Speaker 1: Utah Bands. Good evening and welcome to Laramie, Wyoming four
0:06
Memorial Stadium on the campus at the University of Wyoming.
0:09
For the first time in fifteen years, the University of
0:12
Utah makes an appearance here on the high plains of
0:14
eastern Wyoming to take on the Wyoming Cowboys. I'm Bill Riley,
0:18
joined by my broadcast partner Scott Mitchell upstairs, and the
0:20
third member of our broadcast team is downstairs, that Stevenson Sylvester.
0:25
Utah's owned this rivalry for the most part over the years,
0:27
but they haven't. They haven't played in about fifteen years.
0:31
Both teams are in a good spot at two and oh.
0:33
Utah trying to round at its non conference season and
0:35
a perfect three and zero. Scott, what do they have
0:37
to do to get that done? Here today?
0:39
Speaker 2: Well, I love this game and it reminds me of
0:41
an old coach I had who told you what you
0:44
needed to hear, not what you wanted to hear. I
0:46
don't know that Utah wants to be in Laramie, but
0:48
they need to be in Laramie. They need to play
0:50
a tough opponent, They need to play a feisty opponent
0:52
and They're gonna get it tonight, and they need it
0:55
in a hostile environment.
0:56
Speaker 3: This Utah team.
0:57
Speaker 2: Really needs to be a seasoned and ready for the season,
1:02
the conference schedule to start. So I just really like
1:05
this opponent, and Utah's really got to respect them, and
1:07
they got to show up tonight, and they got to
1:09
show up early and often and see this game all
1:11
the way through to its conclusion.
1:13
Speaker 4: Thirt This is where the Utes live on game day
1:17
and every day. KA L North Salt Lake kx R
1:21
K HD three ESPN seven hundred and ninety two to
1:25
one FM.
1:26
Speaker 5: Those sleeves today, Baby, it's game time right now.
1:29
Speaker 6: I absolutely love it. The locker room was hiring lots
1:31
of focus. Coach Whittingham was as intense as ever. He
1:35
really wants these guys to really understand what's at stake today.
1:38
Start fast was his mantra in the locker room, over
1:41
and over and on the final break, intensity, start fast
1:45
and intensity, and we.
1:46
Speaker 5: Start on defense. So I'm really looking forward to this one.
1:48
Speaker 1: So I thank you that sideline up they brought to
1:50
you by Ken Garth. We hear you. Utah won the
1:53
toss and they've elected to defer to the second half,
1:56
so they'll kick it off well, I mean, we'll get
1:58
the football to begin things here. And this this Wyoming
2:00
team is still trying to find themselves a little under
2:03
second year head coach Jake Sauvel. They've got a good
2:06
quarterback in cat and Anderson who took a beating last
2:08
week against Northern Iowa, but he'll be back out today
2:11
and Scott. They want to run the football today, does Wyoming.
2:14
They've got three good running backs and we'll see them
2:16
all today.
2:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's it's that whole idea play great defense,
2:20
run the football, establish the line of scrimmage. Wyoming has
2:24
four running backs primarily that they're gonna use, and so
2:27
you're gonna you're gonna see both of these teams trying
2:30
to establish the line of scrimmage. And that's a big,
2:32
a big challenge and a big part of who wins
2:34
today is who can challenge that line of scrimmage. You know,
2:37
Utah getting the winning the toss they actually won twice
2:41
here because you've got a pretty decent breeze going. So
2:43
not only do you get the ball at the beginning
2:45
of the second half, you get the win that you're back
2:47
to start this game.
2:48
Speaker 1: Fifty seven degrees here at kickoff and breezy. Expecting a
2:52
little rain at some point in time sometime here in
2:55
the first half. It rained last night, it rained through
2:57
the afternoon. Today it's cleared for now and they're also
3:00
expecting to sell out crowd here today at War Memorial Stadium,
3:03
Wyoming with the brown jerseys, white helmets, and gold pants
3:08
Utah with a very clean look. The black helmet, the
3:11
white jersey, the white pan here today and they'll kick
3:14
it off from left to right as you listen to
3:16
it here. So glad to be with you wherever you
3:19
might be today, listening around the city of Salt Lake City,
3:22
around the state of Utah, around the country, or around
3:25
the world today. So happy to be with you. From Laramie,
3:28
Wyoming for the Utes and the Wyoming Cowboys. Dylan Curtis
3:31
has it teed up at his own thirty five yard
3:34
line and he will kick it back deep to receive
3:39
the kick for Wyoming. This one will not be received.
3:43
It goes through the back of the end zone and
3:45
out for a touchback and first intend at the twenty
3:48
five is where Kate and Anderson will bring the offense
3:50
out coming off a thirty one seven win a week
3:53
ago where they ran him well through it pretty well
3:55
as well. But this is a certain step up, certainly,
3:58
Scott from what they saw last week from the world, there's.
4:00
Speaker 2: No question, and one of the things that Utah's really
4:02
preached is about stopping the run consistently. This will be
4:06
a great test and in a hostile environment. I just
4:09
I really like the setup of this game.
4:11
Speaker 1: Anderson comes out, he'll operate under center Sam Scott his
4:14
tailback seven yards behind, two tight ends on the right
4:17
hand side. They've got a dandy in Gillenborg today, two
4:21
receivers as well, and a play action roll to the
4:23
left hand side. On first out he is being chased
4:26
to the outside is Anderson and just throws it away
4:29
in space. Chasing him down on this near side was
4:33
John Henry daily and he threw it away incomplete. That'll
4:36
bring up second down in ten. The boot leg didn't
4:38
fool anybody.
4:38
Speaker 2: Well and you and so now you see it's a
4:40
lot of misdirection here. Line everyone up into the boundary,
4:43
looks like a heavy run and then bootleg naked there's
4:45
nobody there. John Henry does a very nice job of
4:48
maintaining the angle and not giving the quarterback any option
4:51
but throw it away.
4:52
Speaker 1: Now they empty the backfield on second down in tent.
4:55
Now they'll bring the back back in the backfield. That's Scott.
4:58
Three receivers in the pattern here wyoming Utah and a
5:01
four man down front first down, second down hand off.
5:04
That's Scott. He's going nowhere, absolutely swarmed under. Johnny Hall
5:10
was there also jonahlea aya short gain of about a
5:13
yard third down and nine coming up.
5:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
5:16
Speaker 2: That was one of the things is tackling better in games,
5:18
and Utah did a nice job last week and right
5:21
there on that play, great job of tackling.
5:24
Speaker 1: Anderson backs up into the shotgun. He's got a back
5:26
to his left to tie into the right slot and
5:28
three receivers in the pattern. Utah playing press man. On
5:32
third down and nine, Anderson back pedals. Here comes the pressure.
5:35
Lots of time down the field, man opening in complete,
5:38
he had him. He had him in about the forty
5:41
four yard line. Anderson's pass intended for him. That was
5:44
Chris dur the wide receiver out of Chicago. He had
5:47
him open, missed him. Pressure got to him late fourth down.
5:50
Speaker 2: Coming up, Yeah, and Anderson had to slide just a
5:53
little bit, and when he did, he just wasn't quite
5:55
as accurate. You know, it's a longer throw, but you
5:58
still have to be accurate when you move the ball. Great,
6:00
great three and out there though for the defense for Utah.
6:03
Speaker 1: Edmondston in to punt it Ray Shawn Glover back deep
6:06
to receive it. Hi hanging spinning punt. Glover's goet a
6:11
fair catch it, come up and take it at about
6:13
the twenty seven yard line and that's where Utah will
6:15
take over first and ten. Pretty good punt by Edmondston,
6:18
who averages about forty two yards a kick coming in
6:20
that was forty seven and no return. Now we'll see
6:23
Devin damp Pierre the Utah offense. Damp Pierre played these
6:26
guys a year ago at New Mexico. Didn't have a
6:28
great passing day, but he ran for two hundred and
6:30
seven yards and three touchdowns.
6:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's three New Mexico players who are playing here
6:34
for Utah now that we're there.
6:35
Speaker 1: Last year, Nacari rodgers in the backfield with Devin damp
6:42
Pierre on first and ten strength on the right hand
6:45
side of the formation for Utah. They'll bring a wide
6:47
receiver in motion, hand it off to Rogers, picks his
6:50
way forward. Not much running room there. He'll pick up
6:55
maybe a yard. Maybe he got back to the line
6:56
of scrimmage. Wyoming did a nice job swarming up front.
6:59
Evan Eller, their linebacker made the tackle on the play.
7:02
It's a gain of nothing. Second down in ten coming up, well.
7:05
Speaker 2: Utah's they were really playing the run right there, and
7:07
they did a nice job of stopping the run.
7:09
Speaker 1: Empty backfield. Now on second down, Damn Pierre's gonna roll
7:14
out to his right hand side and he's gonna run.
7:16
He's got the thirty thirty five and out of bounds
7:18
at about the thirty six yard line. That'll be a
7:20
gain of nine yards. Ll Or forced him out of
7:22
bounds again. Third down and one coming up here for Utah.
7:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, you almost feel like play action might be the
7:27
best thing for Utah because Wyoming clearly early on they're
7:31
just going We're gonna just sell out to the run.
7:33
These linebackers everyone playing very much downhill.
7:36
Speaker 1: And Wyoming big upfront and tough upfront, bubbly a better
7:40
front than they even had at UCLA this year. Third
7:42
down and one for Utah. Jumbo backfield for Utah and
7:46
third down, they turn and give it. Rogers picks his
7:49
way forward. He'll have first down yard age. He needed one.
7:51
He picked up two to the thirty eight and they'll
7:53
move the chains first down.
7:55
Speaker 2: This is one of the things I really like about
7:56
Jason back is he goes, Okay, if we got to
7:59
run it, let's put everyone in here that we can
8:02
run it with. You know, give yourself a chance. So
8:04
many of these coaches spread it out, and I just
8:06
love to get that jumble in there.
8:07
Speaker 1: Johnson and Eller made the tackle for Wyoming. Ellerd's been
8:10
busy here. Early empty backfield again. Dam Pierre hands off.
8:15
That's Smith Snowde on the left hand side. He's got
8:17
the forty forty five and Smith out to about the
8:20
forty eight yard line, very close to first down yardage.
8:24
He'll be about a yard shy nine on first down
8:26
for Smith. Snowden tackled on the play by the nickelback Desmond.
8:30
Speaker 2: Hearts yeah, and Smith is just such a fast guy
8:32
on that edge and he's so athletic. Great job of
8:35
making a cut, but he's doing at full speed and
8:38
he gets nine yards just because he cuts and goes
8:40
north and south.
8:40
Speaker 1: Barton, Bennie, and Snowden all in the ball game. Right
8:43
now for Utah on second down and a yard play
8:47
action pass here a lot of time for damp Pierre.
8:49
Devin surveys the field has a man wide open in
8:51
the middle of the field. That's Ryan Davis, his former
8:54
Lobo teammate inside the thirty and down to the twenty
8:58
eight of New Mexico Brayton John and made the tackle
9:01
he had all day to throw.
9:02
Speaker 2: Well, that was that play action we talked about in
9:04
the pregame and how well it worked. It was funny.
9:07
Barton was a decoy, Benny was a decoy, and Ryan
9:09
Davis was the guy that was open. He did a
9:11
nice job of just sitting in a hole there for Devin.
9:13
Speaker 1: Twenty four on the pitch and catch way Sean Parker
9:15
the ball game for the first time. Now for Utah
9:17
first and ten, dam Pierre's gonna throw again outside. Ooh,
9:20
almost caught that ball was way wide of Ryan Davis.
9:24
He almost came up with a heck of a catch
9:25
incompleted goes second down in ten coming up.
9:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Devin's got to see this because he had
9:30
to get rerouted just a little bit he didn't go
9:32
in quite the right timing.
9:34
Speaker 3: Had he been able to do that, he caught the ball,
9:36
might have scored.
9:39
Speaker 1: From the Wyoming twenty eight. Second down in ten, two
9:42
receivers to the left hand side, one to the rights.
9:45
Parker comes in the backfield orbit motion play action again.
9:48
He throws outside again. This time it's caught. He keeps
9:51
his feet inside the twenty and out of bounds. I
9:54
don't think going to mark him down at about the
9:55
twenty two. That was Tobias Merriweather, but he kept his
9:59
knee up. We got a flag or do we have
10:01
a time out? No, a flag of the play an
10:04
eligible man down field on you marker on the play,
10:09
So instead of a nice eight yard gain, it's gonna
10:12
come back and second down all over again.
10:14
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how you could say that that was
10:17
a guy downfield.
10:17
Speaker 2: He got rid of that ball. That's those RPOs right there.
10:20
But Tobias making a quick move and you can see
10:23
he's getting more and more comfortable with this offense.
10:26
Speaker 1: They stack receivers on the left hand side, one to
10:28
the right. Here on second down at about sixteen, Parker
10:32
in the backfield for Utah rolled to the right for dan Pierre.
10:35
Devin looking downfield. Now he's gonna run it, makes one
10:38
man miss and another inside the twenty five. He goes,
10:40
they'll mark him down with a knee down at the
10:42
twenty five. Picked up about nine yards on the play.
10:46
Third down coming up, Jayden Williams along with Brayton Johnson
10:49
made the tackle for Wyoming third down at about six
10:52
coming up here for Utah.
10:53
Speaker 2: That is the perfect example of how great Devin dan
10:55
Pier is. I mean, he was looking for the pass
10:58
and then he just exploded up, made the first guy miss,
11:01
got a nine yard game.
11:03
Speaker 3: That's just so special what he does there.
11:05
Speaker 1: Utah one for one on third down, third down and
11:08
six from the Wyoming twenty five. As the fans get
11:11
into it here in Laramie, Wyoming's showing pressure off the edge,
11:16
Dan Pierre alone in the shotgun, takes the snap. He's
11:20
gonna take it himself. Now, throw over the middle and incomplete.
11:24
Oh goodness, he had JJ Buchanan open it first down
11:29
yardage inside the fifteen, and he just threw it a
11:32
little too hard, the little too and far far in
11:34
front of you. Canon that time might have been catchable. Incomplete.
11:38
It goes the field goal team will come out.
11:40
Speaker 2: Now it's totally catchable and the thing is down. Should
11:42
have just run the ball right there and they only
11:45
rush three guys. They've dropped eight and he easily would
11:48
have got the first down and got to kind of
11:49
feel that and just get that first down.
11:51
Speaker 1: Forty three yard field goal attemptire for Dylan Curtis from
11:54
the right, Hash places down. The kick is away, it's high,
11:58
its end over end, and it's good. He would obeyed
12:01
that from about sixty three. I would take that one
12:04
into the pine trees. So they don't get a touchdown,
12:07
but they get points on the drive at a time
12:09
out of the field. Ten twenty two to play here
12:11
in the first half. A first half brought to you
12:13
by bud Lights. Easy to drink, It easy to enjoy
12:16
from Laramie and why War Memorial Stadium. It's Utah three
12:20
and Wyoming Nothing from ESPN seven hundred and the Youth
12:22
Sports Radio Network. Today's Utah football broadcast from here Laramy
12:26
being brought to you by Great Clips. At great Clips,
12:28
It's going to be great at last. Scoring drive nine
12:31
plays forty eight yards three forty six off the game clock.
12:35
Delan Curtis hit a forty three yard field goal. That's
12:37
a G two G field goal. When you eat one,
12:40
you'll know that drive had a lot there, Scott, you
12:43
had a lot to like, but there were plays that
12:44
were left out on the field. Two for Utah has
12:46
number seventeen. Dylan Curtis said, to kickoff for the Youthes.
12:51
Speaker 2: You had that last third down and even if you
12:55
throw it, the guy's only a couple of yards from you.
12:58
And Devin threw a fastballs thrown like maybe a off
13:01
speed at off speed, just and even kind of location.
13:04
You'll put it on the body. That's a tight end.
13:06
Speaker 1: Curtis kicks it high and end over end merit's gonna
13:09
let it go. Actually that's White who will let it
13:11
go through the end zone and out for a touchback.
13:14
And for the second time tonight, we welcome the Utah
13:16
defense to the field. Brought to you by our friends
13:18
at do Terra, Central Oil's partner of the University of
13:21
Utah football. They forced to three and out of the
13:23
first drive. We'll see what they can do here. Ten
13:25
twenty two to play in the first quarter. It's three nothing,
13:28
and what do we have. Looks like they have a
13:30
flag over there.
13:31
Speaker 2: It looked like a Utah player got mixed up with
13:33
a Wyoming player.
13:35
Speaker 3: It seemed kind of weird.
13:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, on a touchback, especially, referee is discussing it with
13:42
somebody right now. It's still at the twenty five yard line.
13:48
Well it's going to go against Utah. No referee might yet.
13:51
But that's a personal foul on Utah. And instead of
13:53
starting at their own twenty five, they can start at
13:55
the forty yard line. That's just a dumb penalty. It's
13:56
got on a play that's a touch back. That's just silly.
13:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know these players, they are just anxious
14:02
and they want to get out there and make something happen.
14:03
They just get a little too excited. Coach witting Am,
14:08
he's trying to figure out what the heck was that.
14:10
I don't think any of us know.
14:15
Speaker 1: Sam Scott the tail back of the ball game. Three
14:18
receivers at a tight end here. On first down, they
14:21
handed to Scott, he turns it back inside. He's not
14:23
going anywhere, and John Henry Daily make the tackle for Utah.
14:31
No gain on first down for Sam Scott.
14:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's this great gap control defense and Utah,
14:38
I think one of these impressive things about these defensive
14:41
ends is they can redirect out on that edge really well.
14:44
Speaker 1: Three receivers on the right hand side trips to the
14:46
right here on second down in ten four man down
14:49
front here for the Utes, Anderson in the shotgun takes
14:53
the snap, play action, pass pressure coming on, Anderson steps
14:56
fires down the field. It caught, it is, and a
15:02
flag comes down. We may have pass interference on Utah.
15:05
That's exactly what we have.
15:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's Smith Snowden.
15:09
Speaker 1: Snowden was on the coverage. He got a little handsy
15:12
with the wide receiver, and Utah is gonna be drawing
15:17
a pass interference penalty. That passed by the way, was
15:19
not caught, and it is on Smith snode fifteen yard
15:25
penalty to the Utah forty five yard line. That's two
15:27
penalties for thirty yards that have killed Utah right here.
15:30
Speaker 2: He put his hand out on the wide receiver, but
15:31
he certainly did not impede his progress there. I'm sure
15:35
that a fee official just saw that motion and called it.
15:38
But that's close.
15:41
Speaker 1: First and ten from the Utah forty five for the Cowboys. Here,
15:45
they bring a wide receiver in motion Anderson to pass
15:48
again straight back out of the shotgun, this time throws
15:50
out into the flat complete one man misses it. The
15:53
forty dives down to about the thirty six yard line.
15:57
Nine yards on the grab for Wyoming, and that's Chris Derr,
16:02
who was there, one of their better receivers a year ago,
16:04
who picks up nine and Wyo's got something going right
16:07
here and.
16:08
Speaker 2: They're doing it throwing the ball. I mean, this thing
16:09
is out there for a long time and Jackson Benny
16:12
just takes a bad angle when he comes back to
16:14
catch the receiver and gets the extra yards.
16:22
Speaker 1: Second down in one from the Utah thirty six yard line.
16:28
Adams the back of the backfield, two tight ends, two
16:31
receivers they handed to him, and he's got first down
16:33
yard is to the Utah thirty one. That's a gain
16:35
of five yards. And Wyoming's put together a nice drive
16:39
right here on their second drive of the ball game,
16:42
clock running eight forty eight to play here. The first
16:44
three nothing Utah.
16:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this defense they went on a run buttz
16:47
there and they were just trying to stop the back
16:49
and the Wyoming does a nice job of just stopping
16:52
that initial penetration for those linebackers and gets the first down.
16:56
Speaker 1: Freshman Toade Harris, the tailback. Two tights and two wives.
17:00
They handed to Harris again. He's got the outside. Harris
17:02
up the sideline, picks up eleven before he's forced out
17:05
of bounds at the Utah twenty yard line. That's an
17:08
eleven yard gain in a first down and on the
17:11
very edge of the red zone. They'll push him out
17:13
at the twenty one yard line. But that's back to
17:15
back good runs by the true freshman Harris. It was
17:17
Logan Fana who forced him out of bounds.
17:19
Speaker 2: And Utah is really good about setting that edge and
17:22
maintaining that leverage, and looked like someone got hold held
17:25
right there. I'm surprised they didn't get called.
17:27
Speaker 1: Fano was calling for that. They didn't get the flag
17:30
first intended the Utah twenty one yard line. Anderson goes
17:33
back under center, splits two receivers wide to the left
17:36
hand side. Anderson turns play action pass. Lots of time
17:42
looking down the field, scanning down the field, throwing toward
17:44
the end zone, up and incomplete. They're trying to get
17:47
that ball in. Smith Snowden had the coverage.
17:53
Speaker 2: One of the things Utah has done well this year
17:55
so far. Is They've got a great push on the quarterback,
17:58
and Anderson had all day to sit. There's great coverage
18:01
in the secondary. I mean he's wide receivers are plastered
18:04
all over the place, and you know this quarterback he'll
18:06
throw it up. I mean he you know, there's opportunities
18:09
to get in for interceptions here.
18:10
Speaker 3: But nice, nice coverage there by.
18:12
Speaker 1: Utah Codin the wide receiver was covered very well. Second
18:16
down in ten. Now from the Utah twenty one Anderson
18:19
back of the gun again. This time hands to his
18:23
tailback Harris, Who's nope, he kept it himself. Faked me
18:26
out with the option play. Probably should have handed it
18:29
to Harris instead, picked up nothing to to the twenty
18:32
one yard line. Did Anderson, and it'll be third down
18:35
in ten.
18:35
Speaker 2: You wonder if sometimes those quarterbacks like they're just told
18:38
this time, you'll keep it, because it didn't feel like
18:41
he was really reading the play per se and thought
18:44
he'd get Utah.
18:45
Speaker 3: But nice job. John H.
18:46
Speaker 2: Hall did a great job of staying home. Nowhere for Anderson.
18:49
Speaker 1: To go Wyoming, Oh for one on third down they
18:52
face a third down in ten. Got to get to
18:54
the Utah eleven for a first down. Three receivers in
18:57
the pattern to tight end and the tailback Anderson scans
19:01
the defense brings a wide receiver in motion. Now we'll
19:03
backpedal to pass. Utah pressure getting to him, Anderson spins
19:07
out of it and he's taken down. John Henry daily
19:14
all the way back to the thirty six yard line,
19:18
sack number four on the season for Daily, and Utah's
19:21
defensive front comes up big.
19:23
Speaker 2: John Henry did such a beautiful job. He set up
19:25
the offensive tackle to the outside, just did a beautiful
19:29
spin moof and was just free. And then he closed
19:31
on the quarterbacks so fast. There's two guys in there
19:34
trying to help him ount the quarterbacks. Just he's so
19:36
shocked and surprise, and John Henry finished the deal. That
19:40
was just a beautiful play. You might quick kick it here.
19:43
Who knows what they're trying to do.
19:45
Speaker 1: Well, they don't know what they're gonna do. They may
19:46
take a time out here, Wyoming, because the play clock
19:49
is ticked all the way down to zero six p
19:51
twenty one on the game clock, it's fourth down and
19:53
twenty five. They may be too far for a field goal.
19:56
Their kicker Eric Sandik has along of forty.
19:59
Speaker 2: Yards and you wonder if the win kind of in
20:02
their face a little bit. It looks like he's died
20:03
down though quite a bit from what it.
20:05
Speaker 1: Was check and that was actually a delay of game penalty.
20:08
They didn't take a time out. Okay, So now it's
20:11
back of the forty one yard line and I think
20:13
they'll definitely punt.
20:14
Speaker 2: Now, you would think, but you know, crazier things have
20:17
happened in college football when you get the human condition
20:20
in it and people have to make decisions, sometimes they
20:22
just they don't make good decisions, especially under pressure.
20:26
Speaker 1: So Edmonston the punter, comes out, he'll try and pin
20:30
Utah deep. Ray Shawn Glover will plant his feet at
20:33
the ten yard line and anything that goes over his head,
20:37
in all likelihood he'll let go. Fourth down and thirty.
20:41
Now at the forty one yard line, no rush on Edmonston.
20:44
He kicks it high and end over end. Glover's goet
20:47
a fair catch this thing with traffic around him at
20:50
about the thirteen yard line, and that's where Utah will
20:53
take over first and ten. When we get back, it's
20:55
Utah three and Wyoming nothing six to twelve. To play
20:57

21:11
booth here in Laramie. It's Utah Football form ESPN seven
21:15
hundred to Youth Sports Radio Network. First and ten, Utah
21:18
from their own thirty team will head down to slime
21:20
momentarily way Sean Parker, Nope, it's gonna be Devin Dampier
21:24
running and he's running through tackles. Twenty five and after
21:27
the twenty nine yard line for a gain of sixteen yards.
21:30
Devin Dampier down to her Kengarth sideline update. Sly, what
21:33
did you like about that last drive for Utah's defense?
21:35
Speaker 6: Well, I like the defense seeing a little bit adversity
21:37
and buckling down on their side of the field. We
21:40
can't put bast stuff on tape, but John Henry Daly
21:42
has been a force today.
21:43
Speaker 5: He's gonna have a really good game today.
21:45
Speaker 1: First and ten at the thirty, Parker comes in motion
21:48
play action pass for Dan Peer lots of time, and
21:50
Devin's gonna be able to run down the field if
21:52
he wants to, looking down the field, still looking down
21:54
the field, cutting back up the field, and he's gonna
21:56
be dropped now for a four yard loss. You just
21:59
gotta throw the football away, don't you got?
22:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really do, I mean, I mean, and he's
22:03
so great at that, I mean, you almost have to
22:05
get it. But he just went one one bridge too far, Yeah,
22:08
one bridge too far. Should have caught up the field,
22:11
got something or throwing the ball away.
22:12
Speaker 1: Then Florentine was there to drop him for a loss.
22:15
It'll be a three yard loss. Second down in thirteen,
22:17
coming up back in the twenty seven yard line. Parker
22:20
stays in the ball game as a tailback, tight ended motion.
22:24
They're gonna throw the ball out in the flat. That's
22:26
Hunter Andrews. Who's got it? Hunter coming up the field.
22:28
He's got the thirty five still on his feet, forty
22:30
forty five. And they say he stepped out of bounds
22:33
or do the mark he out of bounds at about
22:34
the thirty seven thirty eight yard line. Not bad game
22:39
of eleven yards. It'll be third down in short.
22:42
Speaker 2: That's a weird mark because there's no there's no indication
22:46
from these officials until he's gotten through it. But yeah,
22:49
I mean it's because that's Hunter Andrews. That's a guy
22:51
who's just so multi dimensional and he's got that speed
22:54
to get out on that edge.
22:56
Speaker 1: Utah on third down today, one out of two, they've
22:58
got to get three yards Parker and damp Pierre in
23:02
the shotgut handed, straight ahead way Sean Parker running room
23:06
into the secondary. He goes and down at the forty
23:09
six yard line for a game of eight yards and
23:12
another first down. That's how I'll just played power football.
23:14
Speaker 2: Well, it's a wicked combination because you got Smith Snowden
23:17
who could go on the edge, you got Wyshaw who
23:21
can run up the middle, and then you've got damn
23:24
Pier who can go on the court.
23:25
Speaker 3: I mean that's just oh scary.
23:27
Speaker 1: First down in ten damp Pier again. Now they're gonna
23:30
run the end around to smith snowd No, and the
23:32
turf Monster got him back of the forty three yard line.
23:35
He went to cut him back up field and Smith
23:37
slipped and fell for a three yard loss back of
23:39
the forty three yard line.
23:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a nice little reverse, nice little wrinkle off
23:44
off that power play there.
23:46
Speaker 3: He's got two guys pulling, and what he needs to
23:49
do is is he got him out.
23:50
Speaker 2: He's got a dip to the inside and then bounce
23:52
to the outside and you have a great play.
23:54
Speaker 1: Second down in twelve this time for you to almost
23:56
thirteen yards straight ahead hand off, that's way Shawn Park.
24:00
They'll make it. Rogers Rodgers outside forty to the thirty
24:03
five and out of bounds at the thirty three yard
24:05
line of Wyoming. That's a heck of a run and
24:10
a twenty four yard pick up from the carry Rogers
24:14
Nakary Rodgers with the carry down to the twenty eight
24:17
yard line.
24:17
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you who made this play was Caleb Lomu.
24:20
He just knocked that end who looked like he was
24:22
going to get in the backfield. That's what made that
24:24
play go.
24:25
Speaker 1: First and ten from the Yo twenty eight. Here for
24:28
Utah on the move again, damp Pierre to pass throws
24:30
to the outside. It's caught, is guy Ryan Davis catches it.
24:34
Much of a game He got to about the thirty
24:36
yard line. They give him the twenty nine for a
24:38
game of four Desmond. Hearns the nickelback in trail coverage,
24:42
but that ball just carried him out.
24:43
Speaker 2: Of a bound Tell you Ryan Davis has really turned
24:45
it into a heck of a receiver. But I like
24:47
to throw from damp Pierre. It's just plants.
24:49
Speaker 3: You're foot in the ground and throw it with some conviction.
24:52
Speaker 1: Two catches twenty six yards for Dan Pierre or for Davis.
24:56
Here's a tunnel screen on the near side. This time
24:59
trying to get up the field, but nowhere to go.
25:02
That was smith snowde and he picked up about a
25:04
yard to about the twenty eight yard line. Third down
25:07
coming up. He's had trouble keeping his feet on the
25:09
last couple of touches.
25:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just getting a little excited there. He's got
25:12
to maintain his paces. But if they had the perfect
25:14
play on right there, Wyoming blitzes and you block it
25:17
up right, that's a touchdown.
25:19
Speaker 1: Two receivers left, Buchanan and Merriweather Hutter Andrews in the
25:23
left slot way Sean Parker the tail back on third
25:25
down and six from the yo twenty eight. Dan Pierre
25:30
brings a man in motion. He's got to keep it himself.
25:32
Student body right, Nope, not gonna get there. Picked up
25:35
a yard to the twenty seven and that was it.
25:38
It never had much of a chance. Wyoming was ready
25:42
for it. And the field goal team will come out
25:43
for a second time as the clock runs with two
25:46
zho five to play. Jones Thomas, the free safety, made
25:49
the tackle on the play.
25:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a play that's worked very well for Utah.
25:53
That counter right there. Wyoming is really stout up front.
25:57
They've they've held their own on the line of scrimmature
26:00
and that place should have gone for more, but they
26:02
did a nice job of blowing it up.
26:03
Speaker 1: Forty five yard attempt for Dylan Curtis. He hit from
26:06
forty three on the last drive. Kick is away, it's high,
26:09
it's end over end, and it is no good. He
26:13
missed it wide right. He missed it wide right. The
26:18
Wyo defense makes a stand time out on the field.
26:21
Won forty one to play. Here the first quarter A
26:24
first quarter presented by Jersey Mike's because authentic ingredients make
26:28
it us ub above Go Utes Utah three, Wyoming nothing.
26:32
This is Utah Football. From ESPN seven hundred to the
26:34
Ute Sports Radio Network. Back in Laramie, Wyoming, Bill Riley, Scott, Mitchell, Stevenson,
26:41
Sylvester First and ten with the Wyoming Cowboys. They're chasing
26:44
Caden Anderson as Utah's pass rush and he just throws
26:47
it away out of bounds. There were three maybe four
26:50
utes in the vicinity and he just had to get
26:52
rid of it. Led by Trey Reynolds and others. It'll
26:56
be second down and ten coming up.
26:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Utah was again on one of those
26:59
run blips in the play action you touch, just overwhelmed
27:03
the offensive line for Wyoming.
27:06
Speaker 1: Second down and ten, the tail back is Kellerman to
27:10
Ron Kellerman in the ball game from their own twenty
27:14
seven yard line. Wyoming gonna hand it to Kellerman and
27:18
he's going to be wrapped up immediately. Jonahlaea, who's having
27:23
a really nice game so far with his second tackle
27:25
leading the way and third down and long coming up
27:28
here for Wyoming.
27:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just textbook right there.
27:31
Speaker 2: I mean, just everyone is just catch him in a
27:33
net and there's just nowhere to go.
27:35
Speaker 3: I mean, there's nowhere to go there.
27:40
Speaker 1: Wyoming on third down is zero for two, two receivers left,
27:45
two receivers right. A minute to play here in the
27:47
first quarter, three nothing Utah, four man rush coming here
27:51
for the utes. Anderson to pass, has some time, throws
27:55
it outside. It's caught right at the sticks outside and
28:02
a catch coverage was there, but the catch and the
28:08
throw were just a little bit better, and that is
28:13
Jalen Bean and that keeps the drive alive outter. The
28:17
thirty nine yard line coverage wasn't bad out there by
28:20
Scooby Davis, but the throw of the catch were better.
28:24
Speaker 3: Yeah.
28:24
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just right on him, I mean, and
28:26
he just just puts it in the absolute perfect spot
28:30
under center.
28:31
Speaker 1: Goes Anderson nineteen seconds to play, turning a give to
28:35
the tailback, a little bit of running room to the
28:37
forty five to the outside fifty and down into Utah territory.
28:42
That's Kellerman again and Wyo's got another good drive going
28:46
again as we come to the end of the first quarter.
28:48
A twelve yard gain on that play, and it'll be
28:52
first down Wyoming at the Utah forty nine when we
28:55
get back. Three nothing Utah at the end of one
28:59
our first quarter. Brought to you by the University of

29:10
in Laramie, it's Utah three and Wyoming nothing. This is
29:13
Utah football from ESPN seven hundred to UTH Sports Radio Network.
29:18
After a quarter of football here in Laramie, it's Utah
29:21
three Wyoming nothing. The Utes about gained Wyoming one, eighteen
29:25
to thirty four, but they've come up empty in the
29:29
red zone once kicked the field goal and missed the
29:31
field goal the other time. Wyoming's got a drive going
29:33
right now. We'll get Scott's thoughts on that a minute.
29:36
See our England committed to fighting childhood hunger. If you
29:38
want to help out two text feed Utah kids to
29:41
forty one four to four four to join the fight today.
29:44
For every load they deliver every yard Utah games, they'll
29:47
feed a hungry child in Utah. What did you make
29:49
in the first quarter, Scott, because it feels like Utah
29:51
should be up by more than three. Nothing.
29:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just about finishing things off.
29:55
Speaker 2: And Utah has been so good about finishing drives in
29:57
the red zone, and you know, just some kind of
30:00
if he decisions and then just not executing at the end,
30:04
and they got to get pressure on this quarterback not
30:06
really running the ball very well, but they are making
30:08
some place throwing it. They might try to, I'd go
30:12
man coverage and blitz him because they're not getting there.
30:14
Speaker 3: With four guys right.
30:15
Speaker 1: Now, two tights and two wides. On first down and
30:17
ten for wyoming, Kellerman stays in as the tailback. They
30:21
operate out of the pistol formation. Utah crowds the line
30:24
with five and six in the box. Now seven in
30:26
the box. Right now they play man on the outside.
30:29
Wide receiver comes in motion on first down, hand the
30:32
ball to Kellerman. Kellerman stacked up, falls forward, picks up
30:36
three three yards to about the forty six yard line.
30:39
Pretty good surge up front that time, but Utah held
30:42
its ground. Jodolaea again with a tackle his third tonight
30:46
for Utah. Yeah, they'll go with a little bit of
30:49
tempo will Wio. On second down and seven, Kellerman stays
30:52
in the ballgame play action, pass pressure coming Anderson airing
30:56
it out down the field snowed in there and he
30:58
almost comes up with the interception. And now we've got
31:04
an injured Utah player down. An injured Utah player down
31:08
on the opposite side of the field holding what appears
31:10
to be his ankle. I think that's Rabbit Evans. We're
31:13
gonna double check the number. He's rolling around in pain
31:15
on the far sideline. Teammates were calling for the training
31:19
staff to come out that past They were taking a
31:22
long shot down the field hoping to get it. So
31:25
I believe it was Jalen's sargeant couldn't get it snowed
31:27
and had good coverage. Who's got a time out on
31:29
the field, So we'll take that time out hope for
31:31
good news when we get back. It's Utah and Wyoming
31:34
here in Laramie. Third down, coming up three nothing Utah
31:37
with fourteen thirty one to play here in the first
31:39
half from ESPN seven hundred eight Sports Radio Network. Well,
31:44
never a good sign. The cart coming after Rabbit Evans,
31:48
teammates around him, head coach coordinator, everybody out is are
31:53
gonna load Rabbit on to the cart. We'll remind you
31:57
that our first half tonight being brought to you by
31:58
Minkey Coe Turrets not only football season, but especially up
32:01
here tonight in Lerman, It's blanket season two. Gets your
32:04
Minky Cotur Blankets online or any one of their six
32:07
retail locations. The entire Utah defense coming out to wish Rabbit.
32:11
Well here, but you saw the replace Scott. What did
32:14
you see? Did he just get his foot caught in
32:16
the turf?
32:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, the wide receiver he's in the slot there and
32:19
he just got tangled up with the wide receiver. Almost
32:21
looked like the guy stepped on his foot and he
32:23
overextended his other leg and it just, you know, caused
32:27
an undue pressure and a weird situation.
32:30
Speaker 3: So who knows what it is.
32:31
Speaker 2: It could be an ankle, it could be a knee,
32:33
but it was just it was just getting tangled up.
32:35
It wasn't and he wasn't even a part of the
32:37
player or anything. It was completely on the other side
32:39
of the field.
32:40
Speaker 1: He'll go to the locker room right now. Team made
32:43
say goodbye to him as he heads to the locker room.
32:46
Third down and seven coming up here for Wyoming from
32:49
the Utah forty six yard line. Wyo one for three
32:54
on third down. The Utah defense out there, presented by
32:56
Dough Terra. Sam's got the tail back of the ball
33:01
game here for Wyoming. Utah has been pretty good about
33:05
getting them off the field. On third down the eight, Richie
33:07
now in its safety for Rabbit Evans Caden Anderson lines
33:11
up into the shotgun three receivers at a tight end
33:15
to go with the tailback. On third down and seven
33:18
from the Utah forty six, Anderson's gonna pass four man rush, twisting, stunting,
33:22
looking over the middle, caught and dropped. All goodness, Jillenborg
33:28
is all conference tight end had it and dropped it
33:32
with I had first down yardage two instead it'll be
33:34
fourth down and the punt team comes out.
33:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again just not getting a lot of pressure
33:38
on the quarterback. I mean he looks to his right
33:40
and comes all the way back to his left again
33:43
and of course tight ends white.
33:44
Speaker 3: Open didn't catch it right there as you caught a
33:46
break on that one, but.
33:48
Speaker 1: Had Barton and John new Hall in coverage. But that
33:50
ball was there to be caught.
33:54
Speaker 3: Gotta get pressure on that quarterback.
33:55
Speaker 1: Edmonston in to punt Glover at his own ten straightaway
34:02
punts Ray Shawn's gonna look up, let it hit. It's
34:06
gonna be caught and thrown backwards.
34:09
Speaker 3: And what an.
