• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Utah fans, Good evening and welcome to a wet rice
• 0:03
  Ecle Stadium. We have had mother Nature in full effect
• 0:07
  for the last hour and a half. But we're ready
• 0:09
  to play some football here on a Saturday night, and
• 0:12
  it's a big women between the University of Utah and
• 0:15
  the Arizona.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: State Sun Devils.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm Bill Riley, so good to be with you, and
• 0:18
  I joined by my broadcast partner upstairs, Scott Mitchell, and
• 0:21
  we'll check in with a third member of a broadcast team,
• 0:23
  Stevenson Sylvester. Momentarily, Scott, the heavens opened up and really
• 0:28
  let loose for about the last hour and a half,
• 0:30
  still raining here at Rice Ecles, but the wind has
• 0:32
  died down. The crowd slowly but surely making its way in,
• 0:35
  and we're gonna have some football here in a couple minutes.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we are in. This is a big game. I mean,
• 0:39
  you know, with Utah and Arizona State buying for a
• 0:43
  chance to go back when the conference. A lot of
• 0:45
  crazy stuff's happening in the conference right now, but it's
• 0:47
  a must win here. Clearly there's rain, it's been moved
• 0:51
  just a little bit. You've warmed up a little different,
• 0:53
  But you got to figure out how to get ready
• 0:55
  to play and how to get this game going right,
• 0:57
  right from the get go. And you just can't let
• 0:59
  the weather, you can't let the change in your rhythm
• 1:02
  affect You just got to get ready to play football.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Utah won the lost the toss. ASU won the toss.
• 1:07
  The will the first. Well, we'll see the Utah offense first.
• 1:09
  But when ASU comes out tonight, Scott, they will not
• 1:11
  have their starting quarterback and leader, Sam Levitt. He's out tonight. Instead,
• 1:15
  six years senior Jeff Simms will start for Arizona State.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jeff Simms been around a lot, you know, he's
• 1:20
  played played a decent amount of football, and but not recently.
• 1:23
  And and how much time did he really get to
• 1:26
  prepare We don't know. I mean, they clearly had the
• 1:27
  bye week, so maybe he's had more time. You don't
• 1:30
  have a good book on him, so it's a little
• 1:32
  bit hard to know how to defend him. But he
• 1:34
  also hasn't played much, you know, so it's kind of
• 1:36
  a two edged sword. You can't all of a sudden
• 1:39
  you say, hey, Sam Levitt's not in and you got
• 1:40
  to lighten up. You really have to play this game
• 1:43
  the same as you would. But Sam sam Levitt is
• 1:47
  a is a huge loss for Arizona State. He's the
• 1:49
  guy that really makes it go. He's he's got a
• 1:52
  lot of experience. Took him to the college football playoffs
• 1:55
  last year, so it'll be it'll be a big miss
• 1:57
  for Arizona State.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Broadcast tonight being brought you by University of Utah Health
• 2:01
  and a Huntsman Mental Health Foundation, proud to support the
• 2:04
  Camic Carolyn Gardner Mental Health Crisis Center in South Salt Lake.
• 2:08
  You can find them online at HMHF dot org.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Also being brought to you tonight by a Snowbird. We're
• 2:14
  October fastest back one more day. That's tomorrow at Snowbird
• 2:18
  up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Third member of our broadcast team
• 2:21
  is out of the elements tonight. We'll get to him
• 2:24
  coming up here in just a couple of moments.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Utah will begin.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Tonight, coming off the bye week with an offense that
• 2:30
  looked good at West Virginia Scott. How does the weather tonight,
• 2:33
  if it all change what Utah might want to do?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a little bit harder to throw. It's really
• 2:38
  lightened up a lot. I don't know how much because
• 2:41
  there's not a lot of wind involved. If you're a
• 2:43
  quarterback can keep your hands dry, you can throw the
• 2:45
  ball fairly effective. But it's about ball security. You really
• 2:48
  have to work wide receivers, you know, they got to
• 2:51
  get used to catching a ball that's a little bit wetter.
• 2:54
  It's hard to kind of see through the rain here.
• 2:56
  It has an impact on everything, but you just have
• 2:59
  to roll with the punch. I mean, Utah came out late,
• 3:01
  they warmed up late, they didn't leave the field like
• 3:04
  they normally do. And you just do what you have
• 3:06
  to do and still find ways to execute and be productive.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Haysius Gomez is gonna kick it from south to north
• 3:12
  to south here, Rice eycles, he'll have a little bit
• 3:14
  of a breeze in his back. It's been blowing from
• 3:17
  the west and from the north so far today and
• 3:20
  exactly where Utah will get it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: They'll be moving it from south to north here.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Ray Shawn Glover back deep to receive this kick off
• 3:29
  from Jesu's Gomez and Utah on the red jerseys, white pants,
• 3:33
  and red helmets. Tonight, the sun Devils in their dark
• 3:36
  red pants, white jerseys and dark helmets. If you're making
• 3:41
  your way back in, take your time, get to your seats.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: We've got a good football game lined up for you tonight.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: It's Utah and Arizona State. We're underway as Gomez puts
• 3:50
  his left foot.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Into it, and this one will not be returned out
• 3:53
  of the back of the end zone. It goes and
• 3:54
  Utah will start first and ten at its own twenty
• 3:57
  five yard line. The offense comes to the field tonight
• 4:00
  to you by but like easy to drink, it easy
• 4:03
  to enjoy, and I would guess Utah will want to
• 4:06
  establish that offensive line and physicality up front early.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really curious. You know, Utah has beaten teams
• 4:11
  that aren't very good, but they struggled against Texas Tech.
• 4:14
  Can Utah play well? Can they dominate the line of
• 4:16
  scrimmage control it against a very good football team.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Wasyshawn Parker in the backfield right now with Devin damp Pierre.
• 4:24
  Arizona State good against the run, giving up just seventy
• 4:27
  eight yards a game. They've got four down of the
• 4:29
  line of scrimmage and seven in the box right now.
• 4:31
  On first down in ten, they motioned Parker out of
• 4:33
  the backfield. Dam Pier's gonna throw to the outside. He
• 4:36
  throws low and incomplete. He skips it incomplete looking for
• 4:40
  was Shawn Parker a little surprised on that throw on
• 4:42
  first down it goes incomplete.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Second down coming up.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is an interesting thing, you know, made part
• 4:46
  of it. I mean, it's really not raining right now,
• 4:49
  but that clearly the ball and the wetness or whatever
• 4:52
  affected Devin's ability throw an accurate ball.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Second down in ten for the twenty five for Utah.
• 4:58
  They're gonna run at this time. Wait, Sean Parker off
• 5:00
  that right side, keeps the legs churning and picks up
• 5:03
  three to twenty eight yard line. Third down in long
• 5:05
  coming got Keyshawn Elliott, outstanding linebacker for the Devils, makes
• 5:09
  the stop. Third down coming up.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And I think this is the thing Utah is gonna
• 5:12
  see him. And they had seven guys at the line
• 5:14
  of scrimmage. They're gonna really test and see you know
• 5:16
  if you talk and run the football. Two receivers to
• 5:19
  the left and a tight end to the right. Third
• 5:24
  down and seven bat Parker motions. And now they're gonna
• 5:28
  look to throw down the field. Man open caught first
• 5:31
  down yardage beyond the forty and after the forty one
• 5:34
  yard line goes Dallan Bentley, second favorite target all the year.
• 5:37
  Bentley with his twenty third catching at Utah first down. Yeah,
• 5:40
  really good read by Devin. You know it wasn't open
• 5:42
  right away looking for that little pop pass early, but
• 5:45
  down just kept working across the field get get the
• 5:47
  first down.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: From the forty one first down, Devon's gonna keep it
• 5:50
  himself out of the left hand side, picking his way
• 5:52
  forward and times down at about the forty five yard
• 5:55
  line for a game of four yards on first down.
• 5:57
  You can tell Scott he looks better on that angle.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and you know it feels very comfortable. That's
• 6:01
  the thing you want to see. Can he run because
• 6:02
  if he can run, Yeah, he looks full speed there
• 6:05
  and you know makes a nice run five yards.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Utah going with tempo here on second down and six,
• 6:11
  they're gonna give it to Parker this time out on
• 6:12
  that right side.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: He's got the edge fifty and.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Hesu territory and down at the sun Devil forty four
• 6:17
  yard line. A nice run that time by way Sean Parker.
• 6:22
  First down yardage and Utah is gonna go quick.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Well, it's way early in the game, but this Utah
• 6:27
  football team looks like they've had a bye week. They
• 6:29
  look fresh. Legs, fast moving, churning. They look good.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Two receivers split wide to the right hand side on
• 6:35
  first and ten from the Devil forty four hand off
• 6:38
  Parker again, right side again, diving forward again, and he'll
• 6:42
  get down to about the forty one of ASU. Pickup
• 6:45
  of three. He didn't give him that extra bit of
• 6:48
  yardage at the end. Kendrick Breelove made the tackle for
• 6:51
  Asu second down in seven, coming up.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Kind of a repeat of last week. Just a lot
• 6:55
  of run downhill running here early in this game.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Parker stays in the ballgame.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: On second down in seven, Devin in the shotgun with
• 7:02
  two tight ends. He's gonna hand it again left side.
• 7:05
  Parker bouncing to the outside, picks up two to about
• 7:08
  the thirty nine yard line. Tate Romney, the former BYU
• 7:11
  Cougar now Asu Sun Devil made the tackle down at
• 7:15
  about five coming up.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I spoke too early. That was he's got a plant
• 7:19
  get up field there. That got drug out way too far.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Utah one for one on third down so far here
• 7:26
  today in the shotgun. They'll bring a man in motion
• 7:29
  across the formation. Here comes the Blitz that's off side
• 7:31
  on ASU free play for Utah. They're gonna take a
• 7:34
  shot down the field and it's dropped it in complete,
• 7:38
  trying to get Ryan Davis, but it won't matter Sun
• 7:41
  Devil's bluff. The Blitz then came with it and jumped
• 7:43
  off side. That'll be a first down for Utah. He's
• 7:45
  just a little bit early there.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: If Devin throws that ball accurately, if you really see
• 7:50
  he just said, I knew I had a free play,
• 7:51
  But Ryan dams run down the middle of the field.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Defenalty results in a first down.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: You got to see that hit him on stride. That's touchdown.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It's not just five yards. It's a touchdown or at
• 8:02
  least a first and goal situation. Instead, it is a
• 8:05
  first down. They'll move it to the ASU thirty four
• 8:07
  and the drive stays alive here for Utah, scoreless and
• 8:10
  just underway twelve seventeen to play. Here in the first quarter,
• 8:13
  Utah moving on the Sun Devil defense. Rogers in the
• 8:18
  ballgame at tailback, Dallan Bentley comes in motion. Two tights
• 8:22
  and two wides here for Utah. Devin looks to the sideline.
• 8:26
  Now he brings Bentley back in in motion and what
• 8:28
  do we have a time out taken by Utah?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Well, they weren't in I llegal formation. Someone didn't know
• 8:32
  it had too many guys off the line of scrimmage there. Huh.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: It's you know, Utah their first charge of a half
• 8:39
  for thirty seconds.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: So hard when you burnt tight tight timeouts. A lot
• 8:45
  of coaches say, I'd rather eat the five yards and
• 8:47
  keep the timeout.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go downstairs for our first Ken Garth sideline update. Sly,
• 8:51
  you're out in the ring, give us a weather update
• 8:53
  on how things are down on the field right now.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the rain is actually really really light, so it's
• 8:58
  not a huge issue at all. Now, when I stepped
• 9:01
  onto the football field, it's a little puddly. There's some
• 9:03
  areas where it touched, but it's the turf. It actually
• 9:06
  absorbs really well, so there really shouldn't be an issue.
• 9:09
  I don't even think there should be an issue with slippage.
• 9:12
  I love the crowd. Actually, there's more people in the
• 9:14
  crowd than I thought there was going to be. People
• 9:16
  are still filing.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: In from the rain to lay out of boy Utah fans,
• 9:20
  make your way back in from your cars and the concourse.
• 9:23
  A sideline update brought to you by Ken Garth. We
• 9:25
  hear you is puddly an official turf.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a slight turn, but the mistiness that's really
• 9:31
  good for your skin and your complexion.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: He'll be glowing later tonight. The warden will be happy
• 9:36
  when he gets up. Three receivers at a tight end.
• 9:38
  Rogers the tailback. They're gonna run option to the right
• 9:40
  hand side, run pass option on the outside and caught.
• 9:44
  He's got his man Ryan Davis inside the thirty and
• 9:47
  down to the ASU twenty six yard line for a
• 9:49
  gain of eight on first down. Davis is the second
• 9:52
  leading receiver in the pack at Big twelve Conference with
• 9:55
  now forty catches on the year. Make it thirty seven
• 9:58
  catches on the year. Get a two handoff Rogers picking
• 10:01
  his way forward close to first down yard it's the shove,
• 10:04
  put him backwards. I think they're gonna mark him about
• 10:07
  a half yard shy. I gave him about one and
• 10:09
  a half. A gang of Devil's tackled even about the
• 10:12
  twenty five yard line. Third down and one coming up. Yeah,
• 10:14
  it's interesting. I mean, no one blocked the end there,
• 10:16
  but man Utah is getting a nice surge of the
• 10:18
  off the line of scrimmage right now. Bentley in the
• 10:20
  backfield along with Rogers. On third down and one, they
• 10:22
  handed to the car. He's into the second level and
• 10:25
  down at the twenty yard line with a gain of
• 10:27
  five and another first down. Breedlove made the tackle when
• 10:30
  Utah's got it for the first time tonight in the
• 10:33
  Canonview Credit Union red zone.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: First and ten.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they keep doing that, and they keep getting a
• 10:37
  hat on a hat they can get four or five
• 10:38
  yards every run.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Man comes in motion across the formation they handed. That
• 10:44
  is the talented freshman on the inside and moving down
• 10:48
  Daniel Bray. Daniel Bray picks up seven to the thirteen
• 10:52
  yard line, freshman out of Dallas, Texas.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Coach Witz that we'd see him, and we did, and
• 10:57
  what a nice play there, and that's a big game
• 10:59
  on gain on first down.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Rogers at the backfield. On second down and three, Ray
• 11:03
  comes in motion again hand to Rogers. Nacari slips and
• 11:07
  falls just behind the line of Scrimmager right there at it.
• 11:10
  Third down and short coming up. CJ Fight big old
• 11:13
  defensive tackle made the play. Third down coming up.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: You have to wonder how the how the water and
• 11:17
  the places on the field impacts guys putting.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Two for two on third down, third down and three
• 11:23
  here for Utah. Hand off Rogers into the pile and
• 11:27
  he's going to be short Scott by about a yard
• 11:29
  and a half.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Almost two yards.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's uh that.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I think Utah is gonna go for it here.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure they will. And and uh, you know Devin,
• 11:37
  I think he's like, oh man, I should have kept
• 11:39
  that one. Yeah, he thinks he would have had the
• 11:40
  first down had he kept that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So fourth down and two, first big play of the
• 11:45
  night for Utah. They've got to get to the ten
• 11:48
  yard line. They're at about the twelve. Daniel bring in
• 11:51
  the backfield. Late subs here for ASU and now what
• 11:55
  are we going to have a time out? Taken by
• 11:56
  the sun Devils this time? They didn't like the defensive alignment.
• 12:01
  Late substitutions weren't working for them. We're gonna keep it
• 12:03
  right here. Ten oh one Arizona State to play in
• 12:06
  the first You got fourth and two at the ASU
• 12:10
  twelve yard line. Are broadcast tonight being brought to you
• 12:12
  by Pepsi and Smiths. Pepsi was made for utes watching.
• 12:16
  So a big call here early not taking the points
• 12:19
  but trying to get the touchdown.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an interesting call here, but you know, I
• 12:22
  like the aggressiveness. Utah has been real aggressive so far
• 12:25
  on offensive, like the tempo, really running downhill. Wouldn't be
• 12:28
  surprised if you see a little rpo from Devon, you know,
• 12:32
  fake it to the back, run on the edge, see
• 12:34
  if he gets it. If not, dumping to a guy
• 12:35
  in the flat. That's probably probably the play though. And
• 12:38
  it's nice too because it's the white side of the
• 12:40
  field is to Devon's throwing side, so you got plenty
• 12:43
  of room to you know, pick any option you want,
• 12:46
  balls ulf, a lot of options.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Balls up the left hash here at the twelve of ASU,
• 12:51
  almost five minutes gone by. This Utah drive began at
• 12:53
  their own twenty five yard line. You took two for
• 12:57
  three now on third down, so their first fourth down
• 12:59
  opportunity tonight. Daniel Bray stays in the ballgame. He's of
• 13:04
  the backfield. They moved the strength to the left hand side.
• 13:08
  Devon's in the shotgun, takes the snap keeps it himself,
• 13:12
  Devin to the.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: Five to the boarder, the three two one touchdown untouched
• 13:18
  into the north that zone goes Devin dam Pear and
• 13:22
  the huge strike first on a rainy Saturday night in
• 13:25
  Salt Lake City.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no one's covering the cornerback. They've tight man coverage,
• 13:30
  sind Daniel Bray. Looks like it's gonna be a sweet
• 13:32
  to the white side. Maybe a bit of a key
• 13:35
  breaker right there, because they ran that counter to the
• 13:37
  backside to the quarterback, something you hadn't really shown all year.
• 13:41
  And of course it's wide open, untouched for a touchdown.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: A Pepsi touchdown for Utah and Devin damp here into
• 13:47
  the end zone for Devin this year is third rushing touchdown.
• 13:52
  Dylan Curtis on to attempt the pat The kick is
• 13:57
  up and it's good. And with nine to fifty six
• 14:01
  to play here in the first Utah with an impressive
• 14:03
  opening drive. Fourteen plays seventy five yards five to zho
• 14:08
  four off the game clock and they lead it seven
• 14:10
  to nothing. We'll take a time out back to rice
• 14:12

• 14:26
  Utah down to the sideline, we go. Pretty impressive opening
• 14:29
  drive slide.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, very impressive opening drives, establishing the run, establishing mentality,
• 14:34
  even the pass protection on some of those passes.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: You heard Michael Mochofiesi.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: He made a loud.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Injection with one of the blitzers that came in. The
• 14:43
  crowd went crazy. But on that touchdown it was extremely
• 14:47
  great play call by coach Beck. They did an unbalanced
• 14:50
  shift and then when you run wildcat the quarter it's
• 14:53
  really hard to defend because normally you have an extra
• 14:56
  defender in the box because the quarterback is handing it off.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: When the quarterback keep say, you don't have that extra defender.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: So with the unbalanced shift, Arizona didn't adjust to that
• 15:05
  quarterback kept it.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: He was wide open.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Great play call and Utah leads at seven nothing. Dylan
• 15:10
  Curtis will kick off from the south end to the
• 15:12
  north end of light. Rain continues to fall, Utah fans
• 15:14
  continuing to make their way back into stadium.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Very impressive.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: We had a real frog strangler here for about an
• 15:22
  hour and a half, lightning, rain, wind and everything. But
• 15:26
  good to have the folks back in here, Realike Brown
• 15:28
  and Jaren Hamilton back deep to receive this Curtis kick.
