0:34
Speaker 4: You know.
0:35
Speaker 3: Coach Winningham, you heard him talk about being ranked.
0:37
Speaker 5: Really high in the College Football Playoff ranking, and so
0:40
that's a great thing for Utah, but it's about winning.
0:43
This is going to be a great matchup tonight. You've
0:45
got the best pass defense in the conference against the
0:47
best pass offense in the conference, and so exciting both
0:51
these teams coming off of bye. There's a lot of
0:54
energy here to not lo out of excitement. This should
0:56
be a great game.
0:56
Speaker 2: Sawyer Robertson, the guy that leaves that best pass offense,
1:00
guy downstairs that ran a pretty good defense for Utah.
1:03
Speaker 1: He's a Stevenson Sylvester.
1:04
Speaker 2: Back in the day, he was a captain and a
1:06
leader of this Utah defense.
1:08
Speaker 1: So I what's the.
1:09
Speaker 2: Vibe on that sideline around the football team right now?
1:11
Speaker 6: And it all started in the locker room. Walking through
1:13
the locker room. There's a lot of focus, but a
1:15
real confident air that in that locker room, which is
1:19
a great thing. They were lose, they were happy, they're excited,
1:22

1:24
Speaker 7: Absolutely loved it. The message from Kyle.

1:42
Speaker 4: Student section, this is where the utes live on game
1:46
day and every day you're tuned to ka L North
1:50
Salt Lake ESPN seven hundred and ninety two to one, alf.
1:54
Speaker 2: M offense coming out Baylor and are all white tonight
1:57
so white out here at Waco tonight to sell out crowd,
2:01
but a good crowd on hand. Baylor in their all
2:03

2:07

2:09
Speaker 1: Tonight, Man oh Man, Armando, b.

Speaker 5: Got to get your money's worth for sure, And you
2:18
know this is They're just a great energy and electricity
2:21
here tonight. This is should be a really really exciting game.
2:24
You see some of the earlier games today, you know,
2:26
you got to take care of your business.
2:27
Speaker 3: And Baylor's kind of had an average year.
2:30
Speaker 5: They've had some tough losses, but they're gonna bring it
2:33
today and Utah has to have that same energy from
2:36
the very start all the way through the game. I
2:38
love coach winning Ham and his sixty minutes of Utah football.
2:41
Speaker 2: Cole Wilson back deep to receive this kick. Us a
2:44
good kick returner averaging about twenty two yards of return
2:46
whin he gets him this year, BILLI Curtis hasn't set
2:49
up at his own thirty five, and he'll kick it
2:51
from south to north here at McLean Stadium. Great to
2:55
be with you on a Saturday nights. Curtis puts his
2:57
right foot into it, hangs it high, and it will
3:00
be returned from about the four yard line. That's Cole
3:03
Wilson bouncing to the inside the outside. It dropped right
3:06
into the twenty yard line right everybody Utah special teams
3:09
to drop him right there, and it looked like it
3:11
was Trey Reynolds backup linebacker that made the stop on
3:15
special teams and so an eighty yard field coming here
3:18
for Sawyer.
3:18
Speaker 1: Robertson Scott, who's really good.
3:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's really good. You know, he's more of a
3:21
pocket passer.
3:22
Speaker 5: But again, this spread offense, you've seen a lot of it,
3:25
handled it well for the most part. But Sawyer is
3:28
probably as good as there is in the conference at
3:30
throwing the ball, and he's got a lot of weapons
3:32
to throw to and not afraid to throw to him.
3:34
Speaker 2: Rice and Washington your tailback Michael Trigg, a very good
3:37
tight end lined up at the right slot. Three receivers
3:40
on first and ten from the Baylor twenty yard line.
3:42
Trig goes in motion right now and it'll be a
3:45
play action now a delayed hand off to Washington. He's
3:47
out the gate into the secondary, beyond the thirty five
3:50
and out to the thirty seven for a seventeen yard game.
3:54
Tao Johnson made the tackle. But a good start for Baylor.
3:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, they just emptied the backfield and kind of spread
3:59
it out.
4:00
Speaker 3: Nice little counter there for a big run.
4:02
Speaker 2: Washington stays in the ball game. They're gonna give it
4:04
to him again. He's gonna try and pick his way forward.
4:06
Stays on his feet again, and this time he picks
4:09
up to the forty four yard line, seven more yards.
4:11
They had him in the backfield and couldn't bring him down.
4:13
Logan Fino finally made the tackle.
4:15
Speaker 5: It's one of those things where you Tah kind of
4:17
has had a little challenge with the run.
4:19
Speaker 3: Early in games.
4:19
Speaker 2: Here we go pass play on the second on this
4:22
play and they're gonna drop the receiver behind the line
4:24
of scrimmage. An excellent read by Blake Cotton. They got
4:27
it out to Cole Wilson. That's gonna be a three
4:28
maybe four yard loss back to the forty one yard line,
4:31
and that's gonna bring up third down and we'll call
4:33
it six.
4:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, Blake's played so great this season.
4:36
Speaker 5: In just great reaction there, you know, he almost intercepted
4:38
the pass and he made the guy get down on
4:41
the ground in the open field.
4:42
Speaker 2: Third down and six for Baylor, opening drive just underway
4:44
from their own forty one yard line. Sawyer Robertson checks
4:47
with the sideline, gets the signal, drops the pass pressure
4:50
coming looking down the field.
4:51
Speaker 1: Throwing down the field, has a man.
4:52
Speaker 2: W OPENO and he missed his man, Michael Trigg, the
4:55
tight end who was wide open at the thirty yard
4:58
line that might have been sick. Instead it's incomplete and
5:01
brings up fourth down. Sometimes when the guy is wide open,
5:04
it's the hardest one to hit. You panic, you try
5:07
to get the ball to him too quickly. Look like
5:09
Sawyer kind of threw it right right on the money.
5:11
Sometimes tight ends they don't.
5:13
Speaker 3: Have second gear, you know, and you gotta put it
5:16
right on a tight end. A receiver you can lead
5:18
tight end. You gotta drill it on it.
5:20
Speaker 2: Palmer Williams, one of the best punters in the conference,
5:22
into the country into punt here on fourth down and six.
5:24
Speaker 1: Mon a car volume the retann.
5:26
Speaker 2: Of return to punt seventy five yards against Cincinnati for
5:29
a touchdown in the last game, stands at his own
5:31
fourteen yard line. Good snap, little pressure, kick is away.
5:35
It's a high hanging boot car volume is gonna fair
5:38
catch it, backpedal and taken at about the nine yard line.
5:41
That was an excellent punt by Palmer Williams. And Utah
5:44
will begin with a ninety one yard field, fifty yard
5:47
punt in no return. And now we see Devin damp
5:50
here at the Utah offense come out for the first time.
5:52
This offensive series fraught to you by bud Light. Easy
5:55
to drink, it, easy to enjoy. It's been two weeks.
5:58
Speaker 1: We should see in almost one hundred percent Devin Dan Peerscott.
6:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this will be fun to see how these
6:03
two teams handle each other, because I'm sure Baylor's going
6:05
to try to sell out to stop the run from Utah.
6:08
Speaker 3: Here. What is Utah? What are the wrinkles that they
6:10
put in this offense in the bye week?
6:13
Speaker 2: Two backs in the backfield, that's Nacari Rodgers and Daniel
6:16
Bray grew up about an hour and a half north
6:18
of here in the ford Worth area. From the Utah
6:20
nine yard line. Bray comes in motion. They handed the
6:23
Daniel Bray on the outside. Bouncing to the outside. He's
6:25
got the edge ten and out of bounds at about
6:28
the thirteen yard line for a gain of four. That
6:30
was the speed that got him that edge at a
6:32
four yard gain.
6:32
Speaker 1: On first down.
6:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was just all Daniel Bray. I mean,
6:35
he just outran the defense.
6:37
Speaker 5: They had to leverage on him, but he just ran
6:39
right by and said, you guys aren't going to stop me?
6:41
Speaker 3: Did they?
6:42
Speaker 2: Second down? In six Utahs, they spread the field with
6:44
four wide receivers. Rogers motions out of the backfield. Dan
6:49
Pierre looking to throw pumps once plenty of time, scrambling
6:52
out to his right hand side, throwing down the field,
6:54
had caught at the twenty five yard line.
6:57
Speaker 1: Dalla Bentley comes up with a grab.
6:59
Speaker 2: Excellent throw, a twelve yard gain in a Utah first
7:02
down by Dalla Bentley.
7:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, if Devin gets his ball up, but Bentley's gonna
7:06
run for a while. There was no one around him
7:08
for ten yards. That's part of what's great about running
7:11
the ball. And you don't get much of a pass rush.
7:13
Speaker 1: Three receivers in the pattern.
7:14
Speaker 2: This time, Rogers stays in a tailback Baylor crowding the
7:17
line of scrimmage. They handed the damn peer, he keeps
7:19
it himself and he goes straight ahead out to the
7:22
thirty yard line for a gain of five. Keaton Thomas,
7:24
the Mack linebacker, made the tagle for Baylor. Good pull
7:27
that time, because if he handed to the tailback, that
7:29
was a loss.
7:30
Speaker 3: Yeah. Great play by Devin.
7:31
Speaker 5: You know, he's so comfortable with that zone read, and
7:34
of course he makes the right read, but this offensive
7:37
line early you can just see a great surge from him,
7:39
which has really.
7:40
Speaker 2: Helped Rogers stays in a tailback. Second down in five,
7:44
Bray comes in motion. Damn Pier's gonna throw, eludes the rush,
7:47
scrambles to his right down the field. He goes incomplete,
7:50
tried to get that to Rogers up that far sideline.
7:53
He was covered pretty well by the linebacker around of
7:55
bounds and goes in third down and five coming up.
7:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, and see that was one of those you know,
8:00
play action trying to hit the ball over the middle
8:02
of the field, and Baylor did a nice job of
8:04
stopping in it and just couldn't find a secondary guy open.
8:08
Speaker 2: Jeremy Evans applied the pressure made Devon kind of rolled
8:10
out to his right hand side. Rogers and Bray stay
8:13
in the ball game, No way. Sean Parker here on
8:15
the opening drive tight end in three receivers for Utah
8:19
third down in five twelve twelve to play. Here in
8:21
the first quarter, opening offensive drive for Utah.
8:26
Speaker 1: Motion man Ryan Davis.
8:28
Speaker 2: Devin to throw lots of time again, pumping, looking, scrambling
8:32
out to his right hand side, looking down the field,
8:35
and then just throws it away out of bounds. He
8:39
was given plenty of time to throw. Nobody got opened
8:41
down the field, and it forces a fun team to
8:43
come out on fourth down.
8:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, Baylor just went into his own situation. And that's
8:48
one of the challenging things for Devin is sitting in
8:52
that pocket and zones and being and just kind of
8:54
seeing things. You know, he might have had some guys
8:56
open there he couldn't quite see, and if you don't
8:58
hit him in time, they're not open. And then he
9:00
just kind of scrambled there.
9:01
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, I'm it's just tough when he
9:04
has to sit in that pocket. Some day.
9:06
Speaker 2: Taylor gives up one hundred and seventy seven yards on
9:08
the ground per game. I thought maybe a few more
9:10
runs on that series. Here's the punt by Oryan Phillips
9:13
hi hanging kick. Josh Cameron's gonna look to take it
9:17
and does from his own sixteen yard line. Look out
9:19
for Cameron. He's up the field beyond the thirty after
9:23
the thirty five yard line. He goes and drop right there.
9:25
I thought he was gonna fair catch it. I think
9:27
the Utah special teams did too. Nobody waited. Yeah, he
9:30
picked up nineteen yards.
9:31
Speaker 1: On the return. Bailer will have it first and ten
9:33
at their own thirty five yard line. Will we get back?
9:36
Speaker 2: Fifty four yard punt, nineteen yard return. Zero zero our
9:39