34:09
Speaker 1: Effort by the punt team for Wyoming. They're gonna kill
34:13
it at the one yard line. Outstanding work by Wyoming.
34:23
I think see number twenty three was on that play.
34:29
I think it's Tyler Nystrom or maybe Jones Thomas who
34:33
made that play. Jones Thomas, and Utah's got a ninety
34:38
nine yard field in front of him right now, in
34:40
the shadow of their own end zone at the one
34:41
yard line.
34:42
Speaker 2: Well, if you talk to John Elway, he's gonna say
34:44
he's got him right where he wants.
34:45
Speaker 1: Him, especially if he's playing the Cleveland Browns. Rogers in damp,
34:52
Pierre in the shotgun six yards deep in the end
34:54
zone on first down in ten. Devn's gonna change the
34:58
play now, plenty of time. I'm of the play clock.
35:02
Dam Pierre hands to Rogers to carry straight ahead, picks
35:10
up a yard to about the three yard line.
35:14
Speaker 3: Yeah. This this team has been pretty stout.
35:16
Speaker 2: This This that's Wyoming. The defensive front has been been
35:22
pretty stout against the run against this Utah offensive line.
35:26
Speaker 1: Second down and nine, Rogers stays in the ballgame. Actually,
35:29
Parker checks in. Now they throw it in the flat
35:32
to Parker. He turns up the field. He's got the
35:34
seven yard line and collared out of bounds. Right there
35:37
after a game of about four, they have an eller.
35:40
The linebacker made the tackle third down coming up here
35:42
for Utah.
35:43
Speaker 2: That's a nice play by Wyoming because that that really
35:45
smelled like it was going to have a lot on it.
35:48
Here you fake the reverse and the linebacker just flies
35:51
out there late, does a nice job.
35:54
Speaker 1: Third out at about four for Utah seven and a
35:57
half yard line. They've got to get to about the
35:59
eleven and a half yard line. Rogers checks in Utah
36:01
two out of four on third down. Now they motion
36:04
Rogers out. Damn Pierre throws over the middle, caught first
36:08
down yard it's to the fifteen on his feet and
36:10
rolling down forward to Dallon Bentley and he'll get to
36:13
the nineteen yard line for a gain of twelve with
36:15
a first down.
36:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
36:16
Speaker 2: See, that's a nice play by Devin where he just
36:18
gets the ball. Bentley finds the open spot, but them
36:21
the ball's out and that's one thing we haven't seen
36:23
and that's big improvement over the first two weeks. And
36:26
then Bentley makes a guy miss and gets a bunch
36:28
extra yards.
36:29
Speaker 1: Rogers comes in motion in the backfield. Boss made the
36:32
tackle on the last play first down and ten for
36:35
Utah from their own nineteen. They handed to Rogers. Nakari
36:38
bounces to the outside, turns the corner twenty five and down.
36:41
He goes to the twenty nine yard line for a
36:43
gain of ten and another Utah first down. Jones Thomas,
36:47
the safety, made the tackle on the play. That was
36:49
a nice bounce outside by Rogers.
36:51
Speaker 3: It was.
36:51
Speaker 2: And it's about blocking. I mean, everyone is engaged. No
36:55
one lets a guy go there, I mean, and it
36:57
allows him to get out on the edge. And they
36:59
didn't hold right there. Ryan Davis did just a nice
37:02
job of blocking his guy enough to where he doesn't
37:05
hold him.
37:06
Speaker 1: Ryan Davis a veteran in this offense and showing it
37:08
right here to the thirty yard line goes Utah. Parker
37:11
comes in motion. They handed the Parker. He's got running
37:14
room thirty five forty hurdles a man and down to
37:17
the forty six yard line.
37:19
Speaker 7: Hoho.
37:20
Speaker 1: He hired a little linebacker and picked up four more
37:22
in a gain of sixteen. Justin Taylor was the man
37:26
that he hurtled over the top of. But what a
37:28
play in an athletic play by way Shawn Parker.
37:31
Speaker 2: You got to know those dbs are going to go
37:33
low there. It's a prairie dog. They come up out
37:36
of the ground. What a play.
37:37
Speaker 1: Wow, hunder Andrews in motion. On first and ten, they
37:40
throw the ball in the flat to Andrews up the
37:42
field goes hundred fifty and out of bounds at the
37:44
forty seven of the Wyoming Cowboys. Desmond Hearns made the
37:49
tackle and forced him out of bounds, but a gain
37:51
of seven on first down. I like that little play
37:53
in the flat to Hunter Andrews.
37:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really nice play.
37:56
Speaker 2: And Hunter's just getting more and more comfortable the more
37:58
he touches and play and again he's.
38:01
Speaker 3: Going to be a factor in this team.
38:03
Speaker 1: Second down and a long three is short four here
38:06
for Utah. Damp Pierre rolls to his right looking down
38:10
the field, firing in traffic. Fall is caught and then dropped.
38:15
Ryan Davis got absolutely blown up on the play by Jones.
38:19
Thomas Boy. Devin put it right on him, but he
38:21
took a giant wallop on the play. Third down coming up.
38:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the things Utah has really got a
38:27
you know, he should have caught that ball because it
38:29
got into his body.
38:30
Speaker 3: He just didn't get it secured.
38:31
Speaker 2: It's like you catch it, secure it and he ran
38:34
before he got it secured.
38:37
Speaker 1: Utah three out of five on third down, they faced
38:39
a third down and four Here for the YO forty
38:42
seven damp Pierre surveys the defense, now brings a man
38:47
in motion hand off, keeps it himself first down yardage
38:51
inside the forty five down to about the forty one
38:54
yard line for a game of six. Yeah, earns me
38:57
to tackle.
38:58
Speaker 2: Nice play there, and just just great great awareness by
39:01
Devin Inn. It's really hard. You got three, got a
39:03
guy going in motion. It's a problem. Got was Sean Parker.
39:07
Is a problem that you got, Damn Pierre And who
39:08
do you pick? And you usually get the wrong guy.
39:10
Speaker 1: Devon's got forty four yards rushing, sixty two yards passing
39:13
first down in ten inside of eleven minutes to play.
39:16
Here the first half from Laramie, Wyoming. Play action for
39:19
Dan Pierre looking down the field, throwing down the field
39:22
as a man out there, it's incomplete. Try to get
39:26
that ball, tot Tobias Merriweather. Coverage was pretty good out there,
39:29
had his hand on it, but that was gonna be
39:31
a tough grab. Incomplete.
39:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like him throwing a ball down the field
39:35
because you know they're getting a little bit of nosy here.
39:37
Wyoming is really good play action taking a shot down
39:40
the field.
39:41
Speaker 3: And this fall is oh so close.
39:44
Speaker 1: Benny in the ball game split wide to the right,
39:46
Rogers the tailback. Dam Pierre's gonna step up and change
39:50
the play Lander Barton and the right slot is the
39:54
tied end. Now Jackson Benny comes in motion, play action again,
39:58
looking outside and throws it away. He was trying to
40:01
get that the Lander bart and nobody was open. And
40:03
now third down in ten coming up here for Utah.
40:06
I almost feel if they could pick up five or
40:08
six here, Scott, like they might be in four down territory.
40:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels that way.
40:11
Speaker 2: And you know, a Devin, I guess he's just throwing
40:15
the guy in the flat, but he had Jackson Benny
40:17
just wide open down the down the field. Yeah, it's
40:19
okay to throw the ball down the field twice in
40:21
a row.
40:25
Speaker 1: Third down in ten, Utah four of six on third down,
40:31
Damn Pier out of the gun, Wyoming showing pressure option
40:34
play to the outside. Devon keeps it himself to the inside.
40:36
He goes and down to the thirty two. He picked
40:39
up nine yards and that's gonna bring up fourth down
40:42
in about a yard for Damn Pierre. A good run,
40:45
fake the pitch on the option and I'm gonna leave
40:47
the off fans out there and they're gonna bring in
40:49
the jumbo package here on fourth down in one sky.
40:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really nice play here. It almost looked like,
40:54
I don't know, it felt like Devon should have got
40:56
the first down there, but I guess they just kind
40:57
of jumbled it up there at the end. But again,
41:00
Utah runs the ball really well when they go north
41:02
and south. I mean, they're just such a good team
41:04
at that. Now is a great example.
41:07
Speaker 1: How long did the tailback actually the full back on
41:10
fourth down and one he'll block for Rogers. And now
41:13
a time out taken by Wyoming. They didn't like the
41:17
formation Utah had set up, and they take the time
41:19
out with fourth and one from the Yo thirty two
41:22
yard line, ten o two to play. We'll see if
41:25
we get a time out here, we will We'll take
41:27
it with him and reminds you that Pepsi and Smiths
41:30
are great partners in Pepsi and Smith's great for Utah
41:33
watching all year long great partners of Utah football. Fourth
41:37
and one. When we get back to Laramie. It's three
41:39
nothing Utah ten o two to play here in the
41:41
first half. From ESPN seven hundred and Youth Sports Radio Network.
41:46
The Beef is on the field for Utah on fourth
41:48
and one for the YO thirty two Semi Taolonga, the
41:51
freshman defensive tackle five eleven, three seventeen. He'll be blocking
41:57
for Nakari Rodgers if Utah chooses the run. They've also
42:00
got Bentley and Hunter Andrews on the field here. Fourth
42:06
and one for the WIO thirty two Utah Ricks the
42:10
huddle quickly damp Pierre under center. Gonna change the plane now.
42:17
Devin takes the snap, turns hands to Rogers. He'll pick
42:20
his way forward and that'll be first down yard it's
42:23
to the thirty yard line. Didn't get it by much,
42:25
but got it by enough. Slipped a little up the
42:28
left side, but picked up a yard and a half
42:30
and a Utah first down.
42:32
Speaker 2: Well, and it's I think if he stayed up he
42:34
might have gone around to catch for a big game there.
42:37
He just kind of trips it up just at the
42:39
last second. It looks like he gets tripped up like
42:41
his own blocker.
42:42
Speaker 1: Smith Snowden checks in the ball game with Hunter Andrews
42:45
in the backfield. Two receivers to the right hand side.
42:48
Now they flex damp peer out. Hunter Andrews will play
42:51
the wildcat along with Smith Snowden. On first and ten
42:54
from the Wyoming thirty, Andrews hands, Snowden comes back to
42:59
the left hand side. Snowden twenty five. Snowden twenty back,
43:03
inside back outside fifteen and out of bounds at the
43:06
Wyoming fourteen yard line. A sixteen yard gain on the play.
43:10
But wait a minute, there's a flag behind the plane
43:14
and it's going to be a hold on Utah. It's
43:16
coming back.
43:16
Speaker 7: Forty nine tenure on penalty may first down.
43:21
Speaker 1: Did he say forty nine?
43:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's in the game right now.
43:26
Speaker 1: Forty nine would be moeyati.
43:30
Speaker 2: Oh no, he's playing. He's right and guard all right.
43:35
That's just the ticky foul right there. The guy's going
43:38
way way to the inside and that's bad.
43:42
Speaker 1: First and twenty back of the Wyoming forty yard line.
43:45
Way Sean Parker the tailback. Utah hurting itself with penalties
43:49
here in the first half play action, Devin's going to
43:52
keep it to the outside and get back to the
43:54
line of scrimmage. And that's it. That was well read
43:58
by the linebacker, Evan Eller. He just stayed home waiting
44:00
for the quarterback. Second down and twenty coming up.
44:03
Speaker 2: Well, they're they're in a three man rush right there,
44:05
and you gotta you gotta go straight ahead against this
44:08
rush right here. He's so far outside that there's just
44:12
no way he's And that must have been a.
44:14
Speaker 3: Called play because he should have handed it off if
44:17
it wasn't.
44:17
Speaker 1: Roger's the tailback on second and twenty three receivers at
44:21
a tight end in the right slot. Dam Pierre's gonna
44:25
throw lots of time. Devin throws nearly intercepted, knocked away
44:30
and incomplete coverage on the play by dan Cius Miller,
44:36
and that's gonna bring up third down and an eternity.
44:39
Now for Utah.
44:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a tough play.
44:41
Speaker 2: I mean, he's only got one option there and they're
44:43
just smothering it and and Devin had to wait, wait
44:47
and wait, and then they just they just smothered the
44:51
guy and he had no shot.
44:53
Speaker 1: They're gonna rush just three and drop everybody else. Here
44:55
on third down in twenty Utah four out of seven
44:57
on third down. Do you run here against a three
45:01
man front?
45:01
Speaker 3: Yes, Parker the.
45:04
Speaker 1: Tailback, Damn Pierre's gonna throw lots of time down the field.
45:09
Complete inside the thirty and rolling down to about the
45:12
twenty seven yard line, goes Ryan Davis. You've made it
45:16
now fourth and manageable, but you're gonna send the kicking
45:18
team back out for a third attempt at a field goal. Today.
45:22
Utah heard itself with a penalty that time. Otherwise, Scott,
45:24
this drive was moving nicely.
45:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's unfortunate because it's really really equal. There's
45:30
been a couple of like questionable calls here with these officials.
45:35
Speaker 1: Forty five yard field goal inside the right hash Dylan
45:38
Curtis won for two today, made from forty three, missed
45:42
from forty five. This again from forty five. The kick
45:45
is away, its end over end, and it is no
45:47
good hit. He hit the left upright and it came back.
45:54
Utah's young kickers got plenty of leg but today the
45:57
accuracy off just a little bits, and defense feeling good
46:01
about itself With seven fifty two to play here in
46:04
the first half, it's still Utah three and Wyoming nothing.
46:10
Are we gonna get a time out? We are not
46:12
gonna get a time out this time around. First half
46:14
today being brought to you by Slackwater, Pete Seria and
46:18
pub locations all over northern Utah. Stop in and see him.
46:21
Family friendly, great craft beer selection of more at Slackwater.
46:25
Utah has two hundred yards of total offense to thirty
46:29
seven for Wyoming, yet just three points.
46:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all about finish.
46:33
Speaker 2: But now this, you know, the kicker over compensates because
46:35
he pushed it one to the right. Now he's now
46:38
he's hooking it to the left, and that that just
46:40
starts getting.
46:40
Speaker 3: In your head.
46:41
Speaker 1: First and ten for Anderson from his own twenty seven
46:45
yard line. Caden Anderson in the shotgun, keeps it, Nope,
46:49
hands it to the tailback out on the edge, turns
46:51
the corner at the thirty and knock that a bounds
46:54
into the Utah bench. That's Brantley, the wide receiver on
46:58
an end. Around that time, he picked up calling about
47:01
seven yards six yards on the play.
47:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brantley ran about forty yards in motion to pick
47:06
up in out and out and out, and then he
47:08
ran all the way across the field.
47:10
Speaker 1: Second down and four, make it along for almost five
47:13
here for Wyoming seven and a half to play here
47:15
in the first half, they'll hand it off again, this
47:19
time straight ahead and this time nothing doing. Nate Ritchie there,
47:26
Paul Fitzgerald there as well, stopping Tote Harris for a
47:30
short gain of a yard. Third down and three coming up.
47:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if I'm Utah, I might consider blitzing here,
47:37
tight man coverage and just really getting after this quarterback
47:40
make make the tough throws.
47:42
Speaker 1: Cowboys are one for four on third down. Here's the
47:44
tight man covers. Let's see if Morgan Scalley brings pressure
47:49
here it comes four man rush Anderson to pass taking
47:52
a shot down the field. He's got a man out
47:53
there incomplete Jackson. Benny had the coverage up that far
47:59
sideline on Bryson Brantley incompleted goes and I'll bring up
48:03
fourth down and the punt team's gonna come out here
48:07
for Wyoming. So a good job by the Utah defense
48:10
forcing a three and have pretty good covers here by Benny.
48:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great coverage, and I like this look. I
48:16
really think you got to challenge Wyoming. You gotta get
48:19
on this quarterback. And I think you know your foe
48:21
man pressure is just not doing it. Get some pressure
48:24
on him and make him get a little nervous here.
48:26
But this offense for Utah, I ain't got to go
48:28
right now.
48:28
Speaker 1: Edmiston on the punt from his own twenty yard line.
48:31
Ray Shawn Glover stands at his own twenty five. I'd
48:34
watched the fake punt here. If I'm Utah, this will
48:36
not be a fake. It'll be a wobbly kick. The
48:38
Glover will come up and take make a man misstep
48:41
up at the twenty five and down to about the
48:43
twenty seven yard line. Gain about three yards on the
48:47
punt return, and we've got a time out on the field.
48:49
First half today being brought to you by Smiths and Pepsi,
48:52
great partners of University of Utah football. PEPSI was made
48:55
for utes watching six point forty four to play here
48:59
in the first half at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.
49:02
It's Utah three and Wyoming nothing. This is Utah football
49:05
for ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network
49:09
Thread Nothing. Utah six forty four to play here at
49:12
the first Let's go down to slide for a Ken
49:14
Garth sideline update. What'd you see for the defense on
49:16
that last stand slide?
49:17
Speaker 6: I saw the defense do a really good job of
49:19
stands dout keeping their keys. Things aren't going well, but
49:22
this is a little bit of adversity that we were
49:24
talking about.
49:25
Speaker 3: Now.
49:25
Speaker 6: On offense, we've got to go down here and put
49:27
punch this into the end zone.
49:28
Speaker 1: First and ten Utah from their own twenty seven. Utah
49:31
has two hundred yards of total offense, not a touchdown yet.
49:34
Rogers bouncing outside, has the thirty thirty five and down
49:37
to the thirty six yard line. Nacari Rodgers picks up
49:41
nine on first down. Andrew Johnson, strong safety made the
49:44
tackle on the play. Second down and one coming up.
49:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is where Utah has seen a lot
49:48
of success. I've been able to kind of start up
49:50
on the off tackle and bounce it outside for some
49:53
big yards.
49:54
Speaker 1: Rogers stays in two tights and two wides here for Utah.
49:58
They shift the strength to the right hand on second
50:00
down and one this might be a play action, we'll
50:03
see here comes a blitz. They handed off the Rogers
50:05
and he is indeed blitzed and dropped for a two
50:08
yard loss back to the thirty four yard line. That
50:11
safety came from center field and made the tackle. Braydon Wilson,
50:14
defensive end, was there two third down and three coming up?
50:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's how you blow up this offense.
50:19
Speaker 2: As you get that penetration from the blitz something this
50:22
Utah offensive line hasn't seen him, and he's shot right
50:24
through the a gap there and blew up that play
50:27
before it ever even got started.
50:29
Speaker 1: U toss four out of eight on third down, they've
50:31
got to get to their own thirty seven for a
50:33
first down. Damp Pierre moving personnel around four stacked on
50:38
the right hand side, smith Snowt and on the left
50:41
he'll come in motion. On third down and three. They
50:43
handed the note and nope, damp Pierre keeps it and
50:46
he's not gonna get there. He gets to the thirty
50:48
six and that's it. Fourth down and one coming up.
50:52
Fourth down and maybe a yard and a half coming up.
50:55
They're gonna have to send the pun team out now
50:56
for the first time tonight.
50:58
Speaker 3: Wow.
50:58
Speaker 2: This is one of those where when they've run this
51:00
counter and they got these offensive lineman polling a lot,
51:04
it's just allowed this defense to kind of blow things up.
51:07
It's like coming off the ball, just getting a man
51:09
on a man. That's when they've had their best success
51:11
at when they're running it.
51:14
Speaker 1: Or Ryan phillips On to punt for the first time
51:16
tonight for Utah. Conan the wide receiver to kick it
51:21
to catch the punt, and that's a high deep punt.
