more in this in this area. You got short
1:55:34
in the field, don't you. Yeah, I mean you know
1:55:37
they can't go anywhere, So why back up to where
1:55:40
they can't go? Second down in ten Dicky, the back
1:55:43
of the ball game. I'll be surprised that they don't
1:55:44
run it here. They're gonna review this previous play of
1:55:48
an incomplete pass is Wow, the referee was standing right there. No,
1:56:02
I think it splits out of bounds. Yeah, that left
1:56:05
toes out of bounds. Like, why are they? I might
1:56:11
start agreeing with Sly.
1:56:13
Speaker 2: I mean, you know that I don't understand that. That's clear.
1:56:17
That's it's just easy. That's not even a hard play.
1:56:20
Why are we unless that unless they're trying to promote
1:56:23
their new toy of where they let the fans in
1:56:26
on what's going on.
1:56:28
Speaker 1: Unless they say his right toe got down before, it
1:56:31
looks like it.
1:56:32
Speaker 2: So there's that both his feet are in the air,
1:56:35
and it looks like which foot came down left or
1:56:40
right first.
1:56:41
Speaker 1: I think that's what they're looking for. Even the even
1:56:45
the right foot looks like it's off the line. I
1:56:50
can't tell that it's on the ground. Do you see?
1:56:52
That's what I don't know.
1:56:55
Speaker 2: I don't know if you could see it, boy, that's
1:56:58
splitting hairs right there. Maybe they just they want to
1:57:01
show off the new toy and say, hey, we we
1:57:04
the eye in the sky never lies. They're really looking
1:57:09
at it hard. You know, if it wasn't just if
1:57:11
it wasn't absolutely clear like it appears right here.
1:57:17
Speaker 1: But I don't know, it's got to be clear and over.
1:57:21
You've got to overturn the call. I mean, I can't
1:57:23
say that the right tiger isn't bounce. Somehow, it was close.
1:57:32
It was very close. Second down and ten Protexas ten
1:57:39
thirteen to eighteen to play in the game. They lead
1:57:41
ten to three. They're at the Utah twelve yard month.
1:57:46
As good as the Utah defense has been today, you
1:57:49
just I just don't know that you can afford to
1:57:50
give up a touchdown here. Oh no, there's just there's
1:57:53
no way. I don't know your offense could you know,
1:57:56
score more than three points at this point? Have it
1:57:59
in the brings acd in motion. He's gonna keep it
1:58:03
himself as Hammond, He's gonna be to the six yard
1:58:07
line and down. They'll mark you down at the seven
1:58:09
yard left. I'll tell you what that will Hammond's elucia
1:58:11
if he made a guy who listened to backfield. It
1:58:13
ended up picking up five yards to be third down
1:58:15
at five here, And that's that's tough in that situation
1:58:18
because it's just you don't you don't account for the quarterback.
1:58:21
So it's a challenging thing. What do you do here
1:58:23
for your Morgan Scalley Scott. I mean, I like the
1:58:26
tight pressure here and uh they're playing off up top. Wow,
1:58:31
way off third down and five for the Utah seven
1:58:38
having a pass looking to his left, firing toward the
1:58:40
end zone incomplete. He had a man wide open and
1:58:44
he missed. Terrence Carter incomplete. Eight Richie who was out there,
1:58:52
he kind of slipped or something.
1:58:54
Speaker 2: Well he got he got, he got picked off. I
1:58:56
mean that was a pick play. It should have been
1:58:58
called a past interference that the outside guy comes in
1:59:04
and just picks off the inside guy and the guy
1:59:06
goes up the sideline.
1:59:07
Speaker 1: Well Stone Harrington onto a timp the field goal. It's
1:59:10
a ship shot field goal. It's gonna be about a
1:59:15
twenty five yard field goal for Harrington. He had a
1:59:18
fifty eight er in the first half. Kick is up,
1:59:21
the kick is good, and now it's beginning to get
1:59:26
a little late on Utah. There's time to play, but
1:59:29
you can't have empty possessions. Now if you're the Ute,
1:59:31
you're down ten with twelve thirty three to play. Texas

nine yards four thirty off the game plock another field
1:59:59
goal by Texas Tech. They're up ten, thirteen to three.
2:00:02
It kind of feels like they're up two or three touchdowns,
2:00:05
but they're only up ten points.
2:00:07
Speaker 2: Well, it's a it's a large mountain to climb at
2:00:09
this point. Might be a time to go into your
2:00:12
hurry up offense just to trying to find some rhythm,
2:00:14
find something. Really about the only thing that's created a
2:00:18
score for Utah today when they were in a two.
2:00:20
Speaker 1: Minutes Harrington's kick is gonna go through the end zone
2:00:23
for a touchback and Utah will be in first aeutenants
2:00:25
their own twenty five yard line. He's got a lake. Hey, guys,
2:00:30
hits some boomers, you know, lump. It's somewhat at outitude.
2:00:34
There's three thousand for this lump. It's a three thousand
2:00:36
feet west Texas there. But man here at forty seven
2:00:40
hundred feet, it really travels for it helps you a bit,
2:00:45
that's for sure. Utah's first to tenants their own twenty five.