Speaker 2: He's team's punted on a drive so hard A nine
10:14
eleven forty five to play here in the first half,
10:16
Bill Riley, Scott, Mitchell upstairs, slide downstairs. Baylor's got it
10:20
first and ten at their own thirty five yard Lin Scott.
10:23
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know.
10:23
Speaker 5: Another thing Baylor might try to do is just, you know,
10:25
some trick plays, just some things to just kind of
10:28
break momentum and kind of disrupt this defense.
10:33
Speaker 2: Rice and Washington the tailback, Michael trigged the tight end
10:36
in the right slot.
10:37
Speaker 1: Three receivers.
10:38
Speaker 2: They've got four or five really good receivers on this
10:40
Baylor team. Robertson lines up in the shotgun. He'll be
10:43
there all day long, Utah with a four man down front.
10:45
On first down and ten, now, Robertson's gonna step up,
10:48
maybe change the play just a little bit of here.
10:50
On first down, takes the snap play action pass, firing
10:54
to the outside. It's tipped and nearly intercepted. Jackson Betty
10:58
got his hand on it, and if he goes about
11:00
an inch or two higher. He might have a pick six.
11:02
Good read by Betty incomplete.
11:04
Speaker 3: Yeah. One of the things teams try.
11:06
Speaker 5: They try to throw these quick passes, and you Tah
11:08
just so effective at knocking down the ball with those
11:11
defensive linemen when they can't get the quarterback.
11:14
Speaker 2: Utah playing some press man here tonight is they tend
11:16
to like to do. They'll play a little off on
11:18
this one second down in ten for the thirty five.
11:20
We'll see if Baylor runs it here. They won't Robertson
11:22
to pass another play action. He's gonna step up and
11:24
scramble Toyer Robertson down at about the forty yard line.
11:29
He's got a little athleticism to him. He saw it
11:31
right away open up. He picked up five third down
11:33
and five coming up.
11:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's just kind of how the motion of
11:37
the line went right there. He just saw a whole
11:39
I mean, this is is not a totally designed thing
11:41
by him, but he will run the football. Just doesn't
11:44
necessarily live live and die by running it.
11:46
Speaker 2: Bears a row for one on third down. They pace
11:48
third down in five and a half here from just
11:50
shy of their own forty yard line. Pistol formation with
11:53
bryceon Washington and the pistol. I'm gonna hand it to
11:55
Washington now. The play action, fade up the sideline, got
11:58
a man caught you taught already and down to the
12:00
twenty five Ashton Hawkins ran right.
12:05
Speaker 1: By Scoomy Davis.
12:06
Speaker 2: They'll mark him down at the twenty three yard line.
12:09
First down, Baylor. They're gonna take shots tonight Scott all
12:12
night long. Thirty eight yards.
12:13
Speaker 5: And you know you're good when you have confidence to
12:15
take a shot like that.
12:16
Speaker 2: On third down, first down in ten for the Utah
12:19
twenty three Roberts and looking down the field again, nothing there.
12:22
Throws short skipped it to his wide receiver. Actually yeah,
12:25
his wide receiver Cole Wilson.
12:27
Speaker 1: Incomplete. They tried to go quick. Utah was ready. Second
12:30
down and ten.
12:31
Speaker 3: What happened on that play, Well, Utah did such a
12:33
good job of covering the screen before they did, kind
12:36
of the fake screen, and then they're gonna slip the
12:37
guy up the sideline.
12:39
Speaker 5: Utah just covered it beautifully. I mean, no one was
12:42
even close to being opened.
12:43
Speaker 2: Three receivers on the right hand side, tight end to
12:45
the right slot tailback is Bryce in Washington. On second
12:48
down and ten hand off Washington. He is stacked up
12:51
in a line of scrimmage and dropped right there. John
12:54
Henry day Lander Barton in on the tackle. Let me
12:57
be third down and long here for Baylor.
13:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, in the Cincinnati game, Utah had
13:03
a little bit of struggle trying to stop the run
13:05
because they're so focused on the pass. And a couple
13:07
of plays early in this game have been like that.
13:09
But they've dialed up stopping the run. Here with this
13:12
Utah defense.
13:13
Speaker 2: One for two on third down, they converted their last
13:15
his third down and ten and a half here for Baylor.
13:18
Got to get to the Utah thirteen. Robertson's gonna pass,
13:21
Utah's gonna bring pressure. He's got timeline, picks it up,
13:23
knocked away and incomplete excellent play by Tao Johnson. He
13:29
was right in front of Michael Trigg and knocked it away,
13:31
almost intercepted that ball, and that'll bring up fourth down
13:33
on the field goal team led by Connor Hawkins will
13:36
come out and attempt a field goal. Yeah, Utah blitz
13:39
there in Tail. You know, he's a safety, but he's a.
13:41
Speaker 5: Guy that can cover and that's a good matchup with
13:44
the tight end, and he did just at an excellent job.
13:46
Speaker 3: I mean almost gonna picked that off. He would have,
13:49
he'd have run a pick six right there.
13:50
Speaker 2: Forty two yard attempt just inside the left hash for Hawkins,
13:54
who's pretty good this year. Twelve to fourteen is missed
13:57
only from fifty three.
13:58
Speaker 1: And forty six yards. This is high.
14:00
Speaker 2: It's end over end, and it is no good. He
14:02
missed it wide left.
14:04
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes kickers kind of get challenged when you
14:07
take some time off. It's like your golf game. If
14:10
you're not out playing all the time, you just you
14:12
lose your rhythm.
14:13
Speaker 2: So the Utah defense comes up with a big stand.
14:16
It'll be Utah football when we get back here in
14:18
Baylor nine fifty seven of play in the first quarter
14:21
Utah zero and Baylor zero. For the Big O Tires
14:24
broadcast food at Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred and
14:27
the Youth Sports Radio Network Jersey Mike's about sponsored Utah football.
14:31
Speaker 3: Be sure to.
14:31
Speaker 2: Stop by your local Jersey Mics because authentic ingredients make
14:35
it a sub above. Down to the sideline we go.
14:37
After that big play, the Utah defense came up with
14:39
a nice place live.
14:40
Speaker 6: Now the defense is doing a terrific job. Oftentimes the
14:43
first two series is a big feeling out process, right,
14:46
filling out the talent, filling out the speed.
14:49
Speaker 7: Luckily they came away with no points on those.
14:51
Speaker 6: First two series. Defensive settling in on the run game,
14:53
doing a good job. Now it's time for our offense
14:56
to do exactly what we talked about in the pregame.
14:59
Speaker 7: Control the clock.
15:00
Speaker 6: We need time to possession and that's by running the football.
15:02
Speaker 1: So I thank you, silent up. They brought to you
15:04
by Ken Garth.
15:05
Speaker 3: We hear you. You think we'll see more run on this series, Scott.
15:07
Speaker 5: I would think so. I'm not sure why we haven't
15:10
seen way Shawn Parker. You know, he's clearly established himself
15:14
as that guy. But the guy to really do it
15:16
and is Devin Dampier. And it's on those third downs.
15:20
He's just so good at converting him and he just
15:23
really needed to make more out of that last third
15:25
down than he did.
15:26
Speaker 2: Well, asking you shout receive the man of the pink
15:28
cleach is in the ball game, flexed out to the
15:30
left hand side.
15:31
Speaker 1: That's way Sean Parker.
15:32
Speaker 2: Now he comes in motion, they give it away Sean
15:34
on the outside, bounces and loses a yard back to
15:37
about the twenty four yard line. He was belted at
15:40
a bounds by that Baylor defense. He just strung it
15:43
out really well on that far sideline.
15:44
Speaker 3: Long are you string string that playout?
15:46
Speaker 5: It just gives the defense a chance to react and
15:49
you know, rally to the ball.
15:51
Speaker 3: You got to hit that quicker. It's it's not a
15:53
good play.
15:54
Speaker 1: Devin Bobby made the tackle. No relation to Ricky.
15:58
Speaker 2: Second down at eleven, Parker stays in the ball game
16:01
of those pink cleats. Baylor crowds the line of scrimmage.
16:04
On second down at eleven, Devon's gonna pass looking exclusively
16:07
out to his right now. He throws back his left
16:09
out to his right now and the ball knocked away.
16:12
They were trying to get it to JJ Buchanan. The
16:14
pocket has been perfect, Scott. He's had all day to throw,
16:17
just hasn't been able to complete him yet. He's now
16:19
one out of four.
16:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was it was really a zone, but
16:22
it's a kind of a matchup zone and the route
16:24
was called against his zone, and no one was really
16:27
finding an.
16:28
Speaker 3: Opening in the hole to get open. I mean there
16:31
was there really wasn't anyone open there?
16:33
Speaker 2: Utah oh for one on third down, They've got a
16:35
third down at eleven. Right here, free receivers tied in emotion.
16:40
Dylan Bentley out of the shotgun, Devon Dan Pierre, five
16:43
man rush here for Baylor.
16:45
Speaker 1: Here they come.
16:45
Speaker 2: He continues to drift back and now Devon's gonna sprint
16:48
out to the left hand side, look down the field,
16:50
throw back across the field, and it's nearly intercepted. Dylan
16:55
Bentley was the intended receive it. Kylon Read the linebacker
16:58
was out there. That was dangerous by.
16:59
Speaker 5: De Yeah, I think he was actually throwing it to
17:02
someone else there. And you just got you got to
17:05
work back to the quarterback in that situation. But that
17:09
is as a highly highly dangerous play and you can't
17:12
you can't get frustrated as a quarterback. You just gotta
17:15
still be patient, you know, don't don't make a dumb play.
17:19
Speaker 3: Again.
17:19
Speaker 2: One run on that series and now a three and out.
17:22
In the punt, Josh Camer the dangerous punt returner, preseason
17:25
All American for Baylor at his own twenty eight, Oryan
17:28
Phillips will punt from inside of his own ten, little
17:31
pressure coming, a high hanging kick again, Cameron driven back
17:35
inside of his own twenty takes it at the sixteen.
17:38
Josh Cameron slips, gets back up and he's gonna be
17:41
taken down. I think he's still on his feet and
17:45
they'll give him progress. Wow, they gave him progress to
17:48
the twenty four. I don't know that he ever got
17:50
the twenty four yard line. Maybe the twenty three. Then
17:52
driven back. Another terrific punt by Phillips, a seven yard
17:56
return by Cameron. Baylor's got it inside the twenty five
18:00
twenty four yard line, first down a ten, A sixty
18:02
yard punt by a Ryan Phillips.
18:03
Speaker 5: A lot of times you OutKick your coverage in those situations,
18:06
and because the punt was so high, the defense really
18:08
got there.
18:08
Speaker 3: And that's an excellent flipping the field position for Utah.
18:12
Speaker 2: One of the two freshmen a tail back in the
18:14
ballgame now, Michael Turner in first and ten for Sawyer
18:17
Robertson splits two receivers left and two receivers rights, and
18:21
Utah will show a four man down front. On first down,
18:25
Turner out of richlnd Hills, Texas. They handed off to
18:29
him and he picks his way forward beyond the twenty
18:31
five to the twenty nine yard line for a gain
18:33
of five. Utah has missed tackles Early Scott in the
18:36
backfield and at the line of scrimmage.
18:38
Speaker 5: Ye, and that's that sometimes can be part of the
18:41
you know, five week thing, and you can get out
18:44
of your rhythm there and you know, Utah kind of
18:46
did that on that last play right there, or in
18:49
the game in general.
18:51
Speaker 2: And another freshman Cayden Knighton in the ball game now
18:54
at tailback four the Baylor Bears. They split three receivers
18:57
out and a tight end to Night and the right
19:00
side of Robertson on second down and five for the
19:02
twenty nine Robertson hands straight ahead Knighting. He's got first
19:07
down yardage to the thirty five. He needed five, he
19:10
got six. Another good surge Bamah. He made the tackle
19:13
for Utah. But Utah looks very porous on the ground
19:16
right now.
19:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's it's kind of not reading, you know,
19:18
just kind of catching guys right there and just just
19:21
not getting off of Blox. You gotta get off the ball,
19:25
and Utah is just not doing it right now.
19:26
Speaker 1: Night and stays in the ball game.
19:27
Speaker 2: He had his first career one hundred yard game before
19:30
the bye against UCF. Four pass catchers in the pattern,
19:34
this time for Baylor, Robertson's gonna pass. They throw the
19:37
ball outside behind Josh Cameron incompleted goes. Pressure was right
19:41
in his face. He had to get rid of it,
19:43
and the coverage was good as well. On Cameron.
19:45
Speaker 3: You know, I was.
19:46
Speaker 5: Always taught when you have pressure, you're goin to get
19:49
hit anyway, so you might as well complete the pass.
19:51
You just got to relax and just throw the ball.
19:54
Speaker 3: And so often those quarterbacks feel the pressure, and they
19:56
just rushed the throw.
19:57
Speaker 2: Robertson now two out of seven second down and ten
19:59
for Baylor their own thirty five. They'll keep throwing it though.
20:02
That's what Robertson does. Kayden Knighton stays in. They motioned
20:06
a man Hawkins across the formation, naked Cole Wilson. Now
20:09
they're gonna throw that in cut again and Blake Cotton
20:12
nearly intercepted that. They tried to go back to Josh Cameron,
20:15
and Blake Cotton ran the route better than Cameron did.
20:18
Speaker 1: Nearly came up with the pick incomplete third down.
20:20
Speaker 5: Now, well, I'm not sure how they can't call this
20:22
pass interference. I mean, Blake had the path to the
20:25
ball and Cameron almost tackled him from behind him.
20:30
Speaker 2: So third down and ten from the thirty five for Baylor,
20:32
They're one out of three on third down. Three receivers
20:35
on the right, one to the left hand side, Knight
20:37
and stays of the ball game. He will catch passes
20:39
out of the backfield. Robertson in the shotgun you tak
20:42
creeping to the line of scrimmage. Will they bring pressure, Yes,
20:46
they will. Four man rush off the edge, Robertson over
20:49
the middle and complete and nearly intercepted. He's skided over
20:52
the head of his wide receiver, Josh Cameron. Not one
20:55
but two utes were close to it. It goes incomplete.
20:59
And that Morgan Scalley bringing pressure from an unusual situation
21:02
right there.
21:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he dropped back in zone, you know. And
21:05
those are those different looks, you know, if the pressure
21:07
comes from a way out on the edge, but then
21:10
you're in the zone coverage and you can tell it
21:13
really threw him off. And they have they showed him
21:15
all different kinds of looks, and I think It's a great,
21:18
great strategy.
21:19
Speaker 2: So far, Palmer Williams averaging forty seven yards of kick
21:22
this year, we'll put away to mount a car volume
21:24
Rugby style, this time to the right hand.
21:26
Speaker 1: Side, end over end kick.
21:28
Speaker 2: Carvolo is gonna come up and fair catch it and
21:30
take it at about the twenty four yard line. That's
21:32
where Utah will take over first and ten when we
21:34
get back our first halftain. I'd being brought to you
21:36
by the Utah Campus Store. Get game day ready at
21:39
the Utah Campus Doore, the official retailer of the U.
21:42
Visit view of you campus store to day or shop
21:44
online at store dot Utah dot edu. We're just passed
21:48
halfway in this first quarter in scoreless in Waco. This
21:51
is Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred and the Youth
21:53
Sports Radio Network. Minkiko tur proud sponsor of Utah football.
21:58
Blanket season back in Utah on not here in Wayco tonight.
22:01
It's in the mid seventies still, but either Minckey Blankets
22:04
from now and for the holidays, six locations and online
22:07
for minky Here's our first Dave spatafour spat stat of
22:10
the night. The quarterbacks so far tonight, Scott are combined
22:13
three of fourteen for forty seven yards. Damn here, one
22:16
for five for twelve, Robertson two for nine for thirty five,
22:20
and he's he's got one pass of thirty seven yards
22:24
and one for minus two. So the defenses have been
22:27
good so far. I'm just really surprised. And again, we've
22:29
got a lot of football to play, but I'm really
22:30
surprised Utah hasn't just tried to run right at this
22:33
Baylor defense.
22:34
Speaker 5: Well, in Utah throws the ball better off of the run,
22:36
and you've got to establish that.
22:39
Speaker 3: You've got to make it painful for the defense.
22:41
Speaker 5: You got to get him to kind of get out
22:42
of a comfort zone because in the secondary for Baylor,
22:45
they've been plastered all over these wide receivers.
22:48
Speaker 1: For Utah, lay Shawn Parker will be the tailback for
22:52
Utah first and ten uts when their own twenty four
22:55
yard line. Seven to twenty one to play here the
22:57
first quarter, a long first quarter so far, still scoreless.
23:03
Can't miss Parker's in those pink cleats, Tobe, what's putting
23:06
away the pink gloves.
23:07
Speaker 5: Though, Yeah, he's toned it down a little bit. Yeah,
23:09
trying to be a little incognito here.
23:11
Speaker 2: Way Shawn Say, he's got a knee back in Sacramento
23:14
that likes to see him on TV and can see
23:16
him in those pink pleats. First down, handoff, way Sean
23:19
moving his way forward, twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven,
23:22
still on his feet, thirty and thirty one, thirty two
23:24
yard line. Wow, that was a game that looked like
23:27
a game of two turned into a game of eight
23:29
for Utah. Gaggle of Baylor Beard defenders there to make
23:32
the tackle, but a good run on first half.
23:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the coaches, as someone got on every one
23:36
on the sideline, said run the ball, run it up
23:38
the middle of the field here, and they got one
23:40
wide receiver in the game.
23:41
Speaker 3: And they're just gonna try to just jam it down.
23:43
Speaker 2: Baylor's throat two receivers right this time on second down
23:46
and two way Shan, the Wildcat running back. He's got
23:49
first down yardage after the thirty five and a pickup
23:52
of three. So two runs eleven yards and that's more
23:55
like Utah football. Cooper Lance made the tackles.
23:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, These offensive lineman they just want to get off
24:01
the ball, you know, they just want to let me
24:03
go block someone. Let me just move forward. And that's
24:05
where Utah is great. Those linemen moving forward is a
24:08
tough problem for most defenses.
24:10
Speaker 2: Two tights and two wides. They bring a tight end
24:12
in motion. Now on that right hand side hand again, Oh,
24:15
Devon's going to keep it himself. He's going to be
24:17
dropped all the way back to the thirty yard line.
24:19
That's going to be a loss of five yards. He
24:21
should have given that ball to way Sean Parker had
24:23
not kept it.
24:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, and well they kind of had it across the board.
24:28
Speaker 5: The offensive lineman blocked the linebacker into the play right there.
24:33
It would have been bad either way.
24:36
Speaker 2: So second down and fifteen on a negative play and
24:40
throwing position. Now, if they want to two receivers left,
24:45
two receivers right, Devon by himself, he's going to keep
24:48
it himself. Now, a pop pass over the middle JJ
24:50
Buchanan beyond the forty and rolls down at about the
24:53
forty six yard line.
24:54
Speaker 1: I love that call.
24:55
Speaker 2: That's a gain of sixteen in a first down to
24:57
JJ Buchanan.
24:58
Speaker 3: Yeah.
24:58
Speaker 5: See that's all quarterback, you know. Get everyone out of
25:01
the backfield and those linebackers they got to make a decision.
25:04
What do we come up and stop this. It's almost
25:06
like a pop pass for a quarterback from the from
25:09
the shotgun. That's a very very well designed play.
25:13
Speaker 2: Excellent catch by Buchan and two first intended to forty
25:16
six down for Utah. Parker hand off, bounces to the
25:19
left end of the secondary, goes and down at about
25:21
the fifty yard line for a gain of four. Devin,
25:24
Bobby's been busy, ton I have the strong safety stops
25:27
him at midfield. Second down and six coming up.
25:29
Speaker 5: Someone got the memo because this drive has been heavy
25:33
run and heavy run between.
25:35
Speaker 2: It's been run straight ahead. It's not been trying to
25:37
outflank him on the perimeters.
25:38
Speaker 3: Here we are, here we go.
25:40
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, heavy formation this time. Wayshaun Parker is
25:44
your wildcat. He's going to keep it himself. He's going
25:46
to get to the fifty, spin out of a tackle
25:48
at the forty seven and push to the forty six.
25:50
Speaker 1: Yard line and be about two.
25:52
Speaker 2: Yards shy of the first down that looked like it
25:53
was going to be a no gain, four yards out
25:55
of it.
25:55
Speaker 1: Third down and two coming.
25:57
Speaker 5: Up, Yeah, and Wyshank's got to just be a little
25:59
bit more patient there, because if he tucks behind the block,
26:02
he's gonna get up to the defense before they can
26:04
get to him. When he has to bounce it out,
26:06
it's just too much time and it throws off the timing.
26:09
Speaker 2: Third down in two Utah zero for two. On third down,
26:11
they shift personnel all over the formation. Three tight ends
26:15
of the formation now for Utah. Devin damp Pier keeps
26:19
it himself, bounces to the outside. Devon's got the forty five,
26:22
stays in bounds forty He steps out of bounds to
26:24
the thirty four yard line. Devon damp Pier a gate
26:27
of twelve and a first down. Yeah, that's a tough
26:29
play to defend. You got all those those blockers there,
26:32
and then your quarterback runs.
26:34
Speaker 5: It's almost impossible. Devin really makes a lot out of
26:37
out of a play though.
26:38
Speaker 3: He bounces it and gets the first down, almost breaks
26:40
it for a touchdown.
26:41
Speaker 1: Utah going with a little tempo here.
26:43
Speaker 2: Three receivers way, Shawn Parker stays in Baylor's got four
26:46
of the line of scrimmage motion, a tight end of
26:48
the right hand side, and Devon's gonna keep it himself
26:51
to the thirty and down to about the twenty nine
26:53
yard line for a game of five. He's taking some
26:56
hits here. Early tangled on the play by Micah Gifford,
26:58
strong safety.
27:00
Speaker 5: And I like, you know, a lot of teams will
27:02
get inside the fifty and they try to do some
27:03
cute play and the running has been working, and I
27:07
like that Utah stayed with it after they got past
27:09
the fifty.
27:09
Speaker 1: Parker stays in second down and six damp Pierre's gonna
27:13
go up and change the play at the line of
27:14
scrimmage now, Flex's two tight ends to the right hand side,
27:18
one to the left hand side. Parker stays.
27:20
Speaker 2: At the ball game, Baylor was six at the line
27:22
of scrimmage, way sean straight ahead through a hole and
27:25
down to the twenty five, almost the twenty four. He'll
27:28
be about a half yard shy of the first down.
27:30
Parker's really been a different speaker on this drive, Scott.
27:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, he really has. And you know he's a difference
27:35
maker on this team. I mean, he's just a you
27:37
can see just how active this feed are. You know,
27:39
they're he's just got He's got really live live feet tonight,
27:43
which is a great sign.
27:45
Speaker 2: Probably four down territory here for Utah third down, half
27:48
a yard at the twenty five yard line. Nacari Rodgers
27:50
checks in, Baylor brings the beef in up up. They're
27:53
expecting a run. Utah one for three on third downs,
27:57
two forty two.
27:58
Speaker 1: Of o'clock running to play here in the first quarter,
28:01
scoreless jumbo package, Utah turn and a play action down.
28:05
Speaker 2: The field's got a man wide open ten to five touchdown.
28:10
Dallan Bentley snuck outs. They thought it was a run,
28:13
it was a pass and it's a Utah touchdown.
28:17
Speaker 5: That was a good throw by Devin because because it's
28:20
so wide open or I don't even know it was Bentley,
28:23
but it was, yeah, and just very well designed, you
28:26
know That's what I mean. You pound a pound pound
28:28
a run and then you just call the play action
28:31
at the right time.
28:31
Speaker 3: Just well well timed call right there for.
28:34
Speaker 2: Jason beck fourth touchdown of the year, a Pepsi touchdown
28:38
for Dallon Bentley, twenty five yards from Devon Dan Pierre.
28:41
And that looked more like a Utah offensive drive right there.
28:44
We'll get the so get the numbers on that drive
28:45
for you, and Dylan Curtis is on to attempt to
28:48
point after touchdown here, good snap, good holding, he drills
28:51
it through at seven top of utes with two thirty
28:54
one to play here in the first quarter. How about
28:56
a ten play Scott seventy six yard drive that took
28:59
four to and it's in fifty seconds off the clock.
29:01
Damn Pierre was two for two for thirty seven yards
29:04
and a touchdown.
29:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was it was just that straight ahead
29:07
running and it just kind of big boy Utah football
29:11
at its finest. And then it just everything builds off
29:14
of that.
29:14
Speaker 3: You know.
29:14
Speaker 5: The two passes were well conceived plays off of the run,
29:19
and that's what that's what this Utah football team is.
29:22
It's not a drop back in the pocket, read his
29:25
own kind of offense.
29:26
Speaker 3: And when you do that, you see the results.
29:29
Speaker 1: Way.
29:30
Speaker 2: Shawn Parker big on that drive, so was Devin dam Pierre.
29:33
Utah leads at seven nothing now with two forty maybe
29:37
two thirty one to play in the first quarter here
29:39
in Waco, kickoff coming up here for Utah. Another lead
29:47
in the first quarter for Utah. They're making it a
29:49
habit now the last three games. Cole Wilson back deeper,
29:51
received his kick, brought the first one out, kind of
29:54
short by Curtis the first time through, which is unusual
29:57
for Dylan been really good this year on this ca offs,
30:05
everybody ready to go putting Curtis who approaches and puts
30:08
his right foot into it. This would a little bit
30:10
better and a little bit deeper, and Wilson's not gonna
30:12
bring this one out six yards deep in a touchback.
30:16
Speaker 1: And Soyer Robertson will.
30:17
Speaker 2: Come out for a fourth time today and we'll see
30:21
what he could.
30:21
Speaker 1: Do with this drive.
30:22
Speaker 2: He's two out of nine for thirty five yards throwing
30:25
so far. But again, they've got playmakers on this team.
30:28
Speaker 1: They can strike you quick.
30:29
Speaker 5: With that speed they have. Well, yeah, and the willingness
30:31
to throw the football. There's no there's no question about it.
30:33
He just can never let up and you know, never
30:36
take it. And it's interesting because you know Baylor's tried
30:39
to run it early. Maybe they'll just start chucking the
30:41
ball like because that's what we do best.
30:43
Speaker 2: Michael Turner, freshman tail back of the ball game. Here
30:45
on first down in ten, Robertson's gonna throw looking out
30:48
to his right, now back to his left over the
30:49
middle of he ghoest glow throw, but caught makes a
30:52
man missing the open field and.
30:53
Speaker 8: It takes a kneed.
30:54
Speaker 2: Does that talkin He's like, I saw a linebacker coming.
30:57
I don't want Lander Barton, they hitting me all take
30:59
my knee right here to pick up fourteen yards? Just
31:02
not worth the hit right there. That was a business
31:04
decision by Ashton Hawkins.
31:05
Speaker 1: First intend at to thirty eight. Now for Baylor.
31:08
Speaker 2: Oh and what do we have? There was movement up front.
31:11
They're saying it was on the left guard. He say,
31:13
that's what Alik giv you. Mahi is saying. Right now,
31:15
we'll see what the call is.
31:19
Speaker 3: The reaction from the guard was the best part you
31:21
can get.
31:21
Speaker 1: It just turtled his way back there, got.
31:23
Speaker 3: Hit and fell over like you've just been moto. He's
31:26
even laughing about it.
31:27
Speaker 1: Right now, here's the call from a referee f s
31:32
puppence number sixty five, five yard penalty.
31:35
Speaker 3: Still first down.
31:39
Speaker 2: They call it on Sean Tompkins. Unless it was a
31:41
switch tonight should be Ryan Lengele. He's the left guard. Yeah,
31:47
it was the left guard. They just got sixty five
31:49
playing out of left tackle. So first down in fifteen
31:52
now back at the thirty three yard line. Robertson out
31:56
of the gun with four receivers across the pattern. Here,
31:58
got his tail backed Mike Turner. He's going to drop
32:01
back to pass again. Pressure in his face, takes a
32:03
hit as he throws. It's up and dropped by Michael Trigg.
32:06
Speaker 3: Oh.
32:07
Speaker 2: He was hand fighting up the sideline with Jackson Benny.
32:10
That was a catchable ball. Probably should have caught it
32:12
incompleted goes. That was a good throw.
32:15
Speaker 5: That's a great throw, and he had to get rid
32:17
of it quick because John Henry Daily did a nice
32:20
spin move to the inside and just tagged Robertson, but
32:25
almost looked like pass interference too.
32:27
Speaker 2: It did a lot of hand fighting going on. Second
32:29
down in fifteen. Now back of the thirty three two
32:32
left and two right here for Sawyer roberts and Utah's
32:35
got five of the line of scrimmage. Now six as
32:36
they walk a backer up Robertson play action, pressure coming
32:43
in his face, throws to the outside.
32:44
Speaker 1: It's caught there and taking down immediately.
32:46
Speaker 2: Good open field tackle on Ashton Hawkins. That was Scooby Davis.
32:52
He picked up we'll call it eleven of the fifteen.
32:54
He needed third down and four coming up here for
32:56
the Bears.
32:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, you get these teams that throw the ball a lot,
32:58
and they're really good at pass protection and especially at
33:01
the running backs. And you know, running back did a
33:04
really good job of meeting Lander Barton at the line
33:06
of scrimmage.
33:07
Speaker 2: Bears are one for four on third down. They've got
33:09
to pick up four yards right here, Turner in the
33:12
pistol formation. Here Robertson claps his hands, takes the snap,
33:16
hands it. Now he takes a hit as he throws outside,
33:18
broken up by Scooby Davis.
33:19
Speaker 7: Oh in flags fly.
33:24
Speaker 2: And that's going to be past interference on Davis. As
33:27
they tried to get that ball to Ashton Hawkins.
33:30
Speaker 3: Well he got he got his hand on him. Boy.
33:33
Speaker 2: It's so it's just oh man, that was pretty good coverage.
33:37
Unless they're saying he got that arm on the back
33:39
side wrapped around him.
33:40
Speaker 3: I think he was holding him. But the ball was
33:42
thrown behind him.
33:44
Speaker 9: Test interference Defense number nine pawing be placed at the
33:47
front of the fowl automatic Corset hels.
33:51
Speaker 5: It's almost like the throw was so bad that it
33:53
really helped the pass interference there. I think it had
33:55
been thrown forward more. It might have just been you know,
33:58
two guys fighting for the ball.
34:00
Speaker 2: Kevin Marra, referee and I out of the Big twelve Conference.
34:02
Three receivers on the right hand side, one to the
34:04
left hand side. They love to take shots from this
34:06
position on the field. Michael Turner, the tailback for Sawyer
34:10
Robertson on first and ten for the Utah forty five
34:14
signals to his receivers on the right hand side. Now
34:16
he's gonna pass throws to the outside behind his man,
34:20
but caught. That was Trigg the tight end, and that's
34:23
a gate of six to the Utah thirty nine.
34:25
Speaker 1: Heck of a catch by Trig.
34:26
Speaker 5: I think everyone's surprised by that, including Trig because I
34:31
you know it's behind. I'm not sure that was the
34:32
guy who wanted to throw the ball to. But good catch.
34:35
Speaker 2: Second down in four Robertson gonna give it to Turner
34:37
this time, who picks up about a yard to the
34:40
thirty eight.
34:41
Speaker 1: Just being to Michael Trigg.
34:42
Speaker 2: By the way, Utah fans should be familiar with Michael Trigg.
34:45
Speaker 1: They've seen him for a long time. He was a
34:47
wide receiver back of the day at usc As.
34:50
Speaker 2: We've got a Baylor player down on the field right
34:52
now it looks like Omar egbadon the right guard in
34:57
Outland watch List nominee thirty nine seconds to play for
35:01
this injury time out here in the first quarter. But
35:04
Trigg finish my thought. He began at USC didn't use
35:07
him much. He went to Old Miss play for Lane
35:10
Kiffin for a year and now he's been here for
35:11
a couple of years. Having a really he's gonna be
35:13
a Sunday tight ends guy.
35:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he moves really fluid, got great hands, He's
35:17
got a body type that creates mismatches, and just with
35:21
how tight ends are flexed out and they're the third
35:25
option on a lot of NFL teams, so you get
35:27
the favorable matchup almost all the time. And of course
35:30
then if you get the good matchup, you're giving something
35:32
up on the outside. So it's always a matchup problem
35:35
with a player like that, regardless of where they play.
35:39
And you know it is the game today, it's tight
35:43
ends stretching the field.
35:46
Speaker 2: Be interesting to see if Baylor tries to run it
35:48
here on third down and four and they might be
35:50
in four down territory. Bryce in Washington's a tailback back
35:53
in the ball game. He's their lead guy two left
35:56
and one right plus the tight end of the right slot.
35:58
On third down and four from the Utah up thirty
36:01
eight and a half yard line, Robertson in the shotgun.
36:04
Utah crowds the box right now with seven near the
36:06
line of scrimmage, man coverage on the outside, single high
36:10
safety behind. Robertson claps his hands.
36:13
Speaker 1: Play action pass looking to the outside again, intercepted.
36:16
Speaker 10: It, pick and there he goes up the far sideline.
36:19
Scooby Davis ten five touchdown touchdown. It's a house call
36:26
for Scooby and a Utah touchdown.
36:30
Speaker 5: So I was watching Scooby because he's been pressed up
36:32
at the line of scrimmage and he this time he
36:36
just stayed off and he just read the quarterback and
36:39
he just he says, I know this guy's gonna run
36:41
a quick route.
36:42
Speaker 3: I'm gonna jump it was it was just a beautiful thing.
36:45
Speaker 5: But he just totally baited that throw by playing off
36:48
in the coverage and it was the first he's done tonight.
36:51
Speaker 3: Now, that was just fun right there.
36:53
Speaker 2: Sixty six yards on the house call for Davis, his
36:57
first interception to the season, his third of his career,
37:00
and first pick six for Scooby Davis. Pat coming up
37:05
here for Dylan Curtis. It's up and it's good. That
37:08
Pepsi touchdown brought to you by the official soft drink
37:11
partner of the University of Utah, Pepsicola. Eleven seconds remain
37:15
here of the first it's now fourteen nothing Utah.
37:18
Speaker 5: You know if you're gonna pick on me, because they
37:20
keep picking on Scooby, so I'll make you pay for it.
37:23
And he did right there in a big way. And
37:26
that's just a savvy player. That's so impressive to see.
37:28
Speaker 2: That's making up for the pass interference called two plays
37:31
before reading it beautifully in the second pick six of
37:34
the year for the University of Utah defense, Jackson Betty
37:37
had won early and now here in game number ten,
37:41
it's Elijah Scooby Davis who's got to pick six to
37:43
make it fourteen nothing Utah here late in the first quarter.
37:47
Speaker 5: You know, it's a great example of when you're a
37:50
defensive back, you gotta have a short term memory.
37:52
Speaker 3: You know, I get a pass interference, I get burned
37:55
on a big play. Next play, move on.
37:58
Speaker 5: And just I'll let it get you down because you're
38:01
gonna make a big player along the way here.
38:03
Speaker 1: Down to the sideline. Sly what he got, man, that was.
38:06
Speaker 6: An awesome breed by Scooby Davis. What he saw was
38:09
the formation. He knew it was gonna be a pick route.
38:11
He set himself slightly behind Miss Snowden and jumped that
38:16
route out of Sawyer. Robinson had no opportunity. He was
38:19
dead locked on throwing that ball. No matter what we said.
38:22
He's a gun slicker. He's willing to throw that ball
38:24
out there. Scooby Davis makes a great play right there, all.
38:28
Speaker 7: The way through the end zone.
38:28
Speaker 2: Well that time the gun slinger shot himself in the foot.
38:32
Elijah Davis to the house sixty six yards. Nilan Curti
38:36
is ready to kick it off. Col Wilson back deep.
38:38
It's high, it's end over end, and Wilson said, Nope,
38:42
not this time. Baylor will have it first and ten
38:45
at their own twenty five yard line. Pretty good first
38:48
quarter so far for utahsk That really.
38:49
Speaker 5: Good quarter And speaking to that gunslinger mentality, you know,
38:53
gotta get the gun out of your holster.
38:55
Speaker 3: That's the thing.
38:57
Speaker 5: Like I said, you're gonna shoot yourself in the foot.
39:00
First things first, get it out of your holster.
39:03
Speaker 2: So here they go first and ten from there only
39:04
twenty five. Right after the pick six Brice and Washington
39:08
the tailback. They grouped three receivers to the right, one
39:10
to the left hand side. Utah with four at the
39:13
line and six of the box. Hand it off to
39:17
Washington and he's gonna push the pile forward and pick
39:20
up about three to the twenty eight yard line, and
39:23
that will take us to the end of the first
39:24
quarter here at McLain Stadium.
39:25
Speaker 3: A good fist fifteen minutes.
39:27
Speaker 8: That's the end of the first quarter quarter for.
39:29
Speaker 1: The University of Utah.
39:30
Speaker 2: They lead a fourteen nothing are broadcast today, brought to
39:33