51:24
Conan's gonna fair catch it in his own twenty one
51:27
yard line for forty nine to play on the first
51:30
half clock still three to nothing Utah. And the first
51:34
time we saw the punt team come out today for
51:36
Utah and now he called it a seventy nine and
51:38
a half yard field for Wyoming forty three yard punt
51:42
no return.
51:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, really need to.
51:45
Speaker 2: Defense has done a great job today and just they've bent,
51:48
but they haven't broke, and they need to.
51:52
Speaker 3: I guess they don't know when they want to do
51:53
a timeout or No.
51:54
Speaker 1: We're taking a time out now, says CBS, So we'll
51:56
take it with them for forty nine to play. Utah
52:00
defense back out again. This is Utah football from ESPN
52:02
seven hundred Youth Sports Radio Network three nothing Utah four
52:06
forty nine to play in the first halt first and
52:08
ten for Wyoming defense comes to the field. Brought to
52:10
you by Doe Tara. Everything on the stat sheet says
52:14
Utah is dominating this game. Time of possession, yards, yards
52:18
per play, all of it. But they only lead three
52:20
to nothing right now. Tote Harris the tail back for
52:24
Kate and Anderson who operates out of the shotgun. Two
52:28
tights and two wides here for Wyoming. Utah crowds the line.
52:34
They bring a man in motion across the formation, running
52:36
back again. Now they bring him back again. Anderson to
52:40
pass pocket collapsing down the field. He goes, has a
52:43
man open, caught into Utah territory and down up that
52:50
bar sideline. Samuel Harris wheel route up the sideline for
52:55
a huge gain in Wyoming first down to the Utah
52:58
forty six.
52:59
Speaker 2: And so I was just kind of sitting in a
53:01
zone right there, and guy gets gets past them down
53:05
the sideline there and Wyoming, if they're going to do anything,
53:08
it's taking shots down the field. That's the only success
53:10
they've had at all.
53:12
Speaker 1: Thirty four yard pass play Sam Scott back of the
53:15
ball game, Wyoming in Utah territory again and now a
53:21
time out taken by Utah. They didn't like the looting
53:24
that defensively.
53:24
Speaker 2: They'll take the first hard time on the half thirty second.
53:28
I think they tried the substitution. I don't think Wyoming
53:30
substituted or I don't know if coach Whittingham he's trying.
53:34
He's like, they substituted and they didn't allow Utah to substitute.
53:38
I think that's what he's and then he realized that
53:40
they weren't going to snap it, so Utah twelve guys
53:43
on the field.
53:43
Speaker 1: They had to call timeout four oh eight to play
53:46
Utah three Wyoming nothing. It's been a good first half
53:51
statistically for Utah, but they just have not finished drives.
53:54
They've missed two field goals. Penalties have hurt them in
53:58
this half on big play and Wyoming is now moving
54:02
the ball just a little bit before halftime. Cowboys have
54:06
two timeouts. Utah has two timeouts first and ten for
54:12
Wyoming at the Utah forty seven.
54:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Utah is just not getting to this quarterback
54:19
with their four man pressure on that play, Anderson had
54:22
a lot of time to sit back there, and it's
54:23
it's hard to cover guys when you have.
54:25
Speaker 1: That Scott the tail back, two receivers and two tight ends.
54:29
Now they bring a man in motion across the formation
54:31
to the Cowboys Anderson he's gonna keep it himself straight ahead,
54:36
gets back to the line of scrimmage and that's it.
54:40
Cash Dylan got an arm on him to help take
54:43
him down. Second down in tent on the way as
54:45
we dip under four minutes to play here in the
54:48
first half.
54:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a nice play by Cash.
54:51
Speaker 2: He does a you know, the quarterback is trying to
54:54
decide to hand it off or not, but great instincts
54:57
there to just get the quarterback down, get him enough
54:59
to get down.
55:01
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Sergeant. He's the big play guy.
55:03
He's wide to the right hand side here, matched up
55:07
with Scooby Davis Anderson under center. They bring Sergeant in motion,
55:12
play action, pass pressure coming. He's hit the balls out.
55:17
Does Utah have it? We do a fumble, land bart
55:22
recovers his pressure, got the x force to fumble and
55:25
Barton falls on it for Utah. It was John Henry
55:29
Daily who made the hit and the strip and Utah
55:32
gets it back.
55:33
Speaker 3: Oh John Henry, your mama will be proud. That was
55:37
a nice play.
55:38
Speaker 2: Great awareness right there, and that's just what this Utah
55:41
offense needed.
55:42
Speaker 3: Defense needed to get that turnover.
55:44
Speaker 1: And I think Sly said earlier to us off the air,
55:46
they need to be swiping at the ball on that quarterback.
55:48
That's exactly what John Henry Daily did.
55:50
Speaker 3: Yep.
55:50
Speaker 1: We'll see if Utah takes a shot on a quick
55:52
change here first and ten for the Wyoming forty six
55:55
yard line, Devin Dan Pierce stands in the shotgun way,
55:59
Shawn Parker with him. A motion was shan out. Devn
56:04
throws caught and on a slide, Ryan Davis takes it
56:08
down to about the forty one yard line. Eight a
56:10
five on first down. Nothing wrong with that, Ryan having
56:12
a nice game. Jones Thomas was there to touch him down.
56:15
Speaker 2: That actually is something wrong with it. A better throw
56:17
gives him yards after a catch. You know, you've got
56:20
to get that ball up so he can.
56:21
Speaker 1: Run second down in five four and a half. Maybe
56:26
motion man is Dallan Bentley. Devon's gonna keep it himself
56:31
inside the thirty Naked was Sean Parker who carried it. See,
56:37
and that's where this offense Larentine and Johnson on the tackle.
56:40
That's where This offense really is working right now, just
56:43
straight ahead stuff, one cut and up the field is
56:46
where this defense is having trouble. First and ten from
56:49
the Wyoming twenty nine yard line, play action passed a
56:53
role to the right for Dan Peer firing to the outside, caught.
56:56
There's Ryan Davis on an out route that was a
56:59
better throw. Let him out of bounds for a pickup
57:01
on the play of eleven more yards and inside the
57:04
Canyon View Credit Union red zone for the first time
57:06
tonight goes Utah.
57:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, really nice bro right on time too, and he
57:09
just gets it there, and great awareness by Ryan to
57:12
get the first down.
57:13
Speaker 1: Something lit a fire into this Utah offense. Maybe it
57:16
was getting that turnover. Here's Nate Johnson with it. Nate
57:19
on the left hand side, Nate's got the fifteen, Nate's
57:21
got the ten fumble and Wyoming falls on it at
57:26
their own three yard line. Oh, Johnson, Well, we've got
57:30
a flag down on the play too. Let's see if
57:33
this goes against Utah or Wyoming. The flag is at
57:39
about the seven. There was a fumble on the play.
57:42
It was on Nate Johnson.
57:45
Speaker 7: He really on the fields. A fumble recovered by the
57:48
defense during the play holding Utah number eighty eight, harp
57:53
peons a card purst out unbelievable.
57:58
Speaker 1: He didn't secure the foot ball, it got loose, it
58:01
got ripped out by this Desmond hearns and recovered at
58:07
the three yard line.
58:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll they're just stripping the ball, just going after
58:12
the ball, and you know you get in well, first
58:14
of all, you just never fumbled the ball, and when
58:16
you get into that contact area, you've got to have
58:18
that ball secure. And Nate gets twisted around. That's one
58:22
of the challenges with guys that aren't playing a lot.
58:24
You know, you show up late in the second quarter
58:27
and expected to make a big play, but it's just
58:29
hard when you haven't been.
58:30
Speaker 1: In Utah's first turnover of the season. Right there, at
58:33
an inopportune time, two to two to play, we'll have
58:37
the two minute time out. Momentarily, Anderson goes under center
58:41
from his own two yard line, make a three yard
58:43
line turning a GiB to Scott. Scott's going to be
58:45
wrapped up of the two and driven backwards. John Henry
58:50
Daily having himself a day here at Laramie that is,
58:55
drops him right at the line of scrim it's second
58:57
down in ten coming up, two minute time out. We'll
58:59
take at with him. It's Utah three Wyoming nothing. This
59:03
is Utah football for ESPN seven hundred and the Youth
59:06
Sports Radio Network and fifty eight to play here the
59:08
first half. Utah three Wyoming nothing. That's right, folks, three
59:12
nothing right now, Utah's offense has done everything but finished
59:15
drives turn overhard him on the last one too. We'll
59:18
be second down in ten, Wyoming from their own three
59:20
yard line. First half being brought to you by bud Light.
59:23
Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. Sure handed tailback
59:27
Sam Scott, the Omaha need even senior in the ballgame.
59:33
Cayden Anderson lines up in the shotgun about three yards
59:36
deep in his own end zone. Two receivers wide to
59:39
the left hand side, one to the right, Utah showing
59:44
a four man down rush. Anderson checking with the sideline.
59:51
Now and now he'll change it, move Scott to his
59:54
left on second down and ten hand off Scott through
59:59
the whole spins and time out picks up about five
1:00:02
yards to about the eight yard line. It'll be third
1:00:05
down coming up. Utah takes a time out with a
1:00:08
minute fifty two to play. Now, third down and five, Utah.
1:00:12
Speaker 7: Will take their second charge time on a half thirty seconds,
1:00:16
Please be set the game clock to one to fifty
1:00:18
four one five four.
1:00:21
Speaker 2: I don't think you know why always gonna get overly
1:00:23
creative here in this situation.
1:00:25
Speaker 3: Whatever they do, they you know.
1:00:28
Speaker 2: They got to feel like they've won this first half
1:00:30
with is four three three to nothing, and so you
1:00:33
don't want to give the ball back to them by
1:00:36
at least a turnover down here.
1:00:38
Speaker 3: So you're gonna get.
1:00:38
Speaker 2: Something quick, something and maybe run the ball again and
1:00:41
just hope you get a first down running it, because
1:00:44
you know, you know, you throw, you throw the ball
1:00:46
and you get in complete. Now, Utah has a lot
1:00:47
of time and a time out.
1:00:51
Speaker 1: If you're Utah, though, you cannot let them complete this
1:00:54
for a third down, first down opportunity. I still have
1:00:57
chance and points here on the first half. If you're Utah,
1:01:02
Utah will get the ball to begin the second half.
1:01:05
Third down and five for Wyoming the one out of
1:01:12
five on third down Anderson out of the shotgun, they
1:01:18
throw the bubble screen, and that wide receiver is very
1:01:22
close to first down yardage. He's going to be about
1:01:25
a half yard. Shy he got to the twelve. He
1:01:29
needed the thirteen. It'll be fourth down at about half
1:01:31
a yard here, as Utah takes a time out, will
1:01:36
we get a measurement?
1:01:38
Speaker 7: Utah, we'll take a third and final time out thirty seconds.
1:01:43
Speaker 1: Almost a full yard. I can't imagine Wyoming would go
1:01:46
for it here. The stranger things have happened. Final time
1:01:50
out taken by Utah would have minute forty seven to play.
1:01:53
Speaker 2: And again you got to feel like, if you're Wyoming,
1:01:55
you know you've won this first half. But like last week,
1:01:58
this is one of those if you punt it, you
1:02:00
can outpoint your coverage. Utah regardless should get good field position,
1:02:05
you know, at the fifty or or close to that,
1:02:08
or if they get a big run, even closer.
1:02:09
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, it's they're gonna run the punter out
1:02:13
here and ray Shawn Glover will stand it about in
1:02:15
midfield and missing will kick it from about three yards
1:02:18
deep in his end zone on fourth and three quarters
1:02:21
of a yard.
1:02:23
Speaker 3: And you could fake it right here, I mean you could.
1:02:31
Speaker 1: Are they going to get a review?
1:02:32
Speaker 7: Now, let's take the second charge. How about a half
1:02:36
thirty seconds?
1:02:39
Speaker 1: I think they might be asking for a review to
1:02:42
see if he got that first down. Yeah, I don't
1:02:44
know now his hand went down and forearm went down
1:02:47
short of the marker. We just saw it on the replay.
1:02:52
I mean it's worth a shot, you know. Sure he
1:02:54
had that time out. You're not going to take it
1:02:56
to the locker room. Let's see where the oooh no, no, no,
1:02:59
he's short.
1:03:00
Speaker 2: These officials have been very favorable to Wyoming in his
1:03:03
first half.
1:03:05
Speaker 1: Christian Watson is our referee here today.
1:03:09
Speaker 2: Down short, he's more than a yard, actually, at least
1:03:14
the yard.
1:03:16
Speaker 3: He's down right there.
1:03:22
Speaker 1: Are we going to get a review? Nope, we are not.
1:03:25
No putter will come out Rayshon Glover will stand just
1:03:28
on his side of midfield. Had a fifty one yard
1:03:30
return last week against cal Poly. Really, what you need
1:03:34
him to do, as much as anything here is just
1:03:36
to catch it. But if he can get up field
1:03:39
and pick up five, ten, fifteen yards, all the better.
1:03:43
Fourth down and about a yard snap back to the punter,
1:03:50
no pressure, gets the kick away. It's a good one too.
1:03:52
It's gonna drive Glover back and he's going to take
1:03:55
it at his own thirty one and up the near sideline.
1:03:57
He comes, stutter steps, stays in bounds forty five fifty
1:04:00
forty five forty flag flies thirty twenty five, twenty to
1:04:05
the fifteen, to the ten and out of bounds. But
1:04:07
this one may come back. There's one, two, three flags
1:04:10
on the field right now and this is likely coming
1:04:13
back with a minute twenty eight to play. Let's see
1:04:16
what the referee says. My guess is a block of
1:04:18
the back. We'll see, well, a lot of guys.
1:04:22
Speaker 3: In the return holding Utah.
1:04:25
Speaker 7: We'll Brady nine, Senior Pampasa the foul first down.
1:04:30
Speaker 1: Tight end Antotilla got called for the hold spot of
1:04:34
the foul, and so it's in about the wyoming forty five.
1:04:37
So Utah should start first and ten at their own
1:04:40
forty yard line. Still very doable here for Devin and
1:04:44
this offense with a minute twenty eight to play. Now,
1:04:47
if they're gonna started their own forty five rogers the tailback,
1:04:53
two receivers right, two receivers left. Utah has piled up
1:05:00
yardage in this first half. They just don't have much
1:05:02
to show for it on the scoreboard. Out of the shotgun,
1:05:06
Devin dam Pierre back pedals to throw outside, caught just
1:05:12
on the other side of midfield, Ryan Davis with another
1:05:14
grab for Utah. Davis now with six catches in about
1:05:19
sixty two yards in the first half.
1:05:20
Speaker 2: Time is your enemy here, So get the ball, get
1:05:24
out of bounds and get to the next play.
1:05:26
Speaker 1: Gain of six on first down for Davis. Damp Peer
1:05:31
to pass on second down outside again, caught again Davis
1:05:34
again and this time good for first down yardage a
1:05:38
gain of seven. Moved the chains first down Utah with
1:05:41
a minute twenty one to play. Davis got out of bounds.
1:05:43
Speaker 2: Is they're really jumping that route right there and they
1:05:45
should go the out and up. That safety comes down
1:05:48
and it's a it's a home run.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: Parker the tail back. Three receivers left, one to the right.
1:05:53
On first and ten for the YO forty four. Damp
1:05:56
Peer to pass again, looking to the left, looking down
1:05:59
the going down the field, looking for merryweather Well covered
1:06:05
out of bounds. He goes and incomplete goes the pass.
1:06:08
They were trying for that ball up the sideline, didn't
1:06:10
get it. Second down in ten clock stops with a
1:06:12
minute fourteen to play.
1:06:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not in love with that play.
1:06:14
Speaker 2: They got three wide receivers into the boundary, and it's
1:06:18
just it's just easier to cover a lot of traffic
1:06:20
out there, more space against those guys. It's tough.
1:06:24
Speaker 1: So second down and ten now Rogers the tailback. Three
1:06:27
receivers on the right, this time Merriweather by himself to
1:06:30
the left. Poor man rush for Wyoming. Dan Pierce gonna
1:06:34
scramble out to his right. Flag down on the play.
1:06:36
That's going to be a hold against Utah, and this
1:06:38
one's going to come back ten more yards. I think
1:06:42
they're gonna get Spencer Fono, the All American right tackle
1:06:44
for the hold. Ride here.
1:06:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's tough because holding offense number fifty
1:06:52
five team yarn Pillder made a second down. I'm just
1:06:57
telling you a guy fell down. I don't know if
1:06:59
he's really held, and these officials are just seeing kind
1:07:02
of a fall down part of night. He kind of
1:07:04
threw him to the ground.
1:07:05
Speaker 1: Six penalties, sixty eight yards down for Utah and it's
1:07:08
second down in twenty all the way back at their
1:07:10
own forty five yard line. Penalties have absolutely killed Utah today,
1:07:15
and that one turnover at the three yard line a
1:07:18
minute eight to play, still an eternity here for Utah.
1:07:22
Devin Dampier in the shotgun again, back pedals to throw
1:07:28
lots of time, scrambles out to his rights, still looking
1:07:32
down the field, launching down the Field's got a man
1:07:34
open down the field and that's going to be pass interference.
1:07:38
Dallan Bentley, same place, snuck out on a week or
1:07:41
so ago, gets just tackled down at about the twelve
1:07:44
yard line. That'll be fifteen yards and a first down
1:07:47
for Utah as he got way behind the defense. But
1:07:51
that's a smart penalty by Wyoming because it's only fifteen yards. Yeah,
1:07:54
well Jones Thomas was the man who ran into him.
1:07:57
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's unfortunate. Scot like this defense. I'm a twenty
1:08:01
three kipty on pelty. You're automatic first down. That's where
1:08:06
it hurts Wyoming. He's automatic first down. But Devin's got
1:08:09
to stay in the pocket. There's there's no one there.
1:08:11
Speaker 2: Just stay in the pocket and an escape lake because
1:08:15
you can escape lake when you do it early. You
1:08:17
just you give the defense of the advantage. You take
1:08:19
away half the field when you do that. If you
1:08:21
stay in the pocket, you can throw all across the field.
1:08:24
You gotta feel that and just be confident that you're
1:08:28
no one's gonna get you.
1:08:31
Speaker 1: First and ten for the wyoming forty yard line. Fifty
1:08:34
seven seconds left to the first half game clock. Damp
1:08:37
Pier out of the gun again. Four man rush again outside,
1:08:40
caught inside the thirty five and down to about the
1:08:43
thirty four yard line, but he stayed in bounds. That
1:08:46
was Dallan Bentley. T tick tick goes the clock down
1:08:48
to forty five and forty four, forty three, forty two,
1:08:52
forty one. Utah has got a hurry here. They're not
1:08:54
gonna dead. They're not gonna kill it. They'll run another play.
1:08:57
Damp Pier to pass, looking again, throw it again to
1:09:00
the outside, caught again, kill it, and that's gonna be
1:09:03
a first down. That will stop it for a moment
1:09:05
inside to thirty to about the twenty eight yard line.
1:09:07
Let's see if Utah kills it. With thirty two seconds
1:09:09
to play, Miller had the coverage on Bentley again. They're
1:09:13
gonna run another play here, pressure coming, blitz coming, stepping,
1:09:18
throwing outside. Caught huh but out of bounds.
1:09:22
Speaker 3: I mean, this is great. I don't know.
1:09:23
Speaker 1: I was a catch by JJ Buchanan, but he was
1:09:25
out of bound. Clock stops with twenty three seconds to play,
1:09:28
and again.
1:09:28
Speaker 3: You're into the boundary.
1:09:30
Speaker 2: Like they've called three plays with trips into the boundary.
1:09:32
It's like it's just there's just not a longer room
1:09:35
there as of a grab. Oh, it's an unbelievable grab.
1:09:37
But if he has another yard, it's a great play.