2:00:47
We'll see if they take Scott's advice and go up
2:00:49
tempo here way Shawn Parker in the ballgame, Wyshan's only
2:00:54
carried it three times. Devin Dan Pierre's gonna run with
2:00:59
it and now throw it on the field. It's caught.
2:01:00
That's downing Bentley into the open field.
2:01:02
Speaker 2: Forty five forty thirty five and down to the Texas
2:01:06
Tech thirty one yard line and rpo. Ben Roberts made
2:01:11
the tackle the biggest play to day for Utah forty
2:01:14
four yards see and you know, nice play there, but
2:01:17
again right over the middle of the field a little
2:01:20
bit by a design, big play.
2:01:22
Speaker 1: First down handoff, Parker threw a whole right side picks
2:01:26
up three down to the twenty eight yard line. Tackle
2:01:30
the play by A. J. Hols, the backup defensive tackle.
2:01:34
Utah's got a little something going now, under twelve minutes
2:01:38
to play. At the clock running, they cannot afford many,
2:01:40
if any, empty possessions the rest of the way.
2:01:42
Speaker 2: Now, there's got to be a massive sense of urgency.
2:01:44
Everyone here just got to pick it up just a
2:01:46
little bit.
2:01:47
Speaker 1: Parker in the backfield on second down in seven, dam
2:01:50
Pierre Claps takes it. Now he throws to the outside.
2:01:53
It's caught there. He's got his man, Ryan Davis, who
2:01:56
picks up six down to the twenty three yard line.
2:01:59
Gonna be third down in two coming up. Bryce Pollock
2:02:01
had a good open field tackle on Davis.
2:02:03
Speaker 2: That's nice play here because it's a it's a zone
2:02:06
blitz read for the run and they play action pass.
2:02:09
Speaker 1: Make a big play. Utah going with tempo. They give
2:02:11
it to way Sean Parker. He's very close to first down,
2:02:14
the yardis, they'll give it to it. He needed to.
2:02:16
He got two and a half and the first down
2:02:17
on the edge of the Canyon View Credit Union red zone.
2:02:20
Now for Utah, Utah not suven. They're gonna go with
2:02:23
tempo here again, calling that play at the line of
2:02:25
scrimmage does not allow Texas Tech to sub either. Parker
2:02:30
stays in. Is the tail back here as Damn Pierce
2:02:32
surveys the defense back pedals to pass, looking pumping, throwing,
2:02:36
looking toward the end zone. Has Simmons out there and
2:02:40
incomplete and actually Dallan Bentley, he was going forward the
2:02:43
quarter of the end zone that time. Incomplete to go
2:02:46
second down to ten. That's a tough pass. Well, it is,
2:02:49
and it isn't it. They're trying to kind of set
2:02:51
up a screen and go. You gotta stay in bounds
2:02:54
as a receiver, but you also got to keep the
2:02:56
ball in bounds as a quarterback. Damp Pierre moves under
2:02:59
center now on second down in ten, calling the play
2:03:01
and now backing up Lake block at seventeen four receivers
2:03:05
in the pattern way Shaun Parker, the tailback emotions out
2:03:10
devit looking firing over the middle. Is there a flag?
2:03:13
You bet?
2:03:13
Speaker 2: You me?
2:03:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, he tried to get that ball in with Nooski
2:03:18
covering Dallan Bentley. That's gonna be pass interference and a
2:03:21
first down for Utah. And what's been interesting is I'll
2:03:25
tell you here in a minute.
2:03:26
Speaker 4: Pass interference number five defense spotfile automatic first down.
2:03:31
Speaker 1: They'll mark it to the fourteen yard line. First and
2:03:33
ten for Utah and a fresh set of downs with
2:03:35
ten forty six to play inside the canyon, you've credit
2:03:39
Union red zone.
2:03:40
Speaker 2: So Texas Tech has now got out of that corners
2:03:42
coverage and they're kind of doing these run blitz is
2:03:45
and Utah is actually throwing the ball and having some
2:03:47
success from him.
2:03:48
Speaker 1: First and ten at the Texas Tech fourteen. Parker stays
2:03:52
at the ball game next to Dan Pierre Devit's gonna
2:03:54
throw over the middle. Caught that's Ryan Davis inside the five,
2:03:58
close to the four yard line. They'll marking down at
2:04:00
the five. A game of nine first down, they get
2:04:02
second down and one wis Nooski with a tackle. Ryan
2:04:05
Davis with his tenth catch today. They're gonna go quick
2:04:09
now for the five yard line, hand off Parker straight ahead.
2:04:14
It's a touchdown.
2:04:16
Speaker 2: Way shot Parker from five yards out, and we've got
2:04:21
a ball game with ten twenty two to play. Yeah,
2:04:27
it all starts with a big play, and of course
2:04:29
they attack the middle of the field, throw the ball
2:04:30
at the tight end and they get they get that
2:04:33
chunk play and the chunk plays turn into touchdowns and
2:04:35
it's a great example right there. But greats resolved there.
2:04:40
The one thing is they almost kind of scored a
2:04:41
little too fast and maybe you know, but still they
2:04:44
scored it and big getting a touchdown that's huge.
2:04:46
Speaker 1: Well, you're trailing. I don't think you can score too
2:04:49
fast when you're trailing. No point after good on the
2:04:52
PEPSI touchdown by way Shan Parker seven plays seventy five yards,
2:04:57
Devin damp Here three or four for fifty eight and
2:05:00
we've got a ball game here at Rice Ecles. It's
2:05:02
been a dandy today ten twenty two to play thirteen
2:05:06
ten Texas Tech on ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports Radio Network.
