Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Utah fans.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome inside of Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
- 0:09Speaker 2: It's the PAC twelve championship game, Utah against Oregon for
- 0:12Speaker 2: a second time in thirteen days. So good to be
- 0:14Speaker 2: with you on Bill Riley, joined as always by Scott
- 0:16Speaker 2: Mitchell and Scott.
- 0:18Speaker 1: These two teams.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Met on the field of Rice Cycle Stadium thirteen days
- 0:22Speaker 2: ago in a game completely and totally dominated by the
- 0:25Speaker 2: University of Utah. It's probably too much to expect them
- 0:29Speaker 2: to do it again here tonight. But what's your thought
- 0:31Speaker 2: on this matchup for a second time in thirteen days.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Well, what I really like is the fact that the
- 0:35Speaker 3: two best teams in the PAC twelve are playing each
- 0:37Speaker 3: other for a championship. Utah in the south, Oregon in
- 0:40Speaker 3: the north. And it's the way it should be. You know,
- 0:43Speaker 3: no one backed into this, no one got sideways. These
- 0:46Speaker 3: are two teams very very much the same same DNA,
- 0:49Speaker 3: and you're just gonna see two teams that just are
- 0:51Speaker 3: gonna slug it out, you know, at the fifty yard line,
- 0:53Speaker 3: and that's what you want to see. I can't say
- 0:56Speaker 3: that the game will be different than it was, or
- 0:58Speaker 3: it won't. It's just, you know, that's what it's great
- 1:00Speaker 3: about football. But I'm telling you I would not be
- 1:03Speaker 3: surprised to see Utah play very well in this game tonight.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Third member of our broadcast team is Stevenson Sylvester. He's
- 1:08Speaker 2: downstairs on the sideline inside of what is a very
- 1:11Speaker 2: red Allegiance stadium slide. What have you got on the
- 1:13Speaker 2: sideline tonight?
- 1:14Speaker 4: This is a beautiful stadium bill, This is awesome. The crowd,
- 1:18Speaker 4: it feels like a home game for Utah right now.
- 1:21Speaker 4: It's a sea of red. But as I was in
- 1:23Speaker 4: the locker room before the game, I heard Coach Witt
- 1:26Speaker 4: maybe say fifty plus times, and I was on the
- 1:28Speaker 4: end over ten minutes. Fifty plus time. Physicality, physicality, physicality.
- 1:33Speaker 4: He is trying to beat that into these guys head.
- 1:35Speaker 4: So that is the go ahead notion of this football.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Games got the last time they met in the Pac
- 1:40Speaker 2: twelve Championship game, physicality was on the side of the
- 1:43Speaker 2: Oregon Ducks. That's why that message is being driven in
- 1:46Speaker 2: right now by Kyle Winighan.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Oh, there's no question. I mean Oregon put it to
- 1:49Speaker 3: Utah a couple of years ago. They wanted the game more.
- 1:52Speaker 3: I think Utah was actually the better team two years ago,
- 1:56Speaker 3: but Utah got out of sorts. You know, the game
- 1:59Speaker 3: was bigger than the program, and they just didn't answer
- 2:02Speaker 3: to the momentum and how tough that Oregon was early on.
- 2:07Speaker 3: But I think this is a mature team. This is
- 2:11Speaker 3: a team that knows that and they know that they've
- 2:13Speaker 3: got to just do their job and not get too
- 2:15Speaker 3: overhyped by the bigness of what's going on here.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Oregon won the toss. They've elected to defer to the
- 2:21Speaker 2: second half. Britton Covey will attempt to return the kickoff
- 2:24Speaker 2: by Camden Lewis. This stadium is seventy five percent read
- 2:31Speaker 2: right now, as the Utah fans if descended upon Salt
- 2:34Speaker 2: Lake City, Utah is sixty minutes away from a PAC
- 2:37Speaker 2: twelve championship and a trip to Pasadena and the Rose
- 2:41Speaker 2: Bowl on January the first. So good to be with
- 2:44Speaker 2: you on this Friday night from Las Vegas, Bill Riley,
- 2:46Speaker 2: Scott Mitchell, and our entire crew. Lewis approaches, puts his
- 2:50Speaker 2: right foot into it, drives it high and end over end,
- 2:53Speaker 2: and Cobby will bring it out a yard deep. Britain Covey.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Britain's got it to the outside. He's got the twenty
- 2:58Speaker 2: bouncing to the outside. Twenty five, turns the corner, wins
- 3:01Speaker 2: back inside thirty five and down into thirty eight yard line.
- 3:04Speaker 2: A thirty eight yard return on the opening kickoff by Britton,
- 3:07Speaker 2: Covey and Utah starts a great field position.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's those little moments like that, when you
- 3:12Speaker 3: get a big return you set up the offense to
- 3:14Speaker 3: begin with. You like to see Covey getting around the edgear.
- 3:18Speaker 3: I mean, he is such a such a difference maker
- 3:21Speaker 3: in this game, and he's already proven that. In the
- 3:23Speaker 3: very first play of the.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Game, thirty nine yard return first and ten, Utah McKay
- 3:27Speaker 2: Bernard begins as the tailback tonight is Cam Rising leads
- 3:31Speaker 2: out the utes against Kaevon Thibodeau and the Oregon defense.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Cam will operate in the shotgun now five wide look.
- 3:40Speaker 2: On first down from the Utah thirty nine, they'll motion
- 3:44Speaker 2: Covey across the formation. Rising is gonna pass fires outside.
- 3:47Speaker 2: It's caught. He's got the von Veley for a short
- 3:50Speaker 2: gain of five yards to the forty four yard line.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Usher down a bounds quickly right they're good gain on
- 3:56Speaker 2: first down.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's an interesting departure from Utah. Utah
- 4:00Speaker 3: played in Salt Lake City. It was the passing game
- 4:04Speaker 3: that really got the running game going. And Oregon put
- 4:06Speaker 3: eight guys up in line of scrimmage in Utah threw.
- 4:08Speaker 1: The ball second down in five.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Tavy On Thomas checks in the ball game, two tight ends,
- 4:13Speaker 2: two wide receivers for Utah. Oregon was six now seven
- 4:17Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage, motioned them across the formation,
- 4:20Speaker 2: handoff Tavion Thomas to the forty five and that's it.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Stacked up and dropped right there. Oregon's defense ready for
- 4:27Speaker 2: at that time. Jordan Happle, the strong safety, came up
- 4:31Speaker 2: to make the tackle that'll bring up third down at
- 4:33Speaker 2: about four yards to go for Utah. I told you
- 4:35Speaker 2: in the free games got and you knew Oregon would
- 4:37Speaker 2: sell out to stop that run.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Oh. I don't think there's any question about that. Utah
- 4:40Speaker 3: is a very heavy run team. On second down, the
- 4:42Speaker 3: cutback lane was there. You know, Tabon got to see that.
- 4:46Speaker 3: That was their last game too when Utah played. But
- 4:48Speaker 3: it's a thirdy managemble here.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Third down in four for Utah. They're converting at a
- 4:52Speaker 2: high rate. Pledger of the ball game. They've got to
- 4:55Speaker 2: get to their own forty nine for a first down.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Hand off, Cam Rise keeps it straight ahead. He's gonna
- 5:01Speaker 2: be about a yard shy, a first down yardagch he
- 5:04Speaker 2: gets to the forty eight yard line on the quarterback
- 5:06Speaker 2: keeper maybe about a half yard shin. Now, what does
- 5:08Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham do on fourth and short? I almost feel
- 5:11Speaker 2: like by making that call, you're gonna go for it.
- 5:13Speaker 2: They are gonna be fourth down at about half a
- 5:16Speaker 2: yard here for Utah Thomas back at the ball game, It's.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Almost like that call on third down was one to say, hey,
- 5:22Speaker 3: we're short and close. We'll probably go for it on fourth.
- 5:24Speaker 3: But you gotta look for tav On Thomas in this situation.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Big moment here for the Utah offense. Fourth and short.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Here Rising goes under center three tight end. Look here
- 5:34Speaker 2: for Utah Oregon with ten in the box, quarterback sneak
- 5:38Speaker 2: Rising pushing the pile. I think they're gonna give you
- 5:40Speaker 2: the progress to about the forty nine and a half
- 5:43Speaker 2: yard line.
- 5:44Speaker 1: They do, it's gonna be a first down for Utah.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of years ago when Utah played Oregon,
- 5:48Speaker 3: They've got in this very same situation. First drive of
- 5:51Speaker 3: the game, they got in a third down, they didn't
- 5:53Speaker 3: convert it. They got in the fourth and they didn't
- 5:55Speaker 3: convert it, and it really changed the game. But it's
- 5:57Speaker 3: these converting the downs that's where really breaks the team
- 6:01Speaker 3: and really makes things happen for you. That's a big
- 6:03Speaker 3: conversion here at the fifty yard.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Line, Right at the fifty yard line. First in ten,
- 6:07Speaker 2: Utah opening driving a ball game, twelve and a half
- 6:09Speaker 2: to play here, the first quarter is scoreless. Tab On Thomas,
- 6:13Speaker 2: two tight ends and two wide receivers here for Utah.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Rising in the gun throws the incut pass. It it's complete.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Solomoninas grabs it at the Oregon thirty eight yard line,
- 6:25Speaker 2: a twelve yard gaining a first mile first down in
- 6:27Speaker 2: a great throw by Rising.
- 6:28Speaker 3: That actually looked a little bit like Oregon, you know,
- 6:31Speaker 3: a little quick play action there, but an excellent catch
- 6:34Speaker 3: by Solomon Inas too. This falls a little bit a
- 6:36Speaker 3: little bit low. He gets it up a little bit higher.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Solomon may be able to run further, but Oregon selling
- 6:41Speaker 3: out to the run. So that quick play action, it's
- 6:43Speaker 3: a great call by Andy Well.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Ludwig, but Kai Bernard in the ball game next to Rising,
- 6:48Speaker 2: Maley right, Britten Cubby left in two tight ends on
- 6:51Speaker 2: first in ten. They motioned Bernard out of the backfield,
- 6:53Speaker 2: wheel round, looking down the field, throwing down the field,
- 6:56Speaker 2: Cubby twenty five, back inside to the twenty, Covey to
- 6:59Speaker 2: the fifteen yard line and cut down right there. Britton
- 7:02Speaker 2: Covey a twenty two yard pitch and catch. Mkale Wright
- 7:07Speaker 2: made the stop and it's into the red zone for
- 7:10Speaker 2: Utah for the first time to night at the Oregon
- 7:11Speaker 2: fifteen yard line.
- 7:12Speaker 3: And we talked about McKay Bernard and he went out
- 7:14Speaker 3: of the backfield as a receiver and shot up the sideline.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Oregon read it, and then that little short underneath zone
- 7:21Speaker 3: where Covey came was wide open. A great play. I
- 7:23Speaker 3: loved that play. And then Covey does a great job
- 7:25Speaker 3: after to get some extra yard.
- 7:27Speaker 2: First and ten from the Duck fifteen yard line, Rising
- 7:30Speaker 2: with a pistol formation pledger behind it. Covey across the
- 7:34Speaker 2: formation in motion again, Rising brings him back again. We're
- 7:37Speaker 2: gonna keep Cam out on the edge. Cam tried to
- 7:40Speaker 2: get to the fifteen and wrapped up and take it
- 7:41Speaker 2: down at the seventeen yard line. Good later of pursuit
- 7:45Speaker 2: by Noah Sooule, two yard loss for Cam Rising.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Second down in twelve coming up.
- 7:49Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was a big play for Utah in
- 7:51Speaker 3: the first game. You remember that quarterback. It's almost a
- 7:53Speaker 3: quarterback sweep and they try to seal that edge. But uh,
- 7:57Speaker 3: Oregon saw that play a lot and they were ready
- 7:59Speaker 3: for that one.
- 8:00Speaker 2: So second down in twelve is Noahsule makes it to
- 8:02Speaker 2: tackle his brother need by his parents on hand, wearing
- 8:05Speaker 2: the split Utah and Oregon jerseys tonight for the Dutch
- 8:09Speaker 2: seventeen yard line opening drive. Eleven minutes to play. Here
- 8:13Speaker 2: the first quarter in scoreless, Bernard stays in the ball game.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Three wide receivers of the left hand side for Rising,
- 8:18Speaker 2: who will pass lots of time for Cam over.
- 8:20Speaker 1: The middle, caught and dropped.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Cole Fotheringham was running with it before
- 8:29Speaker 2: he had it, and that'll go incomplete and bring up
- 8:32Speaker 2: third down and long.
- 8:32Speaker 1: He's got to catch that ball.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this was a design a design delay, yeah,
- 8:36Speaker 3: because he's gonna he's certainly looking before he runs with
- 8:39Speaker 3: the ball. There, he's turning and just doesn't secure the ball,
- 8:43Speaker 3: but it's gonna make it a short third and down.
- 8:45Speaker 3: And now you got third down, and now you got
- 8:46Speaker 3: this third and long situation.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Here, got to get to the Oregon five for a
- 8:50Speaker 2: first down. Utah zero for one on third down four wide.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Look here pledgure in the ballgame. Oregon's showing pressure on
- 8:58Speaker 2: the edge. Here they come rising, throwing the fade to
- 9:01Speaker 2: the end zone, up and incomplete flagplies pass interference on Organ.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Utah is gonna have it perst and goal.
- 9:07Speaker 2: They were gunning for Jalen Dixon and that's gonna be
- 9:09Speaker 2: a PI on Organ.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Yeah, Jalen Dixon, he's a fast player. Here, got press
- 9:15Speaker 3: coverage with a single high safety. It's almost automatic. And
- 9:18Speaker 3: uh yeah, the dv's just just all over the two
- 9:22Speaker 3: yard line.
- 9:23Speaker 5: I'm not a first down.
- 9:24Speaker 2: So it's a first and goal for Utah at the
- 9:26Speaker 2: two yard line. Now that pass interference occurred in the
- 9:29Speaker 2: end zone, so they move into the two yard line.
- 9:31Speaker 2: First and goal for Utah, and see we get a
- 9:34Speaker 2: heavy dose of taby on Tomas.
- 9:35Speaker 3: I like that last play, but I just get a
- 9:37Speaker 3: bigger player, you know, because Jalen Dixon is a short guy.
- 9:40Speaker 3: But I gotta believe right here, tav On Thomas, You're
- 9:43Speaker 3: going to see a heavy dose of him.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Eighteen touchdowns on the season for tavy On Thomas. Three
- 9:47Speaker 2: the last time these two teams got together, heavy set,
- 9:51Speaker 2: three tight ends, Baylay the wide receiver. Now they shift
- 9:54Speaker 2: personnel around the formation, first and goal for the two
- 9:57Speaker 2: yard line turn and a gift tab On Thomas end zone,
- 10:01Speaker 2: untouched touchdown Ta beyond Thomas into the end zone, and
- 10:05Speaker 2: Utah strikes first on a Friday night here against the
- 10:08Speaker 2: Oregon Ducks. A clinical drive down the field by Utah,
- 10:13Speaker 2: carving up this deepense and in from two yards after
- 10:16Speaker 2: the nineteenth time this year, goes tavy On Thomas.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Man, what you have is you've got a well balanced drive.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I mean, this Utah team is deep. They got a
- 10:23Speaker 3: lot of people that can beat. You had Covey, you
- 10:25Speaker 3: had Solomon Edis, you had tav On Thomas, and you've
- 10:29Speaker 3: got a lot of people involved in Cam Rising. Cam
- 10:31Speaker 3: Rising was just very effective in that drive. But that
- 10:33Speaker 3: was a that was a mac truck hole there for
- 10:35Speaker 3: the for Tavan to go through.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Pat by Jaydon Lenning is up and it's good that
- 10:40Speaker 2: Pepsi touchdown for tavy On Thomas's nineteenth on the year.
- 10:44Speaker 2: What an opening drive, What a statement drive for Utah
- 10:47Speaker 2: to begin things here tonight in Las Vegas. Ten forty
- 10:50Speaker 2: seven to play here the first quarter you toss seven
- 10:53Speaker 2: in Oregon. Nothing. This is Utah football from their field.
- 10:56Speaker 2: That scoring drive, a Pepsi touchdown, scoring drive, nine plays,
- 11:00Speaker 2: sixty one yards tavie On Thomas from two yards at
- 11:03Speaker 2: four zero three off the game clock. Are first, happy
- 11:06Speaker 2: and brought to you by bud Light, proudly welcoming the
- 11:08Speaker 2: utes back to Rice Eckels and to Allegiance Stadium this year,
- 11:12Speaker 2: bud Light, what a drive, Scott. I don't know that
- 11:14Speaker 2: Andy Ludwig could have dialed up a better drive. And
- 11:16Speaker 2: you said it at the break. Oregon didn't play bad.
- 11:19Speaker 3: No, they really didn't. I mean they're very aggressive, they
- 11:21Speaker 3: were staying in their lanes. It was just better execution.
- 11:24Speaker 3: I mean they bailed Utah out on that third down
- 11:26Speaker 3: on the goal line. But yeah, Cam Rising went to
- 11:29Speaker 3: the right guy, and you know, maybe there's not past interference.
- 11:32Speaker 3: He cats a touchdown pass, so who knows, but it
- 11:34Speaker 3: looks like Utah is not necessarily selling out to the run.
- 11:38Speaker 3: They're using the run to their favor on early downs.
- 11:40Speaker 3: A lot of quick play actions, a lot of quick,
- 11:42Speaker 3: high percentage throws on first down to kind of soften
- 11:46Speaker 3: up this Oregon defense because you know Oregon's going to
- 11:48Speaker 3: just say, we are going to try to stop you
- 11:49Speaker 3: running the ball tonight.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Put up a strong immunity defense with dough Tara on guard.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Dough Tara pursue what's pure. That opening drive was pure
- 11:57Speaker 2: for Utah. Now I'll get to look at the Utah
- 11:59Speaker 2: defense coming out here. Make sure the Utah special teams
- 12:03Speaker 2: covers this kick, because the one thing that Oregon will do,
- 12:05Speaker 2: they'll run kicks back. They do not hesitate to do it.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Seven McGee, the deep man here along with McHale Wright
- 12:16Speaker 2: Jordan Noise has it teed up in his own thirty
- 12:18Speaker 2: five yard line. Great crowd here tonight at Allegiant Stadium.
- 12:21Speaker 2: I would tell you it's probably seventy percent read in
- 12:24Speaker 2: this stadium right now in a near sellout. Utah fans
- 12:28Speaker 2: have descended upon Vegas in a big, big way.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're the Pac twelve, you got to be
- 12:32Speaker 3: happy about this. This location.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Noise is ready to go. McGee and right back Deep.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Noise's kick is a line drive kick, skips up. McGee
- 12:41Speaker 2: takes it at about the seven yard line. Seven McGhee
- 12:44Speaker 2: wrapped up. Oh, He breaks out of a tackle and
- 12:46Speaker 2: then gets out to about the twenty six yard line
- 12:48Speaker 2: for a gain of we'll talking about nineteen yards. They're
- 12:51Speaker 2: not taking any chances. They're not at altitude here, and
- 12:54Speaker 2: you're not having any breeze at your back, So Oregon
- 12:56Speaker 2: will have a seventy four yard field in front of it.
- 12:59Speaker 1: We'll get a look at Anthony a really good.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Week last week's got against Oregon State, just okay against Utah.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think if you're Oregon, you want to
- 13:06Speaker 3: get your quarterback going. So I would be really shocked
- 13:10Speaker 3: if Oregan doesn't do the RPO stuff. A little quick
- 13:13Speaker 3: play action kind of look a little bit what Utah
- 13:15Speaker 3: looked like.
- 13:16Speaker 2: A first drive, three wide receivers, tight end and Travis
- 13:19Speaker 2: Dye the back of the backfield here with Anthony Brown.
- 13:24Speaker 2: You though, shifting defense in personnel to the near sideline,
- 13:28Speaker 2: Brown operating out of the shotgun, Die.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Next to him.
- 13:32Speaker 2: First down RPO action to the outside flags fly. They
- 13:36Speaker 2: wrap up Brown after about a one yard gain that
- 13:39Speaker 2: may have been an illegal formation or do they get
- 13:41Speaker 2: an offide Hope they'renna get it offide against Here's.
- 13:43Speaker 6: Sixty to the defense lining up in the neutral zone
- 13:46Speaker 6: five yard pedal.
- 13:47Speaker 3: League first out.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Why would Safia Vaughan, who's a cornerback, ever be in
- 13:51Speaker 2: the neutral zone. Well, that's the ultimate press covery.
- 13:53Speaker 3: He's right, yeah, can't getting closer and press coverage and
- 13:56Speaker 3: right on the guy. But you're right, you're right there
- 13:58Speaker 3: by the official. He should you know where you're lining up?
- 14:01Speaker 1: All right?
- 14:01Speaker 2: Second down in five. That initial run wasn't going for anything,
- 14:04Speaker 2: but they'll get five Brown and die in the backfield again,
- 14:08Speaker 2: three wide on the right hand side.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Again.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Here for Anthony Brown on second down in five, Utah
- 14:12Speaker 2: with four up front, hand off straight ahead, die, he'll
- 14:15Speaker 2: push the pile and pick up about three to.
- 14:19Speaker 1: The twenty nine yard line.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Tackle on the play by Cole Bishop playing that strong
- 14:24Speaker 2: safety rover position for Utah will bring up second down in.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Two and Oregon's putting three guys on one side and
- 14:30Speaker 3: then a tight end on the other. And then they're
- 14:32Speaker 3: running the ball with the quarterback and die to that
- 14:34Speaker 3: tight end side who puts a lot of pressure on
- 14:36Speaker 3: the defense.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Punch formation to the right hand side. On second down
- 14:40Speaker 2: in two, they'll motion the tight end Machta Val to
- 14:44Speaker 2: the left hand side, hand off again to die Die
- 14:47Speaker 2: in the hole. He'll have first down yard is but
- 14:49Speaker 2: not much more. Now to about the thirty three yard
- 14:52Speaker 2: line for a gain of four. That'll be a first
- 14:54Speaker 2: down for Oregon. Devin Lloyd made the tackle on the play,
- 14:57Speaker 2: and Utah's offside got a benefited organ time.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Well, and you have three plays and Oregon's run the ball.
- 15:03Speaker 3: This is Oregon. We're gonna we're gonna establish the running game.
- 15:06Speaker 3: We're gonna try to run the ball on you. That's
- 15:08Speaker 3: what they're doing right here, early empty backfield.
- 15:10Speaker 2: This time as Brown stands by himself, always got to
- 15:12Speaker 2: be aware of the quarterback keeper five wide. Look here,
- 15:15Speaker 2: now they'll motion Die across the formation to the right
- 15:18Speaker 2: hand side of Brown. Low snap, it goes rolling back
- 15:20Speaker 2: to Anthony Brown. He's gonna throw it long down the field.
- 15:23Speaker 2: He's got a man out there and incomplete. He was
- 15:26Speaker 2: trying to get that ball to Hudson. He threw it badly.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Hudson was open, threw it behind him and out of bounds,
- 15:32Speaker 2: and that ball went rolling back. I don't think he
- 15:33Speaker 2: was ready for the snap either. Alex Forsyth.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Well, Von Fellinger got in and kind of got pressure
- 15:38Speaker 3: on him and hit him right as he threw it. Yeah,
- 15:41Speaker 3: you have to wonder if the crowd noise has any impact.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Maybe Oregon didn't think there would be in this game.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Second down in ten from their own thirty three for
- 15:49Speaker 2: the Ducks on their opening drive here the first quarter,
- 15:51Speaker 2: seven to nothing, Utah again, an empty backfield for Anthony Brown.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Now they'll bring Die into the backfield again and they'll
- 15:58Speaker 2: hand it off to Die. Nope, Brown's gonna keep it
- 16:02Speaker 2: and he picks up two yards after about the thirty
- 16:05Speaker 2: nine yard line. Not much running room there for Anthony
- 16:08Speaker 2: Brown brings up third down and long. And this is
- 16:10Speaker 2: what Utah did to him in the first game, Scott.