1:09:41
Speaker 1: Second down in ten, twenty three seconds to play for
1:09:43
the twenty eight of Wyoming, damp Pierre out of the gun,
1:09:47
Rogers next to him, blitz coming. Rogers picks it up.
1:09:51
Damp Pierre's scrambling still keeping the play alive out to
1:09:54
his right hand side, throwing down the field incomplete with
1:09:57
fifteen now fourteen seconds remaining, trying to find Tobias Merriweather.
1:10:04
That took almost nine seconds off the clock. And now
1:10:07
it's third down and ten.
1:10:09
Speaker 2: See And that's the hard part with Devin because he
1:10:11
kills a lot of climb a lot of time because
1:10:13
he scrambles and night right here, you could scramble yourself
1:10:16
out of the first half. Got to throw it quick
1:10:18
and get it out of bounds, or try to get.
1:10:20
Speaker 1: The first down four out of nine on third down,
1:10:23
third and ten for the yo twenty eight, Dampear to
1:10:28
pass four man rush, a lot of time stepping outside, throwing,
1:10:33
was it caught out of bounds? Incomplete? Another great grab
1:10:39
by a tight end Dallan Bentley, but he was out
1:10:41
of bounds and again into the boundary again. That'll bring
1:10:44
up fourth down and for a fourth time tonight, Dylan
1:10:46
Curtis is going to attempt a field goal here. He's
1:10:50
won for three. This will be his longest attempt for
1:10:53
the forty six yards.
1:10:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got to kick this one right down Broadway,
1:10:57
you know, don't overthink it, just relax, Just put.
1:11:01
Speaker 3: It right down the middle.
1:11:02
Speaker 1: Could be the final play of the first half and
1:11:05
the time I've taken by Wyoming.
1:11:07
Speaker 3: A little gamesmanship.
1:11:09
Speaker 7: Wyoming will take their third and final time all of
1:11:11
the half thirty seconds all right.
1:11:15
Speaker 1: Curtis came into the game one for one on field
1:11:19
goals on the year. He hit that fifty four yarder
1:11:21
against UCLA and he made his first one, but he's
1:11:24
missed his last two and so a chance for a
1:11:28
little bit of retribution here in redemption on the final
1:11:32
play of the first half.
1:11:35
Speaker 2: Well, he's a he's a young kid, you know, and
1:11:37
he and he's still growing and learning and learning how
1:11:40
to be mentally tough. And you know, and that first
1:11:43
kick got in his head and then he tried to
1:11:44
overkick it the second.
1:11:45
Speaker 3: One, and and uh, you know, he's just he's just
1:11:49
got it.
1:11:49
Speaker 2: These are good These are good games for him to
1:11:52
learn some mental toughness.
1:11:53
Speaker 1: The good news here is there's no win.
1:11:54
Speaker 3: Do you know right now? It's perfect? Yeah, So just
1:11:57
be confident and just put it right through the.
1:11:59
Speaker 1: Middle, just in the left hash for Dylan Curtis. It'll
1:12:02
go down at the thirty six of Wyoming a forty
1:12:05
six yard attempts with eight seconds to play. The Curtis
1:12:14
is ready, good snap, good hold, the kick is away
1:12:19
and it's blocked. Wyoming blocks the kick. A disastrous first
1:12:26
half for the Utah special teams on a block field goal,
1:12:30
and with three seconds left the Cowboys will get it back. Goodness.
1:12:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, that just wasn't a good kick. I mean, they
1:12:39
didn't get a lot of pressure there.
1:12:42
Speaker 2: That just that ball just kind of went right into
1:12:44
the It's almost like he's just kind of guiding it
1:12:46
through there.
1:12:47
Speaker 3: That would have been.
1:12:48
Speaker 1: Really interesting to hear what Kyle Whittingham has to say.
1:12:50
Go into the locker.
1:12:51
Speaker 3: Room and it looked like it might have been off target.
1:12:54
Speaker 1: Even at that, Utah has two hundred and seventy two
1:12:58
yards of offense here the first half and just three
1:13:01
points penalties, turnovers, missed field goals. Anderson's gonna take a
1:13:08
knee and that will take us to halftime here at
1:13:10
War Memorials Stadium. Doesn't appear that TV will get whit first.
1:13:15
I don't think, okay, I guess they will. Three nothing
1:13:25
Utah at the half from a yardage standpoint, A great
1:13:33
first half. Let's go downstairs to slide, slide, go ahead, coach.
1:13:36
Speaker 6: Three hundred yards of offense but only three points. What
1:13:39
are you saying from Wyomi's defense?
1:13:40
Speaker 8: It's pretty ridiculous, isn't it. We got seventy yards in penalties,
1:13:44
so we gotta get that fitch. We gotta turn over
1:13:46
in the red zone. Playing lights out on defense and
1:13:49
horribly on special teams.
1:13:51
Speaker 5: What do we need to do in the second half
1:13:52
they're finish.
1:13:53
Speaker 8: You gotta get the ball in the end zone. You
1:13:54
we're moving it up and down the field. You gotta
1:13:56
get in the end zone pace coach.
1:13:59
Speaker 1: Yep, couldn't be said any better. Clear and succinct from
1:14:03
Kyle Whittingham three nothing Utah. That sideline update brought to
1:14:06
you by Ken Garth. We hear you. It's halftime here
1:14:10
at war Memorial Stadium and Laramie, Wyoming, Utah three and
1:14:14
Wyoming nothing coming up the America First Credit Union halftime
1:14:17
show from ESPN seven hundred and the Ute Sports Radio Network.
1:14:21
Edmison will kick it off here. No wind and really
1:14:25
no rain here after early this afternoon, but a good
1:14:29
night for football here at Laramie. Ray Shawn Glover back
1:14:31
deep to receive the kick. It's high, it's end over it,
1:14:33
it's returnable, and he will bring it out from the
1:14:36
four yard line across the fifteen. He's to the twenty. Nope,
1:14:39
he didn't get to the twenty yard line. Swarmed under
1:14:43
at about the eighteen yard line. They'll give him seventeen
1:14:45
yard line. Goodness gracious. If he kept going straight ahead,
1:14:48
he easily had the twenty. Tried to bounce outside and
1:14:51
Wyoming was ready. So it's gonna be an eighty three
1:14:54
yard field here for Utah. And they've had no problem
1:14:57
moving it between the twenties. They've stalled out just outside
1:15:01
the red zone. Dam Pierre will come out with Hunter
1:15:05
Andrews on his left hand side. He stacks three receivers
1:15:07
on the right hand side of the formation. On first
1:15:09
down and ten of the Utah seventeen, Devin brings a
1:15:14
man in motion. Now he dumps it in the flat
1:15:16
to Hunter Andrews, who's got the twenty. He's got the
1:15:18
twenty five, he's got the thirty and out of bounds
1:15:21
at about the thirty one yard line for a gain
1:15:23
of fourteen and a first down. That's Hunter Andrews. Jones
1:15:26
Thomas forced him out of bounds. Get him the ball.
1:15:29
That kid makes place.
1:15:30
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean he gets around the edge and
1:15:31
you know it's fifteen twenty yards on a play, and
1:15:33
that's a chunk play right there.
1:15:35
Speaker 3: First down.
1:15:36
Speaker 1: Great call, fourteen on first down for Utah. All the
1:15:39
way after their thirty one Andrews stains of the ballgame
1:15:44
for Utah. They handed the Hunter this time he's got
1:15:46
running room to the outside thirty five forty stutter step
1:15:49
to the outside forty five and to the forty seven
1:15:52
yard line, goes Hunter Andrews. Do we have a flag
1:15:58
down behind the play? We do? And I think this
1:15:59
is coming back. Everybody walking backwards here, including the Utah offense.
1:16:06
That would have been a seventeen yard game for Hunter Andrews.
1:16:09
Speaker 2: Well, you have to wonder if he got the game
1:16:11
because of the holding or if it was non related to.
1:16:15
Speaker 7: The flavor holding defense tenor pelty.
1:16:20
Speaker 1: Oh well, wait a minute, Oh, is it tacked on
1:16:25
to the end. It is, that's tacked on to the
1:16:27
end of the run. So pretty much the sixteen yard
1:16:30
run goes for Hunter Andrews. They'll tack on ten more
1:16:34
all the way to the YO forty four yard line.
1:16:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got to be pretty egregious to get defensive holding.
1:16:40
Speaker 3: A lot of times they'll do it.
1:16:41
Speaker 7: They'll put a stock the foul is a number eighteen
1:16:43
of Wyomings.
1:16:44
Speaker 3: Wow, they get.
1:16:45
Speaker 1: The foul on number eighteen for Wyoming. We'll check that
1:16:50
number in a minute. First and ten for Damn Pier
1:16:52
and the Utes. They're gonna hand it to Andrews again.
1:16:54
Hunter goes straight ahead. He picks up a couple down
1:16:58
to about the forty two yard line. Wyo was ready
1:17:01
for at that time. Second down in eight coming up.
1:17:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting Utah has chosen to go to Hunter
1:17:09
Andrews here as their feature guy. I mean Wayshan and
1:17:13
Nick Carrie are great runners here, but they're going to Hunter.
1:17:18
Speaker 1: Second down in eight, damp Pierre stands alone, brings a
1:17:21
man in motion, looks down the field, throws down the field,
1:17:24
caught thirty twenty seven yard line goes to Bias Merriweather
1:17:29
and Utah might have got away with one there. Looked
1:17:31
like the wide receiver turned up field a little quickly,
1:17:34
but anyway, fifteen yard gaining the first down to the
1:17:37
Wyoming twenty seven.
1:17:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are those candy candy store throws. Just go
1:17:42
in and you want one of everything, and everybody's open.
1:17:45
Speaker 1: Three receivers left. Andrews stays in the backfield. On first
1:17:47
and ten for the Wyoming twenty five twenty seven, damp
1:17:50
Pier backpedals to pass, throwing down the sidelines. Got a
1:17:53
man out there broken up. He was trying to get
1:17:56
that to JJ Buchanan Desmond. Hearns had the cover. It'll
1:18:00
be second down in ten. Yeah, this is tough throw.
1:18:03
I mean, it's just kind of a fifty to fifty ball.
1:18:05
Looks like he could have got the ball up field
1:18:06
maybe just a little bit more. Throws it kind of
1:18:09
towards the sideline there, and yeah, it's a little short.
1:18:13
Speaker 3: He should have. Should have If he gets it up
1:18:15
in the air a little bit more, it's an easier catch.
1:18:19
Speaker 1: Second down in ten for the twenty eight of Wyoming.
1:18:21
Roger's detail back now handed to him straight ahead. Nope,
1:18:25
Devin keeps it out on the edge inside. He goes
1:18:27
down to about the twenty four yard line, goes Devin
1:18:31
damp Pierre for a game of four. Third down coming
1:18:33
up would open field tackle by Andrew Johnson's he tried
1:18:36
to cut it back inside.
1:18:37
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:18:38
Speaker 2: I thought he's gonna slip by him right there. And
1:18:39
that was a great, great because Devin had set him
1:18:42
up very nicely. Great read here, and the end crashes.
1:18:44
He comes around the edge and he just oh, just
1:18:46
so close there.
1:18:48
Speaker 1: Third down and almost seven here for Utah, and they
1:18:50
got to get to the Wyoming eighteen.
1:18:52
Speaker 3: This might be two down with the way the kickers
1:18:54
get it.
1:18:56
Speaker 1: Damp Pierre stands by himself and now brings Andrews across
1:18:59
the four. May he'll keep it himself into the open field.
1:19:02
Twenty fifteen to ten. Cuts back to the inside and
1:19:05
down at the Wyoming two yard line goes Devin damp
1:19:08
He Here Jones Thomas made the touchdown, saving tackle. It's
1:19:12
first in goal for the Utes.
1:19:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good to see you tak getting back to
1:19:16
this type of running.
1:19:17
Speaker 1: You know.
1:19:17
Speaker 2: It's just that straight ahead, not a lot of counter,
1:19:20
not a lot of on the edge stuff. Great job
1:19:22
by Devin to get through the line of scrimmage and
1:19:26
avoid that contact. He's running so hard that it allows
1:19:29
him to pop through there and then and then make
1:19:31
the big.
1:19:32
Speaker 1: Play second time in the can you give you credit?
1:19:34
Union red zone today, jumbo sets damp Pierre turns gives
1:19:39
the Rogers, pushing his way forward to the one stopped
1:19:43
at about the half yard line after a one and
1:19:44
a half yard game and second down in gold coming
1:19:50
up here for Utah going with that jumbo set again
1:19:57
with Talonga as the full back. He'll stay in the
1:20:01
ball game semi to Lawonga Rogers, Dallan Bentley and damp
1:20:07
Pier under center. Devin Turns gives to Rogers. He plows
1:20:11
his way forward. He won't get there, stopped at about
1:20:14
the one foot line now to be third down in goal.
1:20:20
Excellent work up front by the wyoming front makes it
1:20:23
third down in goal. Siebamna help with the tackle.
1:20:27
Speaker 2: It's all about leverage and you get high and you
1:20:31
get pushed back.
1:20:32
Speaker 3: It's he who is the lowest wins. Gotta get low.
1:20:35
Speaker 1: Well, this Utah offensive line prides itself on toughness. Third
1:20:39
down and inches to go from the goal line, damp
1:20:43
Pier under center, Rogers behind him. They hand it to him.
1:20:47
Rogers into the end zone off the right side, and
1:20:50
that's a touchdown. Nakari Rodgers finds pay dirt and Utah
1:20:56
opens up the second half with a purpose and punches
1:20:59
it into the end zone for the first time tonight
1:21:01
from a half a yard out.
1:21:03
Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's where the sun doesn't shine is
1:21:06
where that's where that ball ended up is where the.
1:21:08
Speaker 3: Sun doesn't shine.
1:21:09
Speaker 2: It's apparently in the south end zone here at War Memorial.
1:21:13
But great, great effort, just a great drive and everything
1:21:16
is just attacking and going forward.
1:21:18
Speaker 3: This pat will be important for this mindset of this kicker.
1:21:21
Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis, who went one out of four on field
1:21:24
goals in the first half, duels the pat through that touchdown,
1:21:28
a Pepsi touchdown, capping a nine play, eighty three yard
1:21:32
big boy needed drive for Utah and they cap it
1:21:36
off with a touchdown time out on the field with
1:21:37
ten forty six to play here in the third, it's
1:21:39
Utah ten Wyoming nothing. And this is Utah football from
1:21:43
ESPN seven hundred to youth sports radio networks that could
1:21:47
laer me a big ex sale as a Utah offense
1:21:50
opens the second half with their first touchdown drive of
1:21:52
the night to make it ten to nothing. Second half
1:21:54
being brought to you by Minkey Cotur not only football season,
1:21:57
but blanket season. It's your Minkeey Cote blankets onliner in
1:22:01
any of their six locations. Bill Riley, Scott, Mitchell upstairs,
1:22:05
Stevens and Sylvester downstairs. Hunter Andrews really the star of
1:22:10
that last drive along with Devin Dan Pierre Dam Pierre
1:22:13
now eleven carries seventy five yards, Andrews three catches thirty
1:22:18
one yards and we'll see if Dylan Curtis can get
1:22:22
this one through the end zone. Max White back to
1:22:27
receive the kick and this will not be returned. First
1:22:31
and ten at to twenty five is where Wyoming will
1:22:33
begin second half tonight. Being brought to you by University

1:22:44
if you can get a stop as they did in
1:22:45
the first half, be huge here for this Utah just
1:22:48
the whole psyche of this Utah football team.
1:22:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really important though, to just keep that energy
1:22:52
up again. Tight man coverage and come after this quarterback.
1:22:57
Speaker 1: Anderson. The quarterback brings a wide receiver in Oh shit,
1:23:01
first and ten hand off, picking his way forward Kellerman
1:23:07
for about a gain of three to the twenty eight
1:23:09
yard line. Get a little bit of a gap there,
1:23:11
It closed quickly. Good job of the Utah defense led
1:23:15
by Lander Barton coming up on the tackle on that play.
1:23:17
Speaker 2: Sometimes you overrun the play on those stretch plays and
1:23:22
over a round just a little bit to get.
1:23:23
Speaker 3: A little bit of yardage.
1:23:25
Speaker 1: Second down and seven for the Cowboys. Four man down
1:23:28
front for Utah. Seven in the box with three linebackers
1:23:30
in the ball game down for the Utes. Gonna hand
1:23:32
it to Kellerman again, and Kellerman again, this time stacked
1:23:35
up in the twenty four John Henry Daily there, Nate
1:23:39
Ritchie up from his safety spot as well, Gonna bring
1:23:42
up third down and five.
1:23:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, really interesting, somewhat conservative here by Wyoming, you know,
1:23:49
coming out running football, especially when any kind of success
1:23:52
they had was throwing the football. Probably get a little
1:23:54
play action here, move the quarterback. I'd still I'd come
1:23:58
after him a little.
1:23:59
Speaker 1: Bit, cowboy. One out of six on third down of
1:24:01
the ball game, they stacked three receivers to the right
1:24:03
hand side Anderson in the shotgun. He'll backpedal to pass.
1:24:07
Anderson looks surveys after the right throws man open and
1:24:11
caught out near the forty five yard line, Chris Durr.
1:24:18
They'll mark him out at the forty three. It's a
1:24:21
gain of fifteen and a first down for Wyoming. He
1:24:24
had all day to throw.
1:24:25
Speaker 2: He had all day and two guys were covering one
1:24:28
and one of those guys should have been out there.
1:24:29
Speaker 3: Shouldn't have been opened.
1:24:33
Speaker 1: First down, Wyoming converting their second third down of the
1:24:36
night from their own forty three yard line. Shotgun formation
1:24:40
again for Anderson. He'll pass again, Blitz coming outside with
1:24:44
the throw overshot his man badly. He was trying to
1:24:47
get that ball to dur again. Stoten had good coverage
1:24:49
on him and the pressure was coming from the outside. Yeah,
1:24:52
I just you know, I don't see these receivers just
1:24:55
blowing you to off the ball. I mean they got
1:24:56
a challenge him even more.
1:24:58
Speaker 2: I know I keep saying this, but you know in
1:25:01
games pass you saw he's just done a nice job
1:25:03
of getting pressure with four men.
1:25:04
Speaker 3: But they're not right now.
1:25:07
Speaker 1: Anderson now five of thirteen for seventy one yards of
1:25:10
the ballgame. He goes under center on second down and
1:25:13
ten kill him in the tailback stretch hand off and
1:25:20
he gets stacked up in a line of scrimmage. It
1:25:23
was Trey Reynolds who shot the gap. It was Nate
1:25:25
Ritchie who made the tackle. No gain on second down.
1:25:29
It to be third down and ten. Yeah, that's a
1:25:31
nice read right there.
1:25:32
Speaker 2: Just you know, you play downhill, play fast, you get
1:25:35
through that gap before they can't get to you. It's
1:25:37
just so hard to get that running game going.
1:25:39
Speaker 1: Tote Harris checks in the talented freshman. He can catch
1:25:43
it out of the backfield. Two out of seven on
1:25:46
third down are the Cowboys out of the shotgun Caden Anderson,
1:25:51
three receivers left. Here comes the pressure. Anderson steps looks,
1:25:55
fires outside, caught by Harris, but he goes down After
1:25:59
just a short game to about the forty four yard line.
1:26:02
He had some running room and he was open, but
1:26:04
the turf monster got him and that'll bring up fourth
1:26:06
down at about eight, and I think Wyoming will bring
1:26:09
out the punt team. They will still a close scheme
1:26:11
as we get to midway through the third quarter here
1:26:13
with eight fifteen to play.
