- 0:00Speaker 1: Utah fans.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to southern California and the LA
- 0:05Speaker 2: Memorial Coliseum on a spectacular Saturday nights here in SOCl.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Utah and USC squaring off this evening for a fourth
- 0:15Speaker 2: time in the last three years, and a big win
- 0:17Speaker 2: on the line tonight. Utah trying to keep its PAC
- 0:19Speaker 2: twelve title hopes alive. USC trying to steady its wobbly
- 0:23Speaker 2: ship right now, and we should have a dandy so
- 0:26Speaker 2: good to be with you, Bill Riley, joined as always
- 0:29Speaker 2: by my broadcast partner Scott Mitchell upstairs and Stevenson Sylvester
- 0:33Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer downstairs.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Scott.
- 0:35Speaker 2: When these two teams get together in the last few years,
- 0:38Speaker 2: the games have just been fun and entertaining.
- 0:40Speaker 1: In Utah's won three straight.
- 0:41Speaker 2: But if they're gonna make it four in a row
- 0:43Speaker 2: in this series, Scott, they're gonna eat their best effort
- 0:45Speaker 2: of the year here tonight.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Oh, there's no question about it. And you know the
- 0:48Speaker 1: rule is in the PAC twelve, if you want to
- 0:50Speaker 1: win a championship, you have to go through USC. Never changes,
- 0:54Speaker 1: is no different right now, USC doesn't have a loss
- 0:56Speaker 1: in the conference. Winning on the road is such a
- 0:59Speaker 1: huge thing in conference. But Utah has confidence here one
- 1:02Speaker 1: games here and that's a huge thing to have that confidence.
- 1:05Speaker 1: And it's got to be really Bryce and Barnes has
- 1:09Speaker 1: to continue this kind of surge that he's had and
- 1:12Speaker 1: he's got to play better. He's got to make some
- 1:14Speaker 1: big throw he's got to make some big plays. And
- 1:16Speaker 1: Utah's got to be offensive. They got to be offensive offensively,
- 1:19Speaker 1: you know, they really do. They gotta. They got to
- 1:22Speaker 1: score some points to beat USC because Caleb Williams is
- 1:25Speaker 1: the real deal, and they will. They will score some
- 1:27Speaker 1: points against this Utah defense. Confetence is so big, they
- 1:31Speaker 1: had it all week long.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Let's go down to the third member of our broadcast team,
- 1:34Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer Stevenson Sylvester sly House.
- 1:37Speaker 1: The vibe. How's the confident on that sideline right now?
- 1:40Speaker 3: It is great energy down here, Bill, This is awesome.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Got Utah fans all throughout this stadium, USC fans, everybody's
- 1:47Speaker 3: excited for this matchup. But being in the locker room,
- 1:50Speaker 3: Coach Whittingham's message was give it all you got. Simple
- 1:54Speaker 3: is that you know. Of course, he gives the cliche
- 1:56Speaker 3: statements of being fast, being physical by the main thing
- 1:59Speaker 3: that he would over and over give it all, you
- 2:01Speaker 3: got leave nothing out, because that's Scott said. You know,
- 2:04Speaker 3: if roads to the Championship goes through us. See, everybody
- 2:06Speaker 3: understands that. So expect Utah to be very aggressive coming
- 2:09Speaker 3: out to start this game.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Well, they'll get the football first. USC won the toss,
- 2:13Speaker 2: they've elected to the FIRS. So Scott, we'll see what
- 2:16Speaker 2: they can do on offense, and we'll see what Bryson
- 2:18Speaker 2: Barnes and Andy Lovewick can do on this opening drive
- 2:20Speaker 2: here today.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really curious to see how how USC handles
- 2:23Speaker 1: to run. Kyle just played it straight last week and
- 2:26Speaker 1: really got hurt. Other teams haven't. They've really, you know,
- 2:29Speaker 1: crowded the box and put extra guys in that run support.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Will Utah take advantage of those opportunities and throw the
- 2:35Speaker 1: ball down down the field. Look, if you're someone who
- 2:38Speaker 1: loves football and you love college football, you got to
- 2:41Speaker 1: be so excited if you're Utah to play here in
- 2:43Speaker 1: this historic place, these players. If you can't get excited
- 2:46Speaker 1: for this game right now, there's something wrong with it.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Eddie Chaplinski, the punter, will kick it off. He handles
- 2:52Speaker 2: kicking duties for the USC Trojan Spikey Matthews Southern Calibornian ady,
- 2:56Speaker 2: but Charlie bitchit back deep to receive the kick. The
- 2:59Speaker 2: shadows or creep across the coliseum. It's a perfect night
- 3:02Speaker 2: for football here in Los Angeles. So glad you're with
- 3:05Speaker 2: us wherever you might be today as we broadcasted from
- 3:09Speaker 2: Southern California. The kick is high, it's deep and fair,
- 3:12Speaker 2: caught by Mikey Matthews right at the goal line, so
- 3:14Speaker 2: Utah will be get first intent in their own twenty
- 3:16Speaker 2: five yard line. We'll see Jaquinton Jackson, We'll see Bryce
- 3:20Speaker 2: and Barnes and maybe more importantly Scott.
- 3:22Speaker 1: When we see that offensive line show up again this week.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Well it was a big, a big step forward a
- 3:26Speaker 1: week ago, and it's so important that that they get
- 3:29Speaker 1: off the ball and they have this surge like they
- 3:31Speaker 1: did last week. And you've got to be confident in
- 3:34Speaker 1: who you're supposed to block. Go block them with some confidence,
- 3:36Speaker 1: so you create some of those holes because you've got
- 3:39Speaker 1: some running backs who are stout and will get They
- 3:42Speaker 1: don't need a big hole, They just need a little
- 3:43Speaker 1: bit of crease there and they can get through it
- 3:45Speaker 1: and then get a you know, some nice yards running
- 3:47Speaker 1: the ball.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Utah and the all white look breaks the huddle. Barson
- 3:50Speaker 2: Barnes goes under center first intent from his own twenty five,
- 3:53Speaker 2: two tights and two wides for Utah to Quintin and
- 3:55Speaker 2: Jackson behind him. UFC crowding the box with seven now
- 3:59Speaker 2: a turn in a gift you win did breaking to
- 4:01Speaker 2: the outside. He's got the twenty five to thirty thirty
- 4:03Speaker 2: five and out of bounds at the thirty eight yard line.
- 4:05Speaker 2: They kicked him inside.
- 4:06Speaker 1: He kicked it outside, picked up thirteen yards to the
- 4:09Speaker 1: first file, first down on first down for the use. Yeah,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and USC, they've crowded the box. They said, okay, try
- 4:15Speaker 1: to beat us throwing the ball. And what a great
- 4:17Speaker 1: job there by Utah and jae Quinnon getting around the edge.
- 4:19Speaker 1: You know, that's not something we've seen from him this year.
- 4:21Speaker 1: That's a great sign. Great first play of the game.
- 4:24Speaker 2: The second player of the game will be first and
- 4:26Speaker 2: ten for the thirty eight yard line. Bryson and Jaquin
- 4:28Speaker 2: did back up into the shotgut three receivers at a
- 4:31Speaker 2: tight end for Utah ust with four at the line.
- 4:33Speaker 2: This time around, they'll turn and hand it off again
- 4:35Speaker 2: to Jackson straight ahead secondary forty six and forty seven
- 4:39Speaker 2: goes to Quinton Jackson for a game of almost nine.
- 4:42Speaker 2: On first down, kayleb Bullock, the safety made the tackle.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Utah looks good on the first two plays.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Well, that offensive line looks really good. I mean there's
- 4:49Speaker 1: you know, when you can re establish the line screams
- 4:51Speaker 1: talk about all the time. The first two plays, Utah
- 4:54Speaker 1: has done an excellent job of coming off the ball
- 4:56Speaker 1: with those those front five offensive line. I mean, big, big,
- 5:00Speaker 1: big difference here in the nifty baky in the ball game.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Here on second and one, they operate out of the
- 5:06Speaker 2: shotgun two tights and two wides for Utah. Now they
- 5:09Speaker 2: ship the strength to the left hand side usc crowding
- 5:12Speaker 2: the line expecting a run. Bryson Barnes will pass instead
- 5:14Speaker 2: looking down the field, throwing down the field.
- 5:16Speaker 1: He's got a man open.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Thirty twenty five, twenty fifteen ten bad touchdown, touchdown You
- 5:23Speaker 4: see only buck get a wheel round and the ute
- 5:25Speaker 4: strake early.
- 5:28Speaker 1: You know, we talked about Bryson Barnes when he had
- 5:30Speaker 1: those big plays. Man, you gotta hit him this week.
- 5:32Speaker 1: You can't miss these plays. This week, and he did it.
- 5:35Speaker 1: He did it, he did it, he did it. You
- 5:37Speaker 1: love to see that growth from a young young player,
- 5:40Speaker 1: and you know, Utah dial it up. But what was
- 5:42Speaker 1: good about this is USC was crowded the line of
- 5:44Speaker 1: scrimmage and Utah made him play for trying to stop
- 5:47Speaker 1: the run.
- 5:48Speaker 2: It's the same play they missed the week, so that
- 5:51Speaker 2: time they didn't miss it. Baki on the wheel route
- 5:54Speaker 2: fifty three yards in Utah leads it, Pat coming up, Pat,
- 6:00Speaker 2: Pat is good pull. Becker splits the uprights and that
- 6:05Speaker 2: is exactly the start in Utah needed tonight. Three plays,
- 6:09Speaker 2: seventy five yards. They'd pay it off with a Pepsi touchdown.
- 6:12Speaker 1: All right, if I'm nitpicking, okay, stop it stop. It
- 6:15Speaker 1: was a little too fast. Okay, they need about five
- 6:18Speaker 1: more plays, run a little bit of time off. You know,
- 6:20Speaker 1: you don't want to get in a track meet with USC.
- 6:22Speaker 1: But man, that's a that's an impressive drive. And you
- 6:25Speaker 1: know what, it all starts up front. They ran the football.
- 6:28Speaker 1: They set up all starts out up front.
- 6:30Speaker 5: Number forty five.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Our first app being brought to you, boy proudly by
- 6:34Speaker 2: bud Light. Welcoming Utah fans to rice Ecles and a
- 6:37Speaker 2: fair number to the coliseum here tonight.
- 6:40Speaker 1: So just a.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Minute and put sixteen seconds off the game pluck.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Utah leads at seven to nothing. I don't want to
- 6:47Speaker 1: speak out of turn here, but I'm telling you that
- 6:50Speaker 1: offensive line, it just that that defense was non existent
- 6:53Speaker 1: right there. There was there was no resistance there was.
- 6:56Speaker 1: It was just like it was almost like a walk
- 6:59Speaker 1: through offense where the defensive players are just there to,
- 7:03Speaker 1: you know, be placeholders. There was no urgency, nothing in
- 7:07Speaker 1: any part of USC's defense. Deep an eye on this.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch, the uber talented freshman running back, is back
- 7:12Speaker 2: to receive this kick from Chase Carter.
- 7:15Speaker 1: High and end over end into the end zone.
- 7:16Speaker 2: It goes, Branch won't return it, and Caleb Williams and
- 7:20Speaker 2: the USC offense will begin first to ten at their
- 7:22Speaker 2: own twenty five yard line. So the offense did their job.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Early's goot. Now the big test begins for this Utah
- 7:28Speaker 2: defense against the best player in college football.
- 7:30Speaker 1: You know, I'm fascinated to see here. Early is Caleb
- 7:32Speaker 1: Williams gonna scramble out of the pocket. He did that
- 7:35Speaker 1: against Utah early in both games, and he was a problem.
- 7:39Speaker 1: But he you know, is he willing to do that
- 7:42Speaker 1: right now? That's going to be something I'm curious to see.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Here we go first in ten, Williams of the shotgut
- 7:47Speaker 2: Austin Jones, the Sandford transfer next to him. Three receivers
- 7:50Speaker 2: in the pattern, and a five man front here for Utah.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Now they back off in just four upfront. Caleb Williams's
- 7:55Speaker 2: going to change the play Utah with a safety high.
- 7:59Speaker 2: That's Nate Richie out of the shotgun. Williams on first
- 8:03Speaker 2: and ten hands it off to Austin Jones, and Jones
- 8:05Speaker 2: has running room now beyond the thirty, thirty five and
- 8:08Speaker 2: thirty six.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Well, how do you do? Usc ran it?
- 8:12Speaker 2: Ran it effectively a front picked up eleven on first down,
- 8:14Speaker 2: then a first.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Down four of the twenty read with the tackle and
- 8:17Speaker 1: they can run the ball in simple counter. That was
- 8:19Speaker 1: big play.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Here we go tempo and Caleb Williams gonna run it
- 8:24Speaker 2: and throw it out into the flat. It's complete there
- 8:26Speaker 2: and upbended at the forty yard line was the wide receiver,
- 8:30Speaker 2: Michael Jackson. The wide receiver made it and that was
- 8:33Speaker 2: a tackle of the open field by J. T.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Broddy. And that's one of those RPOs. I'm not sure
- 8:37Speaker 1: how they didn't call holding on the USC on the
- 8:39Speaker 1: outside one.
- 8:40Speaker 2: With tempo again. Second down, William's gonna throw it again
- 8:43Speaker 2: into the open field. He's got a man in the
- 8:44Speaker 2: open field. The wide receiver caught and dragged down. Great
- 8:47Speaker 2: open field tackle by Utah that time.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a nice jo, was it? Azemner? J T.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Brodby was a Mayavon that made the tackle. Third down
- 8:56Speaker 2: at about four coming up here. They'll substitute this time
- 8:59Speaker 2: on down. Marshawn Lloyd, the tailback comes in the ballgame,
- 9:03Speaker 2: as does Simote Peppa for the University of Utah. He'll
- 9:08Speaker 2: operate by himself out of the gun, spread the field
- 9:10Speaker 2: with five wide receivers, will Caleb Williams. Utah will rush
- 9:14Speaker 2: four maybe five here on third down and four Williams
- 9:18Speaker 2: out of the gun. Five receivers in the pattern, Utah
- 9:21Speaker 2: showing pressure, and here they come Williams looking looking, looking, scanning,
- 9:25Speaker 2: still looking. Pressure coming. He's gonna scramble and run with it.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Caleb Williams to the fifty, Caleb Williams to the forty five.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Caleb Williams running sideways and out of bounds at the
- 9:34Speaker 2: Utah forty four and excellent job by the Utah secondary,
- 9:38Speaker 2: but they couldn't get home with four that time.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Scott No. And that was the thing I was talking about,
- 9:42Speaker 1: was would he be willing to do this? This is
- 9:44Speaker 1: how he heard Utah a year ago, and it didn't
- 9:46Speaker 1: feel like he wanted to do it. And then he
- 9:48Speaker 1: just finally found that crease. And you know, these defensive linemen,
- 9:51Speaker 1: there's a there's kind of a consistent rush, but you
- 9:54Speaker 1: gotta there's got to be a point where you just
- 9:56Speaker 1: got to go after it.
- 9:57Speaker 2: From the Utah forty five first and ten USC clock
- 10:00Speaker 2: running twelve minutes to play here the first quarter, seven nothing,
- 10:03Speaker 2: Utah oreshn Lloyd to the backfield this time with Caleb Williams.
- 10:06Speaker 2: On first down, they'll hand it off to Lloyd. He's
- 10:09Speaker 2: got some running room bouncing to the outside look out
- 10:11Speaker 2: thirty twenty five high step, twenty fifteen to ten to
- 10:14Speaker 2: five touchdown. USC ran the ball and they ran it
- 10:19Speaker 2: in Utah and they have themselves a forty five yard
- 10:22Speaker 2: touchdown run. Mistackles up run cost Utah that time, and
- 10:26Speaker 2: we're a pat away down.
- 10:28Speaker 1: You know this, these linebackers need to read that. I mean,
- 10:31Speaker 1: it's a simple read. You see those two guys rushing
- 10:34Speaker 1: and there's there's no there's not that quick penetration. You
- 10:36Speaker 1: got to blow up that counter like at the line
- 10:39Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Is that first guy coming off the end.
- 10:41Speaker 1: You gotta you just gotta make a big old pile there.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And it was just too easy. And they're not those
- 10:47Speaker 1: linebackers the defensive end are not seeing it on that play.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Side pat coming up from Dennis Lynch. Well, if you
- 10:54Speaker 2: had running touchdown on your Bingo card, you're feeling pretty
- 10:57Speaker 2: good about things.
- 10:58Speaker 1: If you're USC fans.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Right now, five place, seventy five yards and a touchdown.
- 11:04Speaker 2: We've not even played five minutes here were tied at seven.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Time out on the field from the coliseum the Big
- 11:09Speaker 2: o'tires broadcast booth.
- 11:10Speaker 1: It's Utah seven at USC seven. Id're out of town.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Utah fans want to keep up with live college sports
- 11:16Speaker 1: downloads of new Varsity Network gap, Apple and Android.
- 11:20Speaker 2: The College Sports line on the Varsity Network app. Five
- 11:23Speaker 2: play seventy five yards, most of it on the ground, slid.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Why didn't you see on that touchdown?
- 11:27Speaker 3: Well for the offense, it was for Utah offense. It
- 11:30Speaker 3: was a great drive, establishing the run early, finding the
- 11:33Speaker 3: mismatch with the jump motion. It's true Andy Ludwig's style,
- 11:37Speaker 3: getting Sionibaki in the open field, which nobody's gonna catch.
- 11:40Speaker 3: Great offensive drive, but defensively you get their us. He's
- 11:43Speaker 3: giving you a keys. You got to take those keys
- 11:46Speaker 3: and slow them down. We got into a third down opportunity,
- 11:49Speaker 3: but we ended up substituting promote Peppa andrewa tafuna in
- 11:52Speaker 3: not a speed package. And of course we said, if
- 11:55Speaker 3: you're getting Cayleb Williams out of the pocket, that's what
- 11:57Speaker 3: you don't want to do, so you want to keep
- 11:59Speaker 3: them growd in the hockey.
- 12:00Speaker 1: We didn't on that.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Drive, gave him an opportunity and they scored.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Utah's only giving up sixty six yards a game on
- 12:06Speaker 2: the ground. They gave up sixty nine on that drive.
- 12:08Speaker 2: They're gonna have to tighten that thing up. USC's got
- 12:11Speaker 2: guys that can run, they just don't usually try to
- 12:12Speaker 2: do it. Seven to seven eleven forty nine to play
- 12:16Speaker 2: here the first quarter of Mikey Matthews deep with Charlie
- 12:18Speaker 2: Vincent's Andy Chaplinsky's got a teed up the left. He
- 12:21Speaker 2: puts his foot into it. It's a high end over
- 12:24Speaker 2: and kick. Mike's gonna return this one. He'll take it
- 12:26Speaker 2: at to ten up to the fifteen twenty Mikey Matthews
- 12:28Speaker 2: runs into him. Man stays on his feet and rolls
- 12:30Speaker 2: out to about the thirty yard line. Well, I thought
- 12:32Speaker 2: he'd be tackled at about the twenty five Mike. He
- 12:34Speaker 2: kept his feet moving and picked up about nineteen yards
- 12:38Speaker 2: on the return twenty nine thirty yard line. Utah will
- 12:40Speaker 2: start first in ten and we'll see what drive number
- 12:43Speaker 2: two looks like. If it's anything like drive number one,
- 12:46Speaker 2: it'll be a good time for Utah.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure you're gonna see you know this
- 12:49Speaker 1: similar type of thing. It's good to see ja Quinton
- 12:52Speaker 1: Jackson running like he is. And you know USC is
- 12:57Speaker 1: still gonna load that box and Utah may have to
- 13:00Speaker 1: throw it here early to to to be effective and
- 13:03Speaker 1: get get the ball.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Going JJ in the ball game, Rison goes under center,
- 13:07Speaker 2: two tights and two wides for Utah on first and ten.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Now they moved the strength to the right hand side
- 13:12Speaker 2: first and ten for the twenty nine yard line. Motion
- 13:15Speaker 2: man across the formation, turning a gift to Gwin the
- 13:17Speaker 2: Jackson running room again, JJ on his feet thirty five
- 13:19Speaker 2: and down to about the thirty six yard line as
- 13:21Speaker 2: he picks up seven on first down. Just all kinds
- 13:24Speaker 2: of room to run out for three runs and big
- 13:26Speaker 2: runs all of them.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Yeah, huge hole right there. And again it's the it's
- 13:30Speaker 1: it's really baffling to see because they shouldn't be able
- 13:33Speaker 1: to run the football and they're doing a very nice job.
- 13:35Speaker 1: And it's those linemen engaging and sustaining blocks that it
- 13:39Speaker 1: just at that first level is so huge, and that's
- 13:42Speaker 1: what's happening.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Jackson out Vaki in second and two shotgun here for Barnes,
- 13:46Speaker 2: Baki next to him. Three receivers on the left hand
- 13:48Speaker 2: side from the Utah thirty seven. They handed the Vaki
- 13:51Speaker 2: nothing doing. He's stacked up in the backfield and dropped
- 13:54Speaker 2: back of the thirty five yard line. Romelo height the
- 13:58Speaker 2: defensive end made the ten to play for USC. But
- 14:01Speaker 2: they had that one sniffed out for the very beginning
- 14:03Speaker 2: third down at about five coming up here.
- 14:05Speaker 1: For the utes, and that's the first play. USC's actually
- 14:07Speaker 1: got some penetration at the line of scrimmage. And the
- 14:10Speaker 1: penetration just blew up the play before it started.
- 14:13Speaker 2: See to me, that's another instance where he runs a
- 14:15Speaker 2: quinin and Jackson tough between the tackles. Yeah, there we go,
- 14:19Speaker 2: third down in about four and a half to go
- 14:20Speaker 2: for Utah. Valley of the ball game. Now they empty
- 14:23Speaker 2: the backfield and then they bring him back in again.
- 14:25Speaker 1: That's j J.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Four wide receivers in the pattern of movement up front
- 14:28Speaker 2: of the utes. Here's a referee with our call.
- 14:35Speaker 1: This one's gonna go against Utah.
- 14:41Speaker 6: Illegal snap infraction offense number fifty one, five yard.
- 14:45Speaker 5: Penalty remains third down.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Usually the snapp infractions are on the center. That would
- 14:51Speaker 2: have been coldly they called about Keaton Bills. I'm not
- 14:53Speaker 2: sure that's him unless he was barking out signals. Either way,
- 14:56Speaker 2: it's a five yard penalty third and four and a half.
- 14:58Speaker 2: He gomes third and nine and a half down for Utah.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's something you didn't see a lot those
- 15:02Speaker 1: donalties by that offensive line a week ago. Four wide
- 15:05Speaker 1: in the pattern.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Now JJ in the backfield, Brison backs up into the shotgun.
- 15:08Speaker 1: USC's showing pressure. Here they come.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Barnes back pedals, rolls to his right, looks down the field,
- 15:13Speaker 2: throws down the field, caught and dropped. Yanil McLain had it,
- 15:17Speaker 2: he wasn't gonna get first down yardage, might have picked
- 15:19Speaker 2: up five or six instead.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Fourth down coming here for Utah.
- 15:22Speaker 2: What do we say, Scott, penalties will always tip track
- 15:25Speaker 2: and drive, and that penalty cost Utah right there.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Yeah, and Bryson was looking way down the field. If
- 15:29Speaker 1: he'd gotten the ball earlier, too, Minerre, he would have
- 15:34Speaker 1: actually got the first down. He's just really late thrown
- 15:37Speaker 1: him the ball. Zachariah Branch at his own twenty eight.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Jack Baumeister on the punt, Branch dangerous Bowmeister's kick is away,
- 15:45Speaker 2: it's high, it's gonna be a fair catch called by Branch,
- 15:48Speaker 2: and he drops it then picks it back up again
- 15:50Speaker 2: at about the seventeen yard line, so he fair caught
- 15:54Speaker 2: it that it went through his arms and he lost
- 15:55Speaker 2: about four more yards on it. They'll say the sixteen
- 15:57Speaker 2: yard line is where usc will start when we get back,
- 16:00Speaker 2: so it'll be about an eighty four yard field here
- 16:03Speaker 2: for the Trojans.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Fifty four yard punt no return.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Time out of the field here, ten oh two to
- 16:08Speaker 2: play in a very slow moving first quarter. It's Utah
- 16:12Speaker 2: seven and USC seven from the Coliseum in La Bill Riley,
- 16:16Speaker 2: Scott Mitchell, the Hall of Famer Stevenson Semester downstairs. Seven
- 16:20Speaker 2: sevens our score here. We still have ten minutes to
- 16:23Speaker 2: play in the first quarter. USC getting their second possession
- 16:25Speaker 2: from their own sixteen yard line. Last time they ran
- 16:28Speaker 2: the head out of it sixty nine yards worth for
- 16:31Speaker 2: a touchdown. See what Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley dial
- 16:35Speaker 2: up here on drive number two. Marshawn Lloyd in the
- 16:37Speaker 2: ball game with Caleb Williams. Utah was seven in the
- 16:39Speaker 2: box right now on first and ten. Caleb barking the signal,
- 16:43Speaker 2: clapping his hands, handing the ball off to Lloyd, who's
- 16:46Speaker 2: got second level running.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Keeps his feet moving beyond.
- 16:48Speaker 2: The twenty to the twenty one yard line, picks up
- 16:50Speaker 2: five yards on first down. I'll tell you what for
- 16:53Speaker 2: an offensive line that's come under fire, this USC offensive
- 16:55Speaker 2: line right now doing a good job up front.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Yeah they are. And it's really where you're seeing where
- 16:59Speaker 1: you miss Cole Bishop because and sion I Vake kind
- 17:03Speaker 1: of mixing his time. Those guys are those those outside
- 17:06Speaker 1: players that should be making these tackles.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Here we go, second down in five tempo here for
- 17:10Speaker 2: USC from their own twenty one yard line.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Williams.