- 16:12Speaker 2: They kept him in third down and long.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Yeah. And if you're Utah, you gotta fee pretty good
- 16:16Speaker 3: because guys are staying in their gap. They're playing very,
- 16:19Speaker 3: very sound up front here, not giving Oregon a lot
- 16:21Speaker 3: of space to run.
- 16:23Speaker 2: First third down, second third down of the night, first
- 16:25Speaker 2: third down of the night, Third down and nine, Brown
- 16:29Speaker 2: by himself and the gun brings Die back in. Utah's
- 16:32Speaker 2: gonna rush four here they come coverage behind, pressure off
- 16:36Speaker 2: the edge on Brown, dumps it off to die and
- 16:38Speaker 2: guy's not gonna get there. He picks up three yards
- 16:41Speaker 2: to the forty three and that's it. Fourth down coming
- 16:43Speaker 2: up here for the Ducks. Again, pressure off the edge.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Brandon McKinney made the tackle, but Utah got to Brown
- 16:49Speaker 2: and he had to just dump it off to his
- 16:51Speaker 2: man that was in the flat.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:52Speaker 3: See Brown was seeing ghosts there, courting to Zamle. He
- 16:55Speaker 3: really was. He could have stayed in the pocket there,
- 16:57Speaker 3: and but he got nervous early. That's a great sign
- 17:00Speaker 3: for Utah.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Right here, put team comes down on fourth down and
- 17:02Speaker 2: six for the Ducks.
- 17:04Speaker 5: Covey stands in his own twenty five.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Utah being very aware of the fake right here, Tom
- 17:12Speaker 2: sneeze kick is away and it's a good one. It's
- 17:14Speaker 2: a high hanging kickcove He's gonna backpedal and take it.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Make a man miss, makes another man miss, ten to
- 17:20Speaker 2: fifteen to sixteen, and then there's a flag that comes
- 17:22Speaker 2: flying in. Face mask. I think we're gonna get a
- 17:25Speaker 2: base mask here against the Oregon Ducks.
- 17:27Speaker 3: We'll see you look at Covey's reaction there it looks
- 17:30Speaker 3: like it, But what a lot of courage by Britton Covey.
- 17:32Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a guy in his face, and
- 17:35Speaker 3: that's such a field of changing position right there. Most
- 17:38Speaker 3: guys are gonna fair catch it right there. He makes
- 17:41Speaker 3: the guy miss.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Here's the call from our referee and then the return personal.
- 17:45Speaker 5: Cell face mask kicking team number zero, fifteen yards from
- 17:49Speaker 5: the end of the run. First down, time out on
- 17:52Speaker 5: the field.
- 17:53Speaker 2: DJ James grab the face mask forty nine yard putt
- 17:56Speaker 2: nine yard return. Britain Covey told me this week, Scott,
- 17:59Speaker 2: I'm not fair catch it.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Ever again he didn't there and it benefited Utah.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Time out on the field from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
- 18:08Speaker 2: This is PAC twelve Championship Football UTAH seven in Oregon.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Nothing Utah Football from their field back inside the Big
- 18:15Speaker 2: O Tires Broadcast Booth seven, Nothing Utah as we play
- 18:19Speaker 2: here at the first quarter at Allegiant Stadium. Let's go
- 18:21Speaker 2: downstairs to slide sly.
- 18:23Speaker 3: What do you have.
- 18:23Speaker 4: It's a great defensive series. Besides the off side, the
- 18:27Speaker 4: defense handled it. Three and outs is going to be
- 18:29Speaker 4: the tall tales story of his game back in time possession. Well,
- 18:33Speaker 4: for this offense, he was an amazing first drive. They
- 18:35Speaker 4: had a great mix of running pass, But I think
- 18:38Speaker 4: they see something against cornerback Michael Wright, the.
- 18:40Speaker 7: Left corner for Oregon.
- 18:42Speaker 4: They've targeted you multiple times on that first drive and
- 18:45Speaker 4: found success on that PI and then the deep pass
- 18:48Speaker 4: the Solomon Inez and of course the run game.
- 18:51Speaker 7: So keep an eye on that as the game proceeds.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Slash thank you. Seven fifty one to play here the
- 18:57Speaker 1: first quarter.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Utah second possession, they win sixty one yards on their
- 19:01Speaker 2: first They'll get good starting field position again thanks to
- 19:04Speaker 2: the base mask by the Oregon Ducks on Britain Covey.
- 19:06Speaker 2: They'll begin first inten at their own thirty two yard line.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Cam Rising brings the offense back out again.
- 19:11Speaker 1: TJ.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Pledger will join him the tight end in three wide receivers.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Now for Utah, Cam out of the gun. Oregon was
- 19:24Speaker 2: six near the line of scrimmage. They motioned Covey around.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Now the snap back and they handed off to TJ.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Pledger across the forty to about or thirty five to
- 19:34Speaker 2: the thirty seven. But a flag flies. I think we're
- 19:35Speaker 2: gonna get a hold here on Utah. I think they're
- 19:38Speaker 2: gonna get Nick Ford the center too. That was a
- 19:40Speaker 2: good five yard game by Pledger, holding.
- 19:43Speaker 6: Offense number fifty five, ten yards from the previous spot.
- 19:46Speaker 5: First out.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Nick Ford disagrees with the call, but it's gonna be
- 19:52Speaker 2: ten yards nonetheless here on Utah and first and ten
- 19:55Speaker 2: becomes first in twenty here for the use back in
- 19:57Speaker 2: their own twenty two yard line.
- 19:59Speaker 3: No, that's not a whole. The problem is is that
- 20:01Speaker 3: the Oregon defender just goes down to the ground. I mean,
- 20:04Speaker 3: Nick gets in front of him, positions him well, and
- 20:07Speaker 3: sometimes the official just sees that last bit of action
- 20:10Speaker 3: the guy going to the ground. But that was not
- 20:12Speaker 3: a hold.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Vyle of Covey, the wide receivers Keithy and bothering him
- 20:21Speaker 2: and Pledgers split wide did the right Cam's gonna pass
- 20:23Speaker 2: on first and twenty lots of time stepping up throwing
- 20:26Speaker 2: across the middle. Pot looks like he had Covey on
- 20:29Speaker 2: that play after about the thirty four yard line, so
- 20:31Speaker 2: they pick up twelve that they lost second down and
- 20:34Speaker 2: eight coming up here for Utah.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Good throw by Cam, better catch by Covey.
- 20:37Speaker 3: Yeah, and good awareness. You know, Cam a lot of
- 20:39Speaker 3: times we'll talk the ball and just run, but he
- 20:42Speaker 3: has enough presence to see Covey. You're in the two
- 20:44Speaker 3: deep zone. He steps up in the pocket and there
- 20:46Speaker 3: Covey just comes open late. Great job by Cam and
- 20:49Speaker 3: that puts him back in a manageable situation. You know,
- 20:52Speaker 3: is as opposed to to third and long.
- 20:55Speaker 1: They've thrown for fifty three already. Hear the ball game.
- 20:57Speaker 2: The second down an eight, Cam goes under center, tights
- 21:00Speaker 2: two wides and Tabyon Thomas and the ballgame Oregon's selling
- 21:04Speaker 2: out for the run. Right now, turn and a give
- 21:07Speaker 2: taby On Thomas straight through the hole. Stays on his feet,
- 21:10Speaker 2: almost lost in the football when he gets out to
- 21:12Speaker 2: about the thirty nine yard line for a gain of
- 21:16Speaker 2: we're calling about five yards. Funa and McKinley were ripping
- 21:19Speaker 2: at that football but couldn't get it away from him.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Third down at about three coming up here for Utah.
- 21:24Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's where Utah runs the ball fast against
- 21:27Speaker 3: Arizona or Oregon. Is just those straight ahead runs.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Tempo down for Utah.
- 21:32Speaker 2: They don't huddle three wide receivers right Tavyan stays at
- 21:35Speaker 2: the ball game, and what do we have?
- 21:37Speaker 1: A flag flies and we're gonna have movement.
- 21:39Speaker 6: We'll start offense number seventy eight, five yard penalty third down.
- 21:45Speaker 2: That's the danger of going fast. Nobody got set that
- 21:48Speaker 2: time in Laumeya whistled for the procedure call. So third
- 21:51Speaker 2: and very manageable third down and three becomes third down
- 21:53Speaker 2: and eight now for Utah.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Yeah, and Utah kind of outwitted itself there. They were
- 21:57Speaker 3: trying to go quick get an Oregon, but they they
- 22:00Speaker 3: were just just a little bit out of sync in that.
- 22:02Speaker 3: In that whole exchange.
- 22:04Speaker 2: There the Kai Bernard checks in the ball game tab
- 22:06Speaker 2: on Thomas checks out here, Utah oh for one on
- 22:12Speaker 2: third down, got to get to the forty two for
- 22:14Speaker 2: a first down, third down and eight rising in the
- 22:17Speaker 2: gun Oregon showing pressure motion across the formation, rising back pedals.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Oregon drops. He throws long down the field and overshoots
- 22:28Speaker 2: his man. He was trying to get Britain Covey at
- 22:30Speaker 2: about the thirty five of Oregon over shot him. Got
- 22:32Speaker 2: to bring up fourth down here for Utah, Jamal Hill
- 22:35Speaker 2: had the coverage. Brittain just wasn't quite fast enough and
- 22:38Speaker 2: Cam over shot him.
- 22:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that was You've got You've got all the field
- 22:42Speaker 3: in front of you. You've got a fast guy in Covey,
- 22:44Speaker 3: but he can't can't catch up to a fastball going
- 22:48Speaker 3: across the field. You got to put some are under that.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Seven McGee back to return This punt for the Oregon
- 22:54Speaker 2: Ducks Utah has been an adventure punting it. Williams gets
- 22:58Speaker 2: it away, pretty good kick away. The man hits it.
- 23:01Speaker 2: The twenty checks up and we'll be taken at about
- 23:03Speaker 2: the fifteen and he falls down right there at the
- 23:06Speaker 2: sixteen yard line. Seven McGee trying to cut back and
- 23:09Speaker 2: lost his footing and he'll go down at the fifteen
- 23:11Speaker 2: yard line to an eighty five yard field here.
- 23:14Speaker 1: When we get back, it's the timeouts tonight.
- 23:16Speaker 2: It's a big game, so ABC's gonna squeeze them all in.
- 23:19Speaker 2: We'll take it with him five point thirty two to

- 23:56Speaker 2: You toss seven in Oregon, nothing Dougs have at first
- 24:01Speaker 2: and ten at their own fifteen yard line. You wonder
- 24:03Speaker 2: if they're maybe gonna try and loosen this thing up
- 24:06Speaker 2: a little bit, Scott and take some shots down the field,
- 24:08Speaker 2: because they run it real well on that opening drive.
- 24:11Speaker 3: No, and they were heavy, heavy on the run. And
- 24:13Speaker 3: then they got to know that third and long situation again,
- 24:17Speaker 3: and Anthony Brown just not comfortable in the pocket. And
- 24:20Speaker 3: of course Utah got some good consistent pressure. You know,
- 24:23Speaker 3: you get those edge rushers, but you also get a
- 24:25Speaker 3: push in the middle of the pocket, and there's nowhere
- 24:27Speaker 3: for him to escape because that's what he wants to do.
- 24:30Speaker 3: He wants to extend plays, escape, extend plays and hit
- 24:32Speaker 3: guys kind of scrambling.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Around Brown brings the offense back after a second time tonight.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Travis Dye joins him at the backfield. Two receivers right,
- 24:41Speaker 2: one receiver left at a tight end here for Oregon
- 24:43Speaker 2: on first and ten from their own fifteen yard line.
- 24:48Speaker 2: Get a little loud here as Brown backs up into
- 24:52Speaker 2: the gun. A lot of Utah fans on hand here tonight,
- 24:54Speaker 2: ocean across the formation. Brown's gonna keep it out on
- 24:57Speaker 2: the edge. Anthony Brown to the twenty, Anthony Brown to
- 25:00Speaker 2: the twenty five and out of bounds, picks up ten
- 25:02Speaker 2: yards on the quarterback keeper. And that's what he can do.
- 25:05Speaker 2: He was being chased. That diamonds good read by Brown
- 25:07Speaker 2: and he picks up ten.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was the that's a run pass option
- 25:10Speaker 3: play right there. And the defenders they can't come off
- 25:13Speaker 3: on him too early, the cornerbacks, because he'll throw it.
- 25:16Speaker 3: And he's looking to throw it here, but Mika just
- 25:19Speaker 3: can't quite get to him. And that that groin you
- 25:21Speaker 3: talked about before, that might have that might have had
- 25:24Speaker 3: an impact on him.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Mika's playing with a little bit of a tweak groin tonight.
- 25:28Speaker 2: We'll see if that impacts him at all. Forth the line
- 25:30Speaker 2: of scrimmage here for Utah on first and ten out
- 25:32Speaker 2: of the twenty five.
- 25:33Speaker 1: Now four wide in.
- 25:35Speaker 2: The formation here for the Oregon Ducks, and Brown's gonna
- 25:37Speaker 2: pass it again, throwing to the outside way behind his
- 25:40Speaker 2: wide receiver. I mean, he wasn't in the same area
- 25:43Speaker 2: code trying to get that ball to Troy Franklin.
- 25:45Speaker 1: He missed him by ten yards.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Yeah, and see that's one. It's even though Brown has
- 25:51Speaker 3: a lot of time in the first game in Salt Lake.
- 25:54Speaker 3: If he if he could throw it like just plan
- 25:56Speaker 3: his foot and throw it quick, he was good. But
- 25:58Speaker 3: if he had to hold the ball at all, he
- 26:00Speaker 3: did right there. It's just very very average to you know.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Four.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Four wide. Look this time Dye stays at the ball game.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Second down in ten Ducks, they motioned the tied end
- 26:11Speaker 2: to the right side of the formation Utah with five
- 26:13Speaker 2: of the line of scrimmage, play action, throwing it outside.
- 26:17Speaker 2: It's caught there outside, then driven immediately out of bounds.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Great coverage on the near sideline here by Vante Davis
- 26:25Speaker 2: safety came up to drive the man out of bounds.
- 26:27Speaker 2: And what do we have. We've got a.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Hurry up, got a flag over there. Really late by
- 26:34Speaker 3: that side judge. Might have been a lineman downfield, we'll see,
- 26:40Speaker 3: or maybe it's a targeting called.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Nothing there though you still haven't heard from the referee.
- 26:49Speaker 6: In eligible receiver downfield number seventy seven, five yard penalty second.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Down, So second down in fifteen. Now, is they got
- 26:58Speaker 2: George Moore the left tackle? It made a little bit
- 27:01Speaker 2: too far down the field.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Yeah, And you get these run pass option teams and
- 27:05Speaker 3: you throw you throw kind of these screens down the
- 27:07Speaker 3: field and they're not they're not runs, and so sometimes
- 27:10Speaker 3: you get you get burned on that good call though
- 27:13Speaker 3: by the official.
- 27:14Speaker 2: And now what do we have the officials blowing their
- 27:16Speaker 2: whistle and a time out taken by who.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Organ?
- 27:25Speaker 3: Are they looking at something?
- 27:26Speaker 6: The previous play was under review for where the ball
- 27:29Speaker 6: was touched.
- 27:32Speaker 1: So is it five yards from where the ball was touched?
- 27:35Speaker 1: Is that what we have?
- 27:36Speaker 2: Okay, take a look at it here, run pass excuse me,
- 27:40Speaker 2: run pass option.
- 27:42Speaker 1: The ball was deflected and.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Had halfway between the I don't know, thirty.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Thirty yard line thirty and thirty one yard.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Line, so five yards from there.
- 28:02Speaker 6: After review, the ball was touched behind the line of scrimmage.
- 28:06Speaker 5: That makes all of the ineligible's legal downfield.
- 28:09Speaker 6: The pass was caught and the run ended in the
- 28:11Speaker 6: thirty yard line, it will be third down at the
- 28:13Speaker 6: thirty yard line.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Huh yeah, there you go.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Maybe that's what they were looking at.
- 28:16Speaker 2: That's exactly what it was. Hit a tipball, so or
- 28:19Speaker 2: you will have a third down here. They're oh for
- 28:25Speaker 2: one on third down tonight. They've got to get to
- 28:27Speaker 2: the thirty five yard line to keep the drive alive.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Four thirty four to play here the first quarter, seven
- 28:31Speaker 2: nothing Utah.
- 28:32Speaker 3: Yeah, what's interest. Utah's pressing their corners. They're not giving
- 28:35Speaker 3: Anthony Brown those quick outs they like they did early
- 28:39Speaker 3: last week, which is I like this improvement with.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Utah has got to get somebody else out here to
- 28:43Speaker 2: guard the slot. Third down in five, they're gonna rush
- 28:47Speaker 2: four here at Anthony Brown.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Here they come. Brown's got time, fires over the middle,
- 28:52Speaker 1: intercept it, it's picked off. That's Devin Lloyd.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Touchdown, touchdown, touched, a pick six for Devin Lloyd.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Thirty four yards.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Head into the end zone and Devin Lloyd has put
- 29:09Speaker 2: Utah up thirteen nothing.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Yeah. One of the things Anthony Brown does is he
- 29:13Speaker 3: really looks at his guys, and Devin Lloyd ran that
- 29:18Speaker 3: route for Anthony Brown. He just jumped at early just
- 29:21Speaker 3: because he knew. They know, Uton knows these routes are
- 29:24Speaker 3: gonna be short. And that's all that Anthony Brown could do.
- 29:26Speaker 3: But earlier in the game, Devin Lloyd has just been
- 29:30Speaker 3: wearing out Anthony Brown.
- 29:32Speaker 2: He is the PAC twelve defensive Player of the Year,
- 29:35Speaker 2: there is no doubt about it. And the third pick
- 29:40Speaker 2: six of his career pat by Jayden Redding up a
- 29:43Speaker 2: good for sixteen to play in the first quarter.
- 29:46Speaker 1: It's Utah fourteen. Anthony Oregon ducks nothing. Scott.
- 29:51Speaker 2: All he did was watch the eyes of all he
- 29:53Speaker 2: did was watch Anthony Brown's eyes.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Yeah, he knew that these routes are gonna be short,
- 29:57Speaker 3: and he reads the combination. You know, there's gonna be
- 30:00Speaker 3: a guy that goes out and a guy that goes in,
- 30:02Speaker 3: and Devin just does a great job of reading and
- 30:04Speaker 3: seeing the quarterback. Excellent, excellent job there. You know, you
- 30:09Speaker 3: got to feel good if you're Utah that they reversed
- 30:11Speaker 3: the call, you know, because it made it third down
- 30:14Speaker 3: and so they're going to try to throw the ball.
- 30:16Speaker 3: But but what you have is you is you, you know,
- 30:20Speaker 3: you have a situation where, you know, Oregon feels like, man,
- 30:24Speaker 3: we can't run the ball and get five yards against Utah,
- 30:26Speaker 3: so we got to throw it. Great job by Devin
- 30:29Speaker 3: Lloyd though, that situation.
- 30:30Speaker 2: The first turnover Utah has had since the Stanford game.
- 30:34Speaker 2: They had not forced a turnover since the Cardinal game
- 30:38Speaker 2: almost a month ago. Jordan Nois has it teed up
- 30:42Speaker 2: after that Pepsi touchdown.
- 30:44Speaker 3: And it's it's one of those situations where you know
- 30:48Speaker 3: a lot of times guys drop those you know, and
- 30:50Speaker 3: and when when they're there to make and you make
- 30:53Speaker 3: plays because you're not going to get him back again.
- 30:55Speaker 3: And so that's what Devin Lloyd has done, just made
- 30:58Speaker 3: those plays.
- 30:59Speaker 2: I hanging kick seven McGhee will take it at his
- 31:03Speaker 2: goal line. McGee brings it to the five, to the ten,
- 31:06Speaker 2: to the fifteen and dropped at the twenty yard line.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Seven McGee twenty yard return. Oregon starts with an eighty
- 31:12Speaker 2: yard field here, trailing fourteen to nothing. Hayden Fury was
- 31:16Speaker 2: in on that tackles. Saw Hayden's mom and dad at
- 31:19Speaker 2: the Mandalay last night. Mama Fury came up and gave
- 31:22Speaker 2: me a big hug and said she loves listening.
- 31:24Speaker 1: To us on the radio.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Well, we love her, and we love her son too,
- 31:28Speaker 2: who plays really, really good football. He's a former walk
- 31:31Speaker 2: on Hayden Fury who kind of comes in as that
- 31:34Speaker 2: third fourth linebacker for Utah. So fourteen nothing, Oregon's down,
- 31:40Speaker 2: Utah's up first and ten ducks from their own twenty
- 31:43Speaker 2: yard line, empty backfield. Brown's gonna empty it out and
- 31:49Speaker 2: have a five wide look here on first down, Utah's
- 31:52Speaker 2: gonna rush just four and play coverage behind it. Now
- 31:55Speaker 2: de comes into the backfield, Anthony Brown is going to
- 31:58Speaker 2: be dropped behind the line of scrimmage. Cole Bishop and
- 32:03Speaker 2: Van Fillinger shot in from the outside and dropped it
- 32:06Speaker 2: for a one yard loss.
- 32:08Speaker 1: And Hillinger just beat his man like a drum out
- 32:11Speaker 1: on the edge.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Well, and Oregon, what they're doing is on that backside,
- 32:14Speaker 3: they're saying, we're gonna lead the end alone and we're
- 32:17Speaker 3: gonna bring a tight end to the backside and block him.
- 32:19Speaker 3: And when Fillinger didn't have anyone and Brown playfake did
- 32:24Speaker 3: he just got right in the backfield.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Ninth tackle for loss on the year for Van Fillinger.
- 32:28Speaker 2: A terrific looking freshman. Second down in eleven from their
- 32:31Speaker 2: own nineteen. Here comes Utah again off the edge. Brown
- 32:35Speaker 2: fires over the middle complete to the twenty three to
- 32:38Speaker 2: twenty four yard line. Goes Chris Hudson, picks up about five.
- 32:42Speaker 2: That'll bring up third down and almost six yards ago
- 32:45Speaker 2: they're given the twenty five some this kind spot third
- 32:48Speaker 2: down and five coming up.
- 32:50Speaker 3: Yeah, those are those situations where Utah's playing coverage against
- 32:55Speaker 3: Anthony Brown. Tonight they're and they're giving them the underneath row,
- 32:59Speaker 3: making him beat.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Him underneath, ducts a row for two.
- 33:02Speaker 2: On third down, Die stays in the backfield Matavaal across
- 33:05Speaker 2: the formation. Utah will rush four here and played coverage
- 33:09Speaker 2: behind here they come. Anthony Brown fires to the outside.
- 33:12Speaker 2: It's caught at to thirty and short, and then a
- 33:15Speaker 2: flag comes in and they we're gonna have a hold
- 33:17Speaker 2: on Utah.
- 33:18Speaker 1: I think we may have a hold on the slot receiver.
- 33:21Speaker 2: It's gonna be good for first down yardage if it's
- 33:23Speaker 2: not against.
- 33:23Speaker 5: Pass interfer and offense number ten hafter this is for
- 33:29Speaker 5: the goal third down.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Wow, they got Dante Thornton for pass interference on this play.
- 33:34Speaker 1: It was a pick is what it was. Yep.