• 15:34
  Take it for the four yard line, though Leak Brown
• 15:36
  is just gonna fare catch it into six and they'll
• 15:38
  begin first to ten at the twenty five yard line.
• 15:41
  And we're gonna get a look at Jeff Simps, who
• 15:43
  started one game a year ago, played in four, but
• 15:47
  he really hasn't played anything meaningful since his last year
• 15:50
  at Nebraska about three years ago.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Scott, Yeah, and it'll be fascinating how much time he's got.
• 15:54
  You know. The other side of it is how will
• 15:56
  Utah adjust to the injuries they've had in the secondary,
• 15:59
  and will au try to exploit that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Relie Bram will be the tailback and he's a good one.
• 16:05
  He's over five hundred yards rushing on the season. Three receivers,
• 16:08
  a tight end to the left slot. You're talking a
• 16:10
  crowd the light of scrimmage. Jeff Sim's in the shotgun
• 16:13
  on first down in ten play action pass on first down,
• 16:16
  Sim's gonna take a shot down the field he's looking
• 16:19
  for Jordan Tyson patted away and incomplete. Elijah Davis had
• 16:24
  the coverage.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: They are saying, all right, we're gonna challenge you right
• 16:29
  out of the gate. It's rainy at Salt Lake City.
• 16:31
  You haven't played. We're gonna put a bunch of guys in.
• 16:33
  But but it was Jared Hamilton, not Tyson. D Tyson
• 16:37
  tight man coverage there for Utah. They're playing aggressive early here.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: So second down in ten pistol formation this time, good
• 16:44
  coverage by the Utes on first and tent tight end
• 16:46
  off off offset the left slot here. Sims is gonna
• 16:51
  take it and keep it out on the edge himself.
• 16:53
  He'll be tricked up and taken down. John Henry Day
• 16:58
  made the tackle after a two and a half yard
• 17:00
  game third down and long coming up.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, great play by John Henry I mean he's out
• 17:05
  flank there, but just the hustle, the effort, open field
• 17:08
  tackle like that. Boy, that's just so impressive by and
• 17:10
  he's just been such an impressive player all year long.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Passing down now for Jeff Simms, he'll put four receivers
• 17:18
  into the pattern. He'll have the tailback Lak Brown who
• 17:20
  is a target out of the backfield Utah with a
• 17:22
  four man down front. Right now, let's see if they
• 17:24
  play coverage behind. Now they motioned the back out of
• 17:27
  the backfield, Utah showing pressure. Here they come on Sims
• 17:30
  over the middle, complete but short of first down yardage,
• 17:34
  trying to get that ball to Derek Yuseabio and he
• 17:37
  caught it, and it's gonna be fourth down at about
• 17:40
  a yard and Assu's keeping the offense out there.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Oh that's bold right there. Look for the quarterbacks who.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Run the ball, and it's a weird formation they're lining
• 17:48
  up in right now. Utah is gonna have to try
• 17:50
  to defend it. Sims in the center are the only
• 17:52
  ones there. Now they'll shift in and he'll shift back
• 17:54
  into the shotgun. Lak Brown is the tailback on fourth
• 17:58
  and one from their own thirty four yard up, Sims
• 18:01
  in the gun.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: He's gonna hand it to Brown.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Brown has got first down yard It's just squirts throw
• 18:09
  on the left hand side, tackled by Joe delaaa and
• 18:12
  that'll be a first down.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Gutsy call early by Kenny Dellaghan.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and a pretty intricate play there, you know, you
• 18:17
  see Jeff Simms being able to handle it so far,
• 18:19
  so maybe he's gotten a little bit more playing time.
• 18:22
  That's pretty complex to be able to run that. If
• 18:24
  you don't get the reps, you're not going to do that.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Two receivers now three split to the right hand side
• 18:30
  here and Releak Brown stays in on first and ten
• 18:32
  from their own thirty seven yard block. Four man now
• 18:35
  five man down front for Utah. Sims takes the high snap,
• 18:43
  the hands at the Brown who bounces to the outside.
• 18:45
  He's got speed to the outside. He'll pick up eight
• 18:47
  almost nine yards, forced out of bounds by Jackson. Betty
• 18:50
  good to see Jackson back in the line up after
• 18:52
  he tweaked his angle in West Virginia. But there you
• 18:55
  can see the speed of Relite Brown.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you got to see that. You know, you
• 18:58
  got two defenders kind of cut that gap there. Someone's
• 19:01
  got to be on the outside too. It looks like
• 19:02
  two guys doing the same thing.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: They'll give him eight on that carry. Second down in
• 19:06
  two trips to the right hand side here on second
• 19:08
  and two. We'll see if they throw it here for
• 19:11
  the forty five yard line. Sims again, hands again, Releak Brown,
• 19:17
  again into the open field into Utah territory and down
• 19:20
  to the Utah forty four Benny again with the tackle,
• 19:24
  and that was a good push up by AA shooting
• 19:26
  another first down now for the Devils.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and these backs are patient and they wait for
• 19:29
  the hole and they explode throw it here. Utah is
• 19:32
  just kind of back on its heels a little bit,
• 19:34
  not feeling totally confident what they're seeing from Asu.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: You know, now in the ball game, the Army transfer
• 19:41
  two receivers right, one to the left and a tight
• 19:43
  end to the left slot on first and ten for
• 19:45
  the Utah forty four Sims Clay action role looking down
• 19:49
  the field, firing down the field high as he was
• 19:52
  trying to squeeze that ball into Jordan Tyson, the best
• 19:55
  white receiver of the Big twelve Conference, Tyson with thirty
• 19:58
  nine catches, four hundred and eighty three yards and seven
• 20:01
  touchdowns coming in.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Tyson is their main dude right there. And
• 20:05
  it's good to see the covers. You know, Utah's challenging
• 20:08
  him with the wide receivers, which means you should be
• 20:10
  able to get more guys in the box to stop
• 20:13
  the run.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You're gonna see a fair bit of match covers tonight,
• 20:17
  not on display, though smith Stoke will follow Jordan Tyson
• 20:20
  a lot. Second down in ten, sim, what's gonna keep it? Sim,
• 20:28
  Let's get to the outside tripped up and take him
• 20:30
  down after a game of about a yard to about
• 20:33
  the forty three yard line. It was Lance Holtzquaw that
• 20:36
  made the tackle that time, third down and long again.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Really really more of what I would expect. You know,
• 20:40
  when you go tight man coverage, you should be able
• 20:42
  to get more guys in the box and really be
• 20:44
  able to shut down the run, which Utah did right
• 20:46
  there on that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Play Devil's zero for one on third down they converted
• 20:49
  a fourth the last time where Lake Brown stays in
• 20:52
  the ball game. Two receivers now three bunch to the
• 20:57
  left hand side from the Utah forty three sims in
• 21:00
  the shotgun.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Hands at the Brown.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Brown is stacked up at the line of scrimmage and
• 21:06
  pushes forward for about a yard and a half. John
• 21:09
  who Hal made the tackle along with a leak I
• 21:11
  Viamhi And now decision time again here for Kenny Dillingham.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: How's it gonna keep the offense out there? And I
• 21:18
  think the decision was made with that run. You know,
• 21:20
  if you're gonna run a ball like that on third
• 21:22
  and long, you clearly are looking at this as two
• 21:25
  down territory.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I think you were hoping for more yardies right
• 21:28
  on third. It's fourth and seven. Now they converted their
• 21:30
  last fourth down brown the back of the backfield. Jeff Simms,
• 21:35
  the quarterback, four receivers in the pattern fourth and seven,
• 21:43
  sims to pass blitz, coming throws the flankers screen Jordan Tyson.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: He's got the first down needed.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Seven and he got eight. And the hit came just
• 21:54
  as he released the ball. And let's see, is there
• 21:56
  a flag down?
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: There is not.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: They're just checking to make sure he got it, and
• 22:00
  he did so it's a first down for ASU.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's in a lot of ways. It's a
• 22:05
  good call to have on a blitz. You know, if
• 22:07
  you hit it, you're gonna get some decent yardage on it.
• 22:10
  It looks like, I don't know, it looked like he
• 22:12
  was down before he got the yardage, but seemed like
• 22:15
  a pretty generous spot.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: You know, in the ballgame, at tail back at a
• 22:20
  pistol two left and two on the right hand side,
• 22:23
  pass catchers here for ASU first and ten from the
• 22:26
  Utah thirty four. Sims hands tail back, keeps his footing,
• 22:31
  and then he's stacked up. Smith Snoden shot the gap,
• 22:35
  grabbed him around the ankles. He broke that tackle, then
• 22:38
  fell down. It'll be second down at nine.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nice tackle there on the open field by Smith's note.
• 22:43
  And then you know Utah again. I really like the aggressiveness,
• 22:47
  but they're just just not quite getting the stops on
• 22:50
  the run.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: They need to u those stays in the ballgame.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Second down to nine, Utah crowding the line of scrimmage,
• 22:56
  press man on the outside, Sims in the shotgun. He's
• 23:00
  gonna pass play action, look Sims down the field, taking
• 23:03
  a shot toward the end zone. Upcut, incomplete, incomplete, oh man,
• 23:11
  Malik McClain had it in his hands, couldn't hold on
• 23:15
  the coverage out there by Blake Cotton, And you know, overall,
• 23:19
  I just really like this this secondary and the aggressiveness.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, that'd be a tough catch right there,
• 23:24
  but it's pretty good coverage. ASU is zero for two
• 23:28
  on third down. They face a third down and nine
• 23:32
  dudos station the ball game. Two receivers left, two receivers
• 23:37
  right for the Utah thirty three sims to pass pressure coming.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Down the field has a man incomplete flagslive. It's gonna
• 23:52
  be pass interference on Utah. They're gonna get pass interference
• 23:56
  on Utah. I think they're gonna get it on Jackson Benny.
• 24:00
  The pass was thrown short. Enticson tried to come back
• 24:04
  to it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: It's really one of those things where it's the throws back.
• 24:08
  He got hit as he let it go.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Defense number two, fifteen yard penalty on.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: A man first. Yeah, it's really it's really a situation
• 24:18
  where you know, you get penalized for doing a good job.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: You know, they're all conference center is down on the
• 24:23
  field being tended to right now. That's Ben Coleman. That
• 24:27
  penalty went on smith Snow, not on Jackson Benny. They
• 24:29
  were both out there and again, yeah, a bit of
• 24:33
  an acting job, if you ask me, I just really
• 24:36
  don't jacting job.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't agree with that. Call your time out.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have a time out on the field. Will
• 24:40
  come back on the other side. It'll be first and
• 24:42
  ten for Asue at Utah seven in Arizona State, nothing
• 24:46
  four oh two to play here. The first quarter and
• 24:48
  this is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports
• 24:51
  Radio Network four oh two to play here the first quarter,
• 24:53
  seven nothing Utah and Ashu was on the move with
• 24:56
  a backup quarterback Jeff since first and ten at the
• 24:58
  Utah nineteen yard line. I brought cast to night being
• 25:00
  brought to you by c our Anglot committed to fighting
• 25:02
  childhood hunger. They fed nearly thirteen million children since twenty eighteen.
• 25:06
  For every load they delivered in every yard that Utah games,
• 25:09
  a hungry child gets fed. Text feed of Utah kids
• 25:11
  to forty one, four to four to four. Today we
• 25:14
  saw the angles. He was probably a good call on
• 25:16
  pass interference. Scott Utah brought the blitz and they got
• 25:19
  to Sims just as he released the ball and he
• 25:22
  was able to get rid of it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: That's why the pass was short.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's unfortunate. You know, you do everything right
• 25:26
  and you get penalized for it, and you know it's
• 25:28
  a judgment called by the official. It was a little
• 25:31
  twisted and contorted and looked like it could have possibly
• 25:33
  been but it's Utah is just a little bit short,
• 25:35
  you know, clearly. Right now they're saying We're going to
• 25:37
  come after Jeff Simms. We're going to see if you
• 25:39
  can beat us. Right now, Utah's or ASU's out of
• 25:42
  willingness to throw the ball. Keep staying, keep using that pressure.
• 25:45
  You're going to get to him eventually.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Two receivers left tight end of the left slot as well,
• 25:51
  Relake Brown back of the ball, game first and ten
• 25:53
  Asu from the Utah nineteen four h two to play,
• 25:57
  first quarter, seven to nothing. Utah Sim's changing the play
• 26:01
  out of the time out backup center in they turn
• 26:07
  and give the Relak Brown. He's got the left edge
• 26:10
  inside the fifteen and rolls down close to the thirteen
• 26:14
  yard line for a game of five almost five and
• 26:16
  a half yards. And by the way, Ben Coleman.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Holding offense number fifty five, ten yard penalty three.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: Piet first down.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Oh b bo got called for a hold. That's a big,
• 26:26
  big play for youth. I was about to say, Ben Coleman,
• 26:28
  that's a big loss for them. He's a preseason All
• 26:30
  Pack twelve center. His dad was a very good offensive
• 26:32
  line in himself too.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is that center goes down and he's the
• 26:36
  guy that makes everything go. And this offensive line is
• 26:39
  very solid, very good. You know they're doing an excellent shop.
• 26:43
  Of course, right there, clearly there was a hole because
• 26:45
  it looked like Utah might have had that play in
• 26:47
  the backfield had they not had the holding film.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Backet up to the twenty eight yard line. First down
• 26:51
  in twenty now for ASU three forty five to play.
• 26:54
  Here in the first quarter, Sims again changing the play.
• 26:58
  Lak Brown stays in a tail. Two receivers left. Two
• 27:01
  receivers right here for the Sun Devils, Utah showing pressure again.
• 27:06
  Here they come again, Simms throwing toward the corner. It's up,
• 27:10
  it's and a bounds incomplete again going for Jordan Tyson.
• 27:15
  Good coverage out there by Blake Cotton.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I tell you this is this is fascinating right here football.
• 27:22
  It's like we are coming after you. We are gonna
• 27:24
  go tight man coverage, and it's been impressive by the
• 27:27
  secondary so far. Someone's gonna break here. The quarterback's either
• 27:31
  gonna get hit, sacked, or they're gonna make a play.
• 27:33
  But this is uh mano umano football right now. Kenny
• 27:37
  Dillingham is not backing off with a backup quarterback. That
• 27:40
  is for sure.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Three receivers right on second down and twenty now they
• 27:44
  bring Relief Brown to the left of the quarterback Jeff Simms.
• 27:48
  Sims is going to backpedal the pass pressure again, throwing
• 27:51
  that fade again down the field incomplete. Smith Snowton at
• 27:54
  the coverage that time on Jordan Tyson. Do you like
• 27:57
  the idea of match coverage, Scott Their matching with Smith
• 27:59
  snow up a lot.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. I you know, after a while, you
• 28:02
  get because you get really comfortable with the guy, you know,
• 28:05
  and he's right, I mean he's right on him the
• 28:07
  whole way, And yeah, I love it. Look, it's clear
• 28:10
  Jeff Simms has gotten more practice than just a couple
• 28:12
  of days. I'm sure the bide week has helped them
• 28:15
  get him get him ready to play tonight.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Tight end splits out wide the left hand side, Tyson
• 28:20
  to the left slot, two receivers on the right. Third
• 28:22
  down and twenty now from the Utah twenty eight, Jordan
• 28:25
  Tyson comes in motion left to right. Sims is going
• 28:29
  to pass again screen in the flat to Relak Brown
• 28:31
  and he is going to be knocked out of bounds,
• 28:34
  but not before he gets pretty good yardage down to
• 28:37
  about the Utah twenty one yard line. Dallas Paka Lahi
• 28:40
  comes in to make the tackle. And now this one's
• 28:42
  a little too far for Kenny Dilligham to go for
• 28:45
  to be third down at about thirteen, and so they'll
• 28:48
  bring out Hayesus Skolmez and attempt a field goal.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: And he's missed some kicks. It's a little, you know,
• 28:53
  a little shaky here. And it might be the aggressiveness
• 28:55
  with why he's gone for a lot of these. You know,
• 28:58
  Third and thirteen might be a half a yard too
• 29:00
  long for Kenny dilling A tonight because he seems super
• 29:02
  aggressive in his calls.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: This one's a thirty nine yard field goal from the
• 29:06
  left hash for the lefty.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Heyesus go mess.

  Haysiu's Gomez left footed kicker kicking from north to south
• 30:48
  with a rain still falling here. Not had many kick
• 30:52
  returns this year at all. Here's a little line drive kick.
• 30:55
  It's gonna hit and go through. That's one you just
• 30:58
  let go and they do. Utah will begin first and
• 31:01
  ten outside there twenty five yard line, and Devin Dampier,
• 31:04
  who was good on the first drive, will come out
• 31:05
  here lead you to on a second drive.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a nice mix of pass and run. But
• 31:10
  I just love the downhillness of how Utah executed in
• 31:14
  that first drive.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Just coming out kicking team number five, that five yard
• 31:18
  penalty will be at it on the end of the kit.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, off side on it kick number fifteen. Wow.
• 31:25
  You don't see that very often.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: No, you don't. But Utah will happily take an extra
• 31:31
  five out of the thirty yard line.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Way.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Shawn Parker is going to be the tailback.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: He's lined up in the right slot, Devin by himself
• 31:40
  in the shotgun here on first down and ten, single
• 31:44
  wide receiver left and right here for Utah, Dallan Bentley
• 31:47
  the tight end to the left slot. Parker comes in motion,
• 31:50
  play action pass for Devon over the middle, low pass incomplete.
• 31:54
  Try to squeeze that into Larry Simmons. It was a
• 31:57
  little low coverage was good too. I'll bring up second down,
• 32:00
  super super.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Tight window there. You know, the linebackers didn't really get
• 32:05
  sucked in very much on that. But both drives here.
• 32:07
  Utah started out throwing.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Football on the first play, second down in ten. Now,
• 32:11
  Utah hasn't been behind the sticks too badly. Here tonight,
• 32:15
  Devin by himself in the shotgun. He brings run runner
• 32:18
  in the backfield. That's Daniel Bray. Bray, the freshman out
• 32:21
  across the thirty five, out across the forty and down
• 32:24
  to about the forty one yard line. Daniel Bray his
• 32:26
  second run tonight, picks up eleven tackled by Montana Warren.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Tell you that's a big play right there, and that's
• 32:31
  something no one's seen. The speed kills and there's some
• 32:34
  guys that run and they just don't get anywhere. But
• 32:36
  Daniel Pray, he got some mileage out of that run, right, Get.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: A little scoot at a giddy up of his two
• 32:42
  minutes to play clock running first in ten Utah. They're
• 32:45
  own forty one Rogers in the ball game. Now two
• 32:48
  tight ends on the left hand side for Utah, and
• 32:50
  now they've got a wide receiver out wide, Ryan Davis blocking.
