- 1:27Speaker 5: I literally haven't been in a stadium with this much
- 1:30Speaker 5: red since the Sugar Bowl.
- 1:32Speaker 4: It is awesome.
- 1:33Speaker 5: As Scott said, it is definitely favored in the Utah
- 1:37Speaker 5: section right here. This is awesome. But I can't it's
- 1:41Speaker 5: straight enough. How bad this team is focused in right now.
- 1:46Speaker 5: Coach Whittingham was repeating in the locker room over and over,
- 1:49Speaker 5: play fast, play together, play fast, pray together. So anything
- 1:54Speaker 5: that happens, they'll be ready to go and they'll be
- 1:56Speaker 5: playing together.
- 1:56Speaker 4: It's gonna be an amazing football game.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Soly, thank you Utah one the Austin as they've done
- 2:00Speaker 2: for the last month and a half.
- 2:02Speaker 1: They want the football they will receive.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Britain Covey, in his final game as a ute, stands
- 2:07Speaker 2: at the goal line Noah Ruggles, who handles kickoffs for
- 2:10Speaker 2: Ohio State, has it teed at his own thirty five
- 2:13Speaker 2: yard line, one hundred thousand on hand, millions worldwide watching
- 2:17Speaker 2: and listening Utah fans. Here we go.
- 2:21Speaker 1: It's the Rose Bowl twenty twenty two and we're underway.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Covey will be able to return this win.
- 2:26Speaker 2: He'll take it from the ten Briton Covey to the
- 2:28Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty twenty five and after the thirty yard
- 2:31Speaker 2: line goes Britton Covey, and that's where Utah will begin
- 2:34Speaker 2: first and ten. After a twenty yard return on the
- 2:37Speaker 2: opening kickoff, Cam Rising will lead the Utah offense out.
- 2:41Speaker 2: They wear the all white uniform with crimson trim, the interlocking.
- 2:45Speaker 1: U logo with the rose on the helmet.
- 2:48Speaker 2: The same uniform save the helmet they wanted one with
- 2:51Speaker 2: at USC a couple of months ago.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Scott, Yeah, it's a good look for Utah and just
- 2:56Speaker 3: I find it so fascinating. Here you have Kyle Whittingham
- 2:58Speaker 3: and defensive minded coach, and all year he's elected to
- 3:01Speaker 3: take the football offensively. The offense is really set the
- 3:04Speaker 3: tone for this football team all year.
- 3:06Speaker 1: TJ.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Pledger will begin of the ball game. On first and ten,
- 3:08Speaker 2: they'll market at the twenty nine yard line, Rising operating
- 3:12Speaker 2: out of the shotgun, the Southern California native. Two receivers,
- 3:15Speaker 2: two tight ends. Pledger motions out of the backfield. Rising
- 3:18Speaker 2: looks throws over the middle. Complete. He's got a tight
- 3:21Speaker 2: end out to the thirty nine yard line for ten
- 3:23Speaker 2: yards and that will be a first mile first down
- 3:26Speaker 2: by Cole Fotheringham. That's the Fatheringham route we've seen all
- 3:29Speaker 2: year long. And it goes for a first down.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's at that backside route where you have
- 3:32Speaker 3: the running back and just a tight end over there.
- 3:35Speaker 3: It's a very high percentage play. Great call on first down.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Get kind of the coblets out, get all the excitement going.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Great completion for a first down for Utah.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Pledger stays in the ballgame. Cam stays in the shotgun.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Three wide receivers at a tight end. Covey across the formation.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Here on first and ten, they motion and now they
- 3:53Speaker 2: throw the screen pass at the feed and incomplete. Try
- 3:56Speaker 2: to get that ball to brand Keithy. Cam rising in
- 4:00Speaker 2: pressure in his face that time. It goes in complete.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Second down in ten coming up.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Yeah, Cam just rusts out just a little bit, and
- 4:05Speaker 3: you know those are kind of those screen passes. They
- 4:07Speaker 3: work off a little bit of timing. His timing gout,
- 4:09Speaker 3: like got some pressure. He just needs to keep retreating
- 4:13Speaker 3: because you know you're gonna have a big play. You
- 4:14Speaker 3: want those defenders to come into you. But he just
- 4:16Speaker 3: he just threw the ball a little quick and threw
- 4:18Speaker 3: it in the dirt.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Three tight ends left, one wide receiver right, tavy On
- 4:22Speaker 2: Thomas in the ball game for the first time. Seven
- 4:25Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage for Ohio State on second
- 4:27Speaker 2: down in ten from the forty yard line, rising under center,
- 4:30Speaker 2: Cam turns and gives it Tavyyond Thomas second level forty
- 4:33Speaker 2: five fifty and down to the Ohio State forty nine
- 4:37Speaker 2: yard line goes the Dayton navy of Tavon Thomas. That'll
- 4:40Speaker 2: be eleven yards and a first mile first down. Linebackers
- 4:43Speaker 2: Steel Chambers made what might have been a touchdown saving tackle.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a shoe string away from that being a
- 4:49Speaker 3: touchdown right there. But that's that straight ahead, downhill running
- 4:53Speaker 3: that we talked about. This is what the Utah offensive
- 4:55Speaker 3: line likes to do. Ohio State plays a three down line,
- 4:58Speaker 3: so there should be some ap there for Utah to
- 5:01Speaker 3: run through.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Three tight ends right de Von Vley on the left
- 5:03Speaker 2: hand side, McKai Bernard in the ball game for the
- 5:05Speaker 2: first time. They'll play action roll to the right with
- 5:08Speaker 2: Cam Rising fifty forty five rising and down to about
- 5:11Speaker 2: the forty four yard line. They'll give him six on
- 5:14Speaker 2: the quarterback keeper on first down. It was a linebacker,
- 5:17Speaker 2: Tommy Eigenberg that made the tackle. And they're gonna use
- 5:21Speaker 2: Cam Rising running this football today.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Scott, Yeah, And I think this was designed all the
- 5:24Speaker 3: way because that fake to the back was really really quick.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Cam saw it got around the edge. One of the
- 5:30Speaker 3: things that's super surprising about Cam is how fast he
- 5:33Speaker 3: is as a quarterback.
- 5:34Speaker 2: You've got Keithy and Enis to the right, Covey and
- 5:37Speaker 2: Vley to the left, tavy On Thomas back in the game.
- 5:39Speaker 2: On second and four from the Ohio State forty four
- 5:42Speaker 2: yard line, Buckeyes crowded the line of scrimmage, flanker screened
- 5:46Speaker 2: to the outside and Cam over shot Britain Covey by
- 5:48Speaker 2: a mile. That ball might have been deflected at the
- 5:50Speaker 2: line of scrimmage too. They tried to get that out
- 5:52Speaker 2: to Covey in space and it may have been tipped
- 5:54Speaker 2: in the line of scrimmage that time it'll be third
- 5:56Speaker 2: down and four coming.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Up, or it may not have. I mean, Cam, it
- 6:00Speaker 3: seems a little bit excited right now. I mean to
- 6:03Speaker 3: and rightfully so, you know. But it's tough to throw
- 6:07Speaker 3: it over the top of an unblocked line. When you
- 6:10Speaker 3: got to throw it, or you really do, it's hard
- 6:11Speaker 3: to go over the top of you go over to
- 6:13Speaker 3: the top of you usually throw it like Cam did there.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Third down and four pledgure checks in the ball game
- 6:17Speaker 2: here for Utah rising under center, and what do we have.
- 6:21Speaker 2: It's like a time out taken here, time out taken
- 6:27Speaker 2: by the Ohio State Buck guys, it'll be there first.
- 6:30Speaker 2: We're gonna keep it right here. Our first half being
- 6:32Speaker 2: brought to you by Bud Light. A light is for
- 6:35Speaker 2: the fans, and they have been all year long for
- 6:36Speaker 2: the Big O' Tires broadcast booth. Utah facing a third
- 6:39Speaker 2: and four from the Ohio State forty four yard line.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Based on what we've seen, Scott, if they pick up
- 6:44Speaker 2: anything just shy of a first down, I'm guessing this
- 6:46Speaker 2: is four down territory for Kyle Whittey.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure it absolutely is. And that play early
- 6:52Speaker 3: in this series, the first play where you went to
- 6:54Speaker 3: that tight end. Look look for Utah to do that
- 6:56Speaker 3: again here those plays, there's a lot of holes in
- 6:59Speaker 3: this defense. It's it front or this these linebacker situation.
- 7:03Speaker 3: It's a great mismatch for Utah here. You know, look
- 7:06Speaker 3: for whether it's Cole Fotheringham or Keithy here, you know,
- 7:09Speaker 3: possibly Kincad and maybe the other option here for Utah
- 7:13Speaker 3: is just to bring in three tight ends and try
- 7:15Speaker 3: to run the ball a couple of times to get
- 7:17Speaker 3: a first down.
- 7:18Speaker 2: A couple of times they've run it, they've been successful.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Tavi On Thomas, you're back two receivers left, a tight
- 7:24Speaker 2: end and a receiver to the right hand side. Here
- 7:26Speaker 2: on third down and four for the Buckeye forty four,
- 7:28Speaker 2: tavy On Thomas stands six yards behind Cam rising Cam
- 7:32Speaker 2: under center, third and four Ohio State with eight in
- 7:34Speaker 2: the box, turning a gift. Tavy On Thomas bounting to
- 7:37Speaker 2: the outside, pushing the pile and he gets back to
- 7:40Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. And that's about it. We'll see
- 7:43Speaker 2: if Utah goes for it. I don't think they will. Here.
- 7:45Speaker 2: It looks like the punt team's getting ready to come
- 7:47Speaker 2: out here. Buckeyes did a good job on third down. Yeah,
- 7:51Speaker 2: here comes the punt team.
- 7:53Speaker 3: They really did. Utah just ran two lateral there and
- 7:55Speaker 3: he just didn't get that movement up front. Very aggressive
- 7:59Speaker 3: in that front. Look for some bootlegs later on play action.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Move the pocket. Those players are open for Utah.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Offensively, Cam Peasley, the Aussie back into punt here for
- 8:09Speaker 2: Utah Ohio State. The safe punt situation. Peasley gets his
- 8:12Speaker 2: kick away.
- 8:13Speaker 1: It's high.
- 8:13Speaker 2: It's end over n fair catch called for and taken
- 8:16Speaker 2: at about the nine yard line by Jackson Smith and Jigba.
- 8:20Speaker 2: And that will take us to a time out. Here
- 8:22Speaker 2: the first quarter at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
- 8:25Speaker 2: I believe red hat is on the field. Are we
- 8:27Speaker 2: gonna get a time out? Yes, we will time out
- 8:31Speaker 2: on the field. Utah zero and Ohio State zero from Pasadena, California.
- 8:36Speaker 2: The Big O' Tires broadcast boot This is Utah football
- 8:39Speaker 2: from learfield.
- 8:40Speaker 3: The line of scrimmage.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Stroud backs up into the shotgun on second down to
- 8:46Speaker 2: nine flexes four wide receivers into the formation. Henderson next
- 8:50Speaker 2: to him in the backfield. Utah was six at the
- 8:52Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. Now they back out. Stroud's gonna change
- 8:56Speaker 2: the play at the line of scrimmage. Now play clock
- 8:58Speaker 2: ticking down. Stroud in the pistol formation now turns and
- 9:02Speaker 2: gives it Treveon Henderson trying to bounce into the outside
- 9:05Speaker 2: going nowhere again picked up one, maybe two. Utah was
- 9:08Speaker 2: ready out on the edge that time. Niephi Sewer was
- 9:11Speaker 2: there on the tackle along with Fonte Davis. I'll bring
- 9:14Speaker 2: up third down and long here for the buck Eyes.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Ye, And this is interesting because Ohio State calls a
- 9:18Speaker 3: place from the sideline. Utah throwed. It showed a single
- 9:20Speaker 3: high safety, which is a throw look, and then they
- 9:23Speaker 3: went to too deep and he tried to check the
- 9:25Speaker 3: play late but jidn't really wasn't very effective.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Third down in seven for the buck Eyes.
- 9:30Speaker 2: As it gets loud here at the Rose Bowl, seventy
- 9:33Speaker 2: thousand plus in Utah red here today, Stroud backs up
- 9:37Speaker 2: into the gun. Third down in seven, he'll pass back
- 9:40Speaker 2: pedals pressure coming up the middle, pumps once fires, Long
- 9:44Speaker 2: has Smith and Jig but down there broke it up.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Incomplete coverage by Clark Phillips stride first stride with Smith
- 9:51Speaker 2: and Jigbuff got his hand up and knocked it away
- 9:53Speaker 2: in complete and the buck guys go three and our.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Yeah, that was an interesting look, great play by Clark Phillips.
- 10:00Speaker 3: I mean he's right there to make the play on
- 10:01Speaker 3: the wide receiver. Utah had they had what they brought
- 10:07Speaker 3: the safeties down on that look, and I mean if
- 10:09Speaker 3: they would have made a good throw, that would have
- 10:10Speaker 3: been a big play for Ohio State.
- 10:12Speaker 2: But he had lots of time to throw it to. Yeah, Mirco.
- 10:15Speaker 2: On the punt from his own end zone, Couvey stands
- 10:17Speaker 2: at his own forty eight yard line. Jesse Mirko will
- 10:20Speaker 2: rug be it out and kick it away end over end.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Cuvey's gonna look up fair catch it at about his
- 10:26Speaker 2: own forty three yard line, and that's where Utah will
- 10:29Speaker 2: take over first and ten. So the defense did its
- 10:32Speaker 2: job at the opening drive. A forty three yard punt,
- 10:34Speaker 2: no returning, good starting field position scot right here for
- 10:37Speaker 2: the Utah offense.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. I mean you got to feel
- 10:39Speaker 3: good about the secondary. Look. McKai Bernard playing cornerback is
- 10:44Speaker 3: pretty crazy. And right now, I don't know that Ohio
- 10:47Speaker 3: State knows that I don't know, and I think, oh,
- 10:49Speaker 3: they'll know soon. I hope so, because it'll be interesting
- 10:53Speaker 3: to see if he gets tested out there. But so
- 10:55Speaker 3: far they didn't throw the ball in his direction.
- 10:58Speaker 2: TJ Pledger of the backfield other California in nadium, declaring
- 11:01Speaker 2: to go pro. Cam Rising under center, two tights and
- 11:04Speaker 2: two wides here on first and ten Ohio State with
- 11:07Speaker 2: five in the line of scrimmage, Rising turns and gives it.
- 11:10Speaker 1: TJ.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Pledger through the hole to the forty nine yard line,
- 11:13Speaker 2: picks up five yards on first down. Good job out
- 11:16Speaker 2: on that right side by the tackle Rayton Daniels and
- 11:19Speaker 2: tight end. Now, Utah is gonna go with some tempo, Scott.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Second down in five, Cam backs up into the shotgun.
- 11:24Speaker 2: He'll take the snap throw over the middle, caught right
- 11:26Speaker 2: there by Keithy inside the Ohio State forty down to
- 11:30Speaker 2: the thirty nine yard line. That's a first mile first down.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Utah is gonna keep going with tempo right here, Scott, Yeah,
- 11:35Speaker 2: keep it going. I mean it's working. First and ten
- 11:38Speaker 2: from the Ohio State thirty nine yard line, turn and
- 11:40Speaker 2: give again. TJ Pledger through a hole and down to
- 11:43Speaker 2: about the thirty six for a gain of three yards.
- 11:46Speaker 2: We'll see if they keep going with tempo here, they're
- 11:48Speaker 2: gonna slow it up just a little bit.
- 11:49Speaker 1: It looks like no substitutions. But here they go with
- 11:52Speaker 1: tempo again.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Second down in seven at the Ohio State thirty six,
- 11:56Speaker 2: rising out of the shotgun, backs up, takes the snap, surveys,
- 11:59Speaker 2: throws long.
- 12:00Speaker 1: He's got Keithy out there.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Keithy up and is complete, but past interference and about
- 12:05Speaker 2: the five yard line. Keithy handed for a moment, lost it,
- 12:08Speaker 2: but he was bumped by the Ohio State defensive back
- 12:11Speaker 2: Court Williams, and Utah is gonna have a first down
- 12:14Speaker 2: just outside the twenty yard line.
- 12:16Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been a great a great catch
- 12:17Speaker 3: there by.
- 12:18Speaker 6: Keithy defense number two, fifteen yard Kennedy from the previous spot.
- 12:23Speaker 6: What amount a first down?
- 12:24Speaker 2: Brittin Coby told me this week, Scott, they were going
- 12:26Speaker 2: to take some shots down the field.
- 12:28Speaker 1: We saw it right there to Keithy.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Again, it's that aggressive mindset and Cam just got to
- 12:32Speaker 3: get this ball out a little bit further. He would
- 12:34Speaker 3: have had Keithy there, but going after Ohio State putting
- 12:38Speaker 3: him on their heels here early in the game. Is
- 12:40Speaker 3: such an important thing for Utah. Get it in their
- 12:43Speaker 3: head that it's it's gonna be a long day on
- 12:45Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. Here. I love that Utah
- 12:47Speaker 3: is doing this.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Ki Bernard checks into the ball game here as the tailback.
- 12:51Speaker 2: They'll operate out of the shotgun. Two receivers right, two
- 12:54Speaker 2: tight ends as well. Here for the University of Utah
- 12:56Speaker 2: and the Ohio State twenty two yard line. Rising takes
- 12:59Speaker 2: the snap. He's gonna keep it himself straight up the middle,
- 13:01Speaker 2: cam to the twenty and down to about the nineteen
- 13:04Speaker 2: yard line for a game in three. As I said,
- 13:06Speaker 2: they're gonna use the quarterback run today.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you think in these games you just
- 13:11Speaker 3: you don't hold anything back. I mean, you're trying to
- 13:13Speaker 3: protect your quarterback during the season from taking some of
- 13:16Speaker 3: those unnecessary shots. But he's got all off season to
- 13:20Speaker 3: get over the bumps and bruises.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Second down and seven into the University Federal Credit Union
- 13:24Speaker 2: red zone for the first time today from the Utah
- 13:26Speaker 2: Ohio State nineteen yard lot. Money parks Devon Valley to
- 13:31Speaker 2: the right, Britain Covey to the left, TJ Pledger in
- 13:34Speaker 2: the ball game here for Utah. He motions out five
- 13:37Speaker 2: wide look for Utah rising back pedals, look, surveys throws
- 13:40Speaker 2: in the flat. He's got Covey to the five to
- 13:43Speaker 2: the end zone, touchdown, touchdown.
- 13:46Speaker 7: Britt Covey found himself open in the slot and went
- 13:51Speaker 7: untouched to the end zone.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Touchdown. Utah.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Well, what a great read here, what a great call
- 13:58Speaker 3: because Ohio State is kind of showing a lot of
- 14:00Speaker 3: glitzes with those linebackers. Utah spreads them out. I mean,
- 14:03Speaker 3: they don't have anybody in the backfield. I don't think
- 14:05Speaker 3: it's something maybe Ohio State was expecting there. It's such
- 14:09Speaker 3: a fun thing when you catch that ball as a
- 14:11Speaker 3: wide receiver, just turn around, run into the end zone.
- 14:13Speaker 3: From about to twenty.
- 14:14Speaker 2: He caught it in about the ten win on touch
- 14:16Speaker 2: to the goal line and into the end zone for
- 14:18Speaker 2: a Pepsi touchdown. Here's Jaydon reading for the pat It's
- 14:21Speaker 2: up and it's good. First blood drawn today by the
- 14:27Speaker 2: huge nine twenty nine to play. Here the first quarter
- 14:30Speaker 2: at the one hundred and eighth Rose Bowl. Utah seven
- 14:33Speaker 2: and Ohio State nothing. This is Utah football from lear Field.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Today's rosewol broadcast from here at Southern California, brought to
- 14:51Speaker 2: you by Big Ol' Tires. Stop by your locally owned
- 14:53Speaker 2: and operated Big Old Tires for the lowest price on
- 14:56Speaker 2: every tire, plus no credit needed financing Big O Tires.
- 14:59Speaker 2: The tav you trust five plays fifty six yards Rising
- 15:03Speaker 2: to Covey nineteen for the touchdown slide.
- 15:05Speaker 1: What did you see?
- 15:06Speaker 5: Well, first, I got to start with the defense. As
- 15:09Speaker 5: we said in the pregame, the most important thing is
- 15:11Speaker 5: getting off on third down. Clark Phillips and the rest
- 15:14Speaker 5: of this defense is doing a tremendous job. But that's
- 15:16Speaker 5: also playing field position battle.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Right.
- 15:19Speaker 4: We backed Ohio State up by punting the ball.
- 15:21Speaker 5: Initially got a three and out, They punted the ball,
- 15:24Speaker 5: got into the fifty yard line and so we only
- 15:26Speaker 5: had fifty yards to go on offense, Cam Rising went
- 15:29Speaker 5: up tempo, very similar to how we did in the
- 15:32Speaker 5: Sugar Bowl. Controlling the game is exactly what this offensive
- 15:35Speaker 5: game plan is. Slowing it down, speeding it up, and
- 15:38Speaker 5: keeping Ohio State on their toes.
- 15:40Speaker 4: They're not allowed to substitute.
- 15:42Speaker 5: You put Britain Covey in the slot on a linebacker
- 15:46Speaker 5: somebody who can't guard them.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Touchdown slide, thank you very much.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Utah's offense, Scott has looked good, saved that third down
- 15:54Speaker 2: at four and haven't seen a whole lot of resistance
- 15:56Speaker 2: have they from Ohio State?
- 15:57Speaker 3: No, they really haven't. And doesn't know who Utah is.
- 16:01Speaker 3: I mean no one does really And and so you
- 16:04Speaker 3: get this kind of early like we're coming after you
- 16:07Speaker 3: type of mindset, and we're gonna attack you, We're gonna
- 16:09Speaker 3: throw the ball, we're gonna we're gonna go up tempo.
- 16:12Speaker 3: It really starts putting doubt in a team link like
- 16:15Speaker 3: Ohio State's mind. You know, you punch him in the
- 16:17Speaker 3: mouth like slice ed. You know, did it against Alabama
- 16:19Speaker 3: and the Sugar Bowl, and before they knew it, they
- 16:21Speaker 3: were down fourteen to twenty one points.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Jordan Noys said to kick off and Mecca. Buca, standing
- 16:27Speaker 2: at his own two yard line, Noise approaches, puts his
- 16:30Speaker 2: right foot into it high and end over end it.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Buka will take it at the two, to the five,
- 16:35Speaker 2: to the ten, to the fifteen yard line at Mecca.
- 16:37Speaker 2: At Buka stocked up and driven back at the nineteen
- 16:41Speaker 2: yard line, he'll get seventeen on the return. And that's
- 16:44Speaker 2: all slightly better field position starting this time for Ohio State,
- 16:48Speaker 2: but not much better.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Great coverage by the special teams.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Yeah, really good, because that's been a problem at times
- 16:54Speaker 3: during the year. I mean, every time anyone kicks off,
- 16:56Speaker 3: he kind of holds your breath. But right right now,
- 16:58Speaker 3: you know what, what's Ohio, Ohio they gonna do? Because
- 17:00Speaker 3: they clearly had shots down the field. Are they gonna
- 17:03Speaker 3: take them? Are they going to try to attack McKay
- 17:05Speaker 3: Bernard here on the Utah defense? Be interesting to see
- 17:09Speaker 3: what happens.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Smith and Jigbuck in the right slot, Marvin Harrison Junior.
- 17:15Speaker 8: The Clay clock in the north end of the stadium is.
- 17:17Speaker 6: Malfunctioning the twenty five second play clock that we.
- 17:20Speaker 8: Kept on the field.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Okay, Smith and Jigbuck in the right.
- 17:25Speaker 8: Shut down the south end play clock.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Traveon Henderson to the backfield first innten Ohio State. They'll
- 17:31Speaker 2: market at the twenty and eighty yard field here for
- 17:33Speaker 2: the buck Geys trailing seven to nothing to Utah with
- 17:35Speaker 2: nine to twenty two to play here in the first quarter.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Our broadcast being brought to you by Geico today makeing
- 17:40Speaker 2: it easy to bundle your home in car insurance Going
- 17:42Speaker 2: Todiico dot com. That's Geico dot com.
- 17:45Speaker 1: For your quote. Today. CJ.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Stround backs up into the shotgun Trumendus freshman Traveon Henderson
- 17:52Speaker 2: next to in Utah with four at the line, six
- 17:56Speaker 2: at the box here and here we go. Henderson to
- 18:00Speaker 2: pass by Stroud, lots of time, dumps it in the flat.
- 18:03Speaker 2: He's got a complete and that a bounds Smith. That
- 18:05Speaker 2: Jigba was standing by himself on the sideline and picks
- 18:07Speaker 2: up about five to twenty five yard line. It'll be
- 18:10Speaker 2: second down in five.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's gonna be part of the deal. Here,
- 18:13Speaker 3: can that front four or get pressure on. CJ. Stroud
- 18:16Speaker 3: play coverage behind, keep everything in front of you, and
- 18:19Speaker 3: of course Macai Bernard makes the tackle, first tackle for.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Him Smith, that Jigba lighting up in the backfield. This
- 18:24Speaker 2: time around, they'll motion Henderson to the right hand side.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Now two backs in the backfield. Smith the Jigba out.
- 18:31Speaker 2: They throw the flankers screen to him. He's got it
- 18:33Speaker 2: twenty five twenty seven down to about the twenty eight
- 18:36Speaker 2: yard line. He goes, good job by gang tackling that
- 18:39Speaker 2: time alone.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Montela came over. It'll be third down in two Yeah.
- 18:43Speaker 3: When you lose a lot of your playmakers, I mean,
- 18:45Speaker 3: I mean, uh, you know you're gonna you're gonna look
- 18:48Speaker 3: to this guy to be your playmaker right now and
- 18:51Speaker 3: try to get them get him in space and have
- 18:53Speaker 3: see if he can make plays.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Here we go third down in two, low snap, Stroud
- 18:57Speaker 2: throwing the flanker screen in complete. He skipped it out
- 19:01Speaker 2: to the wide receiver on a low snap that I'll
- 19:03Speaker 2: bring up fourth down at two and will Ryan Day
- 19:05Speaker 2: go for it here? I think he's going to keep
- 19:07Speaker 2: the offense out there. Scott, Wow, that is bold right there.
- 19:10Speaker 3: I mean, you're at the twenty eight yard line.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Nope, he's gonna bring the putter out now. He thought
- 19:15Speaker 2: about it for just a minute. Now the punt team
- 19:16Speaker 2: will come out. There's a lot of time in this
- 19:18Speaker 2: game age twenty two to play in the.
- 19:20Speaker 3: First But when you see that hesitation, you start to
- 19:23Speaker 3: get a sense that Ohio State is maybe not really
- 19:25Speaker 3: sure about this football game.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Covey in his own twenty seven Mirco, the freshman out
- 19:31Speaker 2: of Austin, Australia who averages forty two yards a kick,
- 19:34Speaker 2: stands in an old thirteen yard line. He'll rug be
- 19:37Speaker 2: it to the right hand side. Get that kick away.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Kick it away from Britain Covey. He's going to reach
- 19:41Speaker 2: up in fair catch it and about the thirty two
- 19:44Speaker 2: yard line, and that's where Utah will take over when
- 19:46Speaker 2: we get back. Eight fifteen to play here at the
- 19:49Speaker 2: first of the Rose Bowl. Good start for Utah. Thirty
- 19:52Speaker 2: nine yard punt, no return, Utah seven, Ohio State nothing.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Happy New Year's to one and all. This is Utah
- 19:58Speaker 2: football from Learfield in Utah.