- 17:12Speaker 2: This time RPO throw in the flat out there to
- 17:15Speaker 2: Brendan Rice. Brendan Rice is gonna pick up yard and
- 17:17Speaker 2: stays on his feet and gets the first down. They
- 17:20Speaker 2: had him at the line of scrimmage. It couldn't bring
- 17:22Speaker 2: him down and he picks up seven yards in a
- 17:25Speaker 2: first down for USC.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Yeah, Utah did everything right there but make the tackle,
- 17:29Speaker 1: you know. And they're so good at tackling guys without
- 17:32Speaker 1: extra yards.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Tempo again, handoff on first down RPO. They're gonna throw
- 17:36Speaker 2: this one to the tight end. Then he is stacked
- 17:38Speaker 2: up in the line of scrimmage and drop. That's Lake McCree.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Caleb Williams really good hiding that ball on handoffs that time.
- 17:45Speaker 1: They pick up nothing. Second down to ten coming up. Yeah,
- 17:47Speaker 1: that's where Utah. Everyone did their assignment and then they
- 17:50Speaker 1: made the tackle. You know. That's more like how you
- 17:52Speaker 1: see Utah play defense.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Tempo again for USC on second and ten from their
- 17:56Speaker 2: own twenty eight yard line, out of the shotgun, Caleb
- 17:58Speaker 2: Williams five of the line for Utah. Now Caleb's gonna
- 18:02Speaker 2: step up and change the play with Marshawn Lloyd to
- 18:04Speaker 2: the backfield. With it, he'll switch personnel tight end and
- 18:07Speaker 2: wide receiver left and right here Taj Washington now with
- 18:09Speaker 2: the left slot for USC. Play clock at ten. As
- 18:12Speaker 2: he backs up into the gun again, has what he wants. Now,
- 18:16Speaker 2: he'll change it again with the front personnel six at
- 18:18Speaker 2: the line now for Utah. Play CLOCKETT three, play clockett two.
- 18:21Speaker 2: They hand it off to Lloyd. Marshawn Lloyd running room
- 18:24Speaker 2: again beyond the thirty.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Five, stays on his feet after the forty three.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Yard line, fifteen yards from Marshawn Lloyd.
- 18:31Speaker 1: They are gashing the Utah front right now. Yeah, and
- 18:34Speaker 1: there's you know, talk about engaging your guys. No one's
- 18:37Speaker 1: getting off of blocks.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Tempo again, hand off again Lloyd again beyond the forty
- 18:44Speaker 2: five after about the forty seven yard line, gain him
- 18:48Speaker 2: about three and a half almost four yards, So USC
- 18:51Speaker 2: doing what's on USC like right now, that's run of
- 18:53Speaker 2: the football.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Yeah, like for the tune of ninety yards. I mean,
- 18:57Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is thrown for twelve.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Here we go second down in six, Caleb out of
- 19:01Speaker 2: the shotgun, again, He'll throw this time back pedals, lots
- 19:04Speaker 2: of time taking a shot down the field, has a
- 19:07Speaker 2: man out.
- 19:07Speaker 4: There cut at the one yard line.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Taj Washington got behind the defense and a beautiful pass
- 19:17Speaker 2: by Williams.
- 19:17Speaker 1: First and goal USC and that's a great example of
- 19:21Speaker 1: throwing a guy open. You know, he throws it way
- 19:25Speaker 1: down the field where the wide receiver can run under
- 19:27Speaker 1: the ball. Here, just a great throw and a great cat.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Eight miles battled badly first in gold Trojans.
- 19:34Speaker 1: There's the throw game, Lloyd in the ball game.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Williams out of the shotgun, first down, handoff, no rpo
- 19:40Speaker 2: to the outside. Williams stays on his feet, Caleb to
- 19:43Speaker 2: the end zone and stopped it about the two yard line.
- 19:47Speaker 2: They had him again and they didn't get him to
- 19:49Speaker 2: the ground of the five yard line. Jonah Ellis finally
- 19:51Speaker 2: made the tackle on the play second down in goal.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and again it is a pretty good job, you
- 19:56Speaker 1: know by the defense just taking care of everyone right there.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is a tough out rushing rushing and just
- 20:04Speaker 1: you know, guys staying on their feet where they can
- 20:06Speaker 1: still make a play. And I mean it's an excellent play, really.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Here we go second a goal for the two yard line.
- 20:13Speaker 2: Austin Jones of the ball game. Now the Stanford transfer
- 20:16Speaker 2: next to next to Caleb Williams, two receivers right, Caleb
- 20:21Speaker 2: hands it off to Jones.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Jones is stacked up.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Now the end a round all great ball fig and
- 20:27Speaker 2: sack of Riah Branch into the end zone for a touchdown.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Everybody bought the dive play, including me, and they flipped
- 20:33Speaker 2: it back to Branch for an easy walking touchdown and
- 20:36Speaker 2: the Trojans leading here with six seventeen to play in
- 20:38Speaker 2: the first thirteen to seven.
- 20:39Speaker 1: It's almost like that play Oregon State ran a couple
- 20:41Speaker 1: of weeks ago where you just all the action looks like,
- 20:45Speaker 1: you know, sneak up the middle right there, and then
- 20:47Speaker 1: everyone just buys into it, and you know, the forced
- 20:50Speaker 1: guy on the back side has got to be disciplined
- 20:52Speaker 1: and see that coming.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Well, Utah scored first and now usc is answered on
- 20:57Speaker 2: back to back drives Dennis Lynch on to attempt the
- 21:00Speaker 2: pat here for the Trojans kick up and kick good.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Eight plays eighty four yards again, much of it on
- 21:08Speaker 2: the ground, in quitting a big play on the air
- 21:10Speaker 2: to todje Washington and three forty eight off the game
- 21:13Speaker 2: plot six seventeen to play here the first. Now Utah's
- 21:17Speaker 2: playing from behind, the offense will have to answer USC
- 21:20Speaker 2: fourteen and Utahs seven. Well the Big Old Tires Broadcast
- 21:23Speaker 2: booth here at the Coliseum in La fourteen to seven USC.
- 21:28Speaker 2: That's back to back scoring drive slide. That time it
- 21:31Speaker 2: was a mix of running pass.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Yeah, the UC offense looks completely different from what they
- 21:35Speaker 3: looked like last week. I Notre Dame and won. They're
- 21:37Speaker 3: at home, and then when they had a week where
- 21:39Speaker 3: their coach got on their butts and Lincoln Riley said
- 21:41Speaker 3: this week that they're making some changes. They're gonna see
- 21:44Speaker 3: what works at they getting of the game, but they're
- 21:45Speaker 3: ready to adjust it need be. But this offensive line,
- 21:48Speaker 3: they're up tempo, is going extremely well. They're giving Caleb
- 21:51Speaker 3: Williams enough time in the pocket to make decisions to
- 21:53Speaker 3: make that long throw. By what I'm seeing is this defense.
- 21:57Speaker 3: You know, our defense is not running all the way
- 21:59Speaker 3: to the football. Normally, we have three or four guys
- 22:01Speaker 3: around somebody as soon as they catch him, as soon
- 22:03Speaker 3: as they catch the ball and tackle the catch. With
- 22:05Speaker 3: the RBO system, we're not seeing that, and then our
- 22:07Speaker 3: defensive line we're not getting off those initial blocks the
- 22:10Speaker 3: way we're used to seeing defense. So this defense needs
- 22:13Speaker 3: to settle down and refocus and get back in this game.
- 22:17Speaker 1: All right, you tah, we'll have it here.
- 22:18Speaker 2: After the Eddie Chaplinski kickoff right foot into it high
- 22:22Speaker 2: and end over end, Mikey Matthews is gonna take it
- 22:24Speaker 2: at the goal line. He's gonna bring it out again.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Ten to the fifteen, Mikey to the twenty to the outside,
- 22:29Speaker 2: stays on his feet, cuts back to the other side.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Look out twenty five, thirty, thirty five, forty forty five,
- 22:34Speaker 2: fifty Mikey Matthews and in the USC territory and down
- 22:38Speaker 2: at the USC forty six yard line goes Mikey Matthews.
- 22:41Speaker 1: He was pinned to.
- 22:42Speaker 2: The sideline, Scott stayed on his feet, cut it back
- 22:44Speaker 2: across the.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Field for a huge return. Yeah, and some of those
- 22:47Speaker 1: little guys then get lost in a big, a big
- 22:49Speaker 1: crowd of guys there, And just a real heads up
- 22:51Speaker 1: played by Mikey to keep his awareness about him. And
- 22:54Speaker 1: you know he was. He just ran that with some confidence,
- 22:57Speaker 1: and so you know, you kind of tend to have
- 23:00Speaker 1: big plays when guys are are wanting to go make
- 23:02Speaker 1: big plays on those special teams.
- 23:04Speaker 2: First and ten Utah the USC forty seven six to
- 23:06Speaker 2: oh six to play first quarter down fourteen to seven,
- 23:09Speaker 2: empty backfield this time is to Quinton Jackson, motions out
- 23:12Speaker 2: Bryce and Barnes with five targets in the pattern. He'll
- 23:15Speaker 2: backpedal the pass, blitz coming fires to the outside, caught
- 23:18Speaker 2: short game, muddy parks gathered at the end in about
- 23:21Speaker 2: the forty two yard line rigate of about five yards
- 23:24Speaker 2: on first down, maybe they give him six to the
- 23:26Speaker 2: forty one.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Good to see money involved early, Yeah, really good. And
- 23:29Speaker 1: that's these are those you know, high percentage plays on
- 23:31Speaker 1: first down. You know, now you're second and shorter, and
- 23:34Speaker 1: it just gives you so much more manageable. And I
- 23:36Speaker 1: think I think Andy was anticipating that eight man pressure
- 23:41Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage with that throw early.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Second down in five to Gwinna Jackson in the backfield
- 23:45Speaker 2: with Bryce and Barnes, three receivers on the right hand side,
- 23:48Speaker 2: us c crowding the line again. Mikey Matthews in motion
- 23:51Speaker 2: to Qwinna Jackson running it and up ended at the
- 23:53Speaker 2: line of scrimmage.
- 23:54Speaker 1: You'll get a yard. They'll give him the forty one.
- 23:56Speaker 2: That was a good tackle on the play by Eric Gentry,
- 23:58Speaker 2: the will linebacker. Third down at about four coming up
- 24:01Speaker 2: here for Utah.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Yeah, even though it wasn't you know, a big a
- 24:04Speaker 1: big gain. There's just so much you can do when
- 24:07Speaker 1: you get a big gain on first down, you know.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Even so now even though it's third and four, it's
- 24:11Speaker 1: third and very manageable Utah. Oh for one.
- 24:14Speaker 2: On third down, you wonder if you're getting close to
- 24:16Speaker 2: four down territory if they pick up a few yards.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Five minutes to play, first quarter, fourteen to seven USC,
- 24:22Speaker 2: third and four for the sc third forty one yard line.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Barnes under center, strength to the right, Jackson to the
- 24:28Speaker 2: backfield motion man across the formation. They handed again to
- 24:31Speaker 2: Jackson jaquin Din picking his way forward, keeping those heat
- 24:34Speaker 2: moving to the forty yard line, and that's it. USC
- 24:38Speaker 2: stacked him up as he tried to cut back.
- 24:40Speaker 1: That time.
- 24:41Speaker 2: It's fourth down and three now for Utah. Tyron and
- 24:44Speaker 2: Telledy made the tackle. Transfer from Kansas State. Utah's gonna
- 24:50Speaker 2: keep the offense on the field here on fourth and three,
- 24:52Speaker 2: Lebby Vaki checks in.
- 24:53Speaker 1: It looked a little bit different where you know that
- 24:55Speaker 1: it was like that first play the game and Jaquinnin
- 24:57Speaker 1: bounced it outside. It looked like he could have done
- 24:59Speaker 1: that on and.
- 25:00Speaker 2: He did it a little bit earlier. He would have
- 25:01Speaker 2: gotten that first down and he just didn't see it.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Here we go, fourth and three for Utah. I gotta
- 25:05Speaker 2: get to the USC thirty seven Baki of the ball game.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Two receivers left, two receivers right. USC's gonna rush five now.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Baki motions out Barnes to pass throwing outside.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Caught Baki.
- 25:17Speaker 2: He's got first down yardage thirty five and thirty three,
- 25:20Speaker 2: thirty two yard line pitch and catch, first down. Gentry
- 25:23Speaker 2: made the tackle, but a good conversion by the utes,
- 25:26Speaker 2: and you could.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Tell Siani was just a little bit hesitant. He wasn't
- 25:29Speaker 1: totally sure what he was supposed to do there. But
- 25:32Speaker 1: it's a good play, you know, he gets he gets
- 25:34Speaker 1: almost like an option route, you know, if the defenders
- 25:36Speaker 1: are inside, he breaks out, if they're outside, he breaks in.
- 25:39Speaker 1: And just a nice easy read and that again, it
- 25:43Speaker 1: makes it easier when you win on first down catches.
- 25:45Speaker 2: One's a touchdown, ones a first down for the USC
- 25:48Speaker 2: thirty two. Jackson back of the ball game sc again
- 25:51Speaker 2: crowding the line. Two tights and two wides for Utah.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Barnes turns play actions. This time he's gonna take a
- 25:56Speaker 2: shot down the field. He's looking for Velay up the
- 25:58Speaker 2: sideline and he was covered well that time. Was Devon
- 26:01Speaker 2: de Le Devanti Jackson hand him up to the near
- 26:04Speaker 2: sideline with some safety help in the middle of the field.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Let'll be second down. Yeah, that was a tough one
- 26:09Speaker 1: because I'm sorry Devon was like to the inside. He
- 26:13Speaker 1: really should have been more to the to the outside.
- 26:16Speaker 1: So many times when you get press coverage, guys they rushing,
- 26:19Speaker 1: they don't take enough time at the line of scrimmage.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Where he set a guy up to create separation, there's
- 26:24Speaker 1: just no separation to throw the ball.
- 26:27Speaker 2: So second and ten from the SC thirty one three
- 26:30Speaker 2: receivers a tied end to Quindin Jackson to the ball game.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Bards out of the shotgun, sc rushing four hand off
- 26:36Speaker 2: to Quindin thirty twenty five, twenty cuts inside fifteen, stays
- 26:40Speaker 2: on his feet down to the thirteen yard line, goes
- 26:43Speaker 2: to Quindon Jackson.
- 26:45Speaker 1: That's a game of nineteen.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Yards and a first mile first down and in to
- 26:49Speaker 2: the U first Credit Union red zone for the first
- 26:51Speaker 2: time tonight. Or is this coming back.
- 26:54Speaker 5: Sidelight warning USC their first of the game.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Okay, not coming back, It'll be at twelve and that
- 27:02Speaker 2: was an eighteen yard game. Vaki back of the ball
- 27:05Speaker 2: game for Utah. He's onn moving here with three minutes
- 27:09Speaker 2: to play before the fan of the first quarter, trailing
- 27:11Speaker 2: fourteen to seven.
- 27:12Speaker 1: You know, Lincoln Riley, they gave him a sideline warning.
- 27:15Speaker 1: He was down to about the ten yard line, screaming
- 27:17Speaker 1: and yelling at the official.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Barnes and Jalen Glover in the backfield this time three
- 27:24Speaker 2: receivers in the pattern. Sc was six at the line
- 27:27Speaker 2: of scrimmage, high snap. Riceing's gonna keep it himself, Bricing. Nope,
- 27:30Speaker 2: that's Vaki baky to the five yard line. Flags fly.
- 27:34Speaker 2: I don't know if somebody was in motion or if
- 27:35Speaker 2: USC was off side.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Nopeing scoring against Utah. That's a motion penalty. That's really
- 27:41Speaker 1: too bad too, because that was a nice player offense.
- 27:45Speaker 6: Five players in the backfield, five yard penalty.
- 27:48Speaker 5: We played first out of LEAs.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Yeah, the two guys were off the line of scrimmage,
- 27:52Speaker 2: the receivers. That's what cost Utah was Bryce and Barnes
- 27:54Speaker 2: didn't get far enough forward when they split him out.
- 27:58Speaker 2: So first to ten becomes first in fifteen, back of
- 28:00Speaker 2: the seventeen yard line here with two forty five to
- 28:02Speaker 2: play before halftime, fourteen before the end the first quarter,
- 28:06Speaker 2: it feels like halftime.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Those are some of those problems you have when you
- 28:09Speaker 1: get limited time with a guy like Sioni Vaki.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Three on the right, one on the left, Glover in
- 28:15Speaker 2: the backfield, Mikey Matthews in motion. Glover's got it straight ahead.
- 28:19Speaker 2: Jalen inside the ten to the nine yard line goes
- 28:21Speaker 2: jailing Glover. They'll say, knee down at the ten, pick
- 28:24Speaker 2: up of seven. It's a good run on first down.
- 28:26Speaker 2: That's kind of money in the bank right there, Scott.
- 28:27Speaker 2: Second down at about six coming.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Up, it is, and you know the pretty consistently Utah
- 28:32Speaker 1: has been able to do that, you know, running that ball.
- 28:34Speaker 1: It's almost the inside the tackles is where where they've
- 28:38Speaker 1: had most of their success.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Talented freshman linebacker Tackett Curtis made the tackle second Dan.
- 28:43Speaker 2: We'll call it about seven here for Utah. Four receivers
- 28:47Speaker 2: in the pattern. Now Glover splits wide to the right
- 28:49Speaker 2: hand side, the play clock at thirteen plenty of time,
- 28:52Speaker 2: Barns alone in the shotgun. Bryson takes the Snap's gonna
- 28:55Speaker 2: keep it himself straight ahead, Bryson into the end zone.
- 28:58Speaker 1: That's a touchdown.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Touch to the two high steps in and Utah pat
- 29:03Speaker 2: away from level in this game here late in the
- 29:06Speaker 2: first quarter. Great call, great blocking up front by the
- 29:09Speaker 2: Utah oh block, So.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Bill, that's a math problem right there. It's a simple
- 29:13Speaker 1: math problem. So you just just take everyone out of
- 29:16Speaker 1: the backfield, and if they'd leave one guy in the
- 29:18Speaker 1: middle of the field, you run it. If they put
- 29:20Speaker 1: two guys on defense, then you you don't. And so
- 29:23Speaker 1: USC had one guy there, they basically are out man.
- 29:26Speaker 1: It's it's almost a touchdown by defensive formation. Great call,
- 29:30Speaker 1: pat up, pat good.
- 29:33Speaker 2: And with a minute fifty four to play here the
- 29:35Speaker 2: first quarter, we've got twenty eight points on the board
- 29:38Speaker 2: here at the coliseum. That's a good answer by the
- 29:40Speaker 2: Utah offense. Eight plays, forty seven yards, all of it
- 29:43Speaker 2: set up by the great kick return by Mikey Matthews.
- 29:46Speaker 2: And with a minute fifty four to play here the
- 29:47Speaker 2: first a time out on the field. Utah fourteen and
- 29:51Speaker 2: USC fourteen. Down to slide for a sideline update slide.
- 29:56Speaker 3: How about that drive, beautiful under control offensive drive, this offense.
- 30:01Speaker 3: I love the play calling by Handy Ludwig. The running
- 30:03Speaker 3: plays that aren't working for Utah is the side to
- 30:05Speaker 3: sided plays. It seems like USC can't handle you going
- 30:09Speaker 3: straight at him. And that's what works was whether it's
- 30:11Speaker 3: the quarterback run, the wildcat or to Quinnon Jackson going
- 30:14Speaker 3: straight downhill at it. Even Jalen Glover got in on
- 30:17Speaker 3: that drive. But the running game, which is Utah's foundation,
- 30:20Speaker 3: seemed to reign supreme on that drive and looks like
- 30:22Speaker 3: a focal point going forward.
- 30:24Speaker 2: We'll get to Andy's play calling in a minute. Chase
- 30:27Speaker 2: Carter said, to kick this thing off again. Beware USC
- 30:30Speaker 2: brings most of them out. Zachariah Branch is a talent,
- 30:34Speaker 2: the man who returns of the freshman who's brother Zion
- 30:37Speaker 2: is a starting safety for this football team. Chase Carter's
- 30:40Speaker 2: got a teed up here at his own thirty five
- 30:43Speaker 2: yard line. Branch stands in his one yard line. Fourteen fourteen,
- 30:47Speaker 2: minute fifty four to play here the first high and
- 30:50Speaker 2: end over end returnable. If Branch wants to, he will
- 30:52Speaker 2: for the two. Zachariah Branch to the ten Zachariah Branch
- 30:55Speaker 2: to the fifteen twenty twenty five yard line, a twenty
- 30:59Speaker 2: three yard re turn for Branch, who is electric when
- 31:02Speaker 2: he touches the football. Scott, just a quick thought on
- 31:04Speaker 2: that Andy Lugwig play call so far here.
- 31:07Speaker 1: At the ball game. Yeah, what's been impressive is, you know,
- 31:09Speaker 1: he's clearly dialed into USC's defense, but running ahead, they
- 31:13Speaker 1: still have it, you know, eight guys at the line
- 31:15Speaker 1: of scrimmage, but they're still effectively running it. You know,
- 31:18Speaker 1: he's done a great job of just you know, mixing
- 31:20Speaker 1: up the pass and the run and taking what us
- 31:23Speaker 1: he's given them, and they Utah's winning. On first down.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Here we go first and ten.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and the Trojans for their own twenty five
- 31:29Speaker 2: Marshawn Lloyd to the backfield. Will they continue to run
- 31:32Speaker 2: on Utah. Utah's got five and six near the line
- 31:34Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Three wide receivers spread the field here for
- 31:37Speaker 2: the Trojans. On first down, Williams will hand off to
- 31:43Speaker 2: Lloyd and this time Lloyd is stacked up after a
- 31:46Speaker 2: short gain on the right side of that line of scrimmage.
- 31:49Speaker 2: He's strong though. He broke out of the initial tackle
- 31:51Speaker 2: right at the line and Lander Barton cleaned it up.
- 31:53Speaker 2: After a game of about two.
- 31:54Speaker 5: And a half.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Yeah, generous spot, but much better read. And you know
- 31:58Speaker 1: what USC's doing. They're just saying, we're not gonna to
- 32:00Speaker 1: expose Caleb Williams. All the passes are thrown, are short
- 32:03Speaker 1: and are gonna run quick.
- 32:04Speaker 2: Here we go Williams to pass on second down and
- 32:07Speaker 2: short throws it in the flat. It's complete there and
- 32:11Speaker 2: stacked up short of first down yardage.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Marshaun Lloyd.
- 32:14Speaker 2: He picked up about we call it about five and
- 32:16Speaker 2: a half. It'll be third down and two here for
- 32:18Speaker 2: the Trojans as we come up on a minute to
- 32:20Speaker 2: play here in the first quarter.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Well, this is that important down we talked about in
- 32:23Speaker 1: the pregame, and USC has done a really good job.
- 32:26Speaker 1: You know, look for probably one of those bubble screens
- 32:29Speaker 1: or Caleb Williams using his feet to succeed here.
- 32:32Speaker 2: You saw the best third down defense in the country.
- 32:34Speaker 2: USC one for one on third here today. Nobody in
- 32:37Speaker 2: the backfield. Here it'll be all Caleb Williams, five wide
- 32:40Speaker 2: receivers in the pattern. On third down and two from
- 32:43Speaker 2: the USC twenty eight, Williams stands alone Utah with fourth
- 32:48Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. Caleb changing the play now with
- 32:53Speaker 2: three on the play clock, two on the play clock,
- 32:55Speaker 2: one on the play clock takes the snap and flags
- 32:57Speaker 2: fly and a time out taken by Lincoln Riley.
- 33:00Speaker 6: First charge time outs USC USC.
- 33:04Speaker 1: So what happens is is USC they sub right and automatically.
- 33:10Speaker 1: You taught the subs as well, but they sub kind
- 33:13Speaker 1: of slow, Like you get a big old lineman who
- 33:17Speaker 1: waddles out onto the field and then another one waddles off,
- 33:20Speaker 1: and then it just and you have to let him
- 33:23Speaker 1: sup a. It's a strategy and his design, and then
- 33:26Speaker 1: you're either gonna get into the lay of game or
- 33:29Speaker 1: you have to call timeout.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Speaking of subs, Jersey Mike's a sub above because they
- 33:32Speaker 2: use authentic ingredients. Great supporters of Utah football, Jersey Mike's
- 33:37Speaker 2: a sub above. Thirty one seconds, third and two thirty
- 33:40Speaker 2: one to play in the first quarter, third and two
- 33:42Speaker 2: for the Trojans at their own twenty eight.
- 33:44Speaker 1: This would be a big stop if you talk could
- 33:46Speaker 1: get it right here, Scott. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised
- 33:48Speaker 1: to see, you know, one of those bubble screens or
- 33:50Speaker 1: maybe that rpo you know where you have three options
- 33:54Speaker 1: there where Caleb Williams run throw or he can actually
- 33:57Speaker 1: run the ball.
- 33:57Speaker 2: And five wide receivers in the pattern to again here
- 34:00Speaker 2: for Caleb Williams on third and two, nobody in the
- 34:02Speaker 2: backfield with him. Utah with a four down line. Look
- 34:05Speaker 2: now they move the linebackers back, Williams surveys the defense
- 34:09Speaker 2: checks with the sideline. He'll keep the play. He has
- 34:11Speaker 2: third down and two, Williams to pass. He's gonna keep
- 34:14Speaker 2: it himself straight ahead and he will not get there.
- 34:17Speaker 1: He'll be a yard shy.
- 34:19Speaker 2: They finally ran him on a quarterback keeper and he
- 34:21Speaker 2: comes up a yard shin of be fourth and one.
- 34:24Speaker 1: What's Lincoln Riley do here?