- 33:36Speaker 2: Hey, they came right up and crashed into the Utah defender.
- 33:39Speaker 2: You can't make contact. So now third down is short
- 33:42Speaker 2: instead of a first down, it's third down and very long.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Here for Oregon, it'll be third down and about fifteen.
- 33:48Speaker 3: And I think Clark Phillips was a little tentative because
- 33:51Speaker 3: of the last game where he kind of got nosy
- 33:53Speaker 3: and the guy who went over the top on a
- 33:55Speaker 3: touchdown right there. But that's all Oregon's gonna do is
- 33:58Speaker 3: throw those quick out.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Third and seven. Team die in the backfield. Watch the
- 34:02Speaker 2: screen here, Utah's gonna rush. It looks like just three.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Now they'll show some more pressure at the line five
- 34:11Speaker 2: of the line of scrimmage. Now they back away, Anthony
- 34:14Speaker 2: Brown looking surveying. Hey, you'll go down back at the
- 34:17Speaker 2: five yard line. Devin Lloyd in for the sack. He's
- 34:24Speaker 2: Superman tonight for Utah. Fourth down coming up.
- 34:29Speaker 3: Well, what what's happening here is that's perfect coordination by Utah.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Get a nice consistent pass rush. What you're covering, guys,
- 34:38Speaker 3: and there's nowhere for the quarterback to go. There's nowhere
- 34:41Speaker 3: for the quarterback to run, and he got nailed.
- 34:45Speaker 1: I want to take that back.
- 34:46Speaker 2: It was Jonah Ellis and Junior Tafuna who got in
- 34:51Speaker 2: on the sack. Here's sneeze punt, It's away and Covey's
- 34:53Speaker 2: gonna get a chance to return it. Kevey at the
- 34:55Speaker 2: forty seven Britain Covey up the field of the outside.
- 34:58Speaker 2: Britain Covey trying to get to the edge, turned back
- 35:00Speaker 2: and he'll be dropped at the Oregon forty six yard line.
- 35:03Speaker 2: That time they had him hemmed in. But Utah will
- 35:06Speaker 2: have great starting field position. First intended the Oregon forty
- 35:10Speaker 2: five yard line, up fourteen to nothing, forty one yard
- 35:12Speaker 2: put two yard returned by Britain.
- 35:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I see, you know what, I don't care Britain.
- 35:17Speaker 3: Covey says, I'm here to win and I'm gonna run.
- 35:20Speaker 3: I'm gonna find anywhere I have to go. I'm not
- 35:22Speaker 3: here to be timid. I'm not here to play, not
- 35:25Speaker 3: to you know, not to lose. I'm here to play
- 35:27Speaker 3: to win. And you know, sometimes you lose, but but
- 35:31Speaker 3: a lot of times you win in those situations.
- 35:33Speaker 2: And at thirty seven to play here the first quarter,
- 35:35Speaker 2: fourteen nothing, Utah first intended the Oregon forty five do
- 35:38Speaker 2: you take a shot right here, Scott.
- 35:39Speaker 3: Play action. You're gonna throw a shot to your tight
- 35:41Speaker 3: end right.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Here, tight end to the right slot. That's Keithy. They
- 35:46Speaker 2: motioned Bernard out of the backfield. Rising is gonna pass
- 35:50Speaker 2: fires over the middle.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Clock.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Tight end's got it. Thirty five and down to the
- 35:53Speaker 2: Oregon thirty one yard line. Dalton Concine picks up fourteen
- 35:58Speaker 2: and a first mile first down, and this Utah team
- 36:01Speaker 2: is humming right now.
- 36:02Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is where you're just reading the linebacker.
- 36:04Speaker 3: He goes to the left and there's just a hole
- 36:06Speaker 3: right there in the middle of the field. And you know,
- 36:08Speaker 3: Nephi Sewell's turning to where the three wide receivers are
- 36:12Speaker 3: and you and you just got that nice big hole
- 36:14Speaker 3: there for those tight ends.
- 36:16Speaker 2: Min at fourteen clock running to play here the first
- 36:18Speaker 2: first in ten Utah from the Oregon thirty one yard line.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Tavon Thomas by himself in the backfield, two tights and
- 36:25Speaker 2: two wides. Cam changing the play, turns and gives it
- 36:29Speaker 2: to Tavon. Tavon to the second step and he gets
- 36:32Speaker 2: dropped after about a one yard game. He's running a
- 36:35Speaker 2: little slow tonight. Scott he's not being real decisive, is no.
- 36:38Speaker 3: And it's it's that, you know, it's he's got to
- 36:41Speaker 3: hit that hole like straight ahead, and the cutback was
- 36:44Speaker 3: kind of there, but you got to you gotta hit
- 36:46Speaker 3: the cutback going hard. He hit it kind of running
- 36:48Speaker 3: laterally and just feeling his way through the defense.
- 36:51Speaker 2: He's got to just go second down at nine from
- 36:54Speaker 2: the Oregon thirty.
- 36:55Speaker 3: He's a load. Yeah, that dude, he's a load.
- 36:58Speaker 2: When he gets going, clock running thirty seconds to play.
- 37:01Speaker 2: Here the first quarter, Thomas stays in the ball game.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Three tight ends to the right hand side here for Utah,
- 37:07Speaker 2: Rising hands it again. Thomas Thomas keeps those feet churning,
- 37:10Speaker 2: gets pushed backwards forward progress. We'll get into about the
- 37:14Speaker 2: twenty eight yard line and that's about it. Popo al
- 37:17Speaker 2: Mave with the tackle and that will take us to
- 37:19Speaker 2: the end of the first quarter here at Allegiant Stadium.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Utah will have a third down at about eight to
- 37:24Speaker 2: go when we get back. But what a first quarter
- 37:26Speaker 2: for Utah here on Championship Friday night.
- 37:29Speaker 5: That's the end of the first quarter.
- 37:33Speaker 2: At the end of the first quarter, Utah fourteen and
- 37:37Speaker 2: Oregon nothing. This is Utah football from lyripiad whether you're
- 37:41Speaker 2: rent her own, Geyco makes it easy to bundle home
- 37:44Speaker 2: and car insurance. Having a home as hard work, So
- 37:46Speaker 2: get a quote at diko dot com. Bill Riley, Scott,
- 37:49Speaker 2: Mitchell Stevens, and Sylvester from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada,
- 37:54Speaker 2: Friday Night football in PAC twelve Championship game football Utah
- 37:59Speaker 2: four team Oregon nothing. First quarter numbers eighty one yards
- 38:03Speaker 2: for the Utes, twenty six for the Ducks. Utah ran
- 38:06Speaker 2: three more plays sixty seven and the air fourteen on
- 38:09Speaker 2: the ground, six first downs to two when Utah had
- 38:12Speaker 2: the time of possession edge too. But it's got really
- 38:14Speaker 2: the story here tonight is a smooth offense, but Utah's
- 38:17Speaker 2: defense will just dialed in again.
- 38:19Speaker 3: Yeah, this this team just just really running on all
- 38:22Speaker 3: cylinders here. This uh just very clean and crisp and
- 38:26Speaker 3: uh certainly with a with a lot of temple. But
- 38:28Speaker 3: it reminds me a lot of the beginning of the
- 38:30Speaker 3: last game. I mean that was that was a close game.
- 38:32Speaker 3: I mean Utah was scoring and whatever, but then it
- 38:35Speaker 3: was just kind of in this second quarter going toward
- 38:38Speaker 3: the end of the quarter, scoring late, getting the ball
- 38:40Speaker 3: back and then and then kind of you know, going
- 38:43Speaker 3: up twenty eight to nothing at halftime. But uh, just
- 38:46Speaker 3: this is you're gonna get. Oregon is not going to
- 38:48Speaker 3: give up here. You just got to keep you gotta
- 38:50Speaker 3: keep going. S third down and seven ish. Wouldn't be
- 38:53Speaker 3: surprised if Utah gets most of the yards. They don't.
- 38:56Speaker 3: They don't go forward on fourth downs, they don't get
- 38:58Speaker 3: they don't convert it.
- 38:59Speaker 2: See point here would be good if you pick up
- 39:01Speaker 2: five or six of those seven or eight. Maybe you
- 39:03Speaker 2: try the field goal with Jaydon Redding.
- 39:05Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Place kicking has been a little up and down for
- 39:09Speaker 2: Utah this year. This offensive series being brought to you
- 39:12Speaker 2: by Bud Light welcoming the offense back out to the
- 39:16Speaker 2: field this year, Utah fourteen and Oregon nothing. The winner
- 39:21Speaker 2: of this game plays in Pasadena in less than a
- 39:24Speaker 2: month on New Year's Day, Utah trying to get its
- 39:27Speaker 2: first ever Pac twelve championship in football.
- 39:30Speaker 3: Well, and you know in this situation where Utah has
- 39:34Speaker 3: kind of had a mismatches with those tight ends, Yeah,
- 39:38Speaker 3: look for a shot to the tight end here.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Enis Covey came to the right male by himself to
- 39:47Speaker 2: the left. Maybe you take a shot that way. Pledger
- 39:49Speaker 2: of the ball game. Third down and seven here for Utah,
- 39:52Speaker 2: Cam's gonna pass, back pedals, look, surveys, fires, intercepted, intercepted
- 39:57Speaker 2: by the Oregon Ducks. That's the turnover Utah couldn't have,
- 40:01Speaker 2: and they return it out to their own forty five
- 40:02Speaker 2: yard line. Noahsoule jumped the route and returned to twenty
- 40:07Speaker 2: yards to the forty five.
- 40:09Speaker 1: That was the wrong read by Cam. He had somebody
- 40:11Speaker 1: else wide open.
- 40:13Speaker 3: Well, he holds onto the ball here, and when the
- 40:17Speaker 3: first guy crosses and that guy goes outside him, you don't.
- 40:20Speaker 3: So he's got to hit him right there sooner.
- 40:22Speaker 1: But so now the Ducks get a turnover.
- 40:26Speaker 2: They've even the battle here, and let's see if this
- 40:28Speaker 2: gives them some momentum here they've got it first and
- 40:31Speaker 2: ten at their own forty six yard line, trailing by fourteen.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Might be the shot they need to get back in
- 40:37Speaker 2: this ball game. Anthony Brown, Travis die first and ten
- 40:45Speaker 2: Utah with a four man down front. Here the motion
- 40:48Speaker 2: hunts it acros naked Frank, but across the formation. He
- 40:50Speaker 2: runs it across the fifty and now to the Utah
- 40:53Speaker 2: forty eight yard line for a game of six. On
- 40:55Speaker 2: first down, well fly sweep action that time seven McGee
- 41:00Speaker 2: actually had the carry. And now we've got an injured
- 41:04Speaker 2: duck down on the play and that is Jackson powers
- 41:12Speaker 2: Johnson backup center and guard. He's down right now. I'm
- 41:18Speaker 2: gonna keep it right here while they check on him.
- 41:20Speaker 2: We'll remind you that our broadcast tonight being brought to
- 41:22Speaker 2: you by KSL Sports and KSL sports dot Com download
- 41:25Speaker 2: their app today. So this is where Utah's defense Nelton
- 41:30Speaker 2: has to has to come up and go up just
- 41:32Speaker 2: a little bit. That was not a great read by Cam.
- 41:35Speaker 2: He kind of telegraphed it too, didn't he scot it?
- 41:37Speaker 3: Yeah, he really did. And and you know he's gone
- 41:40Speaker 3: to that play quite a few times, and it works
- 41:43Speaker 3: when you're when you have the threat of run. But
- 41:46Speaker 3: but Oregon was just sitting back in the past situation
- 41:48Speaker 3: and you just gotta you gotta feel that that linebacker
- 41:51Speaker 3: when he when he widens as the snap, you got
- 41:55Speaker 3: to see that as it happens. And and uh, Cam
- 41:58Speaker 3: just kind of tunneled into a guy and didn't didn't
- 42:00Speaker 3: get a feel for him.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Second down in four for the Ducks. They helped powers
- 42:03Speaker 2: Johnson off the field from the Utah forty eight die
- 42:11Speaker 2: in the ball game four at the line for Utah,
- 42:17Speaker 2: Brown in the shotgun, keeps it out on the edge,
- 42:22Speaker 2: run pass option dumps it into the flat to the
- 42:24Speaker 2: forty good blocking down field and down to about the
- 42:27Speaker 2: thirty one Utah yard line of Utah goes seven McGee
- 42:30Speaker 2: run pass option pays dividend. They'll actually give him the
- 42:32Speaker 2: Utah twenty nine. So that's a pickup of eighteen yards.
- 42:36Speaker 2: Make a nineteen yards and a first down here for
- 42:38Speaker 2: the Ducks, and they've got a little something going now.
- 42:40Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that play where they had it in
- 42:44Speaker 3: the in the first game. They just didn't execute it well.
- 42:46Speaker 3: But that was a good call by Oregon and Utah
- 42:49Speaker 3: just didn't have an answer for it.
- 42:51Speaker 2: First and ten from the Utah twenty nine, Brown and
- 42:56Speaker 2: the gun would die next to him. Utah showing pressure
- 42:59Speaker 2: off the edge.
- 43:00Speaker 1: You're gonna run the.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Option to the outside, pitch it outside to Travis Dye
- 43:05Speaker 2: inside the twenty five and down to the twenty three
- 43:07Speaker 2: yard line for a pickup of six on first down.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Utah was a little slow to react to that and
- 43:13Speaker 2: that allowed the pitch to happen in the game to
- 43:15Speaker 2: go second down in four.
- 43:16Speaker 3: And all the running from Oregon in really the first
- 43:18Speaker 3: two games has kind of been inside tackle to tackle.
- 43:21Speaker 3: But Utah here is running. I'm sorry, Oregon is trying
- 43:26Speaker 3: to get out on the edge. I've had two or
- 43:27Speaker 3: three plays here on the edge that have worked.
- 43:30Speaker 1: Four wide.
- 43:30Speaker 2: Look here on second down and four from the Utah
- 43:33Speaker 2: twenty three best field position of the night here for
- 43:36Speaker 2: the Ducks. McGee comes into the backfield with brown read option.
- 43:40Speaker 2: They give it to McGee tripped up and taken down
- 43:43Speaker 2: at about the twenty one yard line. After a game
- 43:45Speaker 2: of two Devin Lloyd tripped him up. Third down and
- 43:47Speaker 2: two coming up. My guess is four down territory here
- 43:50Speaker 2: for the Ducks.
- 43:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think so, and probably look for something
- 43:54Speaker 3: where the quarterback's going to be involved, some kind of
- 43:56Speaker 3: octen play here.
- 43:58Speaker 2: Clock running at twelve fifty to play the first half
- 44:00Speaker 2: of Utah fourteen Oregon nothing.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Ducks.
- 44:07Speaker 2: So for three on third down, Brown and die in
- 44:10Speaker 2: the backfield, two tight ends and the left slot here.
- 44:13Speaker 1: For the Ducks.
- 44:14Speaker 2: This will be a running play and now flack sly
- 44:17Speaker 2: and move it up front against Oregon, they're gonna get
- 44:19Speaker 2: Ryan Walk the right guard.
- 44:26Speaker 6: Full start offense number fifty six and number twelve, five
- 44:30Speaker 6: yard penalty fourth Thouar.
- 44:33Speaker 1: The tight end and the left guard. We're moving that time.
- 44:37Speaker 2: So third down and two becomes third down.
- 44:40Speaker 3: You'd probably running the ball to those guys. Yep.
- 44:44Speaker 1: I think they were going left Scott.
- 44:46Speaker 3: Part of the you know, the crowd noise could play
- 44:48Speaker 3: into this. Knowing how aggressive Utah is, that all factors
- 44:52Speaker 3: into those guys jumping on sides.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Utah has blitzed very little here tonight, third down and seven,
- 44:58Speaker 2: gotta get to the Utah nineteen for a first down.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Brown of the gun four wide in the formation, Anthony
- 45:07Speaker 2: Brown to pass. Here comes the pass rush throws outside
- 45:10Speaker 2: and over the head of his man who was wide
- 45:12Speaker 2: open at about the nine yard line. He was trying
- 45:15Speaker 2: to get a Detroy Franklin again. That'll bring up fourth
- 45:17Speaker 2: down and seven. They'll bring out the field goal team. Now,
- 45:20Speaker 2: I mean, that was just a terrible throw.
- 45:22Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like the guy, the wide receiver maybe
- 45:26Speaker 3: trying to go up the sideline there, but it's really
- 45:28Speaker 3: about the only guy he had an opportunity to throw
- 45:31Speaker 3: the ball to this is this is kind of a
- 45:32Speaker 3: win for Utah. Here to to just get into you know,
- 45:36Speaker 3: three points.
- 45:37Speaker 2: That Camden Lewis will attempt a forty four yard field goal.
- 45:40Speaker 2: He missed two in salt Lake. One block, one miss,
- 45:43Speaker 2: his only two misses of the year. Snead a hole,
- 45:49Speaker 2: good snap, good hold, The kick is away, it's high,
- 45:52Speaker 2: it's end over end, and it is no good. Camden
- 45:55Speaker 2: Lewis does not like kicking against Utah, I can tell
- 45:58Speaker 2: you that much.
- 45:59Speaker 1: The Utah defense stands up big.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Twelve minutes to play here the first half for the
- 46:03Speaker 2: big old Tires broadcast booth. It's Utah fourteen in Oregon.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Nothing. This is Utah football for lear field.
- 46:11Speaker 2: Harley Davidson of Salt Lake proudly supports the mighty Utah
- 46:14Speaker 2: student section. Let's go uts so for a second time tonight.
- 46:17Speaker 2: A penalty absolutely kills Oregon's offense. Let's go downstairs to
- 46:21Speaker 2: slide swy.
- 46:21Speaker 1: What do you get?
- 46:22Speaker 7: Defense played great.
- 46:24Speaker 4: They had Cam's back on that Cam just literally, like
- 46:27Speaker 4: Scott said, eyed his receiver down. Noah Thule made a
- 46:30Speaker 4: great read and just cutting that slant off and making
- 46:33Speaker 4: the interception. But even better job by the Utah defense
- 46:36Speaker 4: and standing up after a turnover that it's very hard
- 46:39Speaker 4: to do, and they did it, and getting this offense
- 46:41Speaker 4: back to the ball. So now Cam has to make
- 46:43Speaker 4: up for his interception and.
- 46:44Speaker 2: Utah's got to find that way to run the football
- 46:46Speaker 2: a little bit here, Scott. Oregon's did a really good
- 46:48Speaker 2: job stopping it, but Utah's only run it so far
- 46:50Speaker 2: in the ball game for thirteen yards.
- 46:53Speaker 3: Yeah, there hasn't been a significant commitment to the run either.
- 46:55Speaker 3: I mean, it's been a lot of pass early on
- 46:58Speaker 3: and this offensive line they have to come off the ball,
- 47:01Speaker 3: and you know, I wouldn't be surprised to see maybe
- 47:03Speaker 3: a play action shot here on this on this first down,
- 47:06Speaker 3: just to get get the ball down the field a
- 47:08Speaker 3: little bit. You're gonna get that on first down, you know,
- 47:11Speaker 3: because Oregon is so tight to the line of scrimmage.
- 47:13Speaker 3: Play action go down the field or just just those
- 47:15Speaker 3: straight ahead runs are where Utah's had had its success offense.
- 47:20Speaker 2: Being welcome to the field again by our friends at
- 47:22Speaker 2: bud LIGHTE. We're the Legion Stadium in Las Vegas, and
- 47:26Speaker 2: I would tell you if this play seat sixty five thousand,
- 47:28Speaker 2: there's probably at least forty to forty five thousand Utah
- 47:31Speaker 2: fans here in attendance tonight. It's been a terrific turnout
- 47:35Speaker 2: by the Utah fans in red. You know, Scott, the
- 47:37Speaker 2: conference has got to be thrilled by this.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just such a great location destination. I mean,
- 47:42Speaker 3: you know, of course Utah can travel a lot of
- 47:45Speaker 3: people easily here, but this is a lot more exciting
- 47:47Speaker 3: than the last two we've been I'll tell you for sure.
- 47:50Speaker 2: Howard and Dixon to the right hand side, salamandas to
- 47:53Speaker 2: the left, TJ. Pledger of the back view tight end
- 47:56Speaker 2: across the formation here for Utah first and ten from
- 47:58Speaker 2: their own twenty six yard line run blitz being showed
- 48:01Speaker 2: by Oregon play action. Nope, they handed off TJ Pledger
- 48:05Speaker 2: and TJ pushes ahead for about threes out near the
- 48:08Speaker 2: twenty nine yard line, then gets thrown backwards by Noah Sooole,
- 48:13Speaker 2: very very close to an unsportsman like right there by Noahsoole.
- 48:16Speaker 1: The whistle had blown, the play was over. There was
- 48:18Speaker 1: no need for it.
- 48:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and Noah Soole has come to play tonight. I
- 48:22Speaker 3: mean he made the interception early. You can see he's
- 48:25Speaker 3: being very disciplined in his assignments, and he's really flying
- 48:30Speaker 3: to the football.
- 48:31Speaker 2: Second down in seven Utah lock running eleven and a
- 48:34Speaker 2: half to play here the first half fourteen nothing use,
- 48:37Speaker 2: two tight ends, two wide receivers Covey and Dixon to
- 48:40Speaker 2: the right hand side, TJ Pledger the back of the backfield.
- 48:45Speaker 2: Covey comes in motion, turning a give again TJ. Pledger
- 48:48Speaker 2: through the hole thirty to the thirty two yard line.
- 48:51Speaker 2: Goes TJ. For another gain of three. That'll bring up
- 48:54Speaker 2: third down and four. Jeffrey Bossom, the currents high product
- 48:58Speaker 2: freshman and Oregon made the tackle. Here go third down
- 49:00Speaker 2: and four for Utah.
- 49:01Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a decent run there by Pledger because
- 49:05Speaker 3: to your point a minute ago, I mean, he hit
- 49:06Speaker 3: that hole hard, and you just keep attacking those holes
- 49:10Speaker 3: and you're gonna wear down this defense.
- 49:13Speaker 2: And Ton hasn't converted a third down yet. Say they're
- 49:16Speaker 2: third and four or zero for three here, but Kay
- 49:19Speaker 2: Bernard in the backfield with rising ducks showing a little pressure,
- 49:24Speaker 2: and here they come, Cam dumps it over the middle.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Cot that'll be first down yardage beyond the sticks and
- 49:29Speaker 2: after the thirty eight.
- 49:29Speaker 1: Yard line, the grab made there by THEO Howard. Hello THEO.
- 49:33Speaker 1: Welcome back.
- 49:34Speaker 2: We've gone about two or three games without THEO making
- 49:36Speaker 2: a catch. Good to see him make a grab their
- 49:38Speaker 2: first down for Utah.
- 49:38Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a big play. I mean, like you said,
- 49:40Speaker 3: not very used. But this is a zone. He just
- 49:43Speaker 3: sits down in the in the zone. These are better
- 49:45Speaker 3: routes against Oregon where you just find a hole as
- 49:48Speaker 3: opposed to those slant routes because because Oregon, Oregon will
- 49:51Speaker 3: leave holes like that. Great conversion on that third down.
- 49:54Speaker 2: Chris Curry of the ball game here for Utah. Three
- 49:57Speaker 2: wide and a tight end. Kubby comes into back heel.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Here for Utah. They'll play action. Now Cam's gonna step
- 50:03Speaker 2: up away.
- 50:03Speaker 1: For the pressure.
- 50:04Speaker 2: He's gonna run and pick up about a yard, don't
- 50:07Speaker 2: They'll mark him down right at the line of scrimmage.