- 20:01Speaker 8: This is.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Today's Utah football broadcast from the Rose Bowl, being brought
- 20:07Speaker 2: to you by a red Box. They've got the latest
- 20:08Speaker 2: hit movies like the suspense thriller, The Conjuring Three, The
- 20:12Speaker 2: Devil Made Me Do It. Visit them online at redbox
- 20:14Speaker 2: dot com for all the ways to watch Bill Riley,
- 20:16Speaker 2: Scott Mitchell upstairs, Stevens and Sylvester downstairs. We've got eight
- 20:20Speaker 2: to fifteen to play here. In the first quarter, Ohio
- 20:22Speaker 2: State's gone three and out twice. Utah's got a touchdown.
- 20:26Speaker 2: They've moved the ball pretty well. They've got it back
- 20:28Speaker 2: now first and ten at their own thirty three yard lines.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Got yeah, And I just like that up tempo move.
- 20:34Speaker 3: I like throwing the ball to the tight ends early
- 20:36Speaker 3: just because gets Cam Rising comfortable. There's mismatches and these
- 20:41Speaker 3: are really good players, get all these tight ends involved,
- 20:44Speaker 3: and what's happening here, and you just kind of just
- 20:47Speaker 3: keep moving the ball. And Utah is getting eight ten
- 20:50Speaker 3: yards those on those quick, simple throws like that, and
- 20:53Speaker 3: it just starts wearing on a defense. And because you
- 20:56Speaker 3: can't get pressure on the quarterback, and that's what Ohio State,
- 21:00Speaker 3: you know, is trying to do, and they're just not
- 21:01Speaker 3: able to do it.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Pledge of the back of the game in this time
- 21:04Speaker 2: for Utah's they begin first and ten on their third
- 21:06Speaker 2: drive of the ball game. For their own thirty three
- 21:09Speaker 2: TG is Socalm native. Grew up down here, always dreamed
- 21:12Speaker 2: of playing in the Rose Bowl.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Now he's got his chance.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Keithy vele and Pledger to the right, Kincaid and fothering
- 21:19Speaker 2: him to the left, empty backfield. Out of the shotgun,
- 21:22Speaker 2: Cam Rising, Ohio State showing pressure here they come.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Rising looks throws over.
- 21:27Speaker 2: The middle, caught beyond the forty's still on his feet
- 21:29Speaker 2: forty five fifty, forty five.
- 21:31Speaker 9: Forty and down he goes Bran Keithy through the Buckeyes
- 21:37Speaker 9: for a Utah first down in the buck eye territory
- 21:40Speaker 9: to the Ohio State forty yard line.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's just a lot of want to right there.
- 21:45Speaker 3: I mean, he gets out of three tackles right there,
- 21:47Speaker 3: four tackles, five tackles, and you have these three tight ends,
- 21:51Speaker 3: but you spread them out, you get these mismatches against
- 21:53Speaker 3: Ohio State. And Cam's finding the right.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Guy twenty seven yards on the pitch and catch first
- 21:58Speaker 2: and ten Utah on the move again, Tabyon back of
- 22:02Speaker 2: the ball game, Cam changing the play, bringing Salomoninus to
- 22:05Speaker 2: the right hand side here under center, turning giving taby
- 22:08Speaker 2: On Thomas bouncing into the second level, keeping those feet moving,
- 22:11Speaker 2: pushing the pilot, getting down to the thirty five yard
- 22:14Speaker 2: line for a gain of five. It's a big game
- 22:16Speaker 2: today for Tavion Thomas. He grew up about an hour
- 22:19Speaker 2: from Ohio State. They recruited him early in his career
- 22:22Speaker 2: Scott and they faded away and he ended up starting
- 22:25Speaker 2: his career at Cincinnati.
- 22:26Speaker 1: So he's got a little extra juice here today.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Yeah, and that is a good, good play on first
- 22:32Speaker 3: down there. But Utah just establishing itself at the line
- 22:35Speaker 3: of scrimmage here with these offensive linemen, which is creating
- 22:38Speaker 3: these opportunities.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Cobby in the eye, he'll motion out. Now, they'll shift
- 22:42Speaker 2: everybody around. Two tight ends on the right hand side.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Pledger comes in and here comes Covey across the formation,
- 22:47Speaker 2: turning to give TJ.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Pledger straight ahead thirty and topples down to.
- 22:51Speaker 2: The twenty nine yard line for a gain of six
- 22:54Speaker 2: and a first mile first down.
- 22:55Speaker 1: A big hole up the middle for TJ. Pledger.
- 22:59Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of a lot of the players have
- 23:00Speaker 3: been these straight ahead runs. That's a counter there, and
- 23:05Speaker 3: they bring the tight end to the backside. And Pledger
- 23:08Speaker 3: almost broke that one too. I mean he barely got
- 23:10Speaker 3: tackled there and up ended. But there are some big
- 23:13Speaker 3: creases in this defense right now for Ohio State.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Seven first downs for Utah, none for Ohio State so far.
- 23:19Speaker 2: First and Tampa the buck eye twenty nine yard line.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Covet the ocean man, Pledger behind rising, turning an inside
- 23:26Speaker 2: hand off. Now a half back pass. Cupy's gonna keep
- 23:29Speaker 2: it to the twenty five to the twenty two, and
- 23:32Speaker 2: down he goes.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Britton was trying to throw that ball downfield.
- 23:36Speaker 2: The TJ. Pledger he was covered, but as he's done
- 23:39Speaker 2: a number of times this year, makes something out of
- 23:42Speaker 2: nothing and picks up nine yards almost nine yards second down.
- 23:45Speaker 3: At two coming up, look, reverse pass, trick play passes
- 23:50Speaker 3: with Britton Covey haven't worked ever. That's the best result
- 23:53Speaker 3: you got. And I said it in the pregame they
- 23:55Speaker 3: were probably gonna see something like that we did, and
- 23:57Speaker 3: it kind of I mean, it's a great result by
- 23:59Speaker 3: cove but not the intended result.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Three wide receivers and McKay Bernard at the ball game,
- 24:05Speaker 2: secondy two for the Buckeye twenty one yard line. Bernard
- 24:07Speaker 2: motions out, Cam's gonna keep it himself straight ahead, twenty
- 24:10Speaker 2: on his feet, dodging a tackle at diving down to
- 24:13Speaker 2: about the sixteen yard line for a gain of five
- 24:15Speaker 2: and a first mile, first down, second trip inside the
- 24:18Speaker 2: University Federal Credit Union red zone and Utahs moving.
- 24:21Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is another design quarterback run. And they
- 24:25Speaker 3: showed the kind of screen to the left and but
- 24:27Speaker 3: what what Utah's doing is is there you know, with
- 24:30Speaker 3: the play action, the throwback to Covey, it's just again,
- 24:34Speaker 3: it's just putting that thought in Ohio State's mind is
- 24:37Speaker 3: worth throwing it all at you today. We're gonna come
- 24:39Speaker 3: at your quarterback, is gonna run, We're gonna throw double pass,
- 24:42Speaker 3: We're gonna do whatever it takes to beat you today.
- 24:44Speaker 3: And that that really starts playing tricks on a defense
- 24:47Speaker 3: and it wears them out after a while.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Covey and val right here comes Britain in motion behind
- 24:52Speaker 2: the quarterback. Cam looks to throw, he rolls out to
- 24:54Speaker 2: his right, dumps it off. He's got to complete. Mackay
- 24:57Speaker 2: Bernard spins out of a tackle and it gets belted
- 25:00Speaker 2: down and about the thirteen yard line for a gain
- 25:02Speaker 2: of three almost four yards on the play. That was
- 25:05Speaker 2: just a little safety valve play. They were trying to
- 25:07Speaker 2: set up something it wasn't there and something at enough
- 25:10Speaker 2: in that time for Utah second down coming up.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this was that screen they were trying
- 25:14Speaker 3: to do earlier in the game, and Ohio State had
- 25:17Speaker 3: kind of seen it once before and they did a
- 25:18Speaker 3: good job of rallying to the ball there. It's fascinating
- 25:22Speaker 3: to watch McKay Bernard here playing on both sides of
- 25:25Speaker 3: the ball and not just playing, but I mean he's
- 25:27Speaker 3: made a tackle, he's got the ball thrown to him.
- 25:30Speaker 3: He's involved.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Second and seven for the Buckeye thirteen tavy On Thomas
- 25:34Speaker 2: back of the ball game here, they're gonna hand it
- 25:36Speaker 2: straight ahead. Tavy On Thomas keeps those feet churning. It
- 25:39Speaker 2: picks up about two to the eleven yard line. Third
- 25:41Speaker 2: down coming up.
- 25:43Speaker 3: The Ohio State right there. Didn't have anybody in the secondary.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Both safeties are up at the line of scrimmage. You
- 25:49Speaker 3: got eight to nine guys there at the line. Utah
- 25:51Speaker 3: blocks them all, and I mean, you're gonna run right
- 25:54Speaker 3: into the end zone. But Ohio State's is saying we're
- 25:57Speaker 3: not going to let you run the ball in the
- 25:58Speaker 3: in the red zone and score a touchdown like you'd
- 26:01Speaker 3: like to do when you're Utah.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Third down and six for the buck Eye eleven.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Rising in the gun, Utah oh for one on third
- 26:10Speaker 2: down trips to the left hand side, single receiver to
- 26:13Speaker 2: the right, and the tight end cam out of the
- 26:15Speaker 2: shotgun brings Bernard back in now motions him out rising
- 26:18Speaker 2: looking to throw, looking to throw, throws the fade end
- 26:20Speaker 2: zone up.
- 26:21Speaker 7: Cut touchdown, touchdown. Fuck kybern on the wheel round twelve
- 26:32Speaker 7: yards from camp rising.
- 26:34Speaker 8: What a throw?
- 26:35Speaker 2: What a better catch? Touchdown? Utah.
- 26:42Speaker 3: McKay Bernard's going, I'm tired. Now, I'm like, I'm tired.
- 26:45Speaker 3: You guys. You guys put me in the game. It's
- 26:47Speaker 3: on me screen routes. You made me run a wheel
- 26:49Speaker 3: route up the sideline and just the perfect spot by Cam.
- 26:53Speaker 3: You gotta throw it to the to the back pylon
- 26:57Speaker 3: right and it's just right there. But I mean it's perfect.
- 26:59Speaker 3: That foot gets in touchdown. Great play, and Ohio State's going,
- 27:04Speaker 3: what the heck? Who is this Utah team? Right here?
- 27:07Speaker 2: You got him isolated on linebacker Tommy Iiken Bergho lost
- 27:12Speaker 2: that battle. Touchdown a pepsi touchdown. The throw for Rising,
- 27:16Speaker 2: his fifth street completion, makes it thirteen to nothing. Here's
- 27:20Speaker 2: Jaydon Redding for the pat It's up and it's good.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Three twenty eight to play. Here the first quarter. It's
- 27:28Speaker 2: Utah fourteen and Ohio State nothing. For the Big O'
- 27:33Speaker 2: tires broadcast booth here at Throse Bowl. This is Utah
- 27:36Speaker 2: football from leir Field. He plays sixty seven yards, four
- 27:49Speaker 2: forty seven off the clock, a twelve yard touchdown from
- 27:52Speaker 2: Rising to McKay Bernard's second touchdown pass to the day
- 27:56Speaker 2: for Cam Rising.
- 27:57Speaker 1: He's six of eight for eighty three yards.
- 28:00Speaker 2: How did you say? It was right at you down there?
- 28:01Speaker 2: How did you see that play?
- 28:03Speaker 5: I was about to jump in the end zone and
- 28:05Speaker 5: yell at the ref and say it was a touchdown,
- 28:08Speaker 5: but the ref got it. It was an amazing play
- 28:10Speaker 5: call by Andy Ludwig. As we said, they are a
- 28:13Speaker 5: really aggressive defense, so you can catch them with misdirections motions,
- 28:17Speaker 5: and that's exactly what we're doing. We're spreading them out
- 28:20Speaker 5: into empty as that was motion the running back back
- 28:24Speaker 5: and send them on a wheel route, getting them on
- 28:26Speaker 5: the linebacker, having them confused. It was a great matchup,
- 28:29Speaker 5: great play call, but even better pass by Cam Rising
- 28:33Speaker 5: and putting it right on the money for Makai Bernard.
- 28:36Speaker 5: It's awesome. Utah is in their bag today. They are
- 28:39Speaker 5: doing everything. But one thing I want to mention before
- 28:42Speaker 5: we start this defensive drive is Utah's doing a lot
- 28:45Speaker 5: of check with mes. Check with means means you changing
- 28:48Speaker 5: the play at the line of scrimmage. Ohio State does it.
- 28:50Speaker 5: They see what the defense is and then they changed
- 28:52Speaker 5: their play. Utah's doing the same thing. So watch Morgan
- 28:55Speaker 5: Scalley change the defensive play as the play going.
- 28:58Speaker 2: On sli first Happy brought to you by bud Light,
- 29:01Speaker 2: probably welcoming the fans back to the Rose Bowl this year.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Remember this Rose Bowl game wasn't played here a year ago.

- 30:07Speaker 2: Utah football. Trevion Henderson back in. He didn't seem to
- 30:10Speaker 2: want to run it much on that last drive. We'll
- 30:12Speaker 2: see if they try to get back.
- 30:13Speaker 3: To it here. No, Utah has done a really good
- 30:16Speaker 3: job against the run as the season's gone on. There
- 30:19Speaker 3: are holes in this secondary for Utah. They got to
- 30:21Speaker 3: clean that up a little bit.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Here we go out of the shotgun.
- 30:24Speaker 2: CJ. Stroud throws that flanker screen to the outside. He's
- 30:28Speaker 2: got to complete the fleming. He's gang tackled immediately and
- 30:30Speaker 2: shoved out of bounds by Cole Bishop and Clark Phillips
- 30:34Speaker 2: after a gain of about eight almost nine yards on
- 30:37Speaker 2: the plane.
- 30:38Speaker 1: They were playing a little soft on that.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is you know, this is c J.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Stroud does a good job of this where he gets
- 30:43Speaker 3: rid of the ball quickly and you got to challenge
- 30:46Speaker 3: him where you know he's not gonna have that easy throw.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Henderson the back Stroud again changing the play tight end
- 30:53Speaker 2: to the left slot.
- 30:54Speaker 1: That's Rucker.
- 30:55Speaker 2: They're checking with the sideline now Ryan Day signal in
- 30:59Speaker 2: the plays Stroud's gotti his play Now pistol formation, Henderson
- 31:05Speaker 2: behind you, tight end to three receivers. Utah was six
- 31:08Speaker 2: and now seven in the box. They handed off to Henderson.
- 31:11Speaker 2: He's got the thirty five bounces outside and he's drilled
- 31:14Speaker 2: and about the thirty nine yard line. I think this
- 31:16Speaker 2: one's gonna go into Ohio State a flag on the play.
- 31:18Speaker 2: I think we're gonna get a hold on big number
- 31:20Speaker 2: seventy nine. We'll see what it goes to Wan Jones.
- 31:24Speaker 6: We'll see holding offense number eighteen ten yard Philloty from
- 31:31Speaker 6: this scot of the foul repeat second.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Down, actually got the wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior. Yes,
- 31:37Speaker 2: the son of the Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, got
- 31:40Speaker 2: caught high for the hold on the outside.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Yeah, and you get that. You get that on this
- 31:43Speaker 3: edge here right here. Yeah, clearly old Clark Phillips.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Is it Phillips?
- 31:47Speaker 3: I think Phillips got hold held there and you can
- 31:50Speaker 3: get away with it in interior, but when you're out
- 31:52Speaker 3: on that edge, you gotta gotta let those guys go.
- 31:56Speaker 2: So we'll call it second down in twenty bagging about
- 31:59Speaker 2: the twenty seven yard line. Stradd will go under center
- 32:02Speaker 2: this time three wides and a tights Henderson the back
- 32:05Speaker 2: behind you turn it a give Treyvon Henderson trying to
- 32:08Speaker 2: bounce it and he falls down. Bishop was there, but
- 32:11Speaker 2: he slipped and fell on the turf at the twenty five.
- 32:14Speaker 2: That'll be a loss of about a yard and a
- 32:15Speaker 2: half and a third down and long coming up here
- 32:17Speaker 2: for the Buckeyes.
- 32:19Speaker 3: And you look at Ohio State and they look just
- 32:22Speaker 3: kind of rusty. You know, they guys are slipping, You
- 32:25Speaker 3: have these holding penalties, quarterbacks kind of throwing the ball
- 32:28Speaker 3: not as accurate, and you have to wonder if that's
- 32:30Speaker 3: the time off or if it's all the new guys
- 32:32Speaker 3: coming in.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Third down and long third down and we're calling about
- 32:36Speaker 2: nine shotgun five wide here, Utah shifting personnel, Stroud calling things.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Utah really shifting now. Stroud checking with the sideline play clock.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Is it expired it has that's gonna be a delay
- 32:52Speaker 2: of game or is it.
- 32:52Speaker 8: A timeout time out? Ohio State, this is their second
- 32:57Speaker 8: charge time out of the half.
- 32:59Speaker 1: It's a second time out, make no mistake about it.
- 33:02Speaker 2: The crowd, the Utah crowd on that end of the
- 33:04Speaker 2: stadium played a role in that scot.
- 33:05Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no question it's the crowd, It's it's you
- 33:07Speaker 3: know again. The Ohio State is sly mentioned they're calling
- 33:11Speaker 3: these plays from the line of scrimmage based on the
- 33:13Speaker 3: look they're getting from the defense. So Utah shows a
- 33:16Speaker 3: look and then late they move out of it to
- 33:18Speaker 3: a different look, and then you Ohio State tries to
- 33:22Speaker 3: change the play again. It's like you try to you
- 33:24Speaker 3: try to get too smart, you try to get too cute,
- 33:27Speaker 3: and you end up having to call it time out.
- 33:28Speaker 3: And but the other thing it does is you don't
- 33:30Speaker 3: get in a rhythm offensively, you know, which is just hard.
- 33:33Speaker 3: It's like, you know, like Utah, where it gets in
- 33:35Speaker 3: a rhythm. They just said, screw it, We're not gonna
- 33:38Speaker 3: We're just gonna go to the line of scrimmage and
- 33:39Speaker 3: just and uh and just make you, make you defend us,
- 33:42Speaker 3: and we're gonna attack you.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Third down and nine. The buck guy's a row for
- 33:47Speaker 2: two on third down today, Can the Utah defense get
- 33:49Speaker 2: them off the field here? Minute and a half to
- 33:51Speaker 2: play here, at the first quarter of fourteen to nothing,
- 33:54Speaker 2: Utah strouted Henderson to the backfield. Three receivers lined up
- 33:58Speaker 2: to the left hand side tight end. Right here the
- 34:01Speaker 2: right slot. Utah showing pressure on CJ. Strou Now they'll
- 34:10Speaker 2: bail out of it. Straw looking pressure coming stepping up
- 34:13Speaker 2: away from the pressure. Is he gonna get there? He
- 34:16Speaker 2: is close. They'll give him the first down. He needed
- 34:19Speaker 2: the thirty five. He got the thirty six just enough
- 34:23Speaker 2: for the Buckey's first first down of the afternoon.
- 34:26Speaker 3: Yeah, and Utah dropped back into his own there and
- 34:28Speaker 3: covered everyone up, and they just didn't quite get to
- 34:30Speaker 3: him in time. He didn't really have anywhere to go.
- 34:33Speaker 2: Little tempo when he throws it in the flat in
- 34:36Speaker 2: complete trying to get it to his tight end.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Ruckert, he just hurried it right there.
- 34:40Speaker 2: He was, I mean, Rutger was staying at all by
- 34:41Speaker 2: himself with the flat second down and ten coming up.
- 34:46Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's it's hard to get into that rhythm,
- 34:49Speaker 3: you know, when you're you're always checking and you just
- 34:52Speaker 3: can't get into the flow of things you've been off
- 34:54Speaker 3: for a while. It's he's just a little bit rusty.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Three wide receivers at tight end and Henders at the
- 34:59Speaker 2: back of the back field out of the shotgun. Stroud
- 35:01Speaker 2: from his own thirty six second down in ten now
- 35:05Speaker 2: changing the protection of the line of scrimmage with Utah
- 35:07Speaker 2: showing five of the line, six of the box.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Here they come.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Stroud back pedals, looks pumps once looking down the sideline
- 35:15Speaker 2: up man, is it caught? It is a tremendous catch
- 35:20Speaker 2: by Henderson out of the backfield all the way to
- 35:24Speaker 2: the Utah thirty nine yard line. Great throw by Stroud.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Bernard had the coverage, couldn't come up with it. First
- 35:30Speaker 2: down Buckeyes.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's just a two two deep coverage
- 35:33Speaker 3: there and he just kind of lets him to the outside.
- 35:35Speaker 3: But that is that is a that's a big time throw.
- 35:38Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's in a two deep look from
- 35:41Speaker 3: the opposite hash and you know that that usually doesn't
- 35:45Speaker 3: happen very often.
- 35:46Speaker 1: It was a bookcom the catch there for Ohio State.
- 35:49Speaker 2: What do we have.
- 35:50Speaker 8: We only give a catch for our first down? Is
- 35:52Speaker 8: under video review time out.
- 35:55Speaker 2: I wondered about that, Kat, I wonder if it's a
- 35:57Speaker 2: control or a foot down issue, because it looked like
- 36:01Speaker 2: he got the foot down. I wonder if you might
- 36:02Speaker 2: have been juggling. And Becca Buka is a true freshman.
- 36:05Speaker 2: You only had six catches on the season coming in here.
- 36:09Speaker 2: We'll take a look at it on the replay. Here
- 36:11Speaker 2: momentarily Mackai Bernard making his first career start. He's playing
- 36:15Speaker 2: two ways today, Charlie Betrek concrete. Charlie would love this well.
- 36:20Speaker 2: But he's playing running back in corner. And actually the
- 36:23Speaker 2: coverage wasn't bad Scott, so.
- 36:27Speaker 3: We're kind of seeing it here just a little bit.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Look, you have controls because there's the right foot down
- 36:37Speaker 2: and yeah, I think that's ketch. It looks like control.
- 36:45Speaker 3: But you know, when you when you're playing that rolled
- 36:47Speaker 3: up corner like that with two two safeties deep, you
- 36:54Speaker 3: have a situation where you you can't let that guy
- 36:56Speaker 3: to the outside like that, let him free. And you know,
- 36:59Speaker 3: I'm I'm picking on Mackay here. Just played corner for
- 37:03Speaker 3: three weeks. Yeah, like never in a game. But you've
- 37:06Speaker 3: got to get up your hands on him. You got
- 37:08Speaker 3: to slow him down. You just can't let him run
- 37:10Speaker 3: free down that sideline.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Here's our referee with the call. I think it's gonna
- 37:13Speaker 1: be a catch.
- 37:19Speaker 6: After video review, we're only going to completely catches confirmed
- 37:22Speaker 6: first down.
- 37:24Speaker 8: Please we set the game clock to forty nine seconds.
- 37:27Speaker 8: It was starting Ready for play signal.
- 37:28Speaker 1: Here's why, Wilson Scott.
- 37:30Speaker 2: We haven't seen a great deal of pressure from that
- 37:32Speaker 2: four man rush from Utah yet, have we.
- 37:34Speaker 3: Now, we really haven't. And that's really kind of the
- 37:36Speaker 3: first time that McKay bernard's been challenged in that secondary
- 37:39Speaker 3: right there. And I'm not sure it was even by design,
- 37:42Speaker 3: I mean because because CJ. Stroud looked a lot of
- 37:45Speaker 3: other places before he threw the ball there.
- 37:48Speaker 2: So first intent, deepest penetration so far the ball game
- 37:51Speaker 2: with forty five seconds, please.
- 37:52Speaker 8: We set the game cluck to forty nine seconds.
- 37:55Speaker 2: For nine for the Ohio State Buckeyes from the Utah
- 37:59Speaker 2: thirty nine Trayveon Henderson, the back two tight ends in
- 38:04Speaker 2: the left slot too wide receivers in the ball game,
- 38:08Speaker 2: man coverage Smith then Jigbump and Clark Phillips turn in
- 38:13Speaker 2: a give Henderson and not much there, but he keeps
- 38:16Speaker 2: those feet moving in a nice run. Actually, he'd be
- 38:20Speaker 2: stopped at about a one yard game picks up three to
- 38:22Speaker 2: the thirty we'll call it thirty one yard line from
- 38:25Speaker 2: the thirty four to the thirty one, and that might
- 38:28Speaker 2: take us to the end of the first quarter, depending
- 38:30Speaker 2: on what Ohio State wants to do here now they
- 38:32Speaker 2: maybe I'm one more play. Twenty seconds on the game clock.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Fourteen to nothing, Utah here, first quarter strouted, the shotgun
- 38:39Speaker 2: now coming up and changing the play at the line
- 38:41Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Look into the sideline again ten seconds, nine seconds,
- 38:46Speaker 2: eight seconds, seven seconds, four to three to one. Takes
- 38:54Speaker 2: the snap, got the playoff, Stroud to pass surveying, looking
- 38:57Speaker 2: being pursued. Throws at the rooker the flat and he's
- 39:00Speaker 2: dropped it about the twenty six yard line.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Got of yards short of the first end.
- 39:04Speaker 8: It's the end of the first quarter. Time out.
- 39:07Speaker 2: A terrific start here at the one hundred eighth Rows
- 39:10Speaker 2: Bowl for the University of Utah, Elid Ohio State. Fourteen
- 39:14Speaker 2: to nothing as we head to the second quarter. You're
- 39:17Speaker 2: listening to the University of Utah football from lair Field.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Today's second quarter of Utah football being presented by KSL Sports.
- 39:33Speaker 2: For all the insider information and action, go to kslsports
- 39:36Speaker 2: dot com.
- 39:38Speaker 1: They've got you covered.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Back here at the one hundred eighth Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California,
- 39:42Speaker 2: Bill Riley, Scott Mitchell, Matt Roblez Ca madding they've spat
- 39:47Speaker 2: a four Alonzo Traviser here keeping us on the air.
- 39:51Speaker 2: James back Att studio of course, slide down on the sideline.
- 39:55Speaker 2: First quarter Utah on hundred and thirty five yards Ohio
- 39:57Speaker 2: State seventy two, eighty three through the air, fifty two
- 40:00Speaker 2: on the ground for Utah, fifty three through the air,
- 40:02Speaker 2: nineteen on the ground for the Buckeyes. Nine first downs
- 40:06Speaker 2: to two, but most importantly, fourteen points for Utah and
- 40:09Speaker 2: none for Ohio States. Buck guys have it third and
- 40:13Speaker 2: very short at the Utah twenty five yard line right
- 40:15Speaker 2: now is beginning second quarters.
- 40:16Speaker 3: Gout, yeah, and in Ohio State may get this first
- 40:19Speaker 3: down here, but Utah holds them to a field goal.
- 40:22Speaker 3: That's a that's a win here. This is this is
- 40:25Speaker 3: a good football team. I mean, Ohio State's an explosive offense.
- 40:29Speaker 3: You're not just gonna shut them out typically, and so
- 40:31Speaker 3: you Utah's just got to slow them down.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Under center on third and short.
- 40:38Speaker 2: CJ. Stroud, Travian Henderson behind him. Stroud now checks with
- 40:43Speaker 2: the sideline again. Utah's got seven now eight near the
- 40:46Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. Two receivers a tight end now that
- 40:51Speaker 2: we've Smith and jigg but the right hand side. Phillips
- 40:54Speaker 2: follows in back. It comes the other way turning a
- 40:57Speaker 2: give Henderson twenty five and that's it.
- 41:00Speaker 1: He didn't get it. They pushed him back.