- 34:25Speaker 2: He's gonna send the punt team out, not gonna take
- 34:28Speaker 2: a chance, and they'll probably let this thing run down
- 34:30Speaker 2: to the end of the first quarter.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and a really nice job by Utah. There it's
- 34:34Speaker 1: again it's that same math problem where Bryce and Barnes,
- 34:37Speaker 1: you know, ran the touchdown, but Utah just did a
- 34:40Speaker 1: great job of actually getting to Caleb and it was
- 34:43Speaker 1: a defensive tackles that did a nice job.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Now they're moving around all sorts of movement and that'll
- 34:48Speaker 2: take us to the end of the first quarter.
- 34:50Speaker 5: That was the end of the first.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Quarter quarter and that's our referee, Mike McCabe telling us
- 34:55Speaker 2: exactly what I just told you. It's good to be
- 34:58Speaker 2: reinforced on that. In case you didn't try for us.
- 35:00Speaker 2: End of one here at the La Memorial Coliseum. It's
- 35:03Speaker 2: a good one so far. Entertaining football on a Saturday night,
- 35:06Speaker 2: Utah fourteen and USC fourteen. We're back to Southern California
- 35:11Speaker 2: the Big O' Tires broadcast booth.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Next, this is Utah football from Learfield.
- 35:16Speaker 2: We head to the second quarter here in La sun
- 35:19Speaker 2: set into the West on a beautiful day in Southern California.
- 35:22Speaker 2: First quarter numbers USC one hundred and sixty eight yards,
- 35:25Speaker 2: Utah one hundred and thirty three. Utah threw for sixty
- 35:28Speaker 2: seven barns with three to five for sixty seven and
- 35:30Speaker 2: a touchdown.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Caleb Williams threw for sixty eight.
- 35:33Speaker 2: USC actually ran for one hundred yards of the first quarter.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Utah sixty six, sc ran sixteen Utah ran fourteen plays,
- 35:40Speaker 2: and that's where we sit right now. So Utah, well,
- 35:43Speaker 2: now we'll see if they get a punt.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Well, they did a much better job there Utah's defense
- 35:49Speaker 1: on those counters and stopping those early down rushes, because
- 35:52Speaker 1: that was the difference, or you know, just they gassed
- 35:55Speaker 1: Utah on these counterplays and just seemed that Utah was
- 35:58Speaker 1: slow to read it, slow to react to it. But
- 36:01Speaker 1: feels like the defense is kind of tightened up a
- 36:04Speaker 1: little bit. I'm just you know, it's it's an interesting
- 36:07Speaker 1: strategy with Lincoln and it's almost like he's protecting Caleb.
- 36:10Speaker 1: You know, he's not letting him drop back and hold
- 36:13Speaker 1: the ball in the pocket for any amount of time.
- 36:15Speaker 1: It's all the throws have been passed, they've been off
- 36:18Speaker 1: of or been quick and that you know, whether it's
- 36:20Speaker 1: a bubble screen or a run pass option. And it's
- 36:24Speaker 1: not been a lot of you know, other than the
- 36:26Speaker 1: one just you know, big throw down in the middle,
- 36:28Speaker 1: and I think they're just having a lot of respect
- 36:31Speaker 1: for Utah's front, just not letting him tee off on
- 36:34Speaker 1: these offensive linemen.
- 36:35Speaker 2: You big shout out to Big Bill Riley listening it
- 36:38Speaker 2: in Kansas City tonight. Big Bill will be with us
- 36:40Speaker 2: in the booth next week, Fellas, he'll be out for
- 36:42Speaker 2: the Oregon game. He's looking forward to seeing Scott and
- 36:44Speaker 2: Dave and Matt, the Loonzo and Sly in our entire crew.
- 36:48Speaker 2: So Dad, thanks for tuning in tonight. Dad said, you
- 36:50Speaker 2: sound exceptionally good tonight, Scott.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Oh, well tell him thank you. You can tell him
- 36:54Speaker 1: right now, Bill Senior, thank you so much. I can't
- 36:57Speaker 1: wait to see you next week.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Like man, fuse back to receive this Eddie Chaplinsky punt Chaplinsky.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Of course, guy that played elsewhere before coming to us,
- 37:08Speaker 2: see one of the many transfers on this team.
- 37:10Speaker 1: He's gonna kick it straight away. It's a pretty good kick, Mike.
- 37:13Speaker 2: He's gonna fair catch it, looks up into the night
- 37:15Speaker 2: sky and takes it at about the nineteen yard line,
- 37:17Speaker 2: and that's where Utah will take over first and ten
- 37:20Speaker 2: with an eighty one yard field in front of him
- 37:21Speaker 2: right here.
- 37:22Speaker 1: I gotta believe if I'm someone like Mikey Matthews, you
- 37:24Speaker 1: know where you're not touching the ball a lot offensively,
- 37:27Speaker 1: You're still in the game because you're doing all those,
- 37:29Speaker 1: you know, and he had the big runs and all
- 37:31Speaker 1: that stuff, so you know, look for him to give
- 37:34Speaker 1: you maybe an explosive electric play here in the near future.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Here on offense, all right, they make mark him at
- 37:40Speaker 1: the twenty So an eighty yard deal here for Bryson
- 37:42Speaker 1: Barnes to Gwindon Jackson the back of the ball game
- 37:46Speaker 1: Money Parks splits wide to the right receivers and tight
- 37:49Speaker 1: ends on the left as well.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Usc with five near the lines, soho get the wranga
- 37:52Speaker 2: in motion now they bring Vailey in motion across the formation.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Bryce and Barnes hands it off to Gwindon Jackson into
- 37:59Speaker 2: the hole, keeps his feet, keeps those legs pumping. It
- 38:02Speaker 2: picks up about two and a half yards, almost three
- 38:05Speaker 2: to the twenty three yard like Bryce and Shaw. The
- 38:07Speaker 2: free safety came up and filled the whole nicely that day,
- 38:09Speaker 2: almost like bright Quindon slipped on that didn't.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Yeah, he kind of bumped into a lineman because there
- 38:13Speaker 1: was an opening back to the backside of the play.
- 38:18Speaker 1: He hits that more clean. He probably gets five or
- 38:20Speaker 1: six yards, but it kind of slowed him down.
- 38:21Speaker 2: No second down, we'll call it about seven now, As
- 38:24Speaker 2: Barnes backs into the shotgun, jaquin didn with it. Three
- 38:27Speaker 2: pass catchers on the right hand side, one on the
- 38:29Speaker 2: left took at the wrong of the tight end comes
- 38:31Speaker 2: in tight s he crowding the lines. Here they go
- 38:35Speaker 2: hand off again jaquindon Jackson. Not much there for JJ.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Buries his head picks up two to the twenty five.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Bryce and Shaw again on the tackle. So third down
- 38:45Speaker 2: and five coming up here for Utah. They're zero for
- 38:47Speaker 2: two on third down so far here tonight. This is
- 38:50Speaker 2: kind of a big third downs guy.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Ending.
- 38:52Speaker 2: You don't want to go three and out right away
- 38:54Speaker 2: and put Caleb Williams right back out on the field.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Now, you really don't. And what's been surprising, there's been
- 38:58Speaker 1: a lot of shifting in motion with Utah early trying
- 39:01Speaker 1: to create a crease here on this defense. But you know,
- 39:05Speaker 1: I don't think Cioni's in there this time. But look
- 39:08Speaker 1: look for Devon Bailey.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Here we go, four receivers in the pattern on third
- 39:13Speaker 2: down and five. Barnes to pass looking surveying, throwing, caught
- 39:16Speaker 2: Vley out across the thirty five to the thirty eight
- 39:19Speaker 2: yard line. Now thirty nine. That's a big pitch. And
- 39:23Speaker 2: catch of fourteen yards of the first mile first down.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Yeah, it's beautiful on all fronts. I mean Devon the
- 39:29Speaker 1: reason I said, you know, he's your most senior guy.
- 39:32Speaker 1: In those clutch moments, you want to see him. But
- 39:34Speaker 1: it was a nice job by Bryce and holding just
- 39:36Speaker 1: a little bit to let the second window where Devon
- 39:39Speaker 1: could get open.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Here we go, empty backfield this time five in the pattern.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Let's see if they bring JJ back in. They do
- 39:45Speaker 2: three wide to the right hand side on first and
- 39:47Speaker 2: tent of the Utah thirty nine. Barnes of the shotgun.
- 39:49Speaker 2: He'll pass it again. Lots of time, lots of time,
- 39:52Speaker 2: lots of time. Now he's gonna scramble it be sacked
- 39:55Speaker 2: all the way back of the twenty five yard line. Oh, Bryce,
- 39:58Speaker 2: and you've gotta feel the pressure.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Get rid of that football.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Romelo Height made the tackle and that's a loss of fourteen.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've now got USC back in their passing defense.
- 40:09Speaker 1: You know, it would have been better to actually run
- 40:12Speaker 1: because they just did a nice job. It was one
- 40:14Speaker 1: of those you got to it's a three level throw
- 40:16Speaker 1: and USC just did a nice job covering it. And
- 40:19Speaker 1: it was late developing and Bryce and again he's got
- 40:22Speaker 1: to learn to step up into the pocket and not
- 40:25Speaker 1: run out to the right. It's his bailout move, and
- 40:27Speaker 1: he's got to get away from him.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Second in twenty two, back of the twenty seven barns
- 40:31Speaker 2: of the shotgun, motion across the formation, hand off, straight ahead,
- 40:36Speaker 2: nothing predictable call that time, and JJ went nowhere, lost
- 40:41Speaker 2: two to twenty five. Third, really long coming up.
- 40:44Speaker 1: You know you have second in a boat load. It's like,
- 40:48Speaker 1: you know, second and ten is one thing, but you've
- 40:50Speaker 1: got to get more than four or five yards on
- 40:54Speaker 1: that second down. If you're gonna have any chance of converting,
- 40:56Speaker 1: you've got to throw the ball. You got to throw
- 40:57Speaker 1: the ball down the field.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Third and twenty four, they've got to get to the
- 41:02Speaker 2: Utah forty nine for a first down. I'd say screen here, Scott,
- 41:06Speaker 2: but Utah is not great.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Bruin screens in US. He's not a great rush team either.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Four receivers three on the left hand side US. He's
- 41:13Speaker 2: gonna rush four here. It's just gonna be a straight
- 41:15Speaker 2: ahead handoff Jackson ja Quinton actually ran.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Into the tackler. What was he doing?
- 41:21Speaker 2: I mean he literally ran, He turned and ran right
- 41:23Speaker 2: into it picked up six to the thirty one, but
- 41:25Speaker 2: if he keeps going straight ahead, he's got another ten yards.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure, you know, it's I'm not sure
- 41:31Speaker 1: how comfortable ja Quindin really is at this point in
- 41:34Speaker 1: the season. He's been out a lot, you know, he's
- 41:36Speaker 1: just kind of not totally seeing things how they are,
- 41:39Speaker 1: and I wonder if being injured it makes him be
- 41:41Speaker 1: a little bit more tentative than he normally has been.
- 41:44Speaker 2: USC looks like they're gonna come after this one. They
- 41:46Speaker 2: do kick us away by Bowmester. It's a dandy Zachariah
- 41:50Speaker 2: Branch looking up. He'll fare catch it back in the
- 41:52Speaker 2: twenty four yard line. Not very confident in that catch,
- 41:55Speaker 2: bobbled it a bit, but came up with it. Forty
- 41:59Speaker 2: four yard punt, no turn, and USC will have it
- 42:01Speaker 2: first intend at their own twenty five. When we get back,
- 42:04Speaker 2: Utah fourteen and USC fourteen, ten fifty seven to play
- 42:09Speaker 2: of the first half. Bill Riley, Scott, Mitchell Stevenson Sylvester
- 42:12Speaker 2: with you here at the Colisee, ten fifty seven to
- 42:14Speaker 2: play in the first half fourteen to fourteen. USC comes
- 42:18Speaker 2: out with a seventy five yard field first intent for
- 42:21Speaker 2: their own twenty five yard line. We'll see what Cayleb Williams,
- 42:24Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley and the Trojans have dialed up here on
- 42:27Speaker 2: first down in ten.
- 42:29Speaker 1: Gotta believe you're gonna see that counter again because that
- 42:31Speaker 1: was a big play for USC. Four receivers in the pattern.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Marshawn Lloyd, the South Carolina transfer of the backfield. He's
- 42:38Speaker 2: run well here early, got a big touchdown, run early,
- 42:41Speaker 2: first score of the game for USC. Caleb out of
- 42:43Speaker 2: the shotgun, He'll drap pedal to pass. Lots of time,
- 42:45Speaker 2: screen pass thrown in the flat.
- 42:47Speaker 4: Lloyd's got it, drops it and the balls lose Who's
- 42:50Speaker 4: got it? Utass says they've got it? You Tass got
- 42:53Speaker 4: the football at the fifteen. It's a Utah scoop.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Do they have it or are they gonna call this
- 42:59Speaker 1: in fleet? Let's see wall on the field.
- 43:02Speaker 5: Is it fumble and recovery by the defense.
- 43:06Speaker 1: It's Utah football.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Marshaun Lloyd had it and then he just dropped it
- 43:10Speaker 2: in the flat. Had it caught, run, run, run, there
- 43:13Speaker 2: it goes and Utah came up with it. It's Utah football.
- 43:18Speaker 2: First intendant the Trojan twenty two yard line. What a break,
- 43:23Speaker 2: What a big play by the defense. Jonah Ellis was
- 43:26Speaker 2: there to fall on it for Utah. Cildi Baki of
- 43:28Speaker 2: the ball game, now for Utah, and now they're gonna
- 43:31Speaker 2: review it.
- 43:31Speaker 1: It might get reviewed. He might have been looking. Let's
- 43:34Speaker 1: see he catches it.
- 43:35Speaker 5: It looks like we on the field, fumble and recovered
- 43:38Speaker 5: by the minutes.
- 43:38Speaker 3: I don't know the previous.
- 43:39Speaker 5: Play he was under review.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Okay, here we go catch two hands. There he goes
- 43:45Speaker 1: one two and then he drops it right there. That's
- 43:49Speaker 1: a fumble. I think that's a fumble. Yew. But then again,
- 43:53Speaker 1: we don't know anything.
- 43:53Speaker 2: We don't know anything in this booth Our Reviews brought
- 43:56Speaker 2: to you by Barbasol.
- 43:58Speaker 1: One to then it starts slipping.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Feeling great starts with a shave, and the great shape
- 44:04Speaker 2: starts with paupers and barbiesas shaving creek. Whatever your day
- 44:07Speaker 2: brings chwos Barbasols can it can't do.
- 44:10Speaker 1: So what do you think? Dave says? Incomplete? What do
- 44:14Speaker 1: you say, Scott? I say it's complete. Okay, I think
- 44:17Speaker 1: he catches well. Roblz always calls for anything that favors Utah,
- 44:20Speaker 1: so he has control one two and then he loses
- 44:25Speaker 1: it right there.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a catch and a fumble. The
- 44:30Speaker 2: defense is going back out on the field here for Utah.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Though.
- 44:34Speaker 5: After reviews to turn in that it was.
- 44:37Speaker 6: Incomplete pass on a play it the second guy.
- 44:42Speaker 1: It's close, Yeah, it was close.
- 44:48Speaker 2: It'll be second down at ten a little beit a
- 44:50Speaker 2: huge break for Utah. Instead, they're gonna have to come
- 44:53Speaker 2: after Kimp.
- 44:54Speaker 5: Please restore the game block to ten fifty two.
- 44:57Speaker 1: But that's part of that theme throw screen passes against Utah.
- 45:01Speaker 1: They're not gonna let that defensive rush get to Caleb Williams.
- 45:06Speaker 2: Second down in ten, Austin Jones in Marshawn Lloyd out
- 45:12Speaker 2: three tie to three receivers in a tight end for Williams,
- 45:14Speaker 2: who operates out of the shotgun. He'll backpedal to pass
- 45:18Speaker 2: pass rush coming fires to the outside. It's caught by
- 45:20Speaker 2: Brendan Rice first down, yardage eleven yards and out of
- 45:23Speaker 2: bounds to the USC thirty six yard line, forced out
- 45:27Speaker 2: by JT.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Brdt. He just gave too much rooms. Yeah, and you're
- 45:30Speaker 1: just gonna see this. You know, you're gonna get a
- 45:31Speaker 1: lot of one on one opportunities with these wide receivers
- 45:34Speaker 1: and dbs. Can you make a play here?
- 45:36Speaker 2: We go tempo here for USC on first and ten.
- 45:40Speaker 2: They gotta hand it off to Lloyd and Lloyd's not
- 45:42Speaker 2: gonna go anywhere. Actually, Austin Jones not gonna go anywhere.
- 45:44Speaker 2: He'll be stacked up in the line of scrimmage and
- 45:46Speaker 2: drop right there. Van Fillinger makes a nice tackle. That'll
- 45:50Speaker 2: be second down in ten.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Yeah, and they've shared that upfront, but I mean that
- 45:53Speaker 1: was just his own play. The counter is the one
- 45:55Speaker 1: that's really hurt Utah.
- 45:56Speaker 2: Second down in ten, Williams out of the shotgun, quick
- 45:59Speaker 2: tempo again, pass again into the flat. He throws it incompletes.
- 46:03Speaker 2: It was a great job by Fillinger. He got right
- 46:05Speaker 2: in the passing lane, got his arms up and Williams
- 46:07Speaker 2: had nowhere to go with it.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Threw it incomplete. Third down coming up. Yeah, and that's
- 46:10Speaker 1: a tough one because they showed the counteraction like it
- 46:12Speaker 1: looks like run, but they're throwing a quick screen away
- 46:16Speaker 1: from the counter there and Utah really smelled it out nicely.
- 46:19Speaker 2: Sc one out of two on third down. They were
- 46:21Speaker 2: stopped last time out of the gun, changing the play
- 46:29Speaker 2: as Caleb Williams. Two receivers to the right hand side,
- 46:31Speaker 2: one to the left. Utah showing pressure. Now he's going
- 46:35Speaker 2: to change the play. Well, Utah back out of their pressure.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Austin Jones the back of the backfield. Play clock at
- 46:40Speaker 2: five here for Williams takes the snap in back pedals,
- 46:44Speaker 2: four man rush for Utah. Can they get home? He
- 46:46Speaker 2: throws over the middle behind his man and incomplete. Oh,
- 46:49Speaker 2: he was trying to squeeze it in that time to
- 46:52Speaker 2: Kyron Hudson. He threw it behind him it incomplete. The
- 46:55Speaker 2: rush was about to get home.
- 46:57Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was a nice cat and mouse game
- 46:58Speaker 1: there between Do you have a safety in the middle
- 47:01Speaker 1: of the field or is the middle of the field open?
- 47:03Speaker 1: And he changed He's changing the play based on that.
- 47:05Speaker 5: Look for usc is now where you have a forty five.
- 47:08Speaker 2: So Utah's defense doesn't get the turnover, but they do
- 47:10Speaker 2: get a three and out and Mikey Matthews will stand
- 47:13Speaker 2: at his own twenty yard line to return this kick
- 47:18Speaker 2: from Eddie Chaplinsky. Another good kick by Chaplinsky, backing Matthews up.
- 47:22Speaker 2: Mikey's gonna take it about the sixteen go straight ahead,
- 47:25Speaker 2: Mikey Matthews to.
- 47:26Speaker 1: The twenty and to the twenty one.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Yard line short return on a good punt by Chaplinsky
- 47:31Speaker 2: in a time out on the field with nine fifty
- 47:33Speaker 2: nine to play, fifty yard punt seven yard return fourteen fourteen,
- 47:38Speaker 2: midway through the second quarter here at the coliseum, sun
- 47:44Speaker 2: setting on a Saturday night. Here in southern California, Utah
- 47:47Speaker 2: fourteen and USC fourteen, Bill Riley, Scott mitchellin Crewe. Here
- 47:51Speaker 2: at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Utah has got a first
- 47:53Speaker 2: intend at their own twenty our first spats out of
- 47:55Speaker 2: the night, Scott, are you ready?
- 47:57Speaker 1: Are you sitting down? I'm ready for this US the
- 47:59Speaker 1: other there's.
- 48:00Speaker 2: Two drives thirteen plays, one hundred and fifty nine yards.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Their last two drives eight plays twenty yards.
- 48:06Speaker 1: A little bit like last year.
- 48:07Speaker 2: Remember they got off the quick starts offensively last year
- 48:10Speaker 2: and Utah slowly got into it. We'll see what happens here,
- 48:13Speaker 2: but YEAHA feels a little more dialed in.
- 48:15Speaker 1: You know, you know you're gonna get that surge at
- 48:17Speaker 1: the beginning of game. They're home, they want to look good,
- 48:20Speaker 1: they want to come off a loss, and so if
- 48:22Speaker 1: you can weather that early surge from a team and
- 48:25Speaker 1: you kind of get into the flow of the game.
- 48:26Speaker 1: It kind of changes things. It's not totally surprising to
- 48:30Speaker 1: me that that that status happened.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Two tights and two wides for Utah on first intent
- 48:35Speaker 2: with their own twenty USC substituting laid here Seo Evaki
- 48:39Speaker 2: the back of the backfield right now with Bryce and
- 48:41Speaker 2: Barnes sc with a five man front here on first intent,
- 48:47Speaker 2: you near McClain, motions in and motions out now a
- 48:50Speaker 2: handoff on first down, Ceo Evaki picks his way forward
- 48:53Speaker 2: and picks up three and a half almost four yards
- 48:56Speaker 2: out near the twenty nine yard line, like he had
- 48:59Speaker 2: a chance to get a little bit more, but USC
- 49:01Speaker 2: closed out pretty quick with the middle linebacker Shane Lee.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was it was kind of like a
- 49:05Speaker 1: counter for Utah and it just seemed to take a
- 49:08Speaker 1: few minutes to get going. You know, if he could
- 49:09Speaker 1: have hit that hole a lot quicker, he might have
- 49:11Speaker 1: gotten a lot more out of it. And it's it's
- 49:13Speaker 1: a decent, you know, gain on first down, but it
- 49:15Speaker 1: should have been more so.
- 49:17Speaker 2: A second down at almost six to go here for
- 49:19Speaker 2: Utah's we come up on nine and a half to
- 49:21Speaker 2: play in the first half, fourteen to fourteen our score.
- 49:24Speaker 2: Baki stays in the game, three receivers and Barns will
- 49:26Speaker 2: pass here. Rice and throwing over the middle, caught juggled
- 49:30Speaker 2: and first down yard he's thirty five, forty forty five,
- 49:32Speaker 2: still on his feet fifty Baki forty and out of bounds.
- 49:35Speaker 1: But a flag is down and who's just going to
- 49:37Speaker 1: be against I have no idea because no one was
- 49:40Speaker 1: really there, and it was from the it was from
- 49:42Speaker 1: the backfield. It was this strange call.
- 49:45Speaker 2: I was it a blockdown field by somebody on Utah.
- 49:48Speaker 2: We'll see what this flag is, but it feels like
- 49:50Speaker 2: it's coming back right now.
- 49:52Speaker 1: I don't know who it's on or what it's on. It.
- 49:54Speaker 1: It makes no sense. There's no one there.
- 49:56Speaker 5: Personal fouls.
- 49:57Speaker 6: You think a blindside block number one oh, fifteen yard tell.
- 50:03Speaker 5: Aught to not at first down?
- 50:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see Maddy Jackson got that. I didn't
- 50:07Speaker 1: see anyone offensively do that. That was a strange play.
- 50:10Speaker 2: So attacked fifteen on to the end of that run.
- 50:12Speaker 2: You t all have it first and ten right near
- 50:14Speaker 2: the USC twenty five yard line. After that great run
- 50:17Speaker 2: by sie Ony Vaki.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Yeah, how fun is that to bring him out of
- 50:20Speaker 1: the backfield and run an option round like that.
- 50:22Speaker 2: He's got three catches. He starting near got one hundred
- 50:24Speaker 2: yards here today. That's thirty six right there. Let's check
- 50:28Speaker 2: the numbers on Vaki right now, Baki's got ninety eight
- 50:31Speaker 2: yards on three catches and a touchdown if Utah's got
- 50:34Speaker 2: it first intend at the twenty five of USC.
- 50:36Speaker 1: He's kind of limping on the sideline. I hope, I'm
- 50:38Speaker 1: just maybe he's just resting. I don't know, but wow,
- 50:41Speaker 1: I'd like to throw the ball to him.
- 50:43Speaker 2: Three receivers a tight end to Quinn to Jackson in
- 50:45Speaker 2: the ballgame, Barnes first and ten hand off JJ outside. No,
- 50:49Speaker 2: Barnes keeps it himself. That's Jalen Glover or was that Barnes.
- 50:54Speaker 2: Barnes on the run, quarterback keeper off the right side,
- 50:57Speaker 2: picks up about six yards on first down to the nineteen.
- 51:00Speaker 1: And a good read. You know, Bryson hasn't really shown
- 51:02Speaker 1: an ability or a willingness to keep that ball, and
- 51:07Speaker 1: there might have been a couple of times when they
- 51:09Speaker 1: run that zone read that he should have kept it.
- 51:11Speaker 1: And it's good to see that he is.
- 51:14Speaker 2: They'll say five to the twenty right on the edge
- 51:16Speaker 2: of the U first Credit Union red zone. Two receivers right,
- 51:20Speaker 2: one to the left, Jackson to the backfield, throw pass
- 51:24Speaker 2: down the field, contested, ball up and incomplete. They tried
- 51:27Speaker 2: to get that ball to Devon Vley. Really good coverage,
- 51:30Speaker 2: almost a heck of a catch by Valley at the pylon.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Incomplete. Third down and five. Just it's got to be
- 51:35Speaker 1: located better. You know, the ball's got to be to
- 51:37Speaker 1: the outside. You can't throw it right at the DB's
- 51:40Speaker 1: head because you can make it. But if you throw
- 51:43Speaker 1: it to the outside, you got a shot. Well, Vaki's
- 51:46Speaker 1: back of the ball. Game on third and five, you
- 51:49Speaker 1: thaw one out of four.