1:26:15
Speaker 2: You know, didn't get to him, but you got him
1:26:17
to move, and this quarterback when he has to move,
1:26:19
just gets a whole lot less accurate. And on that
1:26:23
throw right there, you know, if he's sitting in the pocket,
1:26:25
he has time. He hits it and he makes you know,
1:26:27
probably gets a first down, but because he had to move,
1:26:29
it's a bad throw and Utah gets the ball back.
1:26:32
Speaker 1: Edmonston on to punt, he'll kick it straight away. Ray
1:26:35
Sewn Glover is gonna let that one go over his head.
1:26:37
It's gonna hit in the end zone and roll out
1:26:40
for a touchback. I think Edmonston just overhit that one
1:26:43
fifty five yard punt no return, and Utah will get
1:26:46
it back first and ten at their own twenty when
1:26:48
we get back with seven forty seven to play here
1:26:51
in the third quarter, Utah ten and Wyoming nothing from

1:27:09
was here, they won thirty to six back in twenty ten.
1:27:13
Now it's ten to nothing, Utah out gaining Wyoming three
1:27:16
hundred and forty yards to ninety eight. They opened the
1:27:19
dress second half up with an eighty three yard touchdown drive.
1:27:21
We'll see what they could do right here, first and
1:27:23
ten from their own twenty yard line.
1:27:26
Speaker 3: I haven't seen a lot from Wayshawn Parker.
1:27:29
Speaker 1: Oh, he's in the ballgame right now. He's got two
1:27:31
carries for twenty seven yards ye and one catch for
1:27:35
four yards. He just doesn't have a ton of touches. Tonight,
1:27:39
Rogers has twelve carries, fifty eight damp here eleven carries,
1:27:43
seventy five first and ten. Wayshawn Parker is in the ballgame.
1:27:51
Strength to the left hand side. Devin dan Pierre's gonna
1:27:54
keep it up the field, bouncing inside, bouncing outside, and
1:27:56
it'll step out of bounds into the Utah sideline. After
1:27:59
a seven yard game forced out of bounds by Andrew
1:28:02
Johnson seven on first down.
1:28:04
Speaker 2: That's been that play kind of on that edge, you know,
1:28:07
where it bounces just outside the tackle tight end box
1:28:11
has been consistently the best play Utah has running football.
1:28:14
Speaker 1: Second down in three now for the twenty seven yard
1:28:16
line clock running it's seven and a half to play.
1:28:18
Midway through the third quarter year in Laramie, tight end
1:28:22
in motion, hand off, straight ahead, way Sean Parker bounces
1:28:25
off one tackle and pinballs forward for a game of
1:28:28
four to the thirty one in a first down. Andrew
1:28:31
Johnson's been a busy guy here in the second half.
1:28:33
Another tackle for the boundary safety.
1:28:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is again just straight ahead and was
1:28:39
Shan because he's just got so much motion, you know,
1:28:42
he drives to the first down.
1:28:43
Speaker 1: Twenty one first downs down for the Utah offense. They
1:28:46
motioned the back out of the backfield and now they're
1:28:48
going to run the ball forward, and that was way
1:28:51
Sean Parker using himself as kind of the wildcat. They
1:28:54
motioned dam peer out and Parker picks up six yards
1:28:58
out to the thirty seven thirty eight yard line.
1:29:00
Speaker 3: I asked where was Shan was? And Jason Beck says, well,
1:29:03
he's right.
1:29:03
Speaker 1: Here, Jason sit right next to you in the booth
1:29:05
next to us here, said we'll get him some touches.
1:29:09
Second down in about four yards to go here for Utah,
1:29:13
damp here at quarterback Ryan Davis, one wide receiver Tobias Merriweather.
1:29:18
The other was Shan Parker in the right slot, Wyoming
1:29:23
showing four at the line of scrimmage. They handed to
1:29:25
Parker Wasy Shan forty and down to about the forty
1:29:28
two almost forty three yard line for a game of
1:29:31
five and then another Utah first down twenty two first downs.
1:29:33
Now for Utah, Vas made the tackle, the nose tackle
1:29:38
and SBS.
1:29:40
Speaker 2: Kind of an interesting thing, you know. They split out
1:29:43
was Shan. They have him in the backfield, they run
1:29:45
him at quarterback, and he's touching the ball in all
1:29:47
different kinds of formations.
1:29:50
Speaker 1: First down in ten Utah from their own forty two
1:29:54
five fifty to play here in the third quarter, damp
1:29:57
Here to throw in the flat. He's got a man open,
1:29:59
but not much then that time. Hunter Andrews was wrapped
1:30:02
up and taken down after about a two yard game
1:30:06
tackle of the play by Desmond Hearns, who's been busy
1:30:09
today at that nickel spot. Second down to nine coming up.
1:30:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that play, maybe Devin needs to let it
1:30:14
develop just a little bit more. It is almost so
1:30:16
quick to get in the ball, the defense didn't really
1:30:19
have a chance to define itself.
1:30:22
Speaker 1: Parker comes in motion across the formation, gets it again.
1:30:25
Wai Shan bounces to the outside fifty and down at
1:30:28
the forty nine yard line of Wyoming for a gain
1:30:30
of eight yards. They gets seven yards third down and
1:30:34
two coming up. Jones Thomas free safety made the tackle.
1:30:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that was almost a big busted play, might
1:30:41
have gone for a touchdown. But that off tackle stuff
1:30:45
is just it's just like I said, it just keeps
1:30:47
showing up and shown up in this drive about three
1:30:50
or fourth of the five or six plays that they've.
1:30:52
Speaker 1: Run, Utah six out of twelve on third down two
1:30:56
for two on this drive, Devn's by himself in the backfield.
1:31:00
He's gonna run it straight ahead and get the first down.
1:31:02
Punches it through and down to the Wyoming forty five
1:31:05
yard line. Damn Pier now thirteen carries for eighty five yards.
1:31:10
Miller made the tackle for the corner spot another Utah
1:31:13
first down. They've got twenty three now here in the
1:31:15
ball game.
1:31:16
Speaker 2: Almost feels like when it matters most ball's gonna get
1:31:19
in Devin Dampierre's hands somehow and where he's got to
1:31:22
make a decision or.
1:31:24
Speaker 3: Make a play, and he and he and he.
1:31:25
Speaker 1: Does Rogers in the ball game for the first time.
1:31:28
On this drive, Nakari as Devin looks to throw, steps
1:31:32
up over the middle and turfed it as he got
1:31:35
hit as he threw trying to get it.
1:31:38
Speaker 7: There's no foul for a tis La Brown name number
1:31:41
eighty eight, was in the area.
1:31:42
Speaker 1: Try to get to bleed second.
1:31:44
Speaker 2: Down, guy's draped all over his ankles. Try to throw
1:31:48
a pass right there. It kind of felt like he
1:31:50
was throwing it away just a little bit. You know.
1:31:52
Sometimes you get a first down and get past the
1:31:54
fifty yard line, a lot of times teams will blitch
1:31:56
you trying to back you up.
1:31:58
Speaker 1: Seg it down and ten for the wyoming forty five
1:32:00
five yard line. JJ Buchanan in motion. Damn, Pire's gonna
1:32:04
throw again in the flat. He's got Parker out there
1:32:06
straight ahead. Forty thirty five flags fly. This is gonna
1:32:10
be a hold and it's coming back Spencer Fano is
1:32:14
gonna get called for his second hold of the night.
1:32:17
Four flags flew on that play. They were all in
1:32:19
Spencer Fano's direction.
1:32:21
Speaker 3: Blocking the back.
1:32:23
Speaker 7: Offense number fifty five senior playing for the small the
1:32:26
foul second.
1:32:28
Speaker 1: Down again penalties killing Utah. That was a big play.
1:32:31
I'm not sure if that big play happens without the
1:32:33
block in the back, but and.
1:32:34
Speaker 2: They set it up good, you know, It's just it's
1:32:36
just a little unfortunate. He's hustling out there and and
1:32:40
way Shawn just it's just it's just unfortunate.
1:32:42
Speaker 3: That was close. I mean it's a great effort play.
1:32:44
Speaker 2: I mean, Spencer Fano is almost out to the numbers
1:32:48
blocking on a screen, which is awesome.
1:32:50
Speaker 1: It was five yards down.
1:32:51
Speaker 7: Please just set the game clock to four to twelve.
1:32:54
Speaker 1: Four one two second down in fifteen is they back
1:32:57
it up to midfield? It was a spot now penalty.
1:33:02
Parker stays in the ballgame, damp pier in the shotgun.
1:33:05
He splits three receivers wide to the left hand side.
1:33:07
He'll back pedal to pass pressure in his face, throws
1:33:10
to the outside. It's caught. He's got a man. Ryan
1:33:12
Davis picks up the yardage lost all the way down
1:33:15
to the thirty five yard line, and that's gonna be
1:33:18
very close to first down yardage. Let's see, they're gonna
1:33:22
mark him about do they mark it? Yeah, they give
1:33:24
it to him. That's gonna be a first down. He's
1:33:26
needed fifteen and he picked up fifteen.
1:33:28
Speaker 2: That's a bad spot. Even I thought he got past
1:33:31
the thirty five. But nice play. What's great is he
1:33:34
catches the ball, just gets right of field. Boom, just
1:33:36
gold field.
1:33:37
Speaker 1: First in ten for the Wyoming Cowboy thirty five yard
1:33:39
line hand off way Sean Parker spins, moves good, flag
1:33:45
flies and we're gonna get a holding penalty on Michael Mokafisi.
1:33:48
Speaker 2: Now are they really holding penalties or it's interesting some
1:33:56
officials just.
1:33:57
Speaker 7: Like over all fits in the fifty two Senior penalty
1:34:03
mays first down.
1:34:05
Speaker 1: That's two holding penalties on this drive. Utah now has
1:34:08
eight penalties for eighty three yards in this contest. Wyoming
1:34:12
three penalties for thirty yards.
1:34:15
Speaker 2: You know, you know, he's in great position and they
1:34:18
just they're wrapping their arms around the outside.
1:34:20
Speaker 3: You got to keep those arms in.
1:34:23
Speaker 1: First down in twenty all the way back in the
1:34:25
Wyoming forty five yard line, Dampier and Rodgers in the backfield.
1:34:30
Two tights and two wides on first down and twenty
1:34:33
Jackson Benny in the ball game, Jackson Benny down the field.
1:34:36
They try to throw it in the flat instead. That's
1:34:38
Lander Barton who catches and rolls down. How far did
1:34:43
he get? He didn't get very much. He got two
1:34:45
yards to about the forty three yard line.
1:34:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, this place should have been a lot more.
1:34:50
Speaker 2: I'm in here and cover two and they got a
1:34:51
guy going to the corner which is Jackson Benny, and
1:34:53
then Barton to the flat, and they you got to
1:34:56
run the routes more more defined, put more pressure on
1:35:00
the defense.
1:35:01
Speaker 1: So second down in eighteen now two tight ends on
1:35:04
the right hand side for Utah. They throw the flanker
1:35:07
screen out to Jackson Benny. Benny makes a man miss
1:35:09
forty in the open field, breaks the tackle and then
1:35:12
there what do we have another flag coming out on
1:35:15
Utah again. It's gonna be a hold out there, and
1:35:19
I think they're gonna get Tobias Merriweather for this hold
1:35:21
blocking for Jackson Benny. Yeah, it's God, this is getting ridiculous. Well,
1:35:27
it is ridiculous.
1:35:28
Speaker 7: Holding offense number eight senior playing for the spot of
1:35:32
foul or may second down.
1:35:34
Speaker 1: I don't think it was number eight. I think it
1:35:36
was number eighteen.
1:35:37
Speaker 3: Yeah it was. And you know it's in that it's
1:35:39
in that open area and he just you know a lot.
1:35:44
Speaker 2: It's when the guy goes down and you have your
1:35:46
hands out. It's it's your hand position. So much of
1:35:49
it is is hard in open field. But man, you
1:35:52
gotta move your feet. You just have to move your
1:35:54
feet in those situations. You got to keep moving them.
1:35:57
Speaker 1: I hate to point out the obvious Utah was running
1:35:59
the foot ball really well, I know. And now they've
1:36:02
got second down and an eternity here, second down and
1:36:09
forever second down in twenty seven, damp Pier to pass
1:36:14
out to the outside. It's caught on the outside and
1:36:17
Ryan Davis picks up six maybe seven yards to the
1:36:21
yo forty six and that's going to bring up third
1:36:24
down in really long here as the clock runs in
1:36:26
two twenty five to play in the ballgame, Jones Thomas
1:36:28
made the tackle.
1:36:29
Speaker 3: And these are really safe throws.
1:36:31
Speaker 2: But there's stuff open in the middle of the field,
1:36:34
kind of in that second level area and Utah. Everything
1:36:37
has just been out to the boundary, little short out routes,
1:36:40
everything there's nothing has attacked the middle of the field
1:36:43
at all.
1:36:44
Speaker 1: Third down for Utah, They've got to get to the
1:36:46
twenty five. Damn Pier. Lots of time in the pocket
1:36:49
looking throwing down the Field's got a man open cart
1:36:52
close to first down yardage. Did he get it? Dallan
1:36:57
Bentley got it. He needed twenty one and he got
1:37:02
twenty two yards. It's a Utah first down. Now, this
1:37:05
is a great play right here. By design.
1:37:08
Speaker 2: Just send all the receivers deep and Devin just waits
1:37:10
and waits and wait. He knows he's going to Bentley,
1:37:13
and Bentley just sleep sneaks out along the sideline.
1:37:16
Speaker 3: Great great call right there.
1:37:18
Speaker 1: First down at the YO twenty four yard line. Damp
1:37:20
Pierre rolling to his right, throwing down the field.
1:37:22
Speaker 3: Caught.
1:37:23
Speaker 1: That's Ryan Davis inside the twenty. They'll mark him down
1:37:26
at about the I think eighteen yard line. They're gonna
1:37:29
give him the nineteen in a gain of about four
1:37:32
yards on first down. Tackle on the play by Tyresee.
1:37:35
Boss called his name a couple of times tonight.
1:37:38
Speaker 2: Wyoming has tackled really nice in the open field. I mean,
1:37:42
it's hard to do, and Utah has put a lot
1:37:44
of pressure on him to do it.
1:37:46
Speaker 1: Coming up on a minute to play here in the
1:37:47
third inside the Canyon View Credit Union red zone, they
1:37:50
throw the ball in the flat again. That's Hunter andrews
1:37:53
up the field first down yardage inside the ten, pulls
1:37:56
his way down to the nine yard line. That's gonna
1:37:59
be first in goal for the utes. Tackled on the
1:38:01
play by Evan Eller and Utah knocking on the door
1:38:04
again with fifty three seconds of the clock running to
1:38:07
play here the third.
1:38:08
Speaker 3: Quarter, that's kind of a wrinkle off of the flanker screen.
1:38:11
Speaker 2: The bubble screen looks like the receiver's going to go
1:38:14
down the field on a pass, but they're actually going
1:38:16
down the field to block.
1:38:19
Speaker 1: First and ten. First and goal from the nine yard line,
1:38:23
damp Pierre to the right throws in toward the end
1:38:25
zone off the fingertips of Ryan Davison, completed about the
1:38:28
one yard line. Clock stops with thirty two seconds to play.
1:38:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, Devin wants that one back because you know he's
1:38:34
so good at throwing on the run. There just sells
1:38:37
a little high on him, but.
1:38:38
Speaker 1: Dan Davis might be tired. He's got ten catches for
1:38:42
ninety one yards right now.
1:38:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he had I think he had eight or
1:38:45
nine last week. So it seems to be the favorite
1:38:48
guy now.
1:38:48
Speaker 1: They've got a relationship going back a year. Second down
1:38:50
a goal from the nine yard line. Yo's stack of
1:38:54
the box with seven are the line of scrimmage. Damp
1:38:58
Pierre brings a man in motion, loses the football, picks
1:39:02
it up again, scrambles to his right, throwing toward the
1:39:05
end zone. Caught is it in?
1:39:07
Speaker 3: It is?
1:39:08
Speaker 5: Touchdown?
1:39:11
Speaker 1: Wow, touchdown. Larry Simmons with his first catches a ute
1:39:16
and it's a touchdown with a toe tap on the sideline.
1:39:21
Speaker 2: Well, Larry Simmons said, I've had enough of this Ryan
1:39:24
Davis stuff. This is not an exclusive relationship you have
1:39:27
with Ryan. I went in on the action. That's just
1:39:30
a tremendous throw. Great job by Devin. Oh that's all.
1:39:32
That's just the money shot right there. Wow, gosh, what
1:39:35
a great catch.
1:39:35
Speaker 1: How about Larry Simmons, the transfer from Southern miss makes
1:39:39
his first catches a ute count it's a nine yard touchdown.
1:39:45
Dylan Curtis on to attempt the pat credit Devin damp
1:39:49
Here lost the football, he picked it up and the
1:39:53
pat good. How about this? Drives got nineteen plays eighty
1:39:57
yards seven to twenty three off the game clock, and
1:40:00
they pay it off with a Pepsi touchdown to Larry Simmons,
1:40:04
and they overcome three big penalties.
1:40:07
Speaker 2: It's almost two hundred yards of offense in that adr drive.
1:40:12
Speaker 1: Time out on the field. Back to War Memorial and
1:40:14
Laramie next in seventeen to nothing Utah with twenty three
1:40:17
seconds to play in the third and this is Utah
1:40:19
football from ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network.
1:40:24
Seventeen to nothing Utah to the sideline, we go, sly,
1:40:27
you had a front row seat for that throw in
1:40:29
that catch, what'd you see?
1:40:31
Speaker 5: Well, two parts of that drive was epic.
1:40:33
Speaker 6: A lot of adversity to overcome right there, but they
1:40:35
hang in there and they get it done. But that
1:40:38
throw by Devin Dampierre, it was a great catch, but
1:40:41
in the midst of it, and when you fumble the
1:40:43
football have to find a receiver and then put it
1:40:46
on the money. Devin Dampierre, that was an amazing throw.
1:40:49
Larry Simmons, Hey, Larry Simmons on that drive blocked extremely
1:40:53
well for everybody else.
1:40:55
Speaker 5: I love that he got that paid off.
1:40:56
Speaker 1: There, So I thank you that sideline update brought to
1:40:59
you by and Garth. We hear you feel like Curtis
1:41:02
has it ted up at his own thirty five twenty
1:41:04
three seconds remain here with the third quarter seventeen to nothing,
1:41:07
Utah come out back to back scoring drives. That's going
1:41:11
to be a touchback on the kick and first and
1:41:13
ten for the twenty five for the Wyoming Cowboys, and
1:41:17
I'll tell you what, Devin dan Pier on that drive
1:41:20
ten of twelve for seventy five yards passing. Utah ran
1:41:23
it seven times for thirty three yards. They overcame three penalties,
1:41:29
three penalties, two holding penalties, and a block of the
1:41:31
back penalty. They all totaled up thirty total yards. And
1:41:34
that's what you want to see from your team. You know,
1:41:36
you face adversity, how do you handle it?
1:41:38
Speaker 2: It shows maturity, It shows leadership, shows focus, and you
1:41:42
got that from.
1:41:43
Speaker 3: A lot of people.
1:41:44
Speaker 1: Samuel Tote Harris the tailback alongside Kayden Anderson, Wyoming still
1:41:49
under one hundred yards of total offense, Utah bringing the
1:41:52
blitz on first down tote, Harris grabs it, runs with it,
1:41:54
picks up four yards out to the twenty nine yard line.
1:41:57
That was a That was a run blitz, pass blitz.
1:42:00
It was a blitz. They brought pressure, but the run
1:42:02
got away from it.
1:42:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to get in the right gap and
1:42:05
make sure you tackle the guy or e can busted through.