40:02

40:03
Speaker 2: Big O' Tires broadcast Food here at McLain Stadium. After

40:19
First quarter numbers from our friend Dave Spataford.
40:21
Speaker 3: Good to see.
40:22
Speaker 2: It's our final game tonight with Dave Spataford for the year. Well,
40:25
it's a final regular season game. They will be with
40:27
us in the postseason. But he's not dying or anything.
40:30
He's just, you know, gonna be spending family time and
40:33
stuff like that. Oh no, wait, a final road game.
40:35
I don't know what I'm saying. No, he'll no, he's
40:38
gone next week. Yeah, he's gone.
40:39
Speaker 3: So yeah.
40:40
Speaker 1: Anyway, Dave, we love having you here.
40:42
Speaker 2: Baylor one hundred and eight yards Utah ninety six, sixty
40:45
six through the air, forty two on the ground for Baylor,
40:48
fifty three through the air, forty three on the ground
40:50
for Utah. Time of possession almost even, seven fifty to
40:53
seven ten in favor of Utah.
40:54
Speaker 1: But all the really matters. Scott's score on the scoreboard
40:57
and Utah is up fourteen nothing thanks to that change.
41:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's what you do with the drives that that
41:03
really matters. And even though Baylor's got some some big
41:06
plays on these drives, they just haven't been able to convert.
41:09
Speaker 3: Them or turn them into anything.
41:10
Speaker 5: They missed the field goal, They had a couple of shots,
41:13
but they just they just really not not closed out
41:16
the deal here, and that's that's that's the difference right.
41:19
Speaker 3: Now in the game.
41:20
Speaker 2: Second down at seven for Baylor at their own twenty
41:23
eight yard line.
41:24
Speaker 3: As will begin things here in the second quarter.
41:28
Speaker 2: Bryson Washington, the preseason All Big twelve running back in
41:31
the backfield, got twenty five yards rushing in the first
41:34
quarter did Bryson Washington. Robertson operates out of the shotgun
41:38
two left and two right for Bryson Waller for Sawyer.
41:41
Robertson on second down delayed Blitz coming throwing to the
41:44
outside looking for Trigg.
41:45
Speaker 3: It's caught.
41:46
Speaker 2: Holy Moly, what a grab by Michael Trigg at the
41:49
Utah forty five. He beat Jackson Benny. That's the second
41:52
time he's got behind the Utah defense. Tonight that time
41:55
he came down with a catch.
41:57
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just a perfectly time throw, but just
42:00
those are hard catches right there like that, and just
42:02
ball was in the right spot and the guy just
42:04
just just grabbed.
42:06
Speaker 3: The ball right out of the air. There.
42:08
Speaker 5: UTA's kind of in this interesting formations, that NASCAR package,
42:12
and they just haven't quite gotten to the quarterback.
42:15
Speaker 2: Twenty seven yards on the pitch and catch to Michael
42:17
Trigg first and ten at the Utah forty five yard
42:20
line for the Baylor Bears. Two backs of the backfield
42:22
this time, Cole Wilson, a receiver and Bryson Washington. He's
42:28
gonna drop the passes Robertson. Lots of time pressure coming
42:31
up the sideline. Nobody there. Cole Wilson was the closest.
42:34
Utah had him well covered. It goes incomplete and you're
42:37
getting you right, Scott. The last rusher is about a
42:40
step late hitting the sawyer Robertson, you know.
42:42
Speaker 5: And it's it's a package Utah. It's kind of they're
42:46
conceding the run just a little bit. But there it's
42:49
really more to kind of get pressure on the quarterback,
42:51
get different looks and get to him, and they just
42:54
haven't yet.
42:54
Speaker 1: Four man down.
42:55
Speaker 2: Fraught on second down in ten, Robertson out of the
42:58
gun again, Washington with him, hand off straight ahead Bryson
43:01
Washington second level into the secondary's still on his feet.
43:04
Utah can't tackle him. He's at the ten, down to
43:07
the five yard line. Bryson Washington. My forty yard gallup
43:12
to the Utah five. Poor tackling by the Utah defense.
43:15
And it's first in Gold Bears.
43:18
Speaker 5: And that's when I was saying that that NASCAR package
43:20
really it's not really designed to get the run there,
43:24
and of course it hurt Utah.
43:26
Speaker 1: The Utah five.
43:26
Speaker 2: First down, hand off Bryson Washington. He falls down at
43:30
the Utah two and a half yard line. Second down,
43:32
a goal coming up, and they're not gonna huddle up.
43:35
They're gonna go with tempo here Will Baylor not letting
43:37
Utah substitute here. Second down and goal with the Utah
43:40
two and a half. Robertson again, hands to Washington again.
43:44
Speaker 3: Stacked up.
43:44
Speaker 2: This time he'll lose a yard maybe two, back to
43:47
the four yard line. It'll be third down in Gold anytime.
43:51
Levanni de Mooney led the way for Utah.
43:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, Utah was just you know, it was just sold
43:55
out on the run right there. But you know, Baylor
44:00
just had no one for no answer for what Utah
44:03
was doing.
44:03
Speaker 2: So a big call here on third down and goal,
44:06
almost back to the five yard line. What will they do?
44:08
It's going to be a pass. You know they won't
44:10
run it from here. Robertson in the shotgun, Michael Turner
44:14
next to him, Utah showing pressure. How much will they
44:20
bring hand off straight ahead to the end zone? Not
44:26
there down at the half yard line? Is Michael Turner
44:30
is going to be fourth down and goal from the
44:31
half yard line for Baylor and they'll keep the offense
44:34
on the field here on fourth down and goal.
44:37
Speaker 5: That was just a great tackle there by Utah. Oh
44:39
so close. That was Tao Johnson And.
44:44
Speaker 2: I'm really surprised Baylor ran that ball, but so was Utah.
44:48
Yeah he almost got in fourth down and half a
44:50
yard here. Jumbo package in Robertson out of the gun,
44:56
Bryce in Washington next to him on fourth and goal.
45:01
Speaker 1: Brings a man in motion.
45:04
Speaker 2: Collapse play action throw to the outside, caught touchdown Josh Cameron.
45:11
They ran a little pick ground for the outside. Scott
45:13
Cameron got himself free, and that's a Baylor touchdown.
45:17
Speaker 5: Yes, a great effort there by Utah to try to
45:20
stop it, but you know, you call that press man.
45:22
You're gonna get those situations and you just gotta I
45:25
gotta stick to the guys.
45:30
Speaker 2: So the first touchdown for the Baylor Bears are a
45:32
good answer for the Baylor Bears. After Utah scored on
45:36
a pick six pat coming up here momentarily for Connor Hawkins,
45:40
who's missed a field goal already Here tonight, twelve minutes
45:44
to play here in the first half, fourteen to six,
45:46
soon to be fourteen to seven. Kick is up, and
45:51
the kick is good, and we've got a time.
45:52
Speaker 1: Out on the field.
45:54
Speaker 2: That scoring drive eight plays seventy five yards, three to
45:57
eleven off the game clock, and Baylor gets on the
45:59
board the first time tonight. Tonight's game brought to you
46:02
by Slackwater Pizza light up all over the valley from
46:06
harrim Into Downtown to Ogden to Provo and Sandy to Slackwater.
46:10
Speaker 1: Great food and vibes for the entire family.
46:12
Speaker 2: Well the Big O Tires broadcast booth at Utah Football
46:15
from ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network.
46:20
Well minutes to play here in the first Baylor's made
46:22
it a game. It's fourteen to seven. Good drive, good
46:25
answer by the Bears. Our first half tonight being brought
46:27
to you by Smiths and Pepsi. Pepsi was made for
46:30
huge watching you all your Pepsi products all year long
46:33
at Smiths. They haven't seen the Utah offense in a minute,
46:36
s guy, we'll see. If the thinking home like they
46:37
didn't have that last scoring drive.
46:39
Speaker 5: Then I would expect them to do more of that,
46:41
you know, running straight ahead. That last sequence for Baylor, though,
46:45
it was interesting running the ball down the field. They
46:47
they had two big plays to pass and the big run,
46:50
but it was it was the formation for Utah and
46:52
defense and a little bit vulnerable. You guys got to
46:55
get in the right spot or there's going to be
46:56
some creases there. See if Morgan stays with that or
46:59
changes it upright. But these are those chess masters.
47:02
Speaker 3: I think some of these things are a little different
47:03
looks than they Both these teams.
47:05
Speaker 2: Have expected Glover back deep to receive this kick. If
47:08
we get a return. It's returns on kicks have been
47:11
just so infrequent anymore. But we'll see what happens here.
47:16
Palmer Williams and handles the punting will do the place
47:18
kicking on kickoffs here for the Baylor Bears as well.
47:20
Fourteen to seven Utah, twelve minutes to play first half
47:24
here at McLain Stadium in Waco. High and end over
47:26
and kick angling toward the side and out the back
47:29
of the end zone. It goes and Devin Dan Pierre
47:32
and Utah will begin first and ten at the twenty
47:35
five yard line. A good drive last time for Utah.
47:39
They did a great job of mixing run and pass.
47:41
We'll see if they do the same right here.
47:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know, sometimes when you haven't been on
47:46
the field a lot, you can get out of your rhythm.
47:48
But the best remedy for that is that just running
47:51
straight ahead, which works so well. So see if Baylor
47:55
makes any attempts, it doesn't look like it just by
47:56
their alignment on defense to stop this.
47:58
Speaker 2: Or wildcat is was Sean Parker Right now, They're gonna
48:02
bring Devin in motion and Wyshan's gonna keep it off
48:05
the left hand side, and he's spun out of bounds
48:09
after about a three yard game out near the twenty
48:11
eight yard light. It was actually burd Fickland, who was
48:13
in the ball game, split wide out to the left
48:15
hand side. A little altercation there on the sideline. They're
48:18
gonna give it about the twenty nine yard line. Do
48:20
we have a flag on the play, Look.
48:21
Speaker 3: Like there was.
48:22
Speaker 5: It's hard to see what some extracurricular stuff, but there's Oh,
48:26
it's a block in the back by the by the Yeah,
48:29
it's gonna be a personal foul against Utah.
48:31
Speaker 2: Well that's not good. Let's wait from Kevin Mar's call here.
48:35
It was right in that Utah sideline.
48:37
Speaker 8: There is no foul on the play.
48:40
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's a break. It's a five yard game
48:42
after the thirty yard line. There was some extra curricular
48:44
stuff there. I think they decided against it. Parker, the
48:47
tailback stays in the ballgame. Utah flex's JJ Buchanan Lander
48:51
Barton out right now, so's Ryan Davis Devon back of
48:55
the ball game at tailbird quarterback hands to was Sean,
48:58
makes one man miss. Now another breaks and tackle and
49:01
gets out to about the thirty three yard line for
49:03
a game of three yards third down and short coming
49:05
up here. Utah's had a whole lot more success got
49:09
running straight ahead than they have sideline to SI had tonight.
49:12
Speaker 5: Baylor's about ready for a big post route though over
49:14
the top, because those safeties have been playing back and
49:17
they're kind of in a four across shell look, and
49:20
those safeties are now really flying down in the line
49:22
of scrimmage, which play action post.
49:25
Speaker 3: Route here in a few minutes might be a good call.
49:27
Speaker 2: You taw two out of four on third down, Bird
49:29
Fickland in the ball game. Here on third down and
49:31
two from they're own thirty three, Bird by himself.
49:37
Speaker 3: In the backfield.
49:38
Speaker 1: Now they're gonna bring a man in motion across the formation.
49:40
Bird's gonna keep it. He's through a whole forty there,
49:43
he goes fifty forty five, forty thirty five thirty.
49:46
Speaker 10: It's a foot race. Damn, they're not gonna get him.
49:49
It's a touchdown for Bird Vicklin water run by Fickland.
50:00
He's seven yards, he broke through the line and nobody
50:03
touched him for a Utah touchdown.
50:06
Speaker 3: So that's what I'm talking about. You have two quarterbacks.
50:08
Speaker 5: You got two quarterbacks now, and that was but bird
50:11
Man he had like a turbo gear. It's like he
50:13
pushed the turbo about the twenty and kicked in the
50:16
great gear for a great job of making that guy
50:18
miss though, gives him a stiff arm, and then there's
50:20
nobody there.
50:22
Speaker 3: Excellent call.
50:22
Speaker 5: You have to wonder if maybe that some of that
50:24
stuff or Devin isn't quite one hundred percent yet, because
50:28
Bird got the number right there, and boy, he really
50:30
took advantage of it.
50:31
Speaker 2: I don't care if Devon's one hundred percent, he's not
50:34
running like broke. Pickland right there, easy scoring drive for
50:37
Dave spatafor three plays, seventy five yards, Pickland sixty seven yards.
50:42
Speaker 1: That'll be Birds.
50:43
Speaker 3: What do we have?
50:44
Speaker 2: Six rushing touchdown on the season and Utah leaves it
50:48
twenty one to seven with ten forty seven to play
50:50
that touchdown of pepsi touchdown time out on the field.
50:53
We're back to WAYO after this at Judulf Football from
50:56
ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network. Night's
50:59
broadcast as being brought to you by bud Light. Easy
51:02
to drink it, easy to enjoy. I'll tell you what's
51:03
easy to enjoy. Bird Fickland and the open field. Sly
51:06
you were field side for that, what did you.
51:08
Speaker 7: See absolutely great.
51:10
Speaker 6: Scott talking at in the pregame as a defense, you
51:13
gotta understand.
51:13
Speaker 7: How do you defend wildcat?
51:15
Speaker 3: Right?
51:15
Speaker 6: It's mostly zero coverage. Zero coverage is terrible if the
51:19
running back gets to that third level because there's nobody
51:21
at the third level and zero coverage, that's what happens.
51:24
Perfect blocking up Perfickland speed to the end zone.
51:28
Speaker 7: Baby, looks good for.
51:29
Speaker 1: The sideline report brought to you by Ken Garf.
51:32
Speaker 3: We hear you.
51:33
Speaker 2: I guess we should have never questioned Scott Mitchell in
51:36
the pregame show and his love.
51:37
Speaker 1: Of two, although I don't Devin wasn't on the field.
51:40
Speaker 2: That was just one quarterback on the field. That wasn't
51:43
two on the field that time.
51:44
Speaker 3: Just one.
51:45
Speaker 1: Well, I'm all for either one of those guys being out.
51:48
Speaker 5: Especially it's almost like Utah doesn't have a designated quarterback.
51:52
That's it's kind of like they just got playmakers and
51:55
they got a couple of guys that can throw the ball.
51:58
Speaker 1: Well, looks like, well it's working.
52:00
Speaker 2: Cole Wilson back to receive this kick, Dylan Curtis puts
52:05
his right foot into it. This one's returnable if Wilson
52:07
wants to and he will from the goal line. Cole
52:09
Wilson brings it out. Cole Wilson is knocked down. Excellence,
52:13
excellent work that time, Cole see who made that tackle.
52:19
It was Matakielu for Utah. We haven't called his name
52:24
much this year's been mostly special teams. But he got
52:26
Cole Wilson down at the twenty. It'll be an eighty
52:28
yard field here for Sawyer, Robertson and Baylor who had
52:31
a good drive last time, Scott.
52:32
Speaker 5: They had a great drive and it was all about
52:33
big plays. You know, they haven't had big plays yet
52:36
and the big plays has turned into into points.
52:40
Speaker 2: Freshman Kate Knighton will be your tailback. He'll be in
52:43
the backfield with Sawyer Robertson. Robertson with two receivers right
52:47
one to the left hand side, tight end to the
52:48
near left slot. Here on first and ten from their
52:50
own twenty yard line, hand off knight and straight ahead.
52:54
Speaker 1: He burrows his head. He gets to about the twenty three.
52:57
Speaker 2: There was a big hole if he could keep his
52:58
feet John who Hall made the tackle.
53:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little different look.
53:03
Speaker 5: It's a three down line look almost well they got
53:05
they have four linemen right there in the in the package.
53:09
Speaker 3: But that straight ahead run has worked well for Baylor.
53:13
Speaker 2: Matthew Klopfenstein the tight end of the ball game. Now
53:16
on second down in seven for the twenty three yard line,
53:19
Robertson surveys the defense, takes the snap and back pedals,
53:22
looks out to his right, throws it through the hands
53:24
of Kloppenstein. He's only got four catches this year. He
53:27
is not Michael Trigg. And you can see it on
53:29
that play third down coming up again.
53:32
Speaker 5: It's about putting it right on a tight end and
53:34
leading a wide receiver, and they just those tight ends
53:37
just don't they have a plotting gear.
53:39
Speaker 2: You know, you just got Baylor won for six on
53:43
third down. They face a third down in seven from
53:45
their own twenty three Utah. Look at it the sideline. Now,
53:49
the quick snap it we'll get the pass to the outside.
53:51
Ball is complete to the outside. That's gonna be first
53:54
down yardage. All by himself on this near sideline was
53:58
Ashton Hawkins finally forced out by Saunders.
54:00
Speaker 3: There was nobody in the neighborhood.
54:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Saunders and Scooby Davis kind of had
54:05
a mix up on who they were covering right there.
54:07
Speaker 9: Lait a minute, there's a flag shift offense number thirty four,
54:11
number one moving at the same time.
54:13
Speaker 8: Five yard penalty. Repeat, third down.
54:15
Speaker 2: Never good when you're tied end and wide receiver and
54:18
moving at the same time. That'll wipe out the first
54:20
down and back it up. They get third down and
54:21
twelve now back of the eighteen yard line.
54:23
Speaker 5: It certainly seemed quick because Utah was just smelling around
54:26
looking at Morgan for a call, and all of a
54:27
sudden they snapped the ball.
54:28
Speaker 1: I think he did it on purpose. He just didn't
54:30
have his guys set.
54:31
Speaker 2: So third down in thirteen now all the way back
54:33
of the eighteen yard line for roberts into the Bears.
54:36
Utah with four down lineman, they'll show five up near
54:39
the line of scrimmage. Now Robertson checks, now checks again,
54:43
and here comes the pressure off the edge. He's gonna
54:45
be hit as he throws incomplete. Ah, they belted in
54:49
John new Hall coming off the edge on the linebacker.
54:52
Speaker 1: Blitz got him and got him good.
54:53
Speaker 2: It goes in complete and the Utah defense brings pressure,
54:57
doesn't sack him, but was awfully close.
54:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, that half a second. They just barely got to him.
55:01
Of course, made the throw bad right there. They got
55:04
him right there and the ball got tipped right there.
55:07
But he just keep you just keep the pressure on
55:09
and and you're eventually gonna make a big play right there,
55:12
which is what happened. Of course, Bandler's got to hold
55:14
the ball a little bit longer because it's third and long.
55:16
But just great, great effort there by John.
55:19
Speaker 2: Monald Carvolo will stand at his own thirty six Palmer
55:22
Williams will pump from inside his five yard line. See
55:25
if Utah sets up a return here for car Volume,
55:31
flags fly and maybe a delay of game. I don't
55:34
think they got the snap off in time unless I
55:36
got a time out.
55:40
Speaker 9: Gave puffense five yard penalties Main's fourth down.
55:45
Speaker 2: So now Williams will be punting from inside of his
55:47
five close to the goal line, and that benefits Utah.
55:50
He's good at hanging that ball high. He's also got
55:53
a terrific leg too. But Carvolo, if he has a
55:55
chance to return it, has been outstanding. Leads the big
55:57
twelve and punt returning coming in this week. Two yards
56:01
deep of the end zone for Williams. Carvolo steps up
56:04
to his own thirty seven No pressure on the kicker.
56:12
It's a high kick. It's returnable if car Volo wants to,
56:15
and he will from the thirty six yard line up
56:17
the field, he goes loses and now dropped at about
56:21
the thirty seven yard line.
56:22
Speaker 1: He almost broke out of that pack.
56:25
Speaker 2: Fifty yard punt, no return, and Utah will take over
56:28
with really good field position here, leading twenty one to
56:30
seven with nine thirty two to play here in the
56:32
first half.
56:33
Speaker 3: Man who ran into his own guy?
56:35
Speaker 5: Guy was his guy was the best blocker or the
56:39
defender on the play that's ran right into him? Uh,
56:43
could have been a big play. Get out of the way,
56:45
go block someone, don't hit me.
56:48
Speaker 2: I think it's the best starting field position tonight for
56:50
Utah so far, their own thirty seven yard line, leading
56:54
twenty one to seven here, nine thirty two to play
56:56
in the first half. Nacari Rodgers will be the tailback
56:59
for Utah. You know whose name we haven't called yet tonight, Ryan.
57:01
Speaker 3: Davis, No, we haven't.
57:03
Speaker 2: Devin dan Pier is only three of seven passing right now.
57:07
Reverse They've got the ball to Daniel Bray. Daniel Bray
57:10
trying to work his way up the field does Now
57:13
he's going to try and reverse it and he's gonna
57:15
lose yardage. Daniel, you can't do that, young man. Back
57:18
to the thirty five yard line. He had a three
57:21
yard game, Scott and then he ran backwards. Yeah, you
57:25
can get away with that at Crowley North High School
57:27
in Fort Worth, not in the big twelve.
57:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's hard when you're really fast like that.
57:31
You sometimes kind of lose on the play there. And
57:33
he's gonna spun all around even know where he is.
57:36
Run the ball straight ahead. Quit trying to get out
57:39
on the edge. I mean, none of the edge plays
57:40
have really worked well for Utah.
57:42
Speaker 1: They have it at all.
57:43
Speaker 2: So now second down in twelve for Utah, back of
57:46
the thirty six yard line. Way Shawn Parker going to
57:49
be the tailback for Utah. Daniel Brace split out, Ryan
57:53
Davis split out as well, dam Pierre in the shotgun
57:58
Dallan Bentley and h back Blake. Clock has expired. Did
58:02
Utah get a time out before they expired? I think
58:06
Kyle Whittingham got it. We'll see, yep, they did. They
58:09
got the time out.
58:10
Speaker 9: Part of the point clocker expiring. Utah has called the
58:13
first time out.
58:17
Speaker 5: You know, analytics sometimes tells you that it's better to
58:21
take the five yard penalty. It's the timeout is so
58:23
much more valuable than five yards in a game.
58:25
Speaker 2: I think if it was second and seven instead of
58:28
second and twelve times.
58:29
Speaker 3: It's the circumstances.
58:30
Speaker 5: But very you know, very rarely again, those are those
58:35
analytics that they study. It's you just don't get the
58:39
same return to save five yards and you know, to
58:42
have an extra time out at the end of the
58:44
half or the end of the game.
58:45
Speaker 2: Devin dam Pier three of seven fifty three yards in
58:48
a touchdown. But Utah's rushing numbers have been terrific. They've
58:51
got one hundred and sixteen yards rushing here. The first half.
58:54
They trailed Baylor in total yardage three to one sixty nine.
58:58
Baylor only had the one really good drive. Utah's defense
59:01
has been pretty stingy here the first half.
59:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know Devon wants to be you know,
59:09
another completion right here, play action pass, throw a deep
59:11
post over the middle of those safeties. Now are really
59:14
starting to creep up on that run.
59:17
Speaker 1: Lander Barton in the right slot.
59:19
Speaker 2: JJ buchanans split wide to the right hand side, Dallan
59:22
Bentley and Ryan Davis on the left hand side, tail
59:28
back Daniel Bray. They motioned him out of the backfield.
59:31
Now they bring him back in again. He's looking over
59:33
the middle. He's got a man down the middle.
59:35
Speaker 3: Oh, he missed him.
59:36
Speaker 2: He had Dallan Bentley running three down to see, but
59:38
he threw it too high.
59:39
Speaker 1: Incomplete, third down and twelve coming up.
59:41
Speaker 3: See and I like to play though. I mean those
59:43
safeties getting a little bit nosy right there. You know,
59:47
Devon's just got a guy kind of gotten away just
59:50
a little maybe affected the throw, but you got to
59:53
hit that one.
59:53
Speaker 2: You gotta hitting that one instead. Now it's third down.
59:56
You talk three out of five on third down, third
59:59
long here though, third down to twelve. Got to get
1:00:02
out of the forty eighth for a first down. Nacari
1:00:06
Rodgers of the backfield. Baylor's showing some pressure up front.
1:00:10
They bring five now outside. The ball is thrown and
1:00:13
it's incomplete. And that was never gonna be complete. The
1:00:17
bad row, bad read bad everything with pressure in his
1:00:19
face for Devin Dan Pierre trying to get into JJ
1:00:22
Buchanan in a three and out here for Utah Scott.
1:00:26
When you lose on first down, it just sets you
1:00:29
way behind.
1:00:30
Speaker 1: And that's what happened to Utah.
1:00:31
Speaker 2: Instead of running straight forward, they ran side to side,
1:00:34
lost yardage and never could make it up.
1:00:37
Speaker 5: And you know, you can't overthink yourself, you know, make
1:00:41
them stop the run before you stop it yourself.
1:00:44
Speaker 3: Just just keep running it until they say no.
1:00:46
Speaker 2: Ryan Phillips out to punt here for the pressure on him,
1:00:50
he gets that kick away. It's a high hanging kicks,
1:00:53
a little short camera's gonna fair catch him and about
1:00:56
his own twenty one yard line. Take that all the
1:00:59
time with Yoush Cameron, one of the best punt returners
1:01:01
in the Big twelve and the country. Time out on
1:01:04
the field thirty six yard punt, making a forty three.
1:01:06
Speaker 1: Yard punt and no return for.
1:01:09
Speaker 2: The time out on the field in eighty seventeen to