• 32:53
  They hand that ball off the Rogers, who picks up
• 32:56
  three to about the forty three yard line. Tackle in
• 32:58
  the play by the middle linebacker Till Hughes.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: That's an interesting opticle right now because Utah's is getting
• 33:04
  such a surge off the ball, but then it just
• 33:06
  kind of gets stopped at two or three yards and
• 33:09
  there's nowhere to run. It just seems like they should
• 33:11
  get more out of these runs than they actually are.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Datas comes in tight, they shift the formation strength on
• 33:19
  the right hand side, empty backfield down.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Rogers comes in motion.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Devon's gonna roll to the rights, dump it in the
• 33:25
  flat to Bray Daniel Brigg gets up the field and
• 33:28
  beyond the forty five to about the forty five and
• 33:31
  a half yard line for a game of four almost
• 33:34
  five yards. Tate Romney was out there to make the tackle.
• 33:37
  If he makes that first fan miss, that speed up
• 33:40
  the sideline would have been something.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, it's kind of a neat thing
• 33:43
  to see him get involved in a little bit more
• 33:45
  of a way here, and great effort on the play
• 33:47
  to get what he got.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Third down and we'll call it about five here, Scott
• 33:51
  play action passed for Devin. Dan Peer throws it down
• 33:54
  the field at it's almost intercepted.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: All goodness.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: He was lucky the defensive back didn't come down with that.
• 34:01
  Dallan Bentley was the intended target. And that's gonna bring
• 34:04
  out fourth and five, and I think that's gonna bring
• 34:06
  the punt team out here for Utah with thirty seconds,
• 34:08
  making fifty seconds to play here the first quarter.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Devin had a guy wide open underneath there,
• 34:15
  and you know your blitz like that, you got a
• 34:17
  longer developing play. It's harder. You gotta kind of have
• 34:20
  a quick option there to get the ball out quicker
• 34:22
  so you don't get that pressure.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Ryan Phillips, who didn't punt against West Virginia, out to
• 34:27
  punt for the first time here tonight, fourth and five
• 34:30
  for their own forty six yard line. High snap. Phillips
• 34:33
  kick is short, it's high, it's end over it. They're
• 34:35
  gonna let it hit takes a Utah bounce inside the
• 34:39
  twenty and Utah will kill it at about the ASU sixteen.
• 34:42
  Wasn't esthetically the most pleasing looking punt, but it did
• 34:46
  its job and an eighty four yard field coming up
• 34:48
  here for Jeff Simms and the sundows, what went.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Wrong on that drive scot for Utah, Well, you know,
• 34:55
  it's unfortunate on that third down, you know where they
• 34:58
  had guys White open Devin just and get him the
• 35:00
  ball in that situation. And yeah, but other than that, well,
• 35:04
  the other thing too is it just seems like they
• 35:06
  should have gotten more out of the running game than
• 35:07
  they did. And they're getting a great surge, but then
• 35:11
  it's you know, they're they're closing nicely in those gaps
• 35:14
  on the defense ra issue.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Jeff Sims brings the offense back out thirty eight seconds
• 35:19
  to play. Here the first pistol formation with Relite Brown
• 35:22
  behind him Utah with four now five to the line
• 35:26
  of scrimmage. Brown moves to the right, Jeff Simms changing
• 35:30
  the play of the north end zone. Getting loud, rain
• 35:34
  continues to fall, Sims turns Gibbs Brown.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Eating up in the backfield.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: John Henry Daily swallowed him up back at the twelve
• 35:44
  yard line.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's clearly a run blitz, right, John Henry just
• 35:48
  did a beat for the back. You know, everyone has
• 35:50
  a responsibility and he was there before the quarterback could
• 35:53
  really make any decision on the play. But it's that pressure.
• 35:57
  Keep that pressure on. Eventually you're going to get there.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Sega down at four team game clock at twelve seconds.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: His asure gonna run another play. They're lined up to
• 36:08
  do it.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Sims is gonna backpedal to pass s blitz coming off
• 36:13
  the edge, Sims into the flat, completes it. That's to
• 36:16
  Jordan Tyson, He's gonna lose yardage. Smith Snowden made the
• 36:22
  tackle back of the nine yard line, and that's gonna
• 36:25
  be a loss of the first quarter. That's gonna be
• 36:31
  a loss of three more yards. Third down and long
• 36:33
  a seventeen coming up for ASU when we get back
• 36:37
  after a quarter. Here in Salt Lake City, it's Utah
• 36:39
  seven and Arizona State three. This is Utah Football from
• 36:43
  ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network. Tonight's

  Utah dot edu. First quarter numbers You tied eighty six
• 37:03
  yards sixty two on the ground, twenty four through the air,
• 37:06
  ran nineteen plays.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: He had six first.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Downs for ASU forty two yards seventeen through the air,
• 37:12
  twenty five on the ground, ran seventeen plays. Sun Devils
• 37:16
  had an eight minute to seven minute edge in time
• 37:19
  of possession. Utah leads at seven to three. You've got
• 37:22
  it first and ten right now do the US. We're actually,
• 37:25
  I should say third and seventeen here for ASU after
• 37:28
  a couple of good defensive plays by Utah. But all
• 37:31
  in all, a good first quarter when you consider everything
• 37:34
  was kind of disrupted pregame warm ups and everything by
• 37:37
  the rain. I thought Utah and a issue, frankly, came
• 37:39
  out and handled it pretty well.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah they really did, You didn't. You know? The rain
• 37:42
  really hasn't effected throwing the ball or pulling onto the
• 37:46
  ball so far. Right now. I love the pressure though
• 37:49
  that Utah is putting on this ASU offense. The first
• 37:52
  drive you know, just didn't quite get there. It's half
• 37:54
  a step slow here and there, but in this drive
• 37:57
  it's been different and they've really been able to to
• 38:00
  really smother and get to the quarterback. And of course say,
• 38:03
  you know, Asu hasn't gone anywhere to this point. In
• 38:05
  this drive, Asu flipped ends down. They've got a third
• 38:07
  and seventeen from their own nine yard line. They're backed
• 38:10
  up in the south end zone, not quite the same
• 38:12
  as the north end zone. From the noise standpoint here
• 38:15
  at ryce ecl Stateium. We'll see if they play a
• 38:17
  conservative here, and we'll see what Morgan Scalley decides to
• 38:20
  do as well.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Rid Leak Brown as your tailback. Jeff Simms continues as
• 38:24
  quarterback Sam leve it out tonight. Two receivers left, one
• 38:31
  to the right hand side, Jordan Tyson not at the
• 38:35
  ball game. Sims stands in the shotgun at his own
• 38:40
  three yard line. He's gonna pass just a four man
• 38:43
  rush for Utah. Now they're delayed, and here comes Sims
• 38:46
  and he's gonna try to run for it. Jeff Sims
• 38:48
  to the twenty and knock down at about the twenty
• 38:50
  two yard line.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: He'll be about four or four and a half yard
• 38:52
  shy of the first down.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: That'd be interesting. You see what Kenny Dillingham does right here.
• 38:59
  He does not like to put the ball. Of course,
• 39:01
  it's a hold against Asu.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, holding number fifty eight. Now's decline brings.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Up fourth down to be fourth out at about four.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: They got the right tackle that time, and it will
• 39:17
  be the punt team coming out here. Kendy Dillingham is
• 39:19
  a riverboat gambler, but he's not gambling that much, not.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: From this part of the field.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Now, great, great job by the Utah defense. I think
• 39:26
  Jeff Simms was looking to run the whole time on that.
• 39:30
  You know, just buy time in the pocket and get
• 39:32
  what you can get. Good open field tackled. It's good
• 39:34
  to see that to get, you know, stopped from getting
• 39:38
  a first amp.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Carvio standing at his own thirty seven canyon and Floyd
• 39:43
  the punter for the first time the nine three issue.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Out to the right.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Well, he's gonna kick him to the left, and that
• 39:49
  is a low line drive kick that's going to roll
• 39:52
  inside the forty five. They ran Carvallo off the ball
• 39:58
  to finally doubt it the Utah forty one yard line.
• 40:00
  I'm not sure what that was thirty six yard punt,
• 40:02
  had no return. He was trying to kick a low liner,
• 40:06
  but it was kind of scalded that like you sometimes
• 40:10
  hit a bad t shot.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and those are when the rain does kind of
• 40:14
  affect things. You know, you get it on your foot,
• 40:15
  he gets on the ball a little bit, you don't
• 40:17
  get quite that clean contact and grip that you normally
• 40:20
  would with the dry football.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: So Utah's got a good starting field position here at
• 40:25
  their own forty one way. Sean Parker will be the
• 40:26
  tailback fourteen thirty two to play here the first half
• 40:30
  seven to three. Utah got stopped on their last drive
• 40:33
  after scoring on a fourteen play seventy five yard drive
• 40:36
  to begin things, Dallan Bentley in the backfield.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: With Parker the hand to him.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Wy Shan bounces to the outside forty five fifty and
• 40:46
  steps out right there.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: It might be at the forty nine.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: We'll see where they forced him out of house, kind
• 40:50
  of market at the Utah forty nine for a gain
• 40:52
  of eight yards on first.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Out, saying that was a nice just really clean and crisp,
• 40:56
  and again it's you know, maybe guys are just sus
• 40:58
  standing in a box, just a little bit longer, but
• 41:00
  that's what I expect to see with this serge. You know,
• 41:03
  four or five yards.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Every time Rogers in the ballgame. Now two receivers. They
• 41:10
  list bu Can it as a receiver. On this play
• 41:12
  they handed again to Rogers. He's got first down yardage
• 41:15
  into Asu territory. Takes a big hit and goes down
• 41:18
  at the sun Devil forty seven picks up four yards,
• 41:20
  tackled by Keishn Elliott.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a nice run right there because there's not
• 41:25
  a lot of space there. It's that downhill running though.
• 41:28
  Just boom. He makes one cut, boom, gets right up field.
• 41:30
  Nice four yard game.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: First in ten Utah again going quickly hand off Rogers,
• 41:36
  picking his way straight ahead and falls forward to about
• 41:39
  the forty three yard line for a game of four.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: It's almost like he was anticipating contact there and he
• 41:44
  didn't get hit and it kind of threw him down
• 41:47
  to the ground right there. Because that just pretty decent
• 41:50
  game there.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Second down in six, Rogers stays at the ball game.
• 41:55
  Two tights and two wides for Utah. Damp here in
• 41:57
  the shotgun if you can it across the formation, Devin
• 42:01
  Rolls looks scrambles away from pressure, looking down the field.
• 42:05
  Still looking down the field, he's gonna have to get
• 42:06
  rid of it. Looking down the field, firing incomplete at
• 42:10
  the feet of his wide receiver that was Dallan Bentley
• 42:13
  in about the thirty seven yard line.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: He might have been better served just to run that
• 42:17
  football up the sideline. Yeah, I think so. But man,
• 42:19
  I'll tell you what. This is what we came to expect.
• 42:22
  And Devin Dampierre clearly is back from where he was,
• 42:25
  gets a great, great block right there. Ball may have
• 42:27
  slipped out of his hand on that thrower, been a
• 42:30
  completion there, but boy, that was That's fun to watch.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Let's call it now third down and six Utah two
• 42:35
  out of four on third down. See what they can
• 42:38
  get here. Roger stays in the ball game. Late substitution
• 42:41
  here for ASU eight on the play clock. Now for Utah.
• 42:44
  Devin out of the shotgun, brings Bray across the formation.
• 42:47
  He hands to Daniel Bray, who's got the edge forty
• 42:50
  get knocked out of bounds at about the thirty nine
• 42:52
  yard line.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: I got it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be about two yards shy of first down
• 42:57
  yardage pushed out there by Rodney Bimitch.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: It was like a terrible spot right there.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Probably about a full yard shin, maybe a yard and
• 43:04
  a half. You was gonna keep the offense out there
• 43:09
  beforeth down and just over a yard to go here
• 43:11
  for Utah twelve forty to play in the clock running
• 43:14
  Devin and the gun, first fourth down opportunity here for Utah.
• 43:19
  Moyai moves to the left hand side. The strength is
• 43:22
  on the left hand side. Now, Devin brings a man
• 43:24
  in motion, Gonna follow his blocker to the outside first
• 43:27
  down yardist to the inside inside the thirty five and
• 43:31
  down to the thirty three at Utah first down.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that play they ran for the touchdown
• 43:35
  earlier here and you know, got another guy injured, but
• 43:41
  just a great read and cut by Devin to cut
• 43:43
  back to the inside there and get more yardage.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Boogie Wilson was the man who tripped him up. Boogie
• 43:48
  Wilson might be the guy who's down on the play
• 43:50
  right here too, outstanding transfer safety from Washington States. We're
• 43:57
  gonna take an injury time out twelve sixteen to play
• 44:00
  here in the first half. Our first half brought to
• 44:02

• 44:22
  Temperature dropped about twenty degrees in about an hour and
• 44:25
  a half and we had a ton of rain, but

• 44:46
  Now it's seventh play. It's would be the seventh play
• 44:48
  of this drive.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and what's really standing out is Devin Dampierre seems
• 44:52
  to be back to being Devon Dampierre.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Devon by himself brings Daniel Bray in motion. Devon's gonna
• 44:59
  pass looking firing outside, caught on the outside and it'll
• 45:03
  be Tobias Meryweather right near the sticks. He'll be about
• 45:06
  a half yard. Shy, good patience by Devin picks up
• 45:09
  nine and a half.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he just fired a little low fastball that caught
• 45:13
  the corner of the plate right there. Just a nice, nice, tight, smart,
• 45:18
  smart throw there.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: On first down again, it was another opportunity for him
• 45:21
  to run. He chose to pass instead. Second down, half
• 45:23
  a yard playbook wide open here for Jason beck Way
• 45:26
  Shawn Parker the tailback. Two tight ends on the right
• 45:28
  hand side for Utah from the ASU twenty three. They

• 45:52
  Devin Dampierre is back to form. Wow. And that was
• 45:54
  just an impressive play. I mean, he read it. They
• 45:57
  ran counter to the to the strong side, just got
• 45:59
  a great clock and just went untouched and just smelled
• 46:02
  that end zone and just ran by everyone.

• 46:36
  booth next year at rise ecl Stadium. It's Utah Football
• 46:39
  form ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports Radio Network. That last
• 46:43
  Utah scoring drive, eight plays, fifty nine yards, three h
• 46:46
  five off the game clock, Devin dan Pierri a twenty
• 46:49
  three yard maybe twenty four yard touchdown run. He had
• 46:52
  twenty nine yards rushing on that on that drive for Utah.
• 46:55
  And I'll tell you what Scott that bye week did
• 46:58
  him well. Jason Beckett, he looked like they're on the
• 47:00
  same page tonight. You toss moved the ball well here tonight. Yeah,
• 47:03
  I'm really set to run up nicely.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: And this drive, you know, like I was saying, it
• 47:06
  should get more and more yards than they are, and
• 47:09
  they did. And the adjustment was running Devon on a
• 47:14
  counter off of that sweep motion or the zone read.
• 47:18
  But it's a design quarterback run all the way, but
• 47:21
  it looks like it looks like the zone read and
• 47:24
  just executed to perfection. And man, Devn just smelled the
• 47:27
  end zone and got there.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: And Kurt, you already with one hundred and twelve yards
• 47:31
  rushing in this game tonight, only thirty three yards passing.
• 47:34
  But when you're running it like they are, you don't
• 47:37
  really need to throw the football. No, Scott would disagree
• 47:40
  with that, because he always wants to throw the football.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Hey, if you're running like this on a rainy night, man,
• 47:44
  it's like short in the game, and let's score a
• 47:46
  bunch of points. Go home.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Dylan Curtis puts his right foot into it, drives it
• 47:50
  high and end over end, and that will be a touchback.
• 47:53
  Jared Hamilton, let's it trickle out of the back of
• 47:55
  the endzone. I met Dylan Curtis's dad. We only have
• 47:57
  the Smith's tailgate tip for like ten minutes. Yeah, his
• 48:00
  dad came up, but he's got a jersey on that
• 48:02
  says dil Zilla on the back of it. That's been
• 48:04
  his nickname since he was like eight years old. I'm
• 48:07
  guessing he had a really big leg at eight years
• 48:09
  old too, So I don't know if I'll call him
• 48:12
  dil Zilla. It doesn't really roll off the tongue yet,
• 48:14
  but Dylan's doing a nice job kicking the foot.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's a d Zilla, you know, just shortening
• 48:18
  it up a little bit. It kind of sounds like
• 48:20
  a rapper now, d Zilla. All the kids are doing
• 48:22
  it these days.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Pistol formation, releaf Brown's your tailback first and ten a
• 48:26
  issue at their own twenty five down, fourteen to three
• 48:31
  high snap hand the relak Brown, he squirts through a hole.
• 48:34
  It picks up about three maybe four yards out near
• 48:36
  the twenty eight yard line. He's not real big, only
• 48:38
  five foot nine, but boy, he's got some giddy up
• 48:41
  John who Halt made the tackle.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know he's right up there top and
• 48:45
  rushing in the conference and very selective about the hole
• 48:49
  that he hits. And once he hits it, boy, he's gone.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Seven carries twenty three yards now for him tonight. But
• 48:56
  he's got home run capabilities second down and seven with
• 49:00
  four down of the line of scrimmage now showing pressure
• 49:03
  off the edge. Here they come Sims hit as he throws,
• 49:05
  dumps it over the middle. Has a man that's Jordan
• 49:08
  Tyson who's tackled Shia first down yardage. He needed the
• 49:12
  thirty five and he got to the thirty four to
• 49:13
  be third down in one. Jackson Benny with a nice
• 49:15
  open field tackle.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, great tackle by Jackson Benny there. It looked like
• 49:18
  everything was going to the left and then he just
• 49:21
  finds Tyson right under the right, under the secondary. But great, great,
• 49:26
  great tackle.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Another wacky formation. Now they'll bring everybody in third down
• 49:30
  and one. They're zero for four on third down. They've
• 49:31
  converted two fourth downs. Tonight's out of the shotgun with
• 49:35
  Rlie Brown. Third down and one. They handed the brown
• 49:41
  and brown is got first down yardage, bounced then inside,
• 49:45
  then back outside and picked up about three to the
• 49:47
  thirty seven and the drive stays a live first third
• 49:50
  down conversion tonight for Asu.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that formation made me feel like I was back
• 49:55
  in my days at Utah when we ran the Daffy
• 49:56
  Duck offense. We lined up like that all the time.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Crystal formation on first and ten drives stays alive. Two
• 50:04
  receivers left, two receivers right here, man coverage for Utah,
• 50:08
  shifting personnel around up front five of the line of scrimmage.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Now for the US.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: SIMS turns play action, pass pressure coming throwing outside. Good
• 50:18
  coverage here on the ear side by Oh, and now
• 50:21
  a late flag comes out. First of all, that ball
• 50:25
  was unketchable. Smith, Notton had the coverage up the leak.
• 50:30
  There is no way in the world that ball was
• 50:32
  gonna be caught. And then the flag came out way late.
• 50:35
  I didn't really see anything. The two officials are talking
• 50:39
  about it right now. They may pick this thing up.
• 50:40
  We'll see. It's right in front of the ASU bitch,
• 50:43
  so I'm not sure. Now, if they're not picking that
• 50:46
  flag up, they're gonna go talk to the referee. It's
• 50:48
  probably gonna be a hold on Utah. Let's see.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: That's interference defense number two.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Left league.