- 51:50Speaker 2: On third down, you gotta get to the USC fifteen
- 51:53Speaker 2: yard line. Baki in the backfield with Barnes trips to
- 51:56Speaker 2: the left hand side hand off, Baki picks his way forward.
- 52:01Speaker 1: He gets to the sixteen, he'll be a yard shot.
- 52:03Speaker 1: He'll be fourth and one.
- 52:04Speaker 2: What does Kyle Whittingham do here, He's got a chip
- 52:07Speaker 2: shot field goal if he wants it. He's gonna keep
- 52:09Speaker 2: the offense out on fourth and one.
- 52:11Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's bringing in the big boys. Here. You
- 52:13Speaker 1: gotta believe this might be as Oh no, Sioni's coming
- 52:16Speaker 1: out of the game. I thought maybe you'd do a
- 52:17Speaker 1: little wildcat here with Cion.
- 52:19Speaker 2: So Gwindon Jackson comes in the ball game. It's actually
- 52:21Speaker 2: a yard and a half is it about the sixteen
- 52:23Speaker 2: and a half yard line.
- 52:24Speaker 1: It's a big call here by Kyle Whittingham.
- 52:27Speaker 2: Fourth down Jackson in the ball game, strength to the
- 52:30Speaker 2: right hand side. USC will crowd the line now they
- 52:33Speaker 2: empty the backfield Rice and Barnes by himself. They motioned
- 52:37Speaker 2: to Gwindon Jackson across Barnes picks it forward.
- 52:40Speaker 1: He didn't get there.
- 52:41Speaker 2: He got stopped a yard shy and Utah instead of
- 52:46Speaker 2: taking the lead with a field goal, will be stopped
- 52:48Speaker 2: at the USC sixteen.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Yeah. Just you know, you don't want your quarterback who's
- 52:55Speaker 1: not your best runner running in that situation. There long
- 52:58Speaker 1: time for that play to develop, you know. It's almost
- 53:00Speaker 1: like you get a little bit too cute with stuff. Actually,
- 53:05Speaker 1: it looks like Bryson should have come back. It's almost
- 53:09Speaker 1: like he ran to the wrong side of the field.
- 53:10Speaker 1: Time out on the field.
- 53:11Speaker 2: Will come back to the coliseum with seven thirty five
- 53:14Speaker 2: to play. Here the first half Utah fourteen USC fourteen
- 53:19Speaker 2: seven thirty five to play on a Saturday evening in
- 53:21Speaker 2: southern California, Utah stopped. They didn't even get a yard
- 53:25Speaker 2: at the USC sixteen Trojans will take over fourteen fourteen game.
- 53:29Speaker 1: What you big of the calls, Scott, Well, I think
- 53:31Speaker 1: there's a lot of better options. I mean, if you're
- 53:33Speaker 1: gonna run the football, it's you know, Bryce and I
- 53:35Speaker 1: don't know is your best option, And it's kind of
- 53:39Speaker 1: And also I don't think he followed and went the
- 53:41Speaker 1: right way on the play. Whether he went the right
- 53:44Speaker 1: way and they went the wrong way, they weren't. They
- 53:46Speaker 1: weren't in sync with that. And I don't like those
- 53:50Speaker 1: longer developing plays. In those situations, you know, you need
- 53:54Speaker 1: to hit those holes and hit them quick. It's just
- 53:56Speaker 1: it's too easy for the defense to react when when
- 53:58Speaker 1: they're they're just low like that. Does anyone believe that
- 54:04Speaker 1: Chiquindin Jackson's gonna get the ball on his suite?
- 54:06Speaker 2: You know, it's just with no blockers in front of
- 54:09Speaker 2: him us he had two guys out the to him.
- 54:11Speaker 2: They died at the line of scrimmage. I mean, they
- 54:14Speaker 2: just they were ready. So now they get it back.
- 54:17Speaker 1: You have to pick a side of the ball and
- 54:18Speaker 1: just put the whole, your whole offense on that side
- 54:21Speaker 1: and go go run it with blockers in front.
- 54:24Speaker 2: Of you, tight end, tail back of the backfield, first
- 54:26Speaker 2: and tent for Caleb Williams and the Trojans from their
- 54:28Speaker 2: own seventeen Austin Jones to tail back. He moves to
- 54:31Speaker 2: the right of Caleb Williams on first and tent and Caleb,
- 54:34Speaker 2: you're gonna throw it. He's got time. Throws it into
- 54:37Speaker 2: the flat.
- 54:37Speaker 1: It's caught.
- 54:38Speaker 2: Short pass to the tight end. That's Lake McCree after
- 54:40Speaker 2: the twenty yard line, picks up about four yards before
- 54:43Speaker 2: he's gang tackled right there by Coretti, Reid and Lander Barton.
- 54:47Speaker 2: It'll be second down at about six, and of course
- 54:49Speaker 2: usc will not huddle. They'll go with a little tempo
- 54:51Speaker 2: here on second down.
- 54:52Speaker 1: How patient will Caleb Williams be when he can't throw
- 54:54Speaker 1: the ball down the field?
- 54:55Speaker 2: Three receivers on the right, one to the left. Here
- 54:57Speaker 2: on second down and six, Williams, he's gonna pass it
- 54:59Speaker 2: a again. Pumps once looks long. He's got a man
- 55:02Speaker 2: wide open up the sideline, McCree forty five, tries to
- 55:05Speaker 2: hurdle the tackler and down at the Utah forty seven.
- 55:14Speaker 1: He was wide open. That was a little wheel rout
- 55:15Speaker 1: for the tight end. It's a screen and a half
- 55:18Speaker 1: they're gonna and they fake the screen and the guy
- 55:20Speaker 1: slips up the sideline.
- 55:22Speaker 2: Thirty one on the pitch and catch. They're already in
- 55:24Speaker 2: Utah territory at the Utah forty eight. Williams operating quickly.
- 55:28Speaker 2: They'll throw the flankers screen to the outside again. This
- 55:30Speaker 2: one's Brendan Rice and he has tripped up and taken
- 55:33Speaker 2: down a terrific.
- 55:35Speaker 1: Tackle of the open field.
- 55:36Speaker 2: Buys a Maya Vaughan and that's gonna be a loss
- 55:39Speaker 2: all the way back to the USC forty eight to
- 55:40Speaker 2: four yards.
- 55:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great tackle, but it almost might have
- 55:43Speaker 1: been a trip tackle. He might have got away with
- 55:46Speaker 1: one right there.
- 55:48Speaker 2: Four receivers in the pattern, this time for USC on
- 55:50Speaker 2: second and fourteen for their own forty eight. Williams operating
- 55:53Speaker 2: out of the gun checks with the sidelines.
- 55:55Speaker 1: Has to play. He'll change it now.
- 55:57Speaker 2: Austin Jones the back lake McCree on the right hand
- 55:59Speaker 2: side Utah with a four man down front, play clock
- 56:02Speaker 2: at twelve.
- 56:03Speaker 1: Caleb surveys the.
- 56:05Speaker 2: Defense and now takes the beltie snap movement up front.
- 56:10Speaker 1: This is on sc They had three offensive linemen go early.
- 56:15Speaker 5: You know you heard the snap.
- 56:18Speaker 6: Fall start number seventy six of its five yard penalty.
- 56:23Speaker 1: Remain sucking out when you have a quarterback. A lot
- 56:25Speaker 1: of times that's so advanced you almost can be you
- 56:29Speaker 1: can almost overthink it, and it feels like that's a
- 56:31Speaker 1: little bit what USC. You know, they're checking changing so
- 56:34Speaker 1: many plays, and those linemen have to sit there forever
- 56:37Speaker 1: to wait for it. It's hard to do.
- 56:38Speaker 2: Second down at nineteen, Now all the way back of
- 56:40Speaker 2: the se forty three Williams out of the shotgun four receivers,
- 56:44Speaker 2: he'll pass four man rush for Utah. He'll scramble out
- 56:47Speaker 2: to his right hand side, throw it down the field
- 56:49Speaker 2: in complete, trying to get that ball to Zacharyah Branch.
- 56:52Speaker 2: Pretty good coverage out there would have been a tough
- 56:54Speaker 2: throw incomplete. Third and nineteen coming up. Now, if you're
- 56:57Speaker 2: Morgan scalyed, do you rush for and play coverage or
- 56:59Speaker 2: do you bring a little pressure on Caleb Williams.
- 57:01Speaker 1: I think you. I think he forced Caleb Williams to
- 57:04Speaker 1: throw the ball to his underneath guys. I think you
- 57:07Speaker 1: played coverage here. He's a guy that can really beat
- 57:09Speaker 1: you if you if you give him a one on
- 57:11Speaker 1: one opportunity, play coverage, make him like be greedy. Keep
- 57:17Speaker 1: an eye on Branch in the left slot.
- 57:18Speaker 2: He's matched up with the linebacker right now, third down
- 57:20Speaker 2: to nineteen, Williams looking moving flags fly, what do we have?
- 57:25Speaker 1: He's gonna be.
- 57:25Speaker 2: Chase throw it down the field. He's got a man
- 57:27Speaker 2: open down the field. It's intercepted. Utah's got it at
- 57:30Speaker 2: the twenty five yard line. That's some eye of on
- 57:32Speaker 2: He's at the thirty. He's hit the thirty two, thirty three,
- 57:35Speaker 2: thirty four to thirty five and out of bounds.
- 57:37Speaker 1: I thought USC moved.
- 57:40Speaker 2: I thought USC moved Utah looked like they got back
- 57:42Speaker 2: off the other side. But I think they're gonna call
- 57:44Speaker 2: this offside on Utah. I thought they got.
- 57:48Speaker 6: Back outside the radio one defense by yard penalty.
- 57:54Speaker 1: Did he get back across? It looked like he was
- 57:57Speaker 1: like he was trying to get back. But you know,
- 57:59Speaker 1: I don't know if that's one that you can actually review.
- 58:02Speaker 2: You can't now, you can't review those so it'll be
- 58:04Speaker 2: third and fourteen now for USC.
- 58:07Speaker 1: Yeah, they made the move and it's and it's uh,
- 58:12Speaker 1: I think I think that's what Caleb knews. So he
- 58:13Speaker 1: just said, Hey, I'm gonna just take a shot.
- 58:15Speaker 2: Four man down front for Utah. Williams out of the shotgun.
- 58:18Speaker 2: Three receivers right, one to the left hand side. He'll
- 58:21Speaker 2: check with the sideline and Lincoln Riley now come up
- 58:23Speaker 2: and change the play play clock at five.
- 58:25Speaker 1: He backs up into the shotgun again.
- 58:27Speaker 2: Third down in fourteen for the USC forty three, Williams
- 58:30Speaker 2: is gonna throw the flankers screen out into the flat
- 58:32Speaker 2: to Tage Washington.
- 58:34Speaker 1: Washington's got it.
- 58:34Speaker 2: He'll be dropped at the Utah forty five yard line,
- 58:37Speaker 2: a great open field tackle by Miles Battle, and it'll
- 58:41Speaker 2: bring up fourth down in about seven. Here are they
- 58:43Speaker 2: gonna keep the offense out, They'll building the punt team out.
- 58:46Speaker 2: That's a long way to go fourth down and seven. Yeah, really,
- 58:49Speaker 2: punt team comes out.
- 58:49Speaker 1: Really feels like either don't have confidence in their offensive
- 58:53Speaker 1: line or they were gonna try to run two places.
- 58:56Speaker 5: He number ten is now where he number forty five.
- 58:59Speaker 1: Just really shocked at that. That's to play. They called
- 59:00Speaker 1: right there.
- 59:01Speaker 2: Chaplinsky will come out Mikey Matthews at his own ten.
- 59:04Speaker 2: Watch the fake here. If you're a Utah defense, they're
- 59:08Speaker 2: in punts safe. Chaplinsky's kick is away, it's high, it's wobbly.
- 59:12Speaker 2: Mikey Matthews will let it hit. It checks up, but
- 59:15Speaker 2: then into the end zone and a good decision by
- 59:17Speaker 2: Matthews and Utah will have it first and ten at
- 59:20Speaker 2: their own twenty yard line with four minutes and twenty
- 59:23Speaker 2: seconds to play before halftime here at Kylo sem in La.
- 59:27Speaker 1: Really important for Utah to score on this drive here.
- 59:29Speaker 1: They need a long drive and they need to score
- 59:31Speaker 1: here just to keep up with you know, the sc
- 59:34Speaker 1: gets the ball to begin things in the second half.
- 59:36Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know, what do you get
- 59:40Speaker 1: fifteen yards? Is that the game they got without? It's
- 59:43Speaker 1: almost like you're better off if you're going to kick
- 59:46Speaker 1: it in the end zone.
- 59:47Speaker 2: To go for it on fourth round, Heart springs the
- 59:49Speaker 2: offense out to run formation here two wides and two
- 59:52Speaker 2: tights Jick Winn to Jackson In the ball game, sc
- 59:55Speaker 2: was six near the line of scrimmage.
- 59:57Speaker 1: Von Dayley in motion for Utah.
- 59:59Speaker 2: Rice and Barnes play action pass on first down, looking
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: throwing down the middle, has a man caught and beyond
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: the thirty five after the thirty eight yard line goes
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: to von Vele. Another good job protecting Barnes that time
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: with a clean pocket and a seventeen hard pitch and catch.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: See, if you're gonna throw the ball down the field,
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: it's so much better to do it like that. And
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: that's a that's a route Utah hasn't done where they
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: actually do two deep ends, two deep dig routes. And
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: the first guy cleared it out and then the second
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: guy was just wide open. First and ten utes.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: They could take their time here clock dipping under four
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: to play and running here in the first half fourteen
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: to fourteen our score, JJ the tail back two tights
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: and two wides for Utah, turning a gift to gwyn
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: to Jackson, bouncing around, moving around, it up ended Christian
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: Roland Wallace from his corner position, came diving in and
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: knocked over to Gwinn to Jackson after a two yard
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: game second down an eight coming up.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not really sure why you know he uh,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: you know, it looked like the blocker went back to
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: the riot. Just I don't know that ja Quinnin's just
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: totally feeling comfortable, and you're not seeing as much of
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: the Sioni Vaka in the game as we did last
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: week as a runner. Oh, he's in the ball game
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: right now. On second down and eight.
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: From the Utah thirty nine, Vaki moves into the wildcat
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: formation with Jackson next to him. Sioni's gonna keep it
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: to the outside cee only Vaki forty forty five to
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: fifty still on his feet forty five, breaks.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: Out of a tackle and steps out of bounds at
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: the USC forty one yard line.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: See only Vaki said, come get me, Trojans, you don't
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: want to tackle this, and they didn't.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: A big gain on first down Jalen Smith with a tackle.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: Now that student body really left if we're you know,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: and that's what they should have run on that last
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: fourth down. I mean they brought two linemen and the
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: running back. Great job here with everyone and a really
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: nice read by I mean, like he's the guy that
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: you can't.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: Even tackle twenty two yards first down Utah from the
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: USC forty one. Vaki stays in the ball game with
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Bryce and Barnes, Barnes and Jackson, Vaki and Jackson now
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: and that'll be a hand off dear side thirty five
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: install on his feet down goes Baki to the thirty
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: three yard line.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: He's got to be tired. It was to Quinn to.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: Jackson, who was the quarterback that time. Well, now that's
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: a pick up of eight yard and.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: It's a luxury because you know cha, Quinton was a quarterback,
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: you know, so he's a guy that can handle things.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: And that's a good move. I like, I like this
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: this little wrinkle on all of this where you have
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: two run and a pass threat with Sie only Vaki
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: in the game nine yard game.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: They keep Jackson and Baki in together with Barns here
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: Rice and will split out wide to the right hand side.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Would they let you Quinn? Did Jackson throw it three receivers?
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Jackson plays the wildcat quarterback. Now he'll let Baki do
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: the same thing. Motion and what do we have?
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Well, that's that was not the motion. He can come
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: across and stuff out.
- 1:02:44Speaker 6: I'll start offense of the forty seven by yard pelloty
- 1:02:49Speaker 6: until second elm.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: He has to keep moving though. I think he can't
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: stop midway through.
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: How about Baki's numbers tonight, four rushes thirty seven, three
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: receptions ninety eight.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's a heck of a player. He's tired.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing, there's nothing wrong with that motion,
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: not one thing. I think. I think the tight end
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: just decided.
- 1:03:10Speaker 5: Start the game on the snout.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: He was he wasn't supposed to go in motion. And
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: then he there's nothing wrong with.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: That second and six back at the USC thirty seven
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: yard line. Jackson in the ball game, Barns with him
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: three wide receivers.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: Right and loses the football. Does USC have it? No,
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: Utah does Utah fell on it?
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: Back of the forty three Oh my goodness, it was
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: nearly a scoop and score by the Trojans. And now
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: flags fly. You might have a personal foul in that.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: In that scrum down below, it was to Tona toky
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: I who recovered the fumble. Starting left tackle tonight, he's
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: in for Spencer Fano.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: Yeah, and Utah is really really lucky right here. But yeah,
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Utah clearly picks up the the play there, and yeah,
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: it looks like the USC guy.
- 1:03:58Speaker 6: Just fell unless say, rough this is number fifty two
- 1:04:02Speaker 6: of the offense thirteen yard.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: Wow, they're gone.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: That's on Mikey Michael Mogafisi. And now instead of third
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: down at about eight, third down to nine. Now you've
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: got third down at fifteen.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: Now, I don't know what happened there. It looked like,
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: actually you got more than that.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: After the loss, it's third down and about Giemiti Christmas
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: almost thirty.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a This is a play whereas a
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: play caller you just throw your hands in the air
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: and go, I don't know about this. It's almost like
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: it's almost like one of those situations where you call
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: one of those trick plays.
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: Third twenty three here, you know this, this drives been
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: a mix of great and terrible for Utah, all at
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: the same time. Minute thirty four to play here the
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: half fourteen fourteen, they're gonna have to take a time out.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: The play blocks at now nine eight seven. They've got
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: three time outs.
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: Six five.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: Barnes in the shotgun moves a man across takes the snap,
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: hands it to Gwinton Jack No, Barnes keeps it himself. Oh, Bryce,
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: and hand that ball off. He picks up about three
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: yards to the forty seven yard line.
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: And that's it.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: USC takes the time out, or do that if they
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: finally do with a minute twenty to play seconds hard
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: time out?
- 1:05:17Speaker 5: USC.
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know these are those situations where you
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: get a young quarterback's a little bit rattled. You know
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: that that Zone Reid handoff really wasn't good yet why
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: he didn't get the ball to store the game? He
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: might have run through there for a pretty good count.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna get a first down, but so.
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: U see takes the time out here, we'll take well,
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: we're gonna just keep it right here. We'll remind Utah
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: fans at all season long you can swing by your
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: local smiths and save on your paper PepsiCo products. Chiz
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: Pepsi was made for Utah watching. We've got about a
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: minute thirty to play in the first half. Utah's gonna
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: punt it here. USC used their second time out, so
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: they'll have one time out. If Balbister can hit this, well,
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: it should be an eighty plus yard field here for
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. And to be fair, Scott, we haven't really
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: seen them go down the field except that one play
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: early in the ball game.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: Here.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see how conservative Lincoln Riley plays
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: it here with a minute thirty to play, knowing he
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: gets the football back here and you.
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: Know, it's clear he's concerned about this Utah offense or
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: defensive front, and he knows that if his quarterback's gonna
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: sit in there for any amount of time, it's going
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: to be hard. So you know, I mean, if he
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: feels that he can kind of chip away at this
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: defense here and you know, let's just kind of feel
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: it out, see where we get field positioned, and if
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: we get some plays going, then then maybe we go
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: with it.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: One thing you can't do if your Utah here is
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: give up points before halftime, just you have to get
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: usc off the field knowing they've got the ball coming out.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: You've played a good, solid first half here. He can't
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: have a letdown in the final ninety second.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: No, there's no question that, you know, that's the thing here,
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: And so a really good punt, you know, backing him
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: up is so important, and then it's just about it's
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: about keeping everything in front of Caleb Williams because he
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: he wants to throw the ball down the field and
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: it's hard for him to have that patience to hit
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: those checkdowns. And you know, the more times, the more
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: frustrated he gets where he can't do what he wants
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: to do, the more it's gonna play into Utah's favor.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: Big thank you to h and E Equipment Service.
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: It's proud to be the official construction equipment partner the
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: University of Utah Athletics. Give him a call at eight

- 1:07:41Speaker 2: Roe Blez is here, sums out, guns out for Roblez,
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: it doesn't matter the weather for him. Alonzo looks like

- 1:07:51Speaker 2: have coach Wit coming up. James Peterson Backett Studio Network Controlled.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: Great to be with you tonight as it's dusk here
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: in Southern Town, California. Jack Baumeister out the punt for
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: Utah and the very dangerous Zachariah Branch who's taken one
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: back to the house this year. He did it against
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: Stanford seventy five yards and if I'm Utah, I kick
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: away from him bow Meister at his own thirty three.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: Let's see if Utah or usc comes after him they do.
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: Punt is away, it's angled away and Branch is gonna
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: look up and take it, Zachariah. Branch gets to the
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: outside and now he's taken down. It is Oh, he's
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: still on his feet and now finally taking down back
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: at his own nine yard line. Now he did the
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: cardinal sin of running backwards. And I guess if I
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: had his kind of athleticism, I might try to do
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: that too. But that did not work well for him.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: They'll mark him down at the ten a ninety yard
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: field with a minute eighteen to play.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: Here for Caleb with well, great discipline on that special teams.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: You know, guys stayed in their lane, they maintained leverage
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: and just didn't give a guy. You know, it's a
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: hard thing to do.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: Let's see what Caleb does here. We know he can
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: move it fast down the field. Got weapons to do
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: it too. Jones in the backfield with him. They're in
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: the shotgut at the five yard line. Three receivers in
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: the pattern here for USC, they moved but creed the
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: tight end to the right hand side Utah with four
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: down linemen.
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: We'll see if they rush four.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: If they rushed three, Caleb Williams to pass four man
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: rush down the field, it's caught short in bounds to
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: the twenty yard line. They dump off pass to Dorian Singer.
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: The Arizona transfers and not made a lot of noise
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: since coming to USC. They'll set the ball and reset
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: it here and the clock comes up on a minute
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: five to play first and ten for the twenty.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: Now Williams to pass again.
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: Pressures to coming from behind on Caleb Williams, he's gonna
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: throw it away out of bounds. He was about to
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: be sacked that time by conn O'Toole, and he threw
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: it away in complete with fifty seven seconds to play.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost he's almost across the line of scrimmage there,
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it looked like, you know, maybe
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: he was even still in even though he moved up,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: he might have still been in the tackle box. Here
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: we go.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: Three receivers in the pattern Jones and the backfield on
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: second and ten for the USC twenty yard line. Movement
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: up front by Utah. Now they're gonna change the play,
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: so odave Peppa gets back and the play clock at
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: ten as Williams backs up into the gun, pulls the
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: receivers in tight.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: This time, Caleb backpedals to throw.
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: Four man rush coming, four man rush looking to get home,
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: throws complete into the flat. It's complete and taken down
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: at about the twenty eight yard line.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: That was Mario Williams. Clock continues to run.
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: Forty four forty three, forty two seconds and third down
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: and three coming up here for the Trojans. They better
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: complete this or Utah is gonna take a time out.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: Third down and three. Williams out of the gun again,
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: four man rush again, firing over the middle, complete, this
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: time complete to Michael Jackson the third. Not exactly a
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: thrilling catch that time, but good for a first down
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: in a four yard game. Twenty eight to twenty seven,
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: twenty six seconds. Now for the thirty one yard line.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: They'll spike the football, save the time out with twenty
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: four seconds to play. If you're wondering about Dennis Lynch
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: in his range, he has hit from fifty three yards
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: this year, and he's five of six on his field
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: goal attempts. But they would have to get to about
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: the thirty five of Utah. So still another twenty twenty,
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: another thirty five yards or sort.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: Of go yeah, look for some trick play double move.
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: Here we go first and ten, now second in ten,
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: Williams to pass again, a four man rush for Utah.
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: Looking scanning, surveying down the field.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: He's got a man.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: Wide open down the field. Todje Washington incomplete. Oh goodness.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: J T.
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: Brodton got over Miles Battle did late two, but that
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: was nearly disastrous for Utah. Third down and ten, coming
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: up with fifteen seconds to.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: Play in a half. Yeah, good recovery there, because that
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: ball kind of floated up in the air and could
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: have been called pass interference. But you know you got
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: to make the officials to do that, You really do.
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: Crowd doesn't like it as another replay on the big board,
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: but Broughton was there to make the play.
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: Third and ten.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: Do they take another shot down the field here? Two
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: out of five on third down of the Trojans.
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: So important to keep everything in front of you.
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: Right here, five wide in the pattern here for USC
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: No backs of the backfield. Three on the right, two
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: on the left. Utah will rush four. Now Jones comes
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: back into the backfield. Williams to pass four man rush, looking, throwing, scrambling,
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: sacked and taken down from behind. That's the end of
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: the half, and that'll be the end of the half.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: As Connor Rotole gets his second sack of the season.
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: Two seconds. One second takes us to halftime here at
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: the coliseum.
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: What is the end of the first half.
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: Excellent coverage down the field by Utah forces the sack.
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: We'll go down to sly who's waiting right now on
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham. As Wittingham will come off the field here
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: for the University of Utah. Kyle clapping and giving hand
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: to high fives to his guys as they wait for
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: USC to clear the field. First, let slide go over
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: and grab him here momentarily with high five of his
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: defenders fourteen to fourteams are score as they hold everybody.
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: Are we waiting on National Radio here at the slide
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: get him first, slide.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: Make your way through and grab wit.
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: Go ahead, National Radio first.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Oh, he's walking up the tunnel. Go grab you get
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: grab him before he gets up that tunnel.
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: Slide, Hey, coach, the new wrinkle on offense with SIONI
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: into Quentin and at the same time, is that working.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: I will for you.