- 50:09Speaker 2: Good pressure off the edge that time by Noah Suol again,
- 50:12Speaker 2: and that late just never got a chance to develop,
- 50:14Speaker 2: did it.
- 50:15Speaker 3: No, it really didn't. But it was Kevon Thibodeaux early.
- 50:18Speaker 3: And of course what I said in the pregame, they're
- 50:20Speaker 3: gonna put uh Thibodeau on on who's ever at guard?
- 50:23Speaker 3: You got either got Moka Fisi or you got you
- 50:26Speaker 3: get Keaton Bills, who's not quite one hundred percent there
- 50:28Speaker 3: and he had a hard time blocking.
- 50:30Speaker 2: Cave On second down in ten tab On Thomas back
- 50:32Speaker 2: of the ball game, two wide, two tight here for
- 50:35Speaker 2: Utah from their own thirty eight seven of the box.
- 50:38Speaker 2: Here for the Ducks hand off again Taveon forty forty five.
- 50:45Speaker 2: It picks up seven yards on second down. Noah Suol
- 50:48Speaker 2: with the tackle. That was Kaveon's best run of the day.
- 50:50Speaker 3: Right there in that little spot, that little cutback between
- 50:53Speaker 3: the backside guard and center. That's where that because Oregon's
- 50:57Speaker 3: you know, they're so aggressive, right and you just seal
- 50:59Speaker 3: them off on that back side there and take me
- 51:01Speaker 3: on almost bounced it to the outside for even a
- 51:04Speaker 3: bigger play. He knows that too.
- 51:05Speaker 2: He's like, oh man, Utah one out of four on
- 51:09Speaker 2: the third down they faced third down and three, they've
- 51:11Speaker 2: got to get to their own forty eight for a
- 51:12Speaker 2: first down. Pledger of the ball game, two tights, two
- 51:17Speaker 2: wides here for Utah again, Oregon crowding the line of scrimmage,
- 51:21Speaker 2: showing pressure option plays straight ahead cam rising first down yardage.
- 51:26Speaker 2: He picked up four that he needed three, moved to
- 51:28Speaker 2: change cam using the legs this time, and a first
- 51:31Speaker 2: down for Utah.
- 51:32Speaker 3: Yeah, and see that that's where Utah just really came
- 51:35Speaker 3: off the ball, got a great surge, get guys engaged,
- 51:38Speaker 3: and having that quarterback that can run in those situations
- 51:42Speaker 3: just put so much pressure on the defense.
- 51:44Speaker 2: First and ten Utah of their own forty nine yard
- 51:47Speaker 2: line up fourteen with a clock running at eight twenty.
- 51:50Speaker 3: To play here, shot play right here, they're going to
- 51:53Speaker 3: stat they're gonna have to go with a shot play.
- 51:55Speaker 2: You've got de von vele split wide to the left
- 51:58Speaker 2: hand side, Tabyon Thomas the back of the ball game
- 52:03Speaker 2: and movement on the line, everybody on the organ Stee's sorry.
- 52:06Speaker 5: Offense, number nine five yard penalty first down.
- 52:10Speaker 2: It was actually Tavion that flinched that time in the backfield.
- 52:15Speaker 2: That really shouldn't happen. But okay, first down at fifteen,
- 52:18Speaker 2: back up up to the forty four yard line.
- 52:20Speaker 3: You've seen a lot of this from both of these teams,
- 52:22Speaker 3: and a lot of times that it's indicative of guys
- 52:25Speaker 3: a little bit, you know, still a little bit have
- 52:29Speaker 3: those nerves going and not manage him.
- 52:31Speaker 2: This is the biggest game of taviy On Thomas's life.
- 52:33Speaker 2: He's never played in the game in this magnitude before TJ.
- 52:36Speaker 2: Pledger played in the playoff game for Oklahoma. Three tight
- 52:41Speaker 2: ends left wide receiver Covey right Pledger in the backfield,
- 52:45Speaker 2: first in fifteen, rising to pass, looking firing over the middle,
- 52:48Speaker 2: caught by Covey's still on his feet and tripped up
- 52:50Speaker 2: and taken down at the Oregon forty two. He picked
- 52:53Speaker 2: up fourteen and was a shoe string away from going
- 52:56Speaker 2: the distance.
- 52:57Speaker 1: It'll be second down in one.
- 52:59Speaker 3: Yeah. See in the early Cam misses this. He throws
- 53:02Speaker 3: it a little load, and see how he hits Covey
- 53:04Speaker 3: in a spot where he can run. Put that corner
- 53:08Speaker 3: on an island. He's got to make a tackle or
- 53:10Speaker 3: it becomes a big play. And for a little guy man,
- 53:12Speaker 3: Covey is just he's tough. He is a tough little runner.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Clock continuing to run at seven ten to play here
- 53:18Speaker 2: the first half fourteen nothing Utah. That Oregon defense has
- 53:21Speaker 2: been on the field a lot. Here in the first half,
- 53:24Speaker 2: Thomas the back of the backfield. Three tight ends, shifting
- 53:27Speaker 2: around wide receiver Jalen Dixon, this might be a shot
- 53:32Speaker 2: play Scott. Here it is handoff. Tab On Thomas pushes
- 53:36Speaker 2: the pile very close to first down yard.
- 53:38Speaker 1: He dropped that left hand side.
- 53:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they gave it to him.
- 53:41Speaker 1: I don't think they did either.
- 53:42Speaker 2: I think he's about a half yard maybe a link
- 53:43Speaker 2: to the football shy here. They'll be third down and
- 53:46Speaker 2: very short coming up.
- 53:47Speaker 1: Here for Utah.
- 53:48Speaker 2: Well, I thought they might play action and take that
- 53:50Speaker 2: shot to Jalen Dixon who had man coverage, no safety
- 53:53Speaker 2: over the top.
- 53:53Speaker 3: Well, they had nobody. I mean, they had ten guys
- 53:56Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage. They just said we are
- 53:58Speaker 3: not going to let you run the ball, and they're
- 54:00Speaker 3: gonna do the same thing right.
- 54:01Speaker 2: Here, third and half a yard rising under center. Three
- 54:08Speaker 2: tight ends here for Utah. Cam turns and gives it
- 54:10Speaker 2: again taby On Thomas, leaf liquor. They're going down the field.
- 54:14Speaker 2: They've got a wide receiver opened down the field and
- 54:16Speaker 2: they miss him. De von Veley was covered pretty well,
- 54:21Speaker 2: but he had a step and that's gonna bring up
- 54:23Speaker 2: fourth down and about half a yard here for Utah.
- 54:26Speaker 3: Yeah, Utah taking a shot right there meant that if
- 54:29Speaker 3: they didn't get it. They're going to go for it
- 54:31Speaker 3: on fourth down. Here, it looked like he got bumped
- 54:33Speaker 3: here because this is a pretty good throw, I mean
- 54:37Speaker 3: right there.
- 54:39Speaker 2: Well, he ran that to the outside, Cam through it
- 54:41Speaker 2: to the inside. So here we go fourth and half
- 54:43Speaker 2: a yard for Utah speed option.
- 54:46Speaker 3: Here Scott or quarterback draw snap.
- 54:52Speaker 2: Back Rising keeping it first down yard. He's thirty five,
- 54:55Speaker 2: stowing his feet thirty and taking down ball goals out
- 54:58Speaker 2: of bounds.
- 54:59Speaker 1: Oh, Utah, which is a break.
- 55:00Speaker 2: Cam fumbled the football and it goes out of bounds
- 55:03Speaker 2: at the Utah twenty five yard line. He picked up
- 55:05Speaker 2: fifteen on the play, but that ball was knocked out
- 55:08Speaker 2: from behind on a good play here, the.
- 55:10Speaker 6: Ball was fumbled forward and out of bounds. Ball we
- 55:12Speaker 6: placed at the fumbling spot. Result of the plays the first.
- 55:15Speaker 2: Down Tyquest Bridges knocked it away from Rising, but Utah's
- 55:19Speaker 2: drive stays alive here.
- 55:21Speaker 3: Yeah, Bridges does a nice job from the outside here.
- 55:23Speaker 3: Cam doesn't see him or feeling Nope, And that ball
- 55:28Speaker 3: just sat there on the ground for a long long time.
- 55:31Speaker 2: Maybe that's your night when you know that happens. We'll
- 55:33Speaker 2: see first and ten from the Oregon thirty yard line.
- 55:38Speaker 2: Inside of six to play. Here, Tabion Thomas in the backfield,
- 55:41Speaker 2: rising to pass, Cam looking stepping, firing it long, he
- 55:47Speaker 2: has it intercepted. The ball was deflected at the line
- 55:51Speaker 2: of scrimmage. The intercepted by the Oregon defense. Coron McKinley
- 55:55Speaker 2: came up with it. That was just a wounded duck.
- 55:57Speaker 2: After the deflection, he was trying to go down the
- 55:58Speaker 2: field to Gecay.
- 56:00Speaker 3: Yeah, and Oregon just doesn't. They come with pressure here
- 56:03Speaker 3: and they get to him late.
- 56:05Speaker 2: He got hit right as he threw it, and McKinley
- 56:10Speaker 2: came up with the interception.
- 56:11Speaker 1: Time out on the field.
- 56:13Speaker 2: Two interceptions by cam Rising to the defense bail him
- 56:17Speaker 2: out again. Fourteen to nothing, Utah with five forty to
- 56:20Speaker 2: play here the first half. It's you got football from
- 56:22Speaker 2: their field back inside of Allegiant Stadium. Got five minutes
- 56:26Speaker 2: and forty seconds to play here the first half. Cam
- 56:28Speaker 2: Rising second interception of the day, though this time he
- 56:32Speaker 2: was built at as he threw it. Gives Oregon the
- 56:34Speaker 2: ball back first and ten at their own roughly twenty
- 56:36Speaker 2: yard line. Here, Scott, what did you see on the play?
- 56:38Speaker 3: Well? And Oregon ran a stunt and it really was
- 56:42Speaker 3: it was it was the offside tackle came all the
- 56:45Speaker 3: way around to the Utah right side and those outside
- 56:50Speaker 3: guys crash in. Took a little bit time to get them,
- 56:53Speaker 3: but they got there and Utah just didn't didn't read
- 56:55Speaker 3: it right up front and got a guy in Cam's
- 56:58Speaker 3: face and you know, he just got hits. It's unfortunate,
- 57:00Speaker 3: but you know, you're running the ball and you're just
- 57:04Speaker 3: kind of quicker hitting stuff. Is really what's been working
- 57:08Speaker 3: against Oregon. That that that one took a long time
- 57:10Speaker 3: to develop. Those last two shot plays. It's took a
- 57:14Speaker 3: long time. And Oregon they're they're they're bringing some pretty
- 57:18Speaker 3: good pressure here against Utah.
- 57:19Speaker 2: They played better defensively tonight. There's no doubt about that.
- 57:22Speaker 2: It's fourteen to nothing though, Utah on our first half
- 57:24Speaker 2: being brought to you by bud Light, welcoming to fans
- 57:27Speaker 2: right here to Allegian Stadium.
- 57:28Speaker 1: Butt Light is for the fans.
- 57:30Speaker 2: I'm Bill Riley, That's Scott Mitchell, Stevenson, Sylvester Matt Roblez,
- 57:35Speaker 2: Dave spatafour, Alonzo Satiana, Travis downstairs, and of course James
- 57:39Speaker 2: Peterson back at the studio. Glad to be with you tonight.
- 57:45Speaker 2: On a championship Friday night. So let's see what the
- 57:51Speaker 2: Utah defense can do again. They've done a pretty good job.
- 57:56Speaker 2: Anthony Brown leaves the offense back out again five point forty.
- 57:59Speaker 1: To play before halftime.
- 58:04Speaker 2: Oregon fans to their feet, trying to get this team
- 58:07Speaker 2: going a little bit. Here Brown in the shotgun, six
- 58:15Speaker 2: of the box for Utah. Play action pass right up
- 58:21Speaker 2: the middle coming after Brown. He throws it away and
- 58:24Speaker 2: he complete.
- 58:26Speaker 5: Number twenty six. Was a receiver in the area that
- 58:28Speaker 5: passes in complete?
- 58:30Speaker 2: Who will put the pressure on that time, Scott. He
- 58:33Speaker 2: just had to throw it away.
- 58:34Speaker 3: Yeah, great, great job by here, Utah kind of disguising
- 58:37Speaker 3: it's a run blitz looks like actually Oregon's gonna run
- 58:40Speaker 3: a screen and Utah just just ran and blitz right
- 58:44Speaker 3: into it perfectly. Well.
- 58:46Speaker 1: They had the screen man covered too.
- 58:48Speaker 2: Second down and ten round again in the shotgun, Die
- 58:52Speaker 2: stays with him in the backfield hand off, Travis Dyed
- 58:58Speaker 2: dancing in the hole up and Nephi Sewell got him
- 59:02Speaker 2: in about the twenty four yard line, a gain of four.
- 59:05Speaker 1: I'll bring him third down and six here for the Ducks.
- 59:09Speaker 3: Yeah, just good recognition here by and by.
- 59:13Speaker 2: The Utah defense. Ducks are oh for four on third down.
- 59:16Speaker 2: They're checking with the sideline here, clock running at five
- 59:20Speaker 2: ten to play here the first half and now the
- 59:22Speaker 2: Utah fans getting loud zero for four on third down.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Die stays in the backfield. Utah with just a four
- 59:31Speaker 2: man down front. Now the motion die out of the backfield.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Anthony Brown looking looking firing over the middle, and that's
- 59:41Speaker 2: not gonna be enough for first down yardage. He hit
- 59:43Speaker 2: Travis Die, but Travis Dye only got a yard and the
- 59:47Speaker 2: Utah defense does it again. Devin Lloyd was again just
- 59:49Speaker 2: reading Brown's eyes and stepped right there. That was the
- 59:52Speaker 2: ball he picked off earlier.
- 59:53Speaker 3: Well, and this is where Utah is not running pressure
- 59:56Speaker 3: against Oregon.
- 59:57Speaker 5: Number eight is played as eighty five.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: Well, mate Ale was there on the tackle as well.
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: In Britton Covey, we'll have another crack and a punt
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: return here from his own thirty two. Tom Snee is
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: kicked to him every time. Would Oregon dare fake it
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: right here? Scott Snee takes the kick pressure there away,
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: it goes. Covey's gonna come over in fair catch it
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: at about the twenty seven yard line. So much for
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: his pledge, not the fair catch, but a smart moved
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: by Britton Covey. And with four h four to play
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: here before halftime, Utah will have it first in ten
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: with a seventy seven yard if you'd make it a
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: seventy three yard field in front of him, it's Utah
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: fourteen in Oregon. Nothing for the big o'd tires broadcast
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: booth here at the Legion Stadium. This is Utah football
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: from their field and Riiseckel Stadium. There's twenty two seconds
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: of loudness between the third and fourth quarter or the
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: Legion Stadium tonight. And we just got our twenty two
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: seconds of loudness with four h four to play here
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: at the end of the first half. Another great message,
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: another great turnout by Utah fans, and the noise was
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: again deafening. Fourteen nothing Utah. They've got it first and
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: ten at their own twenty seven yard line. Scott, Oregon's
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: gonna get the ball to begin in the second half.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: But what would a scoring drive of any kind, any
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: kind of points right here do for Utah going into
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: the locker room?
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Utah has moved the ball. The only
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: thing that's happened they've had the two turnovers that they
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: have kept them out of the end. Zo. I mean,
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: you know, you just got to finish these drives. And
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: it's so critical right here. Utah has got to answer
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: back and get something on the on the board here before.
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: Halftime fourteen nothing Utah. Our first half being brought to
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: you by c R. England committed to fighting childhood hunger.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: They've got nearly seven mildred and hungry children since twenty eighteen.
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: If you want to help them out, text fight hunger
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: to forty one four to four four.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: That's tech, fight hunger to.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: Forty one four to four four to help fed hungry
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: children in our community. So first and ten for Cam
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Rising and the University of Utah. Cam's not had a
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: great first half. He's made a couple of mistakes. See
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: if they can get back on track here, two tights,
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: two wides, tab on Thomas the back of the backfield,
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: and again Oregon committing to stop the run. With seven
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: in the box, Rising turns and gibbs and flags fly
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: and there's gonna be motion on Utah.
- 1:02:23Speaker 6: Prior to the snap falls start offense number seventeen five
- 1:02:27Speaker 6: yard penalty first.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: Out Devon Veley, who was not even part of the play,
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: went early. Those are the things you can't have now.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: First and ten becomes first in fifteen back of the
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: twenty one yard line.
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: No, and you say this all the time. I mean
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: you're supposed to go on movement like like you just
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: go on movement. I mean wide receivers going off sides
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: is just that's like fingernails on.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: A chalkboardn't you Three tight ends right here on first
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: in fifteen tab on Thomas cam shifting tight ends around.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: Now Maley the wide receiver wide to the inside, turning
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: to give to Tavyon. He's gonna bounce it outside twenty five,
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: twenty six give him the twenty five I gave him
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: about four on first and fifteen brings up second down
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: at eleven.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: The clock continues to.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: Run here with three fifty to play before halftime.
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the first time Utah has shown that
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: counter and it worked well. You know the kind of
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: ceiling off that edge there have the motion that the
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: movement go one way and then you counter back to
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: the other side. This defense very aggressive, you know, slanting,
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: and so you cutbacks are always always good against defensive.
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: Second down at eleven three tights Again, Tavyan stays at
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: the ball game, Cam backs up into the shotgup. Oregon
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: was six at the line. Cam's gonna pass. Luke's fires outside,
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: it's caught on his feet. Beyond first down, the yardage
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: goes Bray at Keithy to the thirty seven yard line
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: and a first mile, first down, quick hitter to Keithy
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: and Utah boost to sticks Well.
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: And this is you know, running straight ahead and finding
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: the hole. Is where the throws are right now against
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: Oregon because they're just kind of in the zone. And
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: you know that slant route earlier that that worked the
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: first game, but Oregon's playing a little bit different right now.
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: And sit down the hole and get a first down.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: Three receivers and pledgure of the ball game with rising
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: on first and ten, Cam's gonna change the play now.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Plock at two fifty to play.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: Here the first half backpedals to pass, looking looking looking
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: throwing down the field.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: Has a man open off his hands in deplete. Where
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: was the flag?
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: He was trying to get that the covey there looked
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: like there was contact down the Field's.
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: Got yeah, there was contact down the field and uh,
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: you know, just right down. I mean, guy just pushing
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: him right in the back. Man. I don't know how
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: that's not a pass interference because it impeded Covey's motion.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: That was a perfect throw right there. It just I
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: don't get these officials sometimes. That's an easy, easy.
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: One second down in ten tab on back of the
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: ball game.
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: Three wides again at a tight end of the right slot,
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: rising backs in of the shotgun bolts to throw throws
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: outside complete there, Kincaid catches and gets it out to
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: about the forty four yard line to bring up to
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: third down at about three pitch and catch of seven.
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's one of those mismatches again. And I
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: really like Kincaid in this game in that situation. Gotta
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: feel it just a little bit better because this just
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: should be more than just you know, eight yards. I mean,
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: you should get the first down in that situation.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: Third down in three for the US, they're two out
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: of six on third down, rising under center Thomas behind him,
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: argue with eight at the line, hand off tavy On Thomas,
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: cut back tavy On Thomas, very close to first down yardage.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: I think they're gonna give it to it. They do
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: out to the forty seven yard line for a pickup
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: of three. As he spun his way to a first
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: down that time, tavy On Thomas, Yeah, I.
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: Better run there, and that was close to getting broke.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: But I love when those officials they before it, you said,
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: just come on, we got a first down here. There's
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: no guesswork to it.
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: In a minute fifty three to play here before halftime,
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: fourteen to nothing, Utah just shy of midfield first and
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: ten Solomoninus wide left, Vley and Kincaid wide right. Thomas
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: stays at the ball game. Now they shift the tight
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: ends inside Kincaid on the right side, Oregon showing a
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: run blitz.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: They handed again.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: Tavy On Thomas breaks through fifty, stays on his feet,
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: pushes the pile forty five forty four yard line goes
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: taviy On Thomas for a game of nine. A gaggle
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: of ducks got him that time. Without'll be nine yards
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: second down and one coming up. Clock still running those guy.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: With a minute nineteen to play, Utah has got all
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: three timeouts.
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: Yeah, that left side running is where Utah has had success.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: Here they go no huddle, turning a give again. Tavy
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: on Thomas dancing in the hole down to the forty
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: yard line forty one, and that will stop the clock
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: ever so slightly. With the first down, they'll move the
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: chains minute seven to play. Utah gonna go without a
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: huddle here Thomas stays at the ball game for a
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: wide look here for Utah and what do we have?
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: A time out taken by the Oregon Ducks.
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: First charge timeout, Oregon time out on the field.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: We'll take the time out with them here with a
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: minute one to play before halftime in Utah on the move,
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: leading fourteen to nothing. Here at the PAC twelve championship
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: game in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is Utah football from
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: their field back inside of a Legion Stadium, a beautiful
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: building about seventy percent full of Utah fans plus Utah
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: fans listening all over the country tonight and around the
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: city of Salt Lake in places like Harem in Utah.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: Friend of the broadcast team, Sondron, thank you for tuning
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: in tonight. Good to have you with us. Listening in
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: down in Utah County as well. Vinyard checking in this evening.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Good to have them with us. Logan Ogden, ok Town
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: Salt Lake City and around the world really on our
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: streaming app and more. It's good to have Utah fans
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas, but also zo listening in around
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: the world's got I know, you've got a lot of
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: friends in family. I've got friends in Kansas City, family
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: in Kansas City. My friend Ron lewis tuning in from
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: Jacksonville Beach, Florida night.
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I got some Florida folks and got folks well,
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: you know, in Utah.
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: Everywhere you got folks.
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: Yeah, because I might even have some folks in Mexico
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: right now.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: Really, yeah, Ola to our friends in Mexico listening in
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: to Utah football tonight wherever you might be. Fourteen to
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: nothing you so, we've got a minute one to play
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: before halftime. In the first half, it's been predominantly dominated
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: by Utah. Frankly, this score maybe not indicative to the
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: Utah dominance. Two interceptions by Cam Rising has kept this
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: score from going a lot higher. It's they've got first
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: intent at the Oregon forty one yard line. A touchdown
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: would be great, but even three points would be huge
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: here right, Yeah.
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: And this has been the area of the field where
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: Utah has kind of struggled. It's like they've they've very
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: efficiently moved the ball down the field, and then they
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: kind of take these shot plays or get a little
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: bit almost too greedy in this situation and get away
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: from what's really working, because I think Oregon's about ready
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: to get a little tired here. The run game seems
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: to be opening up just a little bit, and you's
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: got to get past this part of the field.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: First inten Utah cam in the shotgun with a four
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: wide look here, back pedals, look surveys, throws in the flat,
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: nearly intercepted, old goodness, and pass interference is going to
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: be called on the Oregon Ducks.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: They tried to get.
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: That ball to Keithy DJ James may have gotten there early.
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: He did, oh yeah, and the Oregon will uh, they'll
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: pass interference.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: You now make make you throw the flag.
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not super disciplined on a lot of these.
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: Because that's really might be a makeup call for that
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: last one on Covey dangerous throw by cam.
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: They actually called that five yards off spot of the foul,
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: so it'll be first intent at the Oregon thirty six
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: now with fifty seven seconds to play, I'll need another
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: ten yards to be comfortably in Jayden Redding's field goal range.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: But I think they're th can touchdown right now, Cam
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: of the gun again, the laid handoff TJ Pledger. TJ
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: breaks the tackle, breaks through the hole, pushes his way
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: toward the thirty two, and Kyle Winnigan kicks the time out.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Utah's first got a bad hard run.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: That time flog timeout ut picked up when there was
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: really nothing there.
