ball tuon we'll call his name a lot today first down throw and catch is made by dayquan Felton pay attention to how aggressive this play calling is for the hokes last week it was conservative here is ton he's a solid back and he puts it on the ground that ball came loose right as he crossed a line of scrimmage on a second down and a yard it looked like there's Center bril and Moore this is the perfect view right here great shot by Marshall defensive tackle getting his left arm in there poor ball security but got away got away with one there almost surprised the defense that he fumbled the ball bounced around there for a few times took a shot as he cuts it Loose catches made by one of two gosell brothers and there's a penalty flag that comes in late they call it a gain of one so it's second down and nine dump it off to the tight end the other Gosnell will be calling his name today Benji gos now take the hand off throw it across the middle had an open receiver there so to bring up third down in fact when H was interviewing for the job pry was already on staff and was part of the interview process alai Thomas has checked into the game for the first time in the back field only a four-man Rush all day to throw it now the pocket collapses brones is going to take off and he's not going to get there he's tackled at the 24 yd line football defense had started back in 1995 and on first down a nice pickup that's Elijah meta we're going to call his name a lot today Robinson in motion third down they lofted towards the sideline good throw a catch and then the ball comes loose is that a wide ball or did he step out of bounds I think he caught it and then stepped out of bounds a blitz is coming and chopped down at the 30 yd line that'll be a loss of Two And so much of this run game in the air raid is just a box count perfect angle right there from the YP Cam and we're lucky to have him here at CW Sports all right a first down and they hand it off to Malai Thomas he'll get some carries their main man of course is toot there he give it to Thomas again and he cuts it back to the left side he's caught from behind but not before he picks up a first down out to the 42 a pick up of five so a second down and 10 from the 42 yd line and tuon checks back into the game looking to turn the corner and he does and appears to be right at the stick he might be a yard short so third down they call it two and and drones being chased and he is sack so they elect to throw it on third down there were three receivers all the way down at the 25 yd line great coverage in the sack there's Mike Green again Mike Green and his buddy Landon Watson that's two drives in a row Landon Watson had the fourth down stop couple drives ago Jackson dart's a special talent put up a lot of points last week that'll be a phone one terrific defense Carri loss of four they're down and 14 drones has missed on his last four throws this is an easy completion but that play is not going anywhere to jayen Lane and some of the boirs here at Lane Stadium coming out lay it off out of the back field to meta and he is dropped for a big loss inside the 10 yd line catches made but minimal gain out across the 15 pick up of seven but gives him a little breathing room for the punt punters have been very busy and breaking loose is Lan he's inside the 30 the 15 he'll go for a touchdown there are penalty flags on the field back at the 35 yd line we wait on the penalty your offense can't get it going turn to special teams you're watching CW Football Saturday presented by Verizon seven nothing in fact they had Cole pen Pennington yes the son of Chad Pennington who also threw a touchdown last week first big run of the game and it is a good one and laid out as AJ turner He's a guy you may remember after they had the long weather delay second down and 10 quarterback keeper and you talked about he can't run it a little bit maybe not as well as Braxton Toton in the back field and they'll hand it to him off to the left side good G for Toton and he is all the way up to the 40 yd line that'll be a gain of 19 I love this run game concept they're going to bring Benji gnell the tight end and Adam as an additional blocker right there in the hole just an extra hat they'll try to and again why not be a gain of close to five maybe closer to four in regard to a big play except for the punt return fake Punt and being chased again as drones and he throws it at the last instant and I'm wondering if they're going to say this was a sack nope now they say incomplete pass great explanation right here even though he gets out of the pocket so he breaks to the left of the left tackle he's good but even there you can throw the ball away but it's got to get past the line of scrimmage they saw it in the second half last week at Vanderbilt but not today here's two he's been their best weapon on just a couple of carries he's down to the 40 yd line Trevor knows about getting a hand off and breaking some tackles and here's Toton and he's toting all the way down to the 15 yd line that's the way Trevor scales used to run it great out there funny enough Bron cor the offensive line head coach for Virginia Tech was my offensive line coach back in Harvard at that time he is lives and dies by the Hat