1:01:47
the ones and the twos. Sly on the sideline. Glad
1:01:50
to be bringing the Utah football tonight. They lead at
1:01:52
twenty one to seven. I gotta say, I think this
1:01:56
is Baylor's fifth or sixth possession tonight, Dave, that's six.
1:02:00
What number of possessions is this for Baylor?
1:02:03
Speaker 1: Six? I think it might be six.
1:02:06
Speaker 2: They've had it a bunch their seventh possession already tonight
1:02:11
first intended, They're on twenty one yard line. Sawyer Robertson
1:02:14
in the shotgut. He's going to play action, take a
1:02:15
shot down. He's got a man wide open down the field,
1:02:18
and it's caught at the Utah forty still on his
1:02:21
feet and down at the Utah.
1:02:22
Speaker 3: He's still on his feet.
1:02:23
Speaker 7: Look out, twenty fifteen out.
1:02:26
Speaker 2: Of bounds goes Cole Wilson, poor tackling poor coverage and
1:02:31
a gigantic play for the Baylor Bears, and they're set
1:02:34
up in the red zone on the Utah defense.
1:02:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's just an inside fade Smith Snowden fell
1:02:40
down and then he fell down on the tackle.
1:02:42
Speaker 3: He's usually pretty good at those.
1:02:45
Speaker 2: First intent at the Utah fifteen yard line here for
1:02:48
the Baylor Bears.
1:02:50
Speaker 1: That pass was sixty three yards.
1:02:52
Speaker 2: They handed off straight up the middle of Michael Turner
1:02:54
and he's not going anywhere. Stacked in the line of
1:02:56
scrimmage for no game. Robertson's not been great tonight, but
1:03:00
he's hit on two huge pass plays and they're set
1:03:04
up here in the red zone now, second down in ten.
1:03:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've been kind of that same look off the
1:03:09
it's just a slot fade and inside fade and Smith
1:03:13
just again, you gotta get hands on these receivers or
1:03:17
your dear dead.
1:03:19
Speaker 1: Second and ten from the Utah fifteen.
1:03:20
Speaker 2: They're gonna bring the man in motion that's Cole Wilson
1:03:23
into the backfield. He goes, They throw the flankers screen
1:03:25
to him to the outside. He's got the ten and
1:03:28
rode out of bounds in about the nine yard line.
1:03:30
Speaker 1: Cole Wilson.
1:03:31
Speaker 2: You're gonna givehim the eight yard line for a game
1:03:33
of seven, third down and three coming up.
1:03:35
Speaker 1: You could see that play coming a mile away.
1:03:37
Speaker 3: Yeh.
1:03:37
Speaker 5: Smith's got to run all the way across the field
1:03:39
and then the outside guy blocks him. Those dvs have
1:03:42
to see that, and they they've got to turn the
1:03:45
play back inside.
1:03:46
Speaker 2: We're down in three at the Utah eight yard line
1:03:49
for Sawyer Robertson of the Baylor Bears six forty five
1:03:52
o'clock running to play here the first half twenty one seven,
1:03:55
Utah writes in Washington the tailback. They're gonna added the Washington.
1:04:00
He's got the five and driven back right there. But
1:04:04
that's gonna be good for first down yard. He's going
1:04:06
to be first down and goal Baylor at the Utah five.
1:04:10
There was a big hole. Initially Utah filled it, but
1:04:12
not before he picked up the three yards he needed
1:04:15
and it's now first down in goal.
1:04:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:04:17
Speaker 5: Utah didn't seem quite set to the line of scrimmage,
1:04:20
weren't sure where they needed to be, and they just
1:04:21
weren't in the right position.
1:04:23
Speaker 1: This is where they.
1:04:24
Speaker 2: Threw that kind of pickplay. Flankers screen a few minutes
1:04:27
ago for a touchdown. They've got two receivers split to
1:04:30
the left hand side, including Michael Trigg. The tight end
1:04:32
two to the right hand side tailback is Bryce in
1:04:35
Washington Robertson in the gun. First and goal from the
1:04:38
Utah five play action pass Robertson looking back of the
1:04:42
end zone up and incomplete that one. Never had a chance.
1:04:46
He was trying to get that ball to Ashton Hawkins,
1:04:48
but he was well covered.
1:04:49
Speaker 1: Second of goal now.
1:04:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the plays that have worked is when they
1:04:52
bring a guy across in motion and Utah is not
1:04:56
switching off and they're getting caught in those pick routes.
1:04:58
And that's the thing that's really really hurt Utah down here.
1:05:01
Wouldn't be surprised to see that again.
1:05:03
Speaker 2: Jackson Benny is shadowing Michael Trigg wherever he goes. Second
1:05:06
down in goal now, Bryce and Washington stays in. Two
1:05:09
receivers left, two receivers right for Sawyer Robertson, who brings
1:05:14
Cole Wilson in motion. They handed off to Bryson Washington
1:05:17
and he is going nowhere. He'll lose the yard back
1:05:20
to the six yard line.
1:05:21
Speaker 1: Third down and goal coming up.
1:05:23
Speaker 2: Tackled by Levannie de Mooney, who's had a good game
1:05:25
tonight for Utah.
1:05:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that same look where they scored the touchdown
1:05:30
on the pick pass, and this time they decided to
1:05:33
run it.
1:05:33
Speaker 2: Utah was there, so third down in goal now Baylor
1:05:38
two out of seven on third down, two receivers left,
1:05:42
two receivers right again. If bryceon Washington is the tailback,
1:05:46
they spread the formation Utah with five of the line
1:05:48
of scrimmage. Robertson's gonna change the play now as he
1:05:51
steps forward now back pedals into the shotgun.
1:05:56
Speaker 1: He'll take the.
1:05:57
Speaker 2: Snap and roll to his left hand side, pressure coming
1:05:59
as he throws to the back of the end zone.
1:06:00
Speaker 1: It didn't complete.
1:06:03
Speaker 2: Never really gave his receiver a chance on that play
1:06:05
and it goes incomplete. He was trying to get that
1:06:09
to Jaden Portery, relatively little used wide receiver. That'll bring
1:06:13
the field goal team out and this will be a
1:06:16
minor win for the Utah defense after giving up that
1:06:18
sixty three yard pass.
1:06:20
Speaker 5: That's a huge win right there. I mean, you have
1:06:21
first and goal on the five yard line and they
1:06:23
don't go anywhere but backwards.
1:06:25
Speaker 3: That's that's a that's a statement right there, COTR.
1:06:28
Speaker 2: Hawkins, who's missed one tonight. He missed from about forty
1:06:31
two yards. This one is only a twenty three yard
1:06:34
field goal from inside the right hash Utahs blocks them
1:06:38
this year. They blocked one last year, and this one
1:06:40
is up and it's good five h one to play
1:06:44
here in the first half, Hawkins knocks won through for
1:06:47
twenty three yards and Baylor back within eleven twenty one
1:06:51
to ten, scoring drive eight plays seventy three yards and
1:06:56
three sixteen off the game plot. But again a minor
1:06:59
win to Utah defense right there. Defense brought to you
1:07:02
by our friends at Doe Terra, the official essential oils
1:07:05
partner of Utah football. So, yeah, you give up the
1:07:09
big play, but then you stand up in the red
1:07:11
zone win accounts Scott.
1:07:12
Speaker 3: Yeah. And and really Smith Snoden kind of fell down
1:07:15
on that play because normally he's at least making a
1:07:18
play on the ball there and just just kind of
1:07:21
got out of position. But a great recovery by that defense,
1:07:24
you know, just to keep fighting there in that situation.
1:07:26
Speaker 2: Here's what can't happen now though you can't have another
1:07:28
three and out of here. You gotta have a nice
1:07:30
it's five to zho one to play. You're gonna get
1:07:31
the ball coming out of the locker room if you
1:07:33
can go down the field and get points of any
1:07:35
kind here for Utah, it's a good successful end of
1:07:38
the half.
1:07:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and really you can fill this offense isn't
1:07:42
quite in rhythm here for whatever reason, they haven't had
1:07:44
a lot of chances. You know, they've scored quickly and
1:07:47
done a lot you know the play with Daniel brick
1:07:50
or I mean Bert Fickland. So it's about go back
1:07:52
to basics. Run the ball, run the ball straight down
1:07:55
the field and get back in that rhythm.
1:07:58
Speaker 1: Ray Sean Glover back deep to receive this kick from
1:08:00
Pomer Williams high.
1:08:02
Speaker 2: And end over end, and it will not be returned.
1:08:05
Kyle Whittingham told me this week of the Coach the Show.
1:08:07
He said, if it's beyond the goal line and we're
1:08:12
back pedaling, we're not bringing it out. Yeah, he said,
1:08:14
a bit short of the goal line, we'll return it.
1:08:17
Twenty five yard line, seventy five yard field here. For Devin,
1:08:21
Devin has been unbalanced tonight, Scott. He hasn't looked like
1:08:25
he looked in the last game when we saw him
1:08:27
againt Cincinnati.
1:08:28
Speaker 5: No, he's he's that kind of he's too comfortable sitting
1:08:34
in the pocket and that's not where he's he's at
1:08:36
his best.
1:08:37
Speaker 2: First and ten, Devon motions, Daniel Bray out of the backfield.
1:08:41
Just a four man rush here and he'll pass on
1:08:43
first down over the middle, and is it caught?
1:08:47
Speaker 3: It is?
1:08:47
Speaker 2: Wow, nice catch over the middle by JJ Buchanan.
1:08:51
Speaker 5: Well that's a great catch. And that's a second window
1:08:53
throw on a quick route and that's that's tough, right.
1:08:55
Speaker 1: N That was an eleven yard game after the thirty
1:08:57
six yard line.
1:08:58
Speaker 3: It's a great, great catch there.
1:09:00
Speaker 1: Out just where a Buchanan could get it too.
1:09:02
Speaker 2: Way Shawn Parker checks in first down run straight ahead Parker,
1:09:05
second level.
1:09:05
Speaker 1: He's forty five to fifty, he's in the open field.
1:09:08
Speaker 10: He's gonna go twenty ten to five touchdown, way Sean Parker.
1:09:16
Speaker 3: Man, those are the ones you love. You know, he
1:09:18
didn't get touched.
1:09:19
Speaker 5: He made one cut and I don't know they they
1:09:22
messed up or something right there, because that's just way
1:09:24
too easy.
1:09:25
Speaker 3: I mean, there's nobody there.
1:09:26
Speaker 2: A sixty four yard touchdown run for way Sean Parker
1:09:30
a second week in a row where he's had a.
1:09:32
Speaker 3: Big time run.
1:09:34
Speaker 1: Scott untouched.
1:09:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody touched it. That was insane right there.
1:09:38
Speaker 5: In fact, the only one who might touch him was
1:09:39
the back judge, and it almost looked like he wanted
1:09:42
to step up and tax us, like, get out of
1:09:44
the way. I'm trying to run a touchdown here, Get
1:09:46
out of my highlight.
1:09:47
Speaker 2: Parker's now got nine carries for ninety five yards, sixty
1:09:51
four yards right up the gut and untouched, and Utah's
1:09:55
now run for one hundred and eighty yards here of
1:09:57
the first half pat by Dylan Curtis.
1:09:59
Speaker 3: Up and good.
1:09:59
Speaker 2: That Pepsi touchdown brought to you by the official soft
1:10:02
drink sponsor of Utah Football, Pepsi for twenty eight to
1:10:06
play here the first half. That's an easy drive for
1:10:09
Dave spatafor two plays, seventy five yards and thirty three
1:10:12
seconds off the play clock.
1:10:15
Speaker 5: I mean, it's really good, right, and it's great stuff,
1:10:18
and you would love to have it way too easy
1:10:22
to have happened, for sure, but kind of hard to
1:10:24
still get in a rhythm as an offense.
1:10:26
Speaker 2: Hes Utah doesn't have a lot of explosive plays in
1:10:30
the past game, right, but they got a ton of
1:10:32
them in the run game. B Big Flin's got himself
1:10:35
a sixty seven yard touchdown run, and now way Sean
1:10:39
Parker's got himself a sixty four yard touchdown run.
1:10:42
Speaker 5: It's so strange because you just don't see guys just
1:10:46
getting you know, just running untouched, you know, down the field,
1:10:51
especially right through the middle of the line. I mean,
1:10:53
it just it just I don't know they were out
1:10:55
of alignment. Someone messed up because you just don't you
1:10:57
don't see that.
1:10:58
Speaker 2: Scott, here's a good spat stat for you. Utah has
1:11:00
four touchdowns they haven't.
1:11:02
Speaker 1: Been in the none of them are from the red zone.
1:11:04
Speaker 5: See that hurts your red zone efficiency right there. It's
1:11:06
gonna get all messed up. I mean, you'll take them
1:11:08
all day long.
1:11:09
Speaker 2: You're up twenty eight ten, but you haven't had a
1:11:11
touchdown of the red zone yet.
1:11:13
Speaker 3: And those are backbreakers for a defense and just a team.
1:11:16
Speaker 5: You know, it's Baylor's on the verge of like, let's
1:11:20
just get the season over and those things kind of
1:11:22
help you get there.
1:11:22
Speaker 2: Returnable kick from the one yard line for Cole Wilson
1:11:25
Let's see if the Utah special teams can wrap him
1:11:27
up and they do just shy the twenty five yard line.
1:11:31
Wilson drawn backwards, had a twenty three yard return for
1:11:34
him to the twenty four yard line. And tell you what,
1:11:37
Utah's got two time outs lefts got four eighteen. If
1:11:41
they come up with a defensive stand here, they could
1:11:43
get the ball back again before halftime.
1:11:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, this can be a backbreaking time in this game
1:11:48
right here. You just have to know that Baylor they're
1:11:51
gonna take those shots when you get press man and
1:11:53
you got to you gotta stay tight on those receivers
1:11:56
at least you know, make a play on the ball.
1:11:57
Speaker 2: Sawyer robertson nine of twenty two for a buck sixty five,
1:12:00
a pick, and a touchdown. Tonight came in completing sixty
1:12:06
two percent of his pass is just forty one percent.
1:12:09
Tonight first down hand off to Washington. He's in the
1:12:11
second level, He's in the secondary. Rice and Washington tripped
1:12:15
up at the Baylor forty nine yard line. They'll say
1:12:18
forty eight yard line a twenty four yard game. Utah
1:12:22
has been just atrocious at that second level.
1:12:25
Speaker 1: Scott tackling Tonight.
1:12:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's you know, oh Man just overplaying the
1:12:31
ball right there.
1:12:32
Speaker 2: First down, play action pass Robertson, ball tipped to the
1:12:35
line of scrimmage and incomplete. I think Logan Fano got
1:12:39
his hand to that, touched it on the outside, trying
1:12:41
to get that.
1:12:41
Speaker 1: Ball outside the Josh Cameron.
1:12:43
Speaker 2: We'll be second down now at about the forty eight
1:12:45
yard line.
1:12:46
Speaker 5: You know this this defense right now for Utah is
1:12:48
it's kind of feast or famine. It's just like it's
1:12:50
either a big player you just shut him down and
1:12:54
that you know, hopefully you get more and more big
1:12:55
plays than you do, or shut him down more than
1:12:58
the big plays.
1:12:59
Speaker 2: Taylor's out Utah here the first half with two hundred
1:13:01
and eighty one yards, second down and ten, play action
1:13:06
pass again, Robertson taking a shot again, Robert Oh, he
1:13:08
had a man so wide open and overshot. Cole Wilson
1:13:11
good and as gracious Cole Wilson ran right by Scooby Davis.
1:13:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:13:17
Speaker 5: I don't know what the deal is because these these
1:13:19
TVs are not getting jams on these guys. I don't
1:13:21
know if it's a double move, if what it is,
1:13:23
because these guys are just running down a field with
1:13:26
no one on them.
1:13:29
Speaker 1: Baylor two for eight.
1:13:30
Speaker 2: On third down, they face a third down in ten
1:13:32
at their own forty almost forty nine yard line. Here
1:13:35
will Utah bring pressure or play coverage behind their cup
1:13:38
creeping up showing pressure. Robertson claps his hands. Utah will
1:13:44
rush from the outside, throw complete the camera, and he'll
1:13:47
be short of the first down by about a yard.
1:13:52
He gets to the Utah forty two, it'll be fourth
1:13:54
down and one here, Baylor's gonna go quickly to the
1:13:56
line of scrimmage. Kate Knighton is the tailback. They're shuffling
1:13:59
personnel around now. Fourth down and a yard Baylor all
1:14:04
sorts of confused hand off night and Nighton is very
1:14:11
close and he'll get it. He needed a yard. He
1:14:13
got him out of yard and a half to the
1:14:15
Utah forty Jackson Betty made the tackle.
1:14:18
Speaker 3: Utah didn't feel like they were set.
1:14:20
Speaker 1: Up front right there. They only had four guys at
1:14:22
the line.
1:14:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels that way just in general, you know
1:14:25
that they're looking too.
1:14:26
Speaker 3: Much to the sideline.
1:14:28
Speaker 5: Guys aren't really being you know, aggressive and playing downhill.
1:14:33
Speaker 3: They're kind of catching a little.
1:14:34
Speaker 2: Bit Utah slow to substitute here. They have to hold
1:14:39
for those substitutions. Carson Kafusi off the field on first
1:14:42
down and ten for Baylor from the Utah forty yard line.
1:14:46
Robertson with Bryce in Washington, and he's gonna throw and
1:14:49
look to his left. Now he's gonna step up and
1:14:51
try to run and cash. Dylan's gonna wrap him up
1:14:54
and drop him behind the line of scrimmage.
1:14:56
Speaker 1: That'll be a sack for Dylan.
1:14:58
Speaker 2: That's the first sack of the all games for Utah,
1:15:00
seventeenth time this year, Sawyer. Robertson's been sacked second down
1:15:04
and twelve coming up.
1:15:05
Speaker 3: Everything's been like quick, you know, quick decisions, quick throws.
1:15:09
That one, that play just took a lot longer to
1:15:11
develop me. He just didn't have the time.
1:15:13
Speaker 2: From the Utah forty two second down in twelve, two
1:15:15
to fourteen in the clock, running to play could be
1:15:17
the final play before the two minute timeout. Robertson and
1:15:21
the gun Utah crowding the line of scrimmage down two
1:15:23
oh five, two oh four to two oh three. You'll
1:15:27
take the snap. Utah will bring the blitz right up
1:15:29
the middle, throw to the outside that's caught Cameron inside
1:15:31
the thirty and out of bounds of the Utah twenty
1:15:33
eight yard line. Now Mark Hm in the twenty nine.
1:15:36
That's an eleven yard gain and a first down. And
1:15:39
that takes this to the two minute time out. Here
1:15:41
with a minute fifty seven to play.
1:15:42
Speaker 3: Jaylor two minute time out down twenty eight ten.
1:15:47
Speaker 2: And this is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred and
1:15:49
the uthe Sports Radio Network Tension.
1:15:51
Speaker 4: Brought to you by Smith's on ESPN seven hundred and
1:15:54
the Ute Sports Network.
1:15:58
Speaker 2: The night's first half brought by Pepsi and Smith from
1:16:01
the Clayton Stadium.
1:16:02
Speaker 1: In Waco, Texas.
1:16:04
Speaker 2: Sun Is said, on a Saturday night, we're late in
1:16:06
the first half, minute fifty seven to play before halftime.
1:16:09
Bill Riley's got Mitchell, Stevenson, Sylvester and our entire crews.
1:16:12
You top twenty eight Baylor ten, but Baylor's out game.
1:16:16
U tap three to zero, three to two forty four
1:16:18
and they're moving again.
1:16:19
Speaker 3: Scott.
1:16:20
Speaker 2: They've got all three of their timeouts right now, and
1:16:23
the first and tend in the Utah twenty nine yard line.
1:16:26
Speaker 5: I think the thing that concerns me the most is
1:16:29
that a lot of these plays have been easy, like
1:16:31
that last play two for eleven yards. That was just
1:16:34
too easy. And again it's you slide was alluding to
1:16:39
this wide receiver's cameraon. I mean, it's just a really
1:16:41
really good.
1:16:41
Speaker 3: Route, not not great coverage.
1:16:44
Speaker 5: And that's one of the things Utah has been great
1:16:46
at is his secondary is just blanket and a lot
1:16:49
of people and you know, you want to say you're
1:16:53
winning right now, but man, it feels a little funny.
1:16:55
Speaker 1: And when you leave that total yard is you wouldn't
1:16:57
think that the score is ten.
1:17:02
Speaker 3: Oha.
1:17:02
Speaker 2: Utah has only thrown for sixty four yards. Tonight, first
1:17:06
and tent for Sawyer Robertson to the Bears for the
1:17:08
Utah twenty nine. He splits two receivers left, one to
1:17:11
the right hand side Michael Trigg to tight end in
1:17:15
the left slaughterer tailback Rice at Washington. Utah puts four
1:17:18
down at the line of scrimmage on first and tent.
1:17:23
Trig motions out Robertson looking to throw that flanker screen
1:17:27
and does complete to Josh Cameron, who's now got over
1:17:30
six hundred yards receiving on the year. He's there leading
1:17:33
wide receiver Trig is technically a tight end. That's a
1:17:36
two yard game to the twenty seven.
1:17:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, nice play there by the secondary for that minimal gain.
1:17:43
Speaker 2: Second down at eight o clock stopped. That have been
1:17:45
at fifty two to play before halftime. This time is
1:17:47
going to be a handoff to Washington and he's going
1:17:49
to be cut down after a two yard game to
1:17:51
the twenty five by Johnny Hall.
1:17:55
Speaker 5: A little interesting here by Baylor that you know, they've
1:17:57
been fairly conservative quick throw here.
1:18:00
Speaker 2: Now they're on third and long, third down and six,
1:18:03
and they're not very good on third down tonight they're
1:18:05
just two for nine, but they are two for two
1:18:07
on fourth down. Brice in Washington, states of the ball game.
1:18:11
Two receivers left, two receivers right. Robertson backs up into
1:18:16
the shotgun U Tak crowding the line of scrimmage. Now Robertson,
1:18:22
looking back pedals pressure coming, throws the fade to the outside.
1:18:25
Speaker 3: Again.
1:18:25
Speaker 2: Oh, you had a man open and missed through it.
1:18:27
He had Cole Wilson would have walked in the end zone.
1:18:30
But a terrible pass by Robertson brings up fourth.
1:18:33
Speaker 1: Down and six.
1:18:34
Speaker 2: Well, they kick the field door, keep the offense out
1:18:36
I think they're gonna keep the offense out there. Interesting
1:18:38
decision with a bit of eleven to play here.
1:18:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is you know, you got to look to
1:18:45
your guy right here that you're gonna throw. I mean,
1:18:47
you've got your two best guys over there on the
1:18:48
right side of the field. Some kind of combination route.
1:18:52
Here we go, fourth down. Baylor two for two on
1:18:54
fourth down tonight, fourth down.
1:18:57
Speaker 3: And six.
1:18:59
Speaker 2: U taking a rush here here they come pressure late
1:19:02
Robertson to throw throws that fade and overshoots his man.
1:19:05
It's nearly intercepted, but a smart move to let that ball.
1:19:09
Speaker 3: Go by Scooby Davis.
1:19:10
Speaker 2: Actually, Tao Johnson and Utah's gonna get the ball now,
1:19:13
Scott with two timeouts at a minute six to play
1:19:16
at their own twenty nine yard lines.
1:19:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, plenty of time nive yard line, you know, and
1:19:21
the way Utah is running the football in.
1:19:23
Speaker 3: The explosive plays.
1:19:24
Speaker 5: Wouldn't be too surprised to see him, to see him
1:19:27
running here, because they you know, the strength is not
1:19:29
sitting in the.
1:19:30
Speaker 3: Pocket and throwing well.
1:19:31
Speaker 2: Devin hasn't thrown it well tonight either. Four of ten
1:19:33
for sixty four yards. Way Shawn Parker is gonna be
1:19:37
your tailback. On his last touch, he went sixty four
1:19:40
untouched for a touchdown.
1:19:43
Speaker 1: First in ten Utah.
1:19:44
Speaker 2: I mean it's six to play before halftime from their
1:19:47
own twenty five hand off Parker, he's in the hole,
1:19:50
squirts out of that hole and out to the thirty
1:19:52
two yard line.
1:19:53
Speaker 1: He goes for a game of seven.
1:19:55
Speaker 2: Utah's gonna have to hustle now inside of a minute
1:19:57
to play fifty five fifty four three. They're gonna have
1:20:00
to go quicker than they're going right now inside a
1:20:04
fifty second second down in three damp here in the gun,
1:20:07
backpedals to throw lots of time, good pocket, clean pocket.
1:20:11
He's gonna have to scramble and look down the field.
1:20:13
He's gonna take a sack.
1:20:14
Speaker 11: Oh.
1:20:15
Speaker 3: The one thing he couldn't.
1:20:16
Speaker 1: Do, and he did all the way back in the
1:20:18
twenty two yard line, and that may sidetrack Utah's chance
1:20:23
is a time out taken here by Utah with thirty
1:20:25
seven seconds to play.
1:20:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why you'd want to call it
1:20:28
time out in this situation for the Utah. You know
1:20:31
you don't want to, you know.
1:20:33
Speaker 9: First short time out. Taylor thirty seconds.
1:20:38
Speaker 2: They actually marketed the twenty four yard line Scott he
1:20:41
had all day.
1:20:42
Speaker 1: The pocket was terrific.
1:20:43
Speaker 2: The offensive line did their job, and it almost looks
1:20:46
like right now Devin doesn't want to run the football
1:20:49
because there have been lanes and opportunities and he's chosen
1:20:52
not to run.
1:20:53
Speaker 5: And no, clearly he's not running the football here, and
1:20:56
that's that's where he's been so dynamic in the past.
1:21:00
You know where he's gotten those first downs. I mean,
1:21:02
it was it was a short situation.
1:21:04
Speaker 3: You've got to understand where you are and what's going
1:21:06
on right there, and it's.
1:21:08
Speaker 5: Not going to get better than it is. You know,
1:21:10
you sit in the pocket like see it, it's not there.
1:21:13
Speaker 3: You gotta go.
1:21:13
Speaker 5: You got to be very decisive, you know, you got
1:21:16
to make a very decisive move forward, throw the ball away,
1:21:20
run the ball, but don't ever ever take a sack.
1:21:24
Speaker 2: Third down and eleven Utah three out of six on
1:21:26
third down, Taylor's got two timeouts. Parker in the backfield,
1:21:35
damp Pear to throw Devin looking down the field.
1:21:37
Speaker 1: He's got a man open down the field.
1:21:39
Speaker 2: Larry Simmons incomplete. It was just a little bit underthrown
1:21:44
and the coverage on the play my DJ Coleman, and.
1:21:47
Speaker 1: He goes incomplete.
1:21:48
Speaker 2: With thirty seconds to play in Utah is going to
1:21:51
have to punt to the very dangerous Josh Cameron and Larry.
1:21:56
Speaker 5: He's got to come back even more for that ball.
1:21:58
I think if he does, he draws a pass interference there.
1:22:01
But you know the you know, the ball was so
1:22:05
poorly thrown right there, it's just you got to do
1:22:08
something otherwise it's just going to be an incompletion.
1:22:12
Speaker 2: A Ryan Phillips the punt. I wouldn't kick this one
1:22:14
anywhere near Josh Cameron. Phillips kick is high, it's way short.
1:22:20
Cameron's going to come up and take it and fare
1:22:22
catch it at the Baylor forty five yard line.
1:22:26
Speaker 1: A terribly short kick.
1:22:29
Speaker 2: Thirty one yards and Baylor probably only needs about fifteen.
1:22:33
Speaker 1: To twenty yards here.
1:22:34
Speaker 2: They've got two timeouts and twenty two seconds to get
1:22:38
in the field goal range of their placekicker Connor Hawkins
1:22:42
to get hit for fifty three yards.
1:22:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, easily that you know, they can use the whole field.
1:22:45
Speaker 5: They got two timeouts, They've got explosive players right here,
1:22:49
you know, just to give yourself a chance at a
1:22:51
field goal is a very doable thing.
1:22:53
Speaker 3: Here before the bat the half happens.
1:22:56
Speaker 2: From their own forty five first and ten. Two timeouts
1:22:59
remain here. For the Bail Bears, Sawyer Robertson operates out
1:23:02
of the shotgun, Bryson Washington in the backfield with him.
1:23:06
Robertson to pass four man rush for Utah. Lots of
1:23:08
time hit as he throws complete uh oh into the
1:23:12
open field, goes the wide receiver for the Baylor Bears.
1:23:15
He's got the thirty five thirty and out of bounds
1:23:17
and the twenty nine Ashton Hawkins. Utah tackling has been
1:23:21
atrocious again, and we've got a Utah player down behind
1:23:24
the play, one of the defensive linemen, and I hope
1:23:27
that's not John Henry Daily. He's down back at the
1:23:33
Utah may ge Baylor for the thirty nine yard line.
1:23:37
Speaker 1: Might be Jona lay All. We'll wait to see, but
1:23:41
he's down an in some pain. But the one thing
1:23:44
you couldn't let happen on that play happened twenty six
1:23:47
yards and then he let him get out of bounds
1:23:50
with ten seconds to play.
1:23:51
Speaker 2: So they've got two timeouts. They could run one more
1:23:54
play before they have to kick it to kick a
1:23:56
field goal. Le A is willing to walk out under
1:23:58
his own power.
1:24:00
Speaker 9: Tuck operator, piss out the game.
1:24:02
Speaker 2: Fuck the twelve seconds, twelve seconds, so they might be
1:24:05
able to run two plays well with the timeouts.
1:24:07
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and you know, it's almost a situation where we
1:24:11
can take a shot.
1:24:12
Speaker 3: Down the field.
1:24:13
Speaker 8: Operator the game fucker, thank you.
1:24:17
Speaker 1: Uh.
1:24:17
Speaker 5: You know, you can take a shot down the field
1:24:19
because even if you don't get in the end zone,
1:24:20
you still can call time out here if it's relatively quick.
1:24:23
Speaker 3: So he's still got a lot of options to do,
1:24:26
you know, to get even more than just a field goal.
1:24:29
Speaker 2: First intended to Utah twenty nine. Baylor was here just
1:24:32
a few moments ago and stopped on fourth down, four
1:24:38
man rush coming here for the US robertson to pass
1:24:41
pressure coming off the edge, he steps out of a sack.
1:24:44
He's looking down the field. He's got a man open
1:24:46
trig ten to five touchdown. That's actually Josh Cameron. An
1:24:52
absolutely disastrous final thirty seconds and a half for Utah.
1:24:59
They missed the sound and then they blow the coverage
1:25:03
on Cameron.
1:25:04
Speaker 1: That was Elijah.
1:25:05
Speaker 2: Davis and Cameron gets in the end zone, and the
1:25:09
Baylor Bears will go to the locker room feeling great,
1:25:12
only down at eleven instead of eighteen.
1:25:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you it's a big turnaround right there,
1:25:17
and a big momentum thing. But so much of this
1:25:19
is the is just the offense not being in sync,
1:25:22
not being in rhythm, and just not understanding the circumstances,
1:25:26
the situation of where they were.
1:25:28
Speaker 3: That sack was just a huge costly play for Utah
1:25:31
and that whole.
1:25:31
Speaker 1: Scenario there, that scoring drive with fifty two yards or
1:25:37
fifty five yards and two plays, the past to Hawkins
1:25:40
and the pass to Cameron, and with four seconds remaining
1:25:44
before half, the pat up and good.
1:25:49
Speaker 2: Sawyer Robertson is fourteen of thirty one, but he's got
1:25:53
two hundred and forty four yards in two touchdowns. Baylor
1:25:55
is out gaining Utah by one hundred and eighteen yards
1:26:00
here in the first half, but they're.
1:26:01
Speaker 3: Down by eleven.
1:26:03
Speaker 5: You know, I was talking about this before before the
1:26:06
game started, and how this team kind of takes on
1:26:09
the persona of its coach. You know, they just kind
1:26:11
of don't keep not giving up. You know, there's a
1:26:14
lot of situation. You know, Utah's up in twenty.
1:26:16
Speaker 3: Eight to ten.
1:26:17
Speaker 5: Looks like they're going to go into halftime with a
1:26:19
big lead here and now it's it's it's certainly shortened here.
1:26:23
Speaker 1: Still double digits, but still it should be.
1:26:25
Speaker 3: But it's a momentum. Yeah, you know, it's the.
1:26:28
Speaker 2: Only bit of good news is Utah will get the
1:26:30
football coming out of the locker room.
1:26:31
Speaker 1: But well, they got to figure a way to get
1:26:33
Devin damp Pierre on track.
1:26:34
Speaker 2: The offense of the running games look good, but damn
1:26:37
Pierre's quarterback running has been nonexistent and he's thrown it
1:26:41
poorly in the first half, four of eleven for sixty
1:26:43
four yards.
1:26:44
Speaker 3: Well, he's just he's held on at the ball too
1:26:46
long in the first half.
1:26:47
Speaker 5: Man, you gotta make quick decisions that just get you know,
1:26:50
And that was the problem early on in the year.
1:26:54
Speaker 2: Kick off is high and end over ends. It's Ray
1:26:56
Shawn Glove. We're going to try and bring it out.
1:26:57
Why wouldn't you It's final play of the head half instead,
1:27:02
and I know he would have.
1:27:03
Speaker 1: Been six yards deep.
1:27:04
Speaker 2: Well, they're just gonna You're just gonna take a knee,
1:27:06
I guess you followed the rules.
1:27:07
Speaker 5: Right, you have the standard, and yet it's like if
1:27:09
it's you know, and he's just doing his job, he's
1:27:12
just following the rules. Yeah, Now there could be a
1:27:16
situation where the coach goes, all right, you know, the
1:27:19
gloves are off, you know, take a shot here. I
1:27:22
think it's your best shot to score in the first half.
1:27:25
But you know they're just gonna take a knee right
1:27:27
here and go into half time.
1:27:28
Speaker 2: We'll hear from Kyle Winningham slide. We'll catch up with
1:27:31
him in a minute. They take a knee and that
1:27:32
will take us to halftime here at mcglayton Stadium. Well,
1:27:37
you never argue with being up on the road by
1:27:39
eleven and scoring twenty eight points, but it was a
1:27:41
pretty uneven first half. Let's go downstairs to slide with
1:27:44
Kyle Winningham coach.
1:27:45
Speaker 6: Those first couple drives, you guys, stalk, but you made
1:27:48
some great adjustments.
1:27:48
Speaker 3: Can you speak to an adjustment you made?
1:27:50
Speaker 11: Offensively, we just start to running the ball more downhill,
1:27:53
not as much lateral. There's a lot of big plays
1:27:56
offensive lead. That was the big, big positive in the half. Defensively,
1:28:00
we're giving up way too much. They've got close to
1:28:03
four hundred yards right now.
1:28:04
Speaker 2: Thanks coach Fly, Thank you, coach, Thank you. That sideline
1:28:09
update brought to you by Ken Garth.
1:28:11
Speaker 3: We hear you.
1:28:12
Speaker 2: Halftime here in Waco at Baylor you top twenty eight.
1:28:16
The Baylor Bayar seventeen will take a time out back
1:28:19
on the American First Credit Union Halftime Show. Next its
1:28:21
Utah football for ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports Radio Network.
1:28:25
Fifteen minutes on the clock. We're about ready for the
1:28:28
second thirty minutes of Utah football tonight here in Wago.
1:28:32
Utah has got everything to play for here. Postseason is
1:28:35
still very much in the picture for the University of Utah,
1:28:38
but they've got to take care of business and win tonight.
1:28:41
Next week Kansas State comes in for the final home
1:28:43
game at Rise ecl Stadium. We should get that kicktime
1:28:46
a little bit later on Tonight's Rashaan g Lover back
1:28:50
deep to receive this kick. We're ready to go for
1:29:01
second half action here at McLain Stadium. High and the
1:29:05
dover at this one short. It could be returnable and
1:29:08
it will be Rayshaw Glover from the five. Rayson Glover
1:29:11
up the field and tackle the the eighteen yard line.
1:29:15
Now we kind of see why Kyle Whittingham has that rules.
1:29:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's close though. There was a lane right there.
1:29:20
Boy half a step and he's you know, out to
1:29:24
the thirty five maybe year.
1:29:25
Speaker 2: You just wonder, Scott, there have been very few, if
1:29:27
any kick returns this year for Utah. If you're almost
1:29:31
just not in that rhythm of doing.
1:29:33
Speaker 5: It, Yeah, it is. It's Oh no, there's no doubt
1:29:35
about that. You know the reps and game reps. If
1:29:38
you don't practice it, don't execute in the game, don't
1:29:40
expect to have great results.
1:29:46
Speaker 2: Bird ficklenn In a quarterback for Utah Lander Barton in
1:29:50
the backfield.
1:29:51
Speaker 1: First down, Bird's.
1:29:52
Speaker 2: Gonna keep it himself trying to get to the outside
1:29:55
and he'll pick up a few yards out to about
1:29:57
the twenty two yard line of game of four on
1:29:59
first I wonder, I just wonder if Devin damp Pire's
1:30:03
not one hundred percent if we're gonna see more of
1:30:05
Bird picklod here tonight.
1:30:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that was weird.
1:30:07
Speaker 5: That was an unbalanced line to the left and they
1:30:10
pulled the guy and the guy that pulled didn't block anyone.
1:30:12
Speaker 3: If you block someone, that's a big play.
1:30:14
Speaker 2: Second down, we'll call it almost five yards. Devon back
1:30:17
in it, quarterback, empty backfield. He's gonna step up and
1:30:21
run it.
1:30:21
Speaker 1: He's got the twenty five, he's got the thirty and
1:30:23
down to about the thirty two yard line.
1:30:27
Speaker 2: For a gain of ten and a first down for Utah.
1:30:28
That's what we need to see more of out of
1:30:30
Deva Damp here.
1:30:31
Speaker 5: It's decisive, you know, and clearly he's gonna throw the
1:30:33
ball because there's no one in the pocket. Guys aren't open,
1:30:36
and he just decisively runs the ball, which he didn't
1:30:38
do in the first That's just great, great awareness and
1:30:42
great coaching to get.
1:30:43
Speaker 3: Him to do it the right way.
1:30:44
Speaker 2: Bird Fickland back in a quarterback with an empty backfield,
1:30:47
Devin Damp Pierce split wide to the right hand side,
1:30:49
Lander Barton in it, tied end motion man Daniel Bray.
1:30:53
They handed to Daniel Bray. He's got the thirty five
1:30:56
and thirty six down he goes after a game of four.
1:30:58
Speaker 1: Not a bad run. Run with four yards on first.
1:31:01
Speaker 5: Down, Oh no, in a great hole there, and then
1:31:03
it puts that guy in the secondary. Boy, if you
1:31:05
miss that tackle, it's a touchdown. And that's a lot
1:31:08
of stress. Just keep putting that stress on that defense
1:31:11
to make the plays.
1:31:11
Speaker 1: Devin Bobby made the tackle. Out of the ball game
1:31:14
goes Bird pick one and the ballgame comes way.
1:31:17
Speaker 2: Sean Parker on second down and six. Beef up front
1:31:21
for Utah. Parker the back of the backfield. That one
1:31:25
hundred and two yards in the first half is back
1:31:27
to back one hundred yard rushing games. They motion in
1:31:32
Dallan Bentley on second down and six.
1:31:34
Speaker 1: They handed the way.
1:31:35
Speaker 2: Sean Parker hesitates in the hole and picks up two
1:31:39
yards after the thirty eight yard line.
1:31:41
Speaker 1: Third down at about four coming up.
1:31:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you can hear from this crowd.
1:31:44
Speaker 5: They know that Utah is a potent running team and
1:31:48
they're cheering heavily every time that Baylor stops this offense
1:31:52
from making plays.
1:31:56
Speaker 2: So Utah with three out of seven on third downs
1:31:58
in the first half, Lander standing the ball game. It's
1:32:01
kinna feel like something might be coming his way. Empty backfield,
1:32:06
five receivers in the pattern. Now they bring a man
1:32:09
in motion. That's Bray. Devin's gonna keep itself. He's swallowed up.
1:32:13
The Baylor defense comes up big, and that's gonna bring
1:32:16
up fourth down. He never had a chance. They swarmed
1:32:19
the middle and he hands at the bray. Daniel might
1:32:21
still be running, but he kept it himself and got
1:32:24
dropped for a two yard loss.
1:32:25
Speaker 1: That's gonna bring up fourth down.
1:32:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was all about we are just gonna stop
1:32:29
the run. And they got great penetration there. You have
1:32:32
that counterplay and it just takes a little bit longer
1:32:34
and they just blew it up.
1:32:36
Speaker 3: It had no shot whatsoever.
1:32:37
Speaker 2: So the Baylor team that had momentum going into the
1:32:40
locker room at halftime is going to get the ball
1:32:42
back here fourth down and six Josh Cameron back to
1:32:47
him to receive this kick. Ryan Phillips on the puttet
1:32:51
for Utah. He's been good tonight, Rugby style punt, right hand.
1:32:55
Speaker 1: Side, good, high hanging kick.
1:32:58
Speaker 2: Cameron's gonna come fair, catch it and his own twenty
1:33:01
three yard line, and Baylor will start with a seventy
1:33:03
seven yard field but momentum at they're back right now.
1:33:06
Forty one yard punt, no return and Sawyer Robertson, who
1:33:11
only completed forty five percent of his passes in the
1:33:13
first half, but three for two under forty four yards,
1:33:16
brings that offense back out again.
1:33:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see if we can tighten this up on
1:33:20
the secondary here with this coverage. You know, it's interesting
1:33:24
the offense.
1:33:26
Speaker 5: The outside run was actually there in the second half
1:33:29
where it wasn't in the first.
1:33:31
Speaker 2: Bryce in Washington the tail back first and ten for
1:33:33
the twenty three for the Baylor Bears. Robertson in the shotgun,
1:33:38
he's gonna pass back pedals, looks to his right, throws
1:33:41
down the Field's got a man out there incomplete. Coverage
1:33:45
was solid by Smith Snowden, but he just missed Cole Wilson,
1:33:49
who's had a big play already in this ballgame of
1:33:52
sixty four yards. That one goes incomplete. They're throwing fades
1:33:56
all night long, and much.
1:33:57
Speaker 3: Better coverage right there.
1:33:58
Speaker 5: Of course Smith, he's right on it, which he wasn't
1:34:00
in the first half there, And I mean, it's gonna
1:34:03
all world throw and catch if you're gonna make that.
1:34:05
Speaker 2: Not playing as much press here as they did in
1:34:07
the game against Cincinnati. Second down in ten, Bryce in
1:34:10
Washington stays in the game five of the line of
1:34:12
scrimmage for Utah. Robertson surveys the defense. Utah brings pressure
1:34:18
up the middle, and there's gonna be motion.
1:34:20
Speaker 3: I believe.
1:34:23
Speaker 9: Offense number seven, five yard penalty second.
1:34:25
Speaker 2: Out Rice in Washington, who was gonna have to step
1:34:28
up and block Lander Barton moved early, and they'll back
1:34:31
them up five yards.
1:34:32
Speaker 1: Second down in fifteen.
1:34:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you hold that ball for just a half
1:34:37
a second too long in those linemen man and switch you.
1:34:39
It's like we want to go, Let us go. Don't
1:34:42
sit here all day.
1:34:44
Speaker 2: So second down in fifteen, they backed them up here
1:34:48
to their own eighteen yard line. Eleven forty to play
1:34:50
here the third twenty eight to seventeen Utah two left
1:34:55
and two right is Robertson operates out of the shotgun.
1:34:58
He'll backpedal to pass. He looks down the field, lots
1:35:01
of time, pumps once throws over the middle, cot coming
1:35:04
back to getting there's a mistackle thirty five and down
1:35:07
to the thirty nine yard line.
1:35:09
Speaker 1: That's a twenty one yard game.
1:35:11
Speaker 2: They're gonna Mark came down at the thirty seven, making
1:35:13
it a nineteen yard game to Josh Cameron, and that
1:35:16
all day for Sawyer Robertson to throw. Now they're gonna
1:35:19
go with some tempo on first and ten for the
1:35:21
thirty seven hand off Washington, He's stacked up and gains
1:35:25
back to the.
1:35:26
Speaker 1: Line of scrimmage. And that's its.
1:35:29
Speaker 5: You know, with Utah as much of the zone that
1:35:31
they're the man, they've played, they've played zone on that
1:35:33
last play and just kind of got lost in space.
1:35:36
Speaker 1: And didn't get any pressure either.
1:35:38
Speaker 2: No second down in ten o'clock running inside of eleven
1:35:42
to play here in the third twenty eight to seventeen Utah,
1:35:45
Washington stays in the ball game. Robertson out of the shotgun.
1:35:48
Four down linemen for Utah. Robertson takes the snap, Utah
1:35:59
bringing pressure off the edge ball ten at the line
1:36:01
of scrimmage. Tried to get that Nicole Wilson. It ended
1:36:04
up behind him. See you got their hand on it.
1:36:08
Somebody right in the middle of that line of scrimmage.
1:36:09
It might have been a leaky Viamahi. We'll see third
1:36:12
down and now ten coming up. Yeah, and it's you know,
1:36:15
it's just a yeah, alik. He was the one who
1:36:19
got the tip on it. But it's just Utah is
1:36:21
so much better when they play press. Even though they
1:36:23
have some big plays from time to time, they've just
1:36:26
played better man coverage press.
1:36:29
Speaker 1: Baylor two for ten on third down, third down and
1:36:32
ten for the Bears, Robertson to pass Utah rushing five, rolling, throwing,
1:36:38
floating down the middle, caught in Utah territory and down
1:36:42
at the forty nine yard line. Goes Josh Cameron again
1:36:45
and again, way too much time to throw and found
1:36:48
a wide open Josh Cameron who came back for the football.
1:36:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, and these guys are just going and just kind
1:36:53
of finding a hole in the zone there and Utah again,
1:36:56
they're just it's not where Utah's is not really comfortable
1:36:59
in those zones, and it's one of those things where
1:37:01
you don't do.
1:37:01
Speaker 3: It a lot and you just don't have confidence in it.
1:37:03
Speaker 2: Not sure why they're playing as much zone as they are.
1:37:05
They're press man. So against Cincinnati was outstanding. First intent
1:37:10
at the Utah forty nine Baylor on the move here
1:37:12
early in the second half, down eleven. Robertson operating out
1:37:16
of the gun again, play action pass, throwing down the field.
1:37:19
Speaker 1: It's up.
1:37:20
Speaker 2: There was a push off and no flag. That was
1:37:23
a push off on Baylor. Josh Cameron shoved off of
1:37:27
the defensive back and no flag. He was covered by
1:37:31
Blake Cotton. Did I miss that?
1:37:32
Speaker 1: Scott?
1:37:32
Speaker 3: It was a shove that was a great, great play
1:37:35
right there. It was it was.
1:37:38
Speaker 5: It wasn't really egregious when you watch it, but it's
1:37:41
just a great throw. The location of the throw was
1:37:43
where it needed to be, and Cameron just he is
1:37:46
a good receiver.
1:37:47
Speaker 2: Two hundred ninety nine yards. Now for Robertson, they're at
1:37:50
the Utah twenty seven first intent. This game's threatening to
1:37:53
get close here early in the second half. Bryce in Washington,
1:37:57
the tailback Utah crowding the line of score. Image now
1:38:00
on first down and ten, I don't know why you'd
1:38:02
run it if you're Baylor, they won't hear either. Robertson
1:38:05
looking surveying, throwing the fade to the end zone.
1:38:07
Speaker 3: It's up and.
1:38:09
Speaker 2: Incomplete, but flags line, it's going to be pass interference
1:38:12
on Utah. There was triple coverage out there, and Utah
1:38:16
committed past interference at the three yard line.
1:38:19
Speaker 5: Well, the defensive linemen we're calling this route here is
1:38:21
I mean, it's great coverage. I mean, I just you know,
1:38:25
if the last one was a.
1:38:27
Speaker 9: Defense number two fifteen yard penalty automatic first.
1:38:31
Speaker 3: Down, Yeah, I don't know.
1:38:32
Speaker 5: How you call that one and you don't call the
1:38:34
last one because it was it just looked like two
1:38:36
guys just kind of fighting for the ball right there.
1:38:39
Speaker 1: It almost looked like Cole Wilson just kind of his
1:38:42
feet got caught up, and I'm not sure that was
1:38:44
past interference to be fair, but I gotta bark that
1:38:47
ball at the twelve yard line and Baylor inside the
1:38:49
red zone threatening here early in the second half, first
1:38:52
down in ten at the Utah twelve.
1:38:54
Speaker 2: Robertson's gonna change the play. He's got three receivers left
1:38:58
in a tight end of the right hand side. He's
1:39:01
gonna look to his left hand side, pressure coming.
1:39:03
Speaker 1: And he is escaping, and now he'll be sacked.
1:39:08
Speaker 2: All the way back in the sixteen yard line. Robertson
1:39:12
down sack on the play by the lander Barton. That's
1:39:16
a big play on first down for Utah.
1:39:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jonah Hall got around that edge and made Sawyer
1:39:21
step up and then he just didn't really have a
1:39:22
chance there. You know, Utah has done a fairly good
1:39:25
job of covering guys other than that one play down
1:39:27
here in the red zone.
1:39:29
Speaker 3: Which is it's.
1:39:30
Speaker 5: Harder to cover him down here than when you're in
1:39:33
man covering.
1:39:33
Speaker 1: Second sack tonight for Utah.
1:39:36
Speaker 2: Second down and thirteen all the way back at the
1:39:38
sixteen yard line. Three receivers on the right hand side
1:39:41
here for the Baylor Bears. Robertson moving Washington back in
1:39:45
a pistol formation, hand off straight ahead. Washington barrels into
1:39:49
the line and picks up two down to the fourteen
1:39:51
yard line. Carson Kavusi, Lander Barton in on the tackle
1:39:57
for Utah. Jackson Benny also there to be third down
1:40:00
and long here, third down and eleven wholesale subs coming
1:40:06
in for the Utah defense right now, They've got to
1:40:08
get to the Utah three for a first down.
1:40:12
Speaker 5: That's an interesting Uh. Sorry, Robinson asked for a different football.
1:40:16
They changed out the football. Must have gotten there.
1:40:19
Speaker 1: Are three for eleven on third downs. Got one for
1:40:21
one on this drive.
1:40:25
Speaker 2: Robertson with Bryson Washington next to him, twins left twins
1:40:30
right here for the Baylor Bears on third down, Will
1:40:32
Morgan Scaley heat him up and bring pressure or play
1:40:35
coverage behind. They're walking Benny up to the line of scrimmage.
1:40:39
Now they're gonna bring pressure on Robertson it's coming. He
1:40:41
throws over the middle. It's tipped and incomplete. Trying to
1:40:45
squeeze that ball into Michael Trigg almost intercepted, and I'll
1:40:49
bring up fourth down.
1:40:52
Speaker 5: Pick that off right there. You know you got the
1:40:54
pressure on him. You've heated him up right here. You
1:40:57
got to see that there's nowhere to go, just right
1:40:59
through your hand.
1:41:00
Speaker 3: Oh Man almost twenty as a linebacker because he can't
1:41:04
catch well.
1:41:05
Speaker 2: He does have the one interception this year, that is true,
1:41:07
but they could have used it right there too. Field
1:41:09
goal a tempt coming. Connor Hawkins tonight, one for two
1:41:14
on field goals. This will be about thirty one yards
1:41:17
places down. The kick is away, it's up, and.
1:41:19
Speaker 8: It is good.
1:41:22
Speaker 2: Eight o nine to play and it's a one possession
1:41:24
game now here at McLain Stadium, Utah twenty eight in Baylor,
1:41:28
twenty time out of the field. This is Utah football
1:41:31
for ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network.
1:41:37
Utah did not score coming out of the locker room.
1:41:39
Speaker 1: Baylor did. They got a field goal eight o nine
1:41:42
to play here at the third ten play sixty three yards.
1:41:45
Speaker 2: They took three thirty seven off the game clock and
1:41:47
they get a thirty one yard field goal by Connor Hawkins.
1:41:51
How about Josh Cameron Tonight eight catches, one hundred and
1:41:54
nine yards and two touchdowns. Sawyer Robertson seventeen of thirty seven,
1:41:59
he's under fifty percent, But Scott, he's got two hundred
1:42:01
ninety nine yards and two touchdowns.
1:42:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's it's a really big plays and you know,
1:42:05
you has shown some different looks there and but it
1:42:09
was in that zone where he really, you know, he
1:42:11
really had opportunities to make plays.
1:42:13
Speaker 3: Don't get to him with the pressure up front and
1:42:16
he and he's just gonna pick it apart there.
1:42:18
Speaker 5: But I feel like Utah is still better going man
1:42:22
with pressure. These dvs seem to lock on the receivers
1:42:25
a little bit better in that situation.
1:42:26
Speaker 3: But this offense needs to get going. Devin Dan here
1:42:28
right here, he's got to put.
1:42:30
Speaker 5: It on his shoulders. He got to get it done
1:42:32
on this drive right here. You got to You've lost
1:42:34
the momentum in this game.
1:42:35
Speaker 3: You got to pick it back up. Get the back.
1:42:37
Speaker 2: Devin just four of eleven for sixty four yards tonight.
1:42:40
He does have seven carries for sixteen, but he doesn't
1:42:43
he doesn't look the way he did again Cincinnati and
1:42:46
some of the other games earlier this year.
1:42:48
Speaker 5: And you don't press right here, you just you just execute,
1:42:51
you know, just to do your job and just don't
1:42:54
try too hard.
1:42:55
Speaker 2: Kick off high and end over end. They're not going
1:42:57
to return this one. I don't think, Oh yeah they will.
1:42:59
Ray Shawn Glow from the one yard line, Ray Sean
1:43:01
Glover up the field to the fifteen man old man
1:43:05
drop right there, a fourteen yard return. You're allowed to
1:43:09
fair catch that ball. Yeah, it doesn't have to.
1:43:12
Speaker 3: Be in the end zone.
1:43:13
Speaker 5: Now you might get that directed now, just we're fair
1:43:16
catching everything. And it really makes more sense. I mean,
1:43:19
if you can't, if you can't really be more explosive
1:43:21
than that, you gotta.
1:43:23
Speaker 1: Why not put monta car value back there? He's been
1:43:27
caribic on pump returns, first and den with an eighty
1:43:30
five yard field for Utah.
1:43:33
Speaker 2: Leading in twenty eight to twenty. They led this game
1:43:35
twenty eight to ten. Last ten points to belong to
1:43:38
Baylor Parker, the tailback Utah throws in the flat that
1:43:42
balls complete to Dallan Bentley. He's pumped about the twenty
1:43:45
five leaves his feet gets belt to that abounds at
1:43:48
about the twenty six after the eleven yard game. Good
1:43:50
run by Bentley, and that's how you get Devin dan
1:43:53
Pier back in rhythm.
1:43:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's that's throwing off of the run. You
1:43:56
know he's out of the pocket. Great call there on
1:43:58
first down, very explosive. Bentley's doing his ninja kicks.
1:44:04
Speaker 2: Bird Ficklin's gonna be your quarterback here on first intended
1:44:07
to twenty six. They split damp Pier out wide to
1:44:10
the left hand side, Keith Parker of the backfield. Two
1:44:14
tights and two wives. His bray comes in motion. Bird
1:44:17
Fickland's gonna keep it himself. There he goes again.
1:44:19
Speaker 1: Thirty five forty forty five fifty stiff arm, forty thirty
1:44:23
five thirty twenty five, twenty fifteen.
1:44:26
Speaker 3: Ten five touchdown. You gotta be kidding me.
1:44:30
Speaker 7: He's done again.
1:44:32
Speaker 10: Bird Fickland seventy four yards up to the near sideline,
1:44:37
head into the end zone for a Utah touchdown.
1:44:41
Speaker 5: Oh, oh my goodness, this is int I've never seen
1:44:44
this before. This is it was not a stiff arm.
1:44:47
It was like he just really jacked that guy up there.
1:44:50
He's like with some vengeance, Oh my goodness. And it
1:44:52
was just that play is just so fun to watch
1:44:55
and I thought, well, well, sure they'll get him, and
1:44:57
they just didn't.
1:44:58
Speaker 3: And just want to want a great play.
1:45:01
Speaker 2: Ficklin's got three carries for one hundred and forty six
1:45:04
yards and two touchdowns.
1:45:06
Speaker 3: He went sixty.
1:45:07
Speaker 2: Seven on touch He was touched multiple times on that one.
1:45:11
Here's the pat it's up and good on the Pepsi touchdown.
1:45:14
But Fickland is just a big play waiting to happen
1:45:18
seven thirteen to play here in the third, Utah thirty
1:45:21
five and Baylor twenty. This is Utah Football from ESPN