1:42:07
It's kind of you know, you're you're gambling and if
1:42:10
it pays off, it's great, But if it doesn't, it
1:42:12
could be a big play.
1:42:13
Speaker 1: De Mooney and Barton in on the tackle that time.
1:42:15
And I'm gonna let this one trickle down to the end.
1:42:19

Utah perfect four for four on third down, Scott. They
1:43:12
ran twenty nine plays in the third quarter, Wyoming ran seven.
1:43:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a dominant performance, and that's what you want
1:43:18
to see. You know, it's all about closing out a game.
1:43:20
You come out, you start fast, you get the ball,
1:43:22
you go down, you score, and you score no matter what.
1:43:25
And you know in the drive you face adversity, you
1:43:28
face challenges. But just a great, great, great play calling,
1:43:32
by the way, and also a great execution across the board.
1:43:37
You know, I love, I loved overcoming some serious penalties there.
1:43:41
But it's it's a great answer back to kind of
1:43:44
a really shaky first half for this offense.
1:43:46
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really interesting to see how they play
1:43:48
call on this drive Wyoming. They're down seventeen in the fourth.
1:43:51
They're not going to have many more possessions. Here ran
1:43:53
it on first down. It's second down in six. As
1:43:56
the lights come back on after the third quarter, lights
1:43:58
show Kate and Anderson in his own twenty four to
1:44:02
twenty five yard line toad. Harris stays in the ball game.
1:44:06
Anderson looks left back over the middle. He goes it's
1:44:09
caught and immediately wrapped up and take him down as
1:44:11
the wide receiver Richardson Blake Cotton got him short of
1:44:16
first downyard. It's third down at about two coming up
1:44:18
here for the Pops or two of eight on third down.
1:44:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again they're gonna you know, it's it's probably
1:44:26
gonna be quicker passes and controlled passes here trying to
1:44:29
make something happen, but they will take a shot down
1:44:31
the field at some point.
1:44:32
Speaker 1: Two receivers to the left. Harris staves of the ballgame
1:44:35
as the tailback. Two tight ends as well. Here for
1:44:37
Wyoming on third down and two, Anderson hands Harris trying
1:44:42
to get first down yard. He does dives across the
1:44:45
thirty to about the thirty two. Levanni de Woody got
1:44:47
there but couldn't stop him, and that'll be a first down.
1:44:51
Speaker 3: And a lot of.
1:44:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a it's an interesting attack here by
1:44:56
this by this team because they you know, they got
1:44:59
a they got a score, and they got to score
1:45:01
a lot quick.
1:45:01
Speaker 3: But they're just they're just kind of running their simple offense.
1:45:05
Speaker 1: Miny had gone by here. In the third fourth quarter,
1:45:07
Utah seventeen, Wyoming nothing, first and ten for Anderson and
1:45:13
the Cowboys tight end moves and now moves back again.
1:45:17
That's Swaboda play action pass looking down the field, throwing
1:45:21
and dumping it off in the flat to his tight end.
1:45:25
Swoboda Jackson Benny on the tackle. Swoboda picked up calling
1:45:31
about eight on the play out for the forty five
1:45:32
yard line.
1:45:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, Utah came on a blitz there and kind of
1:45:36
ran past the quarterback. You gotta keep that pressure on
1:45:39
him there, kind of almost I think it was Cotton
1:45:42
it off the slot there.
1:45:44
Speaker 1: So second down in two pistol formation, here's Tote. Harris
1:45:47
stays in the ball game, the true freshman. Now he'll
1:45:50
move to the right side of his quarterback. Three receivers
1:45:52
in the pattern this time for Anderson. Utah crowds the
1:45:55
line of scrimmage with five hand off Harris. He's got
1:46:00
first down yardage in the Utah territory, across the fifty
1:46:03
and down to the Utah forty eight yard line. That's
1:46:05
a gain of telling about six yards. And now Wyoming
1:46:08
he's gonna go with some tempo here down seventeen on
1:46:12
the Utah side of midfield. They come to the line
1:46:14
of scrimmage, Anderson's gonna pass again, pressure in his face,
1:46:17
being chased, and he finally throws it away and out
1:46:19
of bounds. John Henry Daily in pursuit again. That ball
1:46:24
may have been tipped as well.
1:46:25
Speaker 2: Yeah it was tipped, otherwise that would have that would
1:46:28
have been a grounding call to him get to the
1:46:29
line of scrimmage. But and John Henry is just sewing
1:46:32
some tremendous athleticism his redirection and then he's just his
1:46:36
pursuit to the quarterback is relentless.
1:46:39
Speaker 1: It is two sacks tonight, five on the season for
1:46:43
John Henry Daily. Second down and ten from the Utah
1:46:46
forty eight Anderson out of the gun, pressure again coming
1:46:53
throws to the outside. It's caught and up the field,
1:46:55
goes the receiver mistackle in the open field, finally forced
1:46:58
out of bounds and about the Utah thirty nine yard line.
1:47:02
That was Chris dur Again, I didn't see who missed
1:47:04
the tackle, but that should have been a gain of
1:47:06
a very short amount.
1:47:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jackson Benny and he just you know, he committed
1:47:10
to it and that's what you gotta do. And he
1:47:12
just he took a swung, a swing and a miss
1:47:15
and it should have had. I mean, it's long, long
1:47:17
developing play there and just just din't quite get the.
1:47:20
Speaker 1: Third down in three. Gonna be four down territory here
1:47:22
for the Cowboys. Anderson goes under center Harris behind him
1:47:28
for the Utah forty one turn. It a give to Harris.
1:47:30
He has met and dropped at the line of scrimmage.
1:47:33
Cash Dylan got him, so did Elijah Davis. It'll be
1:47:37
fourth down in two.
1:47:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine wild Week's gonna go for it here.
1:47:41
But again, you know, Cash Dylan just super athletic guy
1:47:46
on this.
1:47:46
Speaker 3: Edge, and like so many times, he just's.
1:47:49
Speaker 2: Just reading the block and he just gets great leverage,
1:47:51
stays so low on that block.
1:47:54
Speaker 3: And just makes a great play.
1:47:55
Speaker 1: First fourth down tonight for Wyoming from the Utah forty
1:47:57
fourth and two, Anderson backs up into the shotgun with
1:48:01
Harris next to him. Utah crowds the line of scrimmage.
1:48:05
Anderson back pedals, looking to throw in the flat has
1:48:09
a man first down yardage just past the marker was
1:48:15
tote Harris Donald Hall made the tackle he needed to.
1:48:18
He got two and a half in a first down.
1:48:21
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought it's a tough thing because you think
1:48:23
it might be run there and they just do kind
1:48:25
of a little play action and oh.
1:48:27
Speaker 3: He just almost got him short of the first down.
1:48:31
Speaker 1: So first and ten from the Utah thirty seven yard
1:48:34
line for the Wyoming Cowboys, eleven ten to play here
1:48:37
at the fourth quarter, seventeen to nothing Utah. Anderson to
1:48:40
pass again. Four man rush throws down the field and
1:48:44
it is incomplete and a flag comes out. They may
1:48:48
get this one on Blake Cotton for pass interference.
1:48:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how. I mean, it's just two
1:48:54
guys going for the ball. I don't know how you
1:48:57
can call it against one of them.
1:48:58
Speaker 1: Oh, there's two flags on the field. There's one near
1:49:00
the line of scrimmage and one up the field. Let's
1:49:03
see what we've got. The one's gonna be on Utah
1:49:05
down the field. It's gonna be past interference. Let's see
1:49:08
what the other flag is. Here's our referee.
1:49:10
Speaker 7: You're upsetting fouls on the play, holding offense number seventy,
1:49:15
past interference defense number sixteen or foules offset mains first down.
1:49:21
Speaker 1: So they get the right tackle for the hold and
1:49:23
they get Blake Cotton for the pass interference. Gonna be
1:49:26
first and ten again at the Utah thirty seven yard line.
1:49:29
Speaker 2: You don't typically see a lot of pass interference calls
1:49:32
in college unless it's just really egregious. And I think
1:49:35
that's just two guys fighting for the ball there.
1:49:37
Speaker 1: You clearly don't remember the BYU game a year ago.
1:49:40
Speaker 3: I know, try to forget it.
1:49:43
Speaker 1: Second, DAMMI get first down in ten one more time.
1:49:45
Here the receiver comes in motion, Anderson changing the play.
1:49:49
He's got Scott in the backfield with him, Utah crowding
1:49:52
the line of scrimmage with six of the box. They
1:49:54
handed off to Scott. He pulls tacklers forward and nice
1:49:58
little pick up there by Sam Scott. He picks up
1:50:00
four down to the thirty three yard line. Well, It
1:50:02
just kind of feels like Wyoming is no sense of
1:50:05
urgency here, running this thing out a little bit here,
1:50:07
just you know.
1:50:09
Speaker 2: Not throwing the ball every time, just kind of going
1:50:11
back and forth with what they're doing.
1:50:13
Speaker 1: They've made some progress, they're certainly deeper in Utah territory
1:50:16
now second and six from the Utah thirty three.
1:50:18
Speaker 3: This official is doing it incorrectly.
1:50:20
Speaker 1: He's not he's not holding no. Utah just gets a
1:50:26
player off the field in time. Anderson hands Scott near
1:50:29
side flag flies. That's going to be a hold on
1:50:32
Wyoming as Scott picks up four to the Utah twenty nine.
1:50:35
But this one's going to come back.
1:50:38
Speaker 7: Holding offense number seventy two senior penalty may a second down.
1:50:43
Speaker 1: Right guard Caden Barnett called for that hole, so back
1:50:46
it up ten yards got they didn't hold the ball there,
1:50:52
Wyoming substituted, and you're supposed to hold the ball for
1:50:55
Utah to sub and that that defensive tackle just got
1:50:58
off the field in.
1:50:58
Speaker 3: Time for Utah.
1:51:00
Speaker 2: You wonder if this official just I don't know, just
1:51:03
not being judicious on it, not really being aware of
1:51:06
the situation, should hold the.
1:51:07
Speaker 1: Ball second down in sixteen back of the Utah forty three.
1:51:15
Anderson out of the gun again, splits four receivers in
1:51:17
the formation, two left and two right. He'll backpedal to pass,
1:51:21
throws it to the back out of the backfield. Blitz
1:51:23
was coming with Lander Barton, and he skipped it in
1:51:26
complete to Scott. He just had to get rid of
1:51:27
the football.
1:51:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I really wish we'd see more of this
1:51:30
because it just makes the quarterback ineffective when you do it,
1:51:35
you know, I hope right now they really I dial
1:51:38
it of the game absolutely.
1:51:40
Speaker 1: Morgan Scalley's not somebody who usually shies away from pressure.
1:51:44
Samuel Harrison, you got to keep an eye on him
1:51:46
out of the backfield. Three out of ten on third
1:51:48
down of the Wyoming Cowboys, third down in sixteen. Here
1:51:56
Anderson to pass high snap, gathers it in pressure in
1:51:59
his face, throws over the middle incomplete. Oh, it's intercepted
1:52:04
on a deflection. Here comes Jackson Benny the other way.
1:52:08
Jackson Benny twenty the tackle to the nineteen yard line.
1:52:11
He nearly had another pick six. It was a deflected
1:52:16
ball and then an interception by Jackson Benny fifty six
1:52:21
yard return all the way to the Wyoming eighteen yard line.
1:52:25
Speaker 2: See, and it's all about getting pressure on the quarterback.
1:52:27
You get that pressure and makes him average. I think
1:52:30
Jackson Benny's a little bit tired. He's been running around
1:52:32
the field on both offense and defense. And because that one, nay,
1:52:37
he should have scored on that one.
1:52:39
Speaker 1: Wyoming Cowboy fans heading to the exits here in laraming As.
1:52:42
Utah's got it in the Canyon View Credit Union red
1:52:45
zone one more time, first and ten at the Cowboy eighteen.
1:52:50
Damn Pierre in the backfield brings Parker back in with him,
1:52:53
hands it to Wayshan, Wayshan forward and down to the
1:52:56
sixteen yard line. He goes for a gain of three,
1:52:59
tackled by Ben Florentine. We had the sack earlier today
1:53:02
on Devin Dan Pierre.
1:53:04
Speaker 2: You know it's they pulled one of the guards right there,
1:53:07
and it just seemed like they're so good at getting
1:53:10
downhill and they just kind of seemed like hearing second
1:53:12
gear on that play right there should have been a
1:53:13
whole lot more than it was.
1:53:15
Speaker 1: Rogers in the ballgame. Now for Utah's, Parker takes a
1:53:18
break second down in seven from the Cowboys sixteen yard
1:53:21
line Hunter Andrews, Dallan Bentley, Larry Simmons on the field
1:53:27
as well. Dam Pierre goes under center, brings Andrews in motion,
1:53:32
hands it to Rogers. Rogers to the fifteen and spins
1:53:35
down to about the fourteen yard line for a game
1:53:38
of two third and five coming up here for Utah
1:53:44
as we are coming up on nine minutes to play.
1:53:47
The folks in brown and gold making their way to
1:53:49
the exits here in Laramie.
1:53:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, that play should have been a bigger play. It
1:53:54
looked like the guy coming in motion should have blocked
1:53:56
the end and they didn't.
1:53:58
Speaker 3: And that's guy who maybe.
1:54:01
Speaker 1: Can you give you credit? Union, great sponsor of University
1:54:04
of Utah football? Third down in five eight out of
1:54:06
fourteen on third down of the utes, damp Pier out
1:54:10
of the gun, back pedals to pass, looking to the outside,
1:54:13
throwing toward the corner up caught touchdown. J. J. Buchannon,
1:54:20
the freshman from Vegas. What a back shoulder from damp
1:54:24
Pere pulls it down for a Utah touchdown.
1:54:29
Speaker 2: See, And that's a good throw because it's high and
1:54:32
you have that advantage, and it's a it's a it's
1:54:35
a perfectly thrown ball right there. Devin's thrown some pretty
1:54:38
accurate passes down here in the red zone zone. He
1:54:40
has that's perfect right there. He's got the he's got
1:54:43
the height advantage.
1:54:44
Speaker 1: And if Buchanan could jump thirty nine inches, yeah.
1:54:47
Speaker 3: But you know, don't. You can't.
1:54:49
Speaker 2: You can't overthrow a tight I'm just telling you when
1:54:51
you give him a jump ball like that, but you
1:54:53
certainly can underthrow.
1:54:55
Speaker 1: That's a Pepsi touchdown pat by Dylan Curtis. Up and good,
1:55:00
and with eight thirty five to play, Utah now leads
1:55:03
it by a score of twenty four to nothing. They've
1:55:08
had three second half drives and three second half touchdowns.
1:55:13
Time out on the field. We're back to Laramie and
1:55:15
the Big O'd tires broadcast booth. Next, it's Utah Football
1:55:18
from ESPN seven hundred and a youth sports radio network.
1:55:22
Our second half tonight being brought to you by University
1:55:24
of Utah Health. Also being brought to you by Pepsi
1:55:27
and Smith. Pepsi was made for utes watching. Pretty impressive
1:55:30
second half here by Utah, twenty four to zero. Three
1:55:33
straight scores here at the second half. How about Devin
1:55:35
Dan Piers Night two hundred thirty yards passing complete two touchdowns,
1:55:39
completing sixty six percent. He's got eighty six yards rushing
1:55:42
tonight as well. Utah has four hundred and sixty six
1:55:45
total yards, two thirty through the air, two thirty six
1:55:48
on the ground. That yardage update brought to you by C. R. England.
1:55:52
That my friend is ballanced.
1:55:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is, and it shows the potency of
1:55:56
this offense. I'll just give you a player really quick
1:55:59
that just super press me is Larry Simmons. This guy
1:56:02
he catches his first pass at the very end of
1:56:04
the third quarter of the third game, and he's waited
1:56:07
his time and when he got an opportunity, he made
1:56:09
a play. And that that's the kind of guy I
1:56:11
want on the field.
1:56:12
Speaker 1: So I even said he's been blocking his butt off
1:56:15
down there tonight too for his fellow wide receivers and
1:56:17
bags this kickoff through the end zone and out the back.
1:56:20
Ryan Davis has had an impressive night tonight. Two ten
1:56:23
catches ninety one yards, Rogers sixty yards in a touchdown,
1:56:27
Parker fifty one yards. Hunter Andrews had a good night too.
1:56:31
Hunter's got five grabs for forty four yards and two
1:56:33
rushes for sixteen.
1:56:36
Speaker 2: We haven't seen Nate Johnson in the second half. Well,
1:56:39
he fumbled at three yard life.
1:56:41
Speaker 1: That's turnovers have consequences, isn't that what they say it Scott,
1:56:45
they do doesn't mean we won't see Nate again. But
1:56:48
others have done well here in the second half, including
1:56:50
Hunter Andrews. First and ten, Wyoming down twenty four to
1:56:53
nothing from their own twenty five yard line. Harris the
1:56:57
tailback going to hand to Toade Harris, He's gonna bounce,
1:57:00
sit around, pick up some yards of the outside back
1:57:01
to the inside, and he picked up eleven on first
1:57:04
down after the thirty six yard line. They liked this
1:57:06
kid a lot. He's a true freshman out of Texas
1:57:09
and they think he's the next big back. John to
1:57:11
Hall made the data.
1:57:12
Speaker 2: He's shifty and he can really cut back, and he's
1:57:15
got some speed and a burst to him. And you
1:57:17
get these little guys in there and they get lost.
1:57:20
I mean I played with the guy who was really
1:57:22
small and he got lost. Who's that some guy named Barry?
1:57:27
Speaker 1: First and ten from the thirty six Now for Wyoming
1:57:30
trailing twenty four to nothing here midway through the fourth,
1:57:34
Anderson back pedals to pass four man rush for Utah
1:57:37
in his face. They throw the screen. It goes Actually,
1:57:39
they weren't throwing a screen. They were trying to get
1:57:42
that ball to Dure and I think they're gonna call
1:57:44
what holding or pass interference on Utah?
1:57:47
Speaker 3: I think I don't know. It looked like they held
1:57:51
John Henry Daily.
1:57:53
Speaker 1: Oh ineligible receiver. I think downfield. All right, let's see
1:57:58
what the referee says. Look at the Morgan Scalley and
1:58:02
Kyle Whittingham to see if they want to take the penalty.
1:58:07
I think you probably do.
1:58:11
Speaker 7: Number eighty six was covered up with a snap and
1:58:13
went downfield as a foul for those player downfield offense,
1:58:17
it's five yard penalty. May's first down.
1:58:22
Speaker 1: I'm not really quite sure what they were where they
1:58:24
were throwing that ball, and I guess Durr was the
1:58:26
closest guy.
1:58:27
Speaker 2: But yeah, guys just in the formation wise, they didn't
1:58:31
line up, didn't have enough guys off the ball and on.
1:58:36
Speaker 1: So first down in fifteen back at the thirty thirty
1:58:39
one yard line, seven fifty two to play here in
1:58:43
the ballgame, Utah twenty four to nothing. I hand the
1:58:47
ball on that far side. That's a sweep. That's Harris.
1:58:49
Tote Harris into the open field into Utah territory and
1:58:53
down at the Utah forty one yard line. He ripped
1:58:56
off a big and right there it's a twenty eight
1:58:59
yard run for Tode Harris.
1:59:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just like Utah wasn't even aware of
1:59:04
him and the etched player, the support guy just didn't
1:59:08
get there.
1:59:08
Speaker 1: Well, if you're Utah right now, you want to preserve
1:59:11
this shutout at all costs if you can.
1:59:13
Speaker 3: Well, you played so great and so hard all game long.