2:05:10
Speaker 5: This is where the Utes live on game day and
2:05:14
everyday KLL North Salt Lake k x R k HD
2:05:18

2:05:23
you by America First Credit Ute on ESPN seven hundred
2:05:26
and a huge sports network.
2:05:29
Speaker 1: Back at Rice Scles Stadium, Well we got a little life.
2:05:32
fIF these fifty one thousand, four hundred and forty four
2:05:34
now thirteen ten Utah with a nice scoring drive their
2:05:38
first touchdown of the day. And they're down thirteen ten
2:05:41
with ten twenty two to play. How about Ryan Davis
2:05:44
and Dallen Bentley. Last week, they combined for a bunch
2:05:47
of catches today fourteen for one hundred and thirty nine
2:05:51
yards between them Again today, I'd say that Devin Day
2:05:55
up here likes to find those two guys. Yeah, and
2:05:57
in that corner's coverage, you know, there's there's a little
2:06:01
sweet spot kind of where Ryan Davis found him down
2:06:03
by the goal line and you've got nine yards.
2:06:06
Speaker 2: No one was even around him there, and you know,
2:06:08
hopefully you can build on that, because's gonna get the
2:06:11
ball back again and take advantage of that hole in
2:06:13
the degency.
2:06:14
Speaker 1: Michah Hudson back deep to receive his kid from Dylan Curtis.
2:06:18
He'll kick into a little bit of a win right here,
2:06:20
but he's got plenty of leg I haven't seen a
2:06:22
kick return yet today for either side. Curtis approaches from
2:06:27
his own thirty five, puts his right foot into it,
2:06:30
and I don't think this one's gonna be returned either,
2:06:31
but maybe it will. No Hudson lets it hit in
2:06:34
the end zone. That'll be a touchback that's actually returnable.
2:06:37
If you wanted to, but it's hung in the air
2:06:39
enough that he didn't want to bring it out. So
2:06:41
now we'll see what the red shirt freshman for Texas
2:06:43
Tech hats. He's been good and relief so far. We'll
2:06:46
HAMMD eight of eleven for eighty one yards. Let's see
2:06:49
what kind of a look Morgan Scalley gives him on
2:06:51
this drive.
2:06:51
Speaker 2: Scott, Yeah, and they've they've been running the ball a
2:06:54
lot more, which has kind of helped him a little bit,
2:06:57
and haven't quite got.
2:06:58
Speaker 1: The pressure that they were getting on Barren Moore first
2:07:05
and ten. Jakobe Williams, the dangerous tailback, slippery and good
2:07:09
out of the backfield in the ballgame. Three receivers and
2:07:12
a tied end from their own twenty fives. It gets
2:07:16
loud here at Rice ecles poor man Rush. Hammond's gonna
2:07:21
keep it himself into the open field. He goes, Hammond
2:07:25
up the sideline, he goes inside, outside and down to
2:07:29
the Utah forty three. How does that happen? Scott?
2:07:34
Speaker 2: You don't account for the quarterback. I mean, you know
2:07:37
it's it's a designed run all the way. Defense A
2:07:39
little tired right now. Ninety two yards I'm getting off
2:07:42
the blocks.
2:07:43
Speaker 1: Thirty two yards on a simple quarterback keep, which I
2:07:46
don't think was a quarterback keep initially.
2:07:48
Speaker 2: Now it was a design quarterback draw. It was oh yeah, okay, yeah,
2:07:51
by design.
2:07:52
Speaker 1: Now Williams stays in into Utah territory after one play
2:07:56
nine five to play Tech with a three point leaving
2:07:59
the foot delayed handoff. Williams straight ahead, met by Nate
2:08:06
Richie right at the line of scrimmage, and he drops
2:08:09
Jakobe Williams right there. Kyle Whittingham said, last week, Nate
2:08:12
Richie got to get better on his tackling. He's been
2:08:14
good today. Now he's been great.
2:08:15
Speaker 2: He's really had his nose in there and made some
2:08:17
big plays and he has done a much better job
2:08:20
at tackling.
2:08:21
Speaker 1: He's one of those kids you know that you can
2:08:23
count on him.
2:08:24
Speaker 2: You know they know that they're gonna, hey, look, I'm
2:08:26
messing up. I'm gonna figure out a way to play better.
2:08:29
Speaker 1: Gonna be second down at ten Texas Tech now taking
2:08:32
their time. Let the little clock expire. Play clock at
2:08:36
ten is. Hammond backs up into the shotgun. Aiken comes
2:08:39
in motion across the formation. Hammond surveys the defense Utah
2:08:44
rushing four here they come up the middle, throwing over
2:08:48
the middle cots at the Utah thirty. That's aching and
2:08:51
down to the Utah twenty four yard line, and we've
2:08:54
got a Utah player down on the play. It looks
2:08:56
like Nate Ritchie at awkward and tackle that time by night.