Speaker 1: Family and yours.
1:45:32
Speaker 2: You can find him online at uhealth dot org slash utes.
1:45:37
I don't there's just something different about Bert Bicklin, Scott Mitchell.
1:45:40
There's just something different about that kid. He's an eighteen
1:45:43
year old true freshman that she doesn't play like it.
1:45:46
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
1:45:47
Speaker 5: And I mean that play was like he ran with
1:45:50
some vengeance, you know, and he starts out patient.
1:45:52
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, he gets on the edge so.
1:45:54
Speaker 5: Quick, and then he's patient, sets the defender up at
1:45:57
the line of scrimmage, makes him over commit back to
1:46:00
the inside, and then just like just the shivers.
1:46:04
Speaker 3: This guy, I mean, he just p four armed him
1:46:07
big time.
1:46:07
Speaker 5: And it was just like he just said, I'm not
1:46:10
gonna beat the night, I'm just gonna run and I'm
1:46:11
gonna score here.
1:46:12
Speaker 2: Just there's there's a different vibe and feel about this
1:46:16
offense when he's out there.
1:46:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, it doesn't feel like Devon is
1:46:21
quite one hundred percent and he's just a different player
1:46:24
when he's not.
1:46:25
Speaker 3: And you know, I mean he's on the sideline.
1:46:27
Speaker 5: It fears that everything's okay, but he's not running with
1:46:31
the same kind of running that Devin Dampier really normally does.
1:46:35
Speaker 2: By the way, Bert Fickland carries one hundred and forty
1:46:38
six yards, He's averaging forty.
1:46:40
Speaker 1: Eight point seven yards of carry. I'm not even sure
1:46:42
Barry Sanders ever did that.
1:46:44
Speaker 3: Wow.
1:46:44
Speaker 2: Fickland had one hundred and fifty one in the Colorado game.
1:46:47
So if he gets one more touch, he'll be close
1:46:51
to two hundred yards. If he stays on his average.
1:46:53
Here's a kickoff by Curtis and in the end zone
1:46:56
it goes. Baylor doesn't bring it out, Cole Wilson lets
1:46:59
it go and they've got it first and ten at
1:47:00
their own twenty five yard line.
1:47:02
Speaker 5: It reminds me a little bit of when I was
1:47:04
at Utah and we played Air Force. It was like
1:47:07
they rushed for six hundred and thirty one yards in
1:47:09
the game when we threw the ball for six hundred
1:47:11
and thirty one yards. It doesn't matter how you get there,
1:47:14
and it was a lot of big plays.
1:47:15
Speaker 3: Just like this.
1:47:17
Speaker 2: Utah now with two hundred and seventy one yards rushing
1:47:20
to one to seventeen for Baylor. Barreler's got two ninety
1:47:22
nine through the year, seventy five for Utah, first and
1:47:24