- 41:02Speaker 2: If they give him this first down, it is the
- 41:05Speaker 2: kindest of all marks because he got to the line
- 41:08Speaker 2: of scrimmage and that was it. They didn't give it
- 41:09Speaker 2: to it. Fourth down and short coming up. Putu Town
- 41:13Speaker 2: and sewell In on the tackle in Ohio State's going for.
- 41:16Speaker 3: It, and you know clearly you you're Utah. You just
- 41:20Speaker 3: say we're not gonna let you run the ball and
- 41:22Speaker 3: did a nice job of getting that penetration and stopped.
- 41:24Speaker 2: To run Straud out of the shotgun. Utah was seven
- 41:27Speaker 2: in the box. Fourth down at short, buck Eyes. It
- 41:30Speaker 2: gets loud again here in Pasadena. Stroud takes the snap,
- 41:35Speaker 2: He'll back pedal to pass, He'll fire one up toward
- 41:37Speaker 2: the end. Zones got a receiver out there, taught touchdown, touchdown,
- 41:41Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior with a touchdown for the buck Eys
- 41:46Speaker 2: on fourth and short. And that was the answer Ohio
- 41:50Speaker 2: State needed here early in the second quarter.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Great pass by Stroud.
- 41:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean your Ohio State. You got
- 41:55Speaker 3: fourth and one and you throw a long fade route
- 41:58Speaker 3: that that says you've got a lot of confidence in
- 42:00Speaker 3: these and these young wide receivers here. You know Utah's
- 42:03Speaker 3: in in man coverage there and just just doesn't make
- 42:06Speaker 3: They just can't make the play there.
- 42:09Speaker 2: I don't know that he was in I think he
- 42:12Speaker 2: got the foot down. Everything reviewed on scoring plays. Here's
- 42:16Speaker 2: the pat ruggles handles that it's been perfect on him
- 42:20Speaker 2: this year and he remains perfect on those pats. So
- 42:24Speaker 2: Ohio State needed an answer, and they got a ten plays,
- 42:27Speaker 2: seventy six yards, four h five off the game clock,
- 42:30Speaker 2: twenty five yards from Stroud to Harrison his first career
- 42:34Speaker 2: touchdown catch and the Buck guys have cut the lead
- 42:38Speaker 2: in half. Here score fourteen to seven. We'll take a
- 42:43Speaker 2: quick time out. We'll be back to the big o'
- 42:45Speaker 2: tires broadcast booth next. This is Utah football from lair Field.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Today's second quarter being brought to you by KSL Sports
- 42:55Speaker 2: and KSL Sports Dot. I'm also being brought to you
- 42:57Speaker 2: by Harley Davidson of Salt Lake, probably supporting of idy
- 43:00Speaker 2: Utah student section. Let's go uts fourteen to seven of
- 43:04Speaker 2: the score. Now Ohio State converted looked a little different
- 43:07Speaker 2: that drive, didn't they slide?
- 43:09Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, yes they did. They're gaining a little
- 43:11Speaker 5: bit of confidence. It was that big third down conversion.
- 43:15Speaker 5: We are holding them the first couple drives. Now they're
- 43:17Speaker 5: going for it on fourth down. Scott mentioned it or
- 43:20Speaker 5: earlier on their first drive or second drive, they were
- 43:22Speaker 5: thinking about going for it in their own end zone,
- 43:25Speaker 5: on their own side of the field on fourth down,
- 43:27Speaker 5: and they hesitated.
- 43:28Speaker 4: Now they're getting confidence.
- 43:29Speaker 5: Their offense is doing stuff, So we do still have
- 43:31Speaker 5: to pay attention of stopping them on third down and
- 43:34Speaker 5: getting them off the field.
- 43:35Speaker 4: You don't want CJ.
- 43:36Speaker 5: Stroud to build confidence, and that's by him throwing more.
- 43:39Speaker 5: We don't want him to get in rhythm because he
- 43:41Speaker 5: started to come back against Oregon earlier in the season
- 43:43Speaker 5: because he got a rhythm.
- 43:44Speaker 4: So we got to knock it out.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Thank you, slide. Noah Ruggles has a teed up at
- 43:49Speaker 2: his own thirty five shadows creeping across here in Pasadena
- 43:54Speaker 2: met a third of the field covered. Now Britain Covey's
- 43:56Speaker 2: standing in his own two yard line right now. He's
- 44:00Speaker 2: got McKay Bernard on the opposite side. But Kybernard's not
- 44:03Speaker 2: going to leave the field today. Apparently, Ruggles approaches, puts
- 44:07Speaker 2: his right foot into it, kicks it high and end
- 44:09Speaker 2: over end, and Covey will bring it out two yards deep,
- 44:13Speaker 2: fifteen to the twenty Britain, Covey twenty and wrapped up
- 44:17Speaker 2: about the twenty one yard line and taken down twenty
- 44:19Speaker 2: one yard return for Britain. Covey and Utah with a
- 44:22Speaker 2: seventy nine yard field. As we begin things first and ten,
- 44:25Speaker 2: I know we've got a lot of fans listening in
- 44:27Speaker 2: from around the world. They gave a shout out to
- 44:28Speaker 2: the Colorado Rillies. I get in trouble if I didn't
- 44:31Speaker 2: get a shout out to the Assault Lake Rileyes.
- 44:34Speaker 3: Well, how many Rileyes are there?
- 44:35Speaker 1: They're everywhere I work everywhere.
- 44:37Speaker 2: Not as many Rillies as Coveys, but I want to
- 44:39Speaker 2: give a shout out to Cindy lu and the Catherine
- 44:42Speaker 2: Nssault Lake Rileies.
- 44:43Speaker 1: I know Young William isn't listening, but you appreciate them.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Tuning into that first and ten, rising under center Tavi
- 44:53Speaker 2: on Thomas the back of the backfield cam changing the
- 44:56Speaker 2: play turning and giving now a play action looking taking
- 45:01Speaker 2: a shot down the field, has it caught beyond the
- 45:03Speaker 2: forty and out of bounds at the forty three, goes
- 45:06Speaker 2: to von Vley twenty two yards of the pitch and
- 45:09Speaker 2: catching the first mile first down, lots of time for
- 45:11Speaker 2: Cam to throw.
- 45:12Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was waiting for this, you know this,
- 45:14Speaker 3: this chunk play down the field. A really nice route
- 45:17Speaker 3: by Viley where he pushes the dB up the field
- 45:20Speaker 3: right at the last second and then he breaks away.
- 45:23Speaker 3: Great timing by Cam and but a really really good
- 45:27Speaker 3: route setting up the dv.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Nol Mark came out at the forty four. That's a
- 45:31Speaker 2: twenty three yard pitch and catch. Tavion stays in two
- 45:34Speaker 2: tights and two wides. Buck Eys was seven in the
- 45:37Speaker 2: box right down rising changing the play again, turns and
- 45:42Speaker 2: gives it to Tavion Thomas. Tavion runs into the pile,
- 45:45Speaker 2: keeps the legs pushing and pulling and moving and picks
- 45:48Speaker 2: up about two yards out of the forty six yard line.
- 45:51Speaker 2: I'm not so sure Tavion needed to bounce that Scott.
- 45:53Speaker 2: It went straight ahead. Might have been the better play there.
- 45:55Speaker 3: Yeah, And that they Utah pulled two big guys and
- 45:59Speaker 3: there was a logjam. I'm there. Those guy's got to
- 46:01Speaker 3: get out of the way to get to get out
- 46:03Speaker 3: of the hole. This is kind of kind of hard
- 46:05Speaker 3: there for Tavan to taxi run again. I like Utah
- 46:09Speaker 3: running straight ahead, though I don't know that these counters
- 46:12Speaker 3: where you pull the linemen are necessarily the best plays
- 46:14Speaker 3: for Utah.
- 46:15Speaker 2: Right now, second down and eight, Cam backs up into
- 46:18Speaker 2: the gun. He's got McKay bernard back there with him.
- 46:21Speaker 2: Three wides and a tight end here for Cam rising,
- 46:24Speaker 2: He's gonna run the option to the outside pitch at
- 46:26Speaker 2: McKay bernard fifty spins forty five of Ohio state flag
- 46:31Speaker 2: comes in from behind. That might be a hold and
- 46:34Speaker 2: maybe Nick Ford on the play he picked up the
- 46:37Speaker 2: yardage needed nine. Let's see what the call is. As
- 46:40Speaker 2: the back judge threw that in Tyreek Smith made the tackle.
- 46:45Speaker 3: Yeah, that flag came from downtown Pasadena mile away holding.
- 46:50Speaker 6: Offense under seventy one san yard Kennewick from the spot
- 46:54Speaker 6: of the foul repeats second down.
- 46:57Speaker 2: Braydon Daniels, the man assessed with that holding penalty, will
- 47:01Speaker 2: take a look at it here. Getting up field. Getting
- 47:03Speaker 2: up field looks like a pretty good block to me.
- 47:07Speaker 2: I didn't see what he grabbed any jersey.
- 47:09Speaker 3: I didn't see anything there. You know, they just see
- 47:11Speaker 3: the guy falling to the ground late and then they
- 47:14Speaker 3: just assume that it's holding and it's really not. And
- 47:17Speaker 3: there was nothing in that play that was wrong.
- 47:19Speaker 1: So back it up ten yards.
- 47:21Speaker 2: It's back of the forty four second down in ten now,
- 47:25Speaker 2: gonna flex some receivers out of the left hand side.
- 47:27Speaker 1: Money parks out there along.
- 47:29Speaker 2: With the von vele. Now they empty the backfield for
- 47:32Speaker 2: Cam rising. Ohio State showing pressure. Cam looking throwing caught
- 47:35Speaker 2: over the middle. That's Botheringham who's got it and he
- 47:38Speaker 2: picks up eight to the Ohio State forty eight yard line.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Paulo was a little low. Cole went down and grabbed it,
- 47:44Speaker 2: did a good job holding on. He's second grabbed today.
- 47:46Speaker 2: Third down and short coming up, really good, A really
- 47:49Speaker 2: good play there for Cole. A better throw and that's
- 47:52Speaker 2: the first down.
- 47:52Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's one of those things where it's his
- 47:54Speaker 3: zone and it's kind of I know Cam was trying
- 47:56Speaker 3: to just hold him right in that spot. It's almost
- 47:58Speaker 3: like just turn around, don't don't go out where the
- 48:00Speaker 3: deep defensive guy is. But a great catch there. Should
- 48:04Speaker 3: have got a little bit more out of that one.
- 48:06Speaker 2: Utah one for two on third down, They've got Tavy
- 48:08Speaker 2: onto the ball game two tights and two wides here
- 48:13Speaker 2: Ohio State crowding a line of scrimmage, turning, give it
- 48:16Speaker 2: to brand Keithy. Keithy breaking to the outside first down yards,
- 48:19Speaker 2: turns the corner and bumped out of bounds at the
- 48:22Speaker 2: Buckeye forty one A game of seven and a first
- 48:25Speaker 2: mile first down on the tight end around.
- 48:27Speaker 3: Yeah, this is kind of the first time Utah has
- 48:30Speaker 3: tried to run wide on. Ohio State is very successful.
- 48:35Speaker 3: You'll have those three tight ends like that. There's so
- 48:37Speaker 3: much you can do. You can run screens or wide
- 48:40Speaker 3: sweeps like that. You can throw the ball, you can
- 48:43Speaker 3: power run inside.
- 48:44Speaker 2: Clock running eleven ten to play here the first half
- 48:46Speaker 2: fourteen to seven Utah and on the move for the
- 48:49Speaker 2: Buckeye forty one three receivers. Right now, they bring Tulton
- 48:53Speaker 2: Kincaid back to the left hand side with Tavy on
- 48:55Speaker 2: Thomas and the backfield ball down cam falls on it,
- 48:59Speaker 2: pulled away a little too soon, lost the yard back
- 49:00Speaker 2: to the forty two yard line.
- 49:02Speaker 1: I think the stat was good. I think Cam just
- 49:03Speaker 1: got a little antsy.
- 49:04Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm not sure why. I mean, it's not
- 49:07Speaker 3: been an issue all season long. Looks like that was
- 49:10Speaker 3: going to be a run before before it ended. But
- 49:13Speaker 3: we'll never know what was gonna happen on that play.
- 49:16Speaker 3: Smart by Cam though, to not try to do too much.
- 49:19Speaker 3: Sometimes you get in these games you try to do more.
- 49:21Speaker 3: Does fall on the ball? Live to play another down.
- 49:23Speaker 3: Let's see what happens here.
- 49:24Speaker 2: Here we go, second down at eleven. Now the Buckeye
- 49:26Speaker 2: forty two. Thomas stays in the ballgame. Cam backs into
- 49:29Speaker 2: the shotgun. Two receivers left, two receivers right. They bring
- 49:32Speaker 2: the tight end Cancadien on the left hand side, and
- 49:35Speaker 2: Cam's gonna pass. Here comes the pass rush looking throwing
- 49:38Speaker 2: out and caught thirty twenty nine and diving to the
- 49:43Speaker 2: twenty seven goes Solomoninis a fifteen yard gain and a
- 49:47Speaker 2: first mile first down.
- 49:48Speaker 3: And that's really really nice maturity by Cam. Rising. He
- 49:52Speaker 3: sits in his pocket, he waits, he doesn't get nervous,
- 49:54Speaker 3: he's got a guy in his face. He throws it
- 49:56Speaker 3: before Solomon is actually broke on the route. Just perfect
- 50:01Speaker 3: timing there. That's something that's exciting about Utah football because
- 50:05Speaker 3: that was where Cam struggled a little bit earlier on
- 50:08Speaker 3: the season.
- 50:08Speaker 2: Ohio State backpedaling a bit now down fourteen to seven
- 50:13Speaker 2: in Utah, moving for the Buckeye twenty seven first and ten.
- 50:17Speaker 2: Thomas at the ballgame, Cam in the shotgun. You're gonna
- 50:20Speaker 2: pass again, looking, looking, looking, surveying, and now gonna run
- 50:23Speaker 2: it rising twenty five twenty to the fifteen and down
- 50:27Speaker 2: to the Ohio State twelve yard line goes Cam Rising
- 50:31Speaker 2: a fifteen yard run and a first mile first down.
- 50:34Speaker 1: Jack Sawyer builted him down at the twelve yard line.
- 50:40Speaker 2: It's a first down in ten for the twelve and
- 50:42Speaker 2: a third trip inside the University Credit Union red zone
- 50:45Speaker 2: today for Utah.
- 50:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and Cam took a pretty good shot there. You know,
- 50:48Speaker 3: you hope he's okay. But what a great job. You know,
- 50:51Speaker 3: you get these quarterbacks that are really good and when
- 50:54Speaker 3: things aren't working, they find a way to make a
- 50:57Speaker 3: big play. C. J. Stroud, you saw that on that
- 50:59Speaker 3: third down time out.
- 51:02Speaker 8: Potential targeting is under video review.
- 51:04Speaker 2: Oh I wouldn't hate that Cam rising right now. Scott
- 51:10Speaker 2: nine of eleven, one hundred and twenty eight yards two touchdowns.
- 51:12Speaker 2: He's completed his least last eight passes.
- 51:15Speaker 3: Yeah, and the two incomplete passes are on probably the
- 51:18Speaker 3: easiest throws he's had on these these screenplays. So Cam
- 51:22Speaker 3: Rising's dialed in right now.
- 51:24Speaker 2: If we've learned anything this year, Remember, targeting does not
- 51:27Speaker 2: have to be above the shoulders like it used to.
- 51:30Speaker 2: It's simply leading with the crown of the helmet to
- 51:32Speaker 2: any point of the body. I didn't see if Jack
- 51:35Speaker 2: Sawyer led with the crown of the helmet, but it
- 51:37Speaker 2: was a big hit by the Ohio State defensive end.
- 51:41Speaker 3: Yeah. And you know, these officials here, they're they're really
- 51:45Speaker 3: trying to kind of err on the side of you know,
- 51:50Speaker 3: safety and just being sure, and so a lot of
- 51:52Speaker 3: times if they if they feel there's even just the
- 51:55Speaker 3: slightest hint that it might, you know, might be an
- 51:57Speaker 3: issue there, they're gonna call. They're gonna call it.
- 52:01Speaker 1: Matt's saying he thinks it's a targeting call.
- 52:04Speaker 3: We'll see, Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Uh, but Matt always thinks everything should go Utah's way.
- 52:11Speaker 3: Well that's how we all think. I mean, it should,
- 52:13Speaker 3: I mean, that's just the way it is. But uh,
- 52:16Speaker 3: Cam took a shot right there. I mean it was
- 52:19Speaker 3: it was a pretty uh, pretty tough blower. And we
- 52:21Speaker 3: haven't seen anything yet. All we're seeing is Briton Covey
- 52:24Speaker 3: highlights here on the on the replay voo, which just
- 52:26Speaker 3: a good thing to see. I mean, I'm not I'm
- 52:29Speaker 3: going to oppose it. I'd like to see Covey's break
- 52:33Speaker 3: one here round. You know.
- 52:38Speaker 1: Yeah, he got the ball in the twelve.
- 52:40Speaker 3: I'm not talking, I'm just talking about in the game,
- 52:42Speaker 3: you know, at some point here. Oh yeah, that's a
- 52:45Speaker 3: that's a target.
- 52:46Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, right here, Jack Sawyer is probably good night.
- 52:51Speaker 3: Good night, Irene. There we go.
- 52:53Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an already thin team.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Ohio State has twenty four scholarship players out today.
- 52:59Speaker 3: I just hope it did their injury, illness or opt out.
- 53:02Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's gonna go. He's gonna go get on
- 53:07Speaker 3: a float and go go ride in the Rose Bowl parade. There, folks.
- 53:13Speaker 2: Our first half today being brought to you by KSL
- 53:16Speaker 2: at kslsports dot com, where they've got you covered. Well,
- 53:18Speaker 2: they're still reviewing this thing. It looks pretty textbook. Well,
- 53:22Speaker 2: we'll see either way. Utah's got it first and ten
- 53:25Speaker 2: at the Ohio State twelve yard line, leading at fourteen
- 53:27Speaker 2: seven with nine to eighteen to play.
- 53:29Speaker 3: Here in the first half, they're taking notes. Here's they're end.
- 53:32Speaker 1: Here's our referee. He'll give us the official call.
- 53:37Speaker 6: After video review number thirty three personal foul targeting is
- 53:42Speaker 6: this qualify?
- 53:43Speaker 8: The penalty is half to this. It's the goal and
- 53:45Speaker 8: an automatic first down.
- 53:47Speaker 2: So now it's first and goal with the six yard line.
- 53:49Speaker 2: Cam's okay, he popped back up. He was ready to
- 53:52Speaker 2: call the nex play. So Utah's got it first and
- 53:55Speaker 2: goal with the six and Jack Sawyer, who was the
- 53:57Speaker 2: top player of the state of Ohio a year ago,
- 54:00Speaker 2: is no longer eligible to play in this ball game today.
- 54:03Speaker 2: Let's see if you Utah can punch it in right here, Scott.
- 54:05Speaker 2: This kind of feels like Tavy on Thomas time right here,
- 54:08Speaker 2: doesn't it.
- 54:08Speaker 3: Well, it's been what what Utah has been so successful
- 54:11Speaker 3: is just pounding the football straight ahead at you. But
- 54:15Speaker 3: but Ohio States sold out to the.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Run Hoary Dalton in gay time.
- 54:18Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised to see a little bootleg here
- 54:21Speaker 3: by Utah.
- 54:25Speaker 2: Three tight ends Tavan Thomas and Solimoninus in the ball game.
- 54:29Speaker 2: Cam goes under a center at first in goal for
- 54:31Speaker 2: the six yard line, Rising turns and gives it tavy
- 54:34Speaker 2: On Thomas and he walks in untouched. That's a touchdown.
- 54:38Speaker 2: Tavyond Thomas untouched from six yards out, his twenty first
- 54:44Speaker 2: of the year, and Utah back up two scores on
- 54:48Speaker 2: the buck guys with nine oh seven to play here
- 54:50Speaker 2: the first half.
- 54:51Speaker 3: I guess if it ain't broke, don't don't try to
- 54:55Speaker 3: fix it. I mean, I mean, I just don't get this.
- 54:58Speaker 3: It's just like they pull the tight end on the tackle.
- 55:01Speaker 3: We'll get loam mea yeah, oh oh no. He likes
- 55:04Speaker 3: doing that those polls. He likes to hit guys coming
- 55:06Speaker 3: around the corner and then and then Keith the seals
- 55:09Speaker 3: off the backside. I mean, it's just like that's how you.
- 55:11Speaker 2: Draw it up right there, Reddings Pat is up and
- 55:14Speaker 2: it's good. Utah fans here in Pasadena, seventy thousand plus
- 55:19Speaker 2: strong enjoy in this one. Nine o seven to play
- 55:22Speaker 2: here the first quarter. It's Utah twenty one in Ohio
- 55:26Speaker 2: State seven. This is Utah football from lear Field back
- 55:40Speaker 2: insign the Big O' Tires broadcast booth here in Pasadena.
- 55:43Speaker 2: The one hundred eighth Rose Bull see our England Frown
- 55:46Speaker 2: sponsored Utah Football. They fed child hungry children all over
- 55:50Speaker 2: the country and in Utah nearly seven million since twenty eighteen.
- 55:54Speaker 2: If you'd like to help text the fire, text the
- 55:57Speaker 2: word fight hunger to forty one four to four four.
- 55:59Speaker 2: That's fight to forty one four four four and geam
- 56:03Speaker 2: up with cring. When that last Pepsi scoring drive nine plays,
- 56:07Speaker 2: seventy nine yards, five oh.
- 56:10Speaker 1: Four off the game clock, cj are Cam.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Rising now nine to eleven, one hundred twenty eight yards,
- 56:17Speaker 2: two touchdowns, eight street completions, and Tavion Thomas gets that
- 56:21Speaker 2: touchdown Scott.
- 56:22Speaker 1: Utah playing really well offensively well.
- 56:25Speaker 3: The big play in that last drive was the chunk
- 56:27Speaker 3: play on that first down play action. Utah has established
- 56:31Speaker 3: a running game and that's what they do. And then
- 56:33Speaker 3: they just build off of that great route by a
- 56:37Speaker 3: Solomoninis and a great throw by Cam and his anticipations,
- 56:41Speaker 3: you know, his comfort with these receivers in this offense
- 56:44Speaker 3: right now, you can see he's just very comfortable in
- 56:47Speaker 3: the pocket. The day and Utah's gonna they're gonna have
- 56:49Speaker 3: to score a lot of points against Ohio State. What's
- 56:53Speaker 3: really cool in this game, though, is there's just this
- 56:56Speaker 3: sea of eruption, you know when something happens, Like it's
- 56:58Speaker 3: really quiet right now, but man, as soon as something
- 57:01Speaker 3: happens for Utah, just the stadium just comes alive.
- 57:04Speaker 8: You know.
- 57:04Speaker 3: It's just what a fun experience to be be a
- 57:07Speaker 3: part of. But if I can shout out really quick, yes,
- 57:09Speaker 3: you shouting out to the Riley Klan, Absolutely, I gotta
- 57:12Speaker 3: shout out to Zach because he's listening as my son, Zach,
- 57:14Speaker 3: he's actually at this game. He's listening to us on
- 57:17Speaker 3: the radio. Zach Andrew. There's Madison and Jamn Jamen might
- 57:22Speaker 3: be my son in law here in a little while,
- 57:24Speaker 3: but they're here at the game having a great time.
- 57:26Speaker 2: Keep your hands to yourself, Jamin, right, stay off the beanbag.
- 57:30Speaker 2: Here's a Jordan Noyce kick high and end over end
- 57:34Speaker 2: like Buka takes it from the goal line out across
- 57:37Speaker 2: the fifteen to the twenty. Lookout at Buka thirty thirty
- 57:41Speaker 2: five and dropped and about the forty yard line. Utah
- 57:45Speaker 2: has been mostly good this year, but every now and
- 57:48Speaker 2: again they let up. And right there at Boca got
- 57:50Speaker 2: a forty yard return, probably thirty nine. He took it
- 57:52Speaker 2: from about the one, and Ohio State continues to get
- 57:55Speaker 2: better and better.
- 57:56Speaker 1: Starting field position here Scott.
- 57:57Speaker 3: Well, you know that kick was a lot, so it
- 58:00Speaker 3: gets to him quick and he gets they can set
- 58:03Speaker 3: up a return and it's just hard to cover that.
- 58:06Speaker 3: You need to kick those get some some hangtime so
- 58:08Speaker 3: that team can get down the field.
- 58:09Speaker 2: CJ. Stroud leads out the offense six of nine, seventy
- 58:12Speaker 2: eight yards and a touchdown. Utah's out rushed Ohio State
- 58:15Speaker 2: here in the first half ninety to nineteen. Stroud operates
- 58:19Speaker 2: under center Mayan Williams behind me red shirt freshman Mayan Williams.
- 58:25Speaker 2: Stroud changing the play, turns and gives it to Williams,
- 58:31Speaker 2: tries to bounce it dancing. Williams breaks a tackle and
- 58:34Speaker 2: now another tackle and spun down at about midfield. As
- 58:38Speaker 2: the best run of the day right there for Ohio State.
- 58:40Speaker 2: Williams picks up ten and an Ohio State first down.
- 58:44Speaker 2: Dan Phillinger made the tackle for Utah. Now tempo coming
- 58:46Speaker 2: here for Ohio State. Stroud takes the snap again. Now
- 58:50Speaker 2: he's gonna throw it. Look along, oh Smith. Then Jigbas
- 58:52Speaker 2: got it twenty fifteen ten five touchdown.
- 59:03Speaker 1: Makai Bernard.
- 59:04Speaker 2: They picked on him Scott and smit then Jigbo went
- 59:07Speaker 2: fifty yards for the touchdown.
- 59:11Speaker 3: Well, I think the cat's out of the bag. Look
- 59:15Speaker 3: as great as story as it sounds. You're just not
- 59:18Speaker 3: gonna get against a great receiver like this and go
- 59:21Speaker 3: man coverage and expect to do anything. I mean, I mean,
- 59:24Speaker 3: he clearly clearly had three or four yards on on McKai,
- 59:30Speaker 3: you know, and did just Mkai didn't even touch him,
- 59:32Speaker 3: So you got to you gotta cover that up. If
- 59:35Speaker 3: you're Utah, you just.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Do pat up, pat good. That was an easy scoring
- 59:39Speaker 2: drive for Ohio State. Two plays, sixty yards and they're
- 59:43Speaker 2: back within a touchdown again. It's twenty one fourteen Utah
- 59:46Speaker 2: with eight thirty two to play here in the first half.
- 59:50Speaker 2: Utah is down three starting corners Baby and Mark's JG.
- 59:54Speaker 2: Broughton and Zemia Von got hurt in the back twelve
- 59:56Speaker 2: championship game. That's the reason McKai Bernard starting right now
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: at the corner spots lie.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: You know, it's not an easy position to play and Jackson.
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: And Jigba is an All American caliber wide receiver what's
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: the adjustment right now from Oregon Scaley.
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, you know, exact, especially when you go up tempo.
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: Up tempo makes the defense get discombobulated and not stay true.
- 1:00:18Speaker 5: They're there, tetnique, and especially if you have mackay Bernard
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: who's just kept on the field the three to four
- 1:00:25Speaker 5: weeks that are as just playing corner, they definitely cats
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: out of the back as as Scott had said, and
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: that's exactly what they saw. They ran the ball quick,
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: got a good run, and then they checked because now
- 1:00:36Speaker 5: McKay Bernard is playing right corner, is on the Ohio
- 1:00:39Speaker 5: State sideline, So now their offensive coordinator is seeing that
- 1:00:42Speaker 5: and they're gonna take advantage.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: Twenty one fourteen Utah eight and a half to play,
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: first half. Ohio State set to kick it. Britain Covey
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: standing in the shadows now that are three quarters of
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: the way across the field. Ruggles approaches, kicks it in
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: over end and Covey's gonna take it from the three
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: to the ten.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: Britten Covey to.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: The fifteen, makes a man miss twenty twenty five, still
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: on his feet here he goes thirty thirty five.