- 1:13:44Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's uh. You know, it's something that we
- 1:13:47Speaker 7: practiced all week obviously, and it's part of the plan.
- 1:13:51Speaker 7: Got some other things with him we haven't shown yet
- 1:13:52Speaker 7: in the second year. But uh, I thought the office
- 1:13:55Speaker 7: did a nice job in the first half. Answering that
- 1:13:58Speaker 7: second driver was critical. First quarter. We didn't play runday
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: since long enough shored that up in the second quarter,
- 1:14:04Speaker 7: and I like to spot with him right now.
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: Second half, you get cold bishop back. What are you
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: looking to see out of this defense in the second half?
- 1:14:11Speaker 7: I don't be used to get called back or just
- 1:14:13Speaker 7: more on the same. Just keep playing, run tough, and
- 1:14:16Speaker 7: just keep thanks.
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: Coach, slide coach, thank you. Halftime here at the coliseum.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: If I told you Utah fans you'd be tied at
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: fourteen at halftime, would you like it? They played well
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: in some cases maybe about play usc.
- 1:14:31Speaker 4: No with a coal of the second half Peers, Scott Mitchell,
- 1:14:34Speaker 4: Stevenson Sylvester and the Voice of the Youth's Bill Riley.
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: Thirty minutes down, thirty minutes to go.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: On this Saturday night in southern California, Utah fourteen have
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: the USC Trojans fourteen second half being brought to you
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: by University of Utah Health at Saint Great Kier, the
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: Youths Trust visit him on like you of you Health
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: dot Org and slash Care to be great. So Utah
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: will not have the to begin the second half, USC will,
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: but Utah will get Cole Bishop back. You spent the
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: entirety of the halftimes got out stretching as he stood
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: the first half.
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: What kind of a difference could Bishop make? Well, he's
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: a playmaker, for one, and it's gonna take a little
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: bit of pressure off Sioni Bake. I mean, I think
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: early on you saw the impact of him with you know,
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: just not being real stout on some of those runs
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: because of Cole's so good at those edge you know plays,
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: and so it'll be it'll be interesting to see what
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: kind of impact he can have because Sioni's been such
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: a threat offensively, really the only thing that stopped Utah
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: has been themselves, right, I mean it's just you know,
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: just dumb unforced penalties and and uh and just you know,
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: poor execution have been and the thing Utah has got
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: to do really well on early downs in drives to
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: be successful in the second house.
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: Go down to Sly and see what the message in
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: halftime Wasn't that Utah locker room Sly what Kyle killed
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: the guys at the half?
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: It was great energy. It was great energy. Kyle really
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: didn't have to say much in at halftime. Coach Morgan
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: Scully was good, but just I know he kain of
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: got cut out. I was heading up the tunnel with
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: Coach Whittingham, but I asked him about Cole Bishop and
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: his addition, and he got really excited, as guy said,
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: he's gonna be huge, especially with Sioni Vaki playing double time. Hey,
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: Richie's playing pretty good. The size the miss tackle on
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: that touchdown, he's playing really good. So they can rotate
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: him in get the only Vaki a break. So it
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: just had it in another big time player like Cole
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: Bishop in the second half, and Cole Bishop was actually
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: vocal and I haven't really seen coach Cole Bishop be
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: vocal in the locker room, but he's very excited to
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: be out here on this football team. On this in
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: this football game, and now with us, he's starting with
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: the football. It's gonna be big time to see Cole
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: Bishop in the second half USC.
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: And by the way, that's our Ken Garf sideline report
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: brought you by Ken Garth.
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: We hear you us.
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: He had six first half possessions, two touchdowns on their
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: first two drives, three punts, one three and out one
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: end of half.
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: Their average start was their own twenty.
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: You did six first half possessions, two touchdowns, three punts,
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: one three and out and one stop on downs.
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: Their average start was their own eight.
- 1:17:00Speaker 6: Number ten for USC is now where he number forty five.
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: So Utah will kick off.
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch will be back to return this kick for
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: the USC Trojans. Again, he's taken one kickback this year
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: and one punt back this year. If he gets into
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: the open field, it's lights out. So Utah will have
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: to cover this kick well. Thirty minutes to go here
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: in Southern California, thirty minutes to see if Utah can
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: make it four in a row over the Trojans and
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: continue to keep their one loss PAC twelve season alive
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: and going here tonight.
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: This is a this USC team has been one that
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: you know, has been a beating, not very good team,
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: so they're used to being up by a lot of points.
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: How you know, how do they answer? And how does
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: Utah answer? Because Utah is a team that understands how
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: to win these close games and get the championships.
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: Chase Carter puts his right foot into it, drives it
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: high and end over end Branch. She's gonna take it
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: from his own goal line. Zachariah Branch to the ten
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: branch open field, runs into his own man and goes
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: down at about the nineteen yard line. Good, my goodness,
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: he was getting the head of steam breaking into the
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: clear and he ran into his own guy at the
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: eighteen and that's where USC will start first and ten.
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: Yeah, great coverage and a great kick too, even though
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: it didn't get in the end zone. It made him
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: move and have to go backwards, which just slows his momentum.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: Second half being brought to you by meet Hook Find
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: him online at Meathook bbq co dot com, Meathook Barbecue
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: for the Big Go Tires Broadcast booth USC first and
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: ten opening drive of the second half in a fourteen
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: to fourteen game Caleb Williams brings out the offense. Two
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: receivers right, one to the left, Marshawn Lloyd well motion
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: to the right side of Caleb Williams.
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: Utah will rush four on first down.
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: Now, Caleb's gonna step up and change the play with
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: seven on the play clock.
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: Four on the play clock.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: As he backs up into the shotgun, takes the bell
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: tie snap and hands it off to Marshawn Lloyd, who
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: has running room out beyond the twenty to about the
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: twenty two yard line for a gain of about four
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: on first down. Looked like there might be more. Van
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: Fillager came up with a tackle on the play for Utah.
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that counterplay that they had the big chunk
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: plays on early in the game. Cole Bishop's in and
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: it just feels a little bit more secure up front.
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: Here we go three receivers right here on first and
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: now second down in six, Williams checks with the sideline,
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: keeps the play. Lloyd stays at the ball game next
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: to it. Now it's branch of the backfield. They throw
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: the flanker screen to the outside and Washington is tripped
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: up and taken down naked. Dorian Singer tripped up and
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: taken down on a terrific read by Jay mcint Zamaya
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: Vaughn and third down coming up, third down and five.
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: That's a crazy place. Zamayah's slined up on the right side,
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: runs over to the slot, gets there right before the
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: snap and goes Man makes a nice open field tackle.
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: Amazing play right there.
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: Two receivers left, two to the right hand side on
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: third and five for the Trojans opening drives second half
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: of their own twenty three. Williams in the gun, Utah
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: crowding the line of scrimmage. Now Caleb's gonna back up
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: and keep the play bell tie snap, four man rush coming.
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: Williams looking surveying ball, knocked down and now he's gonna
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: be knocked down and taken down.
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: He pulled it back and paid the price, got sacked
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: by Van.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: Fillinger and the Utah defense forces a three and out
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: on the opening drive of the second half of the
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: usc Trojans. Great work up front by the front four
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: of Utah.
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: Well, it's also great work in the secondary, and you
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: saw that in the end of the first half. These
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: guys really dialed into what us He's doing in there.
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: With their past, and then it gives you that opportunity
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: for those defensive linemen to get there.
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: He wanted to throw it and pulled it back and
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: then took the sack. Chaplinsky on to punt Mikey Matthews,
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: who's been good tonight in the return game at his
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: own thirty five.
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: Eddie. Chaplinsky's kick is away. It's a high hanging kick.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: Mike's gonna come up in fair catch it at the
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: forty two yard line of Utah will have terrific starting
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: field position to begin this drive. Forty yard punt, no return,
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: a little extra curricular down there on the special teams,
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: no flags flying though, and Bryce and Barnes will bring
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: out the offense.
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: I'll see if they can do what they did on
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: the opening drive of the first Half's guy, Yeah, you know,
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: you can't ask more for your defense on that where
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: they go three and out, they get sack to get
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: off the field and get really good deal position. You know,
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: that play action on early downs with that double en
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: route was a nice play. A good chunk play might
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: be a good call right here in the first play.
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: Jackson in the ball game, two tights and two wides
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: for Utah on first intent with their own forty one
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: Barns of the shotgun motion man across the formation.
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: They get it.
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: The money parks on the edge, Money turns up field
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: forty five, forty seven and forty eight yard line goes
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: money parks and a pickup of seven on first down.
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: Nice run. Yeah, it's so fascinating to watch him. It's
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: good to see money in there. And you know it
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: gets a little bumped off here, but you got a
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: lot of guys around the ball there for USC and
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: nobody making a play. I mean, a lot of people
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: should have been in position to stop that. And well
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: that's kind of the vature of USC's d right, I mean,
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: and you can see it on that play right there.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: They just couldn't get a tackle. Second down in three.
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: As Barnes goes under center, Jackson stays of the ball game.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: Two tight ends moved to the left hand side. USC
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: crowds a line of scrimmage, hand off to Quinn, did
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: Jack to the fifty, stays on his feet, keeps those
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: feet moving to the USC forty six, a gain of
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: five and a first mile first down as Utah will
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: move the chains in the USC territory Provo native Mason Cobb,
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: the Oklahoma State transfer, made the tackle on the play.
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: Yeah, a nice reading by Jack Quinnon there. He feels
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: like he's running a little bit more pesky here in
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: the second half. Those are those fun plays, though. If
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: he pops it at the line of scrimmage with all
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: those guys up there, he might break it for a
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: long run, even a touchdown.
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: JJ closing in on a thousand career yards I formation
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: this time. Now they'll move two tight ends left and
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: right motion Money Parks across the formation again, turn and
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: a play action roll to the right.
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: They dump it in the flat.
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: Money Parks has it forty thirty five thirty twenty five
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: and out of bounds at the USC twenty four yard line.
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: Goes Money Parks.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: That's a twenty four yard pitching catch on the play
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: and a great little roll out.
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: Money was all by himself. What a great play call
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: right here. You know that play you get the ball
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: over on the positive. You know past the fifty yard line,
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: you expect pressure. USC came. They were like, we got
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: to stop Utah on the run here. Everyone bit into
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: that play and then it was it was he was
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: almost too wide open and Bryson almost overthrew him there
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: and why he could have almost scored. He needs to
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: be a little bit more aggressive Vaki in the ball game.
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: Barnes motions out wildcat Baki to the right hand side.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: Now up the middle, SIONI inside the twenty, hops forward
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: and down to the eighteen yard line for a gain
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: of six.
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: I like that formation with Jackson and Vaki in the backfield.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: I love it, and I wouldn't be surprised if you saw,
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: as coach Whittingham said, maybe one of these little wrinkles here,
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: especially when you get down toward the goal line and
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: you got to punch it in. You like to maybe
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: call one of those you know, fake it into the line,
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: throw it kind of things right.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: Third trip into the U first Credit Union red zone
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: today for Utah. Baki stays at the ball game as
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: the wildcat, Jackson next to him. Jackson hands now keep
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: straight ahead a fifteen JJ ten JJ.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: To the nine yard line, first in goal.
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: Utah on a first mile first down, and Money parks
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: limps his way off the field and out of bounds.
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: He may have turned his ankle, but Utah's got it
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: inside the ten first and goal.
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: It's such a huge advantage when you run this wildcat
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: like this to have a quarterback in there, and it
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: takes so much pressure off SIONI and to switch those
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: two back and forth. But you know, because that ball
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: handling takes time to develop and ja Quinnin's very comfortable
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: with it. Empty backfield.
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: Now, JJ will split wide to the left hand side,
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: first and goal for the nine Barns by himself in
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: the backfield motion king across the formation break. Bryson keeps
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: it himself on his feet, spins out of a tackle
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: two the two yard line.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: Now he'll stay down at the three for a gate
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: of six.
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: Bryce and Shaw made the tackle, but a good second
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: effort by Bryson Barnes.
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that that quarterback run that he ran
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: earlier in the game, just a great, great play right there.
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: You love to get at four or five yards when
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: you're inside the ten yard line rushing because it's it's
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: so tight down there. To be able to run the
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: ball ahead is a huge advantage those That's the way
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: you score touchdowns is being able to rush the ball.
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: Here, Jackson the tail back, Second and goal from the
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: three Barns under center. Two tight ends moved to the
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: left hand side. Sc was seven at the line. They'll
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: motion me near, but playing across the formation handed to Jackson.
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: J J stays on his feet, moves.
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: The pile, gets back to the line of scrimmage and
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: that's it. Then gets thrown to the ground theirs flax.
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: The USC is going to be flagged for a personal ballot.
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: Utah is going to have a first and goal at
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: the one and a half yard line. That was a
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: dumb play by the Trojans.
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: And these are things that you know build up over time.
- 1:25:41Speaker 6: Wait, personal foul unecessarily of this Ninetyns not to this
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: at all, amount.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: Of this big bear Alexander the Georgia transfer just made
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: a stupid play and Utah's got it first and gold
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: about the one and a half yard line.
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: But you get frustrated, and then you know frustrated that
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: you can't stop anyone. You can't stop anyone, and then
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: you start to see plays like that. You know, it's
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: huge to get a first down here right right on
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: the one yard line.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: When Dia Jackson stays with the ball game here for Utah,
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: Rice and Barnes and now they've got the big fellow
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: in the backfield.
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: Lead full back. That's a hand off.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: Jackson keeps his feet, pushes the pile and picks up
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: about a half yard to the one yard line. That
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: was an offensive lineman in the backfield for Utah. That
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: was southtoa moyai. They tried to play big boy football
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: in USC. Was ready second and goal for the one.
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: Someone got through. Someone didn't get blocked here, and you
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: gotta block those front line guys. You can't have them
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: run through there. Looked like the left guard just missed
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: his guy right there.
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: Here's where you test your manhood in football. Goal to
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: go second a goal for the one lover the back
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: Barnes under center motion across the formation. Flags fly, Oh
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: this is on Utah.
- 1:27:04Speaker 6: Oh my god, my goodness, come on part of the
- 1:27:08Speaker 6: south fall start number fifty two offense bludyard tuning.
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: Let me second out Okafisi with his second flag DENI
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: now second and goal with the one becomes second and
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: goal from the six. That's a killer. It's a real killer.
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: And it's one of those things where you know, USC
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: has not stopped Utah here in the in the game period.
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: It's just been plays like this and dumb things like
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: this that have caused problem.
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: Seven to fifteen o'clock running to play in the third
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: quarter time at fourteen second of goal, Utah from the
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: USC six, glover the back, Barnes in the shotgun, sc
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: crowds the line. Ryson takes the snap and he'll pass
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: scanning the field, looking looking, looking, still looking, throwing near the.
- 1:27:53Speaker 4: Goal like cat touchdown, touchdown Land and King what is
- 1:27:59Speaker 4: second touchdown?
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: Rap of the ear and Utah takes the lead back
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: midway through the third.
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: Really nice job by Landing here, you know, coming back
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: to Bryson. Bryson, it makes me nervous because his bailout
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: is to just run out to the wide to the
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: right and and I mean he's hanging in there. You know,
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: he should have maybe moved to his left. But a
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: really really tough throw there. What a nice row by
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: bar and a great catch, you know, from someone who
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of catches. That's big play.
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: What a nice row by Barnes. The Auburn transfer landon
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: King pat here Cole Becker.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: Up and good. He's good. Midway through the third here
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: at the Coliseum on a Saturday night.
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: Look what we've got Utah twenty one and usc fourteen.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: That's scoring drive, nine plays, fifty nine yards and five
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: thirty one off the game clock, touchdown for landon King
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: and Utah leads at twenty one fourteen. Downstairs, how'd that
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: scoring drive look to U slide?
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: Well, it started off gray with starting to half off
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: with a quick three and out by the knee, and
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: then the offense methodically moving down the field. The big
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: completion of money parks Bryce and Barnes orchestrating a great
- 1:29:06Speaker 3: drive give and take between Sione Baki and jaquin and Jackson. Actually,
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: the highlight of the drive for me was when Jaquinn
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: and Jackson had pretty much egged on that personal foul
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: penalty by the defensive line because he gets up on
- 1:29:19Speaker 3: the ground with his sinister smile. You know the little
- 1:29:21Speaker 3: brother that gets the older brother in trouble. That's the
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: smile that Jaquinn and Jackson had after he got that
- 1:29:26Speaker 3: guy with a personal foul penalty. But great job by
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: this offense taking up a lot of time in this
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: third quarter, which is exactly what you want to do,
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: and punching it in an inzeon and.
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: By the way, no third downs for Utah on that drive.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: Even bigger. Winning on early downs is such a huge
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: team for this team. They have a hard time.
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: Like recovering Zachariah Branch back to receive the Chase Carter
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: kick which is high and short, very returnable from the six.
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: Here's Branch to the outside.
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch lookout open field and tackled at the USC
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: thirty two. That was nearly danger time for Utah. You
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: can't kick it short to Zachariah Branch. We've got a
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: time out on the field here at the coliseum with
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: seven twenty three to play and a great open field
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: tackle by Britain for former.
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: USC Trojan Britain Allen Nice twenty one fourteen.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: Utah Smith's proud to sponsor Utah football in U guy,
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: I've let it Swiss for fresh for everyone.
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: Scott, are you ready or you're sitting down? I've got
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: another spat stat hang on, let me sit down, Okay,
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: I'm just I'm sitting. Each team's had seven possessions in
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: this game.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: Bryce and Barnes is nine of twelve for one hundred
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: and sixty nine yards and two touchdowns. The Heisman Trophy
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: raiding winner fifteen to twenty one for one hundred and
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: forty yards and no touchdowns. Wow, Rice and Barnes right
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: at least right now out playing Caleb Williams.
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: Look, you worried about this offense and can they score
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: points and can they do things in clutch moments in
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: big games. And you just saw that on that first drive,
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: you know, went right down the field and scored a touchdown.
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: It's not something we've been seeing early early on in
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: this in this sea and from this offense. So good
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: sign right there. S.
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: He has it first intent coming out of the time
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: out with seven twenty three to play in the third,
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: Utah leading twenty one to fourteen.
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: First intent at their own thirty two.
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: Yard line, Williams has Marshawn Lloyd to the backfield. Two
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: receivers left, one to the right hand side, tight end
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: to the left slot. Utah with four men at the line,
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: seven in the box. Williams checks with the sideline He's
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: now gonna change the play at the line of scrimmage.
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: Play clock at thirteen plenty of time backs up into
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: the shotgun. Now moves Lloyd back to his left hand side.
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: Utah said, so is. Williams takes the bell tie snap
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: and he's gonna throw play action pressure coming to the outside.
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: Goes Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams looking down the field, trying
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: to buy himself some time. It just simply throws it away.
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: The Utah pressure got to him.
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: The coverage was great downtown and Van Fillager forced him
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: to throw it away early second down.
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: Yeah, very interesting there where Caleb just is still reluctant
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: to run, you know, he just really is. It just
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: it's a reluctance. But man, what a great job on
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: that defense right there. The pressure.
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: Dan Pillager almost had his second sack of the day.
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: Second in ten Utah receivers left and right twins there
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: in the back of the backfield. Utah with fourth the
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: line now five of the line. Williams, operating out of
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: the shotgun as he does most of the time for
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: this USC offense, claps his hands, takes the belt high,
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: snap drops the pass. Pressure in his face being chased
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: to the outside, Caleb Williams up the field.
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: He goes forty five.
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: Caleb Williams to the forty seven and down he goes, Well, Scott,
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: you spoke it into existence right there.
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: He ran it picked up the first down for USC.
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: See and he just it's just something he just doesn't
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: want to do. I mean, he's really really good at it. Man. Now,
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: Utah got to him, but they didn't get him down. No,
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: they didn't. And they you know, they've been so good
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: in they're discipline. Right there, they almost had him. But
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: he's he's tough. I'm telling you, he's tough. People.
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: Fifteen yards out to the forty seven go Williams and
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: the Trojans clock running at six forty to play. Here
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: in the third quarter, first in ten usc changing the
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: play again is Caleb Williams twins left and right again.
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: Utah will rush four again here with the back of
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: the backfield. Marshaun Lloyd. Williams takes the snap, runs the
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: option to the outside. Now Marshawn Lloyd's got it, not
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: going very far, but breaks into Utah, balls.
- 1:33:13Speaker 4: Out, balls out, you toss got it? Guess who it's
- 1:33:19Speaker 4: Cole Bishop on the field here in the second half.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: It falls on the Marshawn Lloyd football and Utass got
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: it back. Yeah. What a nice play here. You know,
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: it looks like they do a great job of reading
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: the option and uh and you know, you keep tackling
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: people and Marshawn, he touched Phillincher knocked it out. Great
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: awareness there and a time out on the field. We'll
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: take it with it.
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: With six' eighteen to play, Pillinger came to play tonight,
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: Bishop back on the field, Shoannie on the spot. Utah
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: with the football when we get back six' eighteen to
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: play in the third here in the coliseum, you thought
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: twenty one and USC fourteen Utah Football Night being brought
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: to you by Jersey Mikes because authentic ingredients make up
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: us up.
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: Above, go you sly.
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: Sometimes effort is all that matters. If Van Fillager is
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: given it tonight, Yes he is.
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: He is all over the football field applying pressure. Even
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: when he doesn't get to the quarterback. He's affecting the
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: play and his defense is flying around not making it
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: easy for Caleb Williams, even whether he's dropped back passing
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: or if he's rolling out in the pocket. But that
- 1:34:25Speaker 3: was all effort running to the football, which we weren't
- 1:34:27Speaker 3: seeing early in the football game. And these guys are
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: making it happen now.
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: Van Fillager tonight has four tackles, a sack and a
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: force fuffle.
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: That's effort right there. Scott Mitchell. No, it really is.
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: And Vans such a great player, and you know they
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: put all this emphasis on Jonah Ellis. You know, they
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: just say, Okay, Van Fillinger, you have to beat us.
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: They're double teaming, double teaming Jonah, and Van's being able
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: to you know, he's one on one and he's answered
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: the bell.
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: First attent Utah for their own forty five empty backfield.
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: Bryce at Barnes five wide, did the pattern Brice that's
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: gonna throw on first down, lots of time, dumps it
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: over the middle. Complete and that's out to about the
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: forty nine forty eight of us see Devon Veile. Just
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: an easy pitch to catch six yards on first down.
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: Yeah, De Bond's got to understand the defense right there.
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: That should have been even a bigger play. He kind
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: of stud he turned into the defense that you know,
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: the quarterback throws the ball to your outside shoulder for
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: a reason. You got to turn and roll up the field.
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: He might have got it in a first down. But
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: it's a positive play. But it you know, again, it
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: should be.
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: More SHIELDI Vaki in the ball game with Bryce and Barnes.
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: Even the shotgun two receivers now three receivers at a
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: tied end for Utah.
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: Second down at four.
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: Vaki takes the hand off, try to make something out
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: of nothing, and it's nothing. Two yard loss. Back to
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: the forty eight of Utah. Soliman Bird with the tackle
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: for us. See that's just that's not the play for
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: Sieodi Vodki.
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: Now, well, they had nine guys at the line of scrimmage.
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: They got they they run blitzed raight there. They knew
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: Utah is going to run the ball, and you know,
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: se Zoni almost made something out of nothing. You it's
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: almost like it should have flipped those first two plays.
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: Run it on first down and thrown it on second.
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: Here we go, third down at seven for Utah. They're
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: just one for six tonight on third down. Gotta get
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: to the USC forty five plake block at ten as
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: they break the huddle.
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: Here, geez, they better get going.
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: Play clock at eight, play clock at seven, shotgun three
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: receivers right for Utah. Play clock at three, staff backpedal, Bryson, Barnes,
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: lots of time, he's gonna scramble. Bryson's got the first
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: down forty and slides at the USC thirty nine yard line.
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: That's a first mile first down in a great decision
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: by Bryson Barnes. They'll market at the forty one, still
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: a first down.
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: Those are the plays. It's those big conversions, and that
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: was what Cam was so good about it. But Brice
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: and again step up in the pock, good pocket, good
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: things happen. Don't run away to the outside. And he
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: did just very decisive, very aware right there. And oh,
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: that was an awesome play.
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: First bound Utah at the USC forty one for twenty
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: four to play in the third Utah twenty one.
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: USC fourteen.
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: Jackson the back of the back field with Bryson Barnes,
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: Ocean Mikey Matthews hand off. Jaquin did straight ahead secondary
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: thirty five thirty twenty five twenty ripped up and down
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: at the USC fifteen yard line.
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: Oh, he almost went the distance.
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: It's first and ten Utah after one heck of a
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: twenty five yard run by jack Quinn.
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: Did Jackson, Oh Jaquindon pick those feeds up. Oh, he's
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: just like, oh, he just he should have scored right there.
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: But what a great play. And again it's that that's
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: really quick burst play on first down right up the middle,
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: of the field. Ja Gwinn to Jackson now.
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: At one hundred and six yards in the game and
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: one thousand for his Utah career. Nice Faki back in
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: into the U first Credit Union red zone. Go to you,
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: Sparns is gonna pass it. He's looking throwing. Baki's got it.
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: Se only to the ten. She only did the five?
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: See only did the pilot touchdown?
- 1:37:51Speaker 3: Bo see only Faky does it again?
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: This is wrong? Like that play right there was sick.
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: He runs a little it's it's a little angle route, right,
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: It's just it's just like five yards. But what an
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: unbelievable awareness by Sioni Vaki where he goes, Nope, I'm
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: gonna go out. Man. That looked like Barry Sanders. I'm
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: not gonna lie this, dude. He is real. You're telling
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: you Vaki is the real deal.
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: Wow, Pat coming here for cole Becker to make it
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: a two touchdown lead for Utah.
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: It's up and it's good. Wow.
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: Utah has stumbled upon a weapon and a weapon that
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: is punishing the California schools in back to back weeks.