on a hat mentality he gets those guys going and really has a sound approach to each and every aspect I saw on his Instagram yesterday he's squatting nearly 300 lb oh he's got it going on two smash to the ground after a gain of three maybe four and they fake it to two and they drop it off out of the back field and it'll be first and goal as Jaylen Lane is out to the 2yd line he was perfect last week missed two field goals all of last season and this one right down the middle how do you feel walking off knowing you just got three you're pissed off especially when you bring it in the context of the whole game where you have yet to find consistent offensive momentum again in the first half and we said in the open this is an and they stay with stone Earl speaking of quarterback they try it on the ground that's a nice pickup on first down by AJ Turner okay so medf stands back at his 35 yard line and they block the putt picked up at the five and then it bounces out of bounds and it'll be first down and goal for the Thundering Herd the two biggest plays of this game have come on putts Gunner on the bottom of the screen times this up perfectly look at 41 to the bottom of his screen sells out he started that play lined up on the very outside about to block the Gunner for Virginia Tech motions inside times the snap air Foster selling out and coming up with a huge play for the Thundering Herd how about that and sneaking into the end zone is Ethan Payne he has been their main man on the ground their most experienced returning rusher we haven't called his name all day long and now we do talked about the a AR but this time they're having three backs in the backfield two tight ends Ethan Payne behind them and they're taking advantage of a huge special teams play third down and four Here Comes The Blitz off the edge drones able to get away and What A Catch made by the short-handed tight end Benji gnell they've had this in the Pro game going all the way back to 1949 Virginia Tech and right now take what the defense gives you just can't make the critical mistake given that your team has the momentum and he is sack better to be careful here minute 12 they pitch it into some space and Jordan Houston gets him a little bit of room the difference between the Virginia Tech offense in the first half when they had three points and then they explode for 24 in the second half and they're not even going to try and throw it down the field out of timeouts usually most teams just warm up in the stadium they had some sort of activity out there pregame they're waiting for Eder Sandman to come franking along well you got to run it again don't you third and two Yep they're going to give it to Toton and he gets a first down so you said it you want to see him start running the rock Max Brown ball at the 39 yd line a four straight hand off to tuon and a fourth straight solid gain he's inside the 35 a gain of six on first down gate to him coming off the sideline after the three straight carries here's pralo and he just lowers his shoulder and Bulls his way to the 27 still preo in the back field not Thomas not to and they fake it to Lane and drones will keep it and he is inside the 20 needed to get to the 17 for a first half three-point game here in the opening minutes of the third qu quarter laning again in motion first throw of this second half flag down and it's caught and Lane inside the five but again a flag on the far side of the field after a gain of 14 all right toting in the back field in the shotgun from just beyond the one they pitch it to two he's going to dance into the end zone untouched for a touchdown a touchdown on a fourth and goal for watching CW Football Saturday Notre Dame not having a conference how does that play out with the 12 team playoff they hand it off on first down I thought this was their best play on the first half and don't look now but AJ Turner is Off to the Races he cuts it back across the field and he's finally run down at the 18 yd line right there he's going to get through the a gap and then watch this cut on the safety boom right there safety thought he was working to his left AJ Turner says I'm going to go against the grain back to the right and his buddy Elijah metaps try to get him a block downfield that Virginia secondary as Turner goes under the medical tent they throw it to the end zone and that is a touchdown the first Marshall offensive touchdown of the game goes to Christian Fitzpatrick to three again and they've been trying these vertical routes with Christian Fitzpatrick but usually it's when he's the outside receiver they put Fitzpatrick in the slot this time running the ball all but one play was a run play and and drones will keep this one himself breaks one tackle and not able to shake a second Defender that was a loss of a yard where they spotted it now looking for the big one down the sideline What A Catch all the way at the 15 by Steven gnell and they also say his ability to take the top off the defense has become part of his game always been a great route Runner but what a c C selling it out had two maybe three steps on the Marshall DB Steven gnell coming up you get those opportunities there haven't been that many in this game how about some of the offense all of a