- 1:01:06Speaker 7: Forty here he goes fifty forty five, forty there he goes.
- 1:01:11Speaker 8: He's down the game.
- 1:01:12Speaker 7: He's to the ten to the five touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,
- 1:01:18Speaker 7: britt comingos ninety seven yards.
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: So that's what I was talking about.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: And there are two Buckeyes down on the field as
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: Covey does what Covey does, Hey special Team's delights ninety
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: seven yards of the Utah touchdown.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Well, what's so impressive about this is it becomes a
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: foot race and Britain Covey just runs right by everybody
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: and just a tough run. I mean, I mean he
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: makes a couple of guys missed to the inside, and
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: you just get enough people blocked right there. And of
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: course now you've got Ohio State's you know they got
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: they got everybody on the ground over over here on
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: the on there. Often this is sure how that happened.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: But this is bad news. One of their good players,
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: Lathan Ransom, is down, as is Ryan Batch, a linebacker.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: They're down at the eight, nineteen and twenty two respectively.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: They must have got blocked and blocked good on that
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: that return. You wonder if they got blocked into each other.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: This one looks like they're they're putting some kind of
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: a Oh no, maybe a splinter or something on our lasker.
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: Yeah, it does not look good at all.
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: Wow, Latham is limping off right now. I think that's him. Now,
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: that's Batch. Latham's the one down. Gosh, you wish him
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: the best and Ryan Day peering in. This is a
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: replay you don't want to watch, folks. It's gonna be
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: kind of nasty. So if you're watching at home sinking
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: us up on sinkmygame dot com, you're gonna want to
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: look away from this. This is uh, it's not good,
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: and the cart's about to come out here to take
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: mister Latham off the field. Lat Them Ransom, a sophomore
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: back up at one of their corner and safety spots,
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: gonna need to be carted off the field here. This
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: is the last thing you want to see if you're
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: a sports fan on either side. And here comes the
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: card out, let's grab a brake.
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: We'll do that.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: We'll come back and hopefully have the Pat Britton Covey
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: goes ninety seven yards for a kick return touchdown, his
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: second touchdown of the day. Utah leads at twenty seven
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: to fourteen. Pat pending when we get back eight seventeen
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: to play. This is Utah football from Learfield back inside
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: the Big O'tires broadcast booth. A little bit of a
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: hush has come across the Rose Bowl here after a
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: roar of Utah fans when Covey took that kickback ninety
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: seven yards for a touchdown. Ohio State safety Lathan Ransom
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: is being carted off right now with what looks to
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: be a broken leg. I wish that young man the
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: very best is he gets saluted by fans from both
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: sides with that kick return and the yardage he already
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: has today. Scott Britten Covey now with four and fifty
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: four all purpose yards here at Utah, which is good
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: for third all time.
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: Well, I just love that Utah is giving him the
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: green light, you know, and just you called it, of
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: course it did.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: I liked to see Covey take something back.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean I was going to get to
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: that point, but it just felt like something magical was
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: going to happen with Britain Covey today. That's all I
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: can tell you. And and and you know a lot
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: of these runs he gets where he just kind of
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: pops the seam and goes that one he had to
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: dodge and we even stop and then explode and and
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: and I mean, he just he just was a dead
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: sprint and he just out ran Ohio State to the
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: end zone.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: Jaydon Reddings pat is up and good that Pepsi touchdown
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: presented by the official soft drink of Utah Athletics. That's
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: Pepsi twenty eight to fourteen Utah with eight seventeen to play.
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: They answered the big.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Play by Ohio State with a big play of their own,
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: and they've doubled up the buck. Guys, here again, our
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: first half being brought to you by kslsports dot Com,
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: where they've got you covered game day action, insider information
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: and more. You know, I've been saying this to you
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: at the break, Scott, we really haven't seen Utah's defense
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: make a big play yet. Today Clark Phillips broke up
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: a long pass, but outside of that, we really haven't
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: seen it. And it might be time that we see
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: a Devin Lloyd or Amika Tafou or somebody come up
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: with something to disrupt because CJ.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Stroud start to look comfortable, isn't it.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: Yeah, And Utah has got to do something, and it's
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: a challenge because how State's offensive line is pretty darn good.
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: This is is one of the high scoring offense is
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: in a country. This is Ohio State. They're they're really good,
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: and so you're, you know, the the answer is to
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: get pressure. But if you get pressure, you go Manda Man,
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: You go Manda Man, and you end up having you
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: know what you had there where you get one on
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: one coverage with the guy who's never played corner in
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: major college football, and that it's just a little tough
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: situation in Utah's defense.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Pop up kick that time by Utah.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: They tried to avoiding Buca, but Xavier Johnson took getting
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: ran it out to about the thirty four yard line,
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: so not that much different than what they got the
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: last time.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: He does.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: Gonna have to figure that kickoff thing out here. They're
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: not at altitude anymore. You're down at sea level here.
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: Even though there's mountains behind us here. You know, those
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: kicks don't travel as far. For Jordan Noise Man, it's
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: winter and it's and it's late, and you get that
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: damp era. It doesn't go ball and go anyone. Mayan
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: Williams stays at the ball game here for Ohio State
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: first and ten Buckeyes at their own thirty three, trailing
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: twenty eight to fourteen, eight twelve to play first half,
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Stroud goes to the line, points out the middle linebacker.
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: He has three wide receivers and Mayan Williams. And now
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: what do we have?
- 1:07:01Speaker 8: The previous play is under video review for potential targeting?
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: What the kick return?
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: I think everybody's had way too much time off of football.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: I mean that, I mean that that's a review after
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: like two and a half minutes. I mean, I'm not
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: saying there wasn't. I didn't see it in real live time.
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: It's hard to see those two.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: But clearly the guys upstairs buzzed this, so they must
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: have seen some Oh that's gonna be who eight. I
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: hope it's not Cole Bishop six will helmet into the backside. Yeah,
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: that's that looks like targeting. Eighty Now that's Connor Rotol
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: eighty one, and it looks like targeting. He kind of
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: ducked his head and stuck his helmet right into the
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: back of Xavier Henderson. So in the in the fairness
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: of apparently evening things out on targeting, they're going to
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: look at this play.
- 1:07:57Speaker 8: After video review.
- 1:07:59Speaker 6: Personal foul targeting the kicking team number eighty one for
- 1:08:03Speaker 6: using the crown of the helmet.
- 1:08:05Speaker 8: The fifteen yard penalty is aving. They end the run
- 1:08:07Speaker 8: three first down Ohio State.
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: So do you get ejected? Is that an injective?
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: Yeah, he's out, he's out. He's out.
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: Well, it's like a game of chess. You know you're
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: gonna give up maybe a rook or something for a
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: queen because yeah, let's face it, we got a lot
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: of tight ends.
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: Yeah, tight ends and all that stuff. The one thing
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: we don't have as many defensive backs and safety. So
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: keep your head to the defensive please move it out
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: to the Ohio State forty eight. That's a gift from
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: the utes.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: CJ.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: Stroud right near midfield, three wide and Mayan Williams on
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: first and ten. Stroud's gonna pass pressure up the middle.
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: Down the Middle's got a man caught. Uh oh, here
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: he goes twenty fifteen, ten to five touchdowns.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Smith then Jigba again, fifty two yards this time.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: No, but he touched him and guess who he beat?
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: The kay Bernard's being picked on and picked on big time.
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: Yeah. Actually, he's right in the middle here, he's on
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: montele and I mean this is a zone defense.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that was his I take that back.
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: That was not it wasn't beat No, it wasn't. But
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: what it was these linebackers just they got to get
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: depth in that in those passing lanes. That was that was.
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: That was a zone coverage too easy for It's.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: Got I think we've had three touchdowns in about twenty
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: seconds here though, twenty eight to twenty pat coming here
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: for Noah ruggles on the year seventy one for seventy
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: one for the Ohio State kicker, hold down, kick up
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: and kick good. Thirty seconds, three touchdowns and with a
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: know two to play here the first half, it's a
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: seven point game again one Utah fort of Ohio State.
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: Well, what what you have is Ohio State goes. We
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: have a mismatch. I mean, they're gonna go to Smith
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: and Jigba the probably the rest of the game. They're
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: just gonna wear it out. Do you do well? You can't.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: You gotta give. You can't let him get the big play.
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: You got to keep everything in front of it. You
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: just do I mean, you don't. You don't have the guys.
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: Uh and so these linebackers are depth in their drops.
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: They've got to get deep. They gotta they really have
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: to keep everything. That was a zone that was his zone.
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: You just shouldn't get through a zone like that that easy.
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: And it wasn't. It wasn't too safeties high where the
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: middle of the field is open. There was a there
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: was a free safety in the middle of the field
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: that it just shouldn't have happened.
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: Covey back again at his own one yard line, keeping
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: out here on Utah high end over end kick. Covey's
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: gonna get to return it from about the three. This
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: time Britain Covey up the field, Britain Covey to the
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: outside twenty twenty five. Britain Covey ripped down and take
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: it down at about the twenty nine yard line. He
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: was wanting to bounce it one more time outside, couldn't
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: quite get there. But good starting field position for Cam
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: rising in the Utah offense with a seventy one yard
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: field in front of him. Seven fifty five to play
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: before halftime, and we've got ourselves a bit of a
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: shootout here. Twenty eight to twenty one Utah.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I'm surprised there's not a track around this
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: field because this is the track meet right now, and
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: not a lot of defense on both sides.
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: Two tight ends left Tavian Thomas in the ball game
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: d O Howard Britain Covey to the right hand side,
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: Ohio State showing a little pressure off the edge. Cam
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: turns and gives it tavy On Thomas, tavan bouncing running
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: thirty five and up ended at about the thirty seven
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: yard line for a game of eight. On first down,
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: he was just kind of high up it in bopping
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: right there and picked up eight yards.
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know right now, it's they've seen a
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: lot of these plays where where Ohio State is making
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: that initial contact and then and Utah is kind of
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: playing through it, and whether it's a tight ends or
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: Tavion and and a lot of that's you've been off
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: for a long time. He's just not used to that live.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Tackling two tights and two wides on second and two,
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: Thomas stays of the ball game cam and the shotgun
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: cam looking to throw throws over the middle incomplete trying
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: to squeeze that ball into the von Velang pretty good
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: coverage on the outside that time by Ohio State. It
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: looked like it was Denzel Burke who had the coverage
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: to be third down in two.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: This is a big third down, now, Scott.
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: Ohio State's offense has woken up a bit here and
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: Utah wants to give its defense a little bit of
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: a rest.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: So it's a big third down here. Third down in two.
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: Yeah, Utah's got to give their defense a lot of
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: arrest right now. But yeah, to answer that third and
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: short is critical.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: You've got to convert these two out of three on
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: third down. Camp changing the play Thomas two wide and
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: two tight. Now he'll change it again. Cam turns and
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: gives it to Tavyon through the whole second level, pushes
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: the pile and doesn't get it.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: He's gonna be a.
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: Yard short to the thirty eighty. He needed the thirty
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: nine yard line. Now, decision time for Kyle Winningham. He's
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: gonna keep the offense out there.
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean, you gotta feel like you
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: gotta get a first down here with a yard and
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: you've got the people to certainly do it. And Utah
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: knows they got to score points offensively. You just can't
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: can't get the ball back to Ohio State.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: Here we go fourth down and one for Utah. Gotta
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: get to their own thirty nine pledge. You're in two
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: tights and two wides. Here for camp Rising. Here comes
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: Keithy inside. Rising's gonna keep it himself. Forty first down
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: yard it stays on his feet, still on his feet,
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: fifty forty five.
- 1:13:52Speaker 7: There he goes thirty twenty ten five thick boy seven
- 1:13:57Speaker 7: into the end, Doug Verse six touchdown, touchdown, Cam Rising
- 1:14:09Speaker 7: sixty two yards on fourth and one and a Utah touchdown.
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: You know, it's one of those situations. I mean, it's
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: a great play by Cam to stay on his feet there.
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: But when it's a situation I was saying it early
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: in the game. You know how Ohio State is selling
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: out to the run. I mean they're putting nine ten guys.
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: They had eleven guys at the line of scrimmage right there,
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: and if you pop a scene, there's no there's nobody there.
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: It's high you know, high risk, high reward, and they
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: they got risked there for sure if they're I mean,
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: that's a great play by Cam to keep his balance
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: and then just just score on that play. And this
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: is a crazy game right now.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: If you like big plays, this is your kind of game.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: Thirty five twenty one Utah. We have had four touchdowns
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: in the last.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: Two and a half minutes. Really two minutes unbelievable.
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: Yeah, you got you gotta if you're a fan watching
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: New Year's Day football right now, Oh my goodness, you
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: have got to be elated. If you're Kyle Whittingham, like,
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: where's the pepto bismoal because he's his stomach is turned out.
- 1:15:15Speaker 6: State number thirty four is changing to Jersey number five again,
- 1:15:18Speaker 6: Ohio State thirty four is now Jersey number five.
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: Wow. No such thing as defense in this game, for sure.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: It's like when you played. It's like an old WAT shootout,
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: isn't it.
- 1:15:30Speaker 3: It really is the team that punts loses. If you
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: punt once, you lose. That's it.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: So here we go. Let me take a drink of
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: water here from the Big o'tires broadcast booth. That pepsi
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: touchdown puts Utah up by fourteen.
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: Again.
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: We still have six and a half minutes to play.
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: Your the first half, four plays seventy one yards rising
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: has been unbelievable. Here's the kick it's short it Booker
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: will take it from the twelve high hanging kick, Oh
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: a Mecca book Gun now taken down, good open field
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: tackle by Brandon mckenne and about the twenty six yard line.
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: If he breaks that tackle for McKenny, he's out the gate.
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: Well, it just feels like out the gate is like
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: a normal phrase today. I mean it just it's just
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: like every every play, what's gonna happen right now? But
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: a great, great open field tackle by Brandon McKenny there
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: on that. That was that was one of the issues
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: early on in the season. And and and he made
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: he made a nice play on that.
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: So here come CJ. Stroud Byan Williams, and keep an
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: eye on.
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jegba first in ten buck eyes from
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: their own twenty six trailing thirty five twenty one. Stroud
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: hands it Williams right edge, being Chase being Chase breaks
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: a tackle, it's beyond the thirty and out of bounds
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: and about the thirty two yard line for a game
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: of six. Kuy Bernard forced him out of bounds running
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: back on run back crime.
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: Right there, and you tah had that strung out just
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: that ne Fi Sula just kind of took a little
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: bit of a bad angle there right at the very end.
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: Should have made that play for.
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: A no game Sega down in about four to play
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: for Ohio Steep Stroud to pass fires outside ball batted
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: in the air and knocked down by Stroud. It was
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: Awatiputu Tao who put his hands up and knocked it
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: down that.
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: I'll bring up third down. Good job by Howard on
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: that play.
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Utah is one of the best teams
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: in the country where they just they read that quarterback
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: in those quick throws and down gate. They tip a
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: lot of passes here.
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: Buck eyes are two out of four on third down.
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: As it gets loud here in Pasadena, u CAAU showing
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: pressure this time and Stroud checks with a line of
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: scrimmage of the sideline play clog at twelve. He's got
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: the play he wants four wide look here for the
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: buck arms. Stroud backs into the shotgun five of the
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: play club.
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: Here comes Utah to heat him up.
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: Pressure over the middle, dumped and caught spit then jigbuck again.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: He's ripped down at about the forty five yard line.
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: My low and mata Ale made the tackle and they're
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: just looking for him every time.
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I could have told you that before that.
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: It's just like where is he in the game? And
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: may mata Alea just gets beat to the inside pretty easy.
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: Stroud throws first down outside, caught and a game up
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: about five after the forty nine yard line for Marvin Harrison.
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: Yeah. Nice play by Bernard there to come up and
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: make that tackle. I mean, that is just a hard
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: thing people, when you just haven't played this position ever.
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: You're out in the Rose Bowl playing corner against some
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: of the best receivers in the country.
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: Three wide on second down in five, you talk coming
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: up to the line of scrimming, showing pressure. Stroud bouncing around,
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: looking everywhere right now, play clock again at nineteen, checks
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: with the sideline, gets his play in from the sideline.
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: Can the Utah defense make a play here?
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: Gets CJ.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: Stroud. Second down at five ocean Man Smith and Jigbu.

- 1:19:08Speaker 2: You cos got it? That's a Utah turnover. Unbelievable. Cold
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: Bishop comes up with it Smith than Jack buff fuffled
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: the football and Utah's got it back, but day Davis
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: knocked it out. Cold Bishop fell on it. Want to
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: play for Utah.
- 1:19:25Speaker 6: It is a completed catch with a fundo by the
- 1:19:28Speaker 6: offense into the end zone, recovered by the defense for
- 1:19:31Speaker 6: his over play as a touchback first down Utah.
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: It was Clark Phillips who punched that football out and
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: then Bishop fell on it. Oh did Utah need that
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: play in the worst way. It's gonna be another Ohio
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: State touchdown.
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: Gonna give us all a heart attack here, folks. But
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: just you know Clark Phillips saying he talked about playing
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: making plays in moments and and he wasn't even really
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: the guy on that that that was that was a zone.
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: He's an outside corner and it's an inside slot. Just
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: enough the scene there. But but he just plays it
- 1:20:02Speaker 3: out to the very end. And that's what you do.
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: You know, you just you finish this thing out. But
- 1:20:07Speaker 3: also cold Bishop getting on that ball in the end zone.
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: That's not easy to do either. Utah needed that in
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: the worst way.
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: Five White look on first down for Utah, camp by
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: himself with the shotgun back pedals, looks, looks, looks, throws
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: over the middle, cot tight end has it out beyond
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: the twenty five to the twenty seven yard line. That
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: Stalton kincaid with his first grap of the afternoon in
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: the game of seven on first down, a nice, long,
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: sustained drive would not.
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: Be a bad thing. Here's no, it really wouldn't. And
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: I mean, and I'm sure Utah is sitting here going,
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: we've got to try to figure out how to shorten
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: this game down a little bit. You got four minutes
- 1:20:43Speaker 3: before the half, and of course Ohio State's gonna get
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: it coming out, so you want to be able to
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: get some points here and get this clock wound down.
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: Second in three, rising under center, pledger behind, you've turned
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: out a give to TJTJ bouncing, pushing, shoving that pile forward,
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: picks up two to the twenty nine, bring up third
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: down and one as we dip under four to play
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: in the clock running here the first half at the
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: Rose Bowl thirty five twenty one Utah.
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is again one of those third and shorts.
- 1:21:10Speaker 3: And you know third down is so critical, but third
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: and short is like an absolute must. You have to
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: convert almost one hundred percent of these in a game
- 1:21:18Speaker 3: because you just have to and look. Look, look for
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: Cam Rising to be involved in this play right here.
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: See if it's a quarterback, sneak Tavan and Cam under center.
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: Chumbo said here for Utah turn it, give it to
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: Tavan Thomas and he picks up two in a Utah
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: first down. Not much there, it's kind of all Tav
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: on that time. But move the chains on the first
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: mile first down.
- 1:21:40Speaker 3: Yeah, And there's been a couple of maybe one or
- 1:21:43Speaker 3: two plays where Ohio State stopped Utah running football, but
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: most of the time, initial contact is not bringing down
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: Utah runners, so you would expect, you know, like right
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: there he was. He was tackled short of the first
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: down and was able to move the pile to get
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: get extra yardage.
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: M Kai Cope far to the left hand side. We
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: haven't called his name much this year. Three tight ends
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: to the right hand side and McKay Bernard in the backfield.
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: First down, Cam Rising keeps it and he is dumped
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: dump for a three yard loss back to the twenty
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: eight yard line. Goes Rising and the clock continues to
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: run two forty two thirty nine, two thirty eight to
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: play before halftime. JT. Tuomalo made the tackle.
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and Cam Kim knew that they were bringing pressure
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: and it was going to be that fake fake dive
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: to the left and the quarterback sweep around to the right,
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: and he just he just took off too early. And
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: I'm not sure he couldn't do anything else because Ohio
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: State just sold out second down in thirteen. I have
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: been in many of these today.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: Davion Thomas in the shotgun with Cam rising four wides
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: flex two left and two right here for Utah. Ohio
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: State rushing five rising, looking scrambling, throwing down the field,
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: caught beyond the fifty and out of bounds of the
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: Ohio State forty seven brand Keithy And Keithy's down now
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: he's up up and lifting back to the field. That's
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: a pitch and catch on the play of twenty four yards.
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: Yeah, and then nice, I mean Ohio State's in a
- 1:23:08Speaker 3: two deep zone and you run that corner route.
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: Uh, Keithy's down on the play right now for Utah.
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: He was down the way he was tackled.
- 1:23:17Speaker 3: H of got his knee twisted a little bit, Yeah,
- 1:23:20Speaker 3: he did.
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: He tried to pop up and run back out that
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: he went back down again. Utah has already lost one
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: de facto tight end today that was Connor O'Toole. They've
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: still got ye antnal fothering him and Dalton Kincade.
- 1:23:35Speaker 3: To use that three tight end set has been so
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: effective all year and is very effective today right now.
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: Another thing cam Rising he is doing is he's just
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: being so patient in that pocket. He's not getting flushed
- 1:23:49Speaker 3: even on that play right there, I mean getting pressure
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: right around the edge, and he just he just waited
- 1:23:54Speaker 3: for that receiver down the field to get open and able.
- 1:23:57Speaker 8: To do it.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: Keithy walking under his own string.
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: They'll go in the black medical ten here and Utah
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: will deal without him here for a few minutes two
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: oh three to play. They'll wind the clock here momentarily
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: Utah thirty five, Ohio State twenty one, give you stats
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: and numbers coming up at halftime, and we'll see if
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: Utah can get something done before the end of the
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: half here.
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: Yeah, really important that Utah kind of winds this clock
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: down but also scores.
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: Ohio State will get the ball to begin the second half.
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: Pledgure of the backfield three wide to the right Now
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: they empty the backfield with a five wide look for Cam.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: Ohio State blitzing again five coming, Cam pumping looking running
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: forty five and downright there, picks up four yards.
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: Not bad.
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: Clock continues to run. Now with ninety five seconds to
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: play before halftime. Now Utah will hurry up just a bit,
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: no huddle this time. They'll bring it to the line
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: of scrimmage pledgure and rising. Cam turns gives TJ. Pledger
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: nothing there for Pledsure. Third down and six coming up
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: here for Utah, and they might take a time out.
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: As the clock continues to run, we'll see I'm taking
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: a time out. I've got all three remaining.
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: Almost feels like that was just a design just draw,
- 1:25:12Speaker 3: you know, dive, because because Cam had he kept that
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: and gun around the end would have been a big,
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: big play right there.
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: Oh like third and seven. Now there are three out
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: of five on third down. Got to get to the
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: Ohio State thirty nine rising in Pledger in the gun
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: Cuvey in motion. Cam takes the belt high snap in
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: back pedals. Here comes the pressure looking surveying throwing cotton drop. Oh,
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: he had kincaid Dalton that I'm out the thirty one
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: yard line. The pass was low, Dalton couldn't hang on
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: And I think Kyle Whittingham will probably bring out the
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: punt team here, but we'll see forty one seconds to play,
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: and yeah, I think the punt team's gonna come out
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: here for Utah with forty one seconds to play, try
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: and pin Ohio State deep.
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: They've only got one time out remaining.
- 1:25:58Speaker 3: Yeah, and that that was probably the only bad throw
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: that Camp's had all all half here. He kind of
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: do that just a little bit low. He didn't have to.
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: I mean, Ken Kate had a few steps. He hits
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: him in stride. Who knows he might have scored.
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: Peasley back to punt, gets the kick away, it's high,
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: it's end over end. They got a fair catch it
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: at the ten yard line with thirty five seconds to play.
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: Smith and Chigbub makes that grab a ninety yard field
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: for the buck guys. But as we've seen, it doesn't
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: take long for them to score. And I would be
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: very surprised if they just saddle the ball down fourteen
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: years got Oh.
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: They're not gonna sit on the ball. Smith and Jigmann
- 1:26:36Speaker 3: where is he? They're gonna throw the ball? I mean really,
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: I mean that's that's kind of about as simple as
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: they And why do it different? I mean, Utah hasn't
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: stopped it. Utah's got to keep every everything in front
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: I mean, Ohio State doesn't have any timeouts. It really is.
- 1:26:50Speaker 3: Time is your enemy here, So keep keep it in
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: in front of you. Don't let him get a big
- 1:26:55Speaker 3: play here.
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: Stroud brings out the offense. He's got Trevon Henderson with
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: the Utah will rush for and drop everybody else in
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: coverage here. See if a four man rush can get
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: home first down snap, Stroud back pedals, throws the screen
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: in the flat to Henderson and he breaks out of
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: one tackle and now another, get up the sideline and
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: knocked out of bounds. Finally, and about the twenty one
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: yard line, he picks up eleven yards and takes eight
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: seconds off the clock.
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: Monty Davis made the tackle.
- 1:27:22Speaker 3: Yeah, these are plays again. You see this with teams
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: where they haven't been playing a lot for a month.
- 1:27:29Speaker 6: After the runner was out of bounds, personal foul late
- 1:27:32Speaker 6: hit defense number nine fifteen yard penalty.
- 1:27:35Speaker 8: Is added to the end of the run, includes an
- 1:27:38Speaker 8: automatic first down.
- 1:27:39Speaker 3: And see that just shouldn't never happened because the play
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: should have been dead without a gain. And you know
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: there's just been a couple of tackles here by some
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: of these linebackers where just not finishing finishing out the
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: play when they've got a go. I mean that should
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: have been a no game play right there.
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: Here we go first and ten Buckeyes from their own
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: thirty six twenty seven seconds to play. Here in the
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: half empty backfield, five wide.
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: Look for CJ. Stroud. Here he comes.
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: He'll drop the pass looking, looking, serving, throwing and caught
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: in about the forty five yard line, about a yard
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: shy of first down yard.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: It's by a rutger.
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: Clock continues to run and Ohio State takes I think
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: it's final time out.
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: With seventeen seconds.
- 1:28:22Speaker 8: Tonight, Ohio State.
- 1:28:24Speaker 6: If you're one the third and final time out of
- 1:28:26Speaker 6: the half, you're Oneason set the game clock to nineteen seconds,
- 1:28:30Speaker 6: one to nine.
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: If you're wondering why I keep talk over the referee, No,
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: Noah ruggles the placekicker. His long field goal on the
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: season forty six yards. He's only missed once that was
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: from thirty thirty eight yards away. So we'll we'll see
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: they're gonna have to get about another twenty five or
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: so yards to get in his field goal range to
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: feel good about it. But again, you doss playing a
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: little soft right now and give it up trying not
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: to give up the big play.
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean you really, you really have
- 1:28:59Speaker 3: to you just do. You have to keep everything in
- 1:29:01Speaker 3: front of you and Smith and Jigma. I mean, he's
- 1:29:03Speaker 3: a guy. You just can't let him find a scene
- 1:29:06Speaker 3: there deep in the secondary. And Utah did a much
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: better job of that on that on that last play.
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: I haven't done a great job of it, you know,
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: for most of the first half here.
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: But you know whose name we haven't called maybe once today,
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: Devin Lloyds.
- 1:29:21Speaker 3: I was thinking of that just a minute ago.