2:09:01
He's spaced down at the twenty four yard line. It
2:09:04
looked for a minute like they might get Will Hammond,
2:09:06
but he's very elusive and was able to elude it
2:09:10
and make that completion down the field for nineteen yards
2:09:14
and I think we're gonna have an injury time out
2:09:16
while they attend to the Richie and we'll take it
2:09:18
with him with eight forty five to play. If you're Utah,
2:09:21
you can't give up a touchdown here. It's first in
2:09:24
ten Texas Tech. Would we get back to the Big
2:09:26
o'tires broadcast booth from rice ecl Stadium. It's Utah football
2:09:30
from ESPN seven hundred to eight Sports Radio Network eight
2:09:33
forty five to play three point game here at Ricecel Stadiums,
2:09:38
Texas Tech thirteen, Utah ten Second half today being brought
2:09:41
to you by America First Credit Union, brought to be
2:09:44
the Official Credit Union of the University of Utah Football
2:09:47
and Athletics joined the home team today at your Neighborhood.
2:09:49
Grants are online at America First dot com. It's first
2:09:53
in ten per Tech in the Utah twenty four. Nate
2:09:55
Ritchie was helped to the sideline. We'll hopefully see Nate
2:09:57
back in the ball game.
2:09:58
Speaker 2: Here.
2:09:58
Speaker 1: They're already shortage. Say we'll grab it. Evans out for
2:10:03
the year. You have to believe that Texas Tech.
2:10:06
Speaker 2: They get that opportunity to sit there in the half
2:10:11
or with the time out and draw something up to
2:10:13
look for him to take a shot here at.
2:10:14
Speaker 1: The end zone. They've got a tight end who's got
2:10:17
all kinds of room down here on the left slot
2:10:19
by himself. Two backs to the backfield right now with
2:10:24
the quarterback Will Hammond. That's Jacoby Williams, and I believe
2:10:29
he's Cameron Dickey. They move camera or Jacoby Williams out
2:10:36
of the backfield pump once they're gonna take a shot
2:10:39
down the field. He's got a man wide open taught
2:10:41
end zone touchdown. Terrence Carter all by himself up the
2:10:46
scene and into the end zone for a touchdown. And
2:10:49
now it's trouble time for Utah with a twenty nine
2:10:52
to play, well designed played, it's kind of a fake,
2:10:55
fake screen and then they just build levels.
2:10:58
Speaker 2: The tight end that was supposed to block actually slips
2:11:01
up the sideline there. He's the guy you're throwing it too.
2:11:03
But they kind of clear it out and a lot
2:11:05
of teams run it bout. It's very effective.
2:11:09
Speaker 1: Will Hammond throws his first touchdown pass of the year,
2:11:14
four plays, seventy five yards. It all began by letting
2:11:17
him scramble thirty two point after touchdown, up and good,
2:11:23
and with eight twenty nine to play, Utah finds itself
2:11:25
down tent twenty to ten and they're in the same
2:11:30
position they were on the last drive now with four
2:11:32
or fewer minutes remaining on the clock, and you wonder.
2:11:35
I just wonder, with Nate Ritchie out and that tight end,
2:11:38
if maybe Tilman, who came into the ballgame wasn't aware.
2:11:41
I watched the replay here they're looking at the screen
2:11:45
yet too. Johnson jumped the screen and let Carter run
2:11:49
right past him. Well, it was one of those damned
2:11:53
if you do, damned if you don't. Because if he
2:11:55
throws the screen and you run with the tight end.
2:11:57
The guy probably has a touchdown too.
2:11:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just gotta get a feel for that because
2:12:00
you've got to be aggressive to get the screens, but
2:12:02
she can't be over aggressive and get beat on the
2:12:04
on the fake screen.
2:12:06
Speaker 1: Utah's got to go. They gotta. I just believe they
2:12:08
got to go in there. Two minute right now, Glover
2:12:11
or back Stone Harrington to kick. He's been perfect on
2:12:15
his touchbacks today, kicking south to the north with a
2:12:19
big breeze at his back. Now it's a little bit
2:12:21
of a knuckler, but that's gonna go through the end
2:12:23
zone too. And cursed at ten's for debit, Dan Peer,
2:12:27
whatever he did on the last drive, whatever groove he
2:12:29
was in, they need to find that groove again. Yeah,
2:12:32
it'd be.
2:12:33
Speaker 2: Interesting to see how how you Todd plans this. But
2:12:35
you're you're just running out of time here, and you've
2:12:37
you've been chasing, chasing the chains all day. You've just
2:12:41
been behind, behind everything, behind on the score, behind everywhere.
2:12:45
Speaker 1: Which you got it. You gotta go off Temple here.
2:12:47
I believe Nacari Rodgers the tail back. Three receivers at
2:12:52
a tight end on person and ten from the twenty five.
2:12:56
They rolled it the right with Devon dan Peer throw
2:12:58
out to the right, pop by Ryan Davis, cuts back,
2:13:00
putting inside, picks up about four yards through your twenty
2:13:03
nine yard line. That's ten catches now for seventy yards
2:13:06
for Ryan Davis. Yeah, good, good start to the drive.
2:13:09
Speaker 2: You know a little but you know, I think Texas
2:13:10
Tech now inspects you to throw, but still accurate throwing.
2:13:15
Speaker 1: Set it down at six to twenty nine. Damn Pier
2:13:18
operating out of the shotgun. He'll hand it off this
2:13:21
time and the tailback Rogers is wrapped up and taken
2:13:24
down right at the line of scrivage. John Curry did
2:13:28
not mess around with that tackle. It's now third down
2:13:32
and Texas Tech has shown more of this.