1:48:03
bringing the pressure. Robertson looking down the middle, he's got
1:48:05
a man open, juggled, caught and out beyond the forty.
1:48:08
Speaker 3: It goes to Ashton Hawkins.
1:48:11
Speaker 2: There was nobody there to hit him when he juggled.
1:48:14
He picks up seventeen. They gets sixteen in a first down.
1:48:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again in Utah. Just kind of going out
1:48:20
in this little zone area and just find a little
1:48:22
hole there.
1:48:22
Speaker 2: And Robertson now over three hundred yards and three hundred
1:48:25
and fourteen yards first and ten at the Baylor forty
1:48:28
one yard line for the Bears. Knight who goes five eleven,
1:48:34
two twelve the tailback. He'll be asked to block here.
1:48:36
He fires outside this Robertson wide open receiver into Utah territory.
1:48:41
Speaker 1: Ashton Hawkins. Again, he's now over one hundred yards.
1:48:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, this should be called past interference right here. The
1:48:48
slot guy.
1:48:49
Speaker 5: He actually goes up on the field and then he
1:48:52
starts blocking the wide receiver. It's close right there, but
1:48:55
it's a pickplay.
1:48:57
Speaker 2: Cameron's got one hundred and nine. Hawkins has one hundred
1:48:59
and three now one hundred and thirteen. First down, handoff
1:49:03
straight ahead night, not much running room there. He'll plow
1:49:06
ahead for two to the forty seven yard line. Robertson
1:49:11
now three hundred and twenty four yards nineteen of thirty
1:49:14
nine throwing. But he's having great success here in the
1:49:16
second half.
1:49:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's just comfortable, too comfortable in that pocket.
1:49:21
You know.
1:49:22
Speaker 5: They just they haven't really got to him enough to
1:49:24
get him uncomfortable.
1:49:25
Speaker 2: Fourteen of the nineteen completions have been to Cameron and Hawkins. Tonight,
1:49:29
second down in eight for the Bears, just on the
1:49:31
Utah side of midfield. Here Utah showing a little pressure
1:49:34
off the edge, and here they come. They throw to
1:49:36
the outside, caught again and out of bounds at the
1:49:38
Utah forty one. Again it's Ashton Hawkins is seventh grab
1:49:42
now and he's now at one hundred and twenty yards.
1:49:45
That's going to bring up second down, make it third
1:49:47
down in about two two and a half.
1:49:49
Speaker 5: Three man Utah has so been so good about, you know,
1:49:53
covering the slot now and now they're just throwing into
1:49:55
the outside. It's just kind of this cat and mouse
1:49:57
game between all right, you're going to cover the slot
1:50:00
and then then the outside guy's gonna be open.
1:50:02
Speaker 2: And now Utah's pressing Scott. Yeah, they're they're not playing
1:50:05
off right now, they're pressing.
1:50:07
Speaker 3: Where do they do their best?
1:50:09
Speaker 1: Third down?
1:50:09
Speaker 2: And three Bears three of twelve on third down, Robertson's
1:50:14
gonna change the play with the play clock, play time
1:50:16
for him, moves the quill, running back to his left.
1:50:19
Now he's gonna hand it off to Bryson Washington, who
1:50:22
bounces off a tackle and he's gonna be dropped behind
1:50:24
the line of scrimmage.
1:50:26
Speaker 3: He's gonna be.
1:50:26
Speaker 2: Dropped for about a half yard loss. Lander Barton grabbed
1:50:29
him around the ankle and brought him down. That's gonna
1:50:31
bring up fourth down here for the Bears. They're gonna
1:50:33
keep the offense out there on fourth down and almost four.
1:50:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look wherever Cameron is, he's probably gonna be
1:50:39
the guy.
1:50:39
Speaker 3: That gets the ball here to run that motion with
1:50:43
the pick play.
1:50:44
Speaker 2: Trig the tight end to the right slot, two receivers left,
1:50:47
one of the right hand side, the tailback Bryson Washington.
1:50:50
Speaker 1: On fourth down.
1:50:51
Speaker 2: The Bears are two of three on fourth down tonight,
1:50:56
and what do we have? Flags fly and this is
1:50:57
gonna go against Baylor. That's motion Now it's gonna be
1:51:00
fourth down at eight.
1:51:01
Speaker 9: Well offense number seventy four, five yard penalty, fourth owl.
1:51:07
Speaker 2: Caden Seraki, the right tackle flinched, and that's gonna be
1:51:12
fourth down and a whole lot longer now for the
1:51:14
Baylor Bears. Fourth down and eight all the way back
1:51:17
near the Utah forty seven yard line.
1:51:20
Speaker 3: That's second time he's done that. He just he's a guy.
1:51:24
You got to snap it quickly.
1:51:25
Speaker 2: There again, the Bears two out of three on fourth down.
1:51:28
This'll be a pass situation. Utah just showed a four
1:51:31
man rush right now. Now they bring another to the
1:51:33
line of scrimmage. Robertson claps his hands, takes the snap.
1:51:36
Utah coming off the edge. Robertson's gonna step up and
1:51:39
be stacked.
1:51:40
Speaker 3: He's dropped.
1:51:41
Speaker 1: It'll be a one yard day to the forty six.
1:51:43
Speaker 2: John Henry Daily and Lance Holds Claw sandwiched him and
1:51:47
took him down at the forty six yard line. It
1:51:49
won't go as a sack, but in essence it was,
1:51:52
and the Utah defense comes up big.
1:51:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is a big play and Jackson Benny
1:51:56
came off the edge and forced Robinson up into the
1:52:00
middle of the pocket, which really forced that sack.
1:52:03
Speaker 1: Time out on the field.
1:52:04
Speaker 2: The Utah defense makes a huge play, flips it back
1:52:07
to the Utah offense with three thirty two to play
1:52:09
here in the third quarter, Utah thirty five and Baylor twenty.
1:52:13
This is Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred and the
1:52:16
Youth Sports Radio Network. The Utah fansket Game Day ready
1:52:20
at the Utah Campus Store, the official retailer of the u.
1:52:23
You can visit the Sandy Store, the main campus store,
1:52:26
or online at store dot Utah dot edu. Forty five
1:52:29
minutes down and fifteen to go here in wakego tonight,
1:52:33
the Utah holding a fifteen point advantage of the Baylor
1:52:35
Bears thirty five to twenty. Third quarter numbers. You tied
1:52:39
a one hundred and forty yards Baylor eighty eight. You
1:52:42
tied one hundred and twenty nine on the ground and
1:52:44
eleven through the air. Baylor had two on the ground
1:52:46
at eighty six through the air, time of possession nearly dead.
1:52:49
Even Baylor actually ran three more plays. Utah's completed five
1:52:55
passes tonight, three to Dollon Bentley and two to JJ Buchan. Now,
1:53:01
this was about the same spot on the field in
1:53:03
the first quarter where they lined up in short yardage
1:53:06
and threw a touchdown pass to Dallon Bentley.
1:53:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, you've certainly created, you know, an urgency to stop
1:53:13
the run with how successful you've been. Those safeties are
1:53:16
really flying up into the line of scrimmage right here,
1:53:19
getting that really tight run formation and then play action
1:53:22
would be it would be a touchdown.
1:53:24
Speaker 2: Utah's got seventy five yards passing tonight and only twenty
1:53:27
two in the.
1:53:28
Speaker 3: Last two quarters.
1:53:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and Baylor, you know, you can make them
1:53:34
take it away, and Baylor has they've run the football.
1:53:37
Speaker 3: It was it was what was really there against Baylor
1:53:40
in this game. And you know, it's nice to see
1:53:43
Utah has been, you know, confident enough and committed enough
1:53:48
to stick with it.
1:53:50
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have two quarterbacks on the field right
1:53:52
now for Utah, Bird Ficklin and Devin dam here as
1:53:56
a Scott Mitchell dream. See what they run out of
1:53:59
this formation on second down at about seven.
1:54:01
Speaker 5: And believe me, I don't want to have it a dream,
1:54:04
but you know, we're living in a new world.
1:54:06
Speaker 3: Here.
1:54:11
Speaker 2: Ryan Davis and JJ Bucannon split wide to the right,
1:54:15
Devin Damn here comes in motion to the left, Bird
1:54:17
Fickland and Dallan Bentley in the backfield, Taylor bringing pressure.
1:54:22
Speaker 1: Bird's gonna throw.
1:54:23
Speaker 2: The ball caught by Buchanan inside the five and down
1:54:26
to the three yard line.
1:54:27
Speaker 1: Nice throw on the move.
1:54:29
Speaker 2: With pressure coming by Bird Ficklin and it's first in
1:54:32
goal Utah.
1:54:33
Speaker 5: And I think that's Utah's version of an actually play
1:54:37
action pass. Great catch by Buchanan, by the way that
1:54:39
that ball was behind him and uh and it's it's
1:54:44
you know you can do that because Fickland's kind of
1:54:46
left handed and you throw it that way in the
1:54:47
white side of the field.
1:54:48
Speaker 3: But great, great catch.
1:54:49
Speaker 2: By Buchanan, Utah bringing in the beef up front, first
1:54:51
and goal for the three yard line. I'm gonna bet
1:54:53
they line up and run this ball straight ahead and
1:54:56
Nakari Rodgers in the backfield. Dam Pierre goes under center.
1:55:00
Now Devon's going to change the play speed option to
1:55:04
the outside rogers. He's at the five four three two
1:55:08
one is he in? He is touchdown? Good cutback by
1:55:12
the Cary Rodgers in a three yard touchdown run. And
1:55:15
Utass punched in another one here early in the fourth quarter.
1:55:18
Speaker 5: Well, that was all in the carry because that play
1:55:20
really should have been I think it was his design
1:55:23
to look like a quarterback sneak. But you know, if
1:55:26
it was normally that speed option, Devon should have challenged
1:55:29
it a little bit more.
1:55:30
Speaker 2: Ninth rushing touchdown of the year for the Cary Rodgers
1:55:35
and a pepsi touchdown.
1:55:36
Speaker 1: That scoring drive eight plays fifty four yards, took four
1:55:39
to twenty off the clock.
1:55:43
Speaker 3: Oh he reaches out. What a great look right there.
1:55:46
Oh yeah it is.
1:55:48
Speaker 5: They might review this or at least look at it
1:55:50
because he was maxed out as far as his legs
1:55:53
could go. Did his dihpads touch the ground before he
1:55:56
got in the end zone. That's a close one, but
1:55:59
doing something. I'm sure they're probably looking at it.
1:56:02
Speaker 2: How are they doing the expedited review because referee Kevin
1:56:05
Marr is not looking at the monitor.
1:56:07
Speaker 3: Right now, trying to ice the kicker, trying to.
1:56:10
Speaker 2: Ice Dylan Curtis on a pat for now, that's a
1:56:12
Pepsi touchdown for Utah.
1:56:14
Speaker 5: It's super close. I mean it's it's and I gotta
1:56:16
keep it. Yeah, it's a touchdown.
1:56:22
Speaker 1: Rogers with his ninth of the year. Dylan Curtis trying
1:56:24
to top it off with a pat and put Utah
1:56:27
up by twenty two points.
1:56:33
Speaker 2: Snap his back, good hold, good kick, dil Zilla knocks
1:56:39
it through, makes his daddy proud, and Utah leads it
1:56:42
forty two to twenty fourteen. Unanswered here for Utah early
1:56:46
in the fourth quarter and back in control again. I'll
1:56:51
tell you what this Utah offense Scott, the last handful
1:56:56
of games has been terrific.
1:56:58
Speaker 1: So they've been a little un tonight, but they have
1:57:01
thirty four points of offense and a pick six here
1:57:03
tonight and a lot of big plays.
1:57:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think figuring out how to throw off of
1:57:09
the play action, you know, like some of those like
1:57:11
that last play to if you can in there.
1:57:14
Speaker 3: That's what this offense is.
1:57:15
Speaker 5: It's not a drop back offense, and it's so it's
1:57:18
so explosive running the football, and that's who you are
1:57:23
and you really have to play into that and lean
1:57:24
into it, maybe even more than they did tonight, you know.
1:57:28
And the great thing is you're just not relying on
1:57:32
one player, and if one player isn't totally one hundred percent,
1:57:35
you still have options and can still be productive.
1:57:39
Speaker 2: So Curtis said, to kick it off and Cole Wilson,
1:57:41
who has shown the propensity to return kicks tonight, when
1:57:44
given the opportunity, we'll stand about two yards deep in
1:57:47
his end zone forty two to twenty Utah fourteen twelve
1:57:50
to play high and end over end, and that's not
1:57:52
going to be returnable out the back of the end zone.
1:57:54
Speaker 1: It goes and.
1:57:55
Speaker 2: Sawyer Robertson, who's brought that percentage up. Scott he was
1:57:58
throwing at about thirty six set in the first half.
1:58:00
He's up to fifty now and he's got three hundred
1:58:03
and thirty yards passing, get two touchdowns.
1:58:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, Utah's it's it's been a feaster famine
1:58:09
thing tonight, and there have been opportunities, and you know,
1:58:12
I'll tell you what, I've been really impressed with these receivers,
1:58:14
maybe the most of maybe any team we've played this year.
1:58:18
Speaker 3: They gotta kick those special guys here.
1:58:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're good.
1:58:21
Speaker 3: I said.
1:58:21
Speaker 2: They reminded me a lot of Cincinnati. They've just played
1:58:23
a better schedule. Yeah, four receivers in the pattern on
1:58:27
first and ten down by twenty two. Sawyer Robertson brings
1:58:29
that Baylor offense out from his own twenty five yard
1:58:31
line and he'll pass on first down, blitz coming. He's
1:58:34
hit as he throws in, completes it, completes it to
1:58:37
his tight end, Michael Trigg, who's gonna be about a
1:58:39
yard and a half maybe two yards shy of the
1:58:41
first down and make market at the thirty four Utah
1:58:43
rod pressure. He got hit as he threw Jackson Benny
1:58:47
just got there a step league.
1:58:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, And sometimes when you who is really close right there,
1:58:52
you can you can only fool him so long. You know,
1:58:56
if you blitz from deep, you're not gonna get there.
1:58:58
You gotta get to the line of scrimmag pretty quickly.
1:59:00
Speaker 2: I love how Utah Slow plays the subs and these
1:59:03
defensive lineman acts surprised when they tried to come out
1:59:05
of the game.
1:59:06
Speaker 5: Well, and they love to be able to run slow,
1:59:08
you know, just run off the field really slow and
1:59:11
the guy goes.
1:59:11
Speaker 2: I could down in one play action pass. They're throwing
1:59:13
that fade up the sideline again incomplete. They were trying
1:59:16
to get it to Cole Wilson. Pretty good covers that
1:59:18
time by Smith. Note and third down and short coming up?
1:59:22
What was that about seventeen eighteen fades?
1:59:24
Speaker 5: We've seen we've seen a lot of those slot fades tonight,
1:59:26
and we've seen we've seen him executed well but defended
1:59:30
well and got a we got a clinic on slot fades.
1:59:34
Speaker 2: Well, you're in four down territory here if you're the
1:59:36
Baylor Bears down twenty two here early in the fourth, Yeah.
1:59:39
Speaker 3: I mean you're you're They probably punted if they don't
1:59:42
get it here.
1:59:43
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think they'll go for it
1:59:46
three for thirteen on third down, third down in a
1:59:50
yard they're gonna hand it off straight ahead. That's Night
1:59:52
and bounces off a man and then plows forward for
1:59:56
about two and a half three yards in the first down.
1:59:58
They had him in the backfield initially, but good effort
2:00:00
by the freshman running back Night and to pick up
2:00:02
the first down.
2:00:04
Speaker 3: So many guys getting ping ponged off of players these days.
2:00:08
You hit them, you don't wrap up. You don't get
2:00:09
to their legs and they just bounce off.
2:00:11
Speaker 2: Probably a passing down here for Baylor thirteen oh four
2:00:14
o'clock running to play. Here the fourth forty two to twenty,
2:00:17
Utah Sawyer Robertson out of the shotgun.
2:00:20
Speaker 1: He's going to pass.
2:00:21
Speaker 2: Four man rush spin move by John Henry Daily and
2:00:24
the ball incomplete in the flat. That was actually Cash
2:00:29
Dylan who made that move. They were trying to get
2:00:32
the ball out to Caden Knight.
2:00:34
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:00:34
Speaker 5: What's nice about this move is like he's not spinning
2:00:37
in space, he's spinning upfield, so you're actually gaining distance
2:00:42
as you spin, and it makes it hard for that
2:00:43
offensive lineman to really get.
2:00:45
Speaker 2: They love the upside of Cash Dylan. Look, he's gonna
2:00:49
be really good. Only a sophomore. Second down and ten
2:00:53
now at the Baylor thirty seven yard line, he's gonna
2:00:57
pass again.
2:00:57
Speaker 1: Pressure again, hit.
2:00:58
Speaker 7: As he throws. Intercept.
2:01:00
Speaker 2: That's gonna be Trey Reynolds up the sideline and tackled
2:01:04
at the ten yard line. Trey Reynolds with his second
2:01:09
interception of the season, and it was the pressure that
2:01:12
caused the pick, and the Utah defense.
2:01:14
Speaker 1: Comes up big again.
2:01:16
Speaker 5: Utah and that was Jackson Benny who made the hit
2:01:20
right there. And as I was saying the play earlier,
2:01:23
he started so far off the line that he could
2:01:25
never get there, And this time he was crept up
2:01:27
to the line of scrimmage and he just blew through there.
2:01:30
Speaker 3: No one even touched him.
2:01:31
Speaker 2: Jackson Benny is so fast off the edge. He is
2:01:34
one of the fastest players on this Utah team. And
2:01:37
at six foot three, he's long too. And that hit
2:01:40
caused a bad throw. And Trey Reynolds, who you said
2:01:44
should have had a pick earlier today he heards you,
2:01:46
Scott Mitchell and came up with one right there. Now,
2:01:49
Utah gonna try to apply the dagger to the Baylor Bears.
2:01:52
Speaker 5: Well, I had to retract my statement from before. It
2:01:55
was a bad throw, But that one he got.
2:01:57
Speaker 2: Bird Ficklin in a quarterback first in goal from the
2:02:00
nine yard line. Bird's gonna keep it himself straight ahead
2:02:03
to the five and down to the four yard line
2:02:06
for a five yard game? Is Bird Fickland the second
2:02:09
trip into the can't you give you Credit Union red
2:02:11
zone today for Utah and Fickland picks up five. He's
2:02:15
now over one hundred and fifty one yards. He's in
2:02:17
one hundred and fifty six and that's a new career high.
2:02:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, it gets a nice game there and is patient.
2:02:23
Speaker 5: I love these backs who are patient, let the block
2:02:26
develop and then explode.
2:02:27
Speaker 3: You know, you just you know there's gonna be a hole.
2:02:30
And he just hit and some guys hit it great.
2:02:32
He's one of them.
2:02:33
Speaker 2: Devin Dan Pierre back in at running back. They're bringing
2:02:36
the beef in two and Nakary Rodgers they line up
2:02:39
in the shotgun. They bring a man in motion. Now
2:02:43
they run outside counterplay. Nakary Rogers stacked up at the
2:02:46
five and gets back to the line of scrimmage at
2:02:48
the four yard line, and that's it. They tried to
2:02:50
fool him with a little option play to the outside
2:02:52
and Taylor was ready inside third down and goal.
2:02:55
Speaker 5: Now it's kind of an inside draw. It looks like
2:02:58
it's gonna be this kind of speed out side Baylor
2:03:02
just kind of Baylor's just selling out right now for
2:03:04
the run.
2:03:06
Speaker 3: So it makes it hard.
2:03:07
Speaker 2: Got an injured Baylor bear down at about the five
2:03:09
yard line. It's gonna be an injury timeout, so we'll
2:03:12
take it with him. With eleven forty three to play
2:03:14
third down and goal facing Utah when we get back
2:03:17
our second half that I'd brought to you by bud Light,
2:03:19
easy to drink and easy to enjoy from mcclaim Stadium in.