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: Now, it was a great job by player because he's
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: he's got dead in the backfield and just does a
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: good job of kind of lowering his center to center
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: the center and just staying staying tough. You know, don't
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: get tackled in your legs. You can, you can break
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: a lot of tackles.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: So second down in six coming up. Utah's got two
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: timeouts remaining. Oregon has two timeouts remaining as well, I believe,
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: but they're they're not likely to use their timeouts, not
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: with just forty fifty seconds to play before halftimes.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: We'll try and hold.
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: So that play right there. Oregon, they've been showing zone
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: zone then they show blitz right here. So second down,
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: what are they? What are they gonna do. Are they
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: gonna blitz again? They're gonna play back play zone because
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: because Utah could run the ball again here because Kyle
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: might be a little bit nervous with a couple of
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: interceptions and Cam's thrown. But they can run the ball
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: because they have timeouts. They might catch catch. The Organ's
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: in a deep two deep zone and that's good to
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: run against.
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: From the Oregon thirty two second down and six, Cam
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: again in the gun. Cam will pass this time out
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: of the gun. Cam scrambling to the upside, taken down
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: back of the forty yard line, Cavon Tibodeau making a
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: play second.
- 1:11:27Speaker 6: Charge timeout Utah thirty seconds.
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: Well, you knew you weren't going to hold him down forever, Scott,
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: And that time Braydon Daniels got beat on the sack
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: and that's going to bring up third down in long
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: here for Utah with forty six seconds to play.
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and Keevon's showing it. I mean, I mean, they
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: had more guys than you could talk and block right there.
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: But Kevon's come from from the right side. He's come
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: over Keaton Bills, He's come all the way from the
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: outside left. I mean when you get in a in
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: a passing situation where Utah, you know, there kind of
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: are in these in these and he's you know, with
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: this two minute drill. You know, that's when that's when
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: Thibodeau has really really at his best here. That's why
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: you have to still respect it. You gotta respect the guy,
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: and you gotta you know, run a screen off of him,
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: or or or run the ball again. You thought runs
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: a ball in that situation might be another.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: Well, they had the screen, they had the screen to pledgeer.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: He just didn't see it. So third down and fourteen here,
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: you don't need to get the entire first down to
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: get it Redding's field goal range.
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: But you gotta pick something up.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: McKay Bernard at the ball game, Oregon shifting around up front.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: They're gonna bring pressure here. Rising to pass went gam
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: lots of time down the field, caught fifteen thirteen ten
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: yard line Dalton kink yards pluck stops with thirty nine
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: seconds to play at the eleven yard line, Utah doesn't
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: have to spike it.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: They can run a play right here.
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: First and ten at the Oregon eleven and whether we
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: have a time out, taking by the ducks.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: That bails Utah.
- 1:12:58Speaker 5: Out right there, fine out Oregon.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: And what a catch by Kate after kicking that.
- 1:13:04Speaker 5: That really is And.
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: This is where Cam Rising's really grown up. I mean
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: he's thrown a couple of tough interceptions, he's been hit
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: a little bill and and he stays tough in that pocket.
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: I mean he got a two deep zone there and
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: he throws that, I mean on the money, just a great, great,
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: great throw. And of course Ken Kate is a guy
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: that you know, he's kind of our X factor guy. Uh,
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: and he's making plays and that's a money, money throw.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: The one thing you can't do here is make a mistake.
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: You're in field goal range. You've got money in the
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: bank right now, but you've got thirty five seconds one
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: time out of only eleven yards to go. Really, the
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: entire playbooks open to you, hear Scott Well.
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: And where Utah has been really good is is you
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: know Tavi on Thomas down here on his goal line.
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: I mean, he's just been he has been a tough,
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: tough competitor.
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: Second trip into the University Federal Credit Union red zone
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: tonight for Utah.
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: But when Rising looks at his his wristband and calls
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: the play. Usually plays are a lot more than run plays.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna be a fast right.
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: Here, Mackai Bernard.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: Two tight ends, two wide receivers here for Utah near
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: the goal line, first and ten from the eleven yard line,
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: rising in the shotgun surveying the defense, claps his hands,
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: takes the snaff cam looking, surveying, looking, throwing into the
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: end zone.
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: Had his man at the five wide.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: Open Dalton Kinkaid missed him, that would have been a
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: walk in touchdown.
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: Oh he had him.
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: Sometimes they're the hardest throws there is cam. You know,
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: his patient just kind of put it right on his body.
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: Well, he thought Kincaid was going to keep running, I think,
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: and Dalton just settled down at about the five yard line.
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: I mean, your wide open, why run and risk it?
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: You know, second down and ten at the eleven yard line.
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised to see a run er, maybe
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: even a rising keeper here Scott Pledger in the ball game,
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: three wide receivers right, one tight end Kinkaid to the
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: left hand side, Oregon with five near the line, rising,
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: changing the.
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: Now a timeout, taking.
- 1:15:03Speaker 6: Down to the play game time out, third and final
- 1:15:06Speaker 6: Utah third and third and final.
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: Play clock was running down that time. That's okay, And
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham's saying that on the sideline right now, that's okay.
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: Take your time, get the play right here.
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: Second down in tent the Oregon eleven yard line.
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: Yeah, you have that time out, though, you just open
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: up a lot more plays that you can run. I mean,
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: I guess, I guess.
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: You don't have to.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: You're not going very far if you have to get
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: back to the line of scrimmage again here, Scott.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not like you're play down the field and.
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: You could possibly call two plays right here.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: You know, if you don't score second down in ten
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: Utah leading fourteen to nothing with thirty one seconds to
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: play here in the half, and they've got it at
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: the Oregon eleven yard line. They dealt a real blow
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: to the Ducks right before halftime in Salt Lake City.
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: Can they do the same thing here?
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: Pledger three receivers right, can Kate on the left hand side,
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: rising in the gun. Morgan's showing some pressure. Now they'll
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: rush just four Cam looking throwing end zone.
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: Caught touchdown, touchdown, Dalton.
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: Kincaid Well he missed him to play before, but he
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: didn't miss him.
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: There kN Kate into the end zone for six.
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: Yea. It's just a really nice this a two deep
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: zone here. You get a guy high and you get
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: a guy low, and of course Oregon picked wrong and
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: they took the short guy and the deep guy was open.
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: Seventh touchdown of the year, a PEPSI touchdown for Dalton Kincaid.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: Here's Jaydon Reddings.
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: Pat to make it twenty one to nothing, and it's
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: a broken play. They throw it toward the end zone
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: and it's incomplete. It was a bad snap. Williams didn't
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: handle it well and that pat is no good. Timing
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: was all throwed off on that thing. So the pat
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: isn't good. It's u taw twenty in Oregon nothing with
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: twenty seven seconds to play here the first half.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: But how about that play call?
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: And again great poised by rising in all kinds of time,
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: didn't panic, didn't go and he just knew that he
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: had what you said.
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: He knew he had that cushion in the back of
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: the end zone.
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: And what you have is you have a short guy
- 1:17:20Speaker 3: running an option route the back, and then you have
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: Ken Kaid on the back side. This is kind of
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: an evolution of that backside where you have the wider,
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: you have the tight end and the running back. And
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: they had three Oregon guys took the running back and
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: only one guy took the Oh yeah, that dropped that
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: extra point. But you only have one guy who's covering
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: the tight end and he's on the outside.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Twelve plays, seventy four yards, three thirty seven off the
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: game clock. Rising was four of six for fifty nine
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: yards in the touchdown on the drive, and Dalton Kincaid
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: has his seventh touchdown of the season. Rand Keithy has six,
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: Dalton Kinkate now has seven.
- 1:17:58Speaker 3: What's interesting is Cam hits those tough throws, those sea
- 1:18:01Speaker 3: routes of those tight ends, and the guy that was
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: wide open, he kind of missed it, but he's That's
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: probably the best throw he makes, is that two deep
- 1:18:08Speaker 3: seam throw to the tight end.
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Jordan Noys kicks it on the ground, it hops up,
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: skips around, is taking it about the twenty yard line
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: by McGee. I mean he's ushered out of bounds on
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: the Organ sideline at about the twenty six yard line
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: with twenty four seconds to play before halftime. Well, last
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: time they were in this position, they tried to throw
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: the ball and gave it back to Utah. The difference
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: here is you thought that that any time outs left,
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: we'll see what they decide to do right here with
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: Anthony Brown.
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I would almost I would almost bet that Oregon
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: is gonna take a knee right here.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: They will not three wide receivers here and Travis die
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: down twenty to nothing. Oregon's not gonna take a knee
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: in the shotgun, Anthony Brown would die.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: Next to him.
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: He's gonna drop the pass, looking looking, looking, firing over
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: the middle, nearly intercept it. Oh goodness, Clark Phillips almost
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: came up with a pick in the forty five yard
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: line as he dove in front of Troy Franklin. Heck
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: of a play. That's the tenth pass defense this year
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: by Clark Phillips. He's second at the Pack twelve conference.
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: Yeah, and you don't don't burn a time out there, Clark.
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: He got there so quick he almost could come through
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: and just that thing almost over.
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: Random play.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: They're gonna pass again, It appears we'll see maybe they'll
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: hand off to die and get the halftime Brown in
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: the shotgun on second and ten with eighteen seconds to play. Nope,
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: he's gonna pass again. Pressure up the middle, chasing him
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: to the outside. Anthony Brown looking looking, looking, and now
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: finally steps out of bounds and he'll take a loss
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: on the play.
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: Or did he throw it?
- 1:19:54Speaker 7: Threw it?
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: He threw it, wasn't picked off by Utah.
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: I think Utah came up with a football. Oh my goodness,
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: what was Anthony Brown doing?
- 1:20:07Speaker 5: He threw it.
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: He threw the ball.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: Before he went out of bounds and Utah intercepts it.
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: That's Malone mon to Ala on the tip and there's
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: eight seconds to play.
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: Here before halftime.
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: Utah's got it at the Oregon thirty seven yard line.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: What is Anthony Brown doing?
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: He's he's he left the field and he threw it
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: from about four yards out of bounds.
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: Wow, So Utah will have time for maybe one play
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: Scott and then maybe a field goal.
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: I mean they're gonna are they looking at display to
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: make sure he he threw it?
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: Clearly it's it's an interception.
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: Maybe the worst decision of Anthony Brown's career.
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: Wow. Well, if it turns into points, it's gonna be awful.
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: So Utah needs probably five or six yards to give
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: Jayden Redad a chance. Here rising in the gun, two
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: receivers right, two receivers left here, and flags fly, and
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: that's going to be procedure on Utah prior.
- 1:21:11Speaker 5: To the snap, third and final time.
- 1:21:13Speaker 6: Oh well, thirty seconds in length.
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: I think it was gonna be procedure on Utah.
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: And they bled They blew the whistle, and so Utah
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: now will get the benefit of the Oregon time out.
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: Eight seconds from the Oregon thirty seven. Jayden Redding's long
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: field goal forty seven yards this year. Yeah, you want
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: to give him a chance. You probably have to pick
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: up about seven or eight yards and what are you
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: what You're gonna have to do it outside?
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: Well, but what you can either run the wide receiver
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: because they're playing the kind of shell four deep quarters
- 1:21:49Speaker 3: coverage the outside receivers are are. They're one on one
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: if the inside guy will run vertical, so you can
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: just run a quick out or an out with your
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: outside or you can run your outside receiver deep and
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: run your inside guy on an out and uh and
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: maybe get a little bit more more yardage.
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: Four wide look here, pleasure in the backfield. Only eight
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: seconds remain. You can't take a sack here if you're rising,
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: Cam look looking, looking, firing outside. Covey caught it and
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: out of bounds at the thirty two yard line. That
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: takes three seconds off the clock. And here comes the
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: field goal team, So Jayden Redding will get a chance
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: to attempt about a forty nine yard field goal here
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: from the left.
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: Hash and Utah did that. They running outside receiver and
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: did a nice job of getting Covey to the boundary
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: and legitimate shot for a field goal.
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: This will be a fifty yard attempt. It will go
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: down at the forty yard line for the left Hash.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: Snap's gonna have to be better this time. Snap back,
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: pulled down, kick is away, it's high, it's end over end.
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: And it's good.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: It's good Jake reading from fifty yards away at the gun,
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: use you toad twenty What an inexplicable end and a
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: half again for the Oregon Ducks, twenty three to nothing.
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: Utah Scott Dave.
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: Trailed twenty to nothing at halftime in the championship game
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen.
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: Tonight they leaded twenty three to nothing.
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: Well, the Oregon's hating itself right now, really really poorly
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: ill advised play by Anthony Brown. But it's that pressure
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: you feel like you start forcing things in this Utah team. Really,
- 1:23:31Speaker 3: really it should be a lot more than twenty three points.
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: I mean, Utah's had a dominant half, moved the ball, turnovers,
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: just kept this game close. But Utah's defense is just
- 1:23:40Speaker 3: playing lights out right now.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: They are playing fantastic.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: Our friend Holly Road talking to Kyle winning him for ABC,
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: then sly will grab him here momentarily, Kyle's got to
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: be thrilled with what he has. Utah thirty minutes away
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: from punching their ticket to Pasadena, and here comes Slide
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: with co go aheads.
- 1:24:00Speaker 4: Coach played great defense, straight out of Coach winning a
- 1:24:03Speaker 4: Hair's playbook.
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: Talk about this defense, that's what that's what's been the
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: key in this first half.
- 1:24:07Speaker 7: Guys are smothering.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: They can't get anything going, and we got to keep that.
- 1:24:11Speaker 3: Going in the second half.
- 1:24:12Speaker 4: It's twenty four zero, but two turnovers and some penalties.
- 1:24:15Speaker 7: How do we crush at the rest of this game.
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: We'll always gotta finish, gotta keep playing harm do those.
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: All Slyon Sky and coach thank you not the correct Sly,
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: it would be twenty four nothing had it not been
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: for the miss pat but it is.
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: Twenty three to nothing. Utah.
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: They trailed twenty to nothing to the Oregon Ducks in
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: the twenty nineteen championship game. Tonight they lead it by
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: a bigger margin, and they're thirty minutes away from calling
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: themselves champions. We're back with the America First Credit Union
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: halftime show next right here from lear Field, thirty minutes down,
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: thirty minutes to go here at Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas,
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: and Utah thirty minutes away from punching their ticket to
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: the Pasadena and the Rose Bowl has packed twelve champions.
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: Riley Scott Mitchell with you upstairs, Stevenson Sylvester with us downstairs, Sly,
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: you tell us what was Kyle Whittingham's message to his
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: team there at halftime.
- 1:25:08Speaker 4: Well, just like he told me heading into the locker room,
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: is we need to finish on offense.
- 1:25:12Speaker 7: The game isn't over. But in the locker room.
- 1:25:15Speaker 4: He played he pressed that we gotta play sixty minutes,
- 1:25:18Speaker 4: sixty minutes of football, which is now thirty minutes, but
- 1:25:21Speaker 4: finish this game was what his message was.
- 1:25:23Speaker 3: To the team.
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: Thank you, Scott.
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: We watched the Oregon quarterback swarming up and Ty Thompson,
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: who's a tremendous young quarterback, the first five star ever
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: at Oregon, was down with his helmet on throwing with
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: Anthony Brown. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: didn't see one or both of those guys here in
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: the second half, Thompson by himself, or maybe they rotate
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: Brown and Thompson.
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: What are your thoughts.
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: Yeah, Brown's really startled in the first half throwing the football,
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: and you know, Oregon's gonna get more and more behind
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: here and they're gonna have to maybe be more explosive.
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: You know, it wouldn't surprise me. I mean, sometimes sometimes
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: you just have to make a change, you know, and
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: just and the guy just doesn't have it one day.
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: And right now, Anthony Brown, it doesn't look like he
- 1:26:08Speaker 3: has it, but he's but he does have his helmet on.
- 1:26:10Speaker 3: He looks like he's look like he's playing.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: The strength coach, the guy with the crazy mustache that's
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: always on TV, also known as the getback coach, was
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: was just trying to pump him up downstairs. Oregon will
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: get the ball to begin things here in the second
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: half Utah twenty three in Oregon. Nothing one thing you
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: won't want to do here if your Utah's give the
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: Ducks any hope. So if you can kind of get
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: get it three and out or even get a stop
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: on this opening series, that could really take the starts
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: out of this team.
- 1:26:37Speaker 3: Good. Well, last time Utah was up twenty eight to
- 1:26:40Speaker 3: nothing and they came out and first drive Oregon got
- 1:26:42Speaker 3: just like this, got the ball marched right down the field.
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: But you know, setting a tone early for this defense,
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: I think is is critical.
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: Jordan Noys has a teed up in his own thirty
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: five seven McGee and Chris Hudson back deep to receive
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: this kick from Noise thirty minutes from passing d for
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: the University of Utah.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: Noise.
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: His kick is high, it's end over end, it's over
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: the head of a game, out at the back of
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: the end zone. And that'll be a touchback. And let's
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: see who comes out to lead this Oregon offense. It
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: will be Anthony Brown junior at lease on this first series.
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: We'll see how he does. He was not effective in
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: the first half. He had two interceptions. One was a
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: pick six one at the very end of the half,
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: which was just inexplicable led to the Utah field goal.
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: Yeah, you almost have Oregon where they're one dimensional. They're
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: still going to try to rpo run quarterback, get him involved,
- 1:27:33Speaker 3: quick hitting throws Scott.
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: They had sixty five total yards in the first half,
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: twenty eight on the ground. Here we go first and
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: ten Oregon opening drive second half, trailing twenty three to
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: nothing to Utah from their own twenty five yard line.
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: Anthony Brown in the shotgun would die next to him
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: hand off Travis Dye threw a hole into the secondary,
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: tripped up. Finally though, in about the thirty five yard line.
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: It was Devin Lloyd who tripped him up, and that
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: was the run of the night for the Oregon Ducks.
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: Ten yards.
- 1:28:02Speaker 3: Yeah, in Oregon, they're gonna stay with this. I mean,
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: this is who they are and they're they're not going
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: to go away from it. It's that off tackle run
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: that stretched Utah just a little bit and they just
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: didn't quite get to it.
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: Four wide.
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: Look this time two left and two right here for
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: Anthony Brown on first and ten from his own thirty
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: five yard line. Die stays in the ball game. Hand
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: off again, Nope, yep, straight ahead, nothing there, Van Fillinger
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: made the stop. I thought for a minute Brown kept it,
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: but he gave it one yard game by Die. You
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: know who we have not seen tonight is the freshman
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: card Well.
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking about that at halftime and it
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: you know, maybe he's injured. I don't know, but but
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: Die is the guy who's going for him, that's for sure.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: Second down in nine, Die stays in the ball game.
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: Utah with a four man down front, Ducks with three
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: receivers and two tight ends. Brown in the shotgun. Second
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: and nine pass rush, coming right up the middle, throw
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: it to the outside. It's nearly intercepted, and there's a flag.
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: It looks like Cole Bishop might have gotten there just
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: to touch early for pass interference on Troy Franklin.
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: Yeah, it's close, because I mean he's there, you know,
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: it's it's just I know he got there early.
- 1:29:16Speaker 5: It's just pass interference defense. Number six.
- 1:29:19Speaker 6: Mall we plays in the spot of the foul includes
- 1:29:22Speaker 6: an automatic first.
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: Down its spot of the foul because it was a
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: fifteen yard play and it was fifteen yards of the
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: fifty yard line. He was just a half second too
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: soon to break that play up. So to the fifty
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: yard line. Go to Ducks here not by much.
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: Yeah, Cole's got to see that because he's right there
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: and all he has to do is just knock that
- 1:29:41Speaker 3: ball down. He doesn't even make it. Play on the ball.
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: Nope, First and ten played clock at ten. Anthony Brown,
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: Troy Die, Travis Dye in the backfield, wide receiver in
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: motion across the formation.
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: That's Thornton.
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: Brown run the speed option to the near sideline, wrapped
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: up and take it down. Van Fillinger read it. Nope,
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: check it. Cole Bishop read it and made that play,
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: so he made amends for the play a minute ago
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: and drops him for no game.
- 1:30:14Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a great read by Cole Bishop because
- 1:30:17Speaker 3: it looks like it's going to be that run pass
- 1:30:19Speaker 3: and Anthony Brown goes back to the inside and to
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: actually tackle him for no gain. It just exceptional.
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: Well makes you wonder if Anthony Brown's gunshot even throw
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: the football right now, second down intenant midfield for the
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: Ducks opening driving the second half utaw twenty three orgon
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: nothing Diye stays in the ball game. He's been the
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: loan back tonight hand off straight ahead Travis Dye forty
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: five forty down to the Utah thirty five yard line,
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: and that was mostly Travis Dye. He had the Utah
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: defense on skates going backwards. They'll give him the thirty
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: six and a fourteen yard game. And the two best
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: runs of the night have come on this drive for
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: the Oregon Ducks.
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: Well, and Devin Lloyd is right there and he just
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: misses the play and he reads it. He's just the
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: little didn't quite it played a little bit tentative, but
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: he should have had that for just a very minimal game.
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: Missed the tackle, empty backfield. Now for Brown from the
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: Utah thirty six. Brown throwing the flat, the screen out
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: in the flat to die Dies got it inside the
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: twenty five and quickly down to the Utah twenty three
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: yard line, goes Travis. I. Devin Lloyd made the tackle,
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: pressure was in the face. Nobody covered actually die in
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: the slot that time. It was an easy pitcheon kit,
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: it really was.
- 1:31:28Speaker 3: And he kind of had Utah outflink there inside pursuit.
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know why all those guys are
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: in the backfield, because there's nobody in the backfield. He
- 1:31:36Speaker 3: got to widen out the defender. That nickel defender's got
- 1:31:40Speaker 3: to widen out so he can get that play right.
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: There Hardwell in the game for the first time tonight
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: from the Utah twenty two yard line, first and ten,
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: Oregon could drive to begin the second half. Here for
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: the Ducks. Now they checked with the sideline card Well,
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: the freshman. Three receivers bunched to the left hand side
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: for Anthony Brown, hand off card Well, not much there
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: dropped right after, just pass the line of scrimmage by
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: Van Fillinger for a game of about a yard and
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: a half right on the edge of the red zone.
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: Here, good read by a Van tripped him up. Wow,
- 1:32:11Speaker 3: good job getting off a block. You know early on
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: in the air Utah struggled with this these defensive lineman.
- 1:32:16Speaker 3: But to shed the blocker and make the play is
- 1:32:19Speaker 3: a sign of maturity for that young.
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: Man, Travis die back in the ball game. Here on
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: second down and eight, gotta get to the Utah twelve
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: for a first down opening drive of the second half
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: of the Ducks eleven and a half to play here
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: in the third quarter. Three receivers right now, a motion
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: man across the formation and Brown's gonna keep it on
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: a run pass option near side line, tripped up and
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: taken down cold. Bishop did it again. That's gonna be
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: a three yard loss. Making a two yard loss back
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: to the twenty four yard line. How good is this
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: freshman Cole Bishop in the open field against Anthony Brown
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: makes a huge play.
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know so many times guys get it's
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: stiff armed, and he did. But he he just does
- 1:33:02Speaker 3: a great job of just fighting, fighting his way down
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: Anthony Brown's body and just hangs on to his legs.
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: So here we go, third down and twelve. They're zero
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: for five on third down tonight, gotta get to the
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: Utah twelve Brown and die in the backfield. They check
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: with the sideline play clock at three and now a
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: timeout taken by Oregon.
- 1:33:25Speaker 5: First choice timeout, Oregon time out on the field.