2:13:34
Speaker 2: They just brought a run blitz there from one of
2:13:36
their linebackers out of you know, from a second level there.
2:13:41
Speaker 1: You call one for four of this half on third
2:13:43
down four to twelve of the ball game. Damn Pierre
2:13:45
looking right throwing ball deflected at the line of scrimmage.
2:13:48
Was the big man Romelo heights off the end that
2:13:51
knocked it down. That's gonna bring up fourth down. Are
2:13:53
they gonna bring out the punt team. Well, I don't
2:13:56
know if you can here, Scott. They are though, Yeah,
2:14:00
DEVI only got seven thirty sixth left of the game
2:14:03
and you're down by two possessions, you down two scores.
2:14:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's you know, it's a tall order here.
2:14:08
I mean, you still have timeouts, you still have a
2:14:10
lot of the game left, but you got to stop them.
2:14:12
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's tough to ask this defense
2:14:15
to do this, but probably the more conservative say play
2:14:18
at this point. Ryan Phillips debutted for Utah. Hi, hang
2:14:23
a kick, Gentry Camps under it his own thirty one
2:14:27
and fair catches right there. The Utah defense, which has
2:14:33
been on the field this afternoon for twenty eight minutes,
2:14:38
is going to be asked to come up with a
2:14:39
stop here, and you've got to get a stop quickly.
2:14:41
You can't let him get a couple of first downs
2:14:43
at eight clock here. Yeah.
2:14:45
Speaker 2: A lot of the inside runs have worked, a lot
2:14:47
of the counterplays, counter quarterback draw has worked. Well.
2:14:52
Speaker 1: Sure you'll see more of that here on this drive.
2:14:55
We've seen a lot of balls knocked out of the
2:14:57
line of scrimmage today. You wonder if Devin at five
2:14:59
to eleven, not being able to get that ball up
2:15:02
and over the defense. Cameron Dickie, the tail back on
2:15:05
first and ten for Texas Tech Utah with five of
2:15:08
the line of scrimmage. Here Hammond in the shotgun hands
2:15:14
the ball off to Dickie and he's got running really
2:15:16
out across the thirty five to the thirty nine yard line.
2:15:19
That's a gain of eight yards on first down. They
2:15:21
get seven yards on first down. John Henry Daily with
2:15:24
a tackle. That's too much on first down. Well, and
2:15:26
it's that comeback lane that you know that they're they're
2:15:30
cutting back to. That's where the quarterback run was, where
2:15:32
that came back.
2:15:33
Speaker 2: It's that backside of you know, the place in the
2:15:36
front side, and they come back to the weak side
2:15:38
and big gashes are happening.
2:15:40
Speaker 1: Second down to three. They're gonna take their time and
2:15:43
let this play clock tick down as we go under
2:15:45
seven minutes to play the ball game. Teck with a
2:15:48
ten point d Hammond's gonna keep it himself and run
2:15:52
with it. And he's got running room and first down
2:15:54
yardage out to the forty seven yard line, just picked
2:16:00
up eight yards.
2:16:01
Speaker 2: Well, they've found this soft spot in this Utah defense,
2:16:04
and it's on this on the defense's right side, and
2:16:07
they're just they're picking at it. Yeah, just picking at it.
2:16:10
Guys aren't getting off of blocks. I mean, these guys
2:16:13
are just you gotta get off the blocks, gotta fill
2:16:15
your gap.
2:16:16
Speaker 1: They're gonta let this play clock tick down inside of
2:16:19
ten seconds every time. Eight clock at six twenty and
2:16:22
running first of ten at the Texas Teck forty seven
2:16:25
yard line for the Red Raiders will have it. Who's
2:16:29
got a great job in relief here of Baron Morton
2:16:35
play action pass rolling inside, caught into Yukaw territory and
2:16:39
down to the Utah thirty nine yard line. Yes, that
2:16:46
is a fourteen yard game, and you cost hired. You
2:16:50
can see it, Scott. They are tired show that.
2:16:52
Speaker 2: Same formation and then they just play action to throw
2:16:55
the slant right here. Guys are right there, but they
2:16:57
just can't make the play.
2:17:00
Speaker 1: Five forty to go. With the clock running, things not
2:17:06
looking good for Utah. Now you almost have to ask
2:17:09
this defense to force a turnover for the Utah thirty
2:17:15
nine first down in ten dick you the tailback play action.
2:17:19
Hammond's gonna keep this with himself. He picks up yardage.
2:17:23
He picks up six yards down to the thirty four
2:17:26
yard line, make it five yards to the thirty four
2:17:28
yard line. Over They're just gonna keep it in his
2:17:31
hands right now. They trust their quarterback.
2:17:33
Speaker 2: Well, what's happening is they're just coming off the ball
2:17:36
and they're just engaging with these defensive linemens, line linebackers,
2:17:40
and no one's getting off of blocks.
2:17:42
Speaker 1: There's no surge.
2:17:43
Speaker 2: And you know, you can hardly blame the defense. I mean,
2:17:46
it's just been on a field long time today, game.
2:17:50
Speaker 1: Clock under five minutes to play. Now, it's still running.