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: About it.
• 50:59
  Speaker 7: First down.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to see this one again, Scott, I
• 51:04
  have all's ten yards out of bounds. It's not even
• 51:06
  a catchuple pass.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: There wasn't really any contact off the play either.
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: Terribly marked at the spot of the foul. First half.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, that's a part of it. That is
• 51:16
  a really bad call. And that's not a hover at all. Here.
• 51:19
  You look at the replay and you just can't see
• 51:21
  it in any way shape or four. I mean that
• 51:23
  was completely late. I mean, you wonder if it came
• 51:26
  from the sideline. It's like that. That's just horrible.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: So first and ten at their own forty nine yard line,
• 51:32
  ASU shifting personnel around left the right. Four receivers now
• 51:35
  plus are on the right hand side. Nine thirty eight
• 51:39
  to play. Here the first half, fourteen three Utah hand
• 51:42
  off for League Brown, he's through a hole, making Kanye Udo.
• 51:45
  He's through a hole. He picks up five to the
• 51:47
  Utah forty six. Yeah, and that's that's an unbalanced formation.
• 51:52
  They got twelve guys on the right side of the field.
• 51:54
  I mean, I'm over exaggerating, but that was a very
• 51:57
  unusual look there.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Subs come in and out for both sides.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Second down in five of the Utah forty six, Hudo
• 52:06
  stays in at tailback Junior out of New Jersey. Four
• 52:12
  receivers of the pattern here for Jeff Simms, He's gonna
• 52:17
  pass flanker screen to the outside. It's caught juggled and
• 52:21
  then he's dropped after a short game gave him about
• 52:24
  three yards to the forty three yard line. Tayo Johnson
• 52:27
  made the tackle off the plane to be third down
• 52:29
  and we're calling about two.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: I think the receiver surprised they caught the ball because
• 52:33
  it looked like the and logan final is gonna knock
• 52:36
  it down. They're almost intercepting.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Devils are one out of five on third down. This
• 52:41
  is two down territory.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: I can assure you right here for Kenny Dillaghan as
• 52:45
  long as they don't go backwards four or five yards.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Proud that's here making some noise right now.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: For Utah.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Under center goes Sims. That's a rarity hudo behind him
• 53:00
  his own number boy. He pushes the pile down to
• 53:02
  the forty, picked up four yards, almost four yards.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: He's a big guy. Jeff Sims is six four two twenty.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Well, he spread the defense out and you know there's
• 53:09
  no tush push necessary there.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: You just go first and ten now with the Utah forty.
• 53:13
  Good drive, good answer here for ASU so far down
• 53:16
  fourteen to three as we come up on eight minutes
• 53:19
  to play here in the first half, three receivers left
• 53:23
  tight end to the right hand side, Sims and Brown
• 53:30
  and the pistol.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Hand off. Nope, Sim's gonna keep it himself.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: He'll be stacked up and dropped after about a yard
• 53:39
  and a half game. We got a Utah player down
• 53:41
  on the play right now, slow to get up. Got
• 53:44
  a Utah player down. Smith Snowden's the player down. That's
• 53:51
  the last player you want to see down right now
• 53:53
  if you're Utah. Smith's so important to what Utah does
• 53:56
  in the secondary. Came into try and tackled the big
• 54:00
  Jeff Simms, and he's down. Trainers are still dealing with
• 54:06
  it now. They'll help him do his feed. I think
• 54:09
  we're gonna get a.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Time out here.
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: We will.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Jackson Benny, Oh, check that I saw the two. It
• 54:18
  is not Smith Snowden. It's Jackson Benny who's down. Now
• 54:21
  he's up, which is good news for Utah. Jackson hurt
• 54:26
  himself playing wide receiver against West Virginia. Kind of turned
• 54:29
  his ankle on an open field play there. He looked
• 54:31
  like he might have hurt his shoulder. Make it the attack.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: It looked like he came in and just kind of
• 54:34
  lowered his shoulder there and he just kind of leaned
• 54:37
  in like like almost like one of those shoulder separations
• 54:42
  right here, and he got everyone kind of in the
• 54:43
  right spot, just kind of could even be a stinger.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Yep, second down in a stinger, no time out. He
• 54:50
  as you will bring the offense back on the field here.
• 54:53
  Seven thirty five to play in the first half. Fourteen
• 54:55
  three Utah. First half being brought to you by pud light.
• 54:58
  Easy to drink, it, easy to enjoy. Jeff Sims done
• 55:02
  a pretty good job managing this game so far. Only
• 55:05
  three points to show though.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and everything's been quick when he's starting the ball,
• 55:10
  it's all he's getting the ball out of his hand
• 55:11
  really quicker.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Four receivers here on the right left hand side. Now,
• 55:15
  Utah will shift its personnel around Sims in the pistol
• 55:24
  play action flanker screen to the outside. Caught and dropped immediately,
• 55:28
  Jordan Tyson, he'll pick up we'll call it five yards
• 55:31
  to the thirty four yards to the thirty four.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Play cotton with a nice tackle. Gaggle of utes there,
• 55:37
  third down at about three and a half. Yeah, and
• 55:39
  it's really hard, you know, when you're going man pressure
• 55:43
  like that and and you you don't you know, the
• 55:48
  quarterback gets it out quick. You know, you just can
• 55:50
  never get to a guy in that situation. Two receivers right,
• 55:53
  two receivers, you go one to the left back is
• 55:56
  obviously that official should not do that. You gotta give him.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I'm the Devil's two out of six on third down.
• 56:03
  Two for two on this drive, will Utah brank pressure.
• 56:08
  Simms is gonna keep it out on the edge and
• 56:10
  he'll be stacked up. Just shy a first down yard
• 56:13
  as he needed to thirty. He's just shy of the
• 56:16
  thirty yard line. That's gonna bring up fourth down. Tyo
• 56:19
  Johnson led the way with the tackle that time for Utah.
• 56:22
  And you know this is four down territory for Kenny Dillingham.
• 56:24
  He's not even gonna hesitate. Yeah, he'll just get a
• 56:27
  get the quarterback under center again. I mean that worked
• 56:30
  really well last time. I was a generous spot though.
• 56:33
  Just these officials, man, they've been very generous. They're two
• 56:38
  for two on fourth down the night of the Devil.
• 56:39
  Sim's gonna go under center. He's gonna sneak it again,
• 56:44
  you bet he is. Calls his own number, picks up
• 56:47
  the first down. Utah didn't even have anybody no right there.
• 56:51
  That was an easy call for Sims. Picks up two
• 56:53
  and that's a first down and the drive stays alive
• 56:56
  with five point forty five to play here before halftime.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: You know they've been on a field long time here.
• 57:02
  It's just Utah needs to get a turnover right here
• 57:05
  with the moisture on the ground, It just they just
• 57:07
  need to find a way to get a turnover.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: At the Utah twenty nine yard line where Lake Brown
• 57:13
  stays in a tailback, I bet they take a shot
• 57:16
  right here, Scott Jordan Tyson top of the formation. Blake
• 57:20
  Cotton's got him. Man covers to the outside, no safety
• 57:24
  help right now.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Sim's in the.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Pistol, takes it out on the right edge.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Jeff Sims inside the twenty and finally tackled at the
• 57:33
  Utah seventeen yard line. That's again at twelve. Tayo Johnson
• 57:36
  made the tackle. There was nobody out.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: There now that was you know, they've been been running
• 57:41
  the ball fairly effective here and the guy who's got
• 57:43
  the cornerback is in the secondary. Got to read that,
• 57:49
  you know at Jackson Benny there, you know you wonder
• 57:51
  if he's kind of hurt right now.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Tyson was Smith's note on him man coverage bottom of
• 57:56
  the formation. Sim's out of the shotgun. Releak Brown next
• 57:59
  to in first and ten at the Utah seventeen. They'll
• 58:03
  hand it to Brown. Brown cuts it inside outside and
• 58:06
  he'll be stacked up after a one yard gain to
• 58:08
  the sixteen yard line. Got a whole lot of running
• 58:11
  room inside right there. John Hull and Dallas Baka Lahi stacked.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: It up for Utah, and really, you know, Arizona State said, look,
• 58:18
  we got our backup quarterback in here. He can run
• 58:20
  the ball fairly effective. We're not great at throwing the ball.
• 58:23
  It's not great conditions. So they're just gonna try to
• 58:25
  run the ball with the running back in the quarterback.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Alternating Tyson in the right slot, matched up on Blake Cotton.
• 58:33
  Second and nine from the sixteen fourteen to three Utah.
• 58:40
  Simms hands to Brown, Brown has the edge. Brown breaks
• 58:44
  one tackle and he'll be stacked up and dropped. And
• 58:47
  about the Utah twelve yard line. Smith Stowden on the
• 58:51
  outside forsting back inside, made the tackle. It'll bring up
• 58:54
  third down and we'll call it about five maybe six.
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I see the official blue whistle, and he was
• 59:01
  a yard back and then he kept moving and they
• 59:03
  moved to the line where he moved.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Up to at the twelve yard line. Got to get
• 59:07
  to the Utah seven for a first down. Clock at
• 59:11
  three point thirty to play before halftime. They're two for
• 59:15
  three on third down on this drive, Tyson comes in motion,
• 59:25
  Smith Snowton trail again, Sims in the gun. He's gonna
• 59:30
  pass four man rush over the middle into the end
• 59:33
  zone incomplete. He was trying to get Tyson covered by
• 59:36
  Smith Snowden incomplete.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Fourth down coming up.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you very much for not calling a you know,
• 59:43
  a penalty right there.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, geez, I'll tell you what. Jordan Tyson could
• 59:46
  really go up and get him.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, he's a great receiver. And but that that
• 59:49
  ball's not catchuple either. I mean that that's why I
• 59:51
  had a bounce. No one had an advantage or disadvantage there.
• 59:56
  You know, when you're a great player, you think, look,
• 59:58
  if I don't catch the ball, it's because they held me.
• 1:00:00
  That's the only way they can cover me.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: Hesus Gomez on for his second field goal attempt tonight,
• 1:00:05
  this one just inside of the left hash twenty nine
• 1:00:08
  yard field goal.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Here attempt for Gomez.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Bad staff, bad hole kick, his block, and Utah recovers
• 1:00:18
  it at their own thirty four yard line.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: That one never had a chance. It never had a chance. Yeah,
• 1:00:28
  it just felt like, you know, Utah was going to
• 1:00:29
  do something right there. It looked like Jackson Benny jumped
• 1:00:33
  right over the the the center. I mean he was
• 1:00:38
  lined up at the line of scrimmage. It does a
• 1:00:40
  nice job just hopping over the guy.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: And just the second when we get back time out
• 1:00:45
  on the field, Utah will have it with three to
• 1:00:47
  zero five to play the first staff leading fourteen to three.
• 1:00:50
  This is Utah football from ESPN seven hundred. You'd Sports

  Speaker 2: They gave that block kick at least for now to
• 1:01:11
  Jackson Betty.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: The replay we saw made it looked like Logan Fino
• 1:01:14
  got an either way, good block field goal by Utah.
• 1:01:16
  By the way, here's our first spat set of the night,
• 1:01:18
  Dave Spanifore telling us ASU came into the ballgame second
• 1:01:22
  in the Big Twelve in rush defense, giving up seventy
• 1:01:24
  eight yards a game. Utah's got one hundred and twelve
• 1:01:27
  yards rushing on three drives already.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: Scotts, Yeah, it's been very impressive, and it's been the
• 1:01:31
  thing that Utah's really focused on. And this offensive line
• 1:01:35
  is just doing a great job.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Damp Here on first down, Devin looking looking, looking, he's
• 1:01:38
  gonna scramble out here to the right and he's gonna run.
• 1:01:40
  He's got the thirty he's got the thirty five and
• 1:01:43
  out of bounds very close to first down yard each
• 1:01:46
  Will they give it to it?
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think they will.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Four set of bounds by Montana Warren. That's gonna be
• 1:01:51
  a first down scramble of ten yards for Devin Dampier.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: And he got all day to throw too, and that's
• 1:01:55
  really nice. It looked like Devin, Yeah, if he would
• 1:01:57
  have stayed to the inside, might have ran for about
• 1:01:59
  twenty five.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: It's okay.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: Live to play another day, Amen, brother.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: First and ten Utah from their own thirty five yard
• 1:02:07
  line handoff Rogers, the Karrie Rogers forty and dives down
• 1:02:11
  to about the forty two pick up of seven.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: That's a better run on first out right there.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now you're starting to see, you know this, this
• 1:02:18
  defense getting worn down just a little bit. They got
• 1:02:20
  a couple of guys injured.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Now Utah going with some tempo.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: Devon's gonna keep it himself out on the outside edge.
• 1:02:28
  He's got the forty five to fifty forty five back
• 1:02:30
  to the inside forty still on his feet, dives down
• 1:02:33
  right there. He knew when his journey came to an
• 1:02:36
  end at the thirty nine yard line of Arizona States.
• 1:02:39
  And that will take us to the two minute time out.
• 1:02:41
  Devon damp Pier a twenty seven yard game.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 7: This is the two minute timeout.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: And Devin damp Pier tonight has seven carries for eighty
• 1:02:52
  two yards.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: I will just tell you the two plays we've just
• 1:02:56
  watched might be the two most important plays of the year.
• 1:02:59
  And that is he got ys and he got down
• 1:03:01
  and that look what you said, Bill is so true.
• 1:03:04
  Live to play another down. That's we should all be
• 1:03:08

  know that right above the south of scoreboard.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm just riveted to my seat. I want to
• 1:03:59
  see it. I seriously, do I really want to see it?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: We don't need that kind of attitude from you.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Scout First in ten Utah at the thirty nine yard
• 1:04:08
  line of Arizona State. They've got two timeouts and two
• 1:04:12
  minutes ago before halftime. Roger stays in a tailback. Ryan
• 1:04:17
  Davis goes in motion, Ryan Davis down the field, he
• 1:04:20
  catches it and he'll go down at about the thirty
• 1:04:22
  six short gain of three. Utah will now go with
• 1:04:25
  tempo second catch tonight for Ryan Davis.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: And Utah has done such a great job of running
• 1:04:29
  the football here that you know Devin has all day
• 1:04:33
  to throw it.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Four receivers in the pattern here for Utah. Larry Simmons
• 1:04:38
  leak getting lined up second down in seven. Devon gonna
• 1:04:42
  keep it himself and he's gonna avoid one tackle and
• 1:04:44
  then another and then another and go inside the twenty
• 1:04:47
  five and down to the twenty three yard line. Goodness gracious,
• 1:04:53
  a gate of thirteen on the run by Devon Day
• 1:04:55
  up here.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: Boogie Wilson made the tackle and almost it looked a
• 1:04:59
  little combobulated there, like was he gonna run it? Was it? Anyways?
• 1:05:04
  Great job of making something out of nothing.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: First and ten from the twenty three and now what
• 1:05:08
  do we have a timeout? I think it'll be taken
• 1:05:10
  by who I think it's the officials. The chain got
• 1:05:14
  all messed up there, and official time out looks like.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: When are we gonna go away from the chain? I
• 1:05:19
  mean it's twenty. Can't we put the chip in the
• 1:05:23
  football and just go from there?
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: You would think, man, I don't want to put anybody
• 1:05:28
  out of a job, But still seems like an outdated
• 1:05:33
  and antiquated method of determining down in distance. Here we
• 1:05:38
  got first and ten out of the shotgun, hand off
• 1:05:42
  Rogers bouncing around to the outside.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 6: The carry to the ten to the five. Its toch down,
• 1:05:51
  not Carrie Rogers.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: We can't an.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: Ounce love the sun Devil defense puts it in the
• 1:05:59
  south zone for six.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: See, you get into competition and they all are like, man,
• 1:06:05
  we can't let our quarterback run the ball better than
• 1:06:07
  we can because that looked a lot like Devin Damn
• 1:06:10
  Pierre running. But it's the wide receivers blocking downfield that
• 1:06:14
  make this play a huge play. And they blocked and
• 1:06:17
  they stayed on their guys and just a great job
• 1:06:20
  of scoring with a touchdown with two minutes ago. Such
• 1:06:24
  a big, big play right there for Utah.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: Fifth rushing touchdown on the year for Nacari Rodgers point
• 1:06:29
  after Dylan Curtis nails it through that touchdown of Pepsi
• 1:06:34
  touchdown and Utah would a minute more seconds to play
• 1:06:37
  before halftimes extended their lead to twenty one to three.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: How about Nacari Rodgers. That was a heck of a
• 1:06:43
  good run. Just a great run and just feel it.
• 1:06:45
  You know, he felt it all night. You wonder with
• 1:06:47
  the injury and the secondary to the safety who's a
• 1:06:51
  big player and big tackle on his team, But man,
• 1:06:53
  look at those blocks. Just excellent, excellent effort all the
• 1:06:56
  way down the field. Great effort, great energy there by
• 1:06:58
  this Utah football team.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Six plats seventy five yards on the scoring drive. Rogers
• 1:07:03
  punches it in for twenty two yards out Scott. How
• 1:07:05
  about this Utah here the first half has one hundred
• 1:07:08
  and eighty three yards of rushing the football. ASU was
• 1:07:12
  only giving up seventy eight a game coming in tonight, and.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: It was very clear from the beginning of this game
• 1:07:18
  this offensive line, great surge off the ball, and it
• 1:07:21
  just felt like a matter just a matter of time
• 1:07:23
  where they're gonna just pop these runs because they were
• 1:07:26
  getting great surge. You know, there's nothing stopping the backs
• 1:07:29
  in the backfield, and then you just kind of wear
• 1:07:32
  guys down after a while and it can get ugly.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: Billy Curtis said, to kick it off north to south
• 1:07:39
  here at Rice ecl Stadium, Jared Hamilton backed deep to
• 1:07:42
  receive things.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: He's in Alabama, transfer hi and end over and kick.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: This one's returnable if Hamilton wants to, and he will
• 1:07:50
  from the three. Jared Hamilton straight up the middle and
• 1:07:54
  wrestled down at about the twenty five yard line, returned
• 1:07:58
  up about twenty two yards for Hamilton seventy five yard
• 1:08:01
  field with fifty.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: Eight seconds remaining before halftime.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: For Jeff Simms of this ASU offense, they have not
• 1:08:07
  shown the ability to really throw it.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: They've been a little side to side, not bad, but
• 1:08:12
  they don't have a whole lot of time. But they
• 1:08:13
  do have two timeouts. Yeah, it's gonna be kind of interesting.
• 1:08:15
  You know, maybe Kenning dilling out because you don't know
• 1:08:17
  with your quarterback. You certainly don't want him to throw
• 1:08:20
  an interception right now, and.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: He has been interception thrown in his career.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: Sky and you kind of sit back in his own
• 1:08:26
  a little bit and the guy has to read you
• 1:08:27
  might you might be able to get pressure on him,
• 1:08:29
  get a sack.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, they look like they're gonna throw. On first down.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Four receivers at the pattern here for Asu and Sims
• 1:08:35
  will pass pressure in his face, throws to the outside.