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: Time out on the field, three twenty eight to play
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: in the third it's Utah twenty eight and USC fourteen,
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: five plays, fifty five yards, two fifty off the game clock,
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: a touchdown from us by si Oni Vaki his second tonight,
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: see only. Vaki's got four catches for one hundred and
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: thirteen yards and two touchdowns. He's the first one hundred
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: yard receiver this year for Utah and he's a safety.
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: He's also got six carries for forty yards. Pretty impressive
- 1:39:02Speaker 2: in Utah. Still a lot of time here, Scott, but
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: they're up two scores late to third.
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: Yeah, but just an outstanding you know, design, a great
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: call in the right moment. And Sioni Vaki, man, he's
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: a playmate. You put your playmakers on the field and
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: you get the ball in their hands. That was just
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: a good thing. And that's why you do it. Like
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: coaching is in hard, find your good players and get
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: them the ball. It's that simple.
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: Here we go, Chase Carter said to kick it to
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch, who nearly broke it went the distance last time.
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: Chase will kick it this time high end over end,
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: but short. Branch will return it from his own four
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: yard line. Zachariah Branch up the middle. Zachariah Branch tackled
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: and about the twenty one yard line. Good coverage on
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: the kick that time by Utah and Zachariah Branch limited
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: on another return, it'll be an eighty yard field for
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: the twenty yard line for Caleb Williams of the USC offense.
- 1:39:56Speaker 2: Who don't look a lot like the USC offense we
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: saw the two games last year.
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: Do they?
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: No?
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: And now and now you're down by a couple of scores.
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: You know, are you gonna Are you gonna press again?
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: Are you?
- 1:40:06Speaker 6: You know?
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: It's just it's just not a it's not a situation
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: a front running team is comfortable with. They don't know
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: how to come back from behind in a game.
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: Empty backfield on first and ten from the twenty five
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: wide receivers in the pattern here for Caleb Williams. He
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: stands alone in the shotgun from his own twenty yard line.
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: Snap back pass rush coming, Williams throws complete to about
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: the twenty five and twenty seven yard line. Taj Washington
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: makes the grab and it gave him about six and
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: a half on first down.
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: As we come up on three minutes to play here
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Yeah, and that's a soft spot
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: in the when you have three wide receivers and empty backfield,
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: that inside receivers open a lot empty backfield.
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: Again, five wide, this time for Caleb Williams. Utah will
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: again rush four snap back. Here comes the rush. Williams
- 1:40:53Speaker 2: is gonna scramble to the outside. Flag flies down the field,
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: passing complete. We've got not one but two holding penalties.
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: One's going to be on Utah and one's going.
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: To be on US seats.
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: They were intending that pass for Brendan Rice. We've got
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: to hold down the field here, and we've got a
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: hold in the backfield against us C.
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: Unfortunate too, because the pass was just not anywhere close
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: to where it should have been. Here's our referee, Mike McCabe.
- 1:41:20Speaker 6: Fells by both teams on the play, Holding offense number
- 1:41:25Speaker 6: seventy nine, holding defense number seventeen. Those ponies offset replay
- 1:41:32Speaker 6: second dout.
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: Smith Stoughton's seen a little action in the ball game
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: here today, the freshman out of Utah County. So the
- 1:41:38Speaker 2: offsetting penalties make it second down and three again.
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: Actually it was not seventeen, it was fifteen. Tao Johnson
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: and Tato's been really good. You know, I'm not typical
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: of him to do that.
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: Here we go four wide on second and three back
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: in the backfield. Austin Jones, Caleb Williams in the shotgun,
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: checks with the sideline, and he'll keep the play play
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: action flies flags flight of the outside, and it's going
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: to be movement against USC.
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: And they're probably thankful for that because prior to the snouts.
- 1:42:08Speaker 6: All start number seventy offense five yard pinel winner play
- 1:42:13Speaker 6: second all in second.
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: Down, Emmanuel Pregnant the transfer from Wyoming gets called for that,
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: so second and three becomes second and eight, and the
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: clock will begin to run.
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: Here upon the.
- 1:42:23Speaker 6: Stato off writer Bruise restore the game clock.
- 1:42:25Speaker 5: The two five zero lies.
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: Empty backfield.
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: On second down and eight Williams all by himself, five
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: wide receivers spread the field. Here for USC, what do
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: we have now? They're going to reset the play clock,
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: maybe game clock. Now it's a two fifty.
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: Here we go. Everybody said, everybody good, should we bring
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: it in? Nope?
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: Ready to go second down an eight and a half
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: here for the Trojans from their own twenty one and
- 1:42:56Speaker 2: a half yard line. Williams by himself Utah with five
- 1:42:59Speaker 2: near the line of scrimmage. You're gonna play man across
- 1:43:02Speaker 2: the formation. Here are the utes. William surveys the defense
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: and back pedals to pass four man rush ball thrown
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: to the outside. Caught, but great coverage on the outside
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: there by I think Lander Bart. No, it was uh,
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: it was Bili Bockey.
- 1:43:21Speaker 1: No, it was Connor O'Toole, connorro' toole the defensive end. Yeah,
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: what a nice look there. It looked like he was
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: gonna rush and he only picked up about a yard. Yeah,
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: he almost picked it off. He's a great athlete now
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: a fold wide receiver. In high school. They have Connor
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: get on the jucks machine. He might have picked that
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: one on.
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: Two out of seven on third down of the Trojans.
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: They faced third down at seven from their own twenty
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: three substitutes coming on and off here Junior Tafuna in
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: for Utah.
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: Now Utah will send a sub off. They've got to
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: hold it here.
- 1:43:48Speaker 2: Play clock at six, play clock at five, play clock
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: at four. Caleb William's gonna need to take the stat now,
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: a time out taken by Lincoln Riley.
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: Great move by Utah.
- 1:43:57Speaker 5: First.
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: You can boo all you want, usc.
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: But we re started the substitution, and so Utah is
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: then allowed to sub and Utah just took his time
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: with those big defensive linemen and forced Lincoln Riley to
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: burn his first time out with two fourteen to play
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: here at the.
- 1:44:13Speaker 1: Third and again, those are the kinds of things that
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: just add to the aggravation. You know, just just make
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: Caleb Williams angry, make him just frustrated, make him any
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: possible way you can and uh. And that's that's just
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: the way to do it right there. What you can't
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: give up right now if you're Utah is the big
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: play you got. You've got to get pressure, but you
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: can't give up that big play. That's the way USC
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: gets back in this game. Quickly, make them earn it
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: if they're gonna get it right. And Utah has been
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: really really good in the secondary, uh, covering these route
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: these route patterns by USC that a lot of guys
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: have not been open, and you haven't seen guys blowing
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: it over the top of this defense.
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: And you just have it here we go, big third
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: down here for the Trojans, third down at seven for
- 1:44:59Speaker 2: USC for their twenty three. Utah has not gotten home
- 1:45:03Speaker 2: a bunch today, but they've gotten pressure on Williams.
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: Can they do it right here?
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: Five wide receivers in the pattern here for the Trojans,
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: Caleb by himself in the shotgun. Now they're gonna motion
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: a tight end back to the inside Lake McCree. Here
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: comes the pass rush on third down and seven, Williams
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: nowhere to go. Finally fires to the outside.
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: Is it caught?
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: It is just beyond the marker at the thirty two
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: yard line. The Brendan Rice did a good job coming back.
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: You did, didn't get enough pressure that time. Williams made
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: a pack.
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: No, that's really you know, it's tough because you really
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: have to keep him in the pocket. And it's hard
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: just every single down to ask this defense to cover.
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: But they've done a pretty darn good job. I mean,
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: plenty of time for that rush to get there.
- 1:45:45Speaker 2: Here we go first and ten USC from their own
- 1:45:47Speaker 2: thirty one and a half yard line, full house backfield
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: and a play action passed for Caleb Williams way down
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: the middle of the Field's got a man wide open, caught,
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: big play all the way down to the Utah twenty
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: six yard line.
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: That was Washington.
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: That was a busted coverage and that's the big play.
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: You couldn't afford to give up.
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: No, you really, and Utah has just been really good
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: at that and you're they're gonna get plays eventually. You
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: just can't give them, you know, a boatload of them
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: there and just you know, okay, they get up a
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: good play. Now you got to come back and answer
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: and get to the quarterback.
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: First and tended to Utah twenty eight yard line for
- 1:46:20Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and the Trojans would have been a ten
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: to play here at the third trailing by twenty eight
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: to fourteen. Here we go Williams to pass again, throwing
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: the ball deep toward the end zone up and caught
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: it out of bounds incomplete good fade to the quarter
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: of that time. The receiver had a step it was
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: Michael Jackson had a flag down on the play. What's
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: this going to be?
- 1:46:44Speaker 6: And Elismore receiver downfield number fifty two offense, five yard
- 1:46:49Speaker 6: penalties replay first out.
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pretty good call. I mean, they ran
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: it's a running play and he has an option, you know,
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: and basically had one on one man coverage and he
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: took a shot off a running play. But it was
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: it was one that kind of you know, a little
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: bit longer developing in that lineman thinks he thinks it's
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: a run, So I don't know any better.
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: Here we go first in fifteen back into Utah thirty
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: three with fifty nine seconds to play in the third quarter,
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: Utah twenty eight USC fourteen, Austin Jones in the backfield,
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: tight end to three wide receivers for Williams Utah with
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: a spread look up front. Now they're going to try
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: and get up field, throw pass inside and it's knocked
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: down and incomplete. Is that junior Tafuna that got his
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: hand on at that time? Nope, it was to be
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: a Foe two who got his hand on at that
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: time to beat a back in action this week, got
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: his big pause up and knocked it down. Second down
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: in fifteen six seconds, come off the clock, fifty three
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: to play here the.
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: Third Yeah, and you really got this defensive front that
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: you know is about as healthy and as fresh as
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: it possibly can be. And here comes that substitution again.
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: Here we go Utah taking its time getting its subs
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: on and off the field. Here Peppa coming out play
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: clock at ten. Fans can boo all they want them's
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: the rules. Second down at fifteen, Williams throws the flanker
- 1:48:05Speaker 2: screen to the outside, caught immediately and dropped immediately after
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: a short game of about six to the twenty eight
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: maybe twenty seven. Dorian Singer with a second catch tonight
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: Arizona transfer makes it third down at nine as we
- 1:48:17Speaker 2: dip under forty seconds to play here.
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: The third You know, Utah has covered this well in
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: this game, but uns See Stills throws those flanker screens.
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: Sc three out of eight on third down. They converted
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: on the last one. Utah subbing, taking their time subbing
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: here as they can. Now they'll get players on and
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: off the field.
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: They'll hold the snap nineteen eighteen seventeen.
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: Seconds, play clock at ten Williams and the shotgun. Third
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: down at nine, Utah and the neutral's own flags lie
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: free play.
- 1:48:46Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, He's gonna take a shot down the field.
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: It's caught. Touchdown, huh, and that might be offensive pass interference.
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: We'll see what this is. Yep, offensive pass interference. It's
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: no touchdown, but it will be off offset and calls.
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: So we have third down and nine again.
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really good coverence right there, Oh, Connor,
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: he's just a little bit excited. Two fouls. Wow, clearly
- 1:49:16Speaker 1: catches a break. Yeah, a huge break.
- 1:49:17Speaker 5: Fouls by both.
- 1:49:18Speaker 6: Teams on the play normally outside defense number ten as
- 1:49:25Speaker 6: interference offense ready one was offside.
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: We play third out, got the numbers east up. It
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: was eighty one that was offside. It was ten Kyron
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: Hudson who committed the offense and pass interference.
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: So we'll do it again.
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: Third and nine with seven seconds to play here in
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: the third quarter from the Utah twenty eight yard.
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: Line, probably two down territory. I would think you.
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: Would think, here we go third down and nine, Williams
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: and the gun. Three receivers in the pattern. Will Utah
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: bring pressure or rush just four Williams is gonna chang
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: us to play now with Austin Jones in the backfield.
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: With him here, might run it here. We'll see.
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: If it's four down territory, they may play action pass
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: for Williams. Lots of time surveys the field thrown down
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: the field incomplete, it was tipped, it was tipped to
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage and incomplete. One second remains. Fourth
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: and nine coming up, and I'm guessing Lincoln Riley is
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: gonna go for this on fourth and nine down two touchdowns.
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: Nope, he's not.
- 1:50:28Speaker 2: He's gonna bring the field goal team out and this
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: is gonna be a long field goal for Dennis Lynch.
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: He's hit from fifty three this year. This one will be.
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: Calling about a forty five forty four yard field goal
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: from the right hand.
- 1:50:42Speaker 1: Lynch, a left footed kicker. See if they fake this.
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: Snap back kick is away, it's high, it's end over end,
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: and it is good. So the final play of the
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: third quarter results in a field goal for the U
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: S Trojans. We head to the fourth quarter here in
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: Los Angeles.
- 1:51:04Speaker 1: In the third quarter.
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: Utah leading USC twenty eight to seventeen are broadcast tonight,

- 1:51:28Speaker 2: A big fourth quarter ahead here in LA as we
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: head to the fourth, forty five minutes of the books
- 1:51:34Speaker 2: fifteen remained. Utah twenty eight, USC seventeen. I'm Bill Riley.
- 1:51:37Speaker 2: That's Scott Mitchell. As we head to the fourth quarter
- 1:51:40Speaker 2: here in southern California, time for Utah to go witness thing.
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: Scott, don't don't expect your defense to carry the way.
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: Now, if you're the offense, go winness they put another
- 1:51:49Speaker 2: touchdown on the board.
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: You absolutely have to. No one's gonna give you these games.
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: And there you play it all the way to the
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: very end, and you play to win it, and you
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: go win the football game. And where Utah's really won
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: is on early downs offensively, and USC is going to
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: try to stop that on this on this very first possession.
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: To look for run, blitz, look for you know, and
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: and and it's really uh, you know, pressure. They're gonna
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: go pressure on first down, So call up a play
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: that gets you, that helps you beat that pressure. They're
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: going to try to stop the run right here on
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: this first place.
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: I would keep an eye out for an onside kick
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: here too. Yeah, I'm just saying you're down eleven points.
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: I wouldn't put anything past Lincoln Riley at this point
- 1:52:32Speaker 2: in time. By the way, you toskout one hundred yard
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: rush tonight. You went to Jackson one hundred and six
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: yards now he's got exactly a thousand for his Utah career.
- 1:52:40Speaker 2: And Sioni Baki after rushing for one hundred and fifty
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: six a week ago and two touchdowns, he's caught one
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen yards tonight and has two touchdowns.
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: Yeah, he's you know, he's a dual threat, multi faceted guy.
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: You know, he's he's instant offense and he's it's a special,
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: unique player that has some instincts. You know, you just
- 1:53:01Speaker 1: you just pray that more players had, you know, just
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: watching him do things this early and his instinct with
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: it is just really really impressive to me. Well, if
- 1:53:13Speaker 1: you guys chose to stay in tonight and listen to
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: our broadcast, I uh I think you made a good
- 1:53:19Speaker 1: choice tonight. This has been an entertaining game. Thank you
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: for everybody tuning in.
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: Got some shout outs to come here tonight, great supporters
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: of our broadcast.
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: Eddie CHAPLINZK. He's got to teed up in.
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: His own thirty five, puts his left foot into it,
- 1:53:35Speaker 2: tie an end over end. Mikey Matthew's gonna bring it
- 1:53:38Speaker 2: out for the one yard line. Matthews fifteen to the
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: twenty Mikey Matthews to the twenty two to twenty three
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: yard line driven backwards. That's a terrible spot. That is
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: a terrible that he got to the twenty two almost
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: twenty three yard line and they market it the twenty
- 1:53:53Speaker 2: one yard line, by the way. Third quarter tonight, Utah
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: ran fourteen plays, wow, and two touchdown.
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: That's the horrible spot. That's a really terrible spot. Seventy
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: nine yard field for Bryce and Barnes in the Utah offense.
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: One quarter to goo.
- 1:54:09Speaker 2: Utah leads at twenty eight to seventeen chick Whyndon Jackson
- 1:54:15Speaker 2: in the ball game?
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: Good to see. I think money Parks is back. That's
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: good news too for Utah.
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: Two receivers right, one to the left at a tight
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: end Mickey Suga Daroga JJ trying to add to his
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: total tonight, turning to give it to him, Jackson tripped up.
- 1:54:30Speaker 2: All goodness, somebody missed the block on that right side.
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: Solomon Bird made the tackle. If he doesn't get tripped
- 1:54:37Speaker 2: up there, he's bouncing that out for a big game.
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: Yeah. That that just should have been a big play there,
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: And you know that's it's just so critical to make
- 1:54:43Speaker 1: those plays right here, and so now they're gonna get
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: second down, and you're gonna get blitz from usc because
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: they just want to get you in third and long
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: and Utah is gonna try to run it here.
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: And Michael Mokapisi missed that block. Otherwise that's a big game.
- 1:54:59Speaker 2: Second down ten for the twenty one, Waki in the backfield,
- 1:55:04Speaker 2: Baki's gonna keep it himself. Sione picks his way forward
- 1:55:07Speaker 2: and he doesn't get anything lost a yard back to
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: the twenty. What do you make of that play call, Scott.
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: I just it's just what I said. I mean, they're
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: gonna come after you here. They you know, they've eight
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: nine guys at the line of scrimmage. They know you're
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: gonna run the football here and and it now it
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: puts you in third and eleven. You know, you got
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: to call a different play right there, just too well.
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: But the problem is you don't have a quarterback to
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: change the play. You've got your running back and they're
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: running wildcats, so you can't change out of it. But yeah,
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: third down and eleven, you tah one for one this
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: half to out of seven in the ball game. They've
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: got to get after the thirty one Barns out of
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: the shotgun. The USC is gonna rush four here off
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: the edge. Here they come firing down the field.
- 1:55:48Speaker 1: Picked off. That's gonna be returned for a touchdown. Kaaling Bullock.
- 1:55:53Speaker 2: Oh, Bryce is for one thing you couldn't do. It's
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: a pick six for Kaylon Bullock one yards.
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: If we've got a ball game once again. I mean,
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: he threw it. I don't know what he's thinking here.
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: Everyone's dropping off and he's just just, you know, kind
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: of stares down a guy and you know, just they
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: just basically run a bunch of sceam routes right there.
- 1:56:15Speaker 1: A guy who was open was on the outside. I mean,
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: just not a good look right there.
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: They're gonna go for two to try to make it
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: a three point game. The one thing you just couldn't do,
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: Utah just did and we're back of the ball game again.
- 1:56:30Speaker 2: Twenty eight to twenty three to two point conversion coming here.
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't like the sequence of the
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: plays right there, because you know it, you just you
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: just put a young, inexperienced quarterback in.
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: Caleb Williams in the shotgun takes the snap in back pedals,
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: pressure coming in his face. He is gonna be chased
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: throws to the end zone incomplete. Great pressure up the
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: middle of that time by Utah. It was Jonah Ellis
- 1:56:56Speaker 2: who forced it two point conversion.
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: No good.
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: Utah's lead is but it's a one score game again
- 1:57:02Speaker 2: here at the coliseum after the pig six Rice and
- 1:57:05Speaker 2: will have a chance to make amends when we get
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: back thirteen twenty eight to play here at the coliseum.
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: Utah twenty eight and USC twenty three. Oh, I've got
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: a ball game again. Momentum a funny thing. It switched quickly.
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: USC has it back. Utah up by five with thirteen
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: twenty eight to play the ball game. They'll get the
- 1:57:25Speaker 2: ball back here. A couple of shout outs tonight a
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: couple of the hardest working guys on that Utah equipment staff.
- 1:57:31Speaker 2: Games would be the same without him, cr King England
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: truck drivers Kat Lundberg and Don Baker. Those guys are
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: awesome and they help our guy Alonso out a ton
- 1:57:38Speaker 2: And take a shout out to Brian Kilpatrick too listening
- 1:57:42Speaker 2: in Sandy, Utah tonight.
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: Brian, thanks for being such a big fan and thanks
- 1:57:46Speaker 1: for listening to the broadcast tonight. I'm Bill Riley.
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: Scott Mitchell's here slides downstairs. Now, how does Utah respond
- 1:57:54Speaker 2: to adversity? This is the first real big adversity they've
- 1:57:57Speaker 2: had here tonight.
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: No question. And you know, you've you have had so
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: much momentum and you've kind of lost your hair a
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: little bit. And again I'm telling you, you've got to
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: go play to win this game. So don't panic, but
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: do things the us he's not gonna expect right now.
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: So throw it on early downs. Second down is a
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: play you gotta throw it. You run it way too often.
- 1:58:17Speaker 2: Kick high and short. Mikey Matthews is going to take
- 1:58:20Speaker 2: it from the two yard line. Mikey is going to
- 1:58:23Speaker 2: be dropped.
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: Back of the eleven.
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: It's going for bad, the worst right now. Mike, you
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: should have just spare caught that ball. Yeah, it was
- 1:58:30Speaker 2: hanging too high to get a good return on it.
- 1:58:32Speaker 1: Then, you know, as a coach, you just you need
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: to tell him that before he goes out on the field,
- 1:58:36Speaker 1: you know, because he's the guy that's trying to make
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: things happen. Right here. The difference between the twenty five
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: and the twelve is huge, is massive, Yeah, and it's
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: just it's it's massive psychologically for a team. O. Baki's
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: in the ball game here for Utah. Let's see if
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: that offensive line can get physical open some stuff up
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: in the run game. Baki next to Barnes.
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: Two tights to two wides on first and ten for
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: the twelve yard line, early fourth quarter at the Poliseum.
- 1:59:03Speaker 2: Barnes to pass on first down, rice and looking taking
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: a shot down the field. He's got Boky up there.
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: Caught forty five and down near the fifty yard line.
- 1:59:12Speaker 3: Another wheel round and.
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: Another big play just see Onivaki. See isn't it smart
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: when people listen to me, I'm telling you I know
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: this stuff. Okay, throw it on early downs they're expecting
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: you to run it. It's it's a great call right there,
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: changes everything. That's a less than humble Bragg if you're just,
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: if you're asking, it's just the truth. First and ten
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: for the forty eight.
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: A big play to begin pigs here on this drive
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: one Utah needed to Kwindon Jackson in the ball game.
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: Strength to the left hand side, sc crowding the line
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: now turning a give to Kwindon Jackson picking his way
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: forward into the secondary second level and into USC territory
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: and down to about the forty seven yard line for
- 1:59:50Speaker 2: a gain of five.
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: He paused, he waited, and then picked up five. Yeah.
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: And if he you know, if he follows his blocker
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: and just hits it right now, he's gonna pop right
- 1:59:59Speaker 1: through that hole, little little hesitant. It's a good play
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: that played before though, I mean it was a it
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: was a money throw by Bryson, and you really was
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: you throw an interception and you want to see a quarterback,
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: you know, talk about being tough, come back the next
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: play and hit a huge play.
- 2:00:15Speaker 2: Here we go second and five for the SC forty seven.
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: JJ stays in the ball game, Barnes under center SC
- 2:00:23Speaker 2: with five of the line Bryce and changing the play
- 2:00:25Speaker 2: with four on the play clock, turning a give to JJ.
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: Picking his way forward again, stays on his feet, picks
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: up about two to the forty six. It'll be third
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: down and we'll call it about three and a half
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: almost four.
- 2:00:37Speaker 1: Yeah, And I you know, a really good play right
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: there in that situation is that boot you know, the
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: boot leg that hit money Parks on early in the game.
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: You know, that's a good one to come back.
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: To JJ out jleb Glover in on third down and
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: about four clock at eleven and a half to play
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: Utah in a league, but perilously here at twenty eight
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: third twenty three, three receivers left, two to the right,
- 2:01:01Speaker 2: empty backfield for Bryson Barnes. USC is gonna rush five
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: here they come. Bryson's gonna keep it himself. Bryson pushes
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: the pile forward and he's got first down yardage to
- 2:01:10Speaker 2: the forty one yard line he needed for He got
- 2:01:12Speaker 2: five move those chains. It's a first mile first down
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: for Utah to drive.
- 2:01:17Speaker 1: Stays alive. Yeah, And you know USC played coverage right there.
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: And it's big when your quarterback can make a first
- 2:01:23Speaker 1: down in a situation like that. It's hard. That's hard
- 2:01:25Speaker 1: to defend and to be able to do that with
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: Bryce and it's a it's a good thing to have.
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: And he's you know, he's really stepped up his game
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: running the football for this team.
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: See Ony Vaki back of the ball game for Utah
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: and first and then for the sc forty one yard line.
- 2:01:41Speaker 2: Three receivers in Vaki in the backfield. They motioned a
- 2:01:45Speaker 2: man across they hand it to Vaki. Baki's got the
- 2:01:48Speaker 2: edge here he goes forty thirty five thirty twenty five
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: back to the inside twenty and down to the sc
- 2:01:53Speaker 2: eighteen yard line.
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: Go see ony, Vaki, What a run? What a run?
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: Twenty twenty three yards into the U first Credit Union
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: red zone, goes Vaki.
- 2:02:03Speaker 1: I hope you can appreciate this if you're a fan
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: watching this, to get to beat the leverage, and to
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: do it from so far away, I mean, he had
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: to run so far to get that first down. And
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: these are athletes, you know. He is running. And the
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: other thing I like is he cut back against the
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: grain instead of running out of bounds because it keeps,
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: although the clock probably still would run if he ran
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: out of bounce.
- 2:02:24Speaker 2: Into the U First Credit Union red zone, goes Utah
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: JJ Back at the ball game, first and ten, two
- 2:02:29Speaker 2: tights and two wides for the utes, turn.
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: In a GiB?
- 2:02:32Speaker 2: Did you Gwyndon Jackson? Straight ahead running pushes the pile
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: gets to about the fifteen for a game of three,
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: as we did under ten to play here at the Coliseum.
- 2:02:43Speaker 2: Five catches one hundred and forty nine yards for Vaki.