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: So first and ten maaked, second and one, Buckeyes from
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: their own forty five nineteen seconds to play here in
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: the half, no time out. Stroud to pass four man
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: rush CJ. Stroud looks, fires over the middle. It's got
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: to complete in the Utah territory and out of the
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: Utah forty yard line. They go thirteen seconds. He's gonna
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: get up to the line of scrimmage. Spikens and one
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: they did two seconds go off the clock, so eleven
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: seconds to play. They need another five to ten yards
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: to get in field goal range here for NOA ruggles.
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: Well and if they don't get the first down.
- 1:29:56Speaker 8: Please reset the game bough to twelve seconds one two.
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: I mean, if they throw the ball in the middle
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: of the field like that again and then don't get
- 1:30:03Speaker 3: the first down, the half so it's over. So it's
- 1:30:06Speaker 3: a nice, you know, nice play here.
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: I bet they take a shot here, Scott Well or try.
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: To throw it down an out route here, out of bounds.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: Empty backfield, five wide, Strouds scrambling being chased to the outside,
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: throws down the field, caught in the field of play,
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: and that's short of first down yardage, and that's going
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: to take us to halftime. Clocks hit zero and Utah's
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: defense stops Ohio State on the final drive of the half.
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: Halftime here at Rose Bowl, thirty five twenty one Utah.
- 1:30:37Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a great job by Utah secondary right there.
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: And you know Stroud he kind of I don't know,
- 1:30:43Speaker 3: phantomly thought he had to escape their pocket because he
- 1:30:45Speaker 3: really didn't. But a great job by Utah.
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: Holly Rowe will have a word with Kyle Whittingham first
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: and then slide. We'll get a couple of comments from
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: him next. Utah thirty five and Ohio's twenty one here
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: at the half. Not quite the game I expected, but
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: we'll see how it goes in the second half. Slile
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: gets set up after Holly gets a word here with
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham. Great setting, great day here at the Arroyo
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: Sego in Pasadena. Fifty six points on the board in
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: the first half. Lots of offense, not a lot of
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: defense for either side, big special teams as well, and
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: Utah's up two touchdowns. Ohio State will get the ball
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: to begin things in the second half. Holly's done with
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: coach now sly will get him go ahead slot.
- 1:31:48Speaker 3: Not hearing him.
- 1:32:02Speaker 10: Coverage and hitting those seams, and we gotta get solved
- 1:32:06Speaker 10: at halftime here.
- 1:32:07Speaker 5: Yeah, So it seems like like the winner of this
- 1:32:11Speaker 5: game is gonna whoever gets a stop on defense.
- 1:32:14Speaker 4: So how is that gonna happen? And what do we
- 1:32:16Speaker 4: need to do to stop?
- 1:32:17Speaker 10: In Jigmah, We're defending the run pretty darn good. There's
- 1:32:19Speaker 10: nothing going on in the run game that's really hurting us.
- 1:32:21Speaker 10: But we got to make some plays in the ball
- 1:32:23Speaker 10: up the field. We dodged another bullet when Clark stripped
- 1:32:25Speaker 10: that ball from the receiver, and so we get the
- 1:32:28Speaker 10: past defense short up, then.
- 1:32:30Speaker 4: We're gonna be in good shape. Awesome, thanks questioning.
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: Sly Kyle, Thank you very much. Halftime here, Scott the
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: shoot off thirty five in Ohio State twenty one, just
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: like we thought it would be.
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: Well, it's certainly been a roller coaster ride. I mean,
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: there's a lot of world class amusement here and you,
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: I mean, we've we've been for a thriller just to
- 1:32:50Speaker 3: have but but coach winning hads, right, I mean figuring
- 1:32:53Speaker 3: out how to not get these guys freed running down.
- 1:32:57Speaker 11: The field in that in that zone coverage. There are
- 1:33:00Speaker 11: just too many easy, easy throwers and easy completions. And really,
- 1:33:04Speaker 11: I mean Utah hasn't seen a team like Ohio State
- 1:33:08Speaker 11: and how to defend that. I mean, there's just not
- 1:33:10Speaker 11: a team on the Utah schedule that compares to what
- 1:33:14Speaker 11: they're seeing here. It really is going to come down
- 1:33:17Speaker 11: in the second half to who executes the most efficiently offensively,
- 1:33:21Speaker 11: and so those third down and shorts, Utah offensively has
- 1:33:25Speaker 11: got to convert them. Utah's got to keep scoring some
- 1:33:27Speaker 11: points in the second half because Ohio State's proved they
- 1:33:30Speaker 11: can score quickly.
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: Halftime numbers coming here from the Rose Bowl thirty five
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: to twenty one Utah, the granddaddy of them all halfway home.
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: The American First Credit Union halftime show is next right
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: here from lear Field, Ord Noise will tee it up,
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham did say going into the locker room, Scott,
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: they want a better kickoff coverage. See if they get it.
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: Here mechag Buku and a couple of good returns of
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: the first half ready to go thirty minutes to a
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: Rose Bowl victory for the utes. Can they close the deal?
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: We'll find out soon. Here's the kick by Noise, high
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: and end over ended returnable from the five Rick Buka
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: fifteen twenty twenty five, still on his feet and down
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: to about the twenty seven yard line, goes a mecca
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: at Buka and that's where CJ. Stroud and the Ohio
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: State offense will begin first and ten Scott. They were
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: a pretty formidable force. It was really only that fumble
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: by Smith and Jigba that kept him out of the
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: end zone. After about the midway point of the first half.
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: What's Utah's defense got to do to adjust? Well, you know,
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: you want to get Devin Lloyd involved, but to do that,
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: you may have to bring pressure. And if you bring pressure,
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: expose these corners to one on one coverage. And so
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: I really think it's more of a conservative approach and
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: just try to keep everything in front of you. Smith
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: and Jigbuck in the left slot, three wides, a tight end,
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: and a running back on first and tent for Ohio State.
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: Stroud's gonna pass, blitz up the middle, hit as he throws,
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: throws in complete. They brought the blitz that time, and
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: Vonte make it. Devin Lloyd finally call his name, nearly
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: got to Stroud incomplete second down.
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: Well there's your answer right there. Utah says, conservative my eye,
- 1:35:05Speaker 3: we're gonna We're gonna bring Devin Lloyd. I mean you
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: have to. You have to find ways to get him
- 1:35:10Speaker 3: involved in this game. And clearly Utah said, we're gonna bring.
- 1:35:14Speaker 3: We're gonna bring a book blitz with Devin Lloyd, and
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: it worked.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: Second down and ten Buckeyes just underway. Second half, thirty
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: five twenty one Utah. Stroud operates out of the pistol,
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: Henderson behind him, turn in a give Trevion Henderson to
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: the outside, bounces off one tackle and another and very
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: close to first down yardage out to the thirty five.
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: It'll be third down and two coming up. They had
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: him at the thirty Scott and then let him get away.
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: And now we've got an injured player down. That might
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: be Henderson running back got knocked out of bounds. We'll
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: see they're tending to him right here on the Ohio
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: State sideline. I think it was Treveon Henderson the player down,
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: but I don't want to tell you for sure. He's
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: being surrounded by trainers and teammates right now. It'll be
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: thirty down in two for the Buckeyes. It is Henderson.
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: He's up now. He took a pretty good shot on
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: that sideline. You'll have to come out for a play
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: in Ohio State with a big third down in short
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: here early in the second half.
- 1:36:12Speaker 3: And I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get it.
- 1:36:14Speaker 3: They don't go for it in this situation. But this
- 1:36:17Speaker 3: was in this again. This is a theme that happened
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: in the first half. Nephi Sewel has a running back
- 1:36:22Speaker 3: just dead to rights for a loss and just doesn't
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: make the tackle. It's like you make the hit, but
- 1:36:26Speaker 3: you don't bring him down, and has got to wrap
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: him up and stop him when he hits him.
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: Ohio State showing the propensity to take shots on short yardage.
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: We'll see if they do it here. They're two of
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: five on third down. Buying Williams at the ball game.
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: They'll flex him out smit them jig but in the
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: backfield third down in two Stroud to pass back pedals
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: pressure coming dumping over the middle of cot Smith them
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: jigb forty thirty five to the Utah thirty and down
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: to the Utah twenty yard line. Utah has no antswer
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: for Jackson Smith and Jigbuck he picks up. We'll call
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: it thirty five to forty five yards on the play
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: in the first down.
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean Devin Lloyd's dropping back in
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: coverage there and he's just lost. He's lost in space.
- 1:37:15Speaker 3: You gotta figure out where this guy, I mean, Mackay
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: Bernard's the guy making the tackle. Here.
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: We go from the Utah twenty first and tamp of
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: the Buckeyes. They checked with the sideline and now change
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: the play play clock at fifteen under fourteen to play
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: in the third. Now Stroud's got the one he wants.
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: Mayan Williams to his right out of the shotgun. Three
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: Wide sets Stroud to pass, looking, surveying, throwing toward the
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: end zone, up and intercepted, intercepted. Clark Phillips fix it off.
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: They were trying to force it to Julian Fleming and
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: Phillips with another big play. It's a turnover for the
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: Utah defense.
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: I mean, that's awesome for YouTube there.
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: Why did he throw that?
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I mean he's got to be the dumbest
- 1:38:01Speaker 3: thing in the world right there. Don't throw it to
- 1:38:02Speaker 3: the best the only corner you have and whatever, and.
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: Coverage was perfectly Clark phill Yeah.
- 1:38:09Speaker 3: I mean, I mean c J. Stroud just put in
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: his head he's gonna throw his ball right here. Clark
- 1:38:13Speaker 3: Phillips does a great job. You push the you push
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: the wide receiver to the boundary. I mean, how exciting
- 1:38:20Speaker 3: is that for Clark Phillips, you know, and and and
- 1:38:21Speaker 3: his whole story. But but just textbook defense right there
- 1:38:25Speaker 3: and making the play when you have it. You know,
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: he makes the interception in that moment.
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: So here come Cam rise to get the Utah offense
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: first and ten at their own twenty tab on Thomas
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: and three wides here for cam first down and ten.
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: Turn it a give tab On Thomas bouncing to the outside,
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: wrapped up and taken down for a five yard loss.
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: Tommy iken Burg the linebacker got him. Tab's got to
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: be aware of where that get where that pressure is
- 1:38:49Speaker 2: coming from.
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: Yeah, and I can Burke just does a nice job
- 1:38:51Speaker 3: of reading this play early and they just don't get
- 1:38:54Speaker 3: to him and he just he just doesn't get blocked
- 1:38:56Speaker 3: there by ken Kaiden and uh and that's that's a
- 1:39:00Speaker 3: big play there.
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: Five yard loss on first down brings up second down
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: in fifteen. Utah, playing behind the sticks right now, spreads
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: the field with a four wid look cam out of
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: the shotgun Ohio State bringing pressure. Here they come rising,
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: looking surveying, throwing here to near sideline. He's got Vele
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: out to the twenty five, goes to Vaughan, picks up ten,
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: makes it third down and five coming up.
- 1:39:23Speaker 3: Yeahct nice pass protection there too by Utah. I mean,
- 1:39:27Speaker 3: this is this is a good answer there on second down.
- 1:39:31Speaker 3: Utah is a heavy, heavy run team. On second down
- 1:39:34Speaker 3: and to get to kind of make where it's third
- 1:39:37Speaker 3: and manageable. Is a good play there. But it's all
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: because of that protection from that offensive line.
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: Kin Kate out there bothering him out there.
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: Two wide receivers and tavi On Thomas make a TJ
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: Pledger third down in five Utah.
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: They're three for.
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: Six today, rising out of the shotgun, Ohio State blitzing again,
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: rising looking serving, throwing outside and broke it up incomplete.
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: Mondy Parks was the intended receiver. Good coverage by Ohio
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: State and that's gonna be a three and out for Utah.
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: The punt team will come out. He just didn't have
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: enough juice on this ball.
- 1:40:11Speaker 3: Scott now he uh, you know, just ad nice play.
- 1:40:14Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know that he could throw it better,
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: but his great coverage right there. And you got to
- 1:40:19Speaker 3: win in those in those man situations. I mean, the
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: Ohio State's gonna dare you to beat him, and you
- 1:40:24Speaker 3: got you gotta beat him.
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: First three and out today for Utah. Smith then jigbub
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: waits on the punt. Mike Williams will punt it from
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: his own eleven yard line, fourth down and five for Utah.
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: Williams bobbles the staff and then he's tackled a special
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: team's blunder by Utah and Ohio State's got it at
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: the Utah eleven yard line.
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me. He took his eye off
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: the ball.
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: The staff was fine, and Ohio State's got it first
- 1:40:53Speaker 2: and ten at the Utah eleven yard line. I mean,
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: you just you got to catch the ball before you
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: can kick it. He just took his eye off it.
- 1:41:08Speaker 3: Yeah, and you think he's probably trying, he's worried about
- 1:41:10Speaker 3: getting the pun off and all those things, and you know,
- 1:41:13Speaker 3: you get you have a great interception and you really
- 1:41:16Speaker 3: kind of squander it away. I mean, because we're really
- 1:41:18Speaker 3: kind of back to where we were. Like it, there
- 1:41:20Speaker 3: was never that turnover and you gotta well, yeah, you
- 1:41:22Speaker 3: gotta make those right back to Yeah, you gotta make
- 1:41:24Speaker 3: those turnovers hurt and Utah didn't.
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: See if Ohio State can punish Utah. Now three winds.
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: Mayan Williams first in ten with the Utah eleven Flemming
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: in motion, turning to give it to Mayan Williams bouncing
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: to the outside. Mayan Williams cut down and then a
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: hole gonna be called on Ohio State on that right side,
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: maybe Dwan Jones.
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: We'll see when the flag came out. Utah is gonna
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: definitely back him up here.
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: Yeah, and Wilson's bounced every single one of those runs
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: to the outside, and it's hurting.
- 1:41:55Speaker 6: Offense number seventy nine, ten yard penalty from the previous
- 1:42:00Speaker 6: All right, repeat first down.
- 1:42:02Speaker 3: I'm not sure I'd take this penalty because the more
- 1:42:04Speaker 3: room gifts gives Ohio State a chance to hit those
- 1:42:06Speaker 3: seams and taking shots down in the red zone there.
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: The tighter it is, the harder it is.
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: But so first and ten becomes first and twenty back
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: in the twenty one yard line.
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: I just you know again that he keeps bouncing it.
- 1:42:21Speaker 3: When you bounce it, that's when you get the whole book.
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: Smith and Jacob on the left side for wide look
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: first and twenty.
- 1:42:32Speaker 2: CJ. Stroud under center, hand off Williams, Williams fifteen, Williams ten,
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: Williams out of bounds at the Utah eight yard line.
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: They'll mark him out at the eight yard line. That's
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: again at thirteen and now it's second down and manageable
- 1:42:50Speaker 2: for Ohio State. So basically it was like the penalty
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: didn't happen.
- 1:42:54Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a great run there, and Vonte Davis
- 1:42:57Speaker 3: got to make a nice open field tackle and he
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: wasn't able.
- 1:42:59Speaker 2: To Anderson in the ball game this time. Second and
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: seven from the Utah eighth for Ohio State. Stroud to
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: pass looking, surveying, throwing end zone tap touchdown Marvin Harrison
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: Junior for the second time today. And we're gonna have
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: ourselves in one score game here early in the third quarter.
- 1:43:26Speaker 3: Yeah, and Utah goes they get play action, these linebackers
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: suck up and they're they're in man man coverage like that,
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: and I mean, there's just there's no way McKay bernard
- 1:43:37Speaker 3: is gonna cover. That's just let's just put him in
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: a position where he's just he's just not gonna have success.
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: We're getting to a point, Scott in a game and
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: the pat coming up where Utah might have to answer
- 1:43:48Speaker 2: every score here for Ohio State. It's get to be
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: that kind of game. Almost he's up and good.
- 1:43:53Speaker 3: You almost feel that way, and you really feel like
- 1:43:55Speaker 3: it's it's gotta be Maybe it's maybe it's four down
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: territory all.
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: I mean, who knows two plays, eleven yards fifty two seconds,
- 1:44:03Speaker 2: Harrison with his second touchdown of the day and career,
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: and a one score game here at the Rose Bowl,
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: Utah thirty five, Ohio State twenty eight. This is Utah

- 1:44:29Speaker 2: softest blankets ever. Let's go downstairs to Sly Sly what
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: happened on that touchdown?
- 1:44:35Speaker 5: What happened on that touchdown is Mackay Bernard's three week technique.
- 1:44:38Speaker 5: Yeah you said it, BILLI when we were off the call.
- 1:44:41Speaker 5: But it's literally on the goal line you only have
- 1:44:45Speaker 5: you have absolutely no room for error, right, and he's
- 1:44:48Speaker 5: not using the sideline as an extra defender. And you know,
- 1:44:51Speaker 5: the middle of the fields the easiest throw for the quarterback.
- 1:44:53Speaker 5: He simply just let the receiver go inside and he's
- 1:44:57Speaker 5: just losing track of all these guys. And it's basically
- 1:44:59Speaker 5: be because he doesn't have the right technique for situational football.
- 1:45:03Speaker 4: And it's just hard right now because we're depleted in
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: the secondary. But it's turning out into a shootout.
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: Well it is, and CJ. Stroud is built for shootouts.
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: Seventeen of twenty three, three hundred and forty three yards, four.
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: Touchdowns and one pick right now for CJ. Stroud.
- 1:45:21Speaker 3: Yeah, you have a game like this the end of
- 1:45:23Speaker 3: the season, and it may be that kind of game
- 1:45:27Speaker 3: that catapults you into being the Heisman Trophy winner. I
- 1:45:30Speaker 3: mean next year. I mean become a front runner with
- 1:45:33Speaker 3: a game like that.
- 1:45:35Speaker 2: Ohio State to kick off, the sun is set to
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: the west, still a beautiful night for football. As they
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: put it back in play, a little chip shot kick
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: that's going to go short and out of Bouncey won't
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: get a chance to return it, but Utah is gonna
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: get it first to ten. I believe it their own
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: thirty five or is at forty yard line? Thirty five
- 1:45:54Speaker 2: yard line?
- 1:45:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe it's thirty five yard line. It is.
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: So they know how dangerous Brittin Covey is and they
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: didn't want to mess with him, so they'll give Utah
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: a good starting field position here, But last two drives,
- 1:46:07Speaker 2: Utah has had the football, they haven't done much with it.
- 1:46:09Speaker 6: They kick out of bounds, kicking team ball be spotted
- 1:46:12Speaker 6: in the thirty five yard line.
- 1:46:14Speaker 8: First down, Utah.
- 1:46:15Speaker 3: Now what's happened to? Utah has get gotten into third
- 1:46:17Speaker 3: down situations? Ohio State's got gun man demand and Cam
- 1:46:23Speaker 3: Rising hasn't connected on both of those third and third
- 1:46:26Speaker 3: and you know medium with man coverage, good dues.
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: Brand Keithy back in the ball game on first and
- 1:46:31Speaker 2: ten e motions across the formation. Pledger behind Rising. Now
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: the motion Covey across and turning. Give it the TJ Pledger.
- 1:46:39Speaker 2: Pledger through the hole pushes his way forward, pile across
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: the forty forty one and almost forty two yard line.
- 1:46:46Speaker 2: You've heard of the Bush push before. That was the
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: Pledger push. He picked up seven yards in. Utah's gonna
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: go with tempo. Second down and three Cam Rising and
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: the shotgun four wide. Look this time Rising to throw
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: motion and brand Keithy grand way.
- 1:47:01Speaker 6: Too soft start offense number eighty six five yard penalty
- 1:47:06Speaker 6: second down.
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: My apologies that was Dalton Kinkaid who left way too soon.
- 1:47:10Speaker 3: I think Dalton was going to get that play.
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: I think it was a fly pattern to the time end.
- 1:47:13Speaker 3: Something because he took off like he knew something right
- 1:47:16Speaker 3: there and just a little little excited and he hadn't really,
- 1:47:19Speaker 3: you know, made any impact in the game right now
- 1:47:22Speaker 3: and maybe thought that was his chance.
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: Second down and eight now they'll back it up to
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: the thirty seven yard line. Utah shifting personnel around right now.
- 1:47:31Speaker 2: Tight end's going out wide, receivers coming in right now
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: for Utah. They leaded thirty five twenty eight, but lots
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: of time to play, ten to fifty nine to play.
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: Here in the third quarter, TJ Pledger cam rising shotgun.
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: They motioned TJ out now five wide, look here for Utah.
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: Rising looking throwing caught over the middle by Cove. He
- 1:47:50Speaker 2: spins out of one, gets very close to first down
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: yardage up to the forty four yard line. It'll be
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: third down and about half a yard to go here
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: for Utah.
- 1:48:00Speaker 3: Yeah, that last play, tron Vincent actually went out of
- 1:48:03Speaker 3: the game for a minute. I don't know if he's
- 1:48:06Speaker 3: back in there or not, but he's one of those
- 1:48:08Speaker 3: inside runners. Maybe that might even soften up that Ohio
- 1:48:12Speaker 3: State defense. Just a little bit more.
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: Utah three out of seven off third down, they've gotta
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: get a yard to the forty Mackay Bernard d jumpbo
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: package three tight ends here for Utah. Ohio State crowds
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: the line rise, he turns, takes the snap, gives it
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: to Mackay Bernard, who's dancing and balancing.
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: He's got the outside.
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: Forty five fifty forty five forty Macky Bernard out of
- 1:48:32Speaker 2: bounds at the Ohio State thirty five yard line. Heck
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: of a run by Macki Bernard that time as he
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: picks up twenty yards in.
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: A first file first down.
- 1:48:42Speaker 3: Well, Mackay Bernard needs a I don't know, he needs
- 1:48:45Speaker 3: a special trophy or something after this game, in an
- 1:48:47Speaker 3: award because what a great effort. I mean, I'm not
- 1:48:52Speaker 3: on defense. I'm not trying to be hard on him
- 1:48:54Speaker 3: because I mean I just feel for him. He's just
- 1:48:56Speaker 3: got no shot there. But man, how tough is this
- 1:48:59Speaker 3: to come in and like he has catching the touchdown pass.
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: Stays in the ball game here on first and ten
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: for the Buckeye thirty fourst Camp changes the play two
- 1:49:07Speaker 2: tights and two wides here for Utah buck guys with
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: six at the line of scrimmage here on first down
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: in ten, turn in and given a play action roll
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: to the right hand side. They dump it into flat
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: tight ends got at twenty five twenty fifteen out of
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: bounds and the ten goes Dalton Kincaid. They're gonna mark
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: him out of bounds at the buck guye eleven yard line,
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: first down in ten Utah inside the University Credit Union
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: red zone.
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: Here they go with tempo.
- 1:49:31Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of a fun play because the inside
- 1:49:34Speaker 3: guy breaks on an out route, the outside guy goes
- 1:49:37Speaker 3: up the field and it just they're confused by it.
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: Hand off Bernard and not much there for McKay on
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: the tempo handoff, gets about a half a yard near
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: the ten. It'll be second down coming up here for Utah.
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: Second down, they can get a first down at about
- 1:49:51Speaker 2: the one yard line. Tavion Thomas checking in the ball
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: game here for Utah. I'm checking out McKay Bernard. He's
- 1:49:58Speaker 2: done a good job both sides of the ball today,
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: doing his very best on defense. Tavan behind Cam who's
- 1:50:06Speaker 2: under center, three tight ends to the left hand side,
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: tight end to the right hand side under center, Cam
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: Rising brings Covey in motion, turns and gives it to
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: Britain Covey. Covey's got the edge and tripped up of
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: the nine yard line. Good open field tackle that time
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: by the linebacker Tommy Eickenberg. He's a backup, he's starting
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: today because of injuries and opt outs for the buck guys.
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: I'll give him the eight yard line. So third down
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: and seven here for Utah and the Buck eye ate.
- 1:50:34Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a nice play there. I mean, he made
- 1:50:36Speaker 3: a nice play earlier. Just you know these players that
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: when they play downhill like this, they just react and go.
- 1:50:41Speaker 3: And he's had some nice plays because Covey's pretty fast
- 1:50:44Speaker 3: on that edge.
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: Malay out wide to the left, three tight ends and
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: Tavon Thomas shifting everybody around. Now Ohio State with eight
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: in the box, rising under center, has the play, turns,
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: gives it to Tavon Thomas to the outside, tripped up
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: in two, take it.
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: Down at about the six yard line. That one didn't
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: have much of a chance.
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: It'll be fourth down at about five at the six,
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: and I think they'll bring the kick team on to
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: get three out of this one.
- 1:51:10Speaker 3: You got to make it a two score game, yeah,
- 1:51:13Speaker 3: I mean, you got to make it a two score game,
- 1:51:16Speaker 3: but you also got to make it a slow down
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: in Ohio State. On defense, I don't know if you're
- 1:51:22Speaker 3: talking do it, but good answer back here. You'd certainly
- 1:51:26Speaker 3: like to score a touchdown here.
- 1:51:28Speaker 2: Jayden Redding out. Since returning his place kicker, he's been
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: very good. This will be from the right hash been
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: a twenty four yard attempt here for reading out of
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: the hold of Mike Williams. Good snap, good hold, kick
- 1:51:42Speaker 2: is down, it's up, and it is good. Seven to
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: ten to play here in the third quarter of Utah
- 1:51:49Speaker 2: thirty eight in Ohio State twenty eight.
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: This is Utah football from near field.
- 1:51:56Speaker 3: Need space well.
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: The Big Old Tires broadcast booth here at the Rose
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: Bowl on Bill Wiley are broadcast to Avian brought to
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: you by Geico. They make it easy to buddle your
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: home and car insurance. Having a home is hard. Works
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: to get a quote at geico dot com. That last
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: scoring drive for Utah eight plays fifty nine yards, four
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: to ten off the game clock and a twenty twenty
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: four yard deal goal by Jaydon Redding. You'd like to
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: pay it off with a touchdown, Scott, but three points
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: is good. You've got a double digit lead, thirty eight,
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: ten or midway through the third four. Yeah.
- 1:52:28Speaker 3: One of the things Utah has been really really good at, though,
- 1:52:31Speaker 3: is they've they've been good at scoring touchdowns in that
- 1:52:35Speaker 3: red zone and Tavian Thomas and running the ball and
- 1:52:38Speaker 3: kind of that power running deal. But yeah, it's you know,
- 1:52:43Speaker 3: getting points is good, but you know, I think I
- 1:52:45Speaker 3: think you've got to feel a little apprehensive just because
- 1:52:48Speaker 3: Ohio State's been able to move the ball so easy
- 1:52:51Speaker 3: and score touchdowns and you feel like you almost have
- 1:52:54Speaker 3: to score touchdowns to match him.
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: Right now, we'll see what the defense does when it
- 1:52:58Speaker 2: comes to the field here, it's brought to you I
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: do Tara, and we saw a good stop and a
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: pick by Clark Phillips. But what I'd really like to
- 1:53:05Speaker 2: see is Utah special teams not allow a kick to
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: come after the thirty five or forty and make Ohio
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: State earn some some of this yard he drive.
- 1:53:13Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's so important, you know, you just eventually,
- 1:53:16Speaker 3: you know, when these track makes you eventually run out
- 1:53:18Speaker 3: of time and you want you want these teams to
- 1:53:21Speaker 3: to have to go down the field. It's it's it's hard.
- 1:53:24Speaker 3: Clearly Utah is having a hard time stopping Ohio State
- 1:53:27Speaker 3: today and being shorthanded in the secondary, and and so yeah,
- 1:53:32Speaker 3: you've you've got to make them earn everything they get
- 1:53:34Speaker 3: and just and make them execute and make you know,
- 1:53:37Speaker 3: who knows what happens if the more the more opportunities
- 1:53:40Speaker 3: they have to make a mistake.