• 1:08:38
  It's caught there, and a short gain out of bounds
• 1:08:40
  by Jordan Tyson. Do about the thirty one yard light
• 1:08:43
  a gain of six That was not an easy throw.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: No, And you know, if it's the NFL, that ball
• 1:08:47
  should still be going there. It's just really close. Smith.
• 1:08:50
  You've got to stay on your feet there and not
• 1:08:52
  not leave him and dive for a ball. That's that's
• 1:08:55
  a no.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: No for a dB second down in four after a
• 1:08:58
  six yard gain on first down, Tyson gun out of
• 1:09:01
  bounds on the play fifty three seconds. You got to
• 1:09:02
  bringing more pressure right up the middle screen again to
• 1:09:05
  the outside, this time nearly intercepted by Scooby Davis.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: Try to get that ball to Cameron Hardpool the tight end.
• 1:09:12
  Third down coming up.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just kind of feeling you know that this Utah
• 1:09:15
  team can get some pressure if the quarterback has to
• 1:09:18
  hold it at all.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, Scott. If you get him off
• 1:09:20
  the field here, you've still got two time outs. And
• 1:09:23
  probably about forty seconds. Yep, there're two out of eight
• 1:09:26
  on third down. Are the devil's here in the first half,
• 1:09:29
  it's third down and five empty backfield down. You toss
• 1:09:33
  brought pressure to last couple QB draw. I gotta rush
• 1:09:38
  four this time Sims throwing inside carts. Just be on
• 1:09:42
  the sticks to the thirty seven yard line by Jordan
• 1:09:44
  Tyson on a slide and now they'll hurry to the
• 1:09:48
  line of scrimmage with the first down clock running now
• 1:09:51
  forty two, forty one and forty. Sims backs up into
• 1:09:54
  the shotgun first and ten of four man rush coming
• 1:09:57
  here for Utah. Pressure come over the middle, dumped off
• 1:10:01
  to relieve Brat. He takes one man miscuts to the
• 1:10:03
  outside in the middle of the field. He's very close
• 1:10:06
  to first down yard each at the forty seven yard line.
• 1:10:08
  They'll stop the clock momentarily with twenty five seconds to play.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Bening In on the tackle for Utah.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as a bad angle by somebody.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: Timeout Arizona State second charge time out.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. They had their last field goal block.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: But Jeseus Gomez does have a fifty one yard field goal.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: To get out to two.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: He might have a chance, so you probably have to
• 1:10:33
  get him another fifteen to seventeen yards to feel good
• 1:10:36
  about it.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's interesting I ask you call a time
• 1:10:39
  out here. You know, you get to the ball around
• 1:10:40
  a fifty and look for some kind of trick play
• 1:10:44
  right here. You know, a double pass and you know
• 1:10:47
  a hook, a hook and lateral. Uh, you know, just
• 1:10:51
  just this is kind of you know, they look as
• 1:10:54
  you was down and they gotta they gotta, they gotta
• 1:10:57
  score a lot more points than three. And you just
• 1:11:01
  don't call a time out for no good reason. Just
• 1:11:03
  got to be heads up for a trick play right here.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Second charge time out.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: They've got one remaining, first and ten now for the
• 1:11:10
  Devils at their own forty seven yard line. Three receivers
• 1:11:13
  wide to the right hand side, single receiver to the left,
• 1:11:17
  Relie Brown, the shifty tail back in the backfield. Four
• 1:11:20
  man rush for Utah, Jeff Sims stepping away from it.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: Flag flies, this one's.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: Going to come back.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Sims tackle down at the Utah thirty nine. But I
• 1:11:29
  think this is going to be a hold on Asu Lander.
• 1:11:31
  Barton made the tackle.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, holding offense number fifty three ten yard Powders.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: Down by the way.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: That's our referee, Kevin mar We did not identify he
• 1:11:43
  and this big twelve crew earlier. Thank you, Kevin. Back
• 1:11:47
  them up ten yards now. It would be interesting to
• 1:11:49
  see if they're just happy going to the locker room
• 1:11:51
  or if they'll take another shot with eighteen seconds remaining.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big play when the quarterback scrambles because
• 1:11:56
  it burns time off the clock, you know, So you
• 1:11:58
  burn time off the clock and then you have a penalty.
• 1:12:01
  You know, that's a big deal.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Well, the clock's running now, and I think gay Issue
• 1:12:04
  is going to be very happy just to maybe run
• 1:12:06
  one more player.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe no plays.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: Seven seconds, six seconds, five seconds, three seconds, they'll run
• 1:12:16
  one more play. Blitz coming down the field looking for Tyson,
• 1:12:19
  made the great adjustment, couldn't come down with it, hit
• 1:12:22
  his back on the ground, covered by Stode incomplete, it
• 1:12:25
  goes and that takes us to the end of the
• 1:12:27
  first half here at ryse Eckel Stadium. Great coverage by Stode.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: That's the end of the half.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what though, that was a heck of
• 1:12:35
  an effort by Jordan Tyson.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: It really was. He guy's really good. Yeah, he's a
• 1:12:38
  really good player, but you know Smith Nottan's been up
• 1:12:41
  to the challenge. He's like, I want to face the
• 1:12:43
  best and be the best. So we'll hear from Kyle
• 1:12:45
  Whittingham here, moveman, try Lee.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: He's going to talk to our friends from television first
• 1:12:49
  and then Sly will get a quick word from him.
• 1:12:52
  It's halftime here in ysecl Stadium and a depressive first
• 1:12:55
  half of Utah where they scored on three of the
• 1:12:57
  or four drives and lead it twenty one to three.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just you know, it's just a tempo. You can
• 1:13:02
  just see fresh legs, you could see just playing fast,
• 1:13:05
  playing downhill and in Devon damn here. That's that's what
• 1:13:10
  we we all paid admission for, was to watch him
• 1:13:13
  do what he did tonight.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: So far, we'll give you Devon's numbers and some more
• 1:13:17
  Spat stats coming up here at the half on the
• 1:13:19
  America First Credit Union halftime show, we'll hear from Ken
• 1:13:23
  gar a Ken Garth sideline update with Sly and Kyle
• 1:13:25
  Whittingham here momentarily, and then we'll get you the halftime
• 1:13:30
  twenty one to three Utah right now. An impressive first
• 1:13:33
  half over a very good ASU Sun Devil team. Now
• 1:13:37
  we go down to slice, so I go ahead.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 5: Hey, coach, I know this is an awkward start to
• 1:13:40
  this game. How do you think your team handled adversity?
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: Very well?
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 7: You know, so far, so good. Got thirty minutes of
• 1:13:46
  football left.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: Offense is in a good.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 8: Rhythm, Devon's making plays for US. Defense is is doing
• 1:13:52
  a great job. Kept out of the ends. On just
• 1:13:54
  got to keep going.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 5: Almost two hundred yards rushing in the first half. Was
• 1:13:57
  that the game planing coming in?
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we got an offensive line that we really like
• 1:14:01
  and it's showed up in that first half.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: Last question, coach, what are the stats on if you
• 1:14:06
  block a field.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: Go in the game twin? You know what, I'm gonna
• 1:14:09
  have to look that up. I know it is on
• 1:14:11
  a tounch. I don't know.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: Oh sly stumping Kyle Liningham. That's a Ken Garf sideline update.
• 1:14:18
  Ken Garf, we hear you.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Halftime here at Rice Cycles twenty one three US on
• 1:14:23
  the Utah ESPN seven hundred and Eve Sports Radio Network
• 1:14:26
  Utah will kick off north to south here at Rice
• 1:14:29
  Cycles Stadium. Jared Hamilton, who's returned a few kicks this year,
• 1:14:32
  kickoff returns a few and far between. When you have
• 1:14:35
  a good kicker in Colin's football these days, and Utah
• 1:14:37
  has got a good one, we'll see. I Dylan Curtis
• 1:14:39
  can get himself another touchback here, and yes he will.
• 1:14:42
  He'll drive this one through the back of the south
• 1:14:44
  end zone at first and ten for crib for Jack
• 1:14:46
  W I say, Chris Simms, Jeff Simms, no relation, only
• 1:14:49
  one m, not two ms like Phil and Chris Jeff Simms.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: We are not relations.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: No relation.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: He'll bring that offense back out trailing twenty one three.
• 1:14:59
  And if Arizona State to be very fair, this is
• 1:15:02
  a huge drive for you if you want to have
• 1:15:04
  a chance in this game, isn't it?
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah? And you know they were really kind of a
• 1:15:07
  mixed bag in the first half. You know when they
• 1:15:09
  were having success, it was running it with the quarterback
• 1:15:11
  and running back. They'll probably stick with that.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Here, Sims operates out of the shotgun Utah with four
• 1:15:16
  down at the line of scrimmage, three receivers of the pattern.
• 1:15:19
  Sim's gonna throw on first down, pocket collapsing on him.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: He'll be chased from behind and ripped down.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Logan Fano got him. It will not go as a
• 1:15:29
  sack because he got him right at the line of scrimmage.
• 1:15:32
  But an outstanding job chasing down sims By Logan Fana.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's that redirect with these defensive linemen, and
• 1:15:39
  I think Utah does it as good as anyone in
• 1:15:40
  the country on both sides of that defensive line.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: Second down in ten for Asu tight end to the
• 1:15:47
  right slot, offset to the quarterbacks right releak Brown of
• 1:15:49
  the pistol formation. Three receivers here for Asu Utah showing pressure.
• 1:15:54
  It's a run blitz this time Brown bouncing around Mace
• 1:15:57
  BIG's one man missing, another man miss. Looked like they'd
• 1:16:00
  have himhimmed in for no gain. Logan final finally made
• 1:16:03
  the tackle out beyond the thirty yard line. So third
• 1:16:05
  down is short coming up and rays you that looks
• 1:16:07
  like that NASCAR package, you know. They get those three
• 1:16:10
  of down linemen, and then they get a lot of
• 1:16:12
  athleticism really designed to stop the run. Asu three out
• 1:16:16
  of nine tonight on third down. They face a third
• 1:16:18
  down in about four and a half here, opening drive,
• 1:16:21
  second half, twenty one to three Utah. They motioned Brown
• 1:16:25
  out of the backfield. Sims By himself watched the quarterback keeper.
• 1:16:31
  Sims is going to pass firing to the outside and
• 1:16:34
  skips it. Coverage was good. Tao Johnson had it on
• 1:16:40
  the tight end jam and Butter, and that'll bring out
• 1:16:44
  the punt team on fourth.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: Down and four.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice played by Tao because you know, the
• 1:16:50
  tight end Mittaire has been a pretty decent option for ASU.
• 1:16:54
  Of course, that's with Sam Levin in the game. That
• 1:16:56
  was not a good throw right there, but great coverage, good, good,
• 1:16:59
  good opening drive here for this defense.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Can't get it to the teyor the tight end, and
• 1:17:04
  that will bring out the punt team. Canyon Floyd Carvo
• 1:17:10
  stands at his own twenty eight yard line, high snap
• 1:17:13
  kicks away. It's high, it's end over end, it's short,
• 1:17:17
  and a fair catch made at the thirty two yard
• 1:17:19
  line by Carbo and that's where Utah will take over
• 1:17:23
  first and ten to begin things here in the second half.
• 1:17:26
  A big opening drive for this Utah offense. You're up
• 1:17:28
  twenty one to three right now. You can really put
• 1:17:31
  this game pretty close to out of reach with a
• 1:17:33
  touchdown here.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that the quarterback counter where that was the
• 1:17:36
  running play that was really really hurting Arizona State. You know,
• 1:17:40
  the interesting to see. I'm sure you're gonna get that again.
• 1:17:42
  But there's other stuff I think they like, and they're
• 1:17:44
  they're gonna call that as well. But you know, if
• 1:17:46
  Utah doesn't run the ball here early, I'd be surprised.
• 1:17:50
  I just think you're gonna get more and more of
• 1:17:52
  the run. Now.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: You got one hundred and eighty three yards in the
• 1:17:54
  first half. Give them another dose of that here in
• 1:17:55
  the second half. First and ten for Devin dam Pierre
• 1:17:58
  Rogers with him hand off Nakari, he's tripped up behind
• 1:18:02
  the line of scrimmage. He'll lose a yard. Miles Rouser
• 1:18:05
  safety shot in and grabbed him around the ankles.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: Took you down. Yeah, I'm kind of surprised by that,
• 1:18:10
  because really, De Devin kind of Devon should have kept
• 1:18:15
  that ball right there.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: He would have had a big play if he had
• 1:18:17
  kept it empty backfield. Here on second down at eleven
• 1:18:20
  for Damn Pierre, He's going to backpedal to pass, looking
• 1:18:23
  out through his right now scrambling to his left, lots
• 1:18:25
  of time taking a shot.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: He's got a man wide open down the field.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 6: Cat that's Ryan Davis fifteen and down at the twelve
• 1:18:33
  yard line. Ryan Davis was wide open and all the
• 1:18:38
  way to the ASU twelve yard line.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: He goes fifty six yards. Damn piard to Davis. And
• 1:18:45
  that's a pitchfork in your heart right there, you know,
• 1:18:47
  if you're ASU. And those are the Harse throws. The
• 1:18:50
  macau is one of the guy's wide open. Almost he's
• 1:18:52
  gonna throw it over him. No he didn't. And good play.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: First and ten hand off tailback right side, bouncing around.
• 1:19:01
  That's Rogers and he gets two yards down to about
• 1:19:04
  the eleven yard line.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure what they're doing here,
• 1:19:10
  but they don't have the yardsticks up yet still here. Yeah,
• 1:19:15
  they can get a first down before they score. If
• 1:19:17
  onely just took too long, you gotta hit it quick.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Keep an eye on JJ Buchanan split wide to the
• 1:19:25
  left hand side here on second down in eight, they
• 1:19:28
  motioned Bray across the formation. Damn peered to throw toward
• 1:19:32
  the end zone up jump ball and that's interception. That's
• 1:19:35
  gonna be pass interference. If they were trying to get
• 1:19:38
  that ball to the tight end Dallon Bentley, they're gonna
• 1:19:40
  get pass interference called here on Arizona State.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: He just shoved Bentley in the back.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: Clearly it was a jump ball and Miles Rowser put
• 1:19:46
  both hands into the back of Dallon Bentley.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: Otherwise that might have been a touchdown.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: You know. It's one of those where Devin has really
• 1:19:53
  gotten crafty at this, throwing very accurate passes to these
• 1:19:58
  tight ends down on goal line. The call and I
• 1:20:01
  love to throw, you know, but but when you get
• 1:20:03
  past interference, you get past. He had great fists.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 7: Number four putt on the occurred in the end zone.
• 1:20:11
  My role of the wall replaced with the two yard line.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, first note.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Otherwise Dallan Bentley used that big frame against the
• 1:20:18
  smaller safety and would have had another touchdown.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: Cash. It's almost like your little brother getting mad at
• 1:20:22
  you because you're much bigger than he is, and the
• 1:20:24
  only way can can can get you is to push you.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: So first in goal, Utah at the as U two
• 1:20:32
  yard line into the can you give you credit? Union
• 1:20:34
  red zone goes Utah for a second time tonight. Let's
• 1:20:37
  see if they could pay this one off on first down.
• 1:20:39
  Utah been very good in these short yardage goal line situations.
• 1:20:44
  Under center goes dam Pire. Devin tossweek left side Parker
• 1:20:48
  dancing around, pushing forward and gets back to the line
• 1:20:51
  of scrimmage. That was a run blitz on that time
• 1:20:53
  from Asu and they just blew that play up.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is one of those times when you
• 1:20:57
  you know, Utah is so heavy at run the ball.
• 1:21:00
  You know to that that strong power rise situation. I
• 1:21:04
  haven't shown him pitching it yet, and uh you know
• 1:21:08
  that that can go south in a hurry down there.
• 1:21:09
  It makes me a little nervous when you do that.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: When you bring that jumbo package in and you bring
• 1:21:13
  in the big guy, Sammy Tower, long gun.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: Just run that ball straight ahead.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: Uh talonga is a guy in a half in the backfield?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: How long is in?
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: Rogers is with him damp Pier under center, Devin changing
• 1:21:24
  the play at the line of scrimmage assu with ten
• 1:21:26
  of the box option play outside, damp Pier pitches Rogers
• 1:21:31
  end zone touchdown. Excellent work the magician and ball handler
• 1:21:36
  that loves Devin. Damp Pierre got that ball to Rogers
• 1:21:39
  and it's a Utah touchdown.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: Seeing when you know you run the option, you got
• 1:21:44
  to get the defender to commit and and Devin pretty
• 1:21:46
  much had the defender wrapped around him and still had
• 1:21:50
  the presence to make a good pitch right there could
• 1:21:52
  be a dangerous play. You know, you can go south
• 1:21:55
  in a lot of ways, but under durest there, Devin
• 1:21:58
  just sit an excellent job of getting a great pitch
• 1:22:02
  and an easy touchdown.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: Michael Mochafisi was having words with CJ Fight after the
• 1:22:07
  play that touchdown at PEPSI touchdown the pat coming up
• 1:22:10
  here for Dylan Curtis good Stap good Old drills it
• 1:22:13
  through the uprights. Five plays, sixty eight yards and two
• 1:22:17
  thirty six off the game plot. The big play the
• 1:22:19
  fifty six yard pitch and catch from Davis or Dan
• 1:22:22
  Pier to Davis and Utah leads it. Twenty eight to three,
• 1:22:26
  time out on the field for the Big O Tires
• 1:22:27
  Broadcast booth at Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred Youth
• 1:22:31
  Sports Radio Network.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 3: Smith is a.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: Brown sponsor University of Utah Athletics. Smith's Fresh for everyone,
• 1:22:37
  eleven minutes to play in the third Utah twenty eight
• 1:22:39
  ASU three to the sideline, we go, Slie. What did
• 1:22:43
  you see, especially on that big pass play from Dan
• 1:22:46
  Pier to Davis.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 5: Well, you got to commit this offensive line so what
• 1:22:49
  coach Whittingham said at halftime, the offensive line came in
• 1:22:51
  with a different mentality running the ball. They were physical,
• 1:22:55
  but on that long pass to Ryan Davis, Devin dam
• 1:22:57
  Pier had all days simply because the PAS his protection
• 1:23:00
  was absolutely stunning.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 7: He just sat there.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 5: He was able to see Ryan Davis and deliver the
• 1:23:05
  football all the way into the end zone for that
• 1:23:07
  drive slide.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 3: Thanks sideline update brought to you by Ken Garth.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: We hear you.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: Second half being brought to you by University of Utah Helps,
• 1:23:15
  a healthcare provider for the Uts family, and yours by
• 1:23:18
  them onlining you of you help dot orgs lash Huts.
• 1:23:20
  Jaron Hamilton back to receive the Dylan Curtis kick, and
• 1:23:23
  what Dylan has been terrific on his kicks this year.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been de Zilla he has. He's been pretty good.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: That's what his dad calls him. D Zillan.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: Curtis puts his right foot into it, drives it high
• 1:23:39
  and end over end. I don't believe Hamilton's gonna return
• 1:23:41
  this one. He wants eight yards deep in the end zone.