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: Eight rushes sixty two yards.
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: For Vaky and oh yeah, he's got to tackle with
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: the ball game too. Boy, if you have a bootleg,
- 2:02:53Speaker 1: run right right here. This is a good good time
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: to call it.
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: I like the money parks fly sweep too, but to
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: the far side. Get the speed on the edge. We'll
- 2:03:02Speaker 2: see what they can do here. They break the huddle
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: with twelve of the play clock. Baki back of the
- 2:03:08Speaker 2: ball game, cha quindon Jackson the wildcat, jjing keeps it
- 2:03:15Speaker 2: straight ahead. Not much there, got maybe a yard maybe
- 2:03:18Speaker 2: a half yard third down coming up as we come
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: up on nine minutes to play. Here from the fifteen
- 2:03:26Speaker 2: almost fourteen yard line. Baki and JJ check out.
- 2:03:32Speaker 1: Of the ball game.
- 2:03:33Speaker 2: Here, Barnes back in on third down. Utah two of
- 2:03:36Speaker 2: three this half, three of nine.
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: Of the ball game.
- 2:03:40Speaker 2: Charlie, Vincent's your back. Charlie can catch it coming out
- 2:03:42Speaker 2: of the backfield. Let's see if they can get the
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: east high leopard involved here, empty backfield now five wide
- 2:03:49Speaker 2: across the formation. Barnes by himself. Now they'll bring Vincent
- 2:03:53Speaker 2: back in with five of the play clock. Sc brings pressure.
- 2:03:56Speaker 2: Bryson looks. Bryson throws over the middling complete. He tried
- 2:03:59Speaker 2: to ple use that into Charlie Vincent had no chance,
- 2:04:02Speaker 2: no chance at all. That'll bring up fourth down and
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: the field goal team will come out here for Utah
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: to try and put them up by eight with eight
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: twenty eight to play.
- 2:04:10Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the play that's supposed to go to
- 2:04:12Speaker 1: Siony Vake and USC read that really well, and you know,
- 2:04:17Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know that that's the best
- 2:04:20Speaker 1: call I'd call in that situation.
- 2:04:21Speaker 2: Cole Becker on to attempt a thirty three yard field
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: goal to transfer from Colorado. It's a big kick here
- 2:04:27Speaker 2: for Utah out of the hold of bow me s
- 2:04:31Speaker 2: good snap, good kick, it's away, it's up, and it
- 2:04:34Speaker 2: is good. He splits the uprights with eight twenty four
- 2:04:38Speaker 2: to play. Here are the ball games, and Utah's lead
- 2:04:41Speaker 2: goes from five to eight. With eight twenty four to play,
- 2:04:44Speaker 2: we've got a time out on the field from the
- 2:04:46Speaker 2: Big Old Tires broadcast booth at the LA Coliseum.
- 2:04:50Speaker 1: We have got a dandy.
- 2:04:51Speaker 2: If this is the final time these two teams get
- 2:04:53Speaker 2: together for a while, they're giving us their money's worth.
- 2:04:56Speaker 2: Utah thirty one and USC twenty three point you're never
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: a bad thing, and in a tight game, you'll take
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: those points to go up eight thirty one to twenty
- 2:05:04Speaker 2: three Utah. That last scoring drive I'd played seventy three yards.
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: He took almost five minutes off the clock, and Cole
- 2:05:12Speaker 2: Becker knocked threw a thirty three yard field goal to
- 2:05:14Speaker 2: make it thirty one to twenty three. Now, the defense,
- 2:05:17Speaker 2: who's been really good tonight against Caleb Williams, can they
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: come up with a big stop here, Scott, because a
- 2:05:22Speaker 2: stop would be huge for this Utah team.
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: Oh, it's massive. And of course, I mean, you stop
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: them here and you know you have an upper hand
- 2:05:29Speaker 1: on the game. But it's so so important. We talked
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: about they can't get those chunk, big plays to USC
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: you know in this in this situation here, you got
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: to you gotta make him earn everything. And I just
- 2:05:41Speaker 1: I just feel they gotta. They kind of have to
- 2:05:43Speaker 1: get after Caleb Williams with that front four pressure just
- 2:05:46Speaker 1: just a little bit more than maybe they have been.
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: Is there a thought of bringing a fifth guy instead
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: of just four?
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: You know they have that, you know that NASCAR package.
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: I don't know if they have it this year, but doesn't.
- 2:05:59Speaker 2: Hurt Chase harder to kick it on from his own
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: thirty five. Zachariah Branch waits on it and Zachariah is
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: going to return this from his own seven short kick.
- 2:06:07Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch trying to get to the outside. Zachariah Branch
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: stays on his feet, but he's going nowhere. He's dropped
- 2:06:13Speaker 2: back of his own thirteen yard line. The kick wasn't great,
- 2:06:16Speaker 2: but the coverage was outstanding for Utah, and a long
- 2:06:18Speaker 2: field coming here for USC. Down eight with eight seventeen
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: to play in the ball game. Yeah, running laterally never
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: gets you anywhere, even when you're elite like Zachariah Branch.
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: Britten Allen, by the way, the former USC trojan has
- 2:06:30Speaker 2: made two big special teams tackles here tonight against his
- 2:06:32Speaker 2: old team.
- 2:06:34Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always good to represent against your old mates.
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: Eighty seven yard field for Caleb Williams.
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: He's got a back of the backfield and three wide
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: receivers split wide to the right hand side. On first
- 2:06:45Speaker 2: and ten and out of the shotgun, Williams will backpedal
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: to pass throw the ball to the outside. It's caught
- 2:06:50Speaker 2: by Brandon Rice. Tackle missed by Utah. Rice stays on
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: his feet and gets all the way to the twenty
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: five yard line. Terrible tackling that time by Utah. Not
- 2:06:58Speaker 2: sure missed on the first one, but he picks up
- 2:07:01Speaker 2: twelve in the first down. Hurry up offense, here coming
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: for the USC Trojans. They're gonna drop to pass again.
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: Caleb looking looking hick from behind and dropped outstanding effort
- 2:07:15Speaker 2: from the weak side that time. Guess who Jonah ellis
- 2:07:18Speaker 2: with another sack for Utah three yard loss or third
- 2:07:21Speaker 2: sack tonight?
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: Third sack tonight. Well, that's a huge sack of those
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: when you come from behind the quarterback man, you gotta
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: try to strip that ball out because he doesn't see you.
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: And those are those you know, take advantage moments. Oh,
- 2:07:32Speaker 1: here comes the substitution.
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: Here we go Utah substituting a big defensive lineman, Aliki
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: via Maahe comes in and Junior Tafuna comes out. Second
- 2:07:42Speaker 2: down in sixteen here for USC from eearl nineteen. Williams
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: by himself in the shotgun here claps takes the snap
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: pressure coming straight up the middle on Caleb. Williams now
- 2:07:55Speaker 2: he's gonna scramble and try to make something out of nothing,
- 2:07:57Speaker 2: and he will looking down the field, He's gonna run.
- 2:08:00Speaker 2: Caleb Williams will be knocked out of bounds. Shy a
- 2:08:04Speaker 2: first down yardage and about the thirty thirty one yard line.
- 2:08:08Speaker 2: It'll be third down at about four coming up.
- 2:08:10Speaker 1: J T.
- 2:08:10Speaker 2: Brotton forced him out. Utah had two cracks at him,
- 2:08:12Speaker 2: couldn't get him.
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: And I'm telling you Caleb Williams does not want to run.
- 2:08:16Speaker 1: I mean, he should have run right there, probably would
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: have gained twenty yards.
- 2:08:19Speaker 2: Here we go, third down and four for the usc
- 2:08:21Speaker 2: Trojans got to get to their own thirty five six
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: forty five to play the ballgame. Utah by eight thirty
- 2:08:26Speaker 2: one to twenty three. Williams again by himself again a
- 2:08:29Speaker 2: four man rush. Here comes Jonah Ellis. Jonah Ellis flushing
- 2:08:33Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams stepping up, Caleb Williams trying to
- 2:08:36Speaker 2: get to the outside, throws down the field cart Oh
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: my gosh, what a play. Dorian Singer atte midfield. He
- 2:08:44Speaker 2: was just about to be sacked and he made it
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: the completion for a first down. That's what Caleb Williams
- 2:08:51Speaker 2: can do. That's why you've got to get home. When
- 2:08:53Speaker 2: you get to him first intendant midfield, they'll say, just
- 2:08:56Speaker 2: shy of midfield. At forty seven, Williams again operated out
- 2:09:00Speaker 2: of the shotgun. Utah again just rushing four on Caleb Williams.
- 2:09:07Speaker 2: Four receivers in a back six and a half to play,
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: clock stopped. Colaps takes the snap, hand off straight ahead.
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: That's Austin Jones, and Jones picks up about five to
- 2:09:19Speaker 2: the Utah forty five yard line, actually seven to the
- 2:09:21Speaker 2: Utah forty five yard line.
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not something they're gonna, you know, win
- 2:09:26Speaker 1: the game on is running the ball. I mean they're
- 2:09:27Speaker 1: gonna put the ball on Caleb Williams hands and throw it.
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: Here we go, another quick snap, another hand off to Jones.
- 2:09:33Speaker 2: Jones with first down yardage now to the Utah thirty eight.
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: Moved the chains, tem bow herding Utah a bit. Here's
- 2:09:41Speaker 2: we dip under six minutes.
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: To play the ball.
- 2:09:43Speaker 2: Games the eight point lead perilous right now. Five receivers
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: this time for Caleb Williams. Utah is gonna run a
- 2:09:56Speaker 2: guy off the field here as a late substitution, four
- 2:09:59Speaker 2: man down f they have not brought much pressure besides
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: the four. Here today Williams stands alone in the backfield,
- 2:10:08Speaker 2: Utah to rush four.
- 2:10:09Speaker 1: Here they come.
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: Williams back pedals, pressure coming, he steps, fires, throws and
- 2:10:15Speaker 2: caught wow Taj Washington.
- 2:10:17Speaker 1: Into thirty one. That coverage was good. Now, that throw
- 2:10:21Speaker 1: was better. The catch even better than that.
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: Tempo again here for USC second down in four from
- 2:10:26Speaker 2: the Utah thirty two, four receivers.
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: This time.
- 2:10:32Speaker 2: William stands alone in the shotgun looking firing to the
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: outside complete.
- 2:10:37Speaker 1: He's got his man.
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: Williams up the sideline, out of bounds at the Utah thirteen.
- 2:10:42Speaker 1: They'll market at the fourteen.
- 2:10:43Speaker 2: That one was too easy to Mario Williams and USC
- 2:10:47Speaker 2: with five minutes to play, threatening to get in the
- 2:10:50Speaker 2: end zone and try and tie this game up.
- 2:10:52Speaker 1: Yeah, and this pass rush has just been to kind
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: of contain him in the pocket, but too passive on
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: the coverage in the secondary. And it's it's just those
- 2:11:01Speaker 1: are just easy, short, quick throws and it just makes
- 2:11:04Speaker 1: it impossible to get to him.
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: That's why Morgan's got to think about bringing maybe a
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: little bit more pressure. Utah's gonna have to hurry and
- 2:11:11Speaker 2: get their guy off the field right here. Oh, that
- 2:11:16Speaker 2: could have been twelve men on the field. He'll backpedal
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: to pass pressure coming up the middle.
- 2:11:20Speaker 4: He dumps it off and it's caught and drop ball
- 2:11:23Speaker 4: is loose and out and incomplete.
- 2:11:25Speaker 2: They blew up Brendon Rice at the sixteen yard line.
- 2:11:29Speaker 2: They blought the pressure. That was Lander Barton right up
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: the middle that time nearly got to it, and that
- 2:11:33Speaker 2: was down coming up. Cool Bishop on the hit right
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: there again.
- 2:11:36Speaker 1: That's you know, maybe they need to dial up some
- 2:11:40Speaker 1: more pressure here because that's what's really getting to Caleb
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: where he's you know, he's just so used to sitting
- 2:11:44Speaker 1: in the pocket and now he's got to make that
- 2:11:46Speaker 1: throw early.
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: Second down to ten for the Utah, fourteen for the Trojans,
- 2:11:50Speaker 2: trailing thirty one to twenty three, four thirty one to
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: play in the ball game. Williams in the gun, Jones
- 2:11:56Speaker 2: next to it. Utah going to rush four right here.
- 2:12:01Speaker 2: Williams claps and takes the snap to laid hand off.
- 2:12:03Speaker 1: Nope, yep, it is to Jones and he pushes forward,
- 2:12:06Speaker 1: stays on his feet inside the ten and.
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: Down to the eight yard line. Third down at about
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: four coming up. Well, they looked like they had him
- 2:12:13Speaker 2: at the line and then two yards pass. But he
- 2:12:14Speaker 2: kept those lakes.
- 2:12:15Speaker 1: Moving and you get those long drives. Those defensive linemen
- 2:12:18Speaker 1: they get tired.
- 2:12:20Speaker 2: Here we go, third down and four from the Utah eight,
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: coming up on four minutes to play in an eight
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: point game, Trojan's four out of ten on third down,
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: three receivers a back at a tight end for Caleb
- 2:12:32Speaker 2: Williams Utah to rush four. They check with the sideline,
- 2:12:37Speaker 2: They keep the play. They motion the man around and
- 2:12:40Speaker 2: out of the backfield. Caleb Williams firing throwing balls out,
- 2:12:43Speaker 2: balls out.
- 2:12:45Speaker 1: Who's got it?
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: They say, Williams fell on it all the way back
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: of the nineteen yard lines. And that'll bring up fourth
- 2:12:52Speaker 2: down in really long here. What's Lincoln Riley gonna opt
- 2:12:55Speaker 2: to do? He might have to keep his offense off
- 2:12:58Speaker 2: the field, as we've got three and a half the play, Well,
- 2:13:01Speaker 2: he's only got two ton Nope, he's gonna bring the
- 2:13:02Speaker 2: field goal team out, try to make it a one
- 2:13:05Speaker 2: score game. Once again, it's it's fourth down and fifteen
- 2:13:10Speaker 2: to go.
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: You have to wonder. You know I was gonna bring
- 2:13:13Speaker 1: it up earlier, but you get at the sea level
- 2:13:15Speaker 1: and you get that kind of wet ball because it
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: just slipped out of his hands. Yep, here we go.
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: Field goal right down the middle of the park for
- 2:13:22Speaker 2: Dennis Lynch thirty six yard attempt. Hold is there, kick
- 2:13:27Speaker 2: is away, It's up and it is good. Three to
- 2:13:31Speaker 2: zero three to play.
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: Utah thirty one, USC twenty six.
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: Utah will have a chance to close it out and
- 2:13:40Speaker 2: win it with their offense when we get back that
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: last USC's scoring drive twelve playing sixty eight yards by
- 2:13:48Speaker 2: fourteen off the game clock, but they couldn't pay it
- 2:13:50Speaker 2: off with a touchdown, just a field goal, and if
- 2:13:53Speaker 2: Utah's Keano Tonavasa was able to fall on that ball,
- 2:13:57Speaker 2: it might be game over right now. Instead, the Utah
- 2:14:00Speaker 2: offense sly is gonna have to come out here get
- 2:14:02Speaker 2: some first downs to win this game.
- 2:14:04Speaker 3: Yeah, great job by that defense that's stepping up, Kayleb Williams.
- 2:14:07Speaker 3: Is canny momentum driving the ball down the field. But
- 2:14:10Speaker 3: the signs of great defense isn't being able to get
- 2:14:12Speaker 3: stops in the red zone. That's exactly what they did there.
- 2:14:14Speaker 3: Still a five point game, got a hands. Team's probably
- 2:14:17Speaker 3: gonna come out here because two time outs by USC
- 2:14:21Speaker 3: isn't gonna.
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: Get it done.
- 2:14:22Speaker 3: But yes, still offensively, I would still be aggressive. He
- 2:14:25Speaker 3: still need two more first downs to put this game away.
- 2:14:28Speaker 2: Are you surprised the hands team's not out there? I
- 2:14:31Speaker 2: would think they'd have a few more guys up and
- 2:14:33Speaker 2: just a couple of guys back here. Utah's got six
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: up right now. But if they attempt an onside kick,
- 2:14:41Speaker 2: USC will have numbers.
- 2:14:46Speaker 1: This surprises me. Chaplenski has a cheat up at his
- 2:14:53Speaker 1: own thirty five. Benson Matthews are back deep.
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: He approaches, puts his right foot in and it's gonna
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: be a fair catch this time. Mikey's not gonna bring
- 2:15:03Speaker 2: this one out. Utah will have it first inten in
- 2:15:05Speaker 2: their own twenty five yard line. Three zero three to
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: play in the ballgame, USC with two timeouts. So Scott,
- 2:15:11Speaker 2: if Utah can get a couple of first downs, they're
- 2:15:13Speaker 2: gonna win this ball game.
- 2:15:15Speaker 1: Yeah, they get a first down, they should be well, no,
- 2:15:18Speaker 1: that's see, they got three gap, give them a couple.
- 2:15:20Speaker 1: Probably have to get a couple here. But what you
- 2:15:22Speaker 1: want is you want you're gonna gain some yardage and
- 2:15:25Speaker 1: you want to have USC burden their timeouts. That's that's
- 2:15:28Speaker 1: what you really want right here, Baki's in the ball
- 2:15:30Speaker 1: game here for Utah with Bryson Barnes on first and
- 2:15:32Speaker 1: ten for the twenty five yard line. I'm calling student
- 2:15:36Speaker 1: body right with Sivake leaving the way.
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: Three receivers on the right hand side for Utah. Now
- 2:15:43Speaker 2: they motion the tight end to the left. First down
- 2:15:45Speaker 2: in ten hand off, Vaki picks his way forward, gets
- 2:15:51Speaker 2: to about the twenty nine yard line. USC does not
- 2:15:54Speaker 2: take a time out yet. Four yard game for Ceoivaki.
- 2:15:58Speaker 1: On first down here, So right here, it's that bootleg
- 2:16:03Speaker 1: play because they're they're gonna sell out to the run.
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: Those those safeties are going to get right up in
- 2:16:08Speaker 1: the box there, and they're just basically everyone's got a
- 2:16:10Speaker 1: gap and they're just gonna shoot those gaps and try
- 2:16:12Speaker 1: to stop Utah on this second down.
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: If they stop them short, you'll see Lincoln Riley take
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: a time out to twenty nine twenty seven as they
- 2:16:22Speaker 2: come to the line of scrimmage. Barnes by himself then
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: will bring Jackson back in the gun. Three receivers to
- 2:16:28Speaker 2: the right hand side, Rice and Barnes with Jackson there,
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: hand off JJ not much there two yards to the
- 2:16:37Speaker 2: thirty one and a timeout taken by USC.
- 2:16:40Speaker 1: It's gonna be third down and we're calling about four.
- 2:16:45Speaker 3: USC is.
- 2:16:47Speaker 1: Hard to figure that call, Scott. Yeah, I just you know,
- 2:16:50Speaker 1: I don't really understand it. I mean, you tied or
- 2:16:53Speaker 1: they do spread out with the wide receivers here, should
- 2:16:56Speaker 1: have a bigger play there. And I don't know who missed.
- 2:17:00Speaker 5: Four block store the game block to two eleven two.
- 2:17:05Speaker 1: Said to Laumea just with his guy just went right
- 2:17:08Speaker 1: to the inside. Just didn't get a good block there.
- 2:17:10Speaker 2: So s he's got one time out remaining and two
- 2:17:13Speaker 2: oh seven to play here Utah face is a third
- 2:17:15Speaker 2: down and calling about five. They didn't pick up much
- 2:17:18Speaker 2: of anything on that play, maybe a yard? Did you
- 2:17:21Speaker 2: went to Jackson to eleven to play in the ball
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: game now in Utah on the night. Just three out
- 2:17:25Speaker 2: of ten on third downs.
- 2:17:26Speaker 1: Yeah, they haven't really been very effective on on third
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: downs here, and you know it's I just don't think
- 2:17:34Speaker 1: they have the confidence in Bryce and Barnes to let
- 2:17:36Speaker 1: him throw the football here unless it's one of again,
- 2:17:39Speaker 1: I just really like the bootleg look here, but you
- 2:17:42Speaker 1: know it gives him that just more options to Well, to.
- 2:17:45Speaker 2: Me, you've got to throw it here. I only say
- 2:17:47Speaker 2: that because they're going to use their.
- 2:17:50Speaker 1: Time out so they complete passes basically the same thing
- 2:17:53Speaker 1: one time out. I just I think you have to
- 2:17:55Speaker 1: give yourself options, and not just because USC has been
- 2:17:57Speaker 1: really good against the run. Yeah, you know, I mean
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: the high percentage pass. You know, you through the slant
- 2:18:03Speaker 1: route to the bonvele earlier in the game, and they
- 2:18:07Speaker 1: haven't come back to it now they haven't. That may
- 2:18:09Speaker 1: be a you know, another good call for you don't
- 2:18:12Speaker 1: want Bryson to have to you know, decipher through a
- 2:18:15Speaker 1: lot of coverage and read a lot of things. You
- 2:18:17Speaker 1: wanted to have just a real simple, clear, easy route
- 2:18:21Speaker 1: to see and make a positive decision on the first
- 2:18:26Speaker 1: down here.
- 2:18:26Speaker 2: If you talk and kidding will in essence gets you
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: the ball games. It'd be very little time left in
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: a long field for us to go. But you've got
- 2:18:35Speaker 2: to pick up five yards. You've got to get to
- 2:18:37Speaker 2: the thirty five yard life.
- 2:18:39Speaker 1: You know. The other thing is to spread them out,
- 2:18:41Speaker 1: go five wide. See if they they keep two guys
- 2:18:44Speaker 1: in the box, you have an extra guy. Man will
- 2:18:47Speaker 1: be open. If they believe one guy in the box,
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: you can run quarterback, draw that they've had some pretty
- 2:18:53Speaker 1: good successful too.
- 2:18:55Speaker 2: So here we go the biggest third down of the night,
- 2:18:57Speaker 2: maybe one of the biggest third downs.
- 2:18:59Speaker 1: Of the season.
- 2:18:59Speaker 2: Here University of Utah. They leaded thirty one to twenty
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: six with two to eleven to play a first down
- 2:19:06Speaker 2: here with an essence ice this game away from.
- 2:19:08Speaker 1: Utah as long as he don't turn it over. You
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: knew this thing. The play is in and Utah breaks
- 2:19:19Speaker 1: the offensive hundle and they'll come out on the field. Here,
- 2:19:23Speaker 1: what's your balls got? I like the slant run. I
- 2:19:28Speaker 1: really like the run. I really do. I like the bootleg.
- 2:19:32Speaker 2: Here we go thirty five Vaki in the backfield with
- 2:19:35Speaker 2: Barnes twin receivers left and right on thirty five.
- 2:19:40Speaker 1: USC will they bring pressure?
- 2:19:42Speaker 2: Barnes changing the play, talking to his line backs up
- 2:19:46Speaker 2: into the shotgun. Here come the Trojans with a three
- 2:19:48Speaker 2: man rush. Barnes throws incomplete. Oh yet a man wide
- 2:19:53Speaker 2: open and missed him. It was focking and bear Alexander
- 2:19:57Speaker 2: and his face forceded to throw it early.
- 2:19:59Speaker 1: That's fourth down. Yeah, I mean, I mean he had
- 2:20:02Speaker 1: a guy there, but you know, just wasn't handled very
- 2:20:05Speaker 1: well up front. I mean, you gotta block these guys.
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: They're not a great defense in front, but a tough
- 2:20:13Speaker 1: call there. Yeah, Yevki gets the first down if you
- 2:20:17Speaker 1: deliver that ball. I think he called the protection and
- 2:20:20Speaker 1: someone didn't slide the right way.
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: Here we go, Balmeister on Zachariah Branch, very dangerous at
- 2:20:26Speaker 2: his own twenty five. Jack's punt is high and away.
- 2:20:30Speaker 2: Branch looks up and he'll take it and return it.
- 2:20:34Speaker 3: Here goes Zachariah Branch.
- 2:20:36Speaker 4: Zachariah Branch thirty five thirty, twenty five, twenty.
- 2:20:41Speaker 1: On his feet out of bounds at the Utah ten.
- 2:20:48Speaker 1: It was only a matter of time.
- 2:20:50Speaker 2: If you continue to kick it to him, and they
- 2:20:53Speaker 2: kicked it right to him, and Branch made them pay.
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: Trojan set up first and goal at the you toss
- 2:21:00Speaker 2: seven a minute fifty two.
- 2:21:03Speaker 1: To play well, Cole Bishop makes a really a touchdown
- 2:21:09Speaker 1: saving tackle. To see what kind of impact that's gonna
- 2:21:13Speaker 1: have on this game. Utah has gotta they gotta preserve time,
- 2:21:16Speaker 1: you know, you gotta. You gotta be able to call
- 2:21:20Speaker 1: those timeouts. You can't. You can't let usc just eat
- 2:21:22Speaker 1: up the clock here, because you've got to give yourself
- 2:21:24Speaker 1: a chance.
- 2:21:25Speaker 2: They'll market at the eleven yard line, just outside goal
- 2:21:28Speaker 2: to go a minute fifty two to play is Caleb
- 2:21:31Speaker 2: Williams brings out the USC offense, trailing by five by
- 2:21:39Speaker 2: himself and the shotgun is Williams Utah with four men down,
- 2:21:47Speaker 2: Williams in the gun takes the snap, drops to pass,
- 2:21:52Speaker 2: gonna keep it himself. Caleb Williams to the five, Caleb
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: Williams pylon touchdown, and USC leads it with a minute
- 2:22:03Speaker 2: forty six to play thirty two thirty one.
- 2:22:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean you you know they every
- 2:22:09Speaker 1: no one's in the middle of the field for Utah.
- 2:22:11Speaker 1: I mean again, it's it's a great call here. I
- 2:22:13Speaker 1: mean there's no one there and there's only four guys
- 2:22:16Speaker 1: to defend on five and he just skates into the
- 2:22:19Speaker 1: end zone.