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: See what Jordan can do here with the kick. Goma
- 1:53:44Speaker 2: met Jordan Noys's family. They were over from England, Mom
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: and Dan some sisters over watching him play here at
- 1:53:50Speaker 2: the Rose Bull and Jigba back deep to receive noise
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: as a tear to eat up at his own thirty
- 1:53:56Speaker 2: five yard line, puts the right foot into it, drives
- 1:53:59Speaker 2: it high and end over ending. Jigba is a yard deep.
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: He'll take it out five to ten, to the fifteen,
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: to the twenty, to the twenty five. Uh oh flag
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: down into the open field, goes egg Buka and he's
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: gonna be cut down at the Utah twenty five.
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: But I think this one's gonna come back.
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: It looks like a flag in about the twenty yard line,
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: and it is and I think this will come back
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: on Ohio State.
- 1:54:23Speaker 6: During the return holding return team number four. The penalty
- 1:54:29Speaker 6: is ten yards from the spot of the fowl. It'll
- 1:54:32Speaker 6: be first down.
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: Cavazos backup defensive back got caught on the hold and
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: that may be of what opened it up for a buka,
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: And instead of being at the Utah twenty five, they'll
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: be at their own ten yard.
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: Line and a ninety yard field.
- 1:54:46Speaker 3: Whoa, yeah, and clearly it was a it was a hold, So.
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: Actually they'll spot it right at the ten yard lines
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: with a ninety yard field here for CJ. Stroud, who
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: is had zero problem moving the football on this Utah defense.
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: So now it will get loud in the north end
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: zone where we heard that before, Utah fans making some noise.
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: A CJ.
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: Stroud brings out the Buckeye offense four wide. Look Henderson
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: the back, Rukert the tight end. Utah was six near
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: the line hand off, Henderson breaks through the line and
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: out to about the sixteen. He goes for a game
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: of six on first down. A rare good run by
- 1:55:33Speaker 2: this Ohio State offense.
- 1:55:35Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think Utah is just so kind of
- 1:55:38Speaker 3: anticipating Ohio State throwing the ball right now that they're
- 1:55:41Speaker 3: just kind of being a little bit kind of cautious
- 1:55:44Speaker 3: on their run reats because normally they stopped that for
- 1:55:46Speaker 3: not a lot of games.
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: Stacking two receivers to the right hand side, three in
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: the pattern on second down and four for CJ. Stroud,
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: he'll throw to the outside. He's got his man out there.
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: That's caught by Flemock. Out beyond the twenty five to
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: about the twenty six yard line, goes Julian Fleming, and
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: now he's down. Goodness gracious, always holding that right shoulder.
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: He landed hard on it. He usually means a dislocation
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: as he comes off to the sideline. That's a first
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: down though. For Ohio State out to their own twenty
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: six twenty seven yard line, he'll come off the field.
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: They're already pretty short.
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: But man, they have a lot of receivers on his
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: Ohio State team in Jigbop and Harrison to the right,
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: two tight ends here and Henderson to the backfield. Stroud
- 1:56:36Speaker 2: out of the shotgun. On first and ten.
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: CJ.
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: Stroud hands it off Henderson bouncing and bouncing and bouncing
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: in he is taken down behind the line of scrimmage.
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: Nephi Seul Devin Lloyd both there to drop him for
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: no game.
- 1:56:55Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what you want to see, you know,
- 1:56:58Speaker 3: earlier in the game on these outside runs like this,
- 1:57:01Speaker 3: Nephi was having a tough time making those tackles. They
- 1:57:04Speaker 3: did nice job stringing it out and then you know,
- 1:57:07Speaker 3: you tackle people in their legs. I know, I say
- 1:57:09Speaker 3: this all the time, but it's just fascinating how how
- 1:57:12Speaker 3: often they go down. They just do.
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: Second down in ten buckuys, they've got to play in
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: from the sideline, straight out of the shotgun. He'll backpedal
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: the pass, look fire to the outside. It's caught right
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: there and first down yard heage out to the forty
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: make it thirty eight yard line for the buck guys.
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: A ten yard game. They thank Marvin Harris had won
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: on one in soft coverage.
- 1:57:33Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they're you know, and it's it's all
- 1:57:35Speaker 3: on Mackaybernard. I mean, they're they're gonna just throw the
- 1:57:38Speaker 3: ball to his side of the field, and he's doing
- 1:57:40Speaker 3: the best he can. I mean, he's keeping it in
- 1:57:42Speaker 3: front of him, he's making tackles. He's doing okay.
- 1:57:46Speaker 2: First in ten buck eyes Smith and Jigbin the motion
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: they're gonna throw the flankers screen here to the your
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: side to him. He's got the forty and cut down
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: at about the forty five yard line pick up on
- 1:57:57Speaker 2: the play of about seven yards for Jackson Smith and
- 1:57:59Speaker 2: jig but tackle by Vonte Davis Smith.
- 1:58:02Speaker 1: Then Jigba is having himself a day right there with CJ.
- 1:58:05Speaker 3: Strout and and I'd much rather see that play than
- 1:58:08Speaker 3: him running in the seam route down the field. Watch
- 1:58:11Speaker 3: for him right here. He's gonna gonna run up the
- 1:58:14Speaker 3: scene right.
- 1:58:14Speaker 2: Here, five wide. Look here for the buck guys. On
- 1:58:16Speaker 2: second down, that's an off side on Utahs.
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: They chase CJ. Strout.
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: He's going to take a shot down the field, throw
- 1:58:21Speaker 2: it and incomplete, but Mika Defua jumped into the neutral zone.
- 1:58:25Speaker 2: He'll give you dollar. I should say, Ohio State and
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: automatic first.
- 1:58:28Speaker 6: O side defense number forty two five yard penalty results
- 1:58:33Speaker 6: set a first down.
- 1:58:34Speaker 3: Well, and that's what you don't want to do, is now, guys,
- 1:58:37Speaker 3: you don't try to do just a little bit more.
- 1:58:40Speaker 3: You just I know he's trying to get off the ball,
- 1:58:42Speaker 3: he's trying to get pressure, but just stay within things.
- 1:58:46Speaker 3: Don't make it easier.
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: Plot running at four and a half to play here
- 1:58:49Speaker 2: in the third quarter of Utah thirty eight Ohio State
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: twenty eight. Right at midfield for the Buckeyes. This is
- 1:58:57Speaker 2: where they've scored two touchdowns to Smith and jig But
- 1:58:59Speaker 2: they taking shots.
- 1:59:01Speaker 1: We'll see if they do it.
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: Right here I formation this time as Stroud goes under
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: center in Jigba motion, man across the formation of Kai.
- 1:59:10Speaker 2: Bernard's gonna see him. Look out now a time out
- 1:59:14Speaker 2: taken by Ohio State. That might be a good thing
- 1:59:16Speaker 2: to Utah.
- 1:59:17Speaker 8: Ohio State. It's the first charge time out of the half.
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: We'll take it with it.
- 1:59:22Speaker 2: At four and a half to play here in the
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: third quarter of Utah leading Ohio State thirty eight, twenty eight.
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: This is Utah football from Learfield. Today's second half here
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: at the Rose Bowl, being brought to you by University
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: of Utah Health and Sports Medicine. The experts give you
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: the same great care they give the uts FINE of
- 1:59:43Speaker 2: Online and sportsmed Dot U of Health dot orger call
- 1:59:47Speaker 2: him an eight A, one, five, eight, seven, twenty two.
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: How about these numbers?
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: Apparently, Jackson Smith and Jigba is already the Rose Bowl
- 1:59:55Speaker 2: record holder for yards. He's got nine catches, one hundred
- 1:59:58Speaker 2: and eighty eight yards two touchdowns. Dave Spatafor says eighty
- 2:00:02Speaker 2: seven yards after catch.
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: CJ. Stroud. I don't know what the record is yet.
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: I'll have Dave look it up.
- 2:00:08Speaker 2: But twenty of twenty six, three seventy two, four touchdowns
- 2:00:11Speaker 2: and one pick. And here's the problem, Scott. Utah's not
- 2:00:14Speaker 2: getting any pressure on him. They're not making life hard.
- 2:00:17Speaker 2: The reason he struggled even a little bit against Michigan
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: was Michigan got four sacks and a bunch of pressure.
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: Utah hasn't done that today, but once or twice now.
- 2:00:25Speaker 3: It's been a little bit surprising actually that the Utah
- 2:00:27Speaker 3: And again it's it's that's that's the difference in the game.
- 2:00:30Speaker 3: And I said it before the game. Can this Can
- 2:00:33Speaker 3: this front of Utah get pressure on the quarterback? Can
- 2:00:36Speaker 3: Utah's offensive line create holes? And it's always always up
- 2:00:41Speaker 3: front where things happen. You get a great talent like
- 2:00:43Speaker 3: this and give him time to throw, and you get
- 2:00:45Speaker 3: a depleted secondary, it's a tough tough night. You gotta
- 2:00:49Speaker 3: get pressure on him.
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: Spinn Jigba lining up in the left slot, Utah's gonna
- 2:00:55Speaker 2: have to get some help over there. Here comes Clark
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: Phillips first and ten Buckeyes for midfield, trailing thirty eight
- 2:01:01Speaker 2: to twenty eight to Utah. Stroud under center Treveon Henderson,
- 2:01:06Speaker 2: play action roll to the right hand side. Stroud looking
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: dumping throwing caught complete guess who Jackson spit in jigbaw
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: in a drag route down to the Utah thirty for
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: twenty yards. He's now got two hundred and eight on
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: the afternoon in Utah or Ohio State. Going with tempo.
- 2:01:21Speaker 2: Now here we go first intent for the Utah thirty.
- 2:01:27Speaker 2: Stroud looking throwing outside, caught outside by at Buka and
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: inside the Utah twenty and out of bounds at the
- 2:01:35Speaker 2: Utah fourteen yard line for a game of sixteen yards.
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: They're picking on the khybrid ard again.
- 2:01:40Speaker 3: No question, they really figured it out and it really
- 2:01:43Speaker 3: doesn't matter. And mckais, you know, what does he have
- 2:01:46Speaker 3: to lose? I mean really, no one expects a lot
- 2:01:49Speaker 3: from him out there. He's kind of play tighter in
- 2:01:51Speaker 3: his coverage, make it harder for him to throw the ball.
- 2:01:53Speaker 3: I know he's afraid to get beat over the top here,
- 2:01:56Speaker 3: but challenge him a little bit.
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: Here we go first in ten Buckeyes from the Ohio
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: State or from the Utah fourteen yard line, and Jigba
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: in motion turn and a give on a play action
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: roll Stroud looking down the field, looking down the field,
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: throws it in the end zone, broke it up, nearly
- 2:02:16Speaker 2: intercept it. Krennie Reid. That ball hung up forever. They
- 2:02:22Speaker 2: tried to get it to Ruker at the tight end
- 2:02:23Speaker 2: and it was nearly picked off.
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is a better play by Utah here
- 2:02:27Speaker 3: to actually get it. But Karenni's got to get that.
- 2:02:30Speaker 3: He just he has to pick that off.
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: Hit it in the hands.
- 2:02:33Speaker 3: Yeah, just gotta get it. Hit him in the hands.
- 2:02:36Speaker 2: Second down and ten now at the Utah fourteen for
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: the Buckeyes. Three forty to play here in the third
- 2:02:42Speaker 2: Utah by ten stacking receivers to the right hand side,
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: Jackson and Jigba right there, they'll throw the flankers screen
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: out and tripped up and taken down. Beautiful play by
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: Clark Phillips. They got it to a Mecca egg book up,
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: but Phillips shot through and knocked him down. Third down
- 2:03:03Speaker 2: coming up, Ohio State going with tempo. Tell you what
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: Clark Phillips has had a game. I mean, that's as
- 2:03:07Speaker 2: big a time play as you can make. Right there,
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: trips to the left hand side on third and ten.
- 2:03:13Speaker 2: Now Stroud checks with the sideline as it gets loud
- 2:03:16Speaker 2: twenty on the play clock. He has his play. Got
- 2:03:19Speaker 2: to get to the Utah four for a first down.
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: Four man rush here for Utah. Stroud to pass looking, looking, looking, surveying,
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: rolling to the right, being chased to the right, throwing,
- 2:03:31Speaker 2: dumping incomplete. That'll bring up fourth down and Ohio State
- 2:03:35Speaker 2: may have to settle for a field goal. Now they
- 2:03:38Speaker 2: will kicking team coming out here for the Buckeyes and
- 2:03:41Speaker 2: an injured buck Eye at the goal line. That's the
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: tied end Rookert. Yeah, I think that's a temporary injury. Yeah,
- 2:03:50Speaker 2: he's up and walking off under his own power. This
- 2:03:52Speaker 2: will be a thirty one yard field goal from the
- 2:03:55Speaker 2: right hash trying to make it a one score game again.
- 2:03:59Speaker 2: With two fifty seven to play here in the third quarter,
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: Noah ruggles the place kicker, snap back, hold down, kick
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: is up and the kick is good. Two point fifty
- 2:04:13Speaker 2: three to play here in the third quarter, Ohio State
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: answers Utah's field goal of the field goal of their own.
- 2:04:20Speaker 2: It's Utah thirty eight and the Buckeye is thirty one.
- 2:04:23Speaker 2: This is Utah football from Learfield, just a little bit
- 2:04:32Speaker 2: of daylight left here in Pasadida on this Saturday evening
- 2:04:37Speaker 2: of the first day of twenty twenty two. It's Utah
- 2:04:40Speaker 2: thirty eight, Ohio State thirty one. Our last scoring driving
- 2:04:44Speaker 2: the buck guys. Eleven plays seventy six yards four h
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: six off the play clock.
- 2:04:49Speaker 1: Scott, you told me that's a win for the Utah
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: defense wise.
- 2:04:51Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. I mean, look, this game is
- 2:04:54Speaker 3: whittling away, and you just can't give up fast scores.
- 2:04:58Speaker 3: You can't give up big score, can't give up big
- 2:05:00Speaker 3: touchdowns to stop Ohiose State like Utah did there and
- 2:05:04Speaker 3: again Carennie Reeve, Man, he's goin to make that interception
- 2:05:07Speaker 3: when's there, But to actually just hold him to three
- 2:05:10Speaker 3: points in that situation is pretty outstanding.
- 2:05:14Speaker 1: So two fifty three remain here in the third corner.
- 2:05:17Speaker 2: Our third corner being brought to you by our friends
- 2:05:19Speaker 2: at the University of Utah Health and Sports Medicine, because
- 2:05:22Speaker 2: you belong back of the game as much as anyone.
- 2:05:24Speaker 2: Visit him online at sportsman dot U of you Health
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: dot Org. I think the Buck guys are tired of
- 2:05:31Speaker 2: kicking at to Britain Covey. I'm not sure if they'll
- 2:05:33Speaker 2: kick it his way. I can't say I blame him
- 2:05:36Speaker 2: on that either Covey and Tyrone Smith. The off return
- 2:05:41Speaker 2: man back Noah Ruggles has.
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: It teed up.
- 2:05:46Speaker 2: And his own thirty five yard line sellout crowd is
- 2:05:49Speaker 2: always here at the Rose Bowls. Seventy of the one
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: hundred thousand belong to Utah. Here Ohio State with a
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: little wife is Noah Ruggles puts his right put into it,
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: kind of pooches it short, Couve. He's gonna come up
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: and take it. At the fourteen straight ahead goes Brittin,
- 2:06:05Speaker 2: then outside goes Britain. To the thirty thirty one, thirty
- 2:06:09Speaker 2: two yard line goes Covey, and that's where Utah will
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: begin first and ten. Probably the wise decision by Ohio
- 2:06:16Speaker 2: State and a sixty eight yard field here for Cam
- 2:06:20Speaker 2: Rising in a Utah offense.
- 2:06:21Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want to give him a running head.
- 2:06:23Speaker 3: Start kick it short, make it make it tough for him,
- 2:06:26Speaker 3: but still great field position for Utah.
- 2:06:29Speaker 1: Two forty five to play in the third. First and
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: ten Utah.
- 2:06:32Speaker 2: They'll market it thirty one, so a sixty nine yard
- 2:06:35Speaker 2: field here for the Utes, empty backfield. Five receivers in
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: the pattern this time for Utah. Three of them are
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: tight ends Ohio State rushing, five rising, dumping, throwing, cought.
- 2:06:47Speaker 1: Keithy's got it.
- 2:06:49Speaker 2: Thirty five to the thirty six yard line, goes Keithy
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: for a gain of about five yards on first down.
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: I'm gonna see Brandt back out there again. Nothing wrong
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: with five on first down.
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: Money in the bank, right none this spreading out on
- 2:07:01Speaker 3: how State's been tough, but also up tempo. I'd love
- 2:07:04Speaker 3: to see Utah. I know you're trying to ball control,
- 2:07:07Speaker 3: but you can steal up tempo and ball control. You've
- 2:07:10Speaker 3: got to score points if you're Utah.
- 2:07:12Speaker 2: Right here, three tights, a wide receiver Devon Valay, Tavian Thomas,
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: and the ball game here for Utah and second down
- 2:07:18Speaker 2: and five, they give it tavan counterplay to the outside
- 2:07:21Speaker 2: forty forty five, still on his feet and down to
- 2:07:24Speaker 2: the forty nine yard line goes Tavion Thomas. That's a
- 2:07:27Speaker 2: gain of thirteen yards and a first mile first down,
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: and he was one step tackle away from taking that
- 2:07:33Speaker 2: one up the sideline. Steel Chambers made the tackle.
- 2:07:35Speaker 3: The Ohio States had a hard time on most of
- 2:07:38Speaker 3: the time initially making contact with these Utah runners, especially
- 2:07:41Speaker 3: Tavion the tight ends. Just that the yards after contact
- 2:07:46Speaker 3: have been exceptional for Utah.
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: Enis and Velay to the left, two tight ends to
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: the right on first down and ten from the Utah
- 2:07:53Speaker 2: forty nine rising under center, Tyveon Thomas behind you, turning
- 2:07:57Speaker 2: to give again, Tavion Thomas straight ahead fifty and down
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: to the buck guy forty seven yard line for a
- 2:08:03Speaker 2: game of four.
- 2:08:06Speaker 3: Yeah, and some nice patients right there.
- 2:08:09Speaker 2: You know.
- 2:08:09Speaker 3: Ohi'll state every once in a while they'll shoot a
- 2:08:11Speaker 3: guy through those gaps and they're getting that penetration, and
- 2:08:13Speaker 3: it's there. They're trying to stop Utah from running the
- 2:08:18Speaker 3: ball on first down and getting these you know, three
- 2:08:21Speaker 3: or four yards like they did. So they shoot guys
- 2:08:24Speaker 3: in those gaps trying to create run penetration, and Tavion
- 2:08:27Speaker 3: very patiently missed it and got a nice game.
- 2:08:31Speaker 2: Coming up on a minute to play here in the third,
- 2:08:32Speaker 2: second down and six for the Utes. Bernard in the
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: ball game. Now Kim cadd motion across the formation. Bernard
- 2:08:40Speaker 2: motions out rising to pass fires, caught over the middle,
- 2:08:43Speaker 2: complete and down to the buck guye thirty eight yard
- 2:08:46Speaker 2: line goes.
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: Britt and Covy.
- 2:08:48Speaker 2: They get brand Keithy, good pitch and catching the first
- 2:08:52Speaker 2: file first down for Utah, and.
- 2:08:55Speaker 3: Really all Cam does he reads the middle linebacker and
- 2:08:57Speaker 3: you just send out guys in all these places. Middle
- 2:08:59Speaker 3: linebacker went to the weak side where the back came out,
- 2:09:02Speaker 3: and Keithy's just sitting in a big hole right there.
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: And great first down calls Cope far to the right side.
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: Three tight ends and Tavyon Thomas with the Buckeye thirty
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: eight rising turns and gives it again to Tabon, bouncing
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: it inside, now outside, and really no gain on the play,
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: and that should take us probably to the end of
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: the third quarter here at the Rose Bowl. No gain,
- 2:09:27Speaker 2: second down to ten when we get back. Three quarters
- 2:09:31Speaker 2: in the books, Utah fans three quarters in the books,
- 2:09:35Speaker 2: the Utes trying to close out their special season here
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: today in Pasadena. As we head to the fourth quarter,
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: it's Utah thirty eight in Ohio state thirty one.
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: And this is Utah football from Learfield.
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: Three quarters down in a quarter to go, as Utah
- 2:10:03Speaker 2: fans if turned on their flashlights as we head to
- 2:10:07Speaker 2: the fourth quarter here at the Rose Bowl to honor
- 2:10:09Speaker 2: Tie Jordan and Aaron Lowe. The moment of loudness will
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: come here in a few minutes, but this is gonna
- 2:10:15Speaker 2: be the honoring as they do between the third and
- 2:10:17Speaker 2: fourth quarter at home. Our fourth quarter today being brought
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: to you by Ivory Holmes, Utah's number one home builder
- 2:10:24Speaker 2: and the twenty twenty one home Builder of the Year, Scott.
- 2:10:27Speaker 2: We've got a one score game here. Utah led by
- 2:10:30Speaker 2: fourteen at halftime. They lead by seven as we go
- 2:10:32Speaker 2: to the fourth quarter here thirty eight thirty one. What
- 2:10:34Speaker 2: do you see it?
- 2:10:36Speaker 3: Well, the defense is kind of slowing Ohio State down
- 2:10:39Speaker 3: here a little bit. This offense you got to figure
- 2:10:41Speaker 3: out a way how when you get man coverage on
- 2:10:44Speaker 3: third down, you gotta beat man coverage because you're gonna
- 2:10:46Speaker 3: get it here in just a minute. You don't get
- 2:10:48Speaker 3: this first this first down, I mean second and long here.
- 2:10:51Speaker 3: The Utah's got to answer. They got to They gotta
- 2:10:54Speaker 3: score points. They got to just keep running the clock
- 2:10:56Speaker 3: down scoring points. But you can't get you can't get soft.
- 2:10:59Speaker 3: You gotta still stay aggressive here That's why Utah's ahead
- 2:11:03Speaker 3: in this game is because they've attacked Ohio State and
- 2:11:05Speaker 3: they've been very aggressive.
- 2:11:07Speaker 1: So the units will come out heading north to south.
- 2:11:10Speaker 2: Here at the Rose Bowl second and ten at the
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: Ohio State thirty eight, they'll have McKay Bernard, Cam Rising,
- 2:11:22Speaker 2: two tight ends and two wide receivers. We had third
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: quarter fireworks and now the smoke is beginning to clear.
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: Here we go, rising out of the gun.
- 2:11:34Speaker 8: What do we have? Please? Just seven gameclock to fifteen minutes.
- 2:11:37Speaker 8: We'll start on a.
- 2:11:37Speaker 3: Snap and the clock operator a little excited. Utah fen
- 2:11:43Speaker 3: he's off sides. It's a five yard penalty on the
- 2:11:46Speaker 3: clock operator.
- 2:11:49Speaker 2: Well thought they were in a motion. McKay Bernard out
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: of the backfield. We'll see if they still decide to
- 2:11:52Speaker 2: do that. Right here, the clock ran four seconds before
- 2:11:56Speaker 2: the ball was ever snapped.
- 2:11:59Speaker 8: Please at the game clock to fifteen minutes.
- 2:12:01Speaker 2: There we go.
- 2:12:03Speaker 3: That's an old clock here at the Rose Bowl.
- 2:12:05Speaker 2: And the hand wine that thing. Here we go.
- 2:12:10Speaker 1: Bernard out of the backfield.
- 2:12:11Speaker 2: Empty backfield here for cam Rising might be a quarterback keeper.
- 2:12:14Speaker 2: Cam backpedals, look, scrambles to the outside forty thirty five
- 2:12:18Speaker 2: and out of bounds at the thirty yard line. That'll
- 2:12:20Speaker 2: be a pickup of a bouts. Where do they market
- 2:12:22Speaker 2: oh to thirty two? Wow, So that's a pickup of six.
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: It'll be third down and four here for Utah, for
- 2:12:28Speaker 2: the Ohio state thirty two. And you have to think
- 2:12:31Speaker 2: probably four down territory here for Utah.
- 2:12:33Speaker 3: I would think so. And if it is, you might
- 2:12:34Speaker 3: want to consider running the football here because you're gonna
- 2:12:36Speaker 3: you're gonna get Ohio Saint. It's gonna sell out to
- 2:12:39Speaker 3: the run in this situation.
- 2:12:42Speaker 2: Two tight ends, two wide receivers and tab on Thomas
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: Cam and the gun. Third down and four Buckeyes crowd
- 2:12:49Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. Cam keeps it straight ahead and
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: he gets a yard and that's it. He took a shot.
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: It'll be fourth.
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: Down in three here and decision time Kyle Winningham and
- 2:13:01Speaker 2: he's going to keep the offense out there on board
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: to three.
- 2:13:03Speaker 3: Yeah. And what you have is is you know that
- 2:13:06Speaker 3: zone read and they blitz everyone. You have everyone covered.
- 2:13:12Speaker 3: You got to you gotta go power, you know, you
- 2:13:13Speaker 3: gotta have two tight ends leading something power to change that.
- 2:13:18Speaker 2: Utah one out of two on fourth down, here we
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: go empty backfield for rising five wide in the pattern.
- 2:13:25Speaker 3: Here.
- 2:13:26Speaker 2: Now they bring the running back back in Ohio State
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: showing pressure. Here they come rising the pass looking firing
- 2:13:34Speaker 2: outside taught by Keithy. He's right at the sticks. He's
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: right at the sticks. What mark do they give him?
- 2:13:42Speaker 2: He's right at the sticks? What mark do they give him?
- 2:13:47Speaker 2: Ohio State says they stopped him Ohio in Utah's defense
- 2:13:50Speaker 2: is coming on the field. That's a stop by the
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: Ohio State defense. Keith Ye needed to get four yards
- 2:13:59Speaker 2: three and a a half yards and he only got
- 2:14:01Speaker 2: three in. Ohio State's defense has made their biggest play
- 2:14:05Speaker 2: of the day so far.
- 2:14:06Speaker 3: And it's those third downs where they've they've been man
- 2:14:09Speaker 3: man coverage and Utah just hasn't won big enough those
- 2:14:11Speaker 3: in those situations.
- 2:14:13Speaker 2: So here we go, one score game and CJ. Stroud
- 2:14:16Speaker 2: brings his offense back out from his own twenty nine.
- 2:14:21Speaker 2: Then the Utah defense get a stop. Strouded the gun.
- 2:14:28Speaker 2: He'll pass first down, lots of time, surveys throws over
- 2:14:32Speaker 2: the middle. It's complete, but not much there. Dumps it
- 2:14:35Speaker 2: off to Julian Fleming his shoulder earlier and Fleming picks
- 2:14:39Speaker 2: up about three yards to the thirty two yard line.
- 2:14:41Speaker 3: Yeah, Fleming's got like a looks like a brace on
- 2:14:44Speaker 3: his arm.
- 2:14:45Speaker 2: And now they'll go with tempo, no huddle. They kind
- 2:14:48Speaker 2: of do this quite a bit. They may look to
- 2:14:49Speaker 2: the sideline too. Four wives here, Utah crowding the line.
- 2:14:54Speaker 2: Now they'll back away. Stroud will pass fires over the middle,
- 2:14:59Speaker 2: caught forty five Jackson and Jig, but to the outside
- 2:15:03Speaker 2: fifty forty and out of bounds at the Utah thirty
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: eight yard line. Jackson, Smith and Jigbuff forced out of
- 2:15:11Speaker 2: bounds by Vonte Davis.
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: He caught at eight yards down. Peel just ran away
- 2:15:15Speaker 1: from everybody.
- 2:15:16Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that little play action, just trying to
- 2:15:18Speaker 3: find a scene there in between people and just guys. Again,
- 2:15:22Speaker 3: you've got to make those tackles when they're there.