• 1:23:44
  It goes and out to the twenty five yard line
• 1:23:47
  first and ten. Well, we said, the last drive was
• 1:23:49
  a big one through Arizona State. This one might be bigger, Scott,
• 1:23:53
  because now you're down twenty eight to three. There's still
• 1:23:55
  a lot of time, but you've only got three points
• 1:23:59
  in the game, so you've moved it a little bit.
• 1:24:02
  But this Utah defense feels like it's just kind of
• 1:24:05
  like a Boa constrictor just getting tighter and tighter with
• 1:24:07
  these guys.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: It feels that there's more and more desperation. But this
• 1:24:11
  is when your quarterback hasn't played a lot, you know,
• 1:24:13
  and this is when that comforbability kind of shows.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: First and ten from the twenty five pistol formation, they're
• 1:24:19
  gonna hand it off for Elak Brown. He's gonna Nope,
• 1:24:22
  that's gonna be the quarterback keeping it. Good option play
• 1:24:24
  to the outside and seven yards on the game by
• 1:24:27
  the quarterback.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: Jeff Simms.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not panic time. You know, you're gonna
• 1:24:32
  have to throw the ball eventually here and just kind of,
• 1:24:35
  you know, John Henry just didn't quite have the speed
• 1:24:39
  to get out on the edge catch quarterback.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: Now he's got the motor, just maybe not the speed
• 1:24:42
  to catch Simms. He never gives up that John Henry
• 1:24:45
  daily second down in three from the thirty two yard
• 1:24:48
  line where Lak Brown moved to the right hand side
• 1:24:52
  of Jeff Simms. Gonna hand the ball to Brown this time,
• 1:24:57
  and he's got the edge and he can screw it
• 1:24:58
  a little bit forty forty five and out of bounce
• 1:25:00
  at the forty six yard line. Let's get to fourteen
• 1:25:04
  yards at a first down. Jackson Betty forced him outside.
• 1:25:06
  But you TuS a little loose on the run game
• 1:25:08
  right now, Scott and they they've kind of lost the
• 1:25:09
  edge on those last two plays.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: And of course that's where John Henry's been playing, and
• 1:25:14
  he's he's at the line of scrimmage, but he's not
• 1:25:17
  turning things back. Got to turn it back to the inside,
• 1:25:20
  and he's not doing that.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: Out to the forty six and two plays here for
• 1:25:23
  asu down twenty eight to three clock, running under ten
• 1:25:26
  to play.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: Here, the third.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: Sims out of the gun play action pass pressure coming
• 1:25:31
  chasing him out to the right hand side. He's gonna
• 1:25:34
  try and get around that right hand side. It does,
• 1:25:36
  and he's forced out and I'm out the line of
• 1:25:38
  scrimmage by Logan fanto Ah got it, oh, Logan got
• 1:25:41
  oh they're gonna mark hm out at the forty four.
• 1:25:43
  That's gonna be a sack for Logan Fano. Excellent work
• 1:25:46
  by Foo out on the edge. He had second sack
• 1:25:48
  of the year.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: Just a really nice complete pocket pressure there on that
• 1:25:53
  throw right there, and everyone just had such great angles,
• 1:25:56
  and you know, the quarterback really never had anywhere to go.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Two yard loss on the play back to the forty
• 1:26:01
  four yard line. Go the sun Devil's clock running at
• 1:26:04
  nine to twenty three to play here in the third quarter,
• 1:26:07
  twenty eight three, Utah play clock down to six. Sims
• 1:26:13
  out of the shotgun, releak Brown next to him. Sims
• 1:26:15
  is going to pass fires to the inside. Caught and
• 1:26:18
  he's got Malik McClain into Utah territory and down to
• 1:26:21
  the Utah forty four yard line. He needed twelve, he
• 1:26:23
  got thirteen, and Smith's notteon had the coverage.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: That was a good throw.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just kind of seemed to hang in the air
• 1:26:28
  a long time right there, and no one saw it
• 1:26:31
  right there. Is kind of in a little scene right there.
• 1:26:34
  Good throw.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: So first down Asu at the Utah forty four yard line,
• 1:26:40
  shuffling personnel in and outs. Three receivers had a tight
• 1:26:45
  end here. Realik Brown stays in as the tailback. Utah
• 1:26:49
  with a four man down front, three linebackers in the
• 1:26:51
  ball game right now, Sims play action pass, looking time
• 1:26:57
  over the middle, surveys intercept.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: It is it Jackson Benny, It is Jackson Benny.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 7: No, they're gonna say it hit the ground.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're gonna say it hit the ground on the field.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 7: It wasn't an incomplete pass. It second down.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: Jackson Benny knew it too. He didn't argue it got
• 1:27:15
  he got up and tried to run with it. But yeah,
• 1:27:17
  it hit the ground, almost his fourth interception of the year.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when when the guy doesn't really jump up and
• 1:27:22
  scream and yell and all that stuff, you're like, ah uh, yeah,
• 1:27:28
  I don't know.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's worth a second look.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: If you're Utah, Assu's gonna try and snap the ball here,
• 1:27:34
  they won't get a second look. Hand off to the tailback.
• 1:27:36
  Browns got the edge and he'll go out of bounds.
• 1:27:38
  After about a two and a half yard gain to
• 1:27:39
  the Utah forty two stote and forced him out of bounds.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: We didn't see the reverse look. My only thought is
• 1:27:44
  maybe that ball hit the ground. Yeah, must have must
• 1:27:49
  have hit off his shoulder pads and bounced on the
• 1:27:52
  ground or something, because it it hit him.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Third down and eight coming up here for Asu. Probably
• 1:27:58
  four down territory for the Devils. Ho for one miss
• 1:28:01
  half three for ten of the ball game, Utah late
• 1:28:05
  subbing onto the field.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: They're late subbing a guy off. Now they got to
• 1:28:08
  give him a chance to take the guy off the field.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: Yep, No, okay, defensive tackle moves off. That's jod TOLAA
• 1:28:15
  Oh that hurt him right there. Play clockett too. Movement
• 1:28:18
  all over the place, and they're gonna get this on Asu.
• 1:28:20
  That's gonna be movement up front.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get the right tackle for a
• 1:28:25
  move here. We'll see that poor official full.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 4: Start the offense number fifty five, but pnel the third.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: Down go to be the left guard, not the right tackle.
• 1:28:36
  But there was a lot of movement to be fair,
• 1:28:37
  and third and eight becomes thir thirteen.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: Now, yeah, that one official holding the ball there, he's like,
• 1:28:42
  I know you all want to go here, but you
• 1:28:44
  know the rules are rules here, and you sub late.
• 1:28:47
  You're gotta give him a chance to sub back.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: Not many teams better in college football and doing that
• 1:28:52
  than Utah. And it pays dividends there.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: With the paneling, though. Moregan's a master at it.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: Third down in fourteen.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: See if they break pressure on Sims, they're craft the
• 1:29:04
  line of scrimmage, or Utah they're showing pressure on third
• 1:29:07
  and fourteen. Here they come after Sims. He's gonna scramble
• 1:29:11
  and get to the outside. Sims up the sideline and
• 1:29:14
  still in bounds. First downyard, it's inside the thirty and
• 1:29:17
  down at theo Utah twenty seven yard line.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: All they had him back in midfield.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: They let him out of jail, and then he tiptoed
• 1:29:25
  the sideline and picked up the first down and twenty
• 1:29:28
  one yards.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just uh, no one finished the play right there,
• 1:29:34
  open field tackle, just no one. No one got to him.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: First and ten.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: They go quickly here hand off Relik Brown up the
• 1:29:40
  middle of real leak Brown inside the twenty and down
• 1:29:42
  to the nineteen ball out? Does Utah have it? Utah
• 1:29:46
  saying they've got the football? Did the ball come out late?
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 3: They got the lander.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: Barton is on top of it right now. For Utah.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: The question is.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: Was the ball out it's Utah football. It's Utah foot ball.
• 1:30:01
  The ball came out, laid over Lake Brown, and Utah
• 1:30:04
  fell on it.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: Every as the runner was down the first round of Utah.
• 1:30:09
  If the runner was down or he wasn't down, or
• 1:30:13
  he wasn't down. I think he was down. But we'll see.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: This will certainly be reviewed.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: Change of position rolling on the field was a fumble.
• 1:30:24
  The change of possession plays always are. We'll look at
• 1:30:27
  the replay here to see.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: Looked like the ball got kicked out from the lineman.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: Utah was signaling early that that ball came out.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: It's just hard to see if if the running back's
• 1:30:38
  knees were down on the ground like the running the
• 1:30:40
  lineman in front of him, he was kind of falling
• 1:30:43
  and he fell on the offensive lineman's heel, and the
• 1:30:46
  heel of the lineman kicked the ball out. It's just
• 1:30:49
  a question of whether his knees are down when it happened.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: We're looking at the board of the replay, the replay
• 1:30:55
  board of the JumboTron.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: It's hard to see right there.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And what's nice is you get to he has
• 1:31:00
  to see it now. See he's going and he kicks
• 1:31:06
  the lineman kicks kicks it out, but is he down.
• 1:31:14
  It's like the leg is down. It's hard to see
• 1:31:16
  it being tackled from behind. I think his knee is
• 1:31:20
  down before the ball comes. And you look at the
• 1:31:22
  defensive guys holding his legs like his legs aren't on
• 1:31:25
  the ground. Here's a good view of it right here,
• 1:31:28
  got his legs. He's holding his legs that he's probably
• 1:31:33
  down again.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: The call on the field was a fumble, so you
• 1:31:37
  have to have clear and compelling evidence to overturn the call.
• 1:31:42
  Otherwise they'll just simply say the call is upheld.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 3: Now he's down. That right knee was down and then
• 1:31:50
  it gets kicked out. See if you look at it right.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: Kevin Marla, referee taking a look at it under the
• 1:31:55
  hood downstairs, knee down, six fifty one to play, almost simultaneous.
• 1:32:00
  I'm saying, you've had It's super close. It's very close,
• 1:32:02
  and that's why the call on the field is so important.
• 1:32:04
  The call on the field was fumbled, Yeah, it's it
• 1:32:07
  is really close. Taw has not had many forced fumbles
• 1:32:13
  this year that had a number of interceptions, but this
• 1:32:15
  would be big.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: It's why you have to make the interception on the play.
• 1:32:20
  You don't want to give them another chance. You don't
• 1:32:21
  want to give them a chance to breathe, You don't
• 1:32:24
  want to give them anything. So ah, don't give them
• 1:32:32
  a second chance. Six fifty one to play.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: Second half being brought to you by can you have
• 1:32:41
  you Credit Union find them online and can you have
• 1:32:43
  you CEU dot Com today federally insured NCUA.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: This long look tells you all you need to know
• 1:32:49
  right now.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: It's a tough call. It's a tough call, and that's
• 1:32:52
  why the call on the field is so important. If
• 1:32:54
  they would have called down on the play and then reviewed,
• 1:32:57
  that means the Issue would likely have kept it for
• 1:33:00
  it looks.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: So bang bang, you know, like knee ball. It's just
• 1:33:03
  it's really hard to say, but man, it's just a
• 1:33:06
  it's a tough one.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: The fact that the defense is still out there for
• 1:33:09
  UTAH tells you a little something.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: We'll see. Here's our referee.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: He's still not sure.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's putting the.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: Head second on a second, he's like just said, man,
• 1:33:21
  we need to look at this. So long.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: The Issue's offense is heading back out on the field again.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: After further review, it was determined that the ball carrier's
• 1:33:34
  view was down.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 7: Gotta be second down from the nineteen yard line.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: That's a hard call.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you feel like they get it right though, I mean,
• 1:33:43
  just spend all that time I because it was tough
• 1:33:44
  and maybe he had an angle. We didn't have too
• 1:33:48
  you know, maybe they can blow it up and see it.
• 1:33:50
  But regardless it was, it was a close bang bang call.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: So second down called about yard and a half in
• 1:34:00
  the Utah nineteen yard line. Hudo in tailback transfer from Army,
• 1:34:06
  stands next to Jeff Simms. Sims is gonna follow him
• 1:34:09
  into the hole and pick up the first down. Keep
• 1:34:11
  those legs moving and get to about the sixteen yard line,
• 1:34:14
  picking up about three yards. Nothing's easy running inside with
• 1:34:19
  a lak iv Mahi is there and he made it difficult.
• 1:34:22
  Clock at six and a half to play Utah twenty
• 1:34:24
  eight in ASU three here in the third quarter.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: It's just it's fascinating, you know, of being down by
• 1:34:29
  as the scores they are to just kind of staying
• 1:34:32
  with their game plan. You know, they feel this is
• 1:34:34
  the best chance they have is to run a football.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: Second red zone trip tonight for ASU. The last time
• 1:34:39
  they missed the field goal had it blocked. Pistol formation
• 1:34:42
  three receivers. Sim's hands off Rown, he's tripped up in
• 1:34:46
  the backfield, tries to get to the edge now and
• 1:34:48
  gets it an out of bounds at about the eleven
• 1:34:51
  yard line.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: How did they not get him?
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: It looked like the wide receiver Elak Brown here on
• 1:34:55
  the ear sideline held the defensive back. But that should
• 1:34:59
  have been a lost the backfield. Utah just couldn't tackle
• 1:35:01
  Relip Brown. It's gonna be second down in about five
• 1:35:06
  at the eleven yard line. Brown stays in Sims at quarterback,
• 1:35:13
  shotgun growing to the outside. That's the fade to the
• 1:35:18
  end zone. It's up, is it incomplete? It is trying
• 1:35:20
  to get that ball to Jordan Tyson. Good coverage out
• 1:35:23
  there by Blake Cotton. He tried to make a one
• 1:35:25
  hand he grab, couldn't.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: Come down with it.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the second there has been pretty consistent, you know,
• 1:35:29
  this game playing and Tyson he's a hack of a
• 1:35:32
  player there, as you said, you know, you can jump
• 1:35:34
  through the gymnasium. But good played by Cotton.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: He's got six catches tonight, Scott He's only got twenty five.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: Yards and he's leading the conference. In receiving here and.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: Cotton draws him again. Why to the right hand side.
• 1:35:48
  Third down and five for Asu. Late subs here, they're
• 1:35:51
  holding it, and now we're ready to go. Third and
• 1:35:55
  five for the Utah. Eleven for Sparky Brown stays in
• 1:35:58
  the ballgame. Utah show pressure. Here they come.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: Sim's throwing to the outside.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: It's caught by Tyson and he's wrapped up and taking
• 1:36:06
  down a yard short of the first down at the
• 1:36:09
  seven yard line. Good open field tackle by Elijah Davis.
• 1:36:12
  Fourth down and one coming up. It's go time here
• 1:36:14
  for Asu. Yeah, e Liza's made some nice place tonight
• 1:36:17
  and that was one of them right there. I mean,
• 1:36:20
  you know, he just did a great job. No extra
• 1:36:22
  yards after the catch right there. I'll be shocked if
• 1:36:24
  this is not the quarterback keeper Sims. It's gonna go
• 1:36:27
  under center here now you doub rings in the beef
• 1:36:30
  up front. Brown behind him. Fourth down and one, Sim's
• 1:36:38
  under center. Referee steps away down.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 7: I'm going to quarterback sneak.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: Fourth down and one booping on the right side. It'll
• 1:36:47
  be fourth down and six. They got the right guard
• 1:36:50
  to move the north end zone did its job. That'll
• 1:36:53
  be procedure on ASU. That shouldn't be that hard to
• 1:36:58
  call unless you thought was simulating the count. Let's see
• 1:37:04
  away a game.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, defense number ninety five have to listen to the
• 1:37:10
  goal crushing that five yard penalty will be enough for
• 1:37:14
  a first down.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: It's I don't believe it's five yards inside the ten.
• 1:37:22
  That's a terrible I mean there, here we go, first
• 1:37:26
  down and gold Asuka at the Utah four sims under center,
• 1:37:34
  hands it off to Tyson to the outside, goes Jordan Tyson.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 3: And he goes into the end zone for a touchdown.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: Snowdon couldn't come up with a tackle and the end
• 1:37:42
  the round goes for a touchdown and that's the eighth
• 1:37:44
  of the year for Jordan Tyson.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: That makes it twenty eight to nine.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: Here in a Pat coming up, Yeah, Smith had the angle,
• 1:37:57
  he knew what was coming right there, only they sent
• 1:38:00
  everything to the right and then just try to just
• 1:38:02
  out leverage it and just didn't quite make the tackle.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: Thirteen plays, seventy five yards, six twenty eight off the
• 1:38:16
  game clock. Gomez in for the Pat, splits the uprights,
• 1:38:21
  makes it twenty eight ten the four thirty two to play.
• 1:38:25
  Here in the third Jordan Tyson gets the touchdown run
• 1:38:29
  of four yards. He's got seven catches twenty five yards
• 1:38:32
  on thirteen targets.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: You tossed on a pretty good job on him.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: Time out of the field. Back to Rice Ekl Stadium.
• 1:38:38
  Next at Utah Football from ESPN seven Huge Sports Radio Network,
• 1:38:42
  twenty eight ten. Utah Second Half being brought to you
• 1:38:44
  by University of Utah Health and Sports Medicine Experts. They
• 1:38:46
  give you the same great care they give the utes
• 1:38:48
  because you belong back of the game as much as anyone.
• 1:38:51
  Call EIGHTO one five eight seven, twenty two to twenty
• 1:38:53
  two or visit sportsman dot uuhealth dot org SLI. What
• 1:38:56
  did you make of that penalty, the the simulating of whatever,
• 1:38:59
  the delay of game on the Utah defense, Well.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 5: I hated the call because it's so loud here in
• 1:39:04
  the north end zone. I don't know how any referee
• 1:39:06
  heard a move call.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: But you got to get the defense a right to communicate.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 7: With one another.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 5: I know they're trying to say we're simulating a snap,
• 1:39:14
  but we have the right to communicate to when we
• 1:39:16
  move as well.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: Defense can move freely.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 7: I think that was a horrible call by the rest.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: So I thank you. That sideline update brought to you
• 1:39:22
  by Ken Garth. We hear you.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: If I'm Utah right here, I keep an eye out.
• 1:39:27
  Kenny Dillingham may not be.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: Too shy about perhaps trying to fake something maybe on
• 1:39:32
  side here down eighteen with four thirty two to play
• 1:39:36
  in the third quarter, Asus Gomez approaches, puts his right
• 1:39:41
  foot into it, tried to kick it off of Utah defender.
• 1:39:43
  It's fielded at the Utah thirty yard line instead, And
• 1:39:47
  after the thirty five and thirty six I liked that idea.