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: We'll take the time out with it with ten forty
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: one to play here in the third quarter. A big
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: third down coming up here for the Ducks early in
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: the third with Utah leading at twenty three nothing for
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: the Pac twelve Championship game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: This is Utah football from their field. Second half of
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: Utah football being brought to you by University of Utah Health.
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: Get the same great care the Utes Trust visit you
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: of you Health dot org. Slash utes from the Legion Stadium.
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: It's Pack twelve Championship football. We've got ten forty one
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: to play here in the third Utah twenty three Oregon nothing.
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: Cole Bishop has come up with a bunch of big
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: plays on this drive for Utah.
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: Yeah, and even the past interference was was not a
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: bad play because he he really was just in the
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: in the right spot there. He just just just didn't
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: play the ball very well.
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: You taught a player in the medical ten. It was
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: Vontae Davis in the medical ten for Utah. So we'll
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: keep an eye on that safety. Look here, coming out
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: of the time outs, third down and twelve Ducks have
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: not converted a third down tonight. They're zero for five
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: on third down. And he just wonders, Scott. I mean,
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: the kickers missed three field goals against Utah this year.
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: You're down four scores really right now? Three touchdowns don't
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: even get you back in the game. You know, if
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: you pick up anything on this on this third down,
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: do you think about going for it on fourth down,
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: if you're Oregon, or do you just get some points?
- 1:34:49Speaker 4: Now?
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: I think you you know, if you get get get
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: a manageable fourth down, yeah you do it. But if
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: you're you know, if you're fourth down and twelve again
- 1:34:58Speaker 3: or fourth down and eight, you know that's a tough order.
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: No. Vonte Davis, Brandon McKinnie in here on third down
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: and twelve Ducks come off the sideline. Utah fans come
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: to their feet. Two receivers right, two left, Travis Dye
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: in the backfield, keep an eye on him arrowing out
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: of the backfield on a screen. Utah was six near
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage right now, showing pressure. Now they
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: back out of it, Brown looking surveying, firing down the middle.
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: It's caught and then dropped at the goal line. Oh
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: my goodness. He had Devin Williams at six foot five
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: who could have turned it, had a touchdown, but he
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: dropped it incomplete. See if that ball was knocked away
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: and knocked out out of his hands. Here Bishop making
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: the read and it just went through his gut. Cole helped,
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: but that's just a drop. So a forty two yard
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: field goal here for Camden Lewis trying to get the
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: Ducks on the board here, he's oh for Utah this year.
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: Williams thought he was gonna get hit hard there and
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: just dropped.
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: It left ash good, snap, good hold, kick is away
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: and it is.
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: Good and so the Oregon Ducks.
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: It took him thirty minutes, thirty four minutes and twenty
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: eight seconds to get points. But here we are three
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: points on the board. Came to Lewis a forty two
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: yard field goal. But honest to goodness, Scott, you almost
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: count that as a win for the Utah defense as
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: well as they played here tonight. Nine plays, fifty one
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: yard score, twenty eight off the game clock, and a
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: good job of the Utah defense.
- 1:36:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't think you you know, you
- 1:36:38Speaker 3: want to, you know, give up anything, you know, if
- 1:36:41Speaker 3: your Utah's defense. But really, really for the most part
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: played pretty well. It was it was the the pass
- 1:36:47Speaker 3: interference that was kind of the big play that really
- 1:36:49Speaker 3: kept the drive going. And or Oregon's just had a
- 1:36:53Speaker 3: hard time finding the end zone against Utah really for
- 1:36:55Speaker 3: two straight games.
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: If you're the Utah special teams, be aware here some
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: trickeration perhaps by the Oregon Ducks, and you're a.
- 1:37:03Speaker 6: Thirteen of Utah's playing a sixty nine. Thirteen is sixty nine.
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: And Utah very much aware right now the on side kick,
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: They've got six men up. Covey back deep to receive
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: the kick. He's only had one tonight. He brought it out.
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: Camden Lewis will kick it here from right to left
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: as you listen to it as we call it here
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: at Legion Stadium, right footed, boot high and end over end,
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: and Covey's gonna let it go through the end zone
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: for a touchback and Cam rising and the Utah offense
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: will come out first inten at their own twenty five
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: yard line.
- 1:37:40Speaker 3: And I think Utah really needs to establish and really
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: work on that run game here. And you know a
- 1:37:47Speaker 3: lot of those the counter run was worked well. See
- 1:37:50Speaker 3: if Utah goes back to running to the left side,
- 1:37:53Speaker 3: we talked about that earlier. But this, you know, just
- 1:37:56Speaker 3: wearing down this Oregon defense and just they can sustained
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: another long drive. It just it just really takes a
- 1:38:03Speaker 3: toll on a defense.
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: Utah breaks the huddle, two receivers to the right hand,
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: left hand side, one to the right hand side. Tavian
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: Thomas in the ball game. Now they bring the tight
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: ends in tight first and ten Utah for the twenty
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: five turning a give tab On Thomas dancing, pushing, moving
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: and getting forward for about the ball. Did the ball
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: come out? Oregon's saying the ball came out. Referee on
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: the far sideline saying that Tavion Thomas was down and
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: he was three yard game.
- 1:38:36Speaker 5: All was fumbled and recovered by Utah second down.
- 1:38:39Speaker 3: He wasn't down. He definitely fumbled the ball.
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: Yep, he pulled it back in though thankfully for the utes.
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: Please reset the play clock to twenty.
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: Five second down in seven. Tavian does stay in the
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: ball game though, two tights, two wides here for Utah,
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: rising turns gives it again tavy On Thomas following his
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: blockers to the outside, pushing him to the outside, then
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: belt it out of bounds at about the thirty two
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: yard line. He'll pick up four. No assule knocked him
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: out of bounds. They'll be third down at about three
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: coming up here for Utah.
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: Yeah, Utah has got to get on their horse right there,
- 1:39:15Speaker 3: because they had the edge of those linemen were just
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: kind of.
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't pushing up field.
- 1:39:20Speaker 3: Now they were just lumbering around a little bit. But again,
- 1:39:26Speaker 3: Utah is kind of running on that left side of
- 1:39:27Speaker 3: the of the formation right now.
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: Utah fifty percent on third down to nine four out
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: of eight third down and three yard line to make
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: the thirty five yard line. Rising brings Fotheringham and kin
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: Kid to the right hand side. He'll pass cool looking
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: throwing over the middle, trying to get it to Keithy.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: There was contact but no flag, and that'll bring up
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: fourth down leverage on the play by DJ James, I
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: thought he had a hold of brand Keithy right there.
- 1:39:57Speaker 3: Sure looked like it. But I'll tell you what, Oregon's
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: sold out. They didn't have anybody in center field. They
- 1:40:02Speaker 3: had ten guys at the line, scrimmage, press coverage, and
- 1:40:05Speaker 3: Utah's just got to find a way to win in
- 1:40:06Speaker 3: those situations.
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: Seven McGee back deep to receive the punt from Mike Williams.
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: You know Oregon's coming after it snap back, Mike's kick away,
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: it's high, it's end over end, it's away from McGee's
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: gonna let it hit. It takes a Utah role inside
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: the twenty, inside the fifteen, and that of the thirteen
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: yard line. Not the prettiest, but very effective for Williams.
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: Time out on the field. Fifty six yard punt, no return,
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: nine oh six to play here in the third quarter,
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: Utah twenty three, Oregon three. We're back to Allegiance Stadium
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: next right here from Learfield tonight, second half. He brought
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: to you by Mickey Cote Tour. Football season coming to
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: an end on the college side, but blanket season just
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: fire enough. Gets your Mickey Cotur blankets at any whether
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: there's six locations or order online and save fifty percent
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: with the promo code Utah fikey Co Tour the softest
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: flankets ever, Bill Riley and of course Scott Mitchell, Stevenson
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: selvester downstairs, going to be with you tonight from a
- 1:41:08Speaker 2: Legian Stadium. Ducks got a field goal and they're opening
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: drive of the second half. Todd didn't do a whole
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: lot with their possession, but they did get a good
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: pun out of Mike Williams and then it's an eighty
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: seven yard field now here from the Ducks.
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: Yeah, it was It was a fair That punt actually
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: is designed to do that where you you you kind
- 1:41:28Speaker 3: of kick it across and you get that forward role
- 1:41:30Speaker 3: and so the kick, the kick returner is expecting it
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: to be over on the right and it goes way
- 1:41:36Speaker 3: back to left and they can't. They can't get it.
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: So what do you want to see this drive?
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: Utah played a little soft Scott on that last drive
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: against Oregon. Allowed Oregon to make some throws underneath. What
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: do you want to see on this drive out of
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: Morgan See?
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: Oregon's still going to try to run a football, and
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: I liked how Utah lined up there, but they just
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: they just were kind of a little bit tentative. They're
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: not playing downhill as much reading those run keys, and
- 1:41:59Speaker 3: I mean I liked how they were playing. It wasn't
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: even played poorly.
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: Anthony Brown Junior brings the Oregon offense out first in ten,
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: trailing twenty three to three, with nine zho six to
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: play here in the third quarter, joined by Travis Dye
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: in the backfield. He's got three receivers split wide to
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: the right hand side here on first and ten.
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: Utah will rush four here, snap.
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: Goes back into the end zone and oh, they're gonna
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: mark him down at the one.
- 1:42:27Speaker 5: Ball was recovered in the field of play second down.
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: That was a half a yard to be his safety.
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: He just missed the snap. It went right by him.
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: That's the right call, but he was a half a
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: yard away from it. Back him up now, second down
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: in twenty three Alex Forthy Forsyde snapped it right by
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: his quarterback.
- 1:42:49Speaker 3: It almost looked like the motion messed him up on
- 1:42:52Speaker 3: it because it was plenty when he could have handled
- 1:42:54Speaker 3: the snap.
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: Here we go Utah showing pressure now at the line,
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: pressing up man Anthony Brown gonna hand it off to
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: Die Die tripped up and then he falls forward and
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: picks up a yard yard and a half after the
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: two yard line. It'll be third down and we'll call
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: it third down. And about what twenty three here? No
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: second down? In about twenty two, Fillinger had him in
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: the end zone. He did, I mean, he just barely
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: got out of his tough run there by Die. Nope,
- 1:43:22Speaker 2: it's third down, third down and an eternity here from
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: the two yard line. Can Utah get home with four
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: here to fool in Fillinger coming off the edge, Brown
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: four yards deep in the end zone, takes the belt
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: high snap, looks to pass, scrambling to the outside now
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: scrambling up the middle. Anthony Brown taking down at the
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: five yard line. Van Fillinger got him after a three
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: yard game and the Utah defense pins him deep in Britain.
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: Cove He's gonna get a chance to return a punt
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: right here.
- 1:43:55Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm not sure that Anthony Brown even I
- 1:43:58Speaker 3: don't think he was gonna throw the ever. I mean,
- 1:44:01Speaker 3: he just started running around really quickly. I think he
- 1:44:03Speaker 3: was just like, I'm not gonna get stuck in the
- 1:44:06Speaker 3: end zone. I'm not gonna throw an interception, and I'll
- 1:44:08Speaker 3: just see if I could make something scrambling around, cause
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: he didn't look for anybody.
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: Tom snee with his back feet on the back of
- 1:44:13Speaker 1: the end zone.
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: Here nine and a half yards deep, Covey stands into
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: the Oregon forty eight.
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: Steve's gonna get the kick away. It's a low line
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: drive kick.
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: Covey's gonna come up and take it at about the
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: forty three and then get bold under right there. Tough kid,
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: that Britton Covey. They're gonna mark him at the forty
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: five yard line. I thought he caught it at about
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: the forty three, got driven backwards anyway, Utah's got a
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: good starting field position. When we get back twenty three
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: to three, Utah was six point fifty nine to play
- 1:44:46Speaker 2: here in the third quarter. It's PACK twelve Championship Friday
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas, and right here from Learfield, whether
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: your rent, whether you own, Geico makes it easy to

- 1:44:56Speaker 2: hard work to get a quote at Geico dot com.
- 1:44:59Speaker 2: It's just that easy. From Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada,
- 1:45:02Speaker 2: beautiful home of the Las Vegas Raiders. This is PAC
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: twelve Championship football. I'm Bill Riley, Scott, Mitchell Stevenson, Silvestro,
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: our entire crew here, Utah trying to do something it's
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: never done. It's zero for two in PAC twelve Championship games.
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: It's trying to win its first. They leaded twenty three
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: to three with six fifty nine to play here in
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: the third quarter, and Scott, they start with great starting
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: field position here first intended the Oregon forty five.
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: Yeah, and you mentioned at the break about it's so
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: important for Utah to score here. It just makes it
- 1:45:35Speaker 3: really tough on Oregon. But Oregon is still selling out
- 1:45:38Speaker 3: to the run. And utadd did a nice job with
- 1:45:40Speaker 3: play action early. Do a little bit of play action here, right,
- 1:45:45Speaker 3: you know, on this first this first play, get a
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: nice big play, move the ball down the field. I
- 1:45:50Speaker 3: still think Utah can run the ball against Oregon. I'm
- 1:45:53Speaker 3: not sure that. I'm not sure that Tavion is the
- 1:45:58Speaker 3: is the answer, right, we talked about maybe Pledgure because.
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: He's running real hesitant tonight, McKay. Bernard's in the ball game.
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: Gonna split him in the right slot. Three rd wide
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: receivers to that side, two tight ends to the left
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: hand side, cam and the shotgun here on first down.
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: Now Bernard comes across the formation, rising to pass, looking
- 1:46:18Speaker 2: taking that shot down the Field's got a man open.
- 1:46:20Speaker 2: THEO Howard has it go through his hands and incomplete.
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: He was stride for stride with DJ James up the
- 1:46:27Speaker 2: near sideline. There's the shot play you talked about, Scott,
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: just not play action this time. Hold on, that's pass interference, James,
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: I THEO Howard's are. I mean, there's a reason that
- 1:46:39Speaker 2: you didn't catch it because one of his arms was
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: being held.
- 1:46:41Speaker 3: There was a great throw. Anytime that the defender impedes
- 1:46:44Speaker 3: the forward progress of the of the offensive player, and
- 1:46:47Speaker 3: that's clearly, clearly one of those situations.
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: Keithy and Dalton can kay to the right hand side,
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: Covey and Vailey to the left.
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: TJ.
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: Pledger and a pistol behind Cam Rising second down in
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: ten Utah and handed the Pledger. No, Cam's gonna keep
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: it straight ahead on his feet forty thirty five thirty
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: twenty five, twenty fifteen ten five and down at the
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: Oregon four yard line, forty one yards for Cam Rising.
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: McHale Wright made the touchdown saving tackle on thick Boy seven.
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: Just before the end zone. First in goal, Utah.
- 1:47:23Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a great read by Cam and a
- 1:47:25Speaker 3: great block by Keithy. I mean that's design. It's a
- 1:47:27Speaker 3: quarterback really counter there, but a great I mean Cam's
- 1:47:31Speaker 3: a fast guy.
- 1:47:31Speaker 2: Here we go first and goal for the four yard line,
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: turning to give TJ Pledger straight ahead, Pledger to the
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: goal line to.
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: The end zone.
- 1:47:38Speaker 5: Touchdown d Jay Pledger.
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: And a flag flies in the end zone.
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: Might be a celebration and an unsportsmanlike after the touchdown,
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: we'll see.
- 1:47:55Speaker 3: Well, they're separating the team, so maybe maybe it is
- 1:47:58Speaker 3: just a.
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: It's after the touchdown he crossed the goal line.
- 1:48:05Speaker 3: It'll be interesting what this is.
- 1:48:07Speaker 2: The touchdown's gonna stand now, We're gonna see who it's on.
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: My guess is offsetting perhaps, Usually that's what they do.
- 1:48:15Speaker 5: The result of the play is a touchdown.
- 1:48:18Speaker 6: After the playoff, sportsman like conduct offense number seventy eight
- 1:48:22Speaker 6: for conning the fifteen yard final will be enforced.
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: On the kickoff, the big Man Satoa la Maya got
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: flagged for a taunt, which will not make Jim Harding
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: or Kyle Whittingham happy.
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: But the touchdown stands no.
- 1:48:36Speaker 3: Because it really puts you a disadvantage on the kickoff.
- 1:48:41Speaker 3: Gotta keep your composure. I don't care you just I
- 1:48:43Speaker 3: know it gets shippy, but man, you got to keep
- 1:48:45Speaker 3: your composure.
- 1:48:45Speaker 2: Utah's going to go for two here, which is an
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: interesting call. Instead of going up thirty to three, they're
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: gonna try and make it thirty one to three and
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: make it a four touchdown game.
- 1:48:56Speaker 3: Yeah. They have these charts, yep, and they look at
- 1:48:59Speaker 3: them and they go, okay, what do we do in
- 1:49:00Speaker 3: this core situation? One or two?
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: They laid to the left, Covey Fotheringham and Dalton Kinkad
- 1:49:07Speaker 2: to the right, McKai Bernard in the backfield, two point conversion.
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: Try here for Utah. Bernard out of the backfield, rising
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: looking looking, looking, scanning, gonna look and try and run it,
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: and he's in the end zone. That's a two point
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: conversion for Cam Rising. That was a Cam Rising drive
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: right there, the forty one yard scrambled and then the
- 1:49:29Speaker 2: two point conversion and with six thirty three to play,
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: Utah is up by four touchdowns.
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: They're up thirty one to three.
- 1:49:37Speaker 3: Scott Mitchell, Yeah, what a great play by Kinkaid too
- 1:49:39Speaker 3: to just stay on his guy. I mean Cam Rising
- 1:49:42Speaker 3: to be able to do that, and what he's done
- 1:49:44Speaker 3: with his legs this year has just been just astronomical.
- 1:49:49Speaker 3: And he's a really fast runner. I mean that situation
- 1:49:52Speaker 3: right there, he's in the pocket and he goes from
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: zero to like one hundred rather quickly, and the defenders
- 1:49:59Speaker 3: i mean outruns it. You know we said this before. Sorry,
- 1:50:04Speaker 3: Oh go ahead. He's really a true dual threat quarterback. Yes,
- 1:50:08Speaker 3: I mean he may be the only one there is
- 1:50:11Speaker 3: in the back twelve.
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I joke about this, but we call guys dual
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: thread quarterbacks that are really good runners, that are halfway
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: decent throwers. This guy's a really good runner and a
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: terrific thrower. Three plays, forty five yards. That's a Pepsi
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: touchdown for TJ. Fledger. And with six thirty three to play,
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: Utah may have put this one out of reach.
- 1:50:30Speaker 3: We'll see you get a two point conversion. It's almost
- 1:50:33Speaker 3: like a turnover. It's so demoralizing to the defense.
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: The Oie is gonna kick it off from his own
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: twenty yard line because of the may of taunting penalty.
- 1:50:42Speaker 2: Jordan approaches it, kicks it high and end over. En
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: it's returnable. McGee will take it at his own seventeen
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: yard line. Seven McGee to the outside. Seven McGee has
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: the thirty and then thirty five yard line tripped up
- 1:50:56Speaker 2: there and goes out of bound. So about an eighteen
- 1:50:58Speaker 2: yard return for seven McGee in Oregon will have decent
- 1:51:01Speaker 2: starting field position here down thirty one to three with
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: six twenty six.
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: To play here at the third quarter.
- 1:51:07Speaker 3: Yeah, that penalty in essence cost you nine yards, you know,
- 1:51:10Speaker 3: because you're gonna at least get it at the twenty five,
- 1:51:12Speaker 3: and so they get it at the thirty four. So
- 1:51:15Speaker 3: because that's danger, that's a scary kickoff there, because you
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: can do a lot with that kickoff return surprise Oregon
- 1:51:21Speaker 3: tried like a reverse or something because there's a lot
- 1:51:23Speaker 3: of room there.
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: Are you surprised they're sticking with Anthony Brown Well?
- 1:51:26Speaker 3: Who I mean, he's he's the only guy that got
- 1:51:28Speaker 3: that's I mean, I think if they don't, I think
- 1:51:31Speaker 3: they're basically saying we surrender. I mean, I really do.
- 1:51:34Speaker 3: I don't know that young freshman is really ready.
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: I mean he's thrown for fifty one yards.
- 1:51:40Speaker 3: Yeah, he's ready.
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: Then first in dead Oregon. The freshman Thompson's a five
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: star kid. We'll see the lay of game and there
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: we go. Flag lives the lay of game on orgon the.
- 1:51:53Speaker 5: Lay of game, offense five yard penalty first down.
- 1:51:59Speaker 3: Never ever for should you get a delay a game
- 1:52:02Speaker 3: coming off the field to start a series. I mean
- 1:52:05Speaker 3: you have you're on the sideline talking to everyone. I
- 1:52:08Speaker 3: mean you talk about you know, you've brought up bill
- 1:52:11Speaker 3: about these coaches being distracted. It's things like that that
- 1:52:14Speaker 3: you have to wonder if that doesn't create a distraction.
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: You wonder if Krystal balls thinking about Miami and Joe
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: Morehead thinking about his new job at Akron first and fifteen.
- 1:52:24Speaker 2: Brown to pass pressure, collapsing the pocket, he throws it outside.
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: It's caught, caught by McGhee. No Franklin out to about
- 1:52:32Speaker 2: the forty five yard line. He was wide open on
- 1:52:35Speaker 2: the outside there.
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:52:37Speaker 3: Zemiah fell down.
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: Zamiavon felled down trying to get out to him. Man,
- 1:52:41Speaker 2: so let me be a first down.
- 1:52:45Speaker 3: He slipped and fell down.
- 1:52:46Speaker 2: Pick up on the play of the first down, yard
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: is they needed, and then a couple of more from
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: their own forty five first in ten clock running six
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: minutes to play. Here in the third quarter, Utah thirty
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: one and Oregon three pocket droop singing down goes Anthony Brown,
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: Tafuna and Fillinger there and met at the quarterback for
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: a sack.
- 1:53:10Speaker 3: I'll tell you what made that play. I'm Mika. Tafua
- 1:53:13Speaker 3: got off on like probably he got held too. He
- 1:53:16Speaker 3: got off on probably about as quick as a get
- 1:53:19Speaker 3: off as you can get, and he forced Anthony Brown
- 1:53:22Speaker 3: to step up into that sack.
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: Loss of two.
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: Back to the forty three second down in twelve, Brown
- 1:53:29Speaker 2: stays in the gun die next to him. Anthony Brown
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: hands straight ahead. Travis Dye through a hole into Utah
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: territory and they'll marking a yard short of first down
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: yard and he needed twelve.
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: He picked up eleven. Nephi Seol made the tackle.
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: I don't know why they don't keep running that play
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: because they've run it three times for multiple double digit yards.
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: In this half.
- 1:53:51Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the one where you know, in
- 1:53:53Speaker 3: the Packswell Championship game he gets lost.
- 1:53:56Speaker 2: Aj There we go third down in one, zero for
- 1:54:03Speaker 2: seven on third down of the Ducks, Anthony Brown in
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: the shotgun, die next to it. Brown takes the snap,
- 1:54:12Speaker 2: hands it to die. Die in the hole. Is gonna
- 1:54:15Speaker 2: get just enough? He needed about a yard He picked
- 1:54:18Speaker 2: up two. Junior Tafuna led the way there. Boy, how
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: good have Tafuda and Fillinger been over the last few games?
- 1:54:24Speaker 3: Scott Well, they Yeah, it's it's that coordinated pass rush
- 1:54:28Speaker 3: because you're getting such a great push up front, but
- 1:54:30Speaker 3: you're also getting Fillinger and Mika on that edge. I mean,
- 1:54:35Speaker 3: this defensive line is just really really grown and matured.
- 1:54:39Speaker 3: It's it's it's the best defensive line in the Pac.