- 2:15:26Speaker 2: First into in Ohio State down a touchdown with thirteen
- 2:15:30Speaker 2: to play in the clock, running from the Utah thirty
- 2:15:33Speaker 2: eight yard line. CJ. Stroud closing in on the Rose
- 2:15:38Speaker 2: Bowl record for passing. He'll go under center this time
- 2:15:41Speaker 2: with Henderson behind him. At this point, I don't know
- 2:15:45Speaker 2: why you'd run the football if you're Ohio State turning
- 2:15:50Speaker 2: a give Henderson breaks through the hole, gets down to
- 2:15:54Speaker 2: the thirty five maybe thirty four for a four yard game.
- 2:15:59Speaker 2: They tried that right side picked up fourth.
- 2:16:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and they like, you know, to answer your question,
- 2:16:03Speaker 3: they like to, you know, still have that run because
- 2:16:05Speaker 3: that play action and slipping those wide receivers in between
- 2:16:09Speaker 3: the linebackers and the safeties. And that's just been really
- 2:16:13Speaker 3: effective for Ohio State, which I wouldn't be surprised if
- 2:16:16Speaker 3: you don't see that right.
- 2:16:17Speaker 2: Here, second down in six for the Utah thirty four,
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: Bunch said to the right side for the Buckeyes, Shroud
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: checks with the sideline spit. Then Jigbo lines up in
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: the slot. That's where he's been most dangerous. Ohio State's
- 2:16:38Speaker 2: gonna have to take a time out.
- 2:16:39Speaker 8: Wow, time out, Ohio State. It's their second charge time out.
- 2:16:45Speaker 2: Of the half. We'll take that time out with them.
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: Eleven fifty five. Things getting close and tight here in Pasadena.
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: It's Utah thirty eight and Ohio State thirty one. This
- 2:16:54Speaker 2: is Utah football from the Rose Bowl and right here
- 2:16:57Speaker 2: from Learfield. We've got our moment of loudness now here
- 2:17:05Speaker 2: at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Utah fans on their feet,
- 2:17:09Speaker 2: honoring Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe are broadcast today being
- 2:17:15Speaker 2: brought to you by red Box. They've got the latest
- 2:17:17Speaker 2: hit movies like the suspense thriller Conjuring three, The Devil
- 2:17:21Speaker 2: Made Me Do It. He's got a Redbox dot com
- 2:17:24Speaker 2: grow all the ways to watch. Let's hope that moment
- 2:17:27Speaker 2: of loudness Scott inspires this Utah defense because they're on
- 2:17:30Speaker 2: their heels a bit now, the eleven fifty five to
- 2:17:33Speaker 2: play Utah with a touchdown lead, but Ohio State.
- 2:17:36Speaker 3: On the move again. Yeah, and you know this is
- 2:17:38Speaker 3: about doing twenty two percent more. And you think of
- 2:17:40Speaker 3: Kay Bernard, who's two and he's doing two percent or
- 2:17:44Speaker 3: number two on defense and number two on offense. He's
- 2:17:47Speaker 3: doing twice twenty two percent more than he normally would.
- 2:17:50Speaker 3: I mean, my hat is really off to this kid
- 2:17:53Speaker 3: for what the effort he's put forth here today really is.
- 2:17:55Speaker 3: And this this team that's a little bit undermanned here,
- 2:17:59Speaker 3: but somehow they can just find a way to just
- 2:18:02Speaker 3: just finish this game off and stop Ohio State here
- 2:18:06Speaker 3: and go down and score a touchdown and they just
- 2:18:08Speaker 3: they just gotta they gotta see this thing through to
- 2:18:10Speaker 3: the end. I mean, that's what it's all about.
- 2:18:12Speaker 2: Our fourth quarter being brought to you by Ivory Holmes,
- 2:18:15Speaker 2: Utah's number one home builder from the Rose Bowl, Bill Riley, Scott,
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: Mitchell Stevens, and Sylvester buck Eyes second and sixth of
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: the Utah thirty four, Utah thirty eight, Ohio State thirty one.
- 2:18:31Speaker 1: Everybody's set up now.
- 2:18:32Speaker 2: They ship personnel around, two tight ends, two receivers at
- 2:18:36Speaker 2: a tailback. Stroud under center has his play from the
- 2:18:39Speaker 2: sideline Jackson and Jigba in motion.
- 2:18:43Speaker 1: CJ.
- 2:18:44Speaker 2: Stroud play action role to the right, dumps it to
- 2:18:46Speaker 2: his tight end. Rucker twenty five twenty Utah fifteen and
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: down to the thirteen yard line. Utah's tackling has been
- 2:18:55Speaker 2: poor here today, Scott. That was another example.
- 2:18:58Speaker 3: Yeah, it really has. But that's that's an example of
- 2:19:00Speaker 3: why they've run the ball. You know here they run
- 2:19:02Speaker 3: bootleg here and the backside just just misses it, doesn't
- 2:19:05Speaker 3: see it.
- 2:19:08Speaker 2: Here's Stroud looking surveying, pumping, rolling to his right, dumping
- 2:19:12Speaker 2: it in the flat. He's got the back who steps
- 2:19:14Speaker 2: out of bounds. That's Henderson and about the Utah ten
- 2:19:18Speaker 2: yard line. Pick up about two yards. It'll be second
- 2:19:20Speaker 2: down an eight. Yeah, and this has been a tough
- 2:19:22Speaker 2: spot here for CJ.
- 2:19:23Speaker 3: Stroud. He's almost throwing. He's thrown up to any interception
- 2:19:26Speaker 3: and almost another one here gets kind of tight. It's
- 2:19:29Speaker 3: a little bit harder to make those plays.
- 2:19:32Speaker 2: This has been the spot where he's really like Marvin Harrison,
- 2:19:35Speaker 2: a back smith and jigbas not on the field right now,
- 2:19:38Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison is he and fleming two tight ends of
- 2:19:41Speaker 2: the tailback Henderson second and eight for the Utah ten.
- 2:19:44Speaker 2: Stroud of the pistol shifts his tight ends to the
- 2:19:47Speaker 2: right hand side. Utah was six at the line. Stroud
- 2:19:51Speaker 2: turns and rolls to the rights, looking looking, servying, throws back,
- 2:19:55Speaker 2: has his tailback Henderson inside to the five and down
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: right there. Henderson was locked up and then got to
- 2:20:03Speaker 2: the five that'll bring up third down in two and
- 2:20:06Speaker 2: this is four down territory, you know it for Ohio State.
- 2:20:09Speaker 3: Utah did a good job. It was kind of a
- 2:20:11Speaker 3: bootleg throwback to the tailback in Utah State home and
- 2:20:15Speaker 3: really really could have been a lot bigger play right there.
- 2:20:18Speaker 1: Smidt and Jig, but back of the ball game.
- 2:20:21Speaker 2: He's splitting the slot on the right hand side, third
- 2:20:25Speaker 2: and two of the Utah five for the Buckeyes. Treveon
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: Henderson next to CJ. Stroud, man coverage on Harrison here
- 2:20:33Speaker 2: on the near sideline. Stroud takes the staff Utah bringing
- 2:20:40Speaker 2: the blitz throws outside, caught touchdown Harrison. He beat Phillips
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: and we're a pat away from being tied. Here at
- 2:20:47Speaker 2: the Rose Bull.
- 2:20:52Speaker 1: CJ.
- 2:20:53Speaker 2: Stroud is a surgeon and showing you why he's a
- 2:20:56Speaker 2: Heisman finalist. He has been spinning.
- 2:21:00Speaker 1: That's acular here today.
- 2:21:02Speaker 3: Yeah. If you know, if I'm a quarterback, I love
- 2:21:05Speaker 3: getting man coverage down on the goal line because you're
- 2:21:08Speaker 3: gonna get quick throws and you beat people quick. I
- 2:21:11Speaker 3: just think it's easier. It's harder as a quarterback. You
- 2:21:13Speaker 3: play quarters coverage everything just a lot of bodies and
- 2:21:16Speaker 3: you keep everything in front of you. I just you know,
- 2:21:19Speaker 3: they tried to blitz CJ. Stroud, but he's he's gonna
- 2:21:22Speaker 3: get rid of the ball quick at the goal line.
- 2:21:24Speaker 3: You're not gonna get to him. I don't know why
- 2:21:26Speaker 3: Utah would do that in that situation.
- 2:21:27Speaker 2: Pat up and good. We're tied at thirty eight ten
- 2:21:32Speaker 2: twelve to play time out on the field. This is
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: Utah football from their field ten twelve to play. Here
- 2:21:42Speaker 2: in the ball game at the Rose Bowl, Utah win
- 2:21:44Speaker 2: from being up fourteen to tide.
- 2:21:46Speaker 1: It's thirty eight thirty eight CJ.
- 2:21:49Speaker 2: Stroud twenty nine of thirty seven, four hundred and seventy
- 2:21:53Speaker 2: five yards and five touchdowns. That's a Rose Bowl record
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: for passing. He's got bordered eighty five total. That's a
- 2:21:59Speaker 2: Rose Bowl record too.
- 2:22:01Speaker 1: Slide. What are you seeing down there? I'm guessing that
- 2:22:03Speaker 1: defense has to be gassed.
- 2:22:04Speaker 4: Yeah, they they're they're looking very tired out there. But
- 2:22:07Speaker 4: the key word is is they're just not confident. You know,
- 2:22:10Speaker 4: their technique and pre snap is not working well.
- 2:22:13Speaker 5: They should have a couple guys looking at the sideline,
- 2:22:16Speaker 5: a couple of guys looking at the offensive formation, and
- 2:22:19Speaker 5: then they need to help each other out, get lined
- 2:22:21Speaker 5: up and get get together.
- 2:22:22Speaker 4: And they're just not doing that. And this defense it's crazy.
- 2:22:26Speaker 5: It's not like Ohio State is doing anything like extraordinary.
- 2:22:31Speaker 4: They're just not focused right now.
- 2:22:33Speaker 5: And so in order to win this game, we were
- 2:22:36Speaker 5: in a shootout zero zero ten minutes left of the
- 2:22:38Speaker 5: go to game.
- 2:22:39Speaker 4: Let's see what we got.
- 2:22:41Speaker 2: Utah dominated early Ohio State. Now dominating late. What do
- 2:22:44Speaker 2: you see in Scott?
- 2:22:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a lot of what's sly said.
- 2:22:48Speaker 3: I mean it's a great point. When you play tenat,
- 2:22:50Speaker 3: if you play unsure of yourself, you don't make tackles,
- 2:22:54Speaker 3: you don't do those simple things. When you're when you're
- 2:22:56Speaker 3: locked in, when you're focused, when you're when you're just
- 2:22:59Speaker 3: flying around and plays and just doing things, you know,
- 2:23:01Speaker 3: that's when that's when it really happens. But you know,
- 2:23:06Speaker 3: Utah hasn't got pressure on CJ. Stroud at all, and
- 2:23:10Speaker 3: and he's you know, really picked on a very depleted
- 2:23:12Speaker 3: secondary here. The question is is, you know, couldn't Kybern
- 2:23:17Speaker 3: aren't finished this game out? But Utah's got a score.
- 2:23:19Speaker 3: They got to answer back right here on offense before
- 2:23:22Speaker 3: they get the defense again.
- 2:23:23Speaker 2: They do indeed, right Ruggles has it teed up? Ruggles
- 2:23:28Speaker 2: will pooch kick it short again? It will be taking
- 2:23:31Speaker 2: it about the twenty yard line, twenty twenty five, still
- 2:23:34Speaker 2: on his feet out and on his feet and driven
- 2:23:36Speaker 2: backwards at the thirty three yard line for Utah. Didn't
- 2:23:40Speaker 2: see who the up man was. It was Steel Howard
- 2:23:43Speaker 2: and Utah will be in first and ten right there,
- 2:23:45Speaker 2: Ohio State after what Coubby did in the first half,
- 2:23:48Speaker 2: will not kick to him again. And Utah and Cam Rising,
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: they've got to find a way to answer. Now Scott
- 2:23:53Speaker 2: with ten oh five to play a nice clock eating
- 2:23:56Speaker 2: touchdown drive would be just what the doctor ordered.
- 2:23:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean really it's and again, when you try
- 2:24:04Speaker 3: to eat up the clock, you can't you can't lose
- 2:24:06Speaker 3: your aggressiveness. And where Utah has kind of slowed things
- 2:24:09Speaker 3: down is they just haven't stayed aggressive calling plays and
- 2:24:11Speaker 3: having that temple they had earlier in the game.
- 2:24:15Speaker 1: Pledgure in Tubby Wright three tight ends left.
- 2:24:19Speaker 2: Now Cam will move him around on first and ten
- 2:24:21Speaker 2: from the thirty four, Rising under center, turns and play
- 2:24:25Speaker 2: actions looking down the field, He's going to take off
- 2:24:28Speaker 2: and be sacked. Did he funckle it incomplete pass? I
- 2:24:36Speaker 2: think he said he was down. That's gonna be a sag.
- 2:24:39Speaker 2: Oh Cam's hurt. Oh no, Cam Rising's down and hurt
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: and he might be out. Oh man, he's laying on
- 2:24:48Speaker 2: his back and he's down right now. He took a big,
- 2:24:52Speaker 2: big hit. His head may have hit the ground. Cam
- 2:24:54Speaker 2: Rising is down and out. Team doctors out tending to
- 2:24:58Speaker 2: Cam Rising, right now he's laying flat on his back
- 2:25:02Speaker 2: in about the eighteen yard line. Kyle Whittingham coming out
- 2:25:05Speaker 2: to check on his quarterback as well. Andrew Quindon. Jackson's
- 2:25:08Speaker 2: gonna have to warm up on the sideline right now
- 2:25:10Speaker 2: for Utah. It's gonna be a loss of about ten
- 2:25:16Speaker 2: yards on the play, but that's not important right now.
- 2:25:19Speaker 2: What's important right now is the health of number seven.
- 2:25:27Speaker 3: Yeah, he really, You know, it's so hard because you're
- 2:25:30Speaker 3: just trying to you know, you know you have to score,
- 2:25:33Speaker 3: you know, you have to to make things happen. And
- 2:25:36Speaker 3: Cam's been so good at scrambling and making things happens
- 2:25:39Speaker 3: with his legs. But that play right there, he just
- 2:25:41Speaker 3: couldn't get out of it and just tried.
- 2:25:43Speaker 8: To do it. Really is the quarterback was down my
- 2:25:45Speaker 8: forward progress at this spot.
- 2:25:47Speaker 2: Timeout, We'll take the time out with him and hopefully
- 2:25:51Speaker 2: good news for you on the other side. On Cam
- 2:25:53Speaker 2: Rising thirty eight thirty eight, with nine point fifty six
- 2:25:57Speaker 2: to play, Cam Rising down, This is Utah football from
- 2:26:01Speaker 2: lair Field back of the Rose Bowl for the Big
- 2:26:07Speaker 2: O'd Tires broadcast both good news. Cam Rising sat up
- 2:26:10Speaker 2: and walked off the field under his own power, but
- 2:26:13Speaker 2: he was woozy when he won. Off the field. He's
- 2:26:15Speaker 2: in the medical tents. And it's not ja Quinton Jackson
- 2:26:18Speaker 2: who's the quarterback on the field. It's third string quarterback
- 2:26:22Speaker 2: Bryson Barnes, the former walk.
- 2:26:24Speaker 1: On from Central Utah. Yeah, a big spot here for
- 2:26:30Speaker 1: Bryson Barnes.
- 2:26:31Speaker 2: Scott Mitchell.
- 2:26:31Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. I mean, all right, go in
- 2:26:34Speaker 3: into the Rose Bowl and in a tie ball game
- 2:26:37Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter and you never really played, you know,
- 2:26:41Speaker 3: I guess, I guess maybe running the offense completely is
- 2:26:45Speaker 3: maybe the you know, Andy feels like he's the guy
- 2:26:47Speaker 3: that gives him the best shot here. But the thing
- 2:26:49Speaker 3: is is you've got a lot of people that can
- 2:26:53Speaker 3: make plays, you know, so as a young quarterback, just
- 2:26:56Speaker 3: get the ball into the people who you know who
- 2:26:59Speaker 3: make the plays. And unfortunately in this situation, you know,
- 2:27:03Speaker 3: I don't I don't think Utah is going to get
- 2:27:04Speaker 3: pretty crazy here. I mean, it's second and twenty. It's
- 2:27:08Speaker 3: hard to convert that. And you know, hopefully, hopefully cam
- 2:27:11Speaker 3: Rise if you come back in the game. I mean,
- 2:27:12Speaker 3: I just hope he's okay.
- 2:27:15Speaker 2: We'll call it second down in seventeen here for Utah's
- 2:27:18Speaker 2: Bryson Barnes comes on to take his first meaningful snap
- 2:27:21Speaker 2: as a collegiate.
- 2:27:23Speaker 1: TJ.
- 2:27:23Speaker 2: Pledger In Barnes under center, turns and gives it to TJ.
- 2:27:27Speaker 2: TJ straight ahead, picks up a yard. That's it.
- 2:27:30Speaker 1: Third down and long coming up.
- 2:27:35Speaker 3: And you're probably gonna see that again. Maybe a screen, yeah,
- 2:27:38Speaker 3: maybe a screen, but you know, Ohio State they're just
- 2:27:41Speaker 3: gonna sit back and just keep everything in front of
- 2:27:43Speaker 3: them right here and get the ball back.
- 2:27:47Speaker 2: Third down in sixteen here for Utah camp rising in
- 2:27:51Speaker 2: the medical tent. Bryson Barnes on tav On Thomas in
- 2:27:54Speaker 2: two receivers left, two receivers right as Ohio State backs up.
- 2:27:58Speaker 2: We'll see if they bring pressure, sure they will, six
- 2:28:02Speaker 2: man rushing this time. Barnes gives it to Tavon Thomas
- 2:28:05Speaker 2: straight ahead. Tavyan out to the forty yard line, picks
- 2:28:08Speaker 2: up a good chunk of it. It'll be fourth and
- 2:28:11Speaker 2: four coming up here in Utah will have to set
- 2:28:13Speaker 2: the punt team out. Good run by Thomas picked up
- 2:28:17Speaker 2: about eleven maybe twelve yards, but that'll bring up fourth
- 2:28:20Speaker 2: down here. As the plot runs, with eight forty five
- 2:28:23Speaker 2: eight forty four eight forty three to play.
- 2:28:27Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean, you know what, the defense got
- 2:28:28Speaker 3: to show up here. I mean, you can pin Ohio
- 2:28:31Speaker 3: State back down. They're end of the field here. Of course,
- 2:28:34Speaker 3: the punter's got to catch the punt the snap first
- 2:28:37Speaker 3: and then go from there.
- 2:28:39Speaker 1: But Cam Peasley on takes the snap, kicks it straight away.
- 2:28:44Speaker 2: Not a bad punt. It's gonna be fair caught at
- 2:28:47Speaker 2: about the fourteen yard line by spidd and Jigbu And
- 2:28:51Speaker 2: now the Utah defense, who has been on the field
- 2:28:54Speaker 2: for an eternity here in the second half, we'll have
- 2:28:57Speaker 2: to try to come up with a stop forty five
- 2:29:00Speaker 2: yard punt no return buck eyes first and ten at
- 2:29:03Speaker 2: their own fifteen yard line.
- 2:29:04Speaker 1: In a thirty eight to thirty eight game with eight
- 2:29:06Speaker 1: nineteen to play.
- 2:29:08Speaker 3: I mean, here's the deal. You know, you guys talk
- 2:29:10Speaker 3: all year about finishing games, and you've had this impackful,
- 2:29:13Speaker 3: just you know, emotionally gut wrenching year. This is the
- 2:29:16Speaker 3: Rose Bowl. Guys just need to find a way to
- 2:29:20Speaker 3: just show up, find a way to finish, find a
- 2:29:22Speaker 3: way to make plays, find a way for this defense
- 2:29:24Speaker 3: to just get off this field right now.
- 2:29:25Speaker 2: All the momentum on Ohio State side now three wide
- 2:29:29Speaker 2: and the tight end tailback Travion Henderson first and tent
- 2:29:32Speaker 2: for the fifteen turn it a give Henderson threw a
- 2:29:36Speaker 2: hole on his feet twenty five and awfter the twenty six.
- 2:29:39Speaker 2: That's the best run of today by Ohio State. That's
- 2:29:41Speaker 2: eleven yards and a first down. It's got I just
- 2:29:43Speaker 2: think this Utah defense is tired right now.
- 2:29:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and they really shouldn't be tired running the ball house,
- 2:29:49Speaker 3: staying run the ball in the game. Yet and again,
- 2:29:53Speaker 3: these linebackers have been so good, have just all of
- 2:29:55Speaker 3: a sudden gotten very tentative.
- 2:29:57Speaker 1: Right here, can they make a stop?
- 2:29:58Speaker 2: First intent Buckeyes their own twenty six backpedaling to pass
- 2:30:02Speaker 2: a CJ. Stroud dumps it over the middle to his
- 2:30:04Speaker 2: tight end rucker across the thirty five and out to
- 2:30:07Speaker 2: the thirty six. That's ten more yards and another Buck
- 2:30:10Speaker 2: guy first down. Very easy right now for the Buck guys.
- 2:30:14Speaker 2: Two plays and twenty one yards.
- 2:30:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and right here, you know, now they've kind of
- 2:30:22Speaker 3: got the ball out of their end of the field
- 2:30:24Speaker 3: on some very watch for play action and throwing the
- 2:30:28Speaker 3: seam here too, those wide receivers.
- 2:30:31Speaker 2: Here we go first and ten buck Eyes at their
- 2:30:33Speaker 2: own thirty six, seven to twenty five to play on
- 2:30:36Speaker 2: the clock, running the ball game thirty eight, thirty eight.
- 2:30:39Speaker 2: Look out, nobody's covering Smith and Jigbut now they'll bring
- 2:30:42Speaker 2: him in motion, turning a give again, this time Henderson bouncing,
- 2:30:46Speaker 2: pushing forward, picking up three to the thirty nine yard line.
- 2:30:50Speaker 2: Goodness gracious, if they kept Smith and Jigba in that
- 2:30:53Speaker 2: left slot there was nobody there covering it. They moved
- 2:30:55Speaker 2: him in motion instead. Second down in seven he for
- 2:30:58Speaker 2: the buck Eyes.
- 2:30:59Speaker 3: And that's some of those things that you know Sly
- 2:31:01Speaker 3: was talking about, not a lot of communication, not getting
- 2:31:04Speaker 3: the calls in, not communicating them. It's just Utah seems
- 2:31:08Speaker 3: very discombobulated on defense, as.
- 2:31:10Speaker 2: He said, still nobody covering him. Stroud throwing to the outside.
- 2:31:14Speaker 2: It's caught there by Harrison into Utah territory and out
- 2:31:17Speaker 2: of the Utah forty five. That's a pigeon catch of
- 2:31:23Speaker 2: fifteen maybe seventeen on the play. Buckeye fans, the few
- 2:31:26Speaker 2: that are here want of a late hit. Yeah, and
- 2:31:29Speaker 2: they may be right. I mean again, Macaindernardi, you know,
- 2:31:33Speaker 2: it's it's new for him. Too much of a cushion,
- 2:31:38Speaker 2: but you know it's just what it's going to be.
- 2:31:40Speaker 2: Four plays in into Utah territory to the Utah forty five,
- 2:31:44Speaker 2: six twenty five to play. Stroud to pass again, looking
- 2:31:48Speaker 2: being pressured, being chased to the outside, throwing it over
- 2:31:51Speaker 2: and incomplete, nearly sacked Devin Kalfusi and now CJ. Stroud
- 2:31:57Speaker 2: slow to.
- 2:31:57Speaker 3: Get up.
- 2:32:00Speaker 2: Out on a knee at the Utah for at the
- 2:32:01Speaker 2: Ohio State forty five. Now he's up and okay, second
- 2:32:05Speaker 2: down and ten.
- 2:32:06Speaker 3: Yeah, and Devin Cavusi came around and had him and
- 2:32:08Speaker 3: he just he hesitated. You just gotta go run right
- 2:32:11Speaker 3: through him, and he would have sacked him right there.
- 2:32:13Speaker 3: Stroud in some pain right now. Ohio State might want
- 2:32:15Speaker 3: to think about a time out. They don't have very many.
- 2:32:18Speaker 2: I have one left, but Stroud's in some pain. Second
- 2:32:22Speaker 2: and ten at the Utah forty five play clock at nine,
- 2:32:28Speaker 2: Stroud hands it off. Henderson taken down after a game
- 2:32:33Speaker 2: of about two to the Utah forty three.
- 2:32:37Speaker 1: Good tackle it open space that time by Devin Lloyd
- 2:32:40Speaker 1: and third down.
- 2:32:41Speaker 3: At eight coming up.
- 2:32:44Speaker 2: Big third down here for the Utah defense. As it
- 2:32:53Speaker 2: gets loud, buck eyes are four out of eight. We'll
- 2:32:58Speaker 2: get the sideline for the plug. Five five to play.
- 2:33:01Speaker 1: Here at the fourth thirty eight, thirty eight.
- 2:33:05Speaker 2: Stroud's got his play. Utah fans making noise. Here comes
- 2:33:12Speaker 2: the blitz up the middle. Stroud throws to the outside,
- 2:33:15Speaker 2: caught there and a shirt down, a bounce shorter, first
- 2:33:18Speaker 2: down yardage at the Utah thirty nine.
- 2:33:21Speaker 1: That's gonna be four yards short.
- 2:33:22Speaker 2: Fourth down and four. What does Ryan Dad do? I
- 2:33:25Speaker 2: think he's gonna go for it here he will. On
- 2:33:27Speaker 2: fourth down and four, He's gonna go for it. He's
- 2:33:29Speaker 2: gotta get to the Utah thirty five. The blitz that
- 2:33:33Speaker 2: time made Stroud throw it quick. Here we go. Fourth down.
- 2:33:38Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw it up. He's gonna throw it up
- 2:33:41Speaker 2: top to Bernard Flemmings out there. Bernard's got him and
- 2:33:48Speaker 2: Smith and Jig by the near slot. It's a passing
- 2:33:52Speaker 2: down fourth and four. Stroud takes the.
- 2:33:54Speaker 1: Ball, looks, looks, looks, throws.
- 2:33:57Speaker 2: Over the middle, caught at the Utah thirty and at abound.
- 2:34:01Speaker 2: That's a first down for the Buckeyes with four forty
- 2:34:03Speaker 2: seven to play. Jackson Smith th jig but does it again.
- 2:34:07Speaker 2: Utah had no pressure that time off CJ.
- 2:34:09Speaker 1: Stroud.
- 2:34:14Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's tough when you can sit back there
- 2:34:16Speaker 3: for four or five seconds and just hit guys.
- 2:34:18Speaker 2: Here we go first and tenth of the Utah thirty
- 2:34:22Speaker 2: strouted the gun, master tigue next to it, passing down, strout, looking, surveying,
- 2:34:27Speaker 2: firing long to the end zone. Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. Ohio
- 2:34:38Speaker 2: State Jackson Smith and Jigbok came up with it and
- 2:34:42Speaker 2: the Buckeyes leaded with four twenty two to play.
- 2:34:46Speaker 1: I want to throw and catch by the Ohio State Buckeyes.
- 2:34:50Speaker 3: That really is I mean, because it was it was
- 2:34:52Speaker 3: tight coverage right there. But you know, your dB, you
- 2:34:55Speaker 3: got you got to try to make a play on that.
- 2:34:57Speaker 3: When when the ball comes down, you just got to
- 2:34:59Speaker 3: read it. I mean, Manta Ali is right there and
- 2:35:02Speaker 3: he just oh, that ball is just way on the end.