be in play here right now.
2:03:51
Speaker 1: If you're Utah.
2:03:52
Speaker 2: They've only thrown for eighty nine yards tonight, but they've
2:03:55
run for three hundred and fifteen. They're still being out
2:03:58
gamed by Baylor four four, but they're up twenty two
2:04:02
on the scoreboard. Yeah way, Shawn Parker's your tailbacks.
2:04:05
Speaker 3: Guy, Ah. Looks like it might be a little wildcat.
2:04:11
It's Devon in the backfield there.
2:04:12
Speaker 1: Devon's in the ball game.
2:04:14
Speaker 2: You got Larry Simmons wide to the right hand side,
2:04:17
JJ Bucannon and in the right slot and Ryan Davis,
2:04:21
who doesn't have a catch tonight. How about that second
2:04:24
leading receiver of the Big twelve doesn't have a catch tonight,
2:04:29
you might run that.
2:04:30
Speaker 5: I just still think they're going to do that little
2:04:32
play action run.
2:04:33
Speaker 3: Throw the ball to Buchannon over the middle of.
2:04:35
Speaker 1: The field, pop pass.
2:04:38
Speaker 3: They pop pass the shotgun, pop pass.
2:04:45

2:04:47
go third down and goal from the five yard line,
2:04:49
Utah four of nine.
2:04:50
Speaker 3: On third down.
2:04:53
Speaker 2: Damp here in the gun Parker next to him. Davis
2:04:56
comes in motion throws it in the flat Toway Sean Parker.
2:04:59
Speaker 1: He goes to the end zone touchdown.
2:05:01
Speaker 2: He had a little hesitation move and blew right by
2:05:04
the cornerback Gove into the end zone for a Utah touchdown.
2:05:09
Speaker 3: That's a great play right there by Wyshawn and out
2:05:13
leverages him, and then he just gives him a little
2:05:15
fake move and goes untouched in the end zone.
2:05:18
Speaker 2: Wyshan Parker's first catch tonight and first touchdown catch. A
2:05:24
second touchdown catch of the season. Devin dan Pier now eighty.
2:05:28
Speaker 3: Yards passing and two touchdowns.
2:05:31
Speaker 1: You know that's a Pepsi touchdown.
2:05:32
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wyshawn's just had a spring in his step all
2:05:35
night long.
2:05:36
Speaker 5: And and he's a guy that's a I think he's
2:05:38
a real spark for this offense. And he's a guy
2:05:41
that's a leader, and he really, you know, exemplifies what
2:05:45
this team is about.
2:05:46
Speaker 2: Zilda Curtis is perfect on his pads. He knocks that
2:05:49
one through and it's forty eight, forty nine twenty Utah
2:05:53
three plays nine yards emitted forty off the clock. Baeler
2:05:58
had nine first half is they've got three here in
2:06:01

2:06:26
Speaker 2: Utah had their lead in halftime for a first half
2:06:29
lead cut to eight twenty eight to twenty.
2:06:31
Speaker 3: Baylor had all the momentum on.
2:06:33
Speaker 2: Their side, and Utah has since scored twenty one unanswered
2:06:36
and put this game out of reach. Tonight forty nine
2:06:39

Speaker 2: Salad if you want to, but the pizza is just
2:06:57
so good. Slack Water stop it and see him today.
2:07:01
All their Utah locations. Pretty convincing night tonight for Utah,
2:07:07
even if the stat sheet doesn't look that way.
2:07:10
Speaker 1: It's been pretty darn good.
2:07:12
Speaker 5: Well, it's been so explosive, I mean, just big plays
2:07:15
by this Utah offense.
2:07:17
Speaker 2: Dylan Curtis has a teed up ready to go at
2:07:20
the thirty five yard line. Cole Wilson two yards deep
2:07:23
in his own end zone. Not gonna probably return this one. Nope,
2:07:28
he lets it hit and they'll begin a first intend
2:07:30
at the twenty five yard line.
2:07:34
Speaker 3: You know, Wyshawn's over there on the sideline.
2:07:36
Speaker 5: He's high five and all his offensive linemen and this
2:07:39
smart thing to do. Those guys are pretty special. You know,
2:07:42
it all doesn't happen without those guys up front me.
2:07:44
They've been as advertised this year.
2:07:47
Speaker 2: Wayshawn went for just over one hundred yards against Cincinnati.
2:07:51
He's got one hundred and twenty nine tonight and a touchdown.
2:07:54
Burd Fickland's got five carries, one hundred and fifty six
2:07:57
yards and two touchdowns. Baylor's got first intended their own
2:08:01
twenty five. Wilson comes in motion, then it goes back
2:08:03
out again. They're gonna hand the ball to Cayden Knighton
2:08:06
and he's gonna be stacked up behind the line of
2:08:08
scrimmage and drop for a loss at about the twenty
2:08:11
four yard line.
2:08:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I would think that they would probably call
2:08:15
off the dogs a little bit at this point. You know,
2:08:17
you keep throwing the ball, we'll be here till midnight.
2:08:19
And I don't think anyone wants that, so I certainly don't.
2:08:23
I want to be on a plane heading home soon.
2:08:26
Second down at eleven for Baylor, knight And stays in
2:08:29
the ball game. Robertson's in the shotgun checks with the
2:08:32
sideline Utah ships it's personnel around up front five of
2:08:35
the line of scrimmage. Play action passed for Roberts and
2:08:38
he throws caught here on the near sideline Josh Cameron,
2:08:41
he'll finally be gang tackled or Willie finally they rustle
2:08:44
him out of bunds at the thirty nine yard line.
2:08:47
Utah has had a real problem tackling these Baylor receivers
2:08:50
in the open field, and I Tao Johnson finally ushered
2:08:53
him out of bounds.
2:08:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:08:55
Speaker 5: Smith's nooning on that play is was kind of in
2:08:57
no man's land, and he was trying to guess if
2:08:59
he guessed to go outside, he might have picked it off.
2:09:02
Speaker 2: Cole Wilson's hurt right now for Baylor, He's gonna be
2:09:04
helped off the field. That last play a pickup of
2:09:07
fifteen yards to Cameron. He's got nine catches for one
2:09:10
hundred and twenty four yards. Utah's completed six seven passes
2:09:16
to three different guys. Baylor's completed twenty two passes to
2:09:19
four guys. Cameron's got nine catches, Hawkins has seven, Wilson
2:09:24
had trigged three apiece.
2:09:26
Speaker 3: You know, it just shows you you can be successful
2:09:29
doing throwing or running the football, it doesn't matter.
2:09:32
Speaker 2: First intended to thirty nine for the Baylor Bears. Bring
2:09:35
Ashton Hawkins in motion now to pass pressure off the edge,
2:09:39
throwing over the middle. It's caught and Cameron's got it
2:09:42
in Utah territory and down in the Utah forty five
2:09:45
yard line. Again the blitz came. He just got there
2:09:49
a step late. Now they'll go with some tempo. Well,
2:09:51
the Baylor Bears. First and ten for the Utah forty five.
2:09:55
Three receivers that are tied end to the pattern here
2:09:57
for the Bears, they're gonna hand that ball off the
2:09:59
Knight and stre ahead and he's drilled by Trey Reynolds
2:10:02
at about the forty two yard line.
2:10:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, Baylor early on was running the football and they
2:10:07
just they've gone away from him for the most part.
2:10:09
But they also haven't had much success other than just
2:10:13
real real early in this game.
2:10:14
Speaker 2: Three yard game for knighton on the play second down
2:10:17
in seven, Joe deal A checking into the ball game
2:10:20
and the leak I Vamahi will check out for Utah.
2:10:25
Play clock plenty of time on at seventeen seconds second
2:10:30
down in seven for Robertson and the Bears at the
2:10:34
Utah forty two. Robertson to pass Splitz up the middle,
2:10:37
hit as he throws looking down.
2:10:38
Speaker 1: The field and it is incomplete. Oh in a late
2:10:42
flag comes in.
2:10:43
Speaker 2: That's I don't like that call at all, Scott, jeez,
2:10:46
don't I don't like that call at all. Well, and
2:10:49
the boy Davis was out there covering Ashton Hawkins.
2:10:52
Speaker 1: The ball was uncatchable.
2:10:54
Speaker 9: And defensive nine fifteen yard penalty caught him at first down.
2:10:59
Speaker 2: The other thing about it is, gott it was hand
2:11:01
fighting up the sideline. Yeah, and I think Kyle Winningham's
2:11:04
saying that right now.
2:11:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to kind of understand as situated there.
2:11:09
Speaker 2: But it's just I just it's a fifty to fifty
2:11:12
ball at best, and there's hand fighting all the way
2:11:14
up the sideline.
2:11:15
Speaker 3: So well, it's hard when.
2:11:17
Speaker 5: You're a TV and it's not consistent, you know. And
2:11:20
it hasn't been tonight, No, it hasn't. And that that's
2:11:22
what makes it even more challenging.
2:11:24
Speaker 2: So first intended the Utah twenty seven yard line for
2:11:27
sorry Robertson. Robertson changing the play now as we have
2:11:33
nine minutes to play in the ball game night and
2:11:35
stays in the ballgame for Baylor in the backfield Utah,
2:11:38
bringing pressure again, he throws to the outside.
2:11:40
Speaker 1: It's caught immediately out of bounds.
2:11:43
Speaker 2: That Josh Cameron again yet at the seventeen yard line
2:11:47
covered by Blake Cotton. Nine yard game.
2:11:49
Speaker 5: That's when you have a lot of confidence in your guy,
2:11:51
because Robertson threw it before he'd even broke on the
2:11:55
route there, and it's those are tough to catch or
2:11:58
to defend when you throw out that early.
2:12:00
Speaker 2: Clock running at eight thirty five to play in the
2:12:01
ball game forty nine to twenty Utah. You took it
2:12:05
a rush four here on Robertson on second and short
2:12:10
whispered something into Knight In's ear. Play action pass pressure
2:12:13
off the edge looking to the end zone, up pot touchdown,
2:12:18
Josh Cameron, third touchdown Tonight beat Scooby Davis.
2:12:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is this is really cool.
2:12:25
Speaker 2: Now a fight, Wow, Tao Johnson going at it along
2:12:33
with Ashton Hawkins and others. Oh, let's see how they
2:12:37
unfold this one. The last thing you want right now
2:12:39
is to have anybody ejected from the game and missed
2:12:42
the first half of next week's game against Kansas State.
2:12:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, Scoots, Scooby Davis is gonna get it. He's gonna
2:12:49
get ejected. He took a swing in someone.
2:12:52
Speaker 1: Tao Johnson might be there too.
2:12:54
Speaker 3: You know.
2:12:54
Speaker 5: Part of this is it's kind of hard and I'm
2:12:57
not going to put it on the officials, you know,
2:12:59
but you know, not being really consistent in how you're
2:13:02
calling this stuff. And these guys have been going out
2:13:05
at all game. I mean, you know you've been You've
2:13:08
been fighting the whole game. And Scooby he's a little
2:13:11
bit hot right now. But yeah, it's it's kind of
2:13:15
a tough situation there on both sides of the ball.
2:13:17
Speaker 3: You know, Baylor they're frustrated because they're losing, and he.
2:13:20
Speaker 2: Got six officials huddled in that Baylor end zone right now.
2:13:25
Bears are gonna go for two once they decide what's
2:13:27
going on.
2:13:28
Speaker 3: Okay, who this guy went right after a Scooby as well.
2:13:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's a lot going on right there. Ashton
2:13:37
Hawkins lost his helmet. We're gonna have several unsportsman likes.
2:13:41
I'm gonna guess we have at least one, maybe two
2:13:43
ejections as well.
2:13:44
Speaker 5: We might it might be okay, all the wide receivers
2:13:46
for Baylor, you're out of the game. All the dbs
2:13:48
for Utah, you're out of the game.
2:13:52
Speaker 2: Here's Kevin Larra, referee. He's going to sort all this
2:13:55
out for us.
2:13:55
Speaker 3: Right here.
2:13:56
Speaker 8: There are two fowls on the play.
2:13:59
Speaker 9: Sports one like conduct Utah number nine, sportsman like conduct
2:14:05
Baylor number zero.
2:14:09
Speaker 8: They both threw punches.
2:14:10
Speaker 9: They'm both ejected from the rest foot ball game.
2:14:13
Speaker 1: I don't think it's number zero.
2:14:15
Speaker 8: I think she's number number is number six. He's injected.
2:14:20
Speaker 2: So Ashton Hawkins ejected. Scooby Davis ejected as well, and
2:14:25
I believe that means Scooby will miss the first half
2:14:28
of next week's game against the Kansas State Wildcats at
2:14:32
rysecl Stadium.
2:14:34
Speaker 1: It was an ugly little melee.
2:14:36
Speaker 2: There were clearly a lot of words being exchanged over
2:14:39
the last couple of minutes. At eighteen yard touchdown to
2:14:44
Cole Wilson, cap to six play, seventy five yard drive.
2:14:48
Speaker 1: Now Baylor will go for two.
2:14:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the thing about it is number six, one
2:14:52
name involved in the play at all.
2:14:54
Speaker 3: He's just yappened and and you know the touchdown and
2:14:57
then they just nothing needs to be said. They're kind
2:15:01
of a whole dumb situation.
2:15:06
Speaker 2: Scooby Davis is being withheld on the sideline right now
2:15:09
as the Baylor students are giving it to him. Here's
2:15:11
a two point opportunity Royer, sorry Robertson, rolling to his right,
2:15:15
looking toward the end zone, throwing back of the end zone,
2:15:17
caught by Josh Cameron for a two point conversion. Thanks
2:15:22
in forty nine twenty eight. Sorry Robertson. Now three hundred
2:15:26
and ninety seven yards and three touchdowns. He does have
2:15:28
the two picks. With eight eighteen to play and Utah's
2:15:33
lead down to twenty one at forty nine twenty eight
2:15:38
time out on the field. We'll come back on the
2:15:39
other side. This is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred
2:15:43
and the Youth Sports Radio Network. Get a little chippy
2:15:46