2:17:52
Second down in five of the Utah thirty four yard line.
2:18:00
Two tights and two wides. Camperon Dickie the tailback. You'll
2:18:03
take the hand off Dicky swarm Dugger at the line
2:18:06
of scrimmage, joetala A and Levanni de Booty there for
2:18:10
the tackle. He'll bring up third down and five. So
2:18:13
I think you need to call time. Let's call their
2:18:15
first time of the second half. That's good, that's a
2:18:21
good time out. This is you're in a tough spot
2:18:23
here because the kicker kicks the ball here and now
2:18:26
you're down three scores. Or let's see eighteen and eighteen.
2:18:31
Now you're eight eight. It's it's a tough go. That's
2:18:38
I wonder how much thought Kyle gave to going for
2:18:43
it on fourth down that last time.
2:18:48
Speaker 2: Well, if you go for it and you don't get it,
2:18:51
they're in field goal range already, okay, But but that
2:18:54
makes it.
2:18:54
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean field goal fields goal range now too.
2:18:58
And they've taken a three and a half minutes off
2:19:03
the clock, big third down, probably the biggest of the
2:19:07
ball game right here. Red Raiders seven or fifteen off
2:19:10
third down three of seven here in the second half,
2:19:13
Utah must get a stop four receiver set Dicky, the
2:19:19
tailback Hammond and the gun Utah rushing four. Now they
2:19:27
bring an extra off the edge. It's taught. I got
2:19:31
the Utah twenty five. That's the tight end Terrence Tarter
2:19:35
who has feasted on Utah today. And that's a first down,
2:19:39
and that might be the dagger shot today for Texas Tech.
2:19:42
That's as tough.
2:19:43
Speaker 2: I mean, it's behind him, it's right there, tails right
2:19:46
in position to make the play and just can do brow.
2:19:50
Speaker 1: It's a great drop. Hammond put it right on him.
2:19:56
Clock at four minutes to play Utah with just two
2:20:00
timeouts remaining, you have to paw at the ball. You
2:20:05
have to knock the ball out here if you're the
2:20:07
utes hand off Dickey stacked up after a short game.
2:20:12
Now he breaks through fifteen to the outside tag five
2:20:16
touchdown and that'll be the ball game. Wow, they had
2:20:20
him stacked at the line and he wouldn't stop running.
2:20:23
That was a scataboo like run right there. And Cameron
2:20:27
Dickey just called ballgame here for Texas Tech.
2:20:31
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Logan Fanos got him, then he doesn't
2:20:34
have him.
2:20:34
Speaker 1: Three or four guys have him, and then they don't
2:20:36
have him. And in the end zone, Will Hammond in
2:20:45
relief and the physicality upfront by Texas Tech and the
2:20:50
Red Raiders are gonna win this game today. Three forty
2:20:54
one to play, telling have to touchdown up and good.
2:20:57
Seven plays sixty eight yards and the fans begin to
2:21:00
head to the exits. Here at Bicycle Stadium, it's Texas
2:21:03
Tech twenty seven and Utah ten. Boy, it's just you know,
2:21:08
it's a tough game. It's been a weird game.
2:21:10
Speaker 2: Nothing's happened offensively, really expecting more from this offense. You
2:21:14
know you're gonna kind of have to do some soul
2:21:16
searching here with this team, because I think they really
2:21:18
felt like they were on track and Texas Tech came
2:21:22
in here and everyone talks about how great their offense
2:21:25
was and how prolific they certainly made some tough scores
2:21:29
year in the second half, and that their defense is
2:21:31
just just stifled Utah's offense all.
2:21:34
Speaker 1: Day, second half to day.
2:21:37
Speaker 2: Brompsey by Pepsi and Spiss save on Pepsi products all
2:21:41
year long.
2:21:41
Speaker 1: At your local neighborhood Smiths boy Will Hammond twelve to fifteen,
2:21:47
one hundred and forty eight yards and a touchdown hamp.
2:21:50
It's also run six times for fifty four yards. If
2:21:54
this guy, if Barrett Orton wasn't a fifty year senior,
2:21:57
I'd say you might have a quarterback competition, boy, and
2:22:00
love it right now. But they certainly have a good
2:22:03
one in their backup and they're gonna they're gonna win
2:22:05
this game today.
2:22:06
Speaker 2: They're up seventeen with three forty one to play. Yeah,
2:22:08
it's it's almost a difficult road to go here for Utah.
2:22:14
You know, there's a lot of decisions you may be question,
2:22:16
but there's also just just very slock to play and
2:22:22
it's always one at the line of scrimmage, and Texas
2:22:25
Tech want at the line of scrimmage today.
2:22:28
Speaker 1: First and tent for damp Pier in Utah the twenty
2:22:31
five yard line. Devin backpedals to throw, lots of time,
2:22:33
takes a shot down the field and it wasn't even
2:22:36
close to Tobias Berryweather there. Second down to ten, coming
2:22:40
up the last three possessions for Texas Den with Will
2:22:43
Hammon the quarterback. Twelve play seventy five yards field goal,
2:22:47
four play seventy five yards touchdown. Seven play sixty eight
2:22:50
yards touchdown and that's why they're up seventeen here. Second
2:22:55
down to ten for damp Pierre. Devin surveys looking firing
2:22:58
to the outside pot and out of bounces Gallen Bentley.