- 1:54:42Speaker 2: Twelve first and ten from the Utah forty four yard line,
- 1:54:45Speaker 2: Anthony Brown in the shotgun again, back pedals to pass, pocket, collapsing,
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: scrambling going down. Tennessee Putu tal got him that time
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: with a bull rush right up the middle.
- 1:55:00Speaker 3: I'll tell you, Tennessee basically drops back with Anthony Brown.
- 1:55:04Speaker 3: I mean he's right in the backfield and just bull
- 1:55:06Speaker 3: rushes his way. That may be one of the few
- 1:55:09Speaker 3: times Anthony Brown's actually sat in the pocket.
- 1:55:11Speaker 2: For sacked tonight for the PAC twelve's leading sack team sack.
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: Lake City is back second and eighteen back of the
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: Oregon forty eight. Brown again in the gun. He'll pass
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: again again, a four man rush. They set up the screen.
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: It's a flanker screen this time to the Utah forty
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: and thirty nine yard line. Pick up a bunch of
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: yards they lost. It'll bring up third down in five.
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: It's a good call that time. Tackle on the play
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: actually was Isaiah Crocker, the wide receiver who grabbed it,
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: getting some action. Because they're then at wide receiver. They
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: had two leave the program and two get hurt.
- 1:55:52Speaker 3: Yeah, Cole Bishop just slipped and fell on that. He
- 1:55:54Speaker 3: would have had that tackled love sooner.
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: They're oh for eight on I'm sorry one for eight
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: on third down, third down and five flag sly movement
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: up front of the Ducks.
- 1:56:04Speaker 6: Well third offense number seventy eight, five yard pedal due
- 1:56:08Speaker 6: third down.
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: That is the senior and preseason All Pac twelve center
- 1:56:12Speaker 2: Alex Forsyth, who's not at a good night tonight bad
- 1:56:15Speaker 2: snaps in a procedure call right there. Third down and
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: ten coming up here for the Ducks, and you have
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: to think it's four down territory.
- 1:56:22Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's no Yeah, everything's four down for Oregon
- 1:56:25Speaker 3: right now.
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: Two forty five to play in the third thirty one
- 1:56:28Speaker 2: to three. Utah, see if they come after him or
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: just rush fourth Utah shifting around now, showing some pressure. Now,
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: Brown takes the snap in back pedals, throws the ball
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: out into the flat. He's got die who's short of
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: first down yardage by about three three and a half
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: maybe four yards. He's knocked out of bounds at the
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: thirty eight. He needs to get to the thirty four.
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: So fourth down and four coming up.
- 1:56:54Speaker 3: Yeah, A nice job by net by stool here sifting.
- 1:56:57Speaker 3: Actually it's McKinney. Can't shift it through through all of
- 1:57:00Speaker 3: that that garbage, you know, because it's kind of a
- 1:57:03Speaker 3: pick play, and he did a nice job of sifting
- 1:57:06Speaker 3: to it and making the tackle.
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: First fourth down tonight for the Ducks, they've got to
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: get to the Utah thirty four fourth down in four
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: guy at the backfield with brown. Crowd gets loud here
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: at Allegian Stadium. Brown back pedals, Brown fires outside and incomplete, incomplete,
- 1:57:26Speaker 2: great coverage on the outside by Clark Phillips.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: He almost picked it off. Gonna be Utah football.
- 1:57:31Speaker 3: Well see, you see the maturity of Utah. And and
- 1:57:36Speaker 3: they're playing tighter on these throws because all these throws
- 1:57:38Speaker 3: are going to be quick. I mean, it's just it's
- 1:57:41Speaker 3: all they do. I mean, it's not hard to figure out.
- 1:57:43Speaker 3: And Utah has played in the secondary probably as good
- 1:57:47Speaker 3: as they played all year.
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: Clark Phillips is about five to nine. If he's five
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: to eleven, that's a pick six goal in the other one,
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: first and ten. Utah they've got it on downs now,
- 1:57:57Speaker 2: had their own thirty eight yard line, looking to stick
- 1:58:02Speaker 2: the dagger in the Ducks here late in the third quarter,
- 1:58:05Speaker 2: a minute fifty three to play, Bernard and Cam Cam
- 1:58:10Speaker 2: changing the play backpedals to pass, looking throwing outside, caught
- 1:58:16Speaker 2: diving catch. Devon Vele made it up at about the
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: forty three and Utah picks up five on first down.
- 1:58:23Speaker 3: Yeah, you're Utah and you're ahead by thirty one, and
- 1:58:26Speaker 3: you're throwing the ball on first down.
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: You're feeling good.
- 1:58:29Speaker 3: You're you're saying, we've come here to finish this game,
- 1:58:32Speaker 3: and we're playing to win. I think they were thinking
- 1:58:35Speaker 3: Oregon was gonna blitz again.
- 1:58:39Speaker 2: Five yard game, second down in five mackay Bernard stays
- 1:58:41Speaker 2: of the ball game here for Utah. Two tights and
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: two wines mele and Enis Cam under center, Cam turns
- 1:58:50Speaker 2: and gives it. Mackay Bernard fifty forty five runs over
- 1:58:54Speaker 2: a man in down to the organ forty two yard line.
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: What a run by McKay Bernard. A hole opened up
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: by Nick Ford and keep bills.
- 1:59:03Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone, I mean just look at that. That's the
- 1:59:06Speaker 3: whole defensive Oregon. Every guy is engaged. Boom, just all
- 1:59:10Speaker 3: those guys. There's just no one free and it's just
- 1:59:13Speaker 3: that straight ahead run. But McKay Bernard just just you
- 1:59:18Speaker 3: get guys running straight ahead. It's it's just it's it's
- 1:59:21Speaker 3: hard to tackle people. You know they're gonna gain four
- 1:59:24Speaker 3: yards you know, if you can get.
- 1:59:26Speaker 2: That forty two seconds a clock running to play here
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: in the third quarter, cam shifting everybody around play clock
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: at four, he goes back under center, brings Cubby in motion,
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: turns and gives it again to McKay Bernard, Bernard bouncing
- 1:59:39Speaker 2: into the outside. McKay's got the forty thirty five and
- 1:59:42Speaker 2: down to the thirty three, who're gonna have a hold
- 1:59:43Speaker 2: on Utah and they may get keeping bills on this hold.
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 1:59:49Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great run.
- 1:59:53Speaker 6: Holding offense number seventy seven, ten yards. In the previous
- 1:59:57Speaker 6: spot first.
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: Out, it didn't get Keaton.
- 2:00:00Speaker 2: They've got Bammadeli, Olscenni on this. We'll keep an eye
- 2:00:03Speaker 2: on and keeping engages inside Ola Senni not much, a
- 2:00:07Speaker 2: little bit of a jersey grab and not much there
- 2:00:10Speaker 2: on asuer.
- 2:00:10Speaker 3: That's a terrible call. I mean it's a terrible call.
- 2:00:14Speaker 3: Well that these pass interference in some of these holding calls,
- 2:00:17Speaker 3: and that's actually a really good block.
- 2:00:20Speaker 2: That will take us to the end of the third
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: quarter here in Las Vegas, Nevada. Utah fans don't go
- 2:00:26Speaker 2: anywhere because your team and yours school hold on a second.
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: We may get one more play here?
- 2:00:32Speaker 3: Why?
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: Rising in the shotgun claps.
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: And takes the snaff, looks, looks, surveys, throws out in
- 2:00:38Speaker 2: the flat.
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: He's got Covey. They're forty thirty five and down to
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: the thirty three.
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: Hard line Britain. Covey on the grab and picks up
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: the yardage. Is the third quarter, now, Utah fans, we've
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: reached the end of the third quarter, and.
- 2:00:54Speaker 1: They come to their feet here in Allegiance Stadium.
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: The University of Utah is fifteen minutes away from calling
- 2:01:01Speaker 2: themselves Pack twelve champions. They leaded thirty one to three
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: as we head to the fourth This is Utah football
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: from lear Field back inside of Allegiance Stadium, fifteen minutes
- 2:01:12Speaker 2: away from a championship for Utah football. They lead it
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: thirty one to three. Let's go downstairs to slide soly,
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: what do you see with that offensive line?
- 2:01:20Speaker 7: That offensive line is playing perfectly tonight.
- 2:01:23Speaker 4: Besides the bogus holding call we just saw. The offensive
- 2:01:26Speaker 4: line is putting on tape right now. They are working
- 2:01:30Speaker 4: the Oregon defensive line very well, opening up holes for
- 2:01:34Speaker 4: Mackay Bernard and TJ. Pledger and Cam Rising as well.
- 2:01:38Speaker 4: On the two point conversion. It was a great job
- 2:01:40Speaker 4: blocking bam Ran Caveon Thibodeaux all the way upfield. But
- 2:01:45Speaker 4: this offensive line deserves a lot of credit.
- 2:01:46Speaker 3: I know.
- 2:01:47Speaker 7: Scott said it.
- 2:01:47Speaker 4: In the pregame show, and it's going to be very
- 2:01:49Speaker 4: important for them to have a good game.
- 2:01:51Speaker 7: They're having a great game tonight, though.
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: Within a game said they've got to win the third quarter.
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: They did.
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: On the board, it was just seven to seven. Scott
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: ninety one yards to sixty six. Oregon ran nineteen plays,
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: Utah only ran nine. But Utah won the statistical battle,
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: and they still lead on the scoreboard. They lead by
- 2:02:11Speaker 2: twenty eight as we head to the fourth. Can you
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: believe what we're seeing right now?
- 2:02:15Speaker 3: No, well, I that's a lie. This Utah football team
- 2:02:18Speaker 3: is really good and it's really grown up. It's just
- 2:02:22Speaker 3: fun to watch this defense. These guys are playing so
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: well and they just really they have a game plan
- 2:02:29Speaker 3: that they understand that they just executed flawlessly. I mean,
- 2:02:34Speaker 3: the only blemish has just been a couple of turnovers.
- 2:02:36Speaker 3: But other than that, I mean, this has just been
- 2:02:38Speaker 3: a dominant performance by Utah across the board. I've had
- 2:02:43Speaker 3: goosebumps since like the second quarter, I'm not joking here.
- 2:02:46Speaker 3: This is folks. This is as exciting as it ever gets.
- 2:02:50Speaker 2: Second down in about three to go here for Utah.
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: McKay Bernard in the backfield, rising goes under center seven
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: in the box.
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: Eight in the box.
- 2:02:57Speaker 2: Now for Oregon, turn it and give McKay bernard straight
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: ahead running. Mackay just driven backwards after about a two
- 2:03:04Speaker 2: yard game to the thirty two Brandon Dorles, who's really good.
- 2:03:08Speaker 2: We haven't called his name much at all. Here Tonight
- 2:03:10Speaker 2: comes up on the tackle to be third down in
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: a yard to go here for Utah thirty one to
- 2:03:15Speaker 2: three utes, early fourth quarter.
- 2:03:16Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was a little weird because the surge
- 2:03:19Speaker 3: from the offensive line is just moving Oregon. You thought
- 2:03:22Speaker 3: that was going to be a much bigger play than
- 2:03:24Speaker 3: it was.
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: Thomas in the ballgame three tight end look here for
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: Utah nine in the box.
- 2:03:32Speaker 1: Here for Oregon. Cam changing the play eight on the
- 2:03:37Speaker 1: play clock.
- 2:03:38Speaker 2: Turns and gives tavy On Thomas Tavon first down yard
- 2:03:42Speaker 2: itge through the hole and down to the twenty eight
- 2:03:44Speaker 2: yard line.
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: He goes.
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: He picked up four yards at a first mile first
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: down Veron McKinley made the tackle and Scott Utah is
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: just having their way up front right now.
- 2:03:53Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know a team is desperate when they
- 2:03:57Speaker 3: bring eleven guys at the line of scrimmage. I don't
- 2:04:00Speaker 3: normally see stuff like this. And this is an Oregon,
- 2:04:03Speaker 3: this Oregon with all the top recruiting classes in the country.
- 2:04:07Speaker 3: They're just getting manhandled by Utah.
- 2:04:10Speaker 2: Two tights and two wides on first and ten from
- 2:04:12Speaker 2: the Oregon twenty eight Covey in motion, Thomas behind cam rising.
- 2:04:16Speaker 2: They bring Covey back across the formation and play action,
- 2:04:19Speaker 2: throw a screen Tavyon blowing up. Great read right there
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: is that. That was Jordan Happle, the strong safety who
- 2:04:27Speaker 2: read that. And guess what he didn't get blocked. That
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: was the big problem. They had the screen set up beautifully,
- 2:04:31Speaker 2: but nobody blocked Happle.
- 2:04:33Speaker 3: Well that that party's got a cast on him about
- 2:04:35Speaker 3: the size of a a pumpkin.
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: It's big.
- 2:04:39Speaker 3: I mean he can't even tackle.
- 2:04:41Speaker 2: It's a loss of four yards. Back to the thirty
- 2:04:43Speaker 2: two yard line. Second down in fourteen Mayley wright enis
- 2:04:49Speaker 2: left two tight ends on the left hand side.
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: Seven eight.
- 2:04:53Speaker 2: Now again in the box cam changing the play Mackay
- 2:04:56Speaker 2: Bernard in the backfield. Cam turns and gives it to
- 2:04:59Speaker 2: the Bernard dancing through the holes, keeps his feet, pushes
- 2:05:03Speaker 2: the pile and gets to the twenty six yard line,
- 2:05:06Speaker 2: picking up six yards.
- 2:05:07Speaker 1: I'll bring up third down.
- 2:05:09Speaker 5: Forward progress was top third down.
- 2:05:11Speaker 2: I guess the ball came out, but third down and
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: calling about eight to go. They've got to get to
- 2:05:15Speaker 2: the eighteen yard line for a first down. Clock continues
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: to run here though, with twelve forty in counting to play.
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: Here the ball game and Utah's very very close to
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: crowning themselves Pack twelve champions.
- 2:05:27Speaker 3: Well, I don't think coach Winningham's gonna be too happy.
- 2:05:29Speaker 3: I mean, the ball's been on the ground, please, Blake
- 2:05:32Speaker 3: Cluck said.
- 2:05:35Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 2:05:37Speaker 2: Bernard in the backfield, four wide. Look here for Utah.
- 2:05:42Speaker 2: Cam in the shotgun, Oregon State showing pressure. Here they go,
- 2:05:46Speaker 2: Cam's gonna keep it. Breaks through a tackle. He's at
- 2:05:49Speaker 2: the twenty and down to the sixteen yard line, goes
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: Cam rising. He picked up ten in a first down.
- 2:05:55Speaker 2: They nearly had him in the backfield, but he broke
- 2:05:57Speaker 2: away from it and gets a first mile first down.
- 2:06:00Speaker 2: Noah sool In on the play for Utah. This is
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: just a great play. Oh suol missed that tackle.
- 2:06:06Speaker 3: Well, you've got you've got a situation where that they
- 2:06:08Speaker 3: sold out on the blitz and uh and he was
- 2:06:11Speaker 3: not blocked and so it's just kind of one on one.
- 2:06:14Speaker 3: Cam Rerison kind of shakes him in the hole there
- 2:06:16Speaker 3: and then and then with the blitz, he's got plenty
- 2:06:18Speaker 3: of room to get a first down.
- 2:06:20Speaker 2: Stick it in the end zone here, Utah stick that
- 2:06:22Speaker 2: dagger and the Ducks into the University Credit Union red
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: zone from the seventeen of Oregon turning a give kJ
- 2:06:30Speaker 2: pledger bouncing inside outside and falling forward to about the
- 2:06:34Speaker 2: eleven yard line for a game on the play of
- 2:06:38Speaker 2: six yards.
- 2:06:39Speaker 3: Yeah, and you you, uh, you can just see how
- 2:06:43Speaker 3: this this is just this Oregon team is just getting
- 2:06:46Speaker 3: just so worn down. You got they got guys just missing,
- 2:06:51Speaker 3: you know, just it's just so close to popping one here.
- 2:06:56Speaker 2: Second down and five Thomas back of the ball game
- 2:07:01Speaker 2: three tight ends right. They shift around then rising under
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: center Vay lay On the near sideline, turning to give
- 2:07:08Speaker 2: tav On Thomas picking his way forward, Tavon.
- 2:07:11Speaker 1: Keeps his feet five four three and down. He goes
- 2:07:15Speaker 1: for a Utah first down, nearly broke a tackle and
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: got into the end zone.
- 2:07:19Speaker 2: But it'll be first in goal Utah from the Oregon
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: three yard line, and Utah just now playing bully ball
- 2:07:25Speaker 2: up front.
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: How about the block by keithy.
- 2:07:27Speaker 3: Well and it's a counter again. Noah Suele misses a block.
- 2:07:30Speaker 3: Two or three other guys miss the play. It's almost
- 2:07:32Speaker 3: like tav On Thomas just smells that end zone. He
- 2:07:35Speaker 3: just so good at u that power running. It's such
- 2:07:39Speaker 3: an asset to have too, when you got a guy
- 2:07:41Speaker 3: that can score touchdowns down the red zone.
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: First and goal from the three yard line, rising under center,
- 2:07:47Speaker 2: three tight ends and a wide receiver Thomas behind him,
- 2:07:51Speaker 2: Cam changing the direction of the play here turns and

- 2:07:55Speaker 1: Into the end zone. Touchdown, touchdown.
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: Davon Thomas and the Uts have stuck a dagger in
- 2:08:02Speaker 2: the Ducks. The Uts are gonna be back twelve champions.

- 2:08:32Speaker 3: the end zone. They do.
- 2:08:33Speaker 2: Here's the pat. It's up and good bye, Jayden Redding.
- 2:08:36Speaker 2: Ten twenty one to play. Utah has matched their point
- 2:08:40Speaker 2: total for the first game. They have thirty eight on
- 2:08:42Speaker 2: the board and Oregon has three time out on the field.
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: Utah fans, pop that champagne.
- 2:08:49Speaker 1: Start celebrating.
- 2:08:51Speaker 2: Back in Salt Lake City, in Ogden, in Logan, in Provo,

- 2:09:03Speaker 1: This is Utah Football from lear Field.
- 2:09:05Speaker 2: Tonight's back twelve championship game from Allegian Stadium here in
- 2:09:08Speaker 2: Las Vegas, being brought to you by red Box. I've
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: got to hit movies like Disney's Jungle Crews starring Dwayne
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: the Rock Johnson and Emily Blunt. Find up online at
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: redbox dot com. How about that drive Scott eleventh plays
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: sixty two yards six thirty two off the game clock.
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: That's a drive that takes the soul of your opponent
- 2:09:26Speaker 2: right there, That just takes the soul and the spirit
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: away from your opponent. And now there's no doubt on
- 2:09:31Speaker 2: that Oregon sideline they're done. It's thirty eight to three
- 2:09:34Speaker 2: with ten twenty one to play, and I think we're
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: now going to see that switch at quarterback.
- 2:09:38Speaker 3: Well yeah, whatever. But you know Cam Rising and what
- 2:09:44Speaker 3: he's done for this Utah football team, and I think
- 2:09:47Speaker 3: it's been the whole entire team. But to see some
- 2:09:50Speaker 3: of those plays he made, he's just he's a he's
- 2:09:52Speaker 3: a baller. I mean he's he's a guy that can
- 2:09:54Speaker 3: extend drives, just understand situations and really has played a
- 2:10:00Speaker 3: tough game because you throw interceptions in a championship game
- 2:10:03Speaker 3: and that can wear on you, and it can can
- 2:10:07Speaker 3: kind of you see what's happened to Anthony Brown. I mean,
- 2:10:11Speaker 3: he's the play The game was bigger than he was,
- 2:10:14Speaker 3: but the game was not bigger for the Utes this year,
- 2:10:18Speaker 3: It just wasn't. They showed up. His defense has just
- 2:10:22Speaker 3: been phenomenal and Cam Rising is just just really again
- 2:10:27Speaker 3: put the team on his back and did what he
- 2:10:28Speaker 3: had to do to win.
- 2:10:31Speaker 2: Utah fans come to their feet. Duck fans are quiet.
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: Those that have remained.
- 2:10:36Speaker 2: Many are heading back to the tables to try their
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: forte and elsewhere. Hudson and seven McGee back to return
- 2:10:42Speaker 2: this Jordan Noys kickoff. Jordan kicking right to left line
- 2:10:47Speaker 2: drive kick McGee will take it two yards deep. Seven
- 2:10:51Speaker 2: McGee ten fifteen twenty flag flies thirty and thirty one
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: yard line. But this one's coming back. This will be
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: a hold or a block of the back on the
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: orgon dux.
- 2:11:04Speaker 3: Huh oh, got another penalty.
- 2:11:09Speaker 1: A little extra curricular there. We may be kicking this
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: one again. We'll see.
- 2:11:16Speaker 3: Somebody talking trash. I'll bet they always talk trash on
- 2:11:21Speaker 3: the kickoff team though. It's all. It's all the the
- 2:11:24Speaker 3: only time they get a chance to play. It's a scrubs,
- 2:11:26Speaker 3: you know. They're all excited.
- 2:11:28Speaker 6: During the return holding return team number forty three after
- 2:11:33Speaker 6: the play on sportsmanlike conduct kicking team number eighty seven
- 2:11:38Speaker 6: with the headbutt.
- 2:11:39Speaker 5: Both penalties will be in forced first off.
- 2:11:43Speaker 2: So they back it up fifteen and then they move
- 2:11:45Speaker 2: it fifteen and so Oregon ends up first and ten
- 2:11:48Speaker 2: at their own twenty five. That was Thomas Yasmin, the
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: Aussie tight end who got called for the head butt.
- 2:11:55Speaker 3: Headbutt, Well, if he's an Aussie, that's that's how they fight, right.
- 2:11:58Speaker 2: He's probably celebrating that would the Aussies do? Yeah, the
- 2:12:01Speaker 2: guzzle of big Fosters and then they head but each other.
- 2:12:03Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's really They got to know their nationalities,
- 2:12:07Speaker 3: these officials, because that's that's that's just not a penalty
- 2:12:10Speaker 3: if you're from Australia.
- 2:12:14Speaker 2: First and ten Oregon. Anthony Brown stays in the ball
- 2:12:18Speaker 2: game here, you're gonna ride with him till the end.
- 2:12:22Speaker 2: Tonight apparently hand off first down, Travis die Or wrapped
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: up and taken down after a short game, Junior Tafuna
- 2:12:29Speaker 2: grabbed him as we dip under ten minutes to play here.
- 2:12:34Speaker 3: I'll tell you, Junior has been such a big addition
- 2:12:38Speaker 3: to this team. He's just really stepped it off and
- 2:12:41Speaker 3: getting that push in the middle is just really made
- 2:12:44Speaker 3: all the difference for Utah in this game and the season.
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: Second down in seven, die the back of the backfield
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: with Anthony Brown again. Now Anthony's gonna pass pressure coming
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: fires over the middle, complete to a tight end. He's
- 2:12:59Speaker 2: got Terrence Spurr Erguson who's wrapped up and taken down
- 2:13:02Speaker 2: after about a four yard game. Take it five to
- 2:13:06Speaker 2: the thirty four they'll be third down and one here
- 2:13:08Speaker 2: for the Ducks.
- 2:13:10Speaker 3: And again just a short short pass, you know, kind
- 2:13:13Speaker 3: of a crossing pass there and me Fi Suel does
- 2:13:15Speaker 3: a nice job open field tackling and minimal game.
- 2:13:19Speaker 2: Ducks are won for nine on third Today, they've got
- 2:13:21Speaker 2: to get a yard to the thirty five yard line.