2:15:56
Delivery or Cadie game Days Chip Day.
2:15:59
Speaker 3: It's wrong.
2:16:00
Speaker 1: It should be down on the field a minute ago.
2:16:01
Speaker 2: Elijah Davis ejected, Ashton Hawkins ejected.
2:16:07
Speaker 5: Well, what they should have done is given these players
2:16:09
a chip cookie and maybe they wouldn't have gotten so salty.
2:16:13
Speaker 1: Now you get no chip cookies, No cookies for you, No,
2:16:16
no cookies for you.
2:16:17
Speaker 2: Total yardage in the game we may hit one thousand tonight.
2:16:19
Baylor five twenty two, Utah four oh nine. Maybe an
2:16:23
onside kick here yardage ump date brought to you by C. R.
2:16:26
England on side kick time. It may be here for
2:16:32
the Baylor Bears.
2:16:33
Speaker 12: Utah sure thinks so it sure looks that way.
2:16:43
Speaker 2: No onside kick high and long into the end zone.
2:16:47
It will go and that'll be a touchback. Smith Stowton
2:16:51
way back to try to receive that one. By the way,
2:16:52
a little basketball update for you. I can't call both,
2:16:55
and I'm gonna say it, I'm missing it, but my
2:16:57
buddy Sean Mooney's got it along with Tyson Ewing and
2:17:00
I'm about the running you. It's up twenty in the
2:17:02
second half on Sam Houston State, Sam Houston State, Late
2:17:07
Texas Tech really tough. A couple of weeks ago.
2:17:09
Speaker 3: Is that game at the Huntsman Center.
2:17:15
Speaker 2: We'll be back there Tuesday night with Purdue Fort Wayne
2:17:20
coming to town. First in Denver, Utah. Bird Pickland's your
2:17:25
quarterback night might be done for Devin dan Pire. Bird
2:17:28
by himself in the backfield, brings a man in motion
2:17:30
across the formation, hands at ball to Daniel Bray. Daniel
2:17:33
Bray falls forward and picks up about four yards on
2:17:38
first down, second down and six coming up tackle by
2:17:40
Jacob reading the free safety. Bray's one of those guys
2:17:43
who can make a big play too.
2:17:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was close there.
2:17:46
Speaker 5: He's learning, you know, you can't just beat them around
2:17:48
the adage there and he makes a nice cut.
2:17:50
Speaker 3: Get some yards.
2:17:54
Speaker 2: Lotto Tea checks in the Kari Rodgers checking in is
2:17:57
well here for Utah and Bird Pickland will.
2:18:00
Speaker 1: Be your quarterback the rest of the way.
2:18:01
Speaker 2: Nate Johnson, also in the ball game, another guy would
2:18:04
speed to burn the clock running seven forty to play
2:18:08
here on the third quarter.
2:18:09
Speaker 3: Nate Johnson's big debut is here.
2:18:12
Speaker 2: Bird Fickland to pass pumping once looking down the field,
2:18:15
sprinting to the outside, turning the corner thirty thirty five
2:18:18
forty and slides down smartly, slides down in bounds. That event,
2:18:23
they marked him at the thirty nine yard line. That's
2:18:25
the silliest spot I've ever seen in my life you slide.
2:18:27
It was at least the forty.
2:18:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, you slide, you get penalized, that's for sure.
2:18:32
Speaker 2: Now he got first down yard heg did Bird Ficklin,
2:18:34
he's really hurting his average now that average is now
2:18:37
down under thirty yards of carry. He's down the twenty
2:18:39
six yards of carry.
2:18:40
Speaker 3: And he did initiate the slide on the forty and
2:18:42
watching the replay on it, So you're all right, Bill
2:18:45
good Eyes.
2:18:46
Speaker 2: Thanks my doctor, Doctor Fann told me I still have
2:18:50
good vision. Seven six fifty five to play. Ficklin's coming
2:18:55
in motion this time kept straight ahead on the Wildcat
2:19:00
keeper Nacari Rodgers, and he picks up three to the
2:19:03
forty two yard line. It'd be nice to stick one
2:19:06
more in the end zone here on the Baylor Bears,
2:19:07
would it?
2:19:08
Speaker 3: They really? Would? You know?
2:19:09
Speaker 5: You you watch some of these linemen. They're down the
2:19:12
field blocking ten yards. These guys are they're getting after.
2:19:16
Speaker 3: It up front.
2:19:20
Speaker 2: There's six carries one hundred and sixty six yards now
2:19:22
for Bird Fickland is average down to twenty seven point
2:19:25
seven yards of carry, and.
2:19:26
Speaker 3: He's got he needs a big play here to get
2:19:27
that average back up. Now they're just milking the clock
2:19:32
as they should.
2:19:32
Speaker 2: Six fifteen sixty fourteen, six thirteen ten on the play clock.
2:19:36
As they bake the break the huddle, Ray motions out
2:19:40
of the backfield. Fickland's gonna throw it flanker screen dropped.
2:19:45
That was gonna be the first catch of the night
2:19:46
by Ryan Davis. Not very often he drops that pass.
2:19:49
It's actually a good pass by Ficklin.
2:19:52
Speaker 3: Hit it right in the hands. It's a good play.
2:19:56
Speaker 1: Third down now in seven.
2:20:00
Speaker 2: Baylor sold out for the run too, and Ryan Davis
2:20:03
had blockers in front of him.
2:20:04
Speaker 3: And I think that was the idea.
2:20:05
Speaker 5: You know, we're gonna put all these guys in here,
2:20:08
let's just get it quite past because usually you complete it.
2:20:11
You don't want to not complete the pass. You want
2:20:13
to clock to run.
2:20:15
Speaker 2: Bickland stays in. This is going to be a quarterback run.
2:20:18
He's got a full back of the ball game with him.
2:20:20
He's going to follow that full back. Now, throw it
2:20:21
over the middle pack. Ryan Davis does come up with
2:20:24
his catch beyond the fifty to the forty nine yard line.
2:20:27
Speaker 3: They fold us again, Scott. They did a great catch
2:20:30
by Ryan Davis. That thing was a rising fastball. I'm
2:20:33
telling the arm strength that Bird Fickland has. Wow, it's
2:20:38
a fun little play too. It's hard to defend. I
2:20:41
like that. That's a different wrinkles that Utah has shown
2:20:44
yet a little pop pass from the shotgun.
2:20:49
Speaker 2: So that's a first down to the Baylor forty nine
2:20:51
yard line. Berd Fickland now two of three for twenty
2:20:54
three yards. Full back in the game, man in motion.
2:21:02
Bird's gonna keep it himself. Actually it's gonna be Nacari
2:21:04
Rodgers the Wildcat who gets back to the line of
2:21:06
scrimmage maybe half a yard.
2:21:11
Speaker 5: It almost feels like Baylor is just really they're creeping up,
2:21:15
and it's almost like if you gave the fall on
2:21:18
the fly suite, that might be a good play right now.
2:21:21
Where it wasn't earlier in the game, it looks like
2:21:23
it might be now.
2:21:24
Speaker 2: They're creeping so many guys up near that line of
2:21:26
scrimmage to stop the run. By the way Utah's converted
2:21:29
its last three third downs, they're six to eleven now
2:21:31
on the night. This is a second down to nine
2:21:34
for the Baylor forty eight yard line. Utah leading at
2:21:36
forty nine, twenty eight. Nate Johnson's into the quarterback spot
2:21:40
now for Utah motion.
2:21:42
Speaker 1: Across the formation. Nate's gonna keep it himself.
2:21:45
Speaker 2: Nate to the thirty five or make it forty and
2:21:48
down to the thirty seven for a first down. This
2:21:50
was the sight of Nate Johnson's greatest game as a youth,
2:21:53
the comfort behind win two years ago and the sweltering
2:21:56
sun before he made the transfer to Vandy. Inn of
2:22:00
actually came back to Utah. Timeout taken by Baylor with
2:22:03
four twenty four to play. Utah is gonna They're not
2:22:07
gonna just run off tackling.
2:22:08
Speaker 1: There's too much time.
2:22:09
Speaker 9: Time out, Taylor thirty second time out. Fuck up, Rador,
2:22:15
please put four twenty eight on the uh.
2:22:19
Speaker 3: That was a nice run by Nate. You know, one
2:22:21
of the things with him, it was kind of you know,
2:22:23
he's just.
2:22:23
Speaker 5: A straight line runner, but he really showed a lot
2:22:26
of patience there and and and some some moves, and
2:22:29
I think that's something that he's really gotten a lot
2:22:32
more comfortable yet and had a lot of opportunities.
2:22:34
Speaker 3: But he's an athlete. He's a guy that you know,
2:22:37
can make things happen, and he can he can you know,
2:22:41
turn in a big play. He's got just unbelievable speed.
2:22:45
Speaker 1: Utah has got a lot of these guys. We were
2:22:47
wondering if the playmakers would be before the year, and
2:22:50
well they've They've developed as things have gone.
2:22:52
Speaker 2: Utah has had one, two, three, four and five. Seven
2:22:56
different guys run the ball and four different guys.
2:22:58
Speaker 1: Different guys catch the ball.
2:23:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's that you know what Jason Beck said, Look,
2:23:05
because I'm going to figure out who can make place
2:23:07
for me, and those guys are going to touch the ball.
2:23:10
Speaker 2: Bird fickling back at a quarterback here on first and
2:23:13
ten to the Baylor thirty eight. They get the Cary
2:23:15
Rodgers at the wildcat and the Cary second level breaks
2:23:18
the tackle, steps through another tackle, stays on his feet
2:23:20
inside the twenty and down to the eighteen yard line
2:23:23
for a gain of twenty Nacari Rodgers now five carries
2:23:28
in twenty six yards for Rogers.
2:23:30
Speaker 9: Time out Taylor their second charge time out of the
2:23:33
half thirty seconds.
2:23:36
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure why they're doing that.
2:23:38
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, do they want the ball back to
2:23:40
score again? Is that what is they're trying to do.
2:23:43
They're down by twenty one with four eighteen to play
2:23:46
and you toss in the red zone again a third
2:23:48
time tonight into the game.
2:23:50
Speaker 3: You have your Credit Union red zone. Yeah, and this
2:23:52
is this is Utah's second unit.
2:23:54
Speaker 5: It's not like, you know, it's not like they're trying
2:23:56
to pour on the score here, although I think they
2:23:58
should with a college football deal going on. But you know,
2:24:02
you got guys, you know, trying to tell Burt Fickland
2:24:06
not to play or play hard here. You know, Ni
2:24:08
Carrie and Wayshan, they look so familiar in their their
2:24:12
they're just styles, their their body makeup, and they're just
2:24:16
those tough, hard nosed runners.
2:24:19
Speaker 3: Nice play by Nick. Carry on that last play.
2:24:21
Speaker 2: Nine and eighty eight yards of total offense. Now between
2:24:24
these two teams, nine eighty eight. If Utah puts this
2:24:29
in the end zone, it'll be over one thousand total
2:24:31
yards between these two teams.
2:24:35
Speaker 5: We're all gonna have to take a shower after this game.
2:24:37
It's been explosive.
2:24:42
Speaker 1: Sure what that means?
2:24:43
Speaker 3: Take it how you want?
2:24:45
Speaker 2: Nate Johnson in a quarterback Rogers in the backfield with him.
2:24:48
Nate's gonna keep it himself. Nate's running to the outside
2:24:51
fifteen ten five pylon had a bounds of the one
2:24:56
yard line a half yard line. I don't know he
2:24:59
should have Oh is Nate down? Nope, he's up now.
2:25:03
They said he stepped out at the half yard line.
2:25:06
Speaker 1: Wow, he should have left his feet in dope like
2:25:09
way Shawn Parker did.
2:25:10
Speaker 3: They might want to review this one. That guy was
2:25:15
right there though, so.
2:25:17
Speaker 1: First and goal with the half yard line.
2:25:19
Speaker 9: The previous players under further review rolling on the field
2:25:22
of the runner.
2:25:23
Speaker 8: Was stopped short of the roll line.
2:25:26
Speaker 3: This is a touchdown, is it? Yep? He's weighing bounced.
2:25:33
Speaker 2: Nate Johnson's gonna have himself a touchdown, Yes he is.
2:25:38
It's gonna be an eighteen yard touchdown run for Nate Johnson.
2:25:42
Speaker 5: Yep.
2:25:44
Speaker 3: See right here, he's like that foot right, not that one,
2:25:48
but this one right here, wagh and bounds.
2:25:52
Speaker 2: Touchdown right now. It's seventeen to the half yard line.
2:25:57
But once this is reviewed, a booth official, Scott Mitchell says,
2:26:01
we're gonna have a Utah touchdown.
2:26:03
Speaker 3: I mean, this should be a quick review. This isn't
2:26:05
even hard. It's like his knee. The ball goes right
2:26:11
over the top of the pielin he's stipped.
2:26:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, Utah has put up fifty three on Colorado, forty
2:26:17
five on Cincinnati, and they're on the precipice of making
2:26:20
it fifty six now against the Baylor Bears.
2:26:23
Speaker 1: I'd say the offense is humming right now.
2:26:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I would say it's a running offense, Like
2:26:30
that's what this offense is. It's not a throwing offense.
2:26:34
But it's explosive and it's fun to watch.
2:26:38
Speaker 3: It's way fun to watch.
2:26:39
Speaker 2: Kevin Marra, referee is taking a look at it on
2:26:41
the monitor on the.
2:26:42
Speaker 3: Field, but I don't know what he's watching.
2:26:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, his foots in bounds at the half yard line.
2:26:49
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, he's like, may maybe they have a quota
2:26:55
up here.
2:26:56
Speaker 1: Here we go, here's Kevin marr. He'll tell us his
2:26:58
verdict right here and right now.
2:27:02
Speaker 9: After further review, the ruling on the field is upheld.
2:27:05
His first thing, goal inside the one?
2:27:07
Speaker 3: What did how.
2:27:10
Speaker 2: We just looked at three different angles on television?
2:27:14
Speaker 1: How is that not a touchdown?
2:27:16
Speaker 3: Touchdow?
2:27:17
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully they keep Nate Johnson.
2:27:18
Speaker 3: In unless they figured that the ball was outside of
2:27:22
the cone. Maybe the ball didn't cross. Yeah, I mean yeah,
2:27:26
I'm with you.
2:27:27
Speaker 5: And he's got this look on his face, like what,
2:27:30
I don't think Utah has eleven guys.
2:27:32
Speaker 3: On the field right now. Then that's too bad because
2:27:36
that was no Bert.
2:27:38
Speaker 1: Ficklin's gonna get a chance to punch this thing in.
2:27:42
They'll break the huddle.
2:27:43
Speaker 2: With ten seconds, He's got the Cary Rodgers in the backfield,
2:27:46
first down in goal from the half yard line. Fickland
2:27:49
brings the full back in motion, hands the ball to Rogers.
2:27:52
Rogers into the end zone and that's a touchdown. And
2:27:56
now more pushing and shoving after the Cary Rodgers scores
2:28:00
his second touchdown of the night tonight and his tenth
2:28:03
on the season. Double digit touchdowns. Now for the Karry
2:28:07
Rodgers and a pepsi touchdown.
2:28:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, these players need to be careful right now because
2:28:13
there's nothing. You know, you don't want to be out
2:28:15
of the game. I know he's probably are subs right now,
2:28:18
but you got to look to next week. There is
2:28:20
a flag on the field too. By the way, here's
2:28:22
the call.
2:28:24
Speaker 9: After the player is over, not of sports one. My
2:28:26
conduct defense numbers zero. That's his first un sports.
2:28:30
Speaker 8: More like conduck follow over the game.
2:28:31
Speaker 9: Fifteen yard punnel that you will be assessed on the.
2:28:33
Speaker 2: Kickoff Jackie Marshall, the defensive end, red shirt senior. You
2:28:38
could tell just simply frustrated out there. Ten plays seventy
2:28:42
five yards, four fifty off the game clock, and Utah's
2:28:45
got fifty five points on the board here tonight in Waco.
2:28:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, it almost feels like because he really wasn't around anybody,
2:28:52
he might have just said something.
2:28:53
Speaker 2: Bat Dylan Curtis blocked. Oh goodness, Dylan Curtis has a
2:29:01
pat blocked. One of the few things that hasn't gone
2:29:04
right tonight for Utah and the double Nickels stay on
2:29:07
the board, three twenty eight to play here the ball game,
2:29:10
and it's Utah fifty five and Baylor twenty eight that
2:29:14
blocked PA team. I could Gifford the strong safety got it.
2:29:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just didn't get any elevation on the ball.
2:29:22
He wasn't even really trying almost.
2:29:24
Speaker 8: It's just it's just.
2:29:27
Speaker 3: Not a good kick.
2:29:28
Speaker 2: This has been a long game. Three and a half
2:29:30
hours right now for this game. By the way, the
2:29:32
last four possessions for Utah Scott two plays eighty five
2:29:36
yards touchdown, eight plays fifty four yards touchdown, three plays
2:29:40
nine yards touchdown, ten plays seventy five yards touchdown. Well,
2:29:46
we have one thousand and six yards of total offense.
2:29:49
Speaker 3: I think they got the memo.
2:29:52
Speaker 5: At half time, you know, and other than that first
2:29:54
drive in the in the second half, it's been pretty
2:29:57
pretty explosive.
2:29:58
Speaker 1: Utah had four tochdowns in the first half.
2:30:01
Speaker 3: They have four touchdowns.
2:30:02
Speaker 1: Here on the second half. Now, they're going to.
2:30:05
Speaker 2: Kick the ball off from midfield.
2:30:08
Speaker 5: I think, you know, one of the things some of
2:30:12
the teams are doing in the NFL, they're trying to
2:30:14
kick a knuckleball like a knuckleball pitcher. Yeah, to try
2:30:19
to kind of toward the good field position.
2:30:22
Speaker 3: People are getting this kind of.
2:30:23
Speaker 1: Or you could try to do a line drive right
2:30:25
off the back of one of the up men and
2:30:27
try and recover it. That'd be a little salt in
2:30:30
the wound at this point in time for twenty eight
2:30:33
to play. Dylan Curtis, I think.
2:30:35
Speaker 3: Del Zilla is going to kick it. Try to kick
2:30:37
it in the upper deck.
2:30:38
Speaker 1: Kick it in the upper deck.
2:30:39
Speaker 3: On the other end, that's a good name. That might
2:30:41
be the best nickname for a kill zilla I've ever heard.
2:30:44
Speaker 1: I think it was Dad gave it to him.
2:30:46
Speaker 2: He's got a jersey that's got dl Zilla on the
2:30:48
back of it, Curtis. Yeah, this one's going to go
2:30:51
into the band. He just knocked the three rows into
2:30:54
the band.
2:30:55
Speaker 5: See if he can hit the tuba. Yeah, that would
2:31:01
be bad if you knocked a band player.
2:31:03
Speaker 2: Hey, you gotta have your head on a swivel on
2:31:05
kickoffs in the band when you're in the end zone.
2:31:08
All right, Baylor's gonna have one more possessions. David Randa.
2:31:11
He used his timeouts last time. I'm not sure. Why
2:31:14
are they gonna throw the ball?
2:31:16
Speaker 3: Here?
2:31:16
Speaker 1: Are they gonna I'm gonna probably try and get Sawyer
2:31:18
roberts in a four hundred yard passing day.
2:31:21
Speaker 2: He's got three of them in his career. Best career
2:31:24
day was four forty five against LSU. They've actually got
2:31:29
a backup quarterback in right now. Dodds is the backup quarterback?
2:31:32
Is that who that is? Joseph Dons No, that was
2:31:34
a tailback. It was a tailback, Yeah right, yeah, still
2:31:39
robertson in there. They hand that ball off to Joseph
2:31:44
Dots picks up two yards. Plock now running as we
2:31:49
come up on three minutes to play full postgame show,
2:31:52
coming interviews abound. We'll see if slies fast enough to
2:31:56
ketch burd Fickland for a postgame interview.
2:32:00
Speaker 1: Fast, second down and eight. Robertson out of the shotgun.
2:32:04
Speaker 2: Here he's gonna pass, so you're Robertson pumping looking, firing
2:32:10
over the middle, caught by Josh Cameron.
2:32:13
Speaker 3: Again.
2:32:14
Speaker 2: He had a defensive back draped all over him, and
2:32:17
Robertson goes over four hundred yards and that's a first
2:32:20
down for Baylor.
2:32:21
Speaker 1: Wow, after the thirty six yard line. Two and a
2:32:24
half to play, we'll have the two minute time out
2:32:26
and then we'll be done. Four man rush here for Utah.
2:32:30
Robertson gonna hand. Nope, he's gonna throw again.
2:32:33
Speaker 2: Another fade in a man wide open, caught and dropped.
2:32:37
Oh goodness, that was Cole Wilson who caught the touchdown earlier.
2:32:43
He was about five yards behind the defender who closed
2:32:46
wrapped him up and knocked that ball out.
2:32:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, good throw. That's a touchdown right there is just
2:32:53
a little bit short to.
2:32:55
Speaker 1: Eighteen to play. Second down and ten coming up.
2:32:57
Speaker 2: Robertson's thrown at fifty times tonight, six of fifty four
2:33:02
hundred and six yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.
2:33:05
Speaker 3: And a lot of it's been similar routes.
2:33:07
Speaker 5: You know, that slot fade, little dig route, I mean,
2:33:11
hasn't been too creative.
2:33:12
Speaker 2: Robertson out of the gun, Utah bringing pressure. He throws
2:33:15
to the outside and it's incomplete. Trying to get that
2:33:17
ball to Cameron. Good covers by Don Sanders that time
2:33:20
for Utah. Third down coming up.
2:33:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Sunder's got some good playing time tonight. He's
2:33:25
been booking playing pretty good as of late.
2:33:28
Speaker 3: Here. Now, that's really good coverage right there.
2:33:34
Speaker 1: Third down and ten Baylor tonight, four of fourteen. On
2:33:37
third down, Robertson.
2:33:43
Speaker 2: Operates out of the shotgun, spreads the field with four
2:33:45
wide receivers Utah bringing six up the middle.
2:33:49
Speaker 1: Robertson on a little dig.
2:33:50
Speaker 2: Route, little crosser on the mill over the middle to
2:33:53
his tight end. Pompenstein with the catch and he picked
2:33:57
up eleven and a first down.
2:34:00

hand it off straight ahead. They give that ball to
2:35:34
the young man that just checked into the ball game
2:35:36
a few moments ago. I'll tell you what I like
2:35:41
is that Joseph does.
2:35:43
Speaker 5: The fans are still here. Everyone else is pretty much left,
2:35:47
but not the Utah fans.
2:35:48
Speaker 3: I love that.
2:35:51
Speaker 2: Play action throw down the sideline and incomplete to Cole Wilson.
2:35:56
They're still throwing those fades that'll bring up third down
2:35:59
at about six.
2:36:00
Speaker 5: He actually throws the slot fate better to his off arm,
2:36:05
not been as accurate to his on armed side.
2:36:07
Speaker 2: Actually, Baylor five out of fifteen on third down. Yeah,
2:36:14
he throws a good ball. Utah's made murnit hill though tonight.
2:36:19
Third down and six, third team defense in there for Utah,
2:36:25
and here they come Robertson looking throwing that fade again
2:36:29
up the sideline and broken up.
2:36:31
Speaker 1: Excellent coverage.
2:36:34
Speaker 3: Man.
2:36:34
Speaker 2: That was nice coverage up that bar sideline by Utah.
2:36:37
That was Kayden Kelly. Nope, that was Jason Stokes is
2:36:41
who that was?
2:36:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's right there, just pats it away. Get
2:36:48
some hand on the receiver doesn't flying by him.
2:36:52
Speaker 2: Minute twenty nine to play, fourth down in five coming
2:36:55
up here for Baylor. Two out of four on fourth
2:36:57
down tonight, stadium just about empty except for the band.
2:37:05
Speaker 1: And a few students. Out of the shotgun.
2:37:07
Speaker 2: Sawyer Robertson Utah bringing the blitz here they come on
2:37:10
fourth down. Throw it to the outside and cought, juggled
2:37:14
and caught.
2:37:14
Speaker 1: Oh, the blitz was just a step late and they
2:37:18
got that ball to Jaden Porter.
2:37:20
Speaker 3: Well, that's he's just he's hope hopefully on that one.
2:37:23
I seriously don't know how. Yeah, that DB's took a
2:37:28
bad angle right there, Yeah he did.
2:37:30
Speaker 2: First intended the Utah forty two yard line, minute twenty
2:37:33
four to play, clock stopped first and ten Baylor Bears.
2:37:40
Utah's got his third team defense in right now against
2:37:43
mostly Baylor's first team offense.
2:37:45
Speaker 3: Wow.
2:37:45
Speaker 2: Certainly the first team wide receivers Sawyer Robertson to throw
2:37:48
again on the out route. They've got it to Josh
2:37:50
Cameron pushed out of bounce to thirty five, and Josh
2:37:54
Cameron now with his thirteenth catch. Goodness, gracious, thirteen catches
2:38:00
for one hundred and sixty five yards. Ashton Hawkins has
2:38:06
seven for one hundred and nineteen.
2:38:08
Speaker 3: Not sure what the strategy you hear is other than
2:38:11
just to pad your stats. I guess the.
2:38:14
Speaker 2: Baylor Robertson four under thirty yards passing throwing that fade
2:38:18
up the sideline again and it's at of bounds. Coverage
2:38:21
wasn't bad on the play by Saunders. Josh Cameron was
2:38:25
the intended target. Robertson just didn't give Cameron much of
2:38:28
a chance on that play. That'll bring up third down
2:38:30
at about three.
2:38:34
Speaker 1: This game is going way too long.
2:38:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's because they're throwing the ball.
2:38:42
Speaker 2: That was the fifty seventh attempted pass by Sawyer Robertson
2:38:46
in twenty nine to fifty seven for four to thirty,
2:38:49
third down and three from the Utah thirty five. Robertson
2:38:53
changing the play, four receivers in the pattern, this time
2:38:59
Utah bringing They handed off to the tailback who's not
2:39:02
gonna get there. He stopped after about a half yard
2:39:05
game to the thirty four and a half yard line.
2:39:11
Now we dip under a minute to play, it'll bring
2:39:13
up fourth down. What do you bet we get a
2:39:18
fade here, Scott.
2:39:19
Speaker 5: I think they'll run that little slot option here to
2:39:22
number two down at the bottom.
2:39:26
Speaker 3: Better hurry and get over there and cover it.
2:39:28
Speaker 2: Fourth down in two and a half forty seconds to play.
2:39:34
Robertson seeing pressure now Utah backs off it claps his hands.
2:39:40
Here comes the blitz. Robertson throwing that fade again up
2:39:43
the sideline. It's up and it is incomplete, excellent coverage
2:39:49
up the near sideline by Utah le Tristan Thompson broke
2:39:54
it up and with twenty five seconds left, Baylor turns
2:39:57
it over on downs and Utah will come out, take
2:40:01
a knee and head back to Salt Lake City with
2:40:04
their eighth win of the year and their fifth big
2:40:06
twelve wine.
2:40:07
Speaker 3: It's always great to win on the road, and you
2:40:09
just don't know what a team like Baylor that you
2:40:11
know they're capable, and they did a lot of great
2:40:13
things tonight. Baylor did, but man was Utah explosive and
2:40:17
so many big, big plays from this offense.
2:40:20
Speaker 1: Victory formation, the best formation in football right now, Bird
2:40:24
Fickland will take a knee for Utah, the Oklahoma native
2:40:28
with the Texas native Daniel Bray right behind him. First down,
2:40:31
Bird Fickland takes a knee and that will do it.
2:40:36
Utah comes to Texas and everything's a little bit bigger
2:40:41
in this state. And that's what it was on the
2:40:43
scoreboard tonight. A big win for Utah, fifty five to
2:40:47
twenty eight. They beat the Baylor Bears for a third
2:40:50
consecutive time. And it's a great night to be a
2:40:54
ute here in Waco, Texas as the units improved to
2:40:57
eight and two on the season and five and two
2:41:01
in Big twelve plays.