- 2:35:04Speaker 3: He's got to try it. I mean Monte Ailey just
- 2:35:06Speaker 3: kind of let him catch it.
- 2:35:07Speaker 2: He never never saw the ball.
- 2:35:10Speaker 3: Wow.
- 2:35:12Speaker 2: So the Buckeys, who trailed by fourteen, are a pat
- 2:35:15Speaker 2: away from their first lead to day of seven. Four
- 2:35:21Speaker 2: twenty two remains. Kick is up, Kick is good. Ohio
- 2:35:32Speaker 2: State forty five, Utah thirty eight. And will we see
- 2:35:37Speaker 2: Cam rising or will we see Bryce and Barnes. That's
- 2:35:41Speaker 2: really the question we have to have right now. The
- 2:35:46Speaker 2: Utah defense gassed a five hundred yard passing day for CJ.
- 2:35:52Speaker 2: Stroud and six touchdowns five hundred four yards and a
- 2:35:57Speaker 2: Rose Bowl record in passing yards and touch downs down too.
- 2:36:03Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, that was an amazing throw. I
- 2:36:06Speaker 3: mean it wasn't. I mean, it was actually pretty decent
- 2:36:08Speaker 3: coverage and but that was just that was just a
- 2:36:11Speaker 3: perfect throw. I mean, that's that's hard to watch, hard
- 2:36:15Speaker 3: to swallow. Again, We'll see what happens here. This game's
- 2:36:19Speaker 3: not over, but you gotta feel pretty depleted if you're
- 2:36:22Speaker 3: a if you're a Utah fan.
- 2:36:23Speaker 2: Right now, sideline, right now dead. We'll go down to
- 2:36:26Speaker 2: Sly after the kickoff here, Sly hang tight, Ohio State.
- 2:36:31Speaker 1: Will they pooch it again? Yep, they do. Short Coby's
- 2:36:35Speaker 1: gonna take it, you'll take it.
- 2:36:37Speaker 2: At the twenty five, stays on his feet outside, he goes,
- 2:36:41Speaker 2: look out forty Breton Covey thirty may get.
- 2:36:44Speaker 1: Forty three yard line and down he goes.
- 2:36:45Speaker 2: Good starting field positioned over Utah at their own forty
- 2:36:49Speaker 2: three yard line with four fourteen to play on a
- 2:36:53Speaker 2: drive where they need a touchdown and it will not
- 2:36:55Speaker 2: be cam Rise and it'll be Bryce and Barnes.
- 2:36:58Speaker 3: Yeah, mister Barnes, man got enough n tinnity here. And
- 2:37:05Speaker 3: I don't know that you can just maybe you can't.
- 2:37:07Speaker 3: Maybe you can just run the ball down the field
- 2:37:08Speaker 3: against Ohio State if you know, if you really really
- 2:37:12Speaker 3: have to. I mean, you had third and nine million
- 2:37:15Speaker 3: yards last time.
- 2:37:16Speaker 2: Here we go first and ten for the forty three,
- 2:37:18Speaker 2: Thomas behind Barnes, Ohio State and the neutral zone. Barnes
- 2:37:22Speaker 2: is gonna throw now he hands off and tab On
- 2:37:25Speaker 2: Thomas picks up two yards at the forty five. Think
- 2:37:28Speaker 2: Ohio State was in the neutral zone. No flag, so
- 2:37:31Speaker 2: second down and eight coming up.
- 2:37:34Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's just gonna come a time when mister
- 2:37:36Speaker 3: Barnes is gonna have to throw the ball somewhere somehow.
- 2:37:41Speaker 3: We'll see what happens here. But I just you know,
- 2:37:43Speaker 3: I don't know that you talk and run the ball
- 2:37:45Speaker 3: down the field here and score here in four minutes.
- 2:37:47Speaker 2: Ohio State's gonna sell out for the sure they are.
- 2:37:50Speaker 2: They got eight to nine near the line of scrimmage. Now,
- 2:37:52Speaker 2: Jumbo said, for Utah and second down at eight rice
- 2:37:57Speaker 2: and Barnes turns and gives tab On tom Us to
- 2:38:00Speaker 2: the outside. Taveon mets right at the line of scrimmage,
- 2:38:03Speaker 2: picks up two more and the clock continues to run
- 2:38:08Speaker 2: three twenty five, three twenty four, three twenty three to play.
- 2:38:12Speaker 2: You almost have to think, too, I want a time out,
- 2:38:15Speaker 2: now take it by Ohio State. Is it an injury timeout?
- 2:38:20Speaker 6: Please reset the game clock to three minutes twenty eight seconds,
- 2:38:23Speaker 6: so stop for an injury.
- 2:38:24Speaker 2: Three defensive end Zach Harrison goes down three twenty to play.
- 2:38:29Speaker 2: It'll be third down and six here for Utah and
- 2:38:32Speaker 2: Scott with the way the defense has played and how
- 2:38:35Speaker 2: much time has left, I don't care that you've got
- 2:38:37Speaker 2: three timeouts. This might have to be four down territory
- 2:38:39Speaker 2: for Utah. And you're right, I think Bryson Barnes is
- 2:38:42Speaker 2: going to have to throw the football.
- 2:38:43Speaker 3: Yeah, you almost like that last play. Maybe you just
- 2:38:47Speaker 3: bootleg him just to give him an easy throw, get
- 2:38:49Speaker 3: him out of the pocket, you know, something to make
- 2:38:52Speaker 3: a play because Ohio State's just dialed into this run,
- 2:38:55Speaker 3: and clearly you can see that that they've kind of
- 2:38:58Speaker 3: gained some confidence here this defense.
- 2:39:01Speaker 2: Plot now winding and running three twenty five, three twenty
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: four to play Utah thirty six at their own forty seven.
- 2:39:09Speaker 1: Barnes in the gun five wide. Look here for Utah.
- 2:39:12Speaker 2: Barnes takes the snap in back pedals, looks, looks, looks,
- 2:39:15Speaker 2: dumps over the middle clot and then a flag flies
- 2:39:17Speaker 2: out dropped. He tried to get it to Covey. That'll
- 2:39:19Speaker 2: be pass interference on Ohio State. Utah catches a break
- 2:39:24Speaker 2: that was right at the first down stick.
- 2:39:26Speaker 8: Pass interference defense of the twenty six. The ball replaced
- 2:39:31Speaker 8: at the spot of the foul with an automatic first down.
- 2:39:34Speaker 2: Cam Brown, one of the better corners on this team,
- 2:39:36Speaker 2: got a little handsy a little early, and Utah will
- 2:39:39Speaker 2: have first and ten at the Ohio State forty nine
- 2:39:41Speaker 2: yard line.
- 2:39:42Speaker 3: Looking the kid threw the ball with confidence and he
- 2:39:45Speaker 3: put it in the right spot there. I mean, yeah,
- 2:39:47Speaker 3: you have pass interference, but you've got to feel good
- 2:39:50Speaker 3: that he actually made a decent throw.
- 2:39:51Speaker 1: Two wide and two tights.
- 2:39:53Speaker 2: Tavon Thomas in Ohio State with eight now nine near
- 2:39:57Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, turning to give to Tavions straight ahead,
- 2:40:00Speaker 2: pushing the pile, but only picks up a yard to
- 2:40:03Speaker 2: the forty eight yard line. Plot continues to run as
- 2:40:06Speaker 2: we dip under three to play Ohio State forty five
- 2:40:09Speaker 2: Utah thirty eight. This game has turned and turned big
- 2:40:12Speaker 2: time here in the second half, and camp Rising, not playing,
- 2:40:16Speaker 2: was knocked out with a concussion on the last Utah drive.
- 2:40:20Speaker 2: So Bryson Barnes, the former walk on from Central Utah,
- 2:40:25Speaker 2: is being asked to play the role of hero.
- 2:40:27Speaker 3: Right here, run bootleg right here.
- 2:40:30Speaker 2: Pledger in the ball game, three wide, Barns in the shotgun.
- 2:40:35Speaker 2: Ohio State will rush five. Here they come Rice and
- 2:40:39Speaker 2: looking surveying, throwing outside Cott Covey and he got the
- 2:40:42Speaker 2: first down. Oh, no, marking a yard short. They marking
- 2:40:46Speaker 2: out of bounds at the Ohio State forty He's a
- 2:40:49Speaker 2: yard shy. Third down and one coming up, but he
- 2:40:52Speaker 2: did get out of bounds. Now they'll wind it. The
- 2:40:55Speaker 2: clock doesn't stop on an out of bounds till you're
- 2:40:57Speaker 2: inside of two minutes. Third and one, Barnes again, this
- 2:41:01Speaker 2: time a handoff. Nope, he's gonna keep it out on
- 2:41:03Speaker 2: the edge. Brice it to the thirty five thirty and
- 2:41:06Speaker 2: down he goes a first down for Utah and the
- 2:41:09Speaker 2: clock will stop with two thirteen to play as they
- 2:41:12Speaker 2: set the ball Utah the Ohio State thirty down a
- 2:41:15Speaker 2: touchdown first and ten Utah. Barnes in the gun. He'll
- 2:41:22Speaker 2: pass looking stepping, throwing loans, got a man out there,
- 2:41:27Speaker 2: pass interference at the five yard line, trying to get
- 2:41:30Speaker 2: that ball to concave. Utah will have it inside the
- 2:41:35Speaker 2: twenty yard line to the fifteen of Ohio State.
- 2:41:38Speaker 6: Passing appearance defense number fourteen fifteen yard hiway from the
- 2:41:43Speaker 6: previous spot includes an automatic first down.
- 2:41:45Speaker 1: He was a really good throw by Barnes.
- 2:41:47Speaker 3: Well it was really late. Actually, if he gets it
- 2:41:50Speaker 3: out there, he Kincaid has got his guy beat by
- 2:41:53Speaker 3: about ten yards if he gets the ball out there,
- 2:41:55Speaker 3: and that's just not experience. You got to put that
- 2:41:58Speaker 3: ball on a little bit of a line and it's
- 2:42:00Speaker 3: a touchdown right right right there. I mean, it's great
- 2:42:02Speaker 3: we got the first down, but that could have been
- 2:42:04Speaker 3: a touchdown.
- 2:42:04Speaker 2: First in ten Utah for the Ohio State fifteen Ki
- 2:42:07Speaker 2: Bryson Barnes engineer a comeback. He'll pass on first down again,
- 2:42:11Speaker 2: throw to the end zone.
- 2:42:12Speaker 7: Keithy out there, cod touchdown, touchdown, touchdown ket cave.
- 2:42:23Speaker 1: Now do you go for two?
- 2:42:27Speaker 3: How much time's left?
- 2:42:30Speaker 1: A minute fifty four?
- 2:42:33Speaker 8: Now?
- 2:42:34Speaker 3: Is you kick the extra point here? And then there's
- 2:42:36Speaker 3: too much time? I mean there was no time left.
- 2:42:38Speaker 3: You just go for the win.
- 2:42:39Speaker 1: But I want to throw by Barnes.
- 2:42:43Speaker 2: Kim Caid comes down with it and we're a pat
- 2:42:46Speaker 2: away from being tied at forty five. Good snap, could hold?
- 2:42:54Speaker 2: Reddings kick is up and good and would a benute?
- 2:42:57Speaker 2: Fifty four seconds to play, it's all forty five apiece.
- 2:43:01Speaker 2: Here at the Rose Bull won a drive by Bryson Barnes.
- 2:43:05Speaker 2: The walk on leads them down the field for a touchdown,
- 2:43:10Speaker 2: and we're tied at forty five. Six plays fifty seven
- 2:43:14Speaker 2: yards and the fifteen yard touchdown passed to Dalton Gentade.
- 2:43:19Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I can't even breathe right now, just
- 2:43:22Speaker 3: just insane. I think if you're a Utah fan, you
- 2:43:25Speaker 3: just like this game's over. Cam Rising's out, I mean,
- 2:43:28Speaker 3: it's done. And then Barnes comes in and and just
- 2:43:32Speaker 3: the more he played, the more you know he gotta throw.
- 2:43:35Speaker 3: He got a call in the pass interference and got
- 2:43:38Speaker 3: another and you know another play run. He runs the
- 2:43:40Speaker 3: ball and gets it first down, and all of a sudden,
- 2:43:42Speaker 3: you just start getting confidence. And he makes that first
- 2:43:44Speaker 3: throw to Kincaid, which wasn't good, and then he makes
- 2:43:46Speaker 3: the second one, which actually was good and gets a touchdown.
- 2:43:49Speaker 3: A great call by Andy Reid.
- 2:43:51Speaker 1: Or even Andy Ludwig.
- 2:43:53Speaker 2: Oh ye, Andy Reid would like that call too, because
- 2:43:57Speaker 2: he's got Travis Kelsey to throw that ball too.
- 2:44:00Speaker 3: Did I say, Andy Reid? Who the heck is Andy Reid?
- 2:44:03Speaker 2: Our fourth quarter being brought to you by Ivory Homes
- 2:44:05Speaker 2: Build your Ivory Holmes home field Advantage at ivoryhomes dot com.
- 2:44:09Speaker 1: That was a Pepsi touchdown.
- 2:44:11Speaker 2: Pepsi the official soft drink of Utah Athletics.
- 2:44:17Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Bill, you want to do something
- 2:44:19Speaker 3: right here? You run the on site the Ohio State. Look,
- 2:44:25Speaker 3: you're not going to stop them defensively, I don't think, okay,
- 2:44:29Speaker 3: and you you might as well take a shot if
- 2:44:33Speaker 3: it's there. Some teams that's there. I don't really watched
- 2:44:35Speaker 3: for it this game, but it is one of those
- 2:44:39Speaker 3: so unexpected in this moment place.
- 2:44:45Speaker 2: Utah forty five and Ohio State forty five. This is
- 2:44:49Speaker 2: a classic here at the granddaddy of them all. Today
- 2:44:53Speaker 2: Utah led this game by fourteen points on a number
- 2:44:57Speaker 2: of occasions, but all of a sudden high Io State
- 2:45:00Speaker 2: found their rhythm and CJ. Stroud showed everybody why he's
- 2:45:04Speaker 2: a Heisman finalist in Jackson Smith and Jigba, said Chris
- 2:45:08Speaker 2: Olave Garrett Wilson, I don't need you.
- 2:45:10Speaker 3: Thank you for leaving, thank you for leaving.
- 2:45:12Speaker 2: I'll take all of those passes, and he's made the
- 2:45:14Speaker 2: most of it here here today with three touchdowns and
- 2:45:18Speaker 2: nearly three hundred yards receiving. I'll check those numbers for
- 2:45:21Speaker 2: you in a moment. But you talk on the strength
- 2:45:25Speaker 2: to seventy seven, on the strength of the walk on
- 2:45:29Speaker 2: former walk on Bryson Barnes, not jack Quindon. Jackson marches
- 2:45:33Speaker 2: down the field sixty seven yards and scores a touchdown.
- 2:45:42Speaker 3: Goodness, what a.
- 2:45:43Speaker 1: Game we have here, Scott, what a game?
- 2:45:47Speaker 3: Oh? I just don't even know what to say. Seriously,
- 2:45:52Speaker 3: I've got this just I feel like I've I've watched
- 2:45:55Speaker 3: something out of the Twilight Zone, out of a dream here.
- 2:45:58Speaker 3: It's just it. I mean, if you want to come
- 2:46:01Speaker 3: to the Rose Bowl, this is this is one heck
- 2:46:04Speaker 3: of a game here for Utah. If you're a fan
- 2:46:06Speaker 3: of college football, I don't care you. You have been
- 2:46:09Speaker 3: thoroughly and entertained in this game.
- 2:46:11Speaker 1: Are you not entertained?
- 2:46:13Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, here we go.
- 2:46:16Speaker 2: Second half being brought to you by Smith, the official
- 2:46:18Speaker 2: brochure of Utah Athletics, Fresh for everyone. A mechag booka
- 2:46:23Speaker 2: back of his own two. Jordan Noise has a team
- 2:46:27Speaker 2: at the thirty five yard line. I think Ohio State's
- 2:46:30Speaker 2: got a few guys up now. They have six up
- 2:46:37Speaker 2: near and expecting an onside kick. Noise approaches, puts his
- 2:46:42Speaker 2: right foot into it. It's returnable. Meg Buka is gonna
- 2:46:45Speaker 2: take it at his own seven. It has a has
- 2:46:47Speaker 2: a steam coming forward. A mechag Buka to the outside
- 2:46:50Speaker 2: to the inside, has a lane teckled down at about
- 2:46:53Speaker 2: the forty.
- 2:46:54Speaker 1: Three yard line.
- 2:46:55Speaker 2: Utah's kick coverage has been abysmal today, just absolutely abysmal.
- 2:47:01Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham said it at halftime, and it's not gotten
- 2:47:04Speaker 2: any better here in the second half. Scout no man,
- 2:47:06Speaker 2: I'd almost like a squip kick. Just hammer it on
- 2:47:09Speaker 2: the ground all the way down, cross the timing off.
- 2:47:11Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a terrible kick. I mean, it's just like
- 2:47:14Speaker 3: teeing it up for you and just here, go, get go,
- 2:47:16Speaker 3: get the ball to forty yard line.
- 2:47:17Speaker 2: Ohio State with one time out remaining forty five forty
- 2:47:22Speaker 2: five first and ten from their own forty two Stroud
- 2:47:27Speaker 2: to pass flanker screen first down Smith, then Jigbuck has
- 2:47:31Speaker 2: it and down he goes in his own forty nine
- 2:47:33Speaker 2: yard line for a gain of six.
- 2:47:37Speaker 3: Yeah, they only got to get about twenty yards just
- 2:47:39Speaker 3: to kick a field goal.
- 2:47:40Speaker 8: Here.
- 2:47:42Speaker 2: You wonder when Utah starts to think about taking timeouts.
- 2:47:46Speaker 2: Second down in three, Stroud again in the shotgun hand
- 2:47:50Speaker 2: off straight ahead, this time through a hole to the
- 2:47:52Speaker 2: Utah forty four yard line, goes Henderson, and that'll be
- 2:47:57Speaker 2: a first down.
- 2:47:57Speaker 1: Clock continues to run. Here.
- 2:47:59Speaker 2: Now with a minute nineteen, they'll set the ball and
- 2:48:01Speaker 2: go in. Ohio State will just let this thing tick
- 2:48:04Speaker 2: a little bit. Time is on their side. Stroud to
- 2:48:11Speaker 2: pass four man, Rush throws it in the flat man
- 2:48:14Speaker 2: wide open in the flat out of bounds at the
- 2:48:16Speaker 2: Utah thirty six yard line. That was Treveon Henderson and
- 2:48:20Speaker 2: now they're on the edge of field goal range. Now
- 2:48:22Speaker 2: are the Buckeyes. But I don't think Ryan Day wants
- 2:48:25Speaker 2: to leave it in the hands of a kicker here
- 2:48:27Speaker 2: he love a touchdown. Well they got it stop with
- 2:48:31Speaker 2: a minute six to play in a first down.
- 2:48:32Speaker 3: Yeah, they got a kicker who's you know, pretty been
- 2:48:34Speaker 3: pretty consistent, doesn't have a great leg, but probably five
- 2:48:38Speaker 3: yards from his arrange.
- 2:48:41Speaker 2: Utah not bringing any pressure, just rushing for right now.
- 2:48:45Speaker 2: Stroud delaid hand off Henderson thirty twenty five and down
- 2:48:51Speaker 2: to the Utah twenty four yard line.
- 2:48:53Speaker 3: Then Utah switched up its front. They went to a
- 2:48:55Speaker 3: three man front there in that situation, thinking pass and
- 2:49:00Speaker 3: Ohio States kind of run the ball down the field
- 2:49:02Speaker 3: on him.
- 2:49:03Speaker 2: They'll set the ball and now wind the clock fifty six,
- 2:49:07Speaker 2: fifty five, fifty four. It's route operating out of the
- 2:49:12Speaker 2: shotgun on first and ten from the Utah twenty three
- 2:49:15Speaker 2: and a half. Takes the snap and back pedals, looking looking,
- 2:49:21Speaker 2: looking gonna roll out to his right, throw it there,
- 2:49:24Speaker 2: caught Jackson and jig but knock that abounds at the
- 2:49:28Speaker 2: Utah at eleven yard line. He is just feasted on
- 2:49:32Speaker 2: this Utah secondary today with thirty six seconds to play,
- 2:49:38Speaker 2: but guy's well within field goal range. Now you'd have
- 2:49:45Speaker 2: to think Ryan Days just gonna run the football here,
- 2:49:47Speaker 2: maybe center up in the middle of the field right
- 2:49:49Speaker 2: this point, I would think, so. Clock stopped at thirty
- 2:49:54Speaker 2: six to play. Stroud goes under center, two wides and
- 2:49:59Speaker 2: two tights, turns and gives it to the tailback. The
- 2:50:02Speaker 2: tailback Henderson bounces, shifts, gets down to the two yard line.
- 2:50:09Speaker 2: That'll be first in goal for Ohio State at the
- 2:50:11Speaker 2: Utah two. Clock never stopped though, Another're gonna market short,
- 2:50:19Speaker 2: about a half yard short. So the clock continues to run,
- 2:50:22Speaker 2: and Ohio State's just gonna let it go all the
- 2:50:24Speaker 2: way down right here. Time out finally taking here ty
- 2:50:28Speaker 2: Ohio State.
- 2:50:29Speaker 8: Ohio State. This is the third and final time out
- 2:50:32Speaker 8: of the half.
- 2:50:35Speaker 2: You kind of wonder why Ohio State took that time out,
- 2:50:40Speaker 2: stand up, run the play, and then center it. Things
- 2:50:43Speaker 2: not looking good now for Utah twelve seconds buck Eye's
- 2:50:47Speaker 2: on the doorstep here with twelve seconds to play at
- 2:50:51Speaker 2: the Utah two yard line. This game has been an
- 2:50:58Speaker 2: absolute strange, wild, crazy ride. It has seen so many
- 2:51:05Speaker 2: momentum ships back and forth, but this second half has
- 2:51:08Speaker 2: been really controlled by Ohio State.
- 2:51:11Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's been just an insane game here so far.
- 2:51:14Speaker 3: But you know, going back to your point about calling
- 2:51:17Speaker 3: a timeout in this situation, they get stopped right here.
- 2:51:22Speaker 3: It's third down. I guess they kill the clock on
- 2:51:26Speaker 3: third down and kick it on fourth.
- 2:51:27Speaker 1: I mean, but that's second down.
- 2:51:29Speaker 3: It's second down, right, But if they don't get the
- 2:51:30Speaker 3: first down, they're out of timeouts, right.
- 2:51:33Speaker 1: They'll just come up.
- 2:51:34Speaker 3: So they got they like it. They got to spike
- 2:51:35Speaker 3: the ball, you know, you hope that they understand that,
- 2:51:39Speaker 3: and they.
- 2:51:39Speaker 1: Brought the kicker out.
- 2:51:40Speaker 2: Ye, it's gonna be a twenty yard attempt for the
- 2:51:43Speaker 2: right hash here for Noah Ruggles, who's missed only once
- 2:51:47Speaker 2: this year. It's in essence a point after touchdown, twelve
- 2:51:52Speaker 2: seconds to play, where they come, kick is up and
- 2:52:00Speaker 2: the kick is good. Ohio State leads it forty eight
- 2:52:06Speaker 2: forty five with nine seconds to play. They trailed thirty
- 2:52:23Speaker 2: five twenty one at halftime, and they've outscored Utah here
- 2:52:28Speaker 2: in the second half twenty seven to ten. Nine seconds remained,
- 2:52:38Speaker 2: seven plays, fifty six yards a minute thirty eight off
- 2:52:41Speaker 2: the game clock. And again Utah just didn't show a
- 2:52:43Speaker 2: whole lot of resistance on that drive. Yeah, I mean,
- 2:52:49Speaker 2: it's amazing Scott having one position that one corner spot
- 2:52:54Speaker 2: not locked in.
- 2:52:55Speaker 1: How much that's thrown this defense off here today.
- 2:52:57Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just what I was going to say, is
- 2:52:59Speaker 3: you know, foot is a game of attrition, and you
- 2:53:04Speaker 3: you know, Ohio States had attrition. They just have more
- 2:53:08Speaker 3: better players in the backup position. I mean, really, I mean,
- 2:53:11Speaker 3: and that that's kind of what it is with some
- 2:53:13Speaker 3: of these big time programs. They just got they got,
- 2:53:15Speaker 3: they got guys to replace guys to replace guys that
- 2:53:18Speaker 3: are still really really good, and Utah just unfortunately just
- 2:53:22Speaker 3: didn't have that at the cornerback position.
- 2:53:25Speaker 2: Ruggles set to kick it with nine seconds remaining, Utah
- 2:53:28Speaker 2: has all three timeouts. I imagine this will be a squib. Nope,
- 2:53:32Speaker 2: it's a pooch kick. Wow, and Tubby's gonna take it.
- 2:53:38Speaker 2: Britain's got it looking, looking, looking, still looking and finally
- 2:53:44Speaker 2: take it down and is it a fumble? It is not,
- 2:53:51Speaker 2: but it is the ballgame. The ball game is over
- 2:53:55Speaker 2: on the kick. Ohio State in comfort behind fashion yeh
- 2:54:01Speaker 2: beats the University of Utah today here are the Rose
- 2:54:03Speaker 2: Bowl by a final score.
- 2:54:05Speaker 3: Of forty eight to forty five. Yeah, that's a that's
- 2:54:10Speaker 3: a hard pill to swallow. But man, I tell you what,
- 2:54:14Speaker 3: what a ballgame. And and to be short handed like that,
- 2:54:17Speaker 3: like Utah is really shorthanded, I mean unfair short I
- 2:54:20Speaker 3: mean really you have a you have a running back
- 2:54:22Speaker 3: playing corner. I mean that that that's just a tough
- 2:54:26Speaker 3: situation and then you know you can go. It's just
- 2:54:32Speaker 3: it's just a tough night. But to be here and
- 2:54:34Speaker 3: this this week has been incredible for this team to
- 2:54:37Speaker 3: get to the Rose Bowl and hopefully hopefully Utah can
- 2:54:41Speaker 3: look at this and go, you know what, we want
- 2:54:43Speaker 3: to come back here and there's just things we got
- 2:54:45Speaker 3: to figure out how to come back and win win
- 2:54:47Speaker 3: this game. And but you got you got to hand
- 2:54:50Speaker 3: it to this team just the resilience they've had all
- 2:54:52Speaker 3: year and all that they've they've gone through and what
- 2:54:55Speaker 3: what's happened. Maybe they should have stayed a little bit
- 2:54:57Speaker 3: more aggressive offensively in the second half because they just
- 2:55:00Speaker 3: kind of dialed it back a little bit. I don't know.
- 2:55:02Speaker 3: And the hope cam Rising's okay, but it's gonna hurt.
- 2:55:07Speaker 3: It is absolutely gonna hurt to see how Utah started
- 2:55:11Speaker 3: this game. It looked really good in the beginning and
- 2:55:13Speaker 3: then to lose it like they did. It's that's a
- 2:55:15Speaker 3: tough one.
- 2:55:16Speaker 2: Well, there were some words being exchanged by both teams.
- 2:55:19Speaker 2: They had to be separated. Now it's handshakes and the
- 2:55:22Speaker 2: Buck guys will celebrate and they'll get the Rose Bowl,
- 2:55:24Speaker 2: their ninth ever in their sixteenth appearance, and Utah will
- 2:55:29Speaker 2: head to the locker room, completing a great season, one
- 2:55:33Speaker 2: of the best seasons they've ever had, but not necessarily
- 2:55:37Speaker 2: the season they.
- 2:55:38Speaker 1: Wanted, which was a Rose Bowl championship.