2:23:05
He six catch today for seventy five yards for Gallon Bentley.
2:23:09
But hasn't been enough of that today for Utah well,
2:23:11
and all the throats.
2:23:13
Speaker 2: Have been that everything's short, everything's just to the outside
2:23:16
and short. I mean, there's never tried to tack the
2:23:18
ball down the middle of the field.
2:23:20
Speaker 1: Third down at eight, two down territory here for Utah.
2:23:23
Damp here to pass rolling out through his right, avoiding
2:23:26
the sack, and now he sacked for the first time today.
2:23:29
Devin damp here take it down. Yeah, and Devin's had
2:23:35
a tough day today and just never really got in
2:23:37
a a Bailey guy from home and just hasn't ever
2:23:42
at any point look to run. I don't. I didn't
2:23:45
see him try to run really other than design runs
2:23:48
all day. Fourth down in eighteen, Utah is gonna go
2:23:52
for it here with two forty three to play, straight
2:23:56
back for damp Pier on a four van rush looking
2:23:59
down the field, floating down the field, intercepted and a
2:24:03
flag flies here on the near sideline. I think this
2:24:05
is going to be a hold on Utah. Damn Pierre's
2:24:08
second interception today at the Utah twenty eight.
2:24:11
Speaker 4: Number fifty five offense Pinderson Line's all playing interception first
2:24:16
down in Texas tent.
2:24:18
Speaker 1: Now the Red Raiders will take over first to ten
2:24:20
at the Utah twenty eight. The only thing that remains
2:24:23
to be seen now is will they stick another within
2:24:26
or try to or will they just take a d
2:24:27
and run this one out.
2:24:29
Speaker 2: Well, when you have a national stage, you want style
2:24:32
point you just do you want you want a perception
2:24:34
here and unfortunate because this Utah defense plays so tough
2:24:37
all game long, and you know, Devin on that throw there,
2:24:41
you just you can't you can't be flipping with it
2:24:43
and you can't just throw those.
2:24:44
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a bad day. Don't make it
2:24:46
worse than it already is. To Kobe Williams, the tailback
2:24:50
two thirty three to play first in ten tech at
2:24:53
the Utah twenty eight. Yeah, they're going to run the
2:24:58
quarterback here. Hammond been down to about the twenty five.
2:25:03
I'm actually surprised they're running the quarterback considering he's the
2:25:06
backup quarterback. The moment the starter's been knocked out of
2:25:08
the game, will football coaches haven't been down visa.
2:25:12
Speaker 4: And it's twenty seven seconds and the second half from
2:25:15
Utah has called for a second charge.
2:25:17
Speaker 2: Time out, winningham takes the time out to twenty seven
2:25:21
to play. It's a thirty second time out second half
2:25:26
being brought to you.
2:25:27
Speaker 1: By University of Utah Health, trusted healthcare provider for the
2:25:30
Utes family, and yours bottom on lighting you youhealth dot
2:25:34
org slash us.
2:25:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, this has certainly been a surprise performance today in
2:25:41
a game. And you know, I don't even know if
2:25:45
ugly is the best description. It's just, man, it's just
2:25:50
a punch in the gut. I mean, I don't think
2:25:51
anyone expected this to be like this, and through most
2:25:54
of the game it looked like it was going to
2:25:55
be tight.
2:25:56
Speaker 1: But there was nothing Utah did offensively that ever gave
2:25:59
it a chance to get on track.
2:26:00
Speaker 2: They had had a big holding play on a touchdown,
2:26:04
Devin missed a wide open receiver and just just ugly, ugly, ugly.
2:26:11
Speaker 1: Second down in seven here for Tech. In the Utah
2:26:13
twenty five, Hammond's gonna keep it himself again to the outside.
2:26:17
There was a holding penalty dot called. We've seen about
2:26:20
three of those today. Utah defensive ends have been held
2:26:22
all day long. Yeah, they helping right there. He gets
2:26:25
down to the twenty one at steps out of bounds.
2:26:27
Pluck will continue to love here and take it down
2:26:30
to the too many timeout.
2:26:34
Speaker 2: Interesting that Kyle doesn't take the time out here since
2:26:36
he took one a minute ago.
2:26:38
Speaker 1: Third down in three. I don't think they'll snap it.
2:26:44
They won't takes us to the two minute timeout. Two
2:26:48
minutes to play here at Rice second to seven, Texas
2:26:52
Tech twenty seven in Utah ten Red Raiders. We're gonna
2:26:55
stake their claim as the top team of the Big
2:26:57
twelve after today, and Utah Will and Scott said, your
2:27:00
little soul search in trying to figure out the offense.
2:27:02
We'll be back with the final two minutes next that
2:27:04
you caught football for ESPN seven hundred and the Ute
2:27:07
Sports Radio Define two minutes to play Here at ricecl Stadium,
2:27:11
the Texas Tech Red Raiders lead Utah twenty seven to ten.
2:27:15
Try to get a first down and kill this block.
2:27:17
We heard the mics on the field at the time
2:27:19
out of Texas Tech not looking to score here.
2:27:21
Speaker 2: They just want to get the first down and get
2:27:23
out of here. We'll see if they can do it. Man,
2:27:26
it's been a tough day, tough to watch. It's just
2:27:28
it's just been a i don't know, weird game. Just penalties.