sudden in this game too inside the 15 by 33 two fun matchups vertical shots as a receiver can you come down with it shooting again he's able to plow forward appears to be a yard short of the first down oh quarterback sneak came up to the line of scrimmage late took the snap first and goal for the hokes quarterback keeper looking for the corner and able to get there it is a touchdown for drones three yd run backto back touchdown scoring drives for Virginia Tech 24 technology you're watching CW football B Saturday presented by ver Big Time play made by Josh fuger loss of five fuger at that defense of Tackle Spot one of those five defensive tackles that they really like not sure how much of a QB competition it truly is first down carry and good yardage picking up that's Fitzpatrick big Target in motion protection breaks down quarterback takes off running and he lunges forward did he get there I think he did yes indeed that is a first down good protection this time and it's tipped and intercepted it was tipped by Phillips and then intercepted by delay all over this field today and check this out they're going to do a little wheel route try to get over Mo Phillips after the play sideline warning on the Virginia Tech sideline Vanderbilt really went after him and had some success and he's a good player he's had an off day and rumbling down inside the 45 it's two now second half of the second game getting some continuity play fake and acrossing connection is made to Lane and that'll be another first down to the 23 yd Line This Is What You Love about kir drones when he's on Rhythm and has a clean pocket look at this second window throw he waits for the receiver to get past that first linebacker and throws him open into the open window this is why they keep coming back they should have beat Auburn last year if they had any sort of offensive quarterback play they found Fernando Mendoza and Peter Surman Justin WX defense showing out here's drones on the keeper he's down to the 5 yd line gain of four for Bas Shaw two pum fake one way come to the end zone and that is a touchdown for the hokes dayquan Fel I was just thinking Tom we haven't called Felton's name today and it's 65 215 when you get to the Red Zone that's the type of weapon you love 30 to4 Virginia Tech this is CW Football Saturday it's been Stone Earl right from the GetGo three quarterbacks played in their season opening win over Stony Brook good to see Turner back in there I got tell you I like the way this guy runs the ball third down and a yard quarterback keeper good enough to move the sticks out across the 30 to the 32 yd line for Earl good protection and there's a guy you like oh my goodness are you kidding me Christian Fitzpatrick Randy Moss and coin the term you just got Moss this is Big Time one hand using the right hand basically staring down the corner the whole time that's a lot of man great hops right there that is a big time catch by Christian Fitzpatrick who's had a very good second half cleared down and 10 underneath touches Le boy that was a that was a well-designed play it picks up seven fourth down met in motion and he's wide open he'll pick up the first down cuts it back to the inside boy he barely made the first down he looked like he had a lot of turf in front of him down the sideline and it's half of the Sun Belt Conference and there's a flag down the catch is made compl to seven need to get to the four they throw it oh he was open Fitzpatrick and the throw is Too Tall Virginia Tech will take over with 823 to go in the game that was a long drive put together as here's a big carry and continuing to stay on his feet and dragging about seven guys along with him looking Right Guard guard I guess he's left guard in this possession maliky thom's done a good job he's had a knack for doing that today of you're up 31 to 14 good stuff Trevor thank you very much drones good protection it breaks down and he is sacked from behind and we told you so many connections between these two programs and one of them being that Pride his father played fullback at Marshall pre takes over in the back field and about to go to one and one after the front two here in 24o running hard the Demon Deacons hosting the Old Miss Rebels as Lane kein Jackson dard and Company third down and four and the catch is made for a first down to the 20yd line this time they find Meda you're probably not running it at all but you the passing playback Playbook opens up oh was a late snap and he throws it up to the end zone bodies getting tangled up and no penalty flag be a huge reason why if Virginia Tech comes away with this thing that they won this game you know I'm interested in something that you said earlier when you talk about coaches that will start preaching to their teams over and over we got to get into a a better start to game Malachi Thomas stay in the back field and will carry it breaks it off to the left side and he's up to the 30 and again one more time to remind you next Saturday night Prime Time 6:30 but now second year in a row home of CW Sports and we're going to be with you each and every Saturday through the football season the college basketball season we'll be hanging around for Coach pry and the Virginia Tech coach 3114 our final score