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: Nine ten to play in the ball game, nine ten
- 2:13:27Speaker 2: to a championship. Utah fans Brown of the gun hands
- 2:13:33Speaker 2: off Die straight ahead into the hole. He got the yard,
- 2:13:36Speaker 2: but that's about it. Cole Bishop on a rud blitz
- 2:13:40Speaker 2: from his safety position, drop die after a yard and
- 2:13:43Speaker 2: a half game. Tell you what, Travis Dies a really
- 2:13:45Speaker 2: nice running back, Scott. Utah has done a number on
- 2:13:48Speaker 2: him in both these games this.
- 2:13:49Speaker 3: Year, no question in Utah. I mean, Oregon's are running
- 2:13:52Speaker 3: football team and they that's what they do. And Utah
- 2:13:56Speaker 3: is really a run stopping team. And the Utah team
- 2:14:00Speaker 3: just has had the better of Oregon.
- 2:14:02Speaker 2: Three receivers and Brian Bryant Cardwell in the ballgame, round
- 2:14:06Speaker 2: to pass four man rush fires in the flat Cardwells
- 2:14:09Speaker 2: got it thirty nine to forty and wrapped up and
- 2:14:11Speaker 2: taken down by fi Sewelling about the forty two yard
- 2:14:15Speaker 2: line for a gain of six. Clock continues to run
- 2:14:17Speaker 2: them eight twenty five, eight to twenty four, eight to
- 2:14:20Speaker 2: twenty three to play.
- 2:14:22Speaker 3: And you see, you see the flaw of Oregon. And
- 2:14:25Speaker 3: Oregon is a team that it's it's all about ball possession,
- 2:14:29Speaker 3: throws and runs, and they just they're just not build
- 2:14:32Speaker 3: to throw the ball down the field and score quickly.
- 2:14:34Speaker 2: Second and four, straight ahead, hand off Die in the
- 2:14:37Speaker 2: hole picks up two to the forty four. And to
- 2:14:42Speaker 2: your point, Scott, we had this stat We used it
- 2:14:44Speaker 2: a bunch in the first matchup. Nine of Anthony Brown's
- 2:14:48Speaker 2: completions are ten yards or closer to the line of scrimmage.
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: If you can't stretch the field, that allows a defense
- 2:14:54Speaker 2: to really play you a different way.
- 2:14:56Speaker 3: It really does. I mean you don't, you don't back
- 2:14:58Speaker 3: people up, they don't respect it, and then is going
- 2:15:00Speaker 3: to play tighter and tighter on you.
- 2:15:03Speaker 2: Third down in two from their own forty four yard line,
- 2:15:06Speaker 2: Brown and the gun die next to it. Two tights,
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: two wides here, straight ahead hand off Travis Dye into
- 2:15:12Speaker 2: the secondary. He goes into Utah territory, goes and now
- 2:15:15Speaker 2: that the Utah forty yard line, he goes. Cole Bishop
- 2:15:18Speaker 2: made the tackle, but not until he was sixteen yards
- 2:15:21Speaker 2: down the field.
- 2:15:22Speaker 1: With the first half.
- 2:15:23Speaker 3: Yeah, that might have been maybe the worst call of
- 2:15:25Speaker 3: the night where Utah. I mean it's third and short,
- 2:15:28Speaker 3: like they're gonna run the ball and Utah is in
- 2:15:30Speaker 3: a two deep zone thinking pass. I don't know why, but.
- 2:15:35Speaker 2: I'd given up the big play. I guess of thirty
- 2:15:37Speaker 2: eight three seven oh five to play first and ten
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: Oregon from the Utah forty yard line. Cardwell back of
- 2:15:45Speaker 2: the ball game here for wide look Brown to throw
- 2:15:47Speaker 2: four man rush fires over the middle, down the scene
- 2:15:49Speaker 2: and all he missed his man. Actually that I don't
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: think that was a bad pass. I don't think Devin
- 2:15:54Speaker 2: Williams ever saw that football. No, that was actually I
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: think a catchable football off Williams finds it.
- 2:16:00Speaker 3: See though, that's an example. Yeah, I mean, I mean
- 2:16:02Speaker 3: this is a blown coverage by Utah. I mean he's
- 2:16:04Speaker 3: wide open, and uh, Oregon's just not a team that
- 2:16:09Speaker 3: does this very well. I mean, I guess Clark Phillips
- 2:16:12Speaker 3: is kind of there. If the throw is on the money.
- 2:16:14Speaker 3: He might he might get it.
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: But it's second down in ten down from the Utah
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: forty yard line, play clock at ten, moving guys around
- 2:16:22Speaker 2: two wides each side, card well into the flat. They
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: throw out this flanker screen near side, nearly intercepted. That
- 2:16:32Speaker 2: was Mika Tafua who got his hand up on it,
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: almost came down with it.
- 2:16:35Speaker 1: Third down in ten coming up.
- 2:16:37Speaker 3: I think that Utah is one of the better teams
- 2:16:40Speaker 3: in the conference at reading the quarterback for those quick throws,
- 2:16:45Speaker 3: and they knock down more passes, tip more passes. We'll
- 2:16:49Speaker 3: just they just really have a great knack for it.
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: Credit Lewis Powell and Sioni Boja for coaching it well.
- 2:16:55Speaker 2: Three out of eleven on third down. Two for two
- 2:16:57Speaker 2: on this drive. Third down in ten, browning the gun
- 2:17:02Speaker 2: low snap backpedal, surveys throws in the flat, complete thirty
- 2:17:08Speaker 2: twenty five and out of bounds at the twenty two
- 2:17:10Speaker 2: yard line to Devin Williams, Why did he slow up?
- 2:17:13Speaker 2: There's a flag Devin Williams getting into it on that
- 2:17:15Speaker 2: far sideline with some Utah football players.
- 2:17:21Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no there's no.
- 2:17:22Speaker 2: Plumont to Alay was right there. Having words with him.
- 2:17:25Speaker 2: I'm not sure if this was on Utah or on
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: Devin Williams.
- 2:17:28Speaker 3: Yeah, they just got to be smart. Devin Lloyd's getting
- 2:17:30Speaker 3: in there and telling these guys, hey, come on, just
- 2:17:31Speaker 3: calm down here. But it looked like Utah was faking
- 2:17:38Speaker 3: blitz and then going into his zone and they just
- 2:17:42Speaker 3: lost the underneath guy.
- 2:17:44Speaker 1: So here's our referee.
- 2:17:45Speaker 6: The result of the play is the first down after
- 2:17:48Speaker 6: the play unsportsmanli conduct offense number two, fifteen yard penalty.
- 2:17:54Speaker 5: It will be first than ten.
- 2:17:57Speaker 1: Yeah, Devin Williams got up and he.
- 2:17:59Speaker 5: Just time out for an injured player.
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: That injured player, Zamayah Vaughn. He's down on the sideline
- 2:18:07Speaker 2: over there for Utah. Williams got up and was chirping
- 2:18:11Speaker 2: after the play. That's a little bit of frustration over there.
- 2:18:15Speaker 2: But this is kind of symptomatic of this Oregon football team.
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: They're taking a look at Zamaya Vaughan's leg over there.
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: Bonte Davis wrapped him up, tried to tackle him, then
- 2:18:26Speaker 2: Malone Monteo, then he hit then Milona.
- 2:18:28Speaker 1: Okay, I'm out on the field.
- 2:18:31Speaker 2: Yeah, he slapped Ponte Davis in the helmet, not by
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: much but a little bit. So we'll take the time
- 2:18:35Speaker 2: out while they check on Zamayah Vaughn, Utah thirty eight
- 2:18:39Speaker 2: and Oregon three, six forty one away, folks from Hardware

- 2:19:03Speaker 2: Mitchell slides downstairs and Utah has controlled this game from
- 2:19:07Speaker 2: the jump, the same way they did thirteen days ago,
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: but maybe even more so tonight.
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: Scott.
- 2:19:12Speaker 2: They're up thirty eight to three with six forty one
- 2:19:15Speaker 2: to play in the ball game.
- 2:19:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I think people talk about, man, it's hard to
- 2:19:18Speaker 3: beat a team twice, and not when you're really good and.
- 2:19:22Speaker 1: The other team not when you're the good team.
- 2:19:24Speaker 3: Now, and I'll tell you what Oregon is really they're
- 2:19:28Speaker 3: not that good. They're pretty decent defensively, but offensively they
- 2:19:32Speaker 3: don't have any playmakers, including their quarterback. They got a
- 2:19:35Speaker 3: running back that's decent. He's not a game changer, but
- 2:19:39Speaker 3: they just they do not have They don't they don't
- 2:19:42Speaker 3: have playmakers on their offense.
- 2:19:43Speaker 1: Well, they certainly miss c. J.
- 2:19:45Speaker 2: Verdell who went out early in the season, and they're
- 2:19:47Speaker 2: missing Jalen Red wide receiver and Johnny Johnson the third
- 2:19:51Speaker 2: Those two guys got injured late in the season.
- 2:19:53Speaker 1: Those were three playmakers. Isn't available.
- 2:19:55Speaker 3: This is Oregon. You know, this is a team that
- 2:19:58Speaker 3: has great recruiting and and that's that depth. I mean,
- 2:20:01Speaker 3: that's the thing Utah has. They've got guys that have
- 2:20:04Speaker 3: stepped in and played when when guys have been injured.
- 2:20:07Speaker 2: After the penalties, it goes back to the thirty eight
- 2:20:10Speaker 2: yard line. Utah is thirty eight first and ten here
- 2:20:14Speaker 2: for the Ducks six forty one to play now after
- 2:20:17Speaker 2: the Utah defense, I want to preserve this three points,
- 2:20:21Speaker 2: not let him score. Brown operating out of the shotgun,
- 2:20:24Speaker 2: Travis died next to him. Anthony Brown claps his hands,
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: takes the snap, back pedals, looking, looking, surveying, throwing down
- 2:20:32Speaker 2: the field and caught up the sidelines and out of bounds.
- 2:20:37Speaker 1: That's Crockett again.
- 2:20:38Speaker 2: Who makes the grab and that's inside the five and
- 2:20:40Speaker 2: out at the Utah. They're gonna say out at the
- 2:20:43Speaker 2: Utah five, first and goal Oregon, good.
- 2:20:44Speaker 3: Throw, yeah, and this is a poor angle by Cole
- 2:20:50Speaker 3: Bishop and he just he undercuts the throw and he's
- 2:20:53Speaker 3: got he's got to play it from the high side down.
- 2:20:56Speaker 2: So first and goal Oregon for the first time today,
- 2:21:00Speaker 2: at the Utah five yard line, empty backfield, look for
- 2:21:03Speaker 2: quarterback keeper right here, three receivers right, two to the
- 2:21:08Speaker 2: left hand side. Anthony Brown in the shotgun, takes the snap,
- 2:21:13Speaker 2: gonna keep it himself straight up the middle and gang
- 2:21:16Speaker 2: tackled at about the three yard line. They give him
- 2:21:19Speaker 2: about the two and a half yard line. He's taking
- 2:21:23Speaker 2: some hits again tonight, Scott. Maybe not quite to the
- 2:21:25Speaker 2: extent he didn't Salt Lake City, but Utah has hit
- 2:21:27Speaker 2: him good.
- 2:21:27Speaker 3: Yeah. Man run the ball as much either, And I
- 2:21:29Speaker 3: don't know if that's by design or he's sick. Maybe
- 2:21:32Speaker 3: he doesn't want to because he has he has not
- 2:21:34Speaker 3: been a very decisive guy today. He's been very tentative
- 2:21:38Speaker 3: throwing the ball and running the ball. It just he's
- 2:21:40Speaker 3: from the get gun.
- 2:21:41Speaker 2: Got a lot of tape on that right ankle too.
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: He's been dealing with that here tonight. Second a goal
- 2:21:45Speaker 2: from the two and a half yard line. Brown again
- 2:21:48Speaker 2: in the gun, this time Died next to him. Thornton
- 2:21:51Speaker 2: across the formation, handed straight ahead, Travis Died to the
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: two to the one. Does he reach into the end zone?
- 2:21:57Speaker 2: They do.
- 2:21:57Speaker 1: They give him the goal line and a touchdown. Travis dive.
- 2:22:02Speaker 2: The hard fought run is fifteenth touchdown of the year
- 2:22:07Speaker 2: and finally something for the Oregon faithful to cheer about
- 2:22:10Speaker 2: here with five seventeen to play, just second third effort
- 2:22:16Speaker 2: that time by die, Utah's defense actually did a pretty
- 2:22:19Speaker 2: good job.
- 2:22:21Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is you know, these are tough situations
- 2:22:24Speaker 3: here because you really kind of feel like you're i mean,
- 2:22:27Speaker 3: the game's pretty much over right, and so that same intensity,
- 2:22:33Speaker 3: it's hard to keep it up. It really is.
- 2:22:36Speaker 2: Camden Lewis on for a pat to make it thirty
- 2:22:39Speaker 2: eight ten, snap his back, the hold is down, the
- 2:22:43Speaker 2: kicks uping good. Five seventeen to play in the ballgame,

- 2:23:24Speaker 3: Yeah, Utah has really shown up and really represented well.

- 2:23:31Speaker 3: football team. I mean, this has just been pretty darn
- 2:23:35Speaker 3: impressive night, considering you know how it's hard to win
- 2:23:38Speaker 3: a championship, hard to get to the Rose Bowl and

- 2:24:00Speaker 2: We'll see Utah ready for the on side kick here.
- 2:24:05Speaker 2: They've got everybody up except Britton Covey. He'll stand in
- 2:24:08Speaker 2: his own twenty two yard line. Ducks will tee this
- 2:24:11Speaker 2: up and go after the on side kick here with
- 2:24:13Speaker 2: five seventeen to play, trailing by twenty eight. Lewis will
- 2:24:22Speaker 2: take a short run at it from the left. We'll
- 2:24:26Speaker 2: see if he brings it back to the right hand
- 2:24:27Speaker 2: side he does. Try to get that big hop and
- 2:24:32Speaker 2: take it down by Utah and return by Utah to
- 2:24:36Speaker 2: the Oregon thirty five thirty seven yard line. Solomon Enis
- 2:24:41Speaker 2: picked it out of mid Aaron. Utah is gonna have
- 2:24:44Speaker 2: a good starting field position here with five point fifteen
- 2:24:46Speaker 2: to play, another time out on the field, so we'll

- 2:25:40Speaker 3: runner throw We run?
- 2:25:42Speaker 1: Just kidding, I would play action.
- 2:25:44Speaker 3: I look Oregon is.
- 2:25:49Speaker 2: I don't, Well, you don't really need style points because
- 2:25:52Speaker 2: you're not going to be in the playoffs.
- 2:25:53Speaker 3: Of points. It's rubbing it in points.
- 2:25:55Speaker 1: It's sending a message.
- 2:25:56Speaker 3: Yeah, man, you're Kyle Whittingham and the year that they
- 2:26:02Speaker 3: have been through, and he has been through in his
- 2:26:05Speaker 3: career to usher in the Utah Football team into a pack,
- 2:26:11Speaker 3: you know, into the Pac twelve and to finally have
- 2:26:14Speaker 3: climbed him mountain and I just can't imagine what he
- 2:26:19Speaker 3: feels like right now. It's got to just be cloud nine.
- 2:26:22Speaker 3: Probably didn't even walking on the ground.
- 2:26:24Speaker 2: Utah has been in the league eleven seasons now, and
- 2:26:26Speaker 2: they'll get a chance to go to the Rose Bowl.
- 2:26:28Speaker 2: Arizona's been in the league forty years. They've never been
- 2:26:31Speaker 2: to a Rose bull just goes to show. Yet it's
- 2:26:34Speaker 2: not easy. They had some few teams under Dictoby that
- 2:26:36Speaker 2: at Arizona two. First in ten, Utah at the Oregon
- 2:26:40Speaker 2: thirty seven yard line, Tavy and Thomas cam rising the
- 2:26:45Speaker 2: trio of tight ends and Solomon has split wide to
- 2:26:49Speaker 2: the right hand side here from the Oregon thirty seven
- 2:26:54Speaker 2: cam under center, Tavan behind him, turning to give Tavion
- 2:26:57Speaker 2: Thomas bouncing inside and outside, sing off a duck or
- 2:27:00Speaker 2: two and rolling his way down to the thirty two
- 2:27:03Speaker 2: yard line for a gain of five.
- 2:27:07Speaker 3: Yeah, and quite frankly, that's the hardest Tavians probably run tonight.
- 2:27:10Speaker 3: I mean, it's just the most decisive And yeah, he's
- 2:27:14Speaker 3: had some struggles, but he gets on that goal line,
- 2:27:18Speaker 3: he can smell touchdowns.
- 2:27:19Speaker 2: You done's going to take their time, runn this plate clock,
- 2:27:22Speaker 2: down play clocks. At eighteen, they're still in the huddle.
- 2:27:25Speaker 2: They'll break the huddle at about fifteen or fourteen. Here
- 2:27:28Speaker 2: they go second down in five of the Oregon thirty two.
- 2:27:32Speaker 1: Thomas stays in the ballgame again.
- 2:27:36Speaker 2: Edith split out wide to the right hand side with
- 2:27:38Speaker 2: two tight ends. Now they bring him inside, turning a
- 2:27:42Speaker 2: give again Tavy on Thomas bouncing, spinning, turning and getting
- 2:27:46Speaker 2: back to the line of scrimmage. And that's it looked
- 2:27:49Speaker 2: like he wanted to bounce that outside, but nothing was there.
- 2:27:51Speaker 3: Now he's got to hit that hole straight ahead, and
- 2:27:54Speaker 3: he's just looking for the home run shot there. But
- 2:27:57Speaker 3: you just need some positive yards here. I guess he saw. Guys,
- 2:28:02Speaker 3: you should have come back to the left.
- 2:28:05Speaker 1: Coming up on.
- 2:28:05Speaker 2: Four minutes to play in the ball game, four minutes
- 2:28:08Speaker 2: to a championship. Utah fens four minutes to a championship.
- 2:28:12Speaker 3: I love when quarterbacks tell running backs how to run.
- 2:28:14Speaker 3: It's like your point should go back the other way.
- 2:28:16Speaker 2: Third down and five, McKay bernard in the ball game.
- 2:28:22Speaker 2: Three tight ends, a wide receiver play clock in two seconds,
- 2:28:26Speaker 2: Rising turns and gives it to McKay bernard. The guy
- 2:28:29Speaker 2: through the hole keeps his foot feet pushing, reaches about
- 2:28:32Speaker 2: the thirty almost the twenty nine yard line. I'll give
- 2:28:34Speaker 2: him the twenty nine. It'll be fourth down and two
- 2:28:36Speaker 2: coming up, and the offense will stay out there for Utah.
- 2:28:40Speaker 2: I don't believe they'll kick a field goal here on fourth.
- 2:28:42Speaker 3: Down in two. Now, I just believe as much time
- 2:28:47Speaker 3: as you possibly can, you.
- 2:28:49Speaker 2: Dosk two for two on fourth down here tonight. Play
- 2:28:54Speaker 2: clock is in twenty. Game clock is at three fifteen,
- 2:28:58Speaker 2: fourth down and two, not far away from victory. Formation
- 2:29:04Speaker 2: got to convert this though, rising under center Bernard behind him,
- 2:29:11Speaker 2: turning to give McKay bernard straight ahead twenty five, twenty four,
- 2:29:14Speaker 2: twenty three, twenty two, twenty one yard line and a
- 2:29:18Speaker 2: first mile first down from McKay bernard a gain of eight.
- 2:29:22Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you there was there was a surgery
- 2:29:24Speaker 3: right there by Utah, and they just they came off
- 2:29:26Speaker 3: the ball. And I can't help but think a couple
- 2:29:29Speaker 3: of years ago when Utah's offensive line could not come
- 2:29:32Speaker 3: off the ball and convert a third or fourth down.
- 2:29:35Speaker 3: And they've done it several times this game. And I can.
- 2:29:38Speaker 2: Remember ten games ago when they couldn't do it. Yeah, yeah, true,
- 2:29:43Speaker 2: early in the season. What a turnaround it's been in
- 2:29:45Speaker 2: so many facets for this team first and ten from
- 2:29:48Speaker 2: the Oregon twenty one to twenty two on the game clock,
- 2:29:53Speaker 2: rising under center with Bernard behind him, changing the play
- 2:29:56Speaker 2: too one, turning a hand off McKay Bernard through a
- 2:30:00Speaker 2: hole and inside the twenty down to about the seventeen
- 2:30:04Speaker 2: for four yards goes Mackay Bernard. Trequez Bridges made the
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: tackle for Oregon.
- 2:30:11Speaker 3: And you know, I think people need to remember this
- 2:30:13Speaker 3: is Oregon. I mean, this is this is uh. This
- 2:30:17Speaker 3: has kind of been the poster child program for the
- 2:30:19Speaker 3: Pact Wealth and Utah has handed it to him twice
- 2:30:23Speaker 3: this year.
- 2:30:25Speaker 2: Utah's the big dog in the PAC twelve now and
- 2:30:28Speaker 2: they're gonna be good again next year. Too minute forty
- 2:30:32Speaker 2: to play clock, running play clock at ten. As they
- 2:30:34Speaker 2: break the huddle, Chris Curry the back of the ball,
- 2:30:36Speaker 2: game down for Utah from.
- 2:30:39Speaker 1: The Oregon seventeen.
- 2:30:40Speaker 2: Cam changing the play again, turns, takes the snap, hands
- 2:30:45Speaker 2: into Curry and flags.
- 2:30:46Speaker 6: Splot we'll start seventy seven offense, five yard penalty second out.
- 2:30:53Speaker 2: Cam waited a little long that time, and as a result,
- 2:30:57Speaker 2: Bambadelliola SETI flinch just a little bit, so back it
- 2:31:00Speaker 2: up to the twenty two it'll be second down in
- 2:31:04Speaker 2: eleven here with a minute twenty seven to play.
- 2:31:07Speaker 3: Yeah, tell you they can just get a hat on people.
- 2:31:13Speaker 3: Let the guy on the very far of this side
- 2:31:15Speaker 3: of this play go. Utah might pop this for a
- 2:31:17Speaker 3: touchdown because Organ's just got everybody up at the line
- 2:31:19Speaker 3: of screen.
- 2:31:20Speaker 2: Curry eight yards seven yards behind Cam rising on second
- 2:31:23Speaker 2: down and eleven, turning and give Chris Curry. Curry to
- 2:31:26Speaker 2: the twenty, Curry to the fifteen. To the fourteen, goes
- 2:31:29Speaker 2: Chris Curry for a game of eight yards. It'll be
- 2:31:34Speaker 2: third down. It's short here for Utah from the Oregon
- 2:31:37Speaker 2: fourteen yard line. Third down and three coming up.
- 2:31:40Speaker 3: Yeah, Chris Curry. Man, he's running, got those fresh, fresh legs. Hey,
- 2:31:43Speaker 3: he does, and you can just see it happen. It
- 2:31:47Speaker 3: runs hard, though, That's what you want right here, got
- 2:31:49Speaker 3: to run hard.
- 2:31:50Speaker 2: One minute to play a first down in Utah can
- 2:31:53Speaker 2: assume the victory formation. What's the best formation in football?
- 2:31:55Speaker 2: Scott gotta love that one. That facts, that's the first
- 2:31:58Speaker 2: play you should practice.
- 2:32:00Speaker 1: Victory third down in three play clock at seven.
- 2:32:05Speaker 2: Utah fans to their feet, rising under center, turns and
- 2:32:10Speaker 2: gives again Chris Curry. Curry pushes his way to the
- 2:32:16Speaker 2: thirteen yard line and Utah is not gonna have to
- 2:32:20Speaker 2: snap it again. Wow, Utah fans come to their feet.