- 2:22:21Speaker 2: So now they'll go for two to try to make
- 2:22:23Speaker 2: it a three point lead and force Utah to tie
- 2:22:26Speaker 2: with a field goal.
- 2:22:34Speaker 1: You know, like I said earlier in the game, you
- 2:22:35Speaker 1: got to you gotta play to win this game. You
- 2:22:37Speaker 1: gotta go win it. They're not They're not gonna give
- 2:22:39Speaker 1: you the game, and just really really conservative with the
- 2:22:43Speaker 1: calls offensively to not to not get more points.
- 2:22:46Speaker 2: Here we go from the three yard line, two point
- 2:22:49Speaker 2: conversion to make it a three point lead. Williams in
- 2:22:51Speaker 2: the shotgun with Jones next to him to the left.
- 2:22:55Speaker 2: Utah's gonna dial up some pressure here. Here they come,
- 2:22:58Speaker 2: Williams looking surveying, rowing toward the corner, up and incomplete.
- 2:23:03Speaker 2: Utah down one. With a minute forty six to play,
- 2:23:05Speaker 2: they can win it with a field goal. Michael Jackson
- 2:23:07Speaker 2: was the intended wide receiver. Utah's got all three timeouts remaining.
- 2:23:11Speaker 2: This is still a winnable ball game for the US.
- 2:23:13Speaker 1: One thousand percent. You don't have to go score a touchdown.
- 2:23:15Speaker 1: You know you're gonna You're probably gonna start the you know,
- 2:23:19Speaker 1: the play on the on the twenty five yard line.
- 2:23:22Speaker 1: You know you just and Bryce and Barnes a good
- 2:23:24Speaker 1: guy throwing the ball down the field, and you know,
- 2:23:27Speaker 1: you know, there's plenty of plenty of plays to call.
- 2:23:29Speaker 1: But that offensive line got to do a better job
- 2:23:31Speaker 1: of blocking in pass protection. Are you're not gonna go anywhere?
- 2:23:35Speaker 2: So a minute forty six to play. Utah led this
- 2:23:38Speaker 2: game twenty eight to fourteen. They have been outscored now
- 2:23:42Speaker 2: in the ball game eighteen to three, and USC leads
- 2:23:46Speaker 2: it by a point with a minute forty six to play.
- 2:23:48Speaker 2: It's only right that we play this game down to
- 2:23:50Speaker 2: the end. That's how they all seem to go. When
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: Utah and USC square off in the regular season.
- 2:23:55Speaker 1: Well, and you've you've lost all the momentum, you know,
- 2:23:59Speaker 1: and and can you get it back right here? And
- 2:24:00Speaker 1: you should be able to I mean, man, I feel
- 2:24:03Speaker 1: you know. This is what I loved in a game
- 2:24:04Speaker 1: when I was playing quarterback, is you have a chance
- 2:24:06Speaker 1: to go win the football game right here. You don't
- 2:24:09Speaker 1: have to sit on the sidelines and hope you can
- 2:24:11Speaker 1: go out and you can be a big factor in
- 2:24:14Speaker 1: this in this the outcome of this game. That's the
- 2:24:17Speaker 1: way Price has got to think of it in his head.
- 2:24:21Speaker 2: Can Utah come from behind? Can Utah close here? Kick
- 2:24:24Speaker 2: is away?
- 2:24:25Speaker 1: It's high, it's end over end, it's gonna be a.
- 2:24:27Speaker 2: Touchback's a rice at Barnes and the Utah offense, who
- 2:24:33Speaker 2: have gone early quiet in this fourth quarter on the
- 2:24:37Speaker 2: have a seventy yards five yard deal for a touchdown,
- 2:24:40Speaker 2: they probably need to pick.
- 2:24:41Speaker 1: Up about fifty to field Good about a field goal? Yeah,
- 2:24:45Speaker 1: and the clock stops on first down. That's huge well, you've.
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: Got three timeouts remaining here, but you've got to make
- 2:24:51Speaker 2: positive yardage on all your down.
- 2:24:53Speaker 1: Problem is is you've never really been into like a
- 2:24:56Speaker 1: two minute situation, is not? Is this not something you're
- 2:24:58Speaker 1: really familiar with? How you handled it?
- 2:25:02Speaker 2: Barnes and the gun, which a Quinton Jackson. USC's gonna
- 2:25:05Speaker 2: play covert You're at rush four. Ryson takes the staff
- 2:25:09Speaker 2: and play action. Lots of time pumping once, scrambling out
- 2:25:12Speaker 2: to his right, dumps it in the flat caught there.
- 2:25:15Speaker 1: But Jackson goes down after a one yard game. He
- 2:25:18Speaker 1: lost his footing in the open field. Yeah, better throw by,
- 2:25:21Speaker 1: I mean that should have been a first down. Ball
- 2:25:23Speaker 1: should have been out of down. You gotta get a
- 2:25:24Speaker 1: better throw there.
- 2:25:25Speaker 2: A sign of ninety seconds to play a lot running here,
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: second down at nine. Barnes back pedals to pass again.
- 2:25:33Speaker 2: Lots of time stepping, throwing outside through the hands, it
- 2:25:36Speaker 2: incomplete of money parts at the forty two yard line.
- 2:25:39Speaker 2: Money was wide open and he let it go through
- 2:25:41Speaker 2: his hands incomplete, and now it's third down.
- 2:25:44Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's so hard in these situations. You've been
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: in the game, you haven't had a ball thrown to
- 2:25:48Speaker 1: you all day and then late in the game you
- 2:25:50Speaker 1: gotta you gotta go. It's this is a hard thing
- 2:25:53Speaker 1: to do.
- 2:25:54Speaker 2: Well, it's four down territory, third down at nine and
- 2:25:58Speaker 2: a half here, but a minute a team of the
- 2:26:00Speaker 2: clock stop Barts just simply has to catch that ball,
- 2:26:03Speaker 2: no question. Poor receivers here in the motion for Utah
- 2:26:08Speaker 2: back of the backfield, sc is gonna rush for Barnes
- 2:26:13Speaker 2: to pass looking throwing over the middle. Cot flags fly.
- 2:26:18Speaker 2: That's a late hit on USC. It's shy a first
- 2:26:21Speaker 2: down yards, but Utah is gonna get fifteen more here
- 2:26:24Speaker 2: on another dumb play by the Trojans.
- 2:26:27Speaker 1: That's a huge play. This is a massive play right here.
- 2:26:31Speaker 1: Instead of fourth and one, it's gonna be first and
- 2:26:33Speaker 1: tenth personal.
- 2:26:34Speaker 6: Fouls in the number ninety nine Black bartout fifteen or.
- 2:26:41Speaker 5: Amount of first own.
- 2:26:42Speaker 2: That's a second time that I bear Alexander's rough the passer.
- 2:26:44Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that's huge. I mean, now, now you
- 2:26:48Speaker 1: really you're in a position here to really, hey, go
- 2:26:52Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Yeah, don't play for a field goal.
- 2:26:54Speaker 1: If you're Utah, go for the touchdown well, right, and
- 2:26:57Speaker 1: again not being conservative, but but also go for or
- 2:27:00Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna get a field goal, get
- 2:27:03Speaker 1: down to the twenty, you know, make it where it's
- 2:27:05Speaker 1: not this really hard bake of a chip shot. Again,
- 2:27:08Speaker 1: you got plenty of time here, you got three timeouts.
- 2:27:11Speaker 5: Favious players under.
- 2:27:12Speaker 1: Review focuses are reviewing, that's what huh. Oh yeah, that's targeting.
- 2:27:17Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's targeting.
- 2:27:20Speaker 2: All right, Bear Alexander's gonna be bye bye in this
- 2:27:23Speaker 2: ball game. He just went helmet to helmet, face, mask
- 2:27:25Speaker 2: to face.
- 2:27:26Speaker 1: Man, you say that, and we've said it before, but uh, yeah,
- 2:27:33Speaker 1: I I just have no opinion. I just you know, yeah,
- 2:27:38Speaker 1: that's that's clearly leading with your head. Two ahead. This
- 2:27:42Speaker 1: helps Utah now too.
- 2:27:43Speaker 2: They can take your breath here to gather themselves a
- 2:27:46Speaker 2: little bit long time out. You've still got three. Hey,
- 2:27:50Speaker 2: you can run the football if you want to, Scott.
- 2:27:51Speaker 2: If they're gonna play coverage, run the football.
- 2:27:54Speaker 1: Yeah, and those those little easy throws over the middle
- 2:27:58Speaker 1: of the field are really are really you know, hypercentage
- 2:28:01Speaker 1: and you can get him, you can get the first down.
- 2:28:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's just totally has to be determined.
- 2:28:08Speaker 5: The number ninety committed a personal bowel mary penalty.
- 2:28:17Speaker 2: Well, you were right, bill Well, I haven't been right
- 2:28:21Speaker 2: much on targeting, but if that one wasn't, I was
- 2:28:23Speaker 2: just gonna quit.
- 2:28:24Speaker 1: I was just gonna be done with it all. I'm
- 2:28:26Speaker 1: with you.
- 2:28:27Speaker 2: So Utah's got it first and ten at their own
- 2:28:29Speaker 2: forty nine three timeouts remaining. You probably need to get
- 2:28:33Speaker 2: to about the thirty yard line to feel good about
- 2:28:35Speaker 2: Cole Becker's ring.
- 2:28:36Speaker 1: He's got a big leg, but remember he's been injured
- 2:28:38Speaker 1: right right now, so he needs don't don't stop being aggressive.
- 2:28:44Speaker 2: Here thirty two thirty one Trojans would have been at
- 2:28:46Speaker 2: tend to play Barnes and the gun, which you Quinn did,
- 2:28:48Speaker 2: Jackson next to him, three receivers in the pattern.
- 2:28:52Speaker 1: Here, move it up front. Oh my goodness, Spencer Fono. Yeah,
- 2:29:03Speaker 1: and you know, pressure does funny things to people.
- 2:29:05Speaker 6: We'll start your fifty five offense five yard penalty their.
- 2:29:10Speaker 5: Names first out.
- 2:29:11Speaker 1: You know that's where you just as quarterbacks say, look,
- 2:29:13Speaker 1: don't do too much, hey, just do your job. We
- 2:29:15Speaker 1: got this. Just focus on doing your job. Still, first down, first.
- 2:29:19Speaker 2: And fifteen now becomes a little bit more difficult, but
- 2:29:23Speaker 2: you're in four down territory right now if you're Utah anyway,
- 2:29:26Speaker 2: So pick up four five six yards here on first down,
- 2:29:29Speaker 2: Barnes out of the gun. Three receivers at the back
- 2:29:32Speaker 2: of the ball game. Barnes keeps it out on the
- 2:29:38Speaker 2: right edge. Bryson Barnes forty five Bryson Barnes for the
- 2:29:41Speaker 2: forty three of USC and picks up about thirteen yards
- 2:29:45Speaker 2: on first down. As we dip under a minute to play,
- 2:29:48Speaker 2: I'd take the time out here if I'm Utah.
- 2:29:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I would too, especially you know, Bryson
- 2:29:51Speaker 1: got rattled right there. I got hit pretty hard. Second
- 2:29:54Speaker 1: down in two.
- 2:29:54Speaker 2: As we come up on fifty and now forty nine seconds,
- 2:29:57Speaker 2: they're taking way too much time here.
- 2:29:58Speaker 1: We need forty five four.
- 2:30:03Speaker 2: Here's Barnes again, looking looking, looking, scrambling out to his right,
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: throwing down the field and throwing it away.
- 2:30:11Speaker 1: They just wasted twenty two seconds of time. Yeah, don't
- 2:30:15Speaker 1: leave those. Don't leave those in your pocket. You just
- 2:30:17Speaker 1: don't want to leave them in your pocket. I'm really
- 2:30:20Speaker 1: gonna carry him over the next week. You can't. And
- 2:30:23Speaker 1: you just you want to have a comfortable amount of time,
- 2:30:26Speaker 1: can you You can? So here we go thirty two
- 2:30:30Speaker 1: for Utah. Gotta get to the USC.
- 2:30:35Speaker 2: Forty one yard line, three out of eleven of the
- 2:30:39Speaker 2: ball game, two for five Here in the second half,
- 2:30:43Speaker 2: pre receivers and Jackson in the backfield, sugar Toaraga. Now
- 2:30:47Speaker 2: King on the right hand side. Utah hands off because
- 2:30:52Speaker 2: you win? Did Jackson? And he's very close to first
- 2:30:55Speaker 2: down yard he is he short time out taken by
- 2:31:00Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham. They waited again another ten seconds and it's
- 2:31:05Speaker 2: gonna be fourth down and about half a yard I think,
- 2:31:07Speaker 2: or are they.
- 2:31:08Speaker 6: Gonna measure first charge till you're tah.
- 2:31:19Speaker 2: They're really close? Those are the balls about the forty one.
- 2:31:22Speaker 2: I'm surprise they haven't measured.
- 2:31:26Speaker 1: Fourth down.
- 2:31:28Speaker 2: Oh, here's the ball game. Yeah, and you've only got
- 2:31:32Speaker 2: twenty five seconds left. Now you still need at these
- 2:31:37Speaker 2: ten yards to feel good.
- 2:31:39Speaker 1: About a field goal of your Utah. I'm gonna say
- 2:31:41Speaker 1: they're gonna go with Jaquindon Jackson and Sioni Vaki, but
- 2:31:47Speaker 1: I may be wrong.
- 2:31:49Speaker 2: Yeah, he was short short by about half a yard.
- 2:31:56Speaker 2: Barry Alexander's out. He's one of the gap pluggers up front.
- 2:32:00Speaker 2: Fourth and half a yard for Utah down a point
- 2:32:02Speaker 2: with twenty five seconds to play. Here at the Coliseum,
- 2:32:07Speaker 2: a lot on the line here on display for Utah,
- 2:32:09Speaker 2: perhaps an opportunity to repeat his tack twelve champions.
- 2:32:12Speaker 1: Two losses would hurt the cause they are going a wildcat,
- 2:32:16Speaker 1: which a win that he's by himself.
- 2:32:21Speaker 2: JJ in the backfield motion man money parks Jackson takes
- 2:32:27Speaker 2: it himself, buries his head straight ahead. He's got first
- 2:32:29Speaker 2: down yardage to the forty yard line. Utah's gotta take
- 2:32:32Speaker 2: a time out here, I would think so he finally
- 2:32:35Speaker 2: do with seventeen seconds. Well the clock stops. They've got
- 2:32:42Speaker 2: to get at least another ten yards here. They've got
- 2:32:44Speaker 2: two timeouts.
- 2:32:46Speaker 5: Talk on, please restore the flock to nineteen seconds.
- 2:32:50Speaker 1: Are they gonna spike this? Just take the time out
- 2:32:52Speaker 1: of I'm not taking the time out.
- 2:32:57Speaker 5: Turn let the field. The runner made the line again
- 2:33:00Speaker 5: for a burst down.
- 2:33:00Speaker 1: The previous play is on a replay review under review.
- 2:33:05Speaker 1: They feel if the ball was at the forty yard
- 2:33:07Speaker 1: line when he stretched it out. Although how they're reviewing this.
- 2:33:18Speaker 1: You know, if you're gonna run the top, if you're
- 2:33:20Speaker 1: gonna run the ball, you got to use your timeouts
- 2:33:22Speaker 1: because it just eats up too much time. You gotta
- 2:33:25Speaker 1: you know, they've wasted maybe forty seconds in this game
- 2:33:28Speaker 1: just by not calling these timeouts. I mean, I don't
- 2:33:35Speaker 1: know what they're reviewing. It doesn't appear that he was short,
- 2:33:38Speaker 1: But what do I know, doctor, are you really.
- 2:33:49Speaker 6: On the field and runner making the line the game
- 2:33:51Speaker 6: for a burst down stands as ball?
- 2:33:54Speaker 3: Oh boy?
- 2:33:57Speaker 2: So nineteen seconds on the game plot, Utah down by one.
- 2:34:01Speaker 1: They're at the USC forty.
- 2:34:03Speaker 2: They've got to get probably at least another ten yard
- 2:34:05Speaker 2: Scott be and field goal range here. This clock will
- 2:34:12Speaker 2: start on the whistle here, I believe for the referee.
- 2:34:19Speaker 2: First in ten Utah of the USC forty, Barns of
- 2:34:22Speaker 2: the shotgun, Bryce in motions a man out of the backfield. Bryce,
- 2:34:26Speaker 2: it looks to throw, looks fires in cut behind his man.
- 2:34:30Speaker 2: Oh yet Beylay wide open at the twenty nine and
- 2:34:33Speaker 2: threw it behind him incomplete, second down, sixteen seconds to play.
- 2:34:39Speaker 1: And this is a little wrinkle here that you know,
- 2:34:42Speaker 1: again not a play that Bryson's running the games before,
- 2:34:45Speaker 1: and so it's just a new look and it's just
- 2:34:49Speaker 1: a little money. He's not quite sure where to throw him.
- 2:34:53Speaker 2: Second down, ten to go, sixteen seconds to play. Utah's
- 2:34:56Speaker 2: got two timeouts. Poor receivers ange Gwynda Jackson s he
- 2:35:04Speaker 2: shuffling around up.
- 2:35:05Speaker 1: Front, goop it up on you. Goodness, you've got to
- 2:35:08Speaker 1: be kidding me. The center this time, I think I
- 2:35:13Speaker 1: think Coley.
- 2:35:13Speaker 5: Moved farm mist out. I'll start give a sixty one offense.
- 2:35:20Speaker 3: Are your convents man?
- 2:35:22Speaker 2: Second guy, Well, you've got to take shots now, Scott, Yeah,
- 2:35:26Speaker 2: you've got to pick up fifteen yards right now to
- 2:35:28Speaker 2: feel good about a field goal. Cole Becker's warming up
- 2:35:31Speaker 2: down there. But remember Becker nearly tore his end up
- 2:35:34Speaker 2: through his stomach muscle about two months ago, and he's
- 2:35:38Speaker 2: looked like he's been easing up on extra points.
- 2:35:41Speaker 1: So here we go. Three receivers left, one to the right.
- 2:35:45Speaker 2: On second and ten, Barnes is gonna pass four man rush,
- 2:35:50Speaker 2: lots of time looking scrambling, Bryson looking down the field,
- 2:35:53Speaker 2: get into the outside Bryson Barnes thirty twenty five, twenty fifteen,
- 2:35:58Speaker 2: and he's down time out with seconds five seconds to play.
- 2:36:01Speaker 2: Bryce and Barnes gets to the seventeen yard line and
- 2:36:04Speaker 2: you tossed now in field goal range with five seconds
- 2:36:07Speaker 2: to play.
- 2:36:09Speaker 1: Oh bananas man o by Bryce and Barnes to give
- 2:36:14Speaker 1: his team a chance.
- 2:36:16Speaker 5: You're talking.
- 2:36:17Speaker 1: Yeah, the only thing you would ever do right here
- 2:36:20Speaker 1: is go, let's just try to put the ball more
- 2:36:22Speaker 1: in the middle of the field here. But wow, what
- 2:36:26Speaker 1: a gutsy little play there by Bryson Barnes. Amazing, incredible.
- 2:36:30Speaker 1: Or you kick the field goal right here? Well, I
- 2:36:32Speaker 1: think you do.
- 2:36:34Speaker 2: With five seconds left, you just think if you can't
- 2:36:36Speaker 2: take a chance, it'll be about a twenty six yard attempt.
- 2:36:43Speaker 2: We'll see this now that it's gonna be about a
- 2:36:45Speaker 2: They mark him at the nineteen, so this is gonna
- 2:36:46Speaker 2: be about a thirty six yard attempt from just inside
- 2:36:50Speaker 2: the right hash.
- 2:36:51Speaker 1: Oh boy, they are taking the offense back on the
- 2:36:54Speaker 1: field with.
- 2:36:54Speaker 2: Five seconds in a time out left, Well they're not kicking.
- 2:37:03Speaker 2: Wait a minute now the kick team comes out.
- 2:37:05Speaker 1: I think Utah's gonna have to take another time out.
- 2:37:09Speaker 1: What are they doing here? You had a time out?
- 2:37:12Speaker 2: I mean, here we go Colbecker to win the game
- 2:37:16Speaker 2: for Utah a thirty seven yard attempt USC coming after
- 2:37:24Speaker 2: it time out, taken by the Trojans their final time out.
- 2:37:32Speaker 5: USC.
- 2:37:34Speaker 1: This has been a bizarre game.
- 2:37:37Speaker 2: I mean, there were about seventeen guys on the field
- 2:37:40Speaker 2: on that play.
- 2:37:41Speaker 1: For Utah when they were running them in and out,
- 2:37:43Speaker 1: and and Bryson's seeing these guys come on the field
- 2:37:46Speaker 1: and it looks like he's trying to run a play
- 2:37:47Speaker 1: while people are coming on the field, Like it just
- 2:37:50Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense whatsoever. All Right, Cole Becker was
- 2:37:54Speaker 1: brought to Utah for situations like this. Yeah.
- 2:37:57Speaker 2: He was a very good, very reliable kicker at the
- 2:37:59Speaker 2: University of Colorado, making over.
- 2:38:01Speaker 1: Eighty percent of his kicks. He has had an injury
- 2:38:04Speaker 1: this fall.
- 2:38:05Speaker 2: This will be about a thirty seven yard attempt just
- 2:38:07Speaker 2: inside the right hash for Becker. It will be arguably
- 2:38:11Speaker 2: the biggest kick of his collegiate career, and it's a
- 2:38:14Speaker 2: kick that could really send Utah into a good space
- 2:38:18Speaker 2: heading next week to the Oregon does Yeah, thirty two
- 2:38:22Speaker 2: thirty one SC with five seconds to play. No timeouts
- 2:38:25Speaker 2: remain for usc what remains for Utah. This is where
- 2:38:30Speaker 2: you just have to be so good. Grief the long snapper,
- 2:38:33Speaker 2: bow Measter, the holder. Oh, they're bringing the offense back out.
- 2:38:39Speaker 1: What are they doing? Are they gonna center the ball?
- 2:38:41Speaker 1: What are they doing here? Wow?
- 2:38:47Speaker 2: Barnes goes under center. I can only think they're gonna
- 2:38:49Speaker 2: center this ball in the middle of the field. Rison
- 2:38:54Speaker 2: runs to the middle of the field and then goes down.
- 2:38:56Speaker 2: They take a time out with three seconds to play
- 2:39:00Speaker 2: in final charge time out.
- 2:39:02Speaker 5: Utah.
- 2:39:03Speaker 1: Yeah, and see that's a situation where you go to
- 2:39:04Speaker 1: your kicker and you say, look, do you like the
- 2:39:06Speaker 1: right hash because it because it's kind of short, it's
- 2:39:09Speaker 1: a funky angle, yep. And so now this is basically
- 2:39:12Speaker 1: a long extra point it is you know, that's and
- 2:39:14Speaker 1: that's all, and that's you couldn't ask yourself for a
- 2:39:17Speaker 1: better situation for your kicker. You know, right here you did.
- 2:39:20Speaker 1: It's all set up how you do.
- 2:39:21Speaker 2: It's all set up here for Cole Becker and for
- 2:39:24Speaker 2: Utah thirty two thirty one USC three seconds to play
- 2:39:29Speaker 2: here at the Coliseum, Utah trying to make it four
- 2:39:32Speaker 2: st rate victories over the Trojans and keep themselves in
- 2:39:35Speaker 2: the Pac twelve race.
- 2:39:38Speaker 1: And it really it really helps because that angle is
- 2:39:40Speaker 1: is kind of weird and it and it just gives
- 2:39:42Speaker 1: you a better chance to potentially block something. But here
- 2:39:45Speaker 1: we got it. It's tougher.
- 2:39:48Speaker 2: From about the thirty seven and a half right up
- 2:39:52Speaker 2: the middle out of the hold of Jack Balmeister.
- 2:40:00Speaker 1: Stap is back, the kick is away, it is up,
- 2:40:02Speaker 1: and it is good.
- 2:40:05Speaker 4: It's good, It's good, and the Utes have beat the
- 2:40:10Speaker 4: Trojans at the Colisseum.
- 2:40:13Speaker 1: Final score Utah.
- 2:40:18Speaker 3: Thirty five No.
- 2:40:20Speaker 1: Thirty four at USC thirty two. Oh House finished.
- 2:40:24Speaker 2: Tonight here in Southern California thirty four thirty two.
- 2:40:28Speaker 1: Utah wins it.
- 2:40:29Speaker 2: Cole Becker drills it from thirty eight yards at Utah
- 2:40:33Speaker 2: has escaped Southern California and beat the Trojans for a
- 2:40:37Speaker 2: fourth consecutive game.
- 2:40:39Speaker 1: That's right, They're gonna get another Happy Father's Day card
- 2:40:43Speaker 1: next year. What a sweet way, what sweet poetic justice.
- 2:40:47Speaker 1: Utah is drying everything they possibly can do to lose
- 2:40:49Speaker 1: his game, and they find a way to win it
- 2:40:51Speaker 1: in the very end. And oh man, if you're a
- 2:40:53Speaker 1: Utah fan, you have to love a game like this
- 2:40:56Speaker 1: more than anything in the world. Bryce and Barn stepped
- 2:41:01Speaker 1: up big at the end of this game and just
- 2:41:03Speaker 1: found a way to win because it was looking really
- 2:41:05Speaker 1: ugly here for Utah.
- 2:41:07Speaker 2: Wow, thirty four to thirty two to the final. Kyle
- 2:41:10Speaker 2: Winningham continues his domination over Lincoln Riley and the Utes
- 2:41:15Speaker 2: keep their hopes alive for a Treatment three peat in
- 2:41:17Speaker 2: the PAC twelve Conference. Four Street wins over usc Utah,
- 2:41:21Speaker 2: wins it Tonight