• 1:39:49
  You're try and ricochet it off a guy. He just
• 1:39:51
  didn't get it there, and Utah is gonna have it
• 1:39:53
  first and ten at their own thirty five yard line.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's you know, it's it's a play. You
• 1:39:57
  still have to you have to feel that you have
• 1:39:59
  to do a nice job. You know.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: Bryce Duke, the running back, came up with it and
• 1:40:02
  then ran Florid a little bit with him.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he took his time waiting for the ball, you know,
• 1:40:06
  and it's like and he got a good bounce and
• 1:40:08
  a favorable bounce. And biggest thing is you want to
• 1:40:09
  get on the ball and make sure you secure so
• 1:40:11
  you have the ball.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: Daniel Bray's your tail back with Devin dam p Here
• 1:40:15
  on first and ten for the thirty six, two tights
• 1:40:17
  and two wides for Utah's.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: He issued crowds a line of scrimmage.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: They handed to him and look at Daniel Gray scorting
• 1:40:23
  forward and out beyond the forty five Who about the forty.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: Six yard line. That young man could scoot.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: The freshman from Fort Worth linebacker Jordan Crook made the
• 1:40:31
  tack ten yards on first down.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 3: And you know, you talk about freshman, you know, after
• 1:40:35
  a while, you're no longer a freshman. You have been
• 1:40:37
  in school for a while. Now he's getting comfortable. It
• 1:40:40
  makes the first guy miss has some patience right there
• 1:40:43
  and some explosion. Gray.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: They faked the hand off to him. Devin's taking a
• 1:40:48
  shot down the field. He's got very weather, a lot
• 1:40:51
  of hand fighting. No flags incompleted goes wow, I'll tell
• 1:40:55
  you what we've seen flags tonight for a lot less
• 1:40:57
  than that. Keith Abney was the coverage man up into
• 1:41:00
  your sideline. Prasu, Yeah, really, I.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: Like to Paul. I like the aggressiveness. Kid's kind of
• 1:41:04
  get the ball to the outside just a little bit
• 1:41:06
  more there on that throw, give him a better chance
• 1:41:08
  to make to make the catchment.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: Two tights two wives, Dan, you'll bring in the backfield
• 1:41:15
  with Devin dan Pier. On second down and ten at
• 1:41:17
  the Utah forty six three fifty four to play here
• 1:41:20
  in the third twenty eight ten Utah Ray moves to
• 1:41:24
  the left of Devon dam Pier. Devon's gonna keep it himself,
• 1:41:27
  picking his way forward, moving his way forward, gets out
• 1:41:30
  to about the forty seven forty eight yard line for
• 1:41:33
  a gain of two.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: It'll bring up third down and long here for Utah.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 3: And you can tell at this point, you know, Arizona
• 1:41:39
  State's being pretty aggressive at the line of scrimmage as
• 1:41:42
  far as really selling out to the run.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: Utah two out of five on third down, damp peer
• 1:41:48
  up to eighty nine yards rushing tonight third down and eight.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: Bring a wide receiver in motion.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: Devon's gonna throw looking down the field, throwing caught in
• 1:41:57
  the middle of the field. Wow, I mean there were
• 1:42:00
  three ASU defenders there and he found Dalla Bentley and
• 1:42:03
  that'll be good for a first down to the ASU
• 1:42:05
  forty one.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very popular playing football right here. It's kind of
• 1:42:08
  a mesh play. And you know a lot of times
• 1:42:10
  the back out of the back of this Kansas City
• 1:42:12
  runs it a lot, and then you get crossers in
• 1:42:14
  the tight end in the middle of the field. So
• 1:42:15
  often that tight ends is White Hope.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: First and ten U saw the drive, stays alive. They
• 1:42:20
  convert on third down, dam Pierre with Bray, I'm gonna
• 1:42:25
  hand that to Daniel Bray. Daniel Bray with more running room,
• 1:42:28
  stays on his feet thirty five and ripped down right
• 1:42:31
  there at about the thirty three yard line, a gain
• 1:42:34
  of about eight more yards for Daniel Bray.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: I like the addition he brings to this offense down. Yeah,
• 1:42:39
  and he's running tough on the inside. You know everything
• 1:42:41
  early was sweeps on the edge. But man, he's showing
• 1:42:44
  like they're putting a lot of faith in a freshman
• 1:42:47
  putting him in the backfield as your normal down runner
• 1:42:50
  when the game's on the line right here, and he's say,
• 1:42:53
  he's really showing some maturity.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: Six carries for forty one yards now for Daniel Bray.
• 1:43:01
  Bird Ficklan's gonna check into.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: The ball game. Now for Utah, dude, come on, let
• 1:43:12
  him go second down in short.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's ridiculous. That is now we're gonna have a
• 1:43:16
  delay of game on Utah. That's where did they get
• 1:43:20
  the time out before they delay? Come on, Kevin, tell
• 1:43:26
  us what's what first charge? Time out?
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 7: Time out? Utah thirty seconds.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 3: They're gonna say a media time at Kevin says thirty seconds.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks Kevin. Two o five to play here the third.
• 1:43:40
  We'll take that time out with him. It'll be second
• 1:43:42
  down to two for Utah when we get back to
• 1:43:44
  Rice Ecle Stadium.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: Two O five to play in the third.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: Twenty eight ten uts and this is Utah Football from
• 1:43:49
  ESPN seven hundred and the Youth Sports Radio Network. Three
• 1:43:52
  quarters down, one to go on this Saturday night, the
• 1:43:55
  moon trying to poke its way through here on the
• 1:43:58
  east side of Salt Lake City.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: As we look to the east of the Washsatch Mountains, it's.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: Utah thirty five and ASU ten May game day sweeter,
• 1:44:07
  even postgame sweeter with a chip cookie might have at
• 1:44:09
  the stadium or stop by after the game and celebrate
• 1:44:12
  hip day is game day. Third quarter numbers Utah one
• 1:44:15
  hundred twenty two yards, ASU eighty eight sixty seven in
• 1:44:18
  the air for Utah fifty five on the ground, twenty
• 1:44:21
  two in the air for Asu sixty six on the ground.
• 1:44:25
  Of course, Utah leads it thirty five to ten as
• 1:44:27
  we head to the fourth quarter here and got a
• 1:44:30
  decision time for Kenny Dillingham.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: Fourth down and four.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: But I don't think it really matters if you lose
• 1:44:36
  thirty five to ten, forty two.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: To ten or whatever, you're gonna go down.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: You showed confidence in your team. They'll probably go for
• 1:44:42
  it here from their own thirty one yard line.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, you're in a tough position, and you
• 1:44:49
  know your quarterback's been playing all week and practicing and
• 1:44:53
  then he doesn't play in the game. He's such a
• 1:44:55
  good player. And you know Jeff Simms has spot pretty
• 1:44:58
  hard tonight, and you know they've they played hard, they
• 1:45:01
  just just haven't been able to score.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: And well, they're three for three on fourth down tonight.
• 1:45:06
  They face it fourth down and four now relie rounds
• 1:45:11
  of the backfield. Utah has not sacked Jeff Simms tonight either. Actually,
• 1:45:14
  they have one sack kind of Logan Fano got it
• 1:45:18
  on a chase down on the outside. Be a good
• 1:45:21
  time to get the second sack right here. Fourth down
• 1:45:23
  and four, he'll drop the pass. Here comes the blitz
• 1:45:29
  right up the middle and he is chase to the outside.
• 1:45:32
  He's gonna get it thirty five, forty forty five and
• 1:45:34
  out of bounds, and once again Utah was there.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: Scott. They just couldn't do it. John Henry Daily pressured,
• 1:45:39
  but couldn't get him home.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's just one of those things where you're
• 1:45:44
  just you know, sometimes you have those nights where you
• 1:45:47
  can get a guy and it just looks like they're
• 1:45:49
  gonna get him, but they just just can't quite do it.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: First down now at the forty five for a issue,
• 1:45:53
  they keep the drive alive. Early here in the fourth quarter,
• 1:45:56
  down thirty five to ten, Sim's gonna pass again. Pressure
• 1:46:00
  off the edge over the middle incomplete, try to get
• 1:46:03
  that if he got drilled, try to get that ball
• 1:46:05
  to re leak Brown. The words being had right now
• 1:46:10
  between blanch Holt's claw number seventy seven, Kyle Scott and
• 1:46:16
  this way it's been chippy here.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: At times today it has and this is this is
• 1:46:20
  where you really have to maintain your composure. You know,
• 1:46:23
  if you're Utah, you just don't want to have some
• 1:46:25
  dumb play that keeps you out of a game.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: Well, especially the game next week down in probo, which
• 1:46:29
  could be huge. Second down and ten four man down
• 1:46:35
  front for Utah. Sam's out of the gun, gonna pass again,
• 1:46:38
  the lay blitz again over the middle again, caught and
• 1:46:41
  down at the Utah forty five yard line.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: That's Jordan Tyson.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 3: Man. They have just come at him at all these
• 1:46:47
  different angles. They brought the corner blitz right there and
• 1:46:50
  and they just aren't getting that. It's just just a
• 1:46:52
  little too late. And then he just has time to
• 1:46:55
  get it off.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: Eight catches on, sixteen targets now for Tyson got ten
• 1:46:58
  yards on that went in the first down at the
• 1:47:01
  Utah forty five. Sims to pass again, Utah chasing him again.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 3: They're gonna get him this time.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: Down he goes.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: Trey Reynolds was there, John Henry Daly was there as well.
• 1:47:18
  It's a sack the second tonight on Jeff Simms.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: And there's this looping stunt. There's nowhere for Sims to go.
• 1:47:24
  And if you don't, you don't succeed at first, just
• 1:47:26
  try try again, and Utah did at that time.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: Levanni de Mooney was in there too for Utah. AMII
• 1:47:34
  second down and twenty, passing again Simms. Pressure again on
• 1:47:40
  Simms and down he goes again, Levanni de Mooney again
• 1:47:45
  for Utah. Back to back sacks for the Stanford transfer
• 1:47:50
  to Mooney.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was just nice. He just track so so nicely,
• 1:47:56
  got the quarterback before he even signed. You know, it's
• 1:48:00
  it gets tough, and this is probably why they've been
• 1:48:01
  trying to run the ball, because they know they just
• 1:48:04
  have to consistently drop back and pass it. Utah is
• 1:48:06
  gonna pin their ears back, go get him.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: First sack to Daily, second sack to the Mooney third down,
• 1:48:11
  and for ever third and thirty one. Morgan Scalley said, enough,
• 1:48:16
  I'm coming after you, Jeff Simms. Four receivers in the
• 1:48:20
  pattern on third down and thirty one, Siems to pass again,
• 1:48:23
  just a four man rush off the edge.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 6: Here they come Sims to the outside and down of
• 1:48:27
  goes Don.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: Henry Daily tripped him up and took him down. Three
• 1:48:34
  straight sacks for the Utah defense. Brings up fourth down
• 1:48:38
  and in eternity, and here comes the punt team.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The punt team is basically and there goes the game.
• 1:48:44
  We've surrendered.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: Right there, that is the white flag, right there.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: Morgan Scalley brought pressure on three consecutive plays and got
• 1:48:52
  three consecutive sacks.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what a great office is such a nice series
• 1:48:57
  right there, em out, end over and kick.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: Carvaiah comes up to take it thirty five forty forty
• 1:49:08
  five fifty, stays on his feet forty five forty and
• 1:49:12
  down he goes.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: In ASU territory.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 3: Teammates love it, absolutely love it.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: The freshman from the Islands comes up with a big
• 1:49:23
  punt return thirty seven yard punt, twenty six yard return
• 1:49:28
  and a time out on the field.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: We'll see if Utah can put this one the bed.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: Next It's Utah football from ESPN seven hundred Youth Sports
• 1:49:36
  Radio Network.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: Second half me brought to my University of Utah.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: Health can saintray kretouts Trump, visit youviewhealth dot org, slash
• 1:49:43
  utes DYU survives in double overtime at Tucson, setting up
• 1:49:48
  a big one next Saturday night. Cougars are six and
• 1:49:51
  oh Utah in all likelihood will be five and one.
• 1:49:54
  We'll be in provo next Saturday night, six o'clock kickoff
• 1:49:58
  for the rivalry game. Renew Utah and BYU will work
• 1:50:02
  to be done. Here still eleven forty nine to play.
• 1:50:04
  Devin dam Piers Knight appears to be done.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: Bird Fickland in the ball game.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: We'll get you Devn's final numbers passing and rushing here tonight.
• 1:50:13
  He was the first Utah quarterback to have one hundred
• 1:50:15
  yard rushing game in ten years. Travis Wilson had the
• 1:50:19
  last one September twenty six, twenty fifteen.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 3: In Eugene where they dominated the Ducks.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: So Bird Fickland in, and to be fair, Bird's been
• 1:50:27
  terrific when he's been into in this year.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: They don't lose a lot with burd.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 3: Ficklin in there.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: From an athleticism standpoint, he's in with way Sean Parker.
• 1:50:37
  He'll hand off right sideway Sean Parker into the open
• 1:50:40
  field thirty five thirty twenty five and down to the
• 1:50:44
  ASU twenty two and a flag on the play. This
• 1:50:46
  one's likely to come back flag down at about the
• 1:50:49
  thirty five yard line. They may give Jaron COUMP for
• 1:50:51
  this one. We'll see, or it could be a face
• 1:50:55
  mask Nope or not. They are walking backwards, ASU player down.
• 1:51:02
  That's Miles Rowser to safety. Here's Kevin Marr or maybe not.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: You talk not moving backwards just yet. That's the only
• 1:51:22
  waiting on the call. Oh it is a face mask. Huh,
• 1:51:25
  good call Scott Mitchell. Every once in a while it's
• 1:51:29
  a personal foul. They're can attack fifteen On the end,
• 1:51:31
  you're asking Kyle winning him if he wants it. Why
• 1:51:33
  wouldn't he want the penalty? I guess you have to ask.
• 1:51:37
  But yeah, now I don't want it. Let's make it
• 1:51:41
  a little bit more difficult.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: On my offense.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 3: That doesn't make a lot of sense.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: Rowser being healthy, come off the field under his own power,
• 1:51:48
  So that's good news.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: If your ASU personal.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 4: Foul illegal hands in the face defense number nine fifteen
• 1:51:55
  dark penalty out of the end of the run, automatic
• 1:51:57
  first down.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: They get O'Neil for that penalty. To be fair, we
• 1:52:00
  haven't mentioned this. Arguably a issue's best defensive player, Xavi
• 1:52:04
  and Alfred their safety preseason all Big twelve.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 3: He's out.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: He's been out though for several weeks. They've got good
• 1:52:10
  players in that secondary, but they do miss Alfred.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what Utah has done. It's true, Yeah,
• 1:52:16
  but they're still a pretty solid defense Utah. Really this
• 1:52:22
  is a. This is a big statement game for Utah today.
• 1:52:24
  A issue is not a bad team. No, they're not
• 1:52:27
  a bad team.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: Fourth trip into the can you of your Credit Union
• 1:52:29
  red zone for Utah.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: From the ASU eleven yard line, Bird Ficklin hands to
• 1:52:37
  Parker Wyshan inside the ten, spins, keeps his footing, spins again,
• 1:52:42
  and he gets down to about the seven yard line
• 1:52:44
  run by Wasshaw.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 2: That time picks up. It's not five yards.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 3: And you know, this whole offense has just been so
• 1:52:50
  good at running downhill. And you know that one game
• 1:52:53
  against Texas Tech, it was just kind of side to side.
• 1:52:56
  There wasn't that same urgency or energy. And boy, you
• 1:52:59
  just one of I think the most consistently impressive things
• 1:53:02
  that I like about this offense.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: Utah taking its time. Let a little bit of that
• 1:53:07
  clock way down. Now they break the huddle with fifteen
• 1:53:09
  on the play clock, second down in five of the
• 1:53:12
  seven yard line. Tick with in the shotgun, Parker next
• 1:53:14
  to it again, Waishan's got it, takes on a tackler,
• 1:53:18
  keeps those legs moving. It gets down to about the
• 1:53:21
  four yard line. Eight to three on the play. Third
• 1:53:24
  down and short coming up here for Utah.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 2: They're just being deliberate playing bully ball runs straight ahead.
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know one thing about Fickland being in
• 1:53:32
  the game right now, it's great experience, you know, and
• 1:53:36
  it's just so valuable and it just it helps you
• 1:53:39
  secure and get better depth down the season, and then
• 1:53:42
  you also get arrest them guys, and that that just
• 1:53:45
  helps you out, helps you out next week, it helps
• 1:53:47
  you out as the season goes on.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: Third down and two, at about the four yard line,
• 1:53:51
  he shipped the personnel to the right hand side. Bird
• 1:53:54
  Fickland brings Bray in motion. He's gonna keep it himself.
• 1:53:57
  Bert Ficklan walks into the end zone and that's a down.
• 1:54:04
  Ficklin with his third rushing touchdown this year.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 3: And that one was easy. That's like, go ahead, sorry,
• 1:54:11
  I'm gona say it's forty one ten penning the pat.
• 1:54:14
  He's gonna say. That's the flavor of the night right there.
• 1:54:16
  Quarnerback draw off the counter end man. They have just
• 1:54:21
  worn asu out with that.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: You could say what you want about Sam Levitt being out,
• 1:54:26
  and that certainly impacted their offense. Utah has put forty
• 1:54:29
  two points on the board tonight or soon to be
• 1:54:31
  forty two against a very good ASU defense, and.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 3: And really technically in three quarters of the game, you know,
• 1:54:38
  I mean, I mean, it's it's been impressive. It's been
• 1:54:41
  one punt, but they have they have absolutely dominated this
• 1:54:45
  football game.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: Scoring drive four plays forty two yards.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: Fickland takes it in flax slid, extracurricular stuff pushing down
• 1:54:53
  on the play, time out on the field as we
• 1:54:55
  go to time out, and will remind you that Smith's
• 1:54:57
  and Pepsi had great sponsors of Utah football. It's Utah
• 1:55:01
  forty two in ASU ten the Big Otires broadcast booth
• 1:55:05
  here at Rice Scle Stadium. It's Utah football for ESPN
• 1:55:08
  seven hundred EAT Sports Radio Network have ten oh five
• 1:55:11
  to play here in Rice cycles Utah dominating the twenty
• 1:55:14
  first ranked Arizona State Sun Devils. It's interesting because ASU's
• 1:55:18
  got almost a ten minute advantage and time of possession.
• 1:55:21
  Here's Utahs drives tonight fourteen plays seventy five yards, touchdown
• 1:55:25
  five oh four, five plays sixteen yards, punt, eight plays
• 1:55:29
  fifty nine yards touchdown three zero five six play seventy
• 1:55:33
  five yards touchdown two oh one five play sixty eight
• 1:55:36
  yards two thirty six eight to sixty four touchdown three
• 1:55:40
  forty two four forty two have been and forty four.
• 1:55:44
  Utah tonight Scott has had one, two, three, four, five
• 1:55:47
  sixty seven drives and they have touchdowns on six of them.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 3: As Devin damn Pier goes, so goes this Utah football team.
• 1:55:54
  And if Devin dam Pier went off, and so did
• 1:55:57
  this team. I mean.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: It was amazing what his numbers, yes, please, seven of
• 1:56:03
  twelve throwing one hundred and four yards, ten rushes, one
• 1:56:07
  hundred and twenty yards, three touchdowns.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, yeah, that'll play.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just so impressive. I mean just and I
• 1:56:15
  think it lifted everyone on offense. It seemed like the
• 1:56:17
  players on offense played harder because they saw that from
• 1:56:20
  Devin touchback.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: On the play Dylan Curtis kicked it through the end
• 1:56:24
  zone again. And now you just want to get out
• 1:56:28
  of here injury free over the final ten oh five
• 1:56:30
  because you've got a big wooding provo next week.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah you do. And like I said, you know, to
• 1:56:37
  get Devin out of the game healthy, to get some
• 1:56:39
  rest for your guys. It's a nice thing to be
• 1:56:42
  able to do.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: Hudo in a tailback right now, pistol formation behind Jeff Simms.