2:27:32
There was no flow to any of this game, I
2:27:34
think for either one of these teams, and then it
2:27:37
just kind of got away from things here late for Utah.
2:27:44
Speaker 1: He's going to pass here on third down, he's throwing
2:27:46
toward the end zone. It's up, it's caught. Oh that's
2:27:49
a touchdown. Okay, never mind, Well so much for the
2:27:53
conversation on the sideline. They threw the quarter rap for
2:27:56
the end zone and they just stuck it in Utah's
2:27:59
eye here with a minute fifty three to play. That's
2:28:02
Red g Virgil with his fourth touchdown of the year. Yeah,
2:28:07
that's a tough that's a tough one right now.
2:28:09
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how I feel about that one, but hey,
2:28:11
you've said it before, style points, and now you're National TV,
2:28:15
you get style points. Utah stuck that late touchdown in
2:28:17
last week against Wyoming too, and people look at this
2:28:20
score and they're gonna go, okay, Oh, they handled them
2:28:23
quite well.
2:28:24
Speaker 1: The three point game going at the beginning of the
2:28:26
fourth quarter, Utah never scored again in Texas Tech scored
2:28:30
twenty one here in the fourth. Actually, Texas Tech scored
2:28:35
twenty four here at the fourth.
2:28:36
Speaker 2: Well, it was almost one of those situations where all right,
2:28:40
they got their backup in, you know, and it's almost
2:28:43
like you put your you took your foot off the
2:28:45
gas in that situation. And because I think everyone felt comfortable,
2:28:48
you know, it's like, oh, we got this, we got
2:28:50
this game, we got we gotta handled here defensively and
2:28:53
of course offensively, they score the touchdown and you think,
2:28:58
all right, momentum is just shit totally to.
2:29:00
Speaker 1: Use the side of the ball. But they couldn't get anything.
2:29:04
Speaker 2: Going after they scored a touchdown, and then I just
2:29:07
really think this defense was on the field too much
2:29:10
and just out of gas.
2:29:13
Speaker 1: Thirty four to ten. It was thirteen ten early in
2:29:21
the fourth quarter, and since then it's twenty four unanswered
2:29:25
for TCU touch back. Utah will get it at the
2:29:32
twenty five yard line. I would guess it's Burke Fickling
2:29:36
time here for the years. Look and it's unanswered because
2:29:40
you know, Utah just didn't do their part offensive those
2:29:44
unanswered corns. They are just one hundred percent on on
2:29:49
the offense. They had all the momentum on their side
2:29:53
after they scored that touchdown. Did they get thirteen ten?
2:29:56
This place was alive in Rocking and then they're in
2:29:59
a ability to get Texas Tech off the field, and
2:30:03
then their inability to capitalize with the offense. Bird pickland,
2:30:10
first down, hand off, straight ahead, five yard game to
2:30:14
the thirty yard line. That a forty five to play.
2:30:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is the second units in now
2:30:20
for Texas Tech. And you can see because it's the
2:30:23
search is just different.
2:30:24
Speaker 1: They weren't. They weren't getting any surge on that offensive line.
2:30:27
Speaker 7: Uh.
2:30:28
Speaker 1: With that that first unit from Texas Tech. Ones are
2:30:30
all in except the quarterback for Utah's offense. That's Bird
2:30:33
Pickland out there. There's Rogers on the five yard game.
2:30:39
Pickland's going to keep it out on the right hand side.
2:30:41
Bird's got it to the thirty five and thirty six
2:30:44
goes Bird Pickland for a gain of six yards and
2:30:48
a first down. Rotherd eighty four total yards for Texas Tech.
2:30:54
This is garbage time two hundred and forty six yards
2:30:56
for Utah. Garbage time for Utah, but but it is
2:30:59
thevaluable time for Bird.
2:31:01
Speaker 2: Fifteen hand off Rogers right side, forty puts your shoulder down, gets.
2:31:08
Speaker 1: To the forty four yard line. Probably one more play
2:31:16
here for Utah's o'clock kicks down to fifty seconds. Take
2:31:24
a look backs up into the shotgun. Here is the
2:31:26
stadium is fairly empty. Hand off Rogers right side, the
2:31:33
carry to the forty six and what do we have.
2:31:39
I'm gonna move the chance. I'm gonna call that a
2:31:40
first down thirty five seconds to play. They'll stop it
2:31:43
momentarily you call run one one hand off again Rogers
2:31:55
right up the middle of the Tech territory down to
2:31:57
the Texas Tech forty seven to be the final play
2:32:00
the ballgame.
2:32:02
Speaker 2: You know we talked about is buying your team paying off,
2:32:07
and you know, really paid off for this defensive line
2:32:09
from Texas Tech.
2:32:11
Speaker 1: They got some good players in there. Yeah, they all
2:32:14
the players up there.
2:32:15
Speaker 2: So Yukos still has some solid players too, but they're
2:32:20
gonna have to do a little regrouping.
2:32:22
Speaker 1: Is Kyle Whittingham and.
2:32:23
Speaker 2: Joey McGuire come together at midfield Texas Tech?
2:32:27
Speaker 1: We said he was a statement game today for one
2:32:29
of these teams. Red Raiders sent in the statement today.
2:32:32
They win at thirty four to ten.