1:59:15
Speaker 1: Absolutely First and ten from the Utah forty one Anderson
1:59:22
to pass quickly to the outside, ball caught and taken
1:59:25
down immediately. Scooby Davis wraps up and takes down Jalen Sergeant,
1:59:32
the Logan, Utah native, after a gain of six almost
1:59:36
seven yards.
1:59:37
Speaker 2: Sure seems like a lot of those throws to the
1:59:39
sideline just takes so long to get there, and these
1:59:41
TV should have enough time to react.
1:59:44
Speaker 1: Scooby Davis has hobbled a little bit right here, and
1:59:47
see if they go back at Sergeant who he's covering,
1:59:50
take it down in three.
1:59:54
Speaker 3: Hand.
1:59:54
Speaker 1: The ball into the open field goes the running back
1:59:59
and that's who Kellerman, and he picks up ten yards
2:00:03
to the Utah twenty three.
2:00:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, that feels like this defense doesn't quite have the
2:00:07
same energy it's had all night.
2:00:09
Speaker 1: Which is funny. They haven't been out there a bunch.
2:00:12
Utah's offense here in the second half has done a
2:00:14
good job. They've been on the field a lot. First
2:00:20
in ten Wyoming at the Utah twenty four yard line,
2:00:23
clock running at six twenty to play, they're certainly in
2:00:26
field goal range. Now be interesting if they tried to
2:00:29
take one instead of a touchdown. Hand off again Kellerman.
2:00:34
This time he's stacked up in a line of scrimmage
2:00:36
and driven backwards. Paul Fitzgerald played up here when he
2:00:42
was at Utah State, drops him for no game, second
2:00:46
down and ten as we go under six minutes to play.
2:00:48
Speaker 2: Now, that's decent number of players who've been here on
2:00:52
other teams that are now here with Utah.
2:00:55
Speaker 3: See this official should hold it and he's not.
2:01:00
Speaker 1: There. We go, Yeah, he's holding now now he is va.
2:01:05
My heat checks out for Utah and second down and ten,
2:01:09
Kellerman stays in a tail back Anderson's gonna backpedal to
2:01:12
pass Caden Anderson completes in the open field and take
2:01:16
him down immediately as Chris Durr After a gain of
2:01:22
seven yards, they get six yards to the eighteen.
2:01:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, good tackle there that open field and so many
2:01:28
of these tackles now are just shouldered down to the
2:01:32
to the ankles, and it's a different technique and good execution.
2:01:38
Speaker 1: Yo, three out of eleven. On third down, they've got
2:01:40
to get to the Utah fourteen for a first down.
2:01:44
Anderson surveys and takes the stamp, rolls to his right.
2:01:48
He's gonna run it, and he's oh man, he had
2:01:51
wide open field and he falls down just at the
2:01:54
yardage to go.
2:01:56
Speaker 3: Oh they're calling fourth down.
2:01:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're in fact, they're gonna poort there down about
2:01:59
half yard shy ouch oh Kayden Anderson, he could have
2:02:03
run to at least the five yard line.
2:02:05
Speaker 3: The turf monster got him.
2:02:07
Speaker 1: So fourth down and a little less than half.
2:02:09
Speaker 7: A yard here on the field of the runner be
2:02:12
short of the line of game? Is there a further
2:02:14
review played just at the Game Park for four thirty
2:02:17
seven four three seven, Thank you well.
2:02:21
Speaker 1: Our second review of the night Wow in a twenty
2:02:23
four to nothing game with four thirty seven to play.
2:02:26
They're gonna see if he got the yardage needed or
2:02:29
if he fell just short of the first down. While
2:02:32
they look at it will remind you the game days
2:02:34
are made just a little bit sweeter by Chip Cookies,
2:02:37
the og warm cookie born right in Utah Final but
2:02:41
at the stadium or stop by after a game to
2:02:42
keep the celebration going. Game day is also Chip Day,
2:02:47
Kip Day.
2:02:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking at the review here, it just looks like
2:02:52
maybe his elbow got down just shy of that. I
2:02:56
guess it'd be the nineteen yard line. He's diving, he's
2:03:00
right there, he's short. I think it's a good call.
2:03:03
Where they market it.
2:03:04
Speaker 1: Next week, Utah's home and it's a big one. They
2:03:07
open up Big twelve play with a very good Texas
2:03:10
Tech Red Raider team that won today over Oregon State
2:03:13
forty five to fourteen. He in Lubbock now, they haven't
2:03:16
left Lubbic yet. They've been in West East West Texas
2:03:20
now for the entire season. Here's our referee with the call.
2:03:25
Speaker 7: At the further review of the call, left field is
2:03:27
upheld fourth down.
2:03:29
Speaker 1: See if the Utah defense can come up with a
2:03:31
big stand here Wyoming could probably quarterback sneak this.
2:03:34
Speaker 2: Anderson's a big enough kid. He's six with four Yeah,
2:03:37
most of the time he's in the shotgun. I think,
2:03:38
if not all, some guys they just can't go underneath
2:03:41
the center, and it really hurts you.
2:03:43
Speaker 1: The center on this team is an All Mountain West
2:03:45
Conference guy. He's a preseason Lombardi and Outland guy too.
2:03:48
That's Jack Walsh. Yeah, this isn't like to think you
2:03:51
can get a half yard.
2:03:52
Speaker 2: This defensive line for Wyoming's been pretty stout tonight.
2:03:56
Speaker 3: They've done a decent job.
2:03:58
Speaker 1: So fourth and half a yard, they've got to get
2:04:00
to the Utah almost fourteen yard line. Kellerman the back.
2:04:05
They're going to operate out of the shotgun. They won't
2:04:06
go under center. Three receivers lined up wide to the
2:04:10
left hand side. Fourth down, half a yard from the
2:04:14
Utah fifteen motion man the tight end, they hand the Kellerman.
2:04:19
Speaker 3: He breaks the.
2:04:19
Speaker 1: Tackle and he's going to get to the end zone.
2:04:21
That's a touchdown, and that's a bust right there, and
2:04:25
there goes the shutout. Nate Ritchie missed the tackle. He
2:04:29
had him. Richie had him short of the line to gain,
2:04:33
but Kellerman finds his way to the end zone for
2:04:35
the first time this year, and the Wyoming Cowboys get
2:04:38
themselves on the board here with just over four minutes
2:04:40
to play.
2:04:41
Speaker 2: Yea and Nate kind of went to the inside there
2:04:44
and just didn't quite get through that gap quick enough.
2:04:46
Speaker 3: And you live by it, and you died by Utah
2:04:49
died by it right there.
2:04:51
Speaker 2: Little miscommunication, I'm where where maybe guys should fit in
2:04:55
the scheme there and just kind of blew it up.
2:04:58
Speaker 1: Scoring drive for a while. They're gonna go for two here?
2:05:02
Why not going for two? Anderson to pass into the
2:05:08
end zone broken up incomplete. Richie was there to break
2:05:11
it up that time, and the Utah defense stands up
2:05:14
on the two point conversion for twenty three to play,
2:05:16
and it's twenty four to six. A scoring drive eight plays,
2:05:19
seventy five yards, four to twelve off the game clock
2:05:22
to Ron Kellerman with a fifteen yard touchdown to make
2:05:25
it twenty four to six. Time out on the field
2:05:28
back with the final four to twenty three next from Laramie.
2:05:31
It's Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred to Youth Sports
2:05:34
Radio Network. Second Half, also brought to you by University
2:05:37
of Utah Health get that same great care of the
2:05:39
Utes Trust. Visit u of uhealth dot org slash utes
2:05:43
for twenty three to play, is wyoming dear to kick
2:05:46
an on sidekig here down twenty four to six? I
2:05:50
would say yes, Utah's looking and expecting that here. Hands
2:05:54
team is up in front. Loan man back is ray
2:05:57
Shawn Glover. He's expecting it too. He's standing at the
2:06:00
twenty five yard line and Ed Miston will try the
2:06:06
on side if they do indeed try the on side.
2:06:10
Utah's got eight up at the forty five yard line,
2:06:13
two behind and then glove or deep. He doesn't appear
2:06:24
to be lining up for the on side now, Nobe.
2:06:30
He's gonna kick it deep, deep and through the end
2:06:34
zone and a touchback.
2:06:37
Speaker 3: Sometimes you try to kick it hard and hit one
2:06:39
of those up men.
2:06:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Some Devin dan Pier in the Utah offense
2:06:46
who've been masked four hundred and sixty six yards of
2:06:48
total offense will come out here first and ten from
2:06:51
their own twenty five yard line and try to close
2:06:53
this one out. He'd like to think that two or
2:06:55
three first downs probably close it out right here.
2:06:57
Speaker 2: Scott, I would think so, and you know, I think
2:07:00
Wyomings is it's all about a respectable game. You know,
2:07:04
sure they don't get blown out. They did score, That's
2:07:07
probably why they didn't to kick the onside way.
2:07:10
Speaker 1: Shaan Parker the back of the backfield with Devin dam
2:07:13
Pierre on first and ten for the twenty five yard line.
2:07:15
They give it straight to Wasshan and he's got the
2:07:18
edge thirty thirty five forty mat of bounds at about
2:07:21
the forty three yard line. They're gonna mark you out
2:07:24
of bounds? Where are they gonna give him the forty five?
2:07:28
Looks like it. That'll be a twenty yard game on
2:07:30
first out for Wyshan Parker, who's got nine carries for
2:07:33
seventy one yards now.
2:07:34
Speaker 3: And he's very patient on this.
2:07:35
Speaker 2: I mean the incredible blocks there right here. He's got
2:07:39
to just slide to the inside, kind of give himself
2:07:41
up so he keeps that clock running.
2:07:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not quite as important today as it will
2:07:49
be in other games. No Hunter Andrews Now the Wildcat quarterback.
2:07:55
As they split damn Pier out and bring Devion in motion,
2:07:58
Andrews straight ahead his way to the outside fifty forty
2:08:02
five and down to the Wyoming forty five yard line
2:08:05
for another ten yard game.
2:08:08
Speaker 2: Tell you Hunter Andagers really just every week showing us
2:08:11
something and it's it's good to see this offensive coaching
2:08:15
staff recognized it and is you know, recognized that he's
2:08:19
a player that is going to make plays and you
2:08:21
have confidence a lot of things you can do with him.
2:08:24
Speaker 1: It's like Jayden Williams maybe might be down a Wyoming
2:08:30
player down at the Wyoming forty five yard line. Trainers
2:08:33
will come out, look at him. We'll take our final
2:08:35
time out. I think tonight outside the two minute timeout
2:08:38
with three forty thirty five to play, here it's Utah
2:08:41
on the move up twenty four to six, and this
2:08:43
is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred, and you'd sports
2:08:46
SPN seven hundred have a huge sports network. Bill Riley, Scott,
2:08:52
Mitchell Stevens, and Sylvester Back in War Memorial Stadium, Caryl Laramie, Wyoming,
2:08:57
twenty four to six Utah with three thirty five play,
2:09:00
Utah has it first and ten at the Wyoming forty
2:09:03
five yard line. They've picked up thirty yards and two
2:09:06
plays courtesy of the legs and was Sean Parker and
2:09:09
Hunter Andrews. I I can't say enough how much I
2:09:12
like Hunter Andrews as a weapon for this team. Catches
2:09:15
it well, runs it well, blocks well. I like him
2:09:18
a lot.
2:09:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do too.
2:09:21
Speaker 2: And into that last play he showed a lot of
2:09:23
burst and kind of got a little swivel in his
2:09:26
hips too. He can move and clearly he was a
2:09:30
running back before and you can see that his DNA
2:09:33
kind of works that way.
2:09:36
Speaker 1: So they took the injured player Jaydon Williams off the field.
2:09:39
It's first in ten Utah damp Pierre with Hunter Andrews
2:09:45
was Sean Parker. They handed to Parker was Shan threw
2:09:48
the hole, picks up well almost ten more yards. He
2:09:51
picked up nine to the thirty six yard line. Utah
2:09:54
now has two hundred and seventy five yards rushing tonight
2:09:57
and Parker's got ten carries for eighty yards.
2:10:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that's in the second half to and
2:10:03
you know, I just I love I love all these
2:10:05
runners and they're just such great, you know, straight ahead
2:10:08
forward runners, and Feishan's gonna be a big part of
2:10:11
what Utah does.
2:10:12
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't be surprised. You see a lot of
2:10:13
this next week.
2:10:14
Speaker 1: Too, clock ticking down to two twenty five, two twenty four,
2:10:18
two twenty three. As they let the play clock trickle
2:10:20
down to ten, Andrew's playing the wildcat again. Damn Pierre
2:10:25
comes in motion across the formation. Hunter's gonna keep it,
2:10:28
follow his blockers into the open field twenty fifteen and
2:10:31
down at the sixteen yard line. He goes just shy
2:10:33
of the fifteen Hunter Andrews picks up nineteen yards and
2:10:40
Utah very close to going over three hundred yards rushing
2:10:43
for the night. That will take us to the two
2:10:44
minute time.
2:10:45
Speaker 3: That is a two minute timeout.
2:10:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you gotta I'm just so impressed with these
2:10:50
running backs to just pick, you know, and be patient.
2:10:53
It's patient and then they burst through there and just
2:10:55
what a great play, great presence not to get.
2:10:57
Speaker 3: Out of bounce.
2:10:57
Speaker 1: Our final time out tonight, it's the two minute time
2:11:00
out here in Laramie with Utah leading twenty four to
2:11:03
six of the Big O'd Tires broadcast booth at Utah
2:11:06
Football from ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network,
2:11:10
Big mag You, de Vinki, gotur PEPC, Smiz Chip Cookies
2:11:14
and our friends at Canyon View Credit Union find them
2:11:17
at Canyon do UCEU dot com today, Utah inside the
2:11:21
Canyon View Credit Union Red Zone for a fifth time tonight,
2:11:27
three out of four so far tonight three for three
2:11:31
here in the second half.
2:11:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to feel like this, but this has
2:11:37
really been quite a dominant performance by this team.
2:11:40
Speaker 1: Hunter Andrews continues at the Wildcat. Dan Pierre comes in motion.
2:11:48
Hutter follows his blockers through the hole and down to
2:11:51
about the eleven yard line, almost ten yard line, goes
2:11:54
Hunter Andrews and Utah I think just went over three
2:11:57
hundred yards rushing tonight. They needed five. I think he
2:11:59
got six yards on that play. And if so, that's
2:12:02
a good rushing night for Utah. And again they spread
2:12:05
the wealth around. Yeah, this team is a patchwork of offense.
2:12:09
But that was the same play they ran before, and
2:12:12
they ran to the left. We'll just run it to
2:12:14
the right here.
2:12:15
Speaker 2: Be interesting to see if they score or try to
2:12:18
score here or just kind of end the game.
2:12:21
Speaker 1: Andrews again the Wildcat with a minute twenty three to play.
2:12:26
Five yards on that last carry, He's gonna follow his
2:12:30
blockers again. Hunter to the outside five four three two
2:12:33
one and a touchdown. And an exclamation point tonight here
2:12:39
in Laramie, Hunter Andrew's in from eleven yards out.
2:12:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hunter did a little bit of a like toe
2:12:48
tap in there and made the guy miss him on
2:12:51
the tackle there. Basically just ran the same play about
2:12:54
three or four times and went right down the field
2:12:57
for style points. It's probably pretty good now if you
2:13:01
want to go back in time right now, Billy could
2:13:03
always onside kick right now.
2:13:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Glynn is not showing up and walking through
2:13:07
that door. That's a touchdown first of the year for
2:13:11
Hunter Andrews. Hey, Pepsi touchdown, pat up, and good by
2:13:19
Dylan Curtis. The last time Utah was here in twenty ten,
2:13:23
they won thirty to six. Today it's thirty one to
2:13:26
six and our final time out, CBS squeezing them for
2:13:30
all we could get. Tonight, I'm in a twelve to
2:13:32
play Utah thirty one and Wyoming six at Utah Football
2:13:36
for ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports Radio Network. That last
2:13:40
scoring drive for Utah had off with the Pepsi touchdown
2:13:42
from Hunter Andrews. Six plays, seventy five yards, three twelve
2:13:45
off the game clock, thirty one six Utah. It's a
2:13:49
good night for Utah. Five hundred and forty one total
2:13:51
yards three eleven on the ground, two thirty through the air.
2:13:54
They've held Wyoming the two undred twenty total yards three
2:13:58
I'm making now four out of five five in the
2:14:00
red zone. They were two and a half yards from
2:14:02
being five to five in the red zone had it
2:14:04
not been to the Nate Johnson fumble this year in
2:14:07
the red zone. Now Scott Utah is fifteen of sixteen
2:14:10
in the red zone.
2:14:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this isn't an apparition.
2:14:13
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what Jason Beck is known for
2:14:16
and he's been very efficient in the red zone and
2:14:18
you're seeing that manifest itself here as a coach at
2:14:22
the utes.
2:14:22
Speaker 1: Well and been He's called a terrific game that night.
2:14:25
Jason has, he really has. It was the penalties that
2:14:28
really hurt him in the first half along with the turnover,
2:14:31
but otherwise his game plan and his call of this
2:14:34
game has been outstanding.
2:14:35
Speaker 2: It hasn't and the execution's been quite well. And again
2:14:40
I like that Utah I had to play a feisty,
2:14:42
pesky opponent getting ready for conference play.
2:14:48
Speaker 1: In a new quarterback in the ball game, Landon Simms
2:14:51
will close this thing out from East Central Mississippi Junior
2:14:54
College hands the ball off the run straight ahead. That's
2:15:03
Max White, the graduate transfer from Iowa.
2:15:08
Speaker 3: Okay, hang on just a second.
2:15:09
Speaker 2: You said East Central Mississippi Junior College.
2:15:12
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, that's a lot of direction and a lot
2:15:15
of junior.
2:15:16
Speaker 1: I think that's the school that was in that Netflix
2:15:19
documentary a few years ago. Oh yeah, second down. We're
2:15:23
calling about six to go. This could be the final
2:15:27
play of the game if Wyoming chooses to go that
2:15:29
way hand off again, Max White again picks his way forward,
2:15:36
picks up four more yards. As we're under thirty five
2:15:41
seconds to play. Wyoming doesn't have to snap it again
2:15:43
if they don't want to, but maybe they want to.
2:15:46
We'll see twenty five, twenty four to twenty three, twenty
2:15:51
two and twenty one playclock not an issue at this
2:15:55
point in time, you have they gonna snap it. It
2:15:57
looks like one more time third down and one their
2:16:00
own thirty four yard line. Maybe sims in the shotgun
2:16:07
and a flag flies.
2:16:08
Speaker 3: Wow procedure.
2:16:10
Speaker 1: I think per sedure on the Wilming offensive line. I
2:16:14
think they got the left tackle Jake Davies delay game defense.
2:16:21
It's a five yard penalty results in the first down
2:16:24
simulating the snap call. I guess that will be penalty
2:16:29
and check this on Utah.
2:16:31
Speaker 2: Look when no one's in the stands, you can hear
2:16:33
what these defensive linemen are saying. They're talking the whole game.
2:16:38
Speaker 1: Penalty number ten on Utah.
2:16:40
Speaker 3: That's a Luther Ellis thing.
2:16:41
Speaker 1: Ten penalties ninety eight yards on the utes. This will
2:16:45
be the final play of the game. Six seconds left.
2:16:48
They handed to white Is dropped behind the line of scrimmage,
2:16:52
and that'll be the ball game. It wasn't pretty always
2:16:57
in this one. Utah led throughout, but in the second half,
2:17:01
whatever Kyle Whittingham said to the boys at halftime certainly
2:17:04
took because Utah came out on a mission, scoring on
2:17:08
four consecutive drives. And they win this game tonight by
2:17:12
a final score of thirty one to six. And it's
2:17:14
a great night to be a ute here in Laramie, Wyoming.