• 1:56:50
  Sims hands off to the army transfer and Udo takes
• 1:56:54
  up about two yards after the twenty seven yard line.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 3: You know, it's almost like if your asu, oh, the
• 1:57:00
  smart thing to do here is to go four minute offense.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: Utah's playing all their backups right now. The second team
• 1:57:05
  defense is in right now in the Utah.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 3: And they should you know, again, it's a great opportunity
• 1:57:10
  to get to build your depth and give guys experience.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: Udo stays in second down and call it eight yards now,
• 1:57:17
  four man down front, six of the box here for Utah.
• 1:57:19
  Sim's is gonna drop back to pass pressure coming scrambling
• 1:57:22
  to the outside, being chased to the outside. Now he's
• 1:57:25
  gonna get to the twenty eight step out of bounds.
• 1:57:28
  Trey Reynolds was that who Trey?
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 3: Was Trey out there? No?
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: That was cyrus Kulu who was out there, back up
• 1:57:37
  line back on the four seven of bounds.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 2: Third down now and we'll call it seven coming up.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Sarrus Doyes a nice job of keeping the leverage.
• 1:57:44
  He had eyes on the quarterback the whole time.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Utah has got a deep and
• 1:57:48
  talented linebacker room. I'm not just talking about the starters.
• 1:57:50
  Those guys behind them, they have bright futures too. It's
• 1:57:54
  another Elis out there right now. To Elijah Ellis four
• 1:57:58
  out of fourteen on third down for sim and the
• 1:58:00
  Devils four receivers, He'll pass here comes the pressure to
• 1:58:04
  the outside, throws completes beyond the sticks at the thirty
• 1:58:07
  five after about the thirty eight yard line.
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Utah's just you know, still still bringing the pressure.
• 1:58:17
  Morgan's like, I do not want them to get the
• 1:58:19
  ball down the field. I don't care who's in there.
• 1:58:21
  What's the situation. We're gonna play till the end.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: Kenny Dilly Camps teams are not gonna lay down and quit,
• 1:58:28
  that's for sure. At the thirty eight yard line, first
• 1:58:32
  and ten sims to Udo keeps those feet moving and
• 1:58:38
  churning and hugging, you know, pick up four yards after
• 1:58:40
  the forty two yard line.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: Udo last year at Army ran for it.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: Eleven and seventeen yards and ten touchdowns. Got a bad
• 1:58:52
  player now yours there.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 3: They got some good running backs at ASU. And you
• 1:58:57
  know the folks who came to the game today, they
• 1:58:59
  and stayed. They were in. They got a treat tonight.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did Themarrius Robinson, young tailback, just a freshman
• 1:59:05
  in the ball game.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 2: Now for Asu.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: Four receivers in the pattern on second down in four
• 1:59:10
  Sims to pass fires over the middle. It's caught and
• 1:59:13
  juggled and dropped incompleted, goes.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 2: Now bring up third down.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 3: It's been impressive that Utah has got the sacks they
• 1:59:21
  have because Jeff Simms is not held on to the
• 1:59:23
  ball like he's not he's not been a sitting doc.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: You got him out.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 3: He's got the ball out quick and you know, and
• 1:59:29
  then he's and he also is elusive. I mean it's
• 1:59:32
  a statement to sack this kid because he's he's he's
• 1:59:35
  a tough guy to get.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: Out five to fifteen on third down. They've got third
• 1:59:39
  down in five right here, got to get to their
• 1:59:42
  own forty eight. Robinson in the backfield with Sims, two
• 1:59:47
  receivers left, two receivers right, Sims to pass drops back.
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 2: Now he's gonna run for it.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: Locks of running room across the fifty in the Utah
• 1:59:56
  territory and down of the Utah forty seven yard line,
• 1:59:59
  goes Jeffson.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seven and a half to play.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 3: That was kind of easy, you know, they just they
• 2:00:05
  just kind of did a twist there and no one
• 2:00:06
  got back to the inside. Fact they probably got held
• 2:00:09
  on the play, But easy read for the quarterback.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: First down at the Utah forty seven pistol formation, play
• 2:00:20
  action pass sims with lots of time now being chased
• 2:00:23
  after the right hand side, taken down from behind. That's
• 2:00:28
  State Tillman, the freshman safety coming from the outside a
• 2:00:32
  shack sim sack number five tonight for the Utah defense.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is this is a great effort. You know,
• 2:00:39
  he just doesn't give up and just sells out. It
• 2:00:43
  makes it makes a great play.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: That's again a testament to the depth on this Utah.
• 2:00:47
  These are all the two's out there right now for
• 2:00:49
  Utah and great covers.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 3: In the secondary which really created that opportunity.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: Second down in sixteen, back on the ASU side of
• 2:00:57
  midfield of the Devil forty eight.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 3: Ball knocked down, nearly intercepted.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, Maroni and I came on an edge, Blitz knocked
• 2:01:12
  it in the air and Cash Dylan almost had the interception. Yeah,
• 2:01:18
  that ball just seemed like it hung in the air.
• 2:01:21
  It's just a scosh too long. Phraysues like it. Third
• 2:01:26
  down at sixteen.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 3: They're so good at knocking that ball down on those
• 2:01:28
  quick screens so often Robinson stays in third down in sixteen.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 2: Two for two on this.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: Drive are the devils sims and the pistol hands off.
• 2:01:45
  Robinson met immediately and driven backwards. Dallas Baka Lahi right there.
• 2:01:51
  Come on, oh, and they throw a flag for they're
• 2:01:54
  gonna call a personal foul here because they threw the
• 2:02:01
  tail back to the ground. They're gonna get this on
• 2:02:02
  Baka Lahi.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 7: After the player is over.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 4: Personal fowl defenst Number ninety eight unnecessary roughness fifteen yard
• 2:02:12
  penalty of automatical first down.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: I want to hear Scott say it back in my day,
• 2:02:18
  that wouldn't have been a flag because it's true.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just now, it's just silly. It's just
• 2:02:23
  a football play.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: It went on a little too long, got a little
• 2:02:27
  excited to Dallas focka Lahi, and drew the fifteen yard
• 2:02:30
  penalty keeps the drive alive.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 3: J C.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: Hart's out there, red shirt freshman transfer from Auburn. He's
• 2:02:36
  out playing a little corner right now. First down in
• 2:02:40
  ten now at the Utah thirty eight U Savio in
• 2:02:45
  motion seems to pass a lot of time. This time
• 2:02:48
  fires over the middle. It's caught juggled and down at
• 2:02:51
  the Utah twenty five yard line.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these are tough plays right here, because you know,
• 2:02:59
  these second teamers are in there and they're playing pretty good,
• 2:03:01
  you know, but just hate the team to go down
• 2:03:05
  the field and score meaningless points.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: Dale Moss made that catches first tonight, just his second
• 2:03:09
  off the season. Five forty o'clock running to play all
• 2:03:13
  Utah forty two to ten. Oh, you'd like not to
• 2:03:16
  give up another touchdown if possible. Simms to pass again,
• 2:03:19
  pressure from the outside, hit as he throws toward the
• 2:03:21
  end zone, off the fingers and incomplete trying to squeeze
• 2:03:27
  that ball into Derek Gusebio. He's only five to nine.
• 2:03:31
  If he's five eleven, that might be a touchdown.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I tell you, it's just he's so close in
• 2:03:37
  so many situations. I mean, they've just relentlessly gotten after
• 2:03:40
  Jeff Simms tonight.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: They've sacked him five times, but they have hit him
• 2:03:44
  a lot. So Cli hit him a lot just half
• 2:03:47
  a step earlier, and so second down agen from the
• 2:03:52
  Utah twenty five. Simms by himself in the backfield this
• 2:03:55
  time splits three receivers to the left hand side, quick
• 2:03:59
  flanker screen the outside caught that immediately wrestled down.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 2: Excellent work.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: Elijah Ellis got Damarius Robinson. Third down and long coming up.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 3: I think the second teamers have played this screen better
• 2:04:15
  than the first guys. I mean, just super aggressive there
• 2:04:18
  and getting to the ball.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: How many more outstanding football playing sons does Luthor Ellis have?
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 3: They just keep the five, He's got a van full
• 2:04:29
  of kids.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: Third down and eight seems to pass again a lot
• 2:04:34
  of time being chased. Pros it into Robinson wide open
• 2:04:38
  fifteen to ten and tackled finally down at the Utah
• 2:04:42
  eight yard line. Somebody lost him big time. Blake Cotton
• 2:04:47
  made a touchdown saving tackle for Utah. As we come
• 2:04:50
  up on four and a half to play first and
• 2:04:52
  goal here for the Devils.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 3: And backs is kind of reading his way out, sees
• 2:04:56
  the linebackers supposed to get him, goes in and.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: Just slips out. Robinson stays in the ball game.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: First and goal at the Utah seven here for Sims
• 2:05:06
  and the Devils, throwing the fade to the end zone,
• 2:05:10
  up and incomplete. They've loved that play tonight. They were
• 2:05:15
  trying to squeeze that ball into Aji On.
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what would be nice is to just
• 2:05:22
  get to stop him on Dallas right here. That will
• 2:05:24
  just be really a nice way to end this football game.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Kenny Dillingham's not kicking a field goal.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 3: Well, you know another thing Kenny Dillingham might be realizing
• 2:05:31
  is I got to get this quarterback ready to play.
• 2:05:33
  I got to give him as much game experience as
• 2:05:35
  I can.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you saw levit before the game, was
• 2:05:38
  wearing a boot, plowing out on the field. Five receivers
• 2:05:43
  in the pattern again here for Simms, second to goal,
• 2:05:47
  he's going to keep it himself.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 2: Right hand side.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: Jeff Simms gets to the edge and spins out of
• 2:05:51
  one tackle, then right into another tackler and he's dropped
• 2:05:55
  it about the three guard line. They tilt been there
• 2:05:58
  to apply the pressure along with Elijah Ellis.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 2: Third down and goal coming up.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 3: Pretty nice play there. It felt like three or four
• 2:06:04
  guys got held on that one, but they didn't call it.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: So third and goal at the Utah three plot running
• 2:06:12
  at three point fifty to play in a game that
• 2:06:13
  has been out of reach for quite a while.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 2: Forty two Utah.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: Three for three on this drive on third down, Sims
• 2:06:24
  in the gun, Robinson next to him. Utah was seven
• 2:06:28
  in the box, Sims to pass pressure coming over the middle.
• 2:06:35
  Loon had McLane open in the back of the end zone.
• 2:06:39
  Couldn't get it to him incomplete. I'll bring up fourth.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 2: Down and goal.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 3: Come on, Hughes, let's go. This would be the cherry
• 2:06:46
  on top tonight. It really would spend a great night
• 2:06:48
  for Utah. And trying to dump it in there to
• 2:06:51
  that first guy through the hole when he ran through
• 2:06:54
  the hall, didn't have his feet set to hit the
• 2:06:56
  second one.
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: Here we go fourth down. They've been very successful on
• 2:07:01
  fourth down tonight. Four for four, Sims in the gun,
• 2:07:08
  Utah shifting around up front, hill back pedal to pass
• 2:07:11
  outside throws incomplete, try to get it to Belik, but
• 2:07:16
  playing of the Utah second team defense stands up big
• 2:07:19
  and stops a issue at the Utah three three twenty
• 2:07:24
  one to play in a time out of the field.
• 2:07:26
  We'll come back and kill these final three twenty one
• 2:07:29
  decks at Utah Football from ESPN seven hundred and the
• 2:07:31
  youth sports radio.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 2: Network Big Bank. You to our friend to do Tara.
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 3: They founded some sponsor the defense when it comes to
• 2:07:38
  the field each.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 2: And every game.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what got their money's worth on
• 2:07:42
  that after sixteen plays in seventy two yards six forty
• 2:07:45
  four off the clock, the Utah defense makes a stop down.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 3: Near the goal line. Yeah, And it's just a fitting
• 2:07:50
  end for this defense because it because they played great today.
• 2:07:53
  They didn't you know, they made Assu work for everything
• 2:07:56
  they got. And in the meantime, you touches ran down
• 2:08:00
  a field to scored every time, and they didn't give
• 2:08:03
  up the big play and that that's what you really
• 2:08:05
  need to do defensively. They were there really weren't any
• 2:08:08
  big big plays by Arizona State tonight. And and it's
• 2:08:12
  indicative of the score. You know, we like to see
• 2:08:15
  this at the end of the day for what it is,
• 2:08:16
  and it's a butt whooping by Utah here at forty
• 2:08:19
  two to ten.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a couple of top twenty
• 2:08:21
  five teams squaring off next week in Provo's got the
• 2:08:25
  teams in front of Utah.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 2: Utah was just outside the bowl.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: ASU is gonna lose tonight twenty one, Iowa State twenty two,
• 2:08:30
  Florida State twenty five. I'd say Utah probably jumps in,
• 2:08:35
  probably at twenty one, twenty two, in twenty.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 3: Even they might go higher because this is an extremely
• 2:08:40
  impressive win. Of course, you know how it is when
• 2:08:43
  everyone goes to bed at night, they don't really watch
• 2:08:45
  this game.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: And bird Fick one handing off Bryce Duke running that
• 2:08:51
  ball straight ahead. Good to see Bryce get a little time.
• 2:08:53
  He recovered that squid kick a little bit earlier, again,
• 2:08:59
  getting shippy down stairs right now between the ASU ones.
• 2:09:03
  The ones on defense are still in right now for ASU.
• 2:09:06
  The backups are in for Utah. As we come up
• 2:09:09
  on three minutes to play. Rice dude picked up two
• 2:09:11
  yards on first down, second down and eight.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's all about just milking the clock
• 2:09:16
  right now. But these young guys are like, screw that.
• 2:09:18
  I want to play. You know, why, why aren't we
• 2:09:20
  stopping this? Of course, I think if Utah gets a
• 2:09:23
  first down and Kenny dilleam, he's not gonna call a
• 2:09:25
  time out at this.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 1: Point, Utah breaks the huddle, second down and eight from
• 2:09:29
  their own six yard line. Fick One's gonna look to
• 2:09:34
  throw down the field and it's caught up the sideline.
• 2:09:37
  They go finally out of bounds out near the forty
• 2:09:40
  one yard line.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 3: How about Autoteya, the transfer from Utah State, got his
• 2:09:44
  second catch of the year. Yeah, noun man, he'll be
• 2:09:47
  back into things. This is a beautiful throw. He just
• 2:09:49
  fetthers it right over that defender. Autotia, look at him go.
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: He's a former wide receiver now at tight end. And
• 2:09:56
  I think he picked up about thirty five yards. We'll
• 2:09:58
  see where they marked came out. They marked the thirty eight,
• 2:10:01
  so he picked up thirty two yards.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 3: It's it's a hard thing to do, you know, because
• 2:10:07
  everyone's using this time for their own advantage, you know,
• 2:10:10
  and it's like, but I love the car.
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: By the way, Bird Fickland is nine for nine passing
• 2:10:16
  this year. He is nine for nine for one hundred
• 2:10:18
  and thirty eight yards. We've got a time out on
• 2:10:20
  the field, the two minute time out. We'll come back
• 2:10:22
  and let Scott wax poetic about Bird Ficklin and autot and.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 2: All that stuff.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 1: Forty two to ten, Utah as we wind things down
• 2:10:30
  on a Saturday night, This is Utah football from ESPN
• 2:10:33
  seven hundred two minutes to play, Utah forty two, ASU ten.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 3: About this.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: Scott got a little stand from Dougie t Doug Tamro,
• 2:10:45
  who's the outstanding media relations coordinator from ASU. This is
• 2:10:49
  their first Big twelve loss, Scott, their first Big twelve loss.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 3: In three hundred and fifty eight days. ASU's yeah, their
• 2:10:57
  first one, first Big twelve loss. Oh my god, three
• 2:11:00
  hundred and fifty eight days. I'm gonna throw a stat
• 2:11:03
  out there. You ready for that? Yeah? I think this
• 2:11:06
  is Utah's first Big twelve victory at home, at home,
• 2:11:10
  at home, at home. Wow.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: They beat Baylor here last year, but it wasn't a
• 2:11:14
  Big twelve game. It was that game that was lined
• 2:11:17
  up before they joined the Big twelve. Yeah, this is
• 2:11:19
  the first Big twelve win at rice Eco Stadium for
• 2:11:22
  the University of Utah in.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 3: The Big twelve. Wow. Tell you what, Bert ficklin Man,
• 2:11:29
  I'd be surprised if he put it up again. Yeah.
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: Bryce Dukes in the backfield with burn On first and
• 2:11:36
  ten from the Utah thirty eight two minutes to play,
• 2:11:40
  they handed to Daniel Bray. Daniel Bray's got the edge,
• 2:11:42
  Daniel Brays got the forty five yard line. He picks
• 2:11:45
  up seven. Tell you what that freshman can really scoop.
• 2:11:49
  Daniel Bray's had a nice night tonight. Take a look
• 2:11:52
  at Daniel Bray's numbers. That's now five carries for forty
• 2:11:57
  eight yards.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 3: What it's been is, you know, he started a game
• 2:12:01
  in the second half of Utah in the backfield. You know,
• 2:12:03
  he wasn't the fly sweep guy was he was the
• 2:12:05
  featured back And that just says we got a lot
• 2:12:08
  of faith in a young player like that. Very very
• 2:12:10
  impressive night. He was a great sparkpalk too. For Utah.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: They break the huddle with about ten seconds to go
• 2:12:16
  here nine eight seven, and they'll go into the victory formation,
• 2:12:21
  the best formation of football.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 3: Scott I love. It's my favorite bird.
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 1: Fickland takes anise surrounded by the Karry Rodgers and Wayshan
• 2:12:30
  Parker and Utah will have to snap it just one
• 2:12:33
  more time get their fifth win of the year, their
• 2:12:37
  first Big Twelve win here at rece Ecle Stadium.
• 2:12:40

• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: Conference and set up a huge showdown next weekend with
• 2:12:46
  Byu Dan in Provo.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 3: You know what's nice. You know, you go to West Virginia,
• 2:12:51
  you're expected to win the game. But what comes out
• 2:12:53
  of that game is Daniel Bray, you know, And all
• 2:12:55
  of a sudden he goes, oh, hey, this kid can play,
• 2:12:57
  and you've lost Hunter Andrews and you found some more
• 2:13:02
  offense out of Daniel Bray.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 1: One more snap here for bird ficklind. He takes a
• 2:13:06
  step back, takes a knee, and that'll do it.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: We began the night with a driving rainstorm, lightning, and well,
• 2:13:16
  mother Nature flexing her muscles. And then it was the
• 2:13:19
  utah Utes flexing their muscles tonight with a forty two

  move to five and one on the year end, two

  great night to be a Ute. But some nights are
• 2:13:32
  greater than others, and this is one of those nights.
• 2:13:34
  Good resounding win over the twenty first ranked team in
• 2:13:37
  college football